Mao Xueren, a representative from Hunan, read the materials issued by the industrial conference in the palace garden, and stopped for a while to read a paragraph, thoughtful. For the same thing, different questions get different results. Management is mysterious, which made him suddenly get out of Liang Rengong's doctrine and enter Yang Jingcheng's world, which is so magical that he will not want to return.

"The result of improving quality is to reduce costs and increase production ......" is another sentence that puzzles him, according to his experience in running a soap factory, the better the thing, the higher the cost, and the more troublesome the production. How can this mean that the better the quality, the lower the cost, the higher the output? He thought about it for a long time and couldn't find the reason, a few days ago, hundreds of people held a symposium together, although the situation was lively and relaxed, but it was a little noisy, which made him not hear Yang Rui's explanation, which was very embarrassing.

"Master Mao, Master Mao......" When Mao Xueren was thinking, a voice next to him whispered. It only pulled him out of his thinking. He looked back and saw that it was the staff member Zhou Xiangyu, and immediately smiled: "Oh." Little ghost, I'm not a master, I'm not a master, I'm only nineteen years old, not much older than you! ”

"Master Mao is polite." Zhou Xiangyu has a very good impression of the young Mao Xueren. Although he was only fifteen years old, he was a member of the revival and had the experience of the Tonghua School of Law and Politics. Let him be very calm in dealing with people and things, "Master Mao, I will hand in my business plan today." Everyone's have already handed over ......."

"Okay! Okay! You come with me to get it. Mao Xueren got up and went back to the room to get the plan, he walked in the royal garden, and sighed at the impermanence of the world. At this time last year, he was still a student at the Xiangxiang Provincial Middle School, and he excitedly cut his braids and dropped out of school when he made a big move. At first, I wanted to join the Renaissance Army. But the revolution ended within a few months. At that time, many schools in Tanzhou were set up, and one of the technical schools also taught people to make soap, and provided accommodation and allowances. Half a year later, the first soap factory in Xiangtan opened, and half a year later, he was in the capital, not only met the emperor. It has also become a national industrial representative, which is really like a dream.

Under the butterfly effect. The two great men who were supposed to meet in Guangzhou in 1925 met thirteen years in advance at the palace of Prince Alcohol in the capital, and this time the two met to discuss not the Northern Expedition Revolution, but a business plan, and their names have not yet appeared because of history, and may never appear.

Yang Rui didn't know that there were such two great men in the palace garden, he was reading the business plan with Xu Huafeng at this time to determine the loan investment, as long as it was passed, it would enter the next round of negotiations, and if it did not pass, the State Industrial Bank would come forward and issue a loan of less than 50,000 taels, in fact, this money is already a lot for people who have not been shortlisted, they are generally small workshops.

"Actually, do you know Rong Zongjing of Maoxin Flour? Why don't so many people mention it, but you just mention his warship flour? Xu Huafeng said. Don't you don't value light industry, and now you also look at their proposals? ”

Seeing Xu Huafeng's question, Yang Rui smiled and said: "People's flour is just made well, what can I do." What we invest in now, what we invest in, isn't it just investing in these people? There is no technology to learn, there is no machine to buy, there is no factory to build, but there are no people, I am not talking about workers, but about the company's operators - let's just say us, in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the tax revenue was 300 million, the country was full of holes, to our hands, the tax revenue immediately exceeded 500 million, and the national situation also rose. Why? Isn't it because the team that manages this country is different? That's why I say what is the most expensive in the twentieth century, the most expensive talent! ”

Yang Rui has been in a sunny mood these days, Xu Huafeng also smiled when he saw him like this, and then he said: "Do you really want to set up that venture capital company?" And then take the shares of these companies and list them on the Shanghai Stock Exchange? ”

"Hmm. That's what it means, but if you want to go public in ten years, there is no sound accounting system and no complete bill system, and stocks are not played. In fact, commercial matters are best solved by commercial methods, there are still idle funds in the country, and only relying on the government's hundreds of millions of tax revenues can only build some key industries, such as heavy industries with large investment and long return periods, such as textiles, silk reeling, matches, flour, oil extraction, etc., or let the businessmen get it. We just need to train the general office, quality control personnel, and technical school students. By the way, you also have to remember to collect taxes, you can't be too cheap for them. Yang Rui said with great interest.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huafeng laughed, these days he heard Yang Rui talk about quality management, and he also had deep confidence in the defeat of foreign manufacturing by Chinese manufacturing. After laughing, he asked: "Actually, the book you wrote to the United States is not the current one, are you trying to lead the Americans down the wrong path?" ”

