Chapter 167 What a terrible future!
The business career of the Rong brothers can be called a legend. He was born in Qianzhuang and made a career in a flour factory. Later, he entered the textile industry and opened a yarn factory. Since 1915, he has opened a new textile factory to a new textile factory to a nine factory in Shanghai, Wuxi and Hankou. For a time, no one in the country can match. At the most beautiful time, in 1931, the Rongzong Jingrong Desheng brothers owned a total of nine yarn factories and twelve flour factories, known as the "flour king" and the "cotton yarn king".
Even the Japanese primary school textbooks mentioned that there was a big industrialist in China, Rong Zongjing, which showed his fame for a while. It is said that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Rong Zongjing did not want to work under the Japanese and went to Hong Kong. He died of pneumonia in 1938. In March, his body was transported back to Shanghai. The Japanese at the dock did not agree with his coffin. When Mu entered Shanghai, someone else explained that it was Rong Zongjing. The Japanese immediately raised the flag and gave it with the highest standard gift. Rong Zongjing's reputation can be seen!
The Rong brothers have a very different personality. Rong Zong is bold and innovative. Rong's enterprise can grow like a snowball, and he is the first to take advantage. Rong Desheng is simple and calm. At the critical moment, he can step on the brakes. The two brothers are tacit cooperation and relax one by one. It is thanks to the combination of the two brothers that Rong's enterprise can develop and grow rapidly and steadily.
In the study of Rong's mansion, Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng are still together, standing in front of the desk, carefully studying various data and reports. Rong Zongjing frowned, and the nameless liver fire tossed in his heart. He knew the problem, but he couldn't find a way to solve it. He was really a coward.
Rong Desheng handed over a cup of hot tea and whispered, "The guys below have also tried their best. Now that the situation is the situation is like this. The enterprises in Shanghai have stopped working. Big brother, don't worry. Anyway, even if we resume production immediately now, our existing raw material inventory is guaranteed for a month's production."
Rong Zongjing rubbed his eyes and said, "The current situation is extremely urgent. Cotton is more expensive than yarn!" It's ridiculous!!! The more we produce, the more we will lose. What's wrong with this market?
"In fact, our industry is an industry that depends on the weather. Since the year before last, the cotton-producing areas in the north began to have a severe drought every year, and the output has been reduced, but no one expected it to be so serious!" Rongde Shengdao.
"More than that, the hoarding of speculators, foreign foreigners keep dumping the finished cotton yarn to China and suppress the price. This is the key. It's really a domestic and external problem!" Rong Zongjing sighed, lit a cigarette casually, took a sip, and spit it out fiercely, as if to spit out all the boredom in his heart.
"God knows when this situation will end. It seems that we were too limited before. It's time to strengthen the procurement channels of raw materials, especially foreign channels!"
"Second brother, it's reasonable! Only by grasping both domestically and abroad can we deal with this complex and sinister market, but this can't be achieved overnight. How to get through the current crisis is the most critical!" The two brothers sat on the sofa, smoking, drinking tea, and speechless.
"Bum, bang, bang" came bursts of knocks on the door, "Sir, Luo Wancai, the supervisor of the fourth factory, has something urgent to see!" The two brothers looked at each other, but their surprised eyes were full of joy. Luo Wan just got cotton?
"Please!" Rong Zongjing quickly got up and said. Luo Wan just came over quickly, with an excited face. When he saw the owner, he shouted, "The owner, good news! Cotton, a large amount of cotton!"
"sit down, Wancai, don't worry, take a sip of water and speak slowly." Rong Desheng handed Luo Wancai a cup of clear water.
"Yes, owner." Luo Wancai took a sip of water and eased his mood and said, "Dang, good news, our raw material problem has been solved!"
"Oh, what's going on? Tell me about it in detail."
"Yes, boss, after coming home from work today, I received a call from my brother-in-law who was injured, so I hurried to the hospital. As a result, I not only learned from my brother-in-law that someone was secretly dealing with you, but also unexpectedly learned from the man who rescued my brother-in-law that he had a way to get cotton!"
Rong Zongjing was shocked and said, "Someone is dealing with us secretly?"
Luo Wancai told the boss what happened to his brother-in-law. The Rong brothers were all sweating coldly. It turned out that there was such a reason behind the tension of raw materials. They thought it was just the environment.
Rong Desheng said calmly, "Let's not mention these. You just said that someone can provide a large amount of cotton. Is this true?"
Luo Wancai did not dare to neglect. As an old man in the yarn factory, he naturally knew what the boss was most worried about. He talked about the conversation with Chen Jiaju one by one. He knew that at this time, he had done his duty, and the rest was the boss's choice.
After Luo Wan finished speaking, he sat quietly. Rong Zongjing also calmed down and paced in the study, walking back and forth, thinking. Rong Desheng's eyes are closed, and he reads words in his mouth. This is his old habit. He has always been like this when thinking about problems.
Rong Desheng opened his eyes and asked Luo Wancai, "Wancai, what's your impression of this son?"
Luo Wancai recalled, "This Chen Jiaju is not very old and has a beautiful face. Alas, no, it should be a shrewd face... Anyway, this person gives me a very contradictory feeling. He is not very old, but he is extraordinary, and looks like a son of a family."
Rong Zongjing stood down and said in a low voice, "In this way, I'm interested in this Chen Jiaju. Wan Cai, have you told him? How to contact them?"
Luo Wancai said respectfully, "So I said that this son is extraordinary. He has already said that he will visit the boss early tomorrow morning."
Rong Zongjing looked at Rong Desheng and laughed and said, "This son is on the road like this, and I really have great hope for him. Second brother, no matter whether this son can do business with us or not, he has successfully attracted my attention to him. It's really a terrible future!"
Rong Desheng smiled and nodded, and the corners of his eyes clearly showed the same approval.
The next morning, the two brothers, Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng, came to the living room early. The servant next to them quickly came forward to serve. Everyone thought to himself, what kind of distinguished guest was coming today. It was rare for two owners to wait early at the same time. I haven't seen this situation for many years. It seems that he is a big shot. I have to be careful later. Wrong! For a while, these kids all straightened their chests and raised their heads and walked tall. Everyone was as energetic as chicken blood, which confused the housekeeper of Rongfu. When did these kids become so sensible?
At nine o'clock, Chen Jiaju appeared at the door of Rong's mansion on time. The Rong brothers greeted them out, and Luo Wancai followed him respectfully. When Chen Jiaju saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. He could let the Rong brothers go out to welcome guests in person. I'm afraid the huge Shanghai Beach is also one of the few!
