Chapter 1639: Talking About Cooperation
The main line of the Jiaoji Railway is 395.2 kilometers long, which is about the same distance from Shanghai to Jinling, the capital of the Republic of China. As soon as he got on the train, Shen Long remembered a joke in the future: Shocked, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway can run the entire distance in eight hours during the Republic of China. Some non-brained people immediately started spraying high-speed rail as soon as they saw this title. You are only doing things that people can do during the Republic of China, so you have the nerve to brag?
They also didn't think about it, the capital of the Republic of China and the current capital, are they the same city? It is more than 1,300 kilometers from the capital to Shanghai, and only 300 kilometers from Shanghai to Jinling.
During the period of the Republic of China, when a train ran at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, it had to have good roads, good cars, and good scheduling. Even if there was nothing to do on the road and it was not running at full speed, it would take more than 30 hours to complete the Beijing-Shanghai line. ; and now the high-speed rail from Shanghai to Jinling takes only one and a half hours.
From Qingdao Station, we passed through Lancun, Jiaozhou, Gaomi Zhilan Village, Qingzhou, and Linzi and finally arrived in Jinan. Shen Long set off in the morning, and it was already afternoon in Jinan; Miao Handong was thoughtful, and when he heard that he was coming , so they sent people to guard at the gate of the station, and took Shen Long home all the way.
Entering inside, Miao Handong immediately came out to greet him. He was dressed in a satin jacket, handsome, in his forties, with jet-black hair, and stretched out his hands from a distance, "Sixth brother, you can be regarded as coming to Jinan. But I’m looking forward to it! How is it? How’s the business in Qingdao? If you need help, just ask for help, give money if you want, and give someone if you want!”
Miao Handong is not an ordinary businessman. He is very generous and doesn't care about money at all. If people say they give money, it is really money, and you will never be asked to pay it back. Of course, if you can enjoy this kind of treatment, you have to They are the ones he likes, and Chen Shouting is one of them, and Miao Handong doesn't care about the others.
"Thanks to you, Dahua Dyeing Factory is now doing business in the downtown area - business is booming! I brought you some cloth dyed by our own dyeing factory. Don't dislike it!" Handed over.
"Hey, I gave you a piece of cake back then, and since then you have never been empty-handed every time you come to the door!" Miao Handong lost in memory, and then readily took a piece of cloth with his own hands, "But since it is you I will accept the cloth dyed by myself! I want to take a closer look to see if your handicraft has improved compared with that in Zhoucun."
Of course, Chen Shouting is not the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment in "Nine Pins of Sesame Officials".
"Good cloth! This is much brighter and more even than the cloth you dyed in Zhoucun! Sixth brother, your craftsmanship has improved again!" When he came to the living room and sat down, Miao Handong asked the housekeeper to bring refreshments, while he carefully Taking a closer look at the cloth sent by Shen Long, besides the Chengde Flour Mill, he also owns the Chengtong Yarn Mill. He learned weaving in England, so he is also an expert in this.
"It's not a matter of technological progress,
Although there are various restrictions on dyeing cloth by machine, there is one advantage that manual dyeing cannot match, that is, the quality is consistent, good is equally good, and bad is equally bad, so dyeing cloth by machine is better than hand dyeing. The color is much more even! " Shen Long replied with a smile.
"Yes, that's the truth!" Miao Handong clapped his hands in praise, "You've hit the point! Even if it's the same craftsman, there are good and bad jobs, but the machine is different. As long as the adjustment is done, The things that come out are all the same!" For those who do business, it is a good thing to have large quantities of products with stable quality.
"At first I thought you didn't read many books, but it would take some time to fully understand it in a big factory with machines. I didn't expect to produce this level of cloth so soon." Miao Handong was full of admiration.
"Brother Miao, I'm starting to study now!" Can everyone stop saying this when they see me? I am also a scholar now, and Shen Long repeated the excuse he had said several times.
"Hahaha, the ancients said it well, you should treat each other with admiration after three days. Sixth brother, you are so good at not studying, and now you are willing to work hard to study, and you will be fine in the future!" Miao Handong laughed.
"I know this. It was Lu Su in the Three Kingdoms who said what Lu Meng said. I heard Mr. Shu said it." This sentence is more like what Chen Shouting said. Chen Shouting doesn't like reading, but loves listening to books very much. Many reasons come from storytelling Learned from Mr.
As soon as we were talking, the butler had already prepared the food and drinks. The two of them sat down together and drank a few glasses. Then Shen Long talked about the business of coming back, "Brother Miao, to be honest, I am coming back to Jinan this time. I'm looking for your help!"
"I didn't say anything, since you asked, then I must help." Miao Handong didn't ask anything, and agreed without hesitation.
"That's what happened. As for our Dahua Dyeing Factory, we used to buy gray fabrics from the Japanese businessman Fujii, but recently we want to give Qingdao to Little Japan? I don't want to use their fabrics; and do business. I can't put the raw materials on one family, so I thought, brother Miao, don't you also have a spinning factory? So I want to ask, can I buy from you!" Shen Long explained the purpose of his visit.
"You are taking care of my business! How can I not be happy? However, to be honest, although I have a spinning factory in Qingdao, it is not big, the output is not high, and the quality is average. Otherwise, I would have asked someone to give it to you. Delivery! If you really want to find another way, I can help you and say hello to Zhou Xuexi, his Huaxin Spinning Mill is based in Germany, and the quality is absolutely fine!" Miao Handong did not directly agree, but It was for Shen Long's consideration.
During the period of the Republic of China, Qingdao was one of the three major textile bases in China along with Shanghai and Jinmen. There was a saying that many big businessmen set up factories in Qingdao, and Zhou Xuexi was the most famous one.
Zhou Xuexi was born in a famous family. His father, Zhou Fu, was the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi and Liangjiang. Zhou Xuexi himself presided over Beiyang Industry under Yuan Shikai. The famous Kailuan Mining Bureau was written by him. The term "Northern Zhou", "Nan Zhang" refers to Zhang Jian, the number one industrialist in the southeast, and "Northern Zhou" refers to Zhou Xuexi, the pioneer of new-style industry and commerce in North China.
The first textile factory in Qingdao was the "Dehua Silk Reeling Factory" opened by the Germans in Cangkou, Qingdao in 1902. This factory existed for 6 years and closed in 1908. In 1913, Tianjin industrialist Zhou Xuexi bought the factory and equipment, and converted into Huaxin Industrial Company (Huaxin Spinning Mill).
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't think much of Huaxin Factory."