"If you don't lead the Americans down the wrong path, it's difficult to lead them to the right path?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically. In this world, he published a book earlier than Taylor, the father of scientific management, and even earlier than Henri Fayol, and is recognized as the father of management in the world. "The thinking of Westerners, especially Americans, is very simple, and they do everything with one tendon. For example, the minimum quota system for workers seems to improve efficiency, but in fact, the weight is not important to the quality, and it doesn't matter if the production is a little rougher, but if it is a precise thing, it will be ruined, and I don't know how many defective products there will be at that time.

In our country, low labor costs are an advantage. However, if the labor cost is cheap, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding that the price is low, and it is difficult for ordinary people to think of the truth that the better the quality, the lower the cost. That's what we're going to instill now. No matter how expensive it is, it has to be instilled. After this time, I feel that the Ministry of Industry will also subsidize those who study quality control, and they will also have to take exams, and they will also have to pay subsidies for passing exams. By the way, there are also awards! ”

Yang Rui suddenly stood up when he said this, he remembered that there was a Deming Award, and Six Sigma also had a black belt exam. This set of things has to be moved all over. It is important to train entrepreneurs, but it is also important to cultivate quality control at the grassroots level where quality can be continuously improved, and to create a culture of quality in industry. At present, there are still very few factories in the country. It is difficult to cultivate, and when there are more factories and the atmosphere is bad, it will be difficult to promote.

Yang Rui asked Li Zilong to arrange this matter. Xu Huafeng was used to talking to him and wandering away, or going to work while talking, and other things. He knew he would be back when he was done. Yang Rui was busy. Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing suddenly came here, but they had something to see.

"Mr. Zhusan." Zhu Baosan led the way, and as soon as Yu Qiaqing came in, he saluted Xu Huafeng, everyone was very familiar, he didn't call the official name, just called Xu Huafeng's words.

"Oh, Brother Bao, Ade. Brother Ade, haha......" Xu Huafeng was funny when he thought about what happened that day. "Why are you here?"

"We're asking to see the Prime Minister." Zhu Baosan and Yang Rui are not familiar with each other. His gaze wandered, but he didn't find Yang Rui.

"Oh, Cheng just went out, please do it first." Xu Huafeng greeted, "You shouldn't be doing it for the shipyard, right?" "The name of Yangzi Machinery is Gu Runzhang's, but the big boss behind it is Song Weichen, who is an official businessman who has set up a lot of industries in Wuchang Hankou under the friendship of Zhang Zhidong. Of course, he also has a background, and his backstage is actually Ye Chengxin in Shanghai, an important member of the Ningbo Business Gang, so Xu Huafeng thought they were here for the shipyard's business.

"It's not a shipyard thing." Zhu Baosan said that he heard from the Prime Minister's Office that Yang Rui was in the Ministry of Industry, but he didn't expect to come and go.

"That's a shipping company thing?" Xu Huafeng said again. "This is in the hands of the Ministry of Transportation. It can't be a match factory, right, will you still be short of money? ”

"Mr. Zhu San, this is not for the shipping company." Zhu Baosan couldn't see Yang Rui, so he had to confess to Xu Huafeng, he took out a letter of 10,000 words from his arms, and then said: "In fact, it is for the money industry, there are many money banks in Shanghai, and the country is preliminary. When I came to Beijing this time, I was asked by the Shanghai Money Industry Office to bring a copy of the 10,000-word book, which I wanted to give to the Prime Minister. ”

is actually such a thing, Xu Huafeng doesn't quite understand the meaning of abolishing the two yuan, seeing that it is a book of ten thousand words, it is not easy to accept it. "Third Brother Bao, you can sit down first. I'll be back later, and you'll be seated too. There are times when I am busy with what I think, and I just ran away while talking. Xu Huafeng didn't understand the financial matters, but just chatted with the two of them about industrial matters, and waited for half an hour, after Yang Rui arranged the quality award and subsidized the quality control personnel, he came back.

