Chapter 78 Li Wan 2

And Wang Yingkai, Wu Changchun, Jiang Guiti, Zhao Dongyun and others represent the factions of local forces. They can't recruit students on a large scale like Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang to expand their influence, but they are all real power factions who control the army. Maybe they can't affect the Beiyang as a whole, but However, they can completely control their own troops and use the controlled troops as the foundation to gradually expand their influence. The most successful thing in this regard is Wang Yingkai. Why can he directly fight against Duan Qirui? It depends on the first town under him.

As for Zhao Dongyun, he is still in his infancy. Although the third mixed association in his hand also listens to him, there is still a long way to complete control, let alone gradually affect the whole Beiyang New Army with the third mixed association as the foundation.

From all aspects, Zhao Dongyun has been regarded as one of the first echelon in Beiyang. Although the ranking is very lower, it is also very different from the previous second echelon.

For such a person, others may not care or realize the importance of Zhao Dongyun, but for a capitalist who has been active in foreign affairs for a long time, Li Jian pays close attention to the Beiyang system and knows very clearly that Zhao Dongyun is not a simple general.

In addition to Zhao Dongyun's political influence, the industrial and commercial forces controlled by Zhao Dongyun have also attracted Li Yujian's attention. Needless to say, Fuyuan Machinery Factory, when did you see commercial enterprises control a national arsenal and provide military weapons for the army in the Qing Dynasty?

And the Fuyuan Yarn Factory and the planned Fuyuan Weaving Factory may be of little importance to others, but it is very important to the Li family.

Because this Fuyuan Weaving Factory was established because the sales of Japanese foreign cloth in Northeast China have been greatly reduced. This Fuyuan Weaving Factory is completely for the Northeast market. If it can *, it can not only recover the loss of foreign cloth sales, but also expand the domestic cloth market on a large scale.

This is extremely important for the Li family's cloth business.

It was because he knew these importance that Li Jian deliberately brought Zhao Dongyun and even sent part of his manor out to let Zhao Dongyun stay. However, what he did not expect was that a banquet would break all his previous efforts.

Not to mention wooing Zhao Dongyun, he was even rejected when he went to see Zhao Dongyun, which greatly increased Li Yujian's sense of crisis. On the one hand, he was worried about his own cloth business, and on the other hand, he was afraid of angering Zhao Dongyun and taking any measures against his own family.

At this point, Lierjian's businessman mentality still makes him too cautious, or think too much!

Li Yujian saw that Zhao Dongyun refused to see him and thought that Zhao Dongyun was angry with the Li family, but what he didn't know was that Zhao Dongyun didn't care about the Li family at all.

I don't see Li Jian. That's because Zhao Dongyun is just busy today. In the morning, he has to review this month's salary matters, and then inspect the live-fire drill of the third battalion of the artillery team, but there is little time for a businessman to brush his mind.

Li Yujian thought Zhao Dongyun was angry, so he didn't see him, but in fact, Zhao Dongyun just didn't bother to see him.

Li Yujian didn't know that he was not as important as he thought, and he didn't even have the qualification to make Zhao Dongyun angry, that's all!

In many cases, the thoughts of the superior are different from those of the subordinate, even in the face of the same thing.

"Father doesn't have to worry too much. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go directly to see him now, but these days, Zhao Dongping, the head of the Ordnance Section, and I have also drunk several times. I'll go there to find out what's going on!" Although Li Ziquan looks fat and looks like a wine bag, as the eldest son of the Li family and has taken over most of the business, he doesn't want to look so useless. On the contrary, he is already a key person in the Li family's business. The Li family can quickly enter foreign business, which has a lot to do with him.

Li Yijian was still very relieved about this eldest son and nodded: "Well, although Zhao Dongping is only a section chief, he is Zhao Dongyun's direct cousin. Don't neglect him. The money he should be spent will be spent!"

Li Ziquan said, "I know. In addition, the telegram from Fengtian just now said that the stock of foreign cloth is less than 30% in the past. I'm afraid that there will be no cloth available in a few days. Not only Fengtian, but also less than half of our foreign cloth inventory in Yingkou and other places. We have to find new sources quickly!"

Li Ziquan said while wincing at her mother. The mother and son were connected. Li Jiang's own son used the excuse of discussing business to put down the old man's fire to get himself out, and immediately retreated quietly.

Li Jian inside was unaware of her retreat. At this time, he had already frowned: "Didn't you just arrive at a batch of oriental cloth five days ago? Why did it sell so fast?"

Li Ziquan said, "The Dongyang cloth was stopped by the Russians with excuses at Yingkou. Did your father forget it?"

Li Erjian smiled awkwardly: "This memory, but the Russian is really doing well in the way of doing business!"

"Today's plan is to find the source of goods as soon as possible, and I'm afraid that Dongyang cloth will not work. Russians are now furious when they see Dongyang people. It is estimated that this cloth will be stopped by the Russians with various excuses as soon as they enter the three eastern provinces. The high price of Westerners is not suitable for the low-quality and high-quality signs we have established in the past. The only way to do this is to find high-quality domestic cloth as soon as possible!" Li Ziquan said so.

Li Yujian said, "Then send a report to the shopkeepers in Tianjin and Shanghai to find the right source of goods, and you can't wait for them to send people directly to Nantong to see how the soil there is!"

