Chapter 147: White Moonlight? Sour rice! 15
The letter full of Cao Zixi's hope was sent to Ye's house, but she and the recipient missed it perfectly. The cruise that Wang Qingqing was on at the moment was almost arriving in Japan.
To make cloth, Dashengchang must first have good cotton yarn, but now Dashengchang only makes silk yarn, and cotton yarn is a huge gap.
Wang Qingqing is ambitious, she is determined to build Dashengchang into one of the best cotton spinning mills in China, since the quality of cotton produced by Dashengchang must pass the test.
There are three biggest disadvantages of domestic cotton cloth compared with foreign cloth.
The cotton yarn and weaving of foreign cloth are all completed by industrialized machines, and the finest can weave a fine cloth with 46 yarns in warp and weft.
level that is far from attainable.
In other words, it's not a star and a half.
Three widths, limited by the loom, the width of domestic cotton is generally maintained at about one foot, and the narrow width means that more processes are required when sewing clothes in the later stage, and Foreign cloth can reach a width of two feet six or seven. With such a big gap in front of us, it is self-evident which one consumers will choose.
Because of these three major shortcomings, domestic cotton cloth has no resistance to Shanghai foreign cloth, and the attacked cloth has no living space at all, and foreign cloth jumped up to replace opium, occupying 1% of the total domestic import. More than half.
Wang Qingqing wants this huge market, so he has to make high-quality cotton cloth. Whether the cotton cloth is good or not depends on the quality of the cotton yarn. so important.
Wang Qingqing naturally does not want to be controlled by others in such an important part.
Currently the best cotton yarn on the market is Japan, so a trip to Japan is inevitable.
On the cruise to Japan, Wang Qingqing is standing on the deck watching the sea.
The tyrants of the countries opened the gates of the ancient empire with their strong ships and cannons, and their eyes were full of gold and silver. They desperately dumped opium and foreign cloth to this ancient country in exchange for gold, silver and Beautiful silk.
There are more and more cross-border trade, and more and more foreign banks are established by foreign capital in various ports. There is everything in financial loans, as long as you can afford real money, they can serve you wholeheartedly.
Therefore, in addition to a few bodyguards she hired in China, there was Norio Yamada, the manager of Matsuura Yangxing, who accompanied Wang Qingqing to Japan.
In addition, Tongruifeng, which has the largest proportion of investment, sent a general manager, and Dadetong sent a young master to accompany Wang Qingqing to Japan.
These investors were all found by Wang Qingqing after a lot of hard work.
First of all, a huge weaving factory was fully prepared, and then a large amount of money was purchased for weapons and fire. The cash on the Ye family's books was spent almost nothing, so Mr. Ye even sold it. A few farmland shops.
On this basis, Wang Qingqing also wanted to prepare a new spinning factory, but the Ye family's strength was obviously a little stretched, so Wang Qingqing made a plan carefully, with the German who he hired heavily The Jewish master took the sample and asked to see Mr. Zhang, the governor of Northern Zhili.
Governor Zhang is a patriotic person with a somewhat enterprising intention. Since he took office, he has devoted himself to resisting the economic invasion of foreigners.
A single British family of foreign fabrics can take away more than 30 million taels of silver in a year, and it is not only the UK that dumps foreign fabrics into the country?
The country is weak, and it has to be exploited by foreigners. Master Zhang is heartbroken every time he thinks of it, so he spent a lot of effort and cooperated with wealthy businessmen from all walks of life to jointly prepare the Shanghai machine weaving layout of the government-supervised business office.
It's just that the adult's luck was too bad, and the machine weaving layout that took great effort to prepare accidentally caused a fire due to inadequate fire protection measures.
When the fire broke out, the Governor asked the concessions several times to send their fire dragons to put out the fire. Thousands of taels of silver were put into flames, and I was so distressed that I almost didn't have a heart attack.
After the fire, the Governor did not give up. He raised another million taels of silver to rebuild the weave layout.
The equipment for weaving and layout is imported from the United Kingdom. The quality of the product can be comparable to that of foreign cloth. Unfortunately, there is a lack of chemical printing and dyeing methods. The weaving layout can only produce some white cotton cloth, and it is difficult to survive in the cracks of foreign cloth. That's it.
Governor Zhang, who wanted to fight with foreigners in the arena, lost twice, and the anger in his heart can be imagined. When he saw the cloth sample presented by Wang Qingqing, his eyes involuntarily widened: "This is Is it the cloth dyed by Da Shengchang?"
"That's right." Ye Qingqing nodded slightly: "I would like to share this method of vulcanization and the production of danshiline dye with the layout of Shanghai Textile."
Governor Zhang stood up from his chair after hearing the "huh": "Is this true?"
No wonder Governor Zhang is excited, the advanced printing and dyeing technology presented by Wang Qingqing can just make up for the shortcomings of machine weaving layout.