Holding the 10,000-word book of Shanghai Qianye, Yang Rui was not angry or smiling, but only put the book aside: "Mr. Baosan, I remember that you don't seem to have opened a bank?" How can you also get involved in financial matters? ”

Zhu Baosan was stunned by Yang Rui's question, he didn't open a bank, but he was familiar with the person who opened the bank. In the past, the Tianzihao chlor-alkali factory was guaranteed by him to foreigners, so that it could be preserved. Some well-intentioned people in Shanghai remember this very well, and they wanted to slow down the abolition of the household department and the change of yuan. In the book of 10,000 words that Yang Rui did not read, he believed that the time had not yet come to abolish the two yuan reforms, and they believed that in order to abolish the two yuan reforms, one was to have enough new coins to mint, the second was that the yuan reform could not hinder the imperial court's tax revenue, and the third was that the yuan reform could not cause chaos in the money industry and fluctuations in the commodity trading market.

"Your Excellency, there are thousands of money banks in the country, and it is a thousand years to use silver taels, once the two are abolished and the yuan is changed, it will cause chaos in the market." Zhu Baosan felt that Yang Rui was a little displeased, but he had already agreed to the invitation of Xie Lunhui and others of the Qianye Office in Shanghai, and although Yu Huizu of the household department was from Ningbo, he was stubborn and not accommodating at all, so he had to ask Yang Rui to come here.

Thinking of the old incident of the chlor-alkali factory back then, Yang Rui said unhappily and angrily: "Mr. Bao San, the three of abolishing the two yuan, reducing rent and interest, and revitalizing the industry are national policies, and the national policy is unshakable!" As for the chaos in the market, when the Qing Dynasty was in the past, so many chaos came over, why can't the market be chaotic now? Let's talk about chaos. Even if the chaos is also caused by the gang of people in the Shanghai Money Industry Office, who else will not applaud except them? Adego. Tell me, is it beneficial for you to sell matches? ”

Yu Qiaqing just accompanied the Ningbo gang boss Zhu Baosan, Yang Rui He didn't have no contact, he knew that this person had a bad temper, and he wouldn't turn back if he didn't hit the south wall, he just wanted to keep silent at this time, but he didn't want to be pulled closer by Yang Rui to talk. His eyes cautiously glanced at Yang Rui. Yu Qiaqing said with a smile: "This abolition of the two yuan is a good thing for the industry, but this, can it be slowed down?" For example, the imperial court will prepare for a few more years and then change it. That's going to be foolproof. ”

Yu Qiaqing is very shrewd and generally agrees, and the time is postponed. But there is a timetable for the currency reform in Yang Rui's heart, and he smiled when he heard this: "Abolishing the two yuan is to put it in a hundred years." The gang at the Money Office will still oppose it. But the industry can't wait to abolish the two yuan. Ade, you have the support of the Shanghai bank, but even so, when the copper dollars, copper coins, and messy silver taels collected by your account office were taken to the money bank to exchange for huàn, they didn't overpower your Yangli, and they didn't cut you a few times? The value of the currency does not change, and the industry does not prosper. Those who open money banks should close their doors with peace of mind. ”

When Yang Rui said this, he suddenly thought of Yu Qiaqing's identity as a comprador of the Dutch Bank, and said: "Ade, now the financial industry is being rectified. For you, it is important to be an industry, or to be a comprador or a comprador. Always weigh it yourself. If you want me to say, your matches are sold in the country, and you believe that I am a person, and it has always been reasonable, and now it is the revitalization of industry, you stand with the government than with foreigners......"

Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing left heavily in Yang Rui's advice, Yu Qiaqing already knew that this matter could not be accommodated, and Zhu Baosan only hoped that Yang Rui could look at the chlor-alkali factory in the past, think of the old feelings, and didn't want him to even show embarrassment, so he stuck the matter directly, he had never seen such a ruthless and unrighteous prime minister.