"Alas, if you can eat part of the hundreds of looms of Fuyuan, you can also solve the urgent need!" Li Ziquan sighed a little.

"In the past, it was difficult when everything was okay. The output of their hundreds of looms in Fuyuan was not enough. It will be even for us. Besides, even if it is really given to us, it is useless. What we want is not just dozens of looms. If we really want to solve this problem, we still have to invest in their newly established weaving factory and take the opportunity to get involved in the weaving industry. In the future, we will build our own weaving factory, so that we will not be subject to others!" Li Yijian also speaks with an extremely huge ambition.

The textile market in contemporary China is very large, otherwise it will not replace * as the main dumped goods of the great powers to China. In addition to the field, Li family's business is mainly engaged in import and export business, mainly to purchase soybean oil, bean cakes and other Northeast local products, and then sell them to foreign banks in various countries. Then import a large number of foreign goods from Yanghang, such as lamp oil, foreign cloth and even matches, soap, etc., which are sold to various places through the Li family's warehouses in the three eastern provinces.

In this series of businesses, the sale of foreign cloth is the first priority, not to mention accounting for 100%, but there is still 30% or 40% of the share. Because the Li family previously sold mainly oriental cloth, and with the tense relations between Japan and Russia, Russia used its forces in the northeast to exclude and prevent Japanese commodities from entering the northeast market on a large scale. It also indirectly affected the sales of foreign cloth of the Li family.

Of course, the most important thing in the Li family's foreign cloth business is their sales network. As for whether they sell foreign cloth or domestic mechanism cloth, they seek the supply source of domestic mechanism cloth.

It's just that the supply of cloth they demand is too large, and ordinary small weaving factories can't meet their needs at all. At the same time, they also demand the price of cloth because they mainly focus on the middle and lower class market. Otherwise, they will not choose Japanese cloth, not because the quality of Japanese cloth is better. , but because it is cheaper.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Li family to seek a supply outside of Japanese oriental cloth, otherwise the Li family would not have rushed the ducks to the shelves and tried to directly intervene in the weaving industry.

When Li Jian and Li Ziquan and his son discussed business, Li Jiang also took this opportunity to leave. Li Jiang was scolded by Li Jian for no reason. When she was in a bad mood, she scolded Li Jian as a bastard, and quickly walked into Li Wan's embroidery building.

Although she thought her husband Li Jian's words were a little smelly, she was telling the truth. Li Wan was really spoiled. This kind of nature was fine at home. If the family didn't know what would happen!

Li Jiang, who was worried about her daughter, walked into her daughter's room and saw that Li Wan was still reading a book, but as soon as she saw Li Jiang's come in, she immediately threw away the book and stood up: "Mother, tell your father that you will be bored if you stay here all day!"

Li Jiang didn't look at her. While crossing Li Wan's back, he said, "I can't control your father. If he wants to ban you, you can stay well, otherwise it will make him angry again, but it's not as simple as banning!"

After saying this, she picked up a book from the table, but the cover of the book was not Chinese text, but the English TheScarletLetter printed. Li Jiang looked at it and frowned: "Why do you read these foreigner's books? I know you like these, but you should also stop. Read more female commandments, Internal training is always good for you. Don't look at these all day long!"

Listening to her mother's words, Li Wan didn't care: "All the books are read, and they are not all the same!"

Can this require women's three virtues, internal discipline and TheScarletLetter with strong feminism?

Li Wan said that she had taken out the book from her mother's hand, put it down and took her mother's hand: "Dad, is he still angry?"

It's okay if she didn't say anything. As soon as Li Jiang heard this, he said with an effort on his face: "I just went to the front south courtyard to see someone, but I didn't see him and fell down!"

As a mother, it is hard for her to say that Li Yijian still lost his temper on her, but blamed Zhao Dongyun.

Li Wan pouted again after hearing this: "Well, that man is still so arrogant in our place!"

Li Jiangshi doesn't know how to explain it. Is it possible to say that the Li family invited Zhao Dongyun because they had something to ask him?

After Li Jiang left, Li Wan picked up the book and wanted to continue reading, but the words that used to look full of flexible now look extremely boring, as if the annoying Qi Lingworth in the book had turned into Zhao Dongyun's face. She closed the book and jumped out of bed, and then went downstairs to go out. The little maid behind her, who was two years younger than her, trotted and said, "Miss, miss, go there!"

Li Wan held a long skirt and carefully poked her head out to look left and right. She saw the two old women who were taking care of her squatting at the gate of the courtyard and chatting while eating melon seeds. She shrank back and said, "No, let's sneak out!"

The little maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old and did not grow up. She was not worldly and followed behind the young lady's buttocks all day. At this time, she did not directly object, but said, "But, miss, you have been banned by the master!"

Li Wan said, "I know, that's why we have to sneak out!"

The little maid could only say 'oh', and then she couldn't object.

Li Wan saw that the two old women outside did not look inside, but walked out gently with her toes. Like a light and fast butterfly, she had silently crossed the corridor several meters, leaned her back against the pillar and waved to the little maid behind her, signaling her to follow up quickly.

The little maid slipped to the pillar with fear. She whispered nervously, "Miss, are we going there?"

Li Wan bit her red lips: "Go to the South Courtyard!"
