Beiyang reactionaries

When Jiuda Refined Salt Company was established, the capital was only [-] silver dollars.Although there has been some development in the past two years, the profit for one year is only so much, and it is apportioned [-].Too bully.

"How can you know?"

Fan Xudong was not angry at all, and spoke very calmly.Jiuda Refined Salt Company was able to survive being squeezed out by so many salt merchants. Apart from the fact that their company’s technology is indeed good and China’s demand for refined salt is still high, it also has something to do with the shareholders behind Jiuda Refined Salt Company.

Although the shareholders of Jiuda Refined Salt Company are not very powerful, they are also invested by wealthy and powerful people in Tianjin.Ru Jing Benbai is a very wealthy man in Tianjin and a well-known figure in the Chinese salt industry.And Yang Du is also one of the shareholders.

But that's all.

In the face of the Beiyang warlords with guns and cannons, these shareholders are nothing.Usually there are some small things, they can come forward to solve them, and the senior officials of the Beiyang Army will give them a little noodle.But when it comes to their interests, especially when it comes to money, they have nothing to do.

"The war is about to start. Didn't you read the recent newspapers? These generals of the Beiyang Army were all murderous, forcing the President (Feng Guozhang) to announce a battle order. The President has not agreed so far, and these generals began to withhold tax revenue privately, and began The idea of ​​us small businessmen. At this moment, even the president can't control them, what can we do?"

Only then did Fan Xudong smile wryly.

It has been common for these warlords to apportion expenses before wars since ancient times.But those big companies, the really rich big businessmen are all famous, and even those warlords have shares there.Therefore, the ones they robbed were all like Fan Xudong, who were not big companies, but also not small traders. They had money in their hands but no backers.If you are asked to pay, do you still dare not pay?

Some bad-tempered warlords just send troops to grab money, so you can't give them.And even if they didn't use military methods, Fan Xudong didn't dare to provoke them.

why?

Because these warlords are big figures who control the local area, if they are angry, they will directly ban the sale of your refined salt in the local area, and you will have no time to cry.Therefore, as long as it is not too much, what should be given is still given.

But [-] is really too high.

Fan Xudong's company is quite famous, but to be honest, it is still a small company.Compared with those real rich salt merchants, the money in their hands is pitifully small.

"damn it."

Li Zhuchen could only swear and swear for fun.

"But this is not the way. We do this every year, what shall we do in the future?"

"Yes."

Fan Xudong nodded.

He said to Li Zhuchen very seriously: "Zhuchen, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I have already made preparations. I am going to move the company to Sichuan, and the soda manufacturing company that will be established soon is also going to open in Chongqing."

"Really decided?"

Li Zhuchen knew about Fan Xudong's previous investigation in Sichuan.After returning, Fan Xudong said what he meant in this regard, so Li Zhuchen knew.It's just that I haven't been able to make up my mind before.

Sichuan has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages.

How to say Sichuan is an inland province and a southwestern province, which is incomparable with Tianjin and coastal areas.So it has not been decided yet.

"Decided."

Fan Xudong said firmly: "You also know how difficult our company has been since it was established. Now the annual sales volume is only [-] dan, only [-] dan. Although the profit is not low, the sales volume is too small. Not only Just like this, each of these people is really too much, and they always go too far against us. After Zhang Xun was restored, when Duan Hefei formed the anti-rebel army, we had already given a sum of money to the anti-rebel army. But now We need money, but we don’t have that much money. Moreover, no one supports us when we set up a soda-making company. It is so difficult to raise funds, and even the approval has not yet been issued. If this continues, when will we be able to realize the dream of saving the country through industry.”

"Sichuan is different. Although Sichuan is an inland province, there are many disadvantages, but there are also many advantages. Sichuan is rich in salt, and there is also the support of Duan Xun, the governor of Sichuan. I don't know Duan Xun, a general from the army. What exactly is he thinking? But I know he will support us. With the support of a warlord like Duan Xun, our company’s development will definitely reach a new level easily. And with his support, our soda factory, regardless of whether it is financial or In other respects, there will be no problems. Although we don’t want to admit it, there is no official support in China at the moment, and many things are very difficult to do. If we now have the support of Duan Xun, how can Zhang Huaizhi’s people trouble us. Therefore I've decided, I'm going to move to Sichuan."

Li Zhuchen nodded.

Some things are bad and don't want to admit it.But this is the reality in China.In China at present, it is very difficult for a company without an official background to survive.Anyone who wants to grow big, without the support of these warlords, would have been eaten up long ago.

"Although I have never met Duan Xun, from your introduction, this person still has some ideas. Although the transportation in Sichuan is not very good, the geographical location is far inferior to Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu and other coastal provinces. But as long as there is no such exploitation, I believe we can develop."

Li Zhuchen also agreed with Fan Xudong's idea.

If everyone competes, Fan Xudong's Jiuda Refined Salt Company is absolutely not afraid of those big salt merchants.Because the technology is better than them, the salt is far better than those salt merchants, and the price is also cheaper.

But why not?

It is because of the suppression by warlords everywhere.

"That's it."

"Then what about our company in Tianjin?"

"I have already found a buyer. Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to waste time. Candle dust, I hope you can help me make a stop to see where the factory should be built. Also represent me and have a good talk with the government over there. I am in Take care of the rest of the matter here, and rush over immediately.”

"Row."

Li Zhuchen nodded.

Li Zhuchen is a technician, and he knows where to build a factory better than anyone else.As Fan Xudong's right-hand man, Fan Xudong trusted Li Zhuchen the most, because Li Zhuchen was also very capable of management.That's why Li Zhuchen was sent to represent him.

"Have you talked with Tiaofu (Chen Tiaofu)?"

Chen Tiaofu, Wu Cibo, and Wang Xiaoxu are all the key personnel who are the backbone of Fan Xudong's establishment of the soda factory, and they are all rare chemical talents in China.Now they are all gathered in Fan Xudong's company.

"Talk."

"Do they agree?"

"Of course. The few of us are not going well with fundraising, buying some machine materials from abroad is not going well, and we don't know when our soda factory will be established. But with the support of Duan Xun, the governor of Sichuan, these things will be handled easily. It will be much simpler. Our common goal is to save the country through industry, and we want to create a chemical industry for China. Now Sichuan is more suitable for our development. Of course they all agree."

"That's good."

Li Zhuchen let out a long breath of relief.

The chemical industry cannot be completed by one or two people.It needs to gather a lot of talents in the chemical industry to complete it.After all, China's chemical industry is almost zero now.

These people are rare chemical talents in China. If they do not agree to go to Sichuan, it will definitely be a huge loss to Fan Xudong's soda factory.Now that they are willing to enter Sichuan, Fan Xudong's soda factory will have a chance to be established.

"Then I'll prepare now."

"it is good."

"But if I go there, who should I go to?"

"Chongqing Municipal Government."

"I see."

144 investment promotion

"That is to say, there are many people investing in Chongqing during this period of time?"

"Yes."

"Where are they investing?"

"Every field. Here's a list of their investments."

The war to protect the law is not happy.