"This printing and dyeing method must be hard to come by, what do you want?" Governor Zhang looked at the Jewish master brought by Wang Qingqing, stroked his beard and asked Wang Qingqing with some hesitation.
Businessmen are all unprofitable and can’t afford to be early. Da Shengchang offered such a precious recipe, and Governor Zhang was really worried that this girl and Dong would speak out.
"Sir, please take a look." Wang Qingqing presented her elaborate plan.
"Good! Very good!" After reading Wang Qingqing's plan, the Governor-General, who was determined to forge ahead with the anti-foreign faction, was flushed with excitement, he stood up and walked back and forth hurriedly: "Yes, That's right, if the plan really goes ahead, why don't we have a good cloth weave? It won't take five years, but only three years later, we will be able to run on half of the domestic foreign cloth sales!"
Wang Qingqing's plan is to unite domestic capital, import Western machines, transport them back to China, and then improve them to make fabrics with their own characteristics, which will be preempted by low-cost dumping after large-scale production Cloth Market.
"North Zhili is suitable for cotton cultivation. As long as half of the major landowners are willing to plant cotton, they can be used for the production of Dashengchang. The price will be much lower than that of foreign cloth from across the ocean." Wang Qingqing smiled slightly: "As long as the quality is checked, there are cheap ones, who will buy expensive ones?"
"Exactly!" Governor Zhang nodded in agreement, Wang Qingqing's plan really hit his itch.
Looking at it, Wang Qingqing's plan to succeed is more than 1 in 10,000? Just seventy to eighty percent.
The irritated governor sat on the chair of the master and turned over the plan in his hand again. After reading it, he slapped the armrest of the chair and said to Wang Qingqing: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of everyone, Ye Shaodong It is really touching to act as a woman against foreign countries and patriotism, and the Governor will definitely support this plan to the end, and completely drive the foreign cloth out of our country!"
The Governor, who was determined to support Ye Qingqing, unequivocally issued a decree in Beizhili that cotton cultivation could reduce the tax on farmland and mu, and also interviewed several well-capitalized companies in the Governor's Office. .
As soon as Wang Qingqing's plan was put out, the owners of various ticket numbers in the shopping mall can understand the meaning contained in it. will lose money.
As long as they don't lose money, the owners of each ticket number are very happy to give face to the Governor, so everyone has actively contributed, and a large amount of funds have been prepared properly, so that Wang Qingqing's trip to Japan has been made.
"Ms. Ye, you are really the most wise Chinese woman I have ever met." Yamada Norio, speaking fluent Chinese, looked fascinatedly at his wide-brimmed hat with one hand, and held it with the other. Ye Qingqing watching the sea view from the railing.
"Thank you, Mr. Yamada, for your generous praise. Ye is ashamed to be worthy." Magnificent beauty, such a beautiful scenery makes people feel relaxed and happy, and she does not want to pay attention to the annoying flies next to her.
Norio Yamada didn’t wink at all, Ye Qingqing’s beautiful appearance made people forget the world, and she went to Japan this time for such a huge amount of business. For this transaction, you can get a huge commission by yourself.
Thinking of this, Rao is Yamada Norio, not a hungry ghost, and he can't help but covet the eyes of this prosperous girl.
"Miss Ye, please don't belittle yourself, I praise you very seriously!"
Yamada Norio reached out and grabbed the guardrail, squinting his small eyes that were blown dry by the sea breeze and praised Ye Qingqing warmly: "The machine weaving factory that Dashengchang is preparing is huge, Miss Ye The spinning mills that are being prepared are not far behind, and once these two factories are put into operation, it will definitely change the pattern of international cotton exports."
"I think Mr. Yamada is right." Qiao Wenyuan, the young owner of the Dade Pass, lifted the hem of his long gown, which was rattled by the sea breeze, and tucked it into his belt. Nodding to echo Yamada Norio's words: "Miss Ye is indeed more capable than men, and I have only met Miss Ye who asked my father to pay such a large sum of money just based on a plan. That's it."
"Where, where, the young master is joking." Wang Qingqing said with a haha, very modestly: "Ye can win this investment from Dadetong, but it is only because Qiao's old master is looking at Beizhi. It's just to take care of Ye Mou in the face of Mr. Zhang, the governor."
"Master Zhang really has a face." Qiao Wenyuan tucked his clothes and smiled at Wang Qingqing: "This plan can not only impress my father, but also the Governor Zhang, it not only shows that Miss Ye is talented Outstanding?"
"You two respect me so much, I'm really ashamed to call Ye Mou." Wang Qingqing looked at the two people who kept touting her, and smiled: "You can't shirk from left or right, it's better, I'll accept it. ?"
"Hahaha, that's how it should be!" Qiao Wenyuan was so amused that he patted the railing haha haha happily: "Miss Ye, you're welcome, I'm sincere in this flattery, so please accept it!"
As you speak, a horizon gradually emerges at the junction of sea and sky, and Japan is at hand!
