Mr. Zhang Si is also a person who has seen the world, and he was very calm after a while, but he still sighed: "Hanzhang, I still feel old when I see Jingcheng, and there are talented people in the country." ”

Yang Rui was busy saying that he didn't dare, the popular science just now had already let him know that this Mr. Zhang Si was very good, and he was very close to the upper echelons of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he had to deal with it carefully.

Although Mr. Zhang Si came out of the imperial court, but he was also a businessman's pragmatism, and after a while, he said the intention of this time: "Today, Huaiyan is tired, and the old man wants to focus on Huaiyan, this time because of the invitation of the Japanese side, I went over there to see the Quanye Expo, and at the same time I want to see how Japan makes salt." Some time ago, Xu Zhusan submitted a letter to set up a chemical factory, asking the imperial court to exempt the salt tax, and then the governor of Liangjiang, Lord Wei, approved, I inquired and knew that Hanzhang was planning, so I came here, I didn't expect to be able to get acquainted here, and I was very fortunate. Do you want to know the salt used in this chemical factory, and the geometry of the product? ”

As soon as Mr. Zhang Si said this, Yang Rui knew that the visit was bright, and it was dark to want to sell salt, this person was still very related in the officialdom, the submission of the factory's salt had just been approved, and the news arrived in his hands so quickly, and the relationship network was really powerful. At the moment, he said without concealment: "Mr. Zhang Si is in love." This chemical plant is actually an electrolysis plant, or chlor-alkali factory, which puts electricity into the brine, and the salt is broken down into two things, one is caustic soda, the other is hydrochloric acid, and of course there is some bleaching. powder, can also produce potassium chlorate, but we run this factory mainly to hydrochloric acid, so bleaching. The production of powder is as small as possible, and the same is true for potassium chlorate, and the output of these two will come up when the factory expands. Nowadays, according to the technical figures, 20 tons of refined salt are needed every day, 10 tons of caustic soda are produced every day, and more than 20 tons of hydrochloric acid are produced. ”

Seeing that he was not very familiar with the concept of tons, he added: "One ton is two thousand catties." ”

Mr. Zhang Si is familiar with caustic soda and hydrochloric acid, bleaching. I also seemed to hear that it seemed to be something used in the waterworks, but I was not familiar with potassium chlorate, so I asked, "What is this potassium chlorate and what is it used for?" ”

Yu Huizu also interjected beside him and said: "This potassium chlorate is used for foreign fire, and red phosphorus and potassium chlorate are indispensable in foreign fire. ”

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang Si twisted his beard and said for a long time: "You guys are digging roots!" ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Rui and Yu Huizu looked at each other and smiled, this entry into the upstream of the industrial chain was Yang Ruili's main construction, at that time everyone was still very hesitant, after all, it was a huge investment, but the repeated shortage of monosodium glutamate made everyone more confident, and the investment income was also very high. Later generations commented on Chinese businessmen, the good ones said that they were flexible and sensitive, and the bad ones said that they were immoral and unscrupulous, but they didn't know that this was actually forced out, not to mention the relationship in the system, only to say the internal situation of the industry, all of which were forced by light industry by heavy industry, and heavy industry was forced by foreigners in terms of resources and technology. Second, there are indeed cost-saving stunts, such as Galanz and BYD.

Mr. Zhang Si is really a wise man, the champion is not in vain, he knows his strategic direction when he sees this formation, he is really a smart person who doesn't need to talk nonsense, Yang Rui smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang Si is really wise, he knows our plan at a glance." ”

Mr. Zhang Si was very pleased, he was always happy to be guessed like a riddle, haha laughed, and said after laughing: "This is also a good solution to my Qing Dynasty business sluggishness, but this root is not so simple." What is the investment in this chlor-alkali plant? ”

Yang Rui replied: "This investment is very large, and it is also operated with debt, and the investment is more than one million yuan." "Yang Rui was afraid that the adults in the court would think about this, so he had to say that the bigger the investment, the better." This electrical equipment came from the German company Siemens, which cost more than 400,000 yuan, and the electrolyzer for chlor-alkali was purchased in the United States, and the United States did not want to sell it, so it was agreed when the price was increased to 500,000 yuan. ”

