The journey starts from the Titanic

I really miss the young master a little, don't you know he is in the United States?

After a while, Little Kadoorie came to William Garden.

"What? Is the situation okay?" Lin Yimin asked with a smile.Now the north is fighting again, and it is also the busiest time for the arms dealer, Kadoorie.

"It's pretty good. A total of 20 million yuan, Cao Wu 15 million, Zhang Zuolin 5 million. 50,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns, and pistols and cannons have been delivered, enough for them to play for a while."

Little Kadoorie smiled.He is now very used to this kind of death-trafficking business, and he enjoys it somewhat.In short, this is a very challenging job.In addition to the guns this time, Wu Peifu also increased the order for aircraft and purchased more than 20 bombers in preparation to give the bandit Zhang some high-tech.

"That's good." Lin Yimin nodded and asked again, "Who do you think will win?"

"I hope it's Wu. He owes us money. Although we are not afraid of his failure, it is best not to lose this big customer." Xiao Jia said.

"Of course, we are the victors." He took a sip of red wine and added triumphantly.

"I agree with this." Lin Yimin and Xiao Jiadaoli had a drink, and then warned: "Wu Peifu is not that simple. Be careful and stop his way."

Arms are indeed profitable, and foreign companies in various countries are desperately dumping surplus arms from World War I to China. Among them, Meihua and Japanese companies have worked hardest.After the failure of armed intervention in Russia, many arms dealers from Europe also focused on the Chinese market, including Italy, France, Britain, and Germany.

It is a bit funny to say that on the one hand, they are afraid that the war will affect investment in China. On the other hand, they want to profit from the arms trade. This is a contradiction.

Lin Yimin also has this mentality.

"Although this kind of business is easy to do, it does not last for a long time. Meihua has to invest more in a long-term business. After a few months, those textile and flour merchants in Shanghai can't stand it anymore, right? Up."

Lin Yimin drank it all.Turning back to give orders to Meihua Company to prepare to buy the bottom of the textile industry in Shanghai. His target is China's largest textile company-Dasheng Yarn Factory.

To this end, Meihua has been planning for a long time.The wave of letters and exchanges in Shanghai has hit the national capital in an all-round way, and as an old cotton spinning mill, it is also inevitable.

The Shanghai Office of Dasheng in Shanghai, originally the accounting office of Dasheng Textile Mill in Shanghai, has now become the nerve center and financial adjustment center of the entire Dasheng system.

Zhang Jian stood upstairs, his thin face was covered with a touch of sorrow, watching the figures entering and leaving the door silently.

Dasheng is still so lively, almost a bit crowded.However, customers used to be in surplus, and now they have become creditors.

This was fully reflected in the faces of the creditors who came in with a serious face and went out with a cold face. Those people used to come with bright smiles.

After a while, the entourage came over and whispered softly: "Master, another one is here, creditor, see or not?"

Chapter 36

"Mr. Zhang, this year may be a turning point for Dasheng from prosperity to decline. Dasheng’s golden age has come to an abrupt end and will never return."

As soon as they met, Zhang Jian felt a little unhappy when he heard Lin Yimin comment on Dasheng Company.

He glanced lightly at the confident young man in front of him. His appearance was not outstanding, but he had a sharp aura. He should be someone who is usually used to giving orders.

Lin Yimin was negotiating on behalf of Meihua Company, so he was naturally qualified.But Zhang Jian couldn't agree with him.Dasheng Company is his pride, just like a child he has raised so hard, it is only strange to have a good mood if he is rejected by others.

"Dasheng's current situation is indeed a bit bad, but it's not as serious as you said?" Zhang Jian said.

"From the situation of Dasheng itself, this is indeed the case, but Mr. Zhang has not seen the overall situation! The overall situation is that under the squeeze of the British and Japanese yarn mills, Shanghai is almost no stage for Dasheng. Compared with capital, technology, Management, I don’t see how long Dasheng will be glorious."

Lin Yimin shook his head. Although Dasheng Company took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the First World War to develop rapidly, in the general climate of the Republic of China, it was ultimately no match for the foreign capital of sword-fighting traders.

Before Zhang Jian could refute, Lin Yimin continued: “At present, it is not Dasheng, not the British, but the Japanese who occupy most of China’s textile market. They were not busy during the First World War. They bought a large number of textile companies invested by Britain in China. .

Now, let alone the many textile mills in Japan, the number of textile mills set up by the Japanese in Shanghai, Tianjin, Hankou and other places is larger than that of Dasheng.Do you know how many textile factories in Tokyo closed down during the Japanese economic crisis last year?"

Zhang Jian was taken aback by what Lin Yimin said. He realized that he could not answer this question.

Lin Yimin shook his head, "I don't know, because more than half of the textile mills have experienced economic difficulties, with losses of more than hundreds of millions of yen. Now the entire world economy is sluggish, especially in the textile industry, where daily competition is fierce. Needless to say, you. Know that Japanese textile companies are selling spindles at low prices, right?