Yang Rui sent the two away, and also sat back in Xu Huafeng's office, Xu Huafeng saw him pour him a glass of water and said: "It's done, it's not good?" ”

"There's nothing good or bad about it." Yang Rui said calmly, he flipped through the sorted out business plan, and asked, "What about the Wang Laoji herbal tea I saw just now?" ”

"Herbal tea?" Xu Huafeng had some differences, he took out the inconspicuous Wang Laoji herbal tea from the stack of business plans, handed it to Yang Rui and said, "Actually, this herbal tea...... Is it important? ”

"Of course Wang Laoji is important." Yang Rui couldn't explain the concept of Wang Laoji in later generations, and only said: "Have you heard of Coca-Cola?" ”

Xu Huafeng is an old man, and he only drinks tea when he goes to the United States, and he has never drunk this thing at all. Yang Rui had no choice but to say again: "Americans regard Coca-Cola as a symbol of the United States, so China will make a Wang Laoji." Yang Rui said this, Xu Huafeng still didn't understand, he had to say: "In the future, where there is a revival army, there will be Wang Laoji." ”

After a few days of tidying up, Shanghai Qianyichang Boiler Factory, Shanghai Meichang Machinery Factory, Baodi Da Pig Iron Plant Joint Venture, Shanghai China Chemical Industry Society, Jinan Quanqitai Iron Factory, Shanghai Zhou Zhou Caidao Machinery Factory, Wuxi Weixin Machinery Factory, Shanghai Shihengmao Machinery Factory, Hankou Tanhua Factory, Shanghai Yao Xingchang Factory, Wuchang Wushengchang Factory, Tianjin Iron Wire Nail Factory, Shanghai Yihe Iron Factory, Zhenjiang Paper Mill, Tianjin Xinxing Paper Mill, Shanghai Longzhang Paper Mill, Shanghai Lihua Machinery Factory, Shanghai Wanchang Factory, Yongjia Yumeng Machinery Factory, Hangzhou Huichang Machinery Factory, Nantong Zisheng Iron Factory, Shanghai Xieda Machinery Factory, Shanghai Hengmao Machinery Factory, Shanghai Qiaqia Yichang Copper and Iron Factory, Hanyang Hongshun Machinery Factory, Shanghai Dongxin Machinery Factory, Shanghai Dalong Machinery Factory, Shanghai Hochang Sand Turning Factory, Shanghai Gu Shun Ji Factory, Ningbo Shun Ji Factory, Shanghai Guangtai and Machinery Factory, Shanghai Senji Manufacturing Shipyard, Shanghai Zhang Yuanxiang Factory, Shanghai Junchang Factory, Shanghai Yixing Sand Turning Factory, Shanghai Shunchang Sand Turning Factory, A total of 30 machine factories, three paper mills, three sand turning plants, two tannery companies, one canning factory, and one herbal tea company received the first phase of industrial loans.

Silk reeling, soap, weaving, spinning, matches, oil extraction, tobacco, electric lights, flour, glass, bricks, tap water, and food were all placed in the latter period. As soon as this proposal came out, everyone in the industrial representatives was full of discussions, because there was actually a list before, that is, Shanghai Qiuxin Shipyard, Hankou Yangzi Factory, Xiamen Dockyard Company, and Guangzhou Guangnan Shipyard Company, these four private shipyards were actually approved by the Ministry of Industry. And allowed loans of millions of taels, and now look at the list of this issue is all machine factories, I just think that the government really wants to develop heavy industry. Of course, there are also people who are strange about the herbal tea shop. But when I inquired, I said that people were buying traditional Chinese medicine, and it was clear.

In fact, these are all projects that Yang Rui has seen, and he is not interested in those light industries at all, and he has only looked at the machine factory once in the past few days, and he can't wait to find a few more, but in fact there are so many. There is no way to think more, and the tanneries, canning factories, and Wanglaoji herbal tea in the back are all military.

The government's desire to revitalize industry was promised by Yang Rui on his first day in office. However, after the Ministry of Industry announced the amount of the first two installments of loans, there was another uproar in the newspapers. They are not arguing for those who have not received loans for the time being, but they feel that the loan amount is too large, and the loans of the four shipyards in the last period were close to 10 million taels. And the total loans obtained by the forty companies in this period are not less than 10 million taels. After thinking about it, there are more than seven factories that have not received loans. Everyone estimated that after the opening of this industrial conference, the loans issued would be more than 100 million taels.