Yang Rui really opened his eyes and said nonsense, Yu Huizu was very restless on the side, it was difficult for him to accept deceiving such an adult of the court and the champion of the dynasty, but he also understood Yang Rui's approach, so he didn't dare to say anything and had to twist it. Yang Rui saw him squirming, and thought to himself, grandma's I am also for everyone, don't say more, the adults in the court don't think about you for anything. Besides, the motor was originally more than 400,000 yuan and nearly 500,000 yuan, but I directly asked Lute to help set it, saving the cost of intermediate dealers, and because Siemens will set up an office in Shanghai next year, there will be such a huge power plant in Shanghai is an excellent advertisement, which is a lot of discounts. This chlor-alkali equipment is also just put into production, the power is insufficient, the supply is insufficient, and the electrolyzer is sold to us, if the next time it is estimated that it will not be so cheap - Mr. Bieber is really not a businessman, everything is said outside, once the output is large in the future, the market conflict, who will sell you, to buy is to sell the most backward ones to you.

Mr. Zhang Si listened to Yang Rui's lie and believed it, he thought the price was reasonable, and he also thought that the price was worth it, he said: "Although the investment is large, it can be repaid in two or three years, why not?" Hydrochloric acid for your own use, this monosodium glutamate is in short supply, some time ago the father-in-law in Beijing spoke, this monosodium glutamate should be given priority to the palace, it can be seen that the amount of monosodium glutamate is comparable to Huai salt, once the hydrochloric acid is self-produced, it saves a lot. As for caustic soda, foreigners ask for a lot of money, papermaking, spinning, and pancreas are all used, and this intermediate amount is not small. What a strategy! ”

Yang Rui heard of the words of his father-in-law in Beijing for the first time, but Yu Huizu nodded, it seemed that it was true. Seeing Mr. Zhang Si's praise, he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, Mr. Zhang Si is in love." Yang Rui saw him like this, so he had no choice but to echo him.

Mr. Zhang Si's words were strong, and then said: "This was originally to go to Japan to see the Osaka Expo1, learn the Japanese version of the salt drying method, used in the two Huai, revitalize the salt industry, I heard that the factory here in Shanghai needs salt, specially to seek sales, now it seems that the old man is not thinking deeply, only in the depths of the work can revitalize the industry and commerce." ”

really met a bosom friend, no matter what his identity is, Yang Rui has deep respect for it, there are still many talents in this Qing Dynasty, but internal ties are not used at all. Yang Rui said sincerely: "The old gentleman is dedicated to the country, which is really an example for us, and we are also participating in the exhibition in Japan. The Japan Exposition is only a grand event in East Asia, and next year there will be a World Exposition in St. Louis City, USA, which will affect the world. ”

Mr. Zhang Si was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay! The old man must go. ”

The next crowd talked for a while, Mr. Zhang Si got up and said goodbye, Yang Rui asked Yu Huizu to find someone to report to Yu Zixun, this old gentleman still understands people, and the relationship in the Qing Dynasty is deep, and more importantly, he seeks the way for the country, running around with the old and weak, this dedication and sacrifice spirit is not worse than that of the revolutionaries, and the effect is not comparable to it, one is the body lì line to seek the prosperity of the country and the people, and the other is to destroy the country in the name of saving the country, this Manchu Qing Dynasty is to lose Hong Kong, lost the outer Xing'an Mountains, However, not to mention the loss of the northeast during the party-state era, Mongolia never returned, and the strategic depth of the north has been lost since then

After Yang Rui sent people off, he didn't know how to think of this, sighed, and left without greeting Yu Huizu. Yu Huizu is not surprised by this, he is always distracted, always inexplicably sad, this is well known to everyone, men will not be like women like to shave three likes to find the root of the matter, everyone's hearts are hidden.

Maybe it was Yang Rui's encouragement that had an effect, from this day on, Zhong Guanguan learned German more energetically, crossed the river at night to find Yang Rui to talk to German, saw that Yang Rui was busy, he went to find Leo, Leo had a good impression of him, plus life is too empty, Leo was fooled by him to 6 lines that night, teach him German every day, Leo is Germany. Graduated from the military academy, although the majors are different, but the language and some basic scientific knowledge are still there, which is very beneficial to him. Seeing that Leo, a big drunkard, could actually do serious things, Yang Rui was also relieved.

