145 Dark Blood Age
At night, the inside and outside of the beach are clear, and the view is like a silver mountain fire tree, Lan musk Ganan is full of fragrance, and tourists stay up all night, and the international metropolis is bustling.
Li wanted to sneak out of the banquet in the Peacock Hall of the Licha Hotel and climb up the garden on the roof.
Since the Opium War, the Qing government has always been humiliating and tolerant, and betraying the country. This diplomatic involvement is an important diplomatic achievement after the founding of the Republic of China, a milestone in the history of diplomacy, and a legendary experience for Li Xiang. Lixiang's reputation is bullish again, and there are another batch of people who want to be up to him.
Li wanted to be on the roof, but he saw Tang Xiangming, Chen Jiageng and Zhang Qian sitting in the pavilion talking and laughing.
Li Xiang walked into the pavilion and said with a smile, "You are free! This banquet is going to break up! The false wealth and the tyranny of heaven and things have nothing to do with the customs of Shanghai and the former Qing Dynasty. What I see are all whitewashers!"
"Li Shuai doesn't have to care about them. You can do whatever you want. They like to spend their own money, so they can enjoy themselves. What's wrong with them?" Tang Xiangming said with a smile.
Zhang Qian, the champion, also laughed and said, "I know them best. These habits can't be changed for a while - Li Shuai, please sit here."
Li Xiang sat next to the champion and said, "What are you talking about?"
Chen Jiageng offered tea to Li Xiang and said, "Let's talk about some business experience."
"The journey of starting a business alone is extremely difficult." Li wanted to sigh. He remembered his entrepreneurial path in Hankou. He was a gangster with Liu Xinsheng and started by engaging in a black factory to produce fake foreign brands... He asked again, "How did Brother Chen do pineapple business in Nanyang?"
Li Xiang has always been curious and didn't have a chance to ask. He remembers that Chen Jiageng is in the rubber business.
"Li Shuai was just saying that 'the journey of starting a business alone is extremely difficult' - in my hand at that time, I only had a little money, only 7,000 yuan, or borrowed it, and the funds were not enough. What do you think this little money can be used to invest in to succeed? Chen Jiageng said, "After detailed investigation, I found that canned pineapples are selling well, and the cycle is short, and the funds needed are not very large, which is very suitable for my situation. So I decided to build a pineapple canning factory. I started to build a pineapple canning factory in the freshwater port mountains 10 miles from downtown Singapore.
Li Xiang frowned, calculated the account for Chen Jiageng, and said, "If you save everything, save it again. The borrowed 7,000 yuan is barely enough for the factory construction."
If it is a cottage black workshop, it is more than enough.
Zhang Qian, the champion, nodded with approval and said, "But it's not enough to start work, because there are no raw materials to produce!"
"The white iron and sugar used to make canned pineapples can be credited to other merchants. Finally, there is no problem with the start of work. Chen Jiageng said, "Under my careful management, the canning factory is operating well, the sales are bullish, and the accounting results at the end of the month after production have made a net profit of more than 9,000 yuan. It not only recovers all the investment in factory construction, but also has a surplus. The economic benefits are really amazing.
Li thought about smiling, but somehow he couldn't laugh and said, " Put the eggs in a basket. This is a single business method. What should we do once the chickens fly and eggs are beaten?"
Chen Jiageng looked at Li and thought for a long time, because what Li Shuai said was not bad at all. The road to entrepreneurship is not smooth sailing. While the pineapple business is developing smoothly, in the summer of 1906, the canned pineapple market plummeted, and Chen Jiageng can only barely keep a profit of 10,000 yuan. This blow made him realize that shopping malls are like battlefields, and only relying on one product operation cannot adapt to the rapid changes of the market. He wants to Looking for new projects.
Zhang Qian, the champion, couldn't help nodding.
"The operation of Chinese businessmen in Nanyang is generally single. This is also the policy of the British and Dutch colonial governments in the colonies. There is nothing we can do to legislate many restrictions on Chinese businessmen. Now that the New Covenant has been signed, these discriminatory laws have been abolished. I hope the situation can be better." Chen Jiageng added, "In fact, so many business representatives from Nanyang this time also want to find new projects in China."
"In fact, there are also many undiscovered projects in Nanyang..." Li thought.
"Oh?" Chen Jiageng and Zhang Qian suddenly came to the same spirit.
"I'm very optimistic about the rubber industry, from rubber plantations to rubber deep processing... I don't know if you are interested?"
Chen Jiageng was about to speak when he looked up and saw Li Xiang's housekeeper sister Mei Di coming in with a beautiful woman. When she looked carefully, it turned out to be Miss Song, the English secretary of Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
Li Xiang also saw it. He was shocked and quickly stood up and said, "It's Miss Song! When did you come here?" He was also scuffed with the housekeeper's little sister: "Miss Song is here. Why didn't you come and let me know first?"
Miss Song laughed and said, "Don't blame her. My husband and I didn't see Marshal Li in the Peacock Hall. We couldn't wait for her to inform us."
Everyone was stunned when they heard someone outside walking in with a smile. They walked one end and said, "Yes. When you talk in private, Li Shuai asked if you were interested. What is it? I'm very interested."
"Sir!" Chen Jiageng was shocked.
Even Li wanted to stand up.
Sun Yat-sen appeared in the pavilion with a smile on his face. He raised his hand very easy-going and smiled, "You all sit... I'm really interested."