They are not only simply invading the Chinese market, but also struggling to survive, using the Chinese market to transfer domestic economic contradictions!

In order to support these textile companies last year, the Japanese government issued a large amount of loans on the one hand and spared no effort to encourage domestic manufacturers to find opportunities in China.

The British textile industry has also recovered, and their textiles have returned to China.Last year, Meihua imported more than 50,000 spindles from India’s Tata Company, which is only part of the Indian cotton industry.

So I said I was not optimistic about the future of Dasheng Company.The words are a little straight, and I hope Mr. Zhang will not mind."

Zhang Jian frowned and looked at Lin Yimin in surprise, but he didn't expect Lin Yimin to know so much.These words touched his worry.

Dasheng’s life has not been so easy since last year. The loss is more than 1 million yuan, and the accumulated debt is as high as more than 5 million yuan. For Dasheng’s total assets of more than 10 million yuan, the debt ratio is not too bad. .The problem is that Dasheng's main business is concentrated in the textile industry, and faced with increasingly serious losses, it is really at a loss.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhang Jian asked.He wanted to hear what this big-sounding young man said.

"It's not a good strategy, it's nothing more than capital, technology, and management." Lin Yimin smiled. The capital should be what Dasheng Company needs now. Without sufficient funds, it will be dragged down by Japanese spinning mills sooner or later.

Technology upgrades have to rely on imports from abroad. Dasheng itself does not have too deep technical accumulation.As for management, it can only rely on squeezing cheap labor, how the world does it.

"However, these are all your business and have nothing to do with me. To tell the truth, I am here today to ask for money." Lin Yimin's words were a little abrupt, and Zhang Jian's expression immediately became bitter.

Although Dasheng has its own cotton plantation and a fixed source of cotton, it has expanded too fast in recent years and has opened its ninth branch.

Once imported a lot of Indian cotton from Meihua Company, they owed Meihua Company more than 1 million in debt.

If the money was for the first two years, the ability of Dasheng Company would not be a big issue, but now it would be embarrassing for Zhang Jian to spend 1 million in funds.

"As you said, you probably understand the situation of Dasheng Company. We will not fall back on the debt problem. We just have to tolerate some days." Zhang Jian sincerely said.

"This is no problem, I can trust Mr. Zhang." Lin Yimin smiled slightly, "But since Dasheng Company can't get the money, then when we become a shareholder of Dasheng Company, what do you think?"

"Are you here for Dasheng Company?" Zhang Jian's eyes sharpened, and he looked at Lin Yimin with some caution.

"Almost!" Lin Yimin admitted generously."By the way, I forgot to tell you that Meihua has purchased a lot of Dasheng shares from the stock market. I think as a shareholder of Dasheng, I have the right to comment on Dasheng's current bad situation."

"What?" Zhang Jian did not expect that the other party had absorbed Dasheng's stock from the stock market, and he came prepared today.

"It's a good calculation. Now Dasheng's stock price has fallen badly enough." He said bitterly.

Although Zhang Jian is Dasheng’s agent and holds a lot of shares, he does not reach the controlling level. Dasheng has other shareholders.If the other party splices strong funds and forcefully enters the university, it is estimated that he will not be able to stop it.

"Mr. Zhang, I guess you also know the Hanyang Iron Factory. With Dasheng’s current situation, there is a lot of pressure to compete with Japanese spinning mills. I am not optimistic. Not only Dasheng, but other textile mills in Shanghai will also be affected. Slowly squeezed. The only way is for Meihua Holdings to survive by integrating more textile companies, expanding scale and reducing costs. Otherwise..." Lin Yimin looked at Zhang Jian calmly.

"The result will be like Wuhan Industrial Group?" Zhang Jian immediately responded.

Lin Yimin nodded and said: "A similar model will be adopted, but the Dasheng in my plan will be a textile monopoly organization covering all aspects of cotton planting, cotton spinning, printing and dyeing, finished products, and sales.

Speaking of it, I am a little bit worried about implementing such a plan in China, I don't know whether it will succeed, but this is the only way that China's textile industry can survive and develop.It’s a long way to say now, but if Dasheng becomes part of Meihua, Meihua promises to digest one third of Dasheng’s output."

Lin Yimin, the old champion and entrepreneur, admires him very much. What's more, the champion is also a capable man who favors local autonomy.If you can get the support of the No. 1 industrialist in China, Meihua's economic influence in Shanghai will be even greater.

However, this old gentleman often borrows money from Dasheng Company to run education, school and other projects. Although it is admirable, he is definitely not allowed to do anything in the future.

The mode of operation of business-owned enterprises, private-owned enterprises, and large amounts of enterprise funds to do other affairs is not acceptable.

Lin Yimin had already begun how to rectify Dasheng Company.Yes, besides Meihua, will anyone be willing to lend money to Dasheng Company?