There is a class on Saturday morning, and the course of economics is about to be finished, Yang Rui is planning to start the exam next week, who knows that there is no one at school in the morning, and suddenly I remembered that it seems that the school club is not there, and I usually go to Zhang Yuan to give a lecture, since there is no one in the society, I have to go to Zhang Yuan to see.

Zhang Yuan has now become the base of the society, and he gives speeches here every week, since he talked about the Japanese reform last month, Yang Rui has not come, because now there are more and more people who want to give speeches on stage, and there are more and more audiences, and the scene that needs him to support when he plays cards in front of him is now that the scene is supported by him, and he is usually busy, and he is afraid that he will be hunted down by the Manchus if he accidentally says something anti-Qing speech, so he will deliberately alienate himself. Although Cai Yuanpei still repeated the old tune that he wanted to expand the society to educate more people, but the economic conditions of the society have not improved, there are more students, and more classrooms and more food are needed, but the cash box is empty, Yang Rui saw that the food in the school was getting worse and worse several times, there was basically no meat, and the oil flowers were basically gone, so he knew what was going on, he didn't look for Cai Yuanpei, but just found Wang Yunzong, who was in charge of internal affairs.

After the two discussed, the society no longer bought grain and oil, both of which were sent by the monosodium glutamate factory, after the wheat was separated from the gluten, the remaining starch was generally sold to the textile factory, these things were actually used as staple food, and the society was short of funds, so it was just right to take these as staple foods, and I was afraid that only starch did not have gluten to cause malnutrition, starch was only sent for three days, and the rest of the days were rice. Of course, Yang Rui paid for it himself, the starch was sold to the textile factory at the price, and the rice was bought by Zhong Guanguan outside, and the school now has more than 300 students, including the girls' school and classrooms and some friends who often come to it, there are 500, and the rice alone costs more than 400 yuan per month, and the oil and salt vegetables are counted separately.

Yang Rui is still very rich now, even if the last time because of the expansion of the monosodium glutamate factory, the capital increased by 10,000 yuan, but the previous printing house of 3,000 unpaid, the Japanese side of 30,000, and the book of American gold and silver after that, also sold for 1,000 yuan and 5,000 yen, and the balance is about 28,000 yuan. China has always had a tradition of eating big households, if you can't eat it, you will say that you are rich and unkind, although the source of your money is completely legitimate, but once you scold, what is the legitimacy in the mouth of the literati, Wang Yunzong thought that he was a living Lei Feng in the late Qing Dynasty did good deeds without leaving a name, and he was a slap to the ground, which was really ashamed of him.

When Yang Rui came, the speech had already begun, there were a lot of people in the hall, Yang Rui had to sit in the back later, a young man on the podium was waving and shouting, after this person finished speaking, the next person to go up was also a young man, Yang Rui probably heard what it meant. Zhang Yuan's speech this time is to refuse the law, the year before last Guangxi governor Wang Zhichun arrived, because the Gengzi indemnity aggravated the scraping, plus Guangxi since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a tradition of rebellion, so the following reversed, these rebels often haunt the border, difficult to exterminate, Wang Zhichun is ready to negotiate with the French governor of Annam, invite the entry to exterminate, and at the same time in order to reward the French, the plan to hand over the mines in Guangxi to France as a reward, this news spread the whole country in an uproar, so the students of the society went to Zhang Yuan to give a speech.

Hearing what was going on, Yang Rui didn't want to listen to it anymore, this is the same as watching some news in later generations, at first he was angry after reading it, then calm, and then he ran away. In this era, Yang Rui only thinks that he is a bystander, and without harming his own life and property, he is willing to make some contributions to the revolution he recognizes, but it is absolutely impossible for him to pay a great price for the revolution, and he can completely ignore what kind of world it has become outside with the safe haven of the concession.

1 Zhang Jian originally went to Japan on May 27 and returned to China on July 29, but he returned to China one month early and early.