Li wanted to move his seat to the center in a hurry. He asked Mr. Sun Yat-sen to sit in the middle and sit on the side with Tang Xiangming, Chen Jiageng and Zhang Qian.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "I'm chatting about the way to rejuvenate the country. Now that the Republic of China is established, the top priority is to concentrate social funds and develop capitalism and foreign-funded competition. Only the development of material industry, financial industry and financial management can be beneficial to save the country. The revolutionaries, as well as the whole people, should change their minds to engage in politics and concentrate on their lives.
"Yes!" Sun Yat-sen is now listening to these words. He has been inspecting industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently. "Li Shuai is very knowledgeable. It's just that there are so many things in this industry, where are you going to start?
Li wanted to be praised like this. He blushed with excitement and hurriedly laughed: "Establish and develop a big capital enterprise! China should first strengthen the country and then enrich the people. This is the only way to catch up with the rising country! Today, China, under the rule of the imperial zhuyi, has become the target of the imperial zhuyi countries to step up the export of capital, plunder raw materials, and squeeze the blood and sweat of the Chinese people. The imperialists set up factories and establish financial structures everywhere in China, which is bound to pose a great threat to the survival and development of national enterprises. Under such circumstances, from the perspective of China's fundamental interests, it is first necessary to establish and develop our own large capital enterprises and concentrate greater capital forces to resist the threat from the world's trust capital forces.
Li Xiang undisguised the envy of American monopoly capital: "If China can have a large monopoly capital like Morgan, not only can the agricultural, industrial and commercial mines in the mainland rise, that is, the real benefits of the distant Liao and Mongolia's return to Tibet can be quickly expanded. How can China's poor people be worried? How can the source of China's wealth be considered?
Zhang Jian, the champion, smiled and nodded and sighed, "Heroes see the same!"
When Zhang Jian set up Dasheng Textile Company in Nantong, he put forward a request to the Ministry of Commerce of the Qing Dynasty that there should be no second factory within a hundred miles within 20 years. Since then, when he set up Tongshuai Match Company and other enterprises, he applied to the Ministry of Commerce of the Qing Dynasty, asking for "assistant Dasheng Textile Company to complete the case; it is also limited to 20 years between a hundred miles" and not to allow others to set up factories. These activities show that Zhang Jian tried to exclude the competition of other capital enterprises and form the exclusive position of the capital group within the scope of the power of the Dasheng Capital Group.
After hearing this, Sun Yat-sen shook his head and said, "Like Japan, the development of private capitalism is really endless. We should take measures to prevent the disadvantages of capitalism." He pointed out: "The gist of people's livelihood is not to let the right to public welfare be monopolized by one or two private people, but to interfere in order. Posts, land, electric wires, railways, banks, ships, tobacco, sugar wine... All rights related to public welfare should be owned by the state. Because the government of the Republic of China is a government shared by the Chinese people. If the private monopoly rights are taken back and the public is returned to the public, then the benefits obtained from the cause are shared by the whole country. Only by implementing the state-of-state with large capital will there be no disparity between the rich and the poor as in Europe and the United States, so as to prevent the ills of capitalism and avoid repeating the mistakes of Western capitalism.
Li Xiang hurriedly replied, "Since I decided to adopt the policy of colonization and industry, I have been thinking about it... I know that this is a national policy to benefit a few people! I know Japan. In order to achieve comprehensive industrialization, the Japanese people are living a hard life. It's much more bitter than us! I also know that the families of the Liangjiang consortium and my Xinhua Group are extremely rich. But that little money is not enough to stuff the teeth. If you want to save this capital, you don't want to rob the people's land in China. Why don't you go out and rob other people's land... Do you want to strengthen the country or let the people live a peaceful life? I have been thinking about it for a long time..."
Li Xiang was really full of emotion for a while.
"Look at what era this is! This is the beginning of the 20th century. It is an era of unprecedented cruelty in human history, and the law of the jungle rules all international relations! All kinds of civilizations compete, but if they don't advance, they will retreat. To make up for missing a step at this time, it takes a hundred steps to catch up! We have got up late, but we can't be late again! If any backward country wants to squeeze into the peak of the human nation, there must be bloody and cruel accumulation...
The foreign devils of the great powers plundered the whole world. I can only guarantee that in my lifetime, I will try to grab as much as possible! And if the gods of our ancestors bless us, under my control, we will try our nation not to fall to the current level of North Korea and India!
We need to be as strong as possible, strong enough to compete for the amount we deserve. You can also fight against the groups that have to make contributions in this primitive accumulation process... I have a hundred ways to repay them by abolishing agricultural taxes, providing various subsidies, and providing national land benefits! In such a big country, it is impossible for us to be like a small country, and we can feed the rest of the soup. At this stage, we have to step on how many other civilized corpses to reach it! Of course, with the development of the times, the means of defeating, suppressing and plundering other civilizations will gradually change, and may become less bloody...
I have no choice, and this country has no choice! All I have to do is to shorten this process as much as possible.
Establishing a trust such as a large capital enterprise has many benefits in solving social contradictions and in the operation and management of enterprises.
First, it can reconcile the contradictions between capitalists. Because trusts are formed by the free and voluntary union of large and small companies, it must play a role in reconcrehabilizing the conflict of interests between large and small capitalists.
Second, the trust is beneficial to workers and is harmless, that is to say, it can solve the contradictions between labor and management, and enable workers to increase wages and obtain more employment opportunities.
Third, organizing trusts is beneficial to improving the operation and management of enterprises and improving economic benefits.
Based on this, China must establish and develop trusts, use it to deal with the economic aggression of the empire, and practice the law of trust. Can't you change the European and American industries?