Those who used to advocate industry to save the country, but did not set up factories, are now completely red-eyed, and others can get loans of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions, but they can't get a penny and have to pay taxes, so they can't even complain about injustice. It is believed that the current cabinet has handed over the people's ointment to businessmen of all sizes, and that the talents and learning of those industrial representatives are inferior to those of Yunyun. In short, the characteristics of not being able to see others being better than themselves appeared in a large area among the gentry after the announcement of industrial loans. Fortunately, the Ministry of Industry has sent out a draft of opinions before. Industrial representatives are also invited nationwide, and there are no omissions. This did not leave anything to chance. But even so, the urgent inquiry notice from the parliament was still sent to Xu Huafeng's table, because the department secretary is only responsible to the prime minister, and the parliament cannot impeach the department secretary can only impeach the cabinet, so Yang Rui also has a similar question notice on his desk.

In addition to the Renaissance Society, there are also Furen Cultural Society, the Kuomintang, and 30 members of the King James Congress. The members of the King James Decree were mainly experts in various professions, but also members of the Renaissance Society, representatives of the military, etc., who were generally bystanders and rarely spoke, and the most enthusiastic in the general questioning was the Kuomintang of Soong Jiao-jen, and then the members of the Furen Literary Society, who did not know that they and the Renaissance Society were originally the same.

In the last Mobil oil prospecting rights and Shaanxi oil mine case, Yang Rui has been urgently questioned once, that time he was prepared, about the Shaanxi oil mine mining department information out, the parliamentarians have nothing to say, but some people have complaints about the granting of such a large exploration right to Mobil, but the matter is still passed smoothly. And this time, because of the industrial loan was urgently questioned by the Congress, Yang Rui couldn't think about it, which had been explained in the previous government work report.

Reminding himself that he was facing shareholders, Yang Rui patiently listened to the speech of Kuomintang MP Liu Chengyu: "May I ask your Excellency, why do you want to build so many shipyards, according to the existing industry... Planning, we already have the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, the Nanjing Shipyard under construction, the Hankou Shipyard, the Tianjin Shipyard, the Mawei Shipyard, and now the Ministry of Industry has to take out loans to build four shipyards, that is, there are nine shipyards, and there are actually two shipyards in Shanghai and Hankou, and this is not counting the shipyards of various countries, and there are already ...... in Shanghai."

Liu Chengyu didn't seem to be familiar with the information, and the foreign-funded shipyards in Shanghai couldn't remember it for a while, which really made Yang Rui sweat for him. Just waiting for him to finish nagging, Yang Rui looked at the congressmen present and asked, "Do you have similar questions?" He said: "The existing nine shipyards can only produce 350,000 tons of ships a year at full capacity, and if they are in normal production, the annual output of merchant ships will be less than 100,000 tons, which is a drop in the bucket for the existing domestic demand for merchant ships." I don't think the legislators are asking for a shipyard, but about industrial loans. It's better for me not to admit myself, so let's explain the industrial loan first.

Everyone agrees with the revitalization of industry, because industry is the backbone of the country, after the abolition of agricultural tax in a few decades, industrial and commercial tax and personal income tax will be the main items of the national treasury, and now you all know that you want to regain the right to win, but how to take it? This can't be shouted on the lips, it's something that needs to be done in practice. Foreigners import goods, we sell raw materials, last year's deficit was 170 million taels, why, because the products are valuable, the raw materials are not valuable, so the industry must be supported.

But no matter how to support, it can't just be shouted, it is necessary to invest real money. Now the representatives of the whole country are in the capital, and if they can have today's achievements, it shows that they can have the ability to do a good job in industry. The Ministry of Industry cannot pull a cat or a dog over to give him a loan, and each representative will go through strict procedures before issuing a loan, and the loan is also monitored in the process of use, and the principal and interest must be repaid after maturity. Although there will be people who lose money, there are always profits and losses in the business, as long as the total loan is not lost. Today's questioning, as well as the newspapers outside, I think someone is red-eyed, right? ”

As soon as Yang Rui said this, there was a lot of laughter inside the Capitol, and Liu Chengyu, who was originally questioning, retreated embarrassedly. Yang Rui continued: "Industry always needs to be supported, and it is always necessary to support loans, is there any better way for you to do this?" (To be continued......)
