The journey starts from the Titanic

Zhang Youyi said, adding another sentence, as if to explain something."The Xu family father-in-law said, this industry will be left to A Huan in the future, and I will also care about it."

A Huan is her son, with a heart-felt heart. It is not difficult for Situ Nan to understand that this conservative, traditional, modern and tough woman next to her has been entangled with the Xu family for a lifetime.

"How is the factory operating?" Situ Nan asked with interest, perhaps from the Xu family we can see the operating conditions of the domestic national capitalists.

"When I started the factory. Brother Liu (Liu Hongsheng) helped me solve the raw material tungsten wire, and also helped me talk to Meihua Electric Company. Other parts of the bulb can also be purchased from the surrounding factories, and the factory was built in a short time.

In the beginning, the electric lights they made were sold to Meihua Electric Company under their brand.Many houses have been built in the urban area. I heard from the master that he also took a big order from the outside. A real estate company wanted to sell 5,000 light bulbs. The business was very good.

Workers don't pay much attention to hygiene, and the production line is a bit messy, not as good as the female workers in my garment factory.In my workshop, there are regulations on where and how to put things, but it’s not allowed to put things away."

She complained again.

Zhang Youyi talked about the interesting things in the factory that he saw today, and the smile on his face never stopped: "I have been busy. I came over today to take a look. I didn't expect to make light bulbs using glass plates, just like blowing balloons. "

"If you have time to visit Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant, you will find that the cannon barrels are kneaded by machines like dough. In fact, the creations are almost the same. The materials are heated and softened, and then they are made into various shapes. , Even the processes in it are ever-changing, and the products are sometimes very different."

Situ Nan smiled and agreed.Seeing that Zhang Youyi seemed to be interested in factory affairs, he told a simple and interesting story about creation in life.For example, there are a lot of electron tubes in the radio. Did he imply something just now?

Zhang Youyi thought to herself.Back then, I was encouraged by him to start my own business.

"It's more difficult to make electronic tubes. I said that making radios is relatively easy, which means purchasing parts from other manufacturers and assemble them by yourself.

Take the light bulb factory as an example. Importing electronic tubes and other parts from Meihua or foreign companies, plus the light bulb factory producing glass tubes and other accessories, assembling radios and selling them on the market, this solution is the fastest.

Of course, it is also possible to introduce a tube production line and sell tubes to Meihua or other foreign companies.As long as the quality of the product is good, business will definitely be hot."

Situ Nan said confidently.It has the meaning of pointing to Zhang Youyi, and it also has the element of inducing. Whether Zhang Youyi does it by herself or brings the words to the Xu family, if they have more ambitions, Situ Nan will take a higher look at the master Xu family and don’t mind helping them again. A handful.

"I'll think about it and see if I can do it. Anyway, I still have to thank Mr. Situ for your advice." Zhang Youyi nodded and took Situ Nan's words to heart. She was not afraid that Situ Nan would harm herself.

Speaking of her own business, Zhang Youyi told Situ Nan Women's Bank and Yunshang Clothing Company that both are developing well. Women's Bank has opened a dozen branches in Wuhan, Guangzhou and even Xintangshan, with assets exceeding 10 million.Among them, I have to mention two outstanding women who support the development of women's banks-Song Meiling and Wu Manli.

"Speaking of which, it turns out that Mr. Situ is the one who helped the women's bank the most." Zhang Youyi smiled, somewhat ridiculing Situ Nan. She knew the relationship between the two sisters mentioned above and Situ Nan.

Situ Nan shrugged and said nothing.However, Zhang Youyi mentioned that Yunshang Company purchased 500 sewing machines from Dasheng Loom Company, and the garment production capacity had doubled several times, which aroused Situ Nan's interest.

After Dasheng Group invented a new type of automatic loom sweeping the textile machinery market, hitting Toyota and other Japanese textile machinery manufacturers, it successfully imitated the American Singer sewing machine. The localized Daisheng sewing machine is half the price of the imported Singer sewing machine, but the quality Almost, soon more than half of the sewing machine market in Shanghai was taken away by Dasheng Loom Company.

Chapter 152

"Both. The pedal sewing machine is a copy of Shengjia. The electric sewing machine is a product designed and invented by Dasheng himself, but the price is much more expensive. Less than 100 sewing machines purchased by Yunshang Company are electric sewing machines, which are very efficient. , It’s too expensive."

Zhang Youyi complained.In my heart, I am very satisfied with the development of Yunshang Clothing Company. Not only did we get the support of giants like Dasheng Company in the upstream, but also received a large number of military uniform orders from the military and hundreds of thousands of school uniforms through the Meihua Foundation. For orders, Meihua Company orders tooling from Yunshang Company from time to time.

After developing for less than five years, Yunshang Garment Company has become a large company employing more than 50,000 workers (mostly women workers). It has established garment factories in Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, and Xintangshan.

Zhang Youyi said that since the joint venture with Xujia's light bulb factory was put into production, he had never had the opportunity to see it, which is also reasonable.

"If you continue to develop at the current rate, the assets of women's banks will exceed 100 million in five years, because tens of thousands of women workers are your customers, and the development of women's banks is increasingly tied to Yunshang."

Situ Nan analyzed and said that while he was happy with Zhang Youyi's achievements, he also asked her with some worry whether it would affect her family and children.

"There is no way for the child. His grandparents can help me take the child. I have to pick up the child from Xu's house every one or two days."

Zhang Youyi sighed. Because of the child, the relationship between her and Xu's family has been cut off. Fortunately, her ex-husband does not live in Xu's family, otherwise it will inevitably be embarrassing when meeting.Busy work is hard work, but at least the emotional pain can be forgotten.

When Situ Nan was worried about her safety, she smiled and told Situ Nan that if it weren't for Mr. Xu's car today, she was in a hurry, and she usually went out with a bodyguard.Situ Nan who said he laughed.

time flies.When the car arrived in Jiangwan, the traffic gradually became lively. To be precise, Situ Nan saw a large construction site.

I don't know if it was Situ Nan.Blue, jeans, work clothes, uniforms, these elements have increasingly become the mainstream fashion in China and South China in the 1920s and 1930s. It is common to see young people and laborers in blue and white denim work clothes walking in the streets of cities. , Adding color to this era dominated by black and dark gray clothing.

Several workers who walked by the street in blue and white denim overalls let off work from the construction site were talking and laughing.It may be that the boss paid out wages today, it may be that the food on the site is good, or it may be discussing the style of a certain tofu.

They have confidence in their smiles, not like the rigorous Vino demeanor that was scared by the waterwheels of the big city when they first came into the city from the country in dusty clothes.

Urban construction and industrial development have provided a large number of employment opportunities. After having stable jobs and gradually adapting to survival in the city, these people have provided fresh blood for urban development.

"Seeing that more and more people in Shanghai are wearing blue overalls and jeans. I am happy in my heart." When the car passed the door of Sincere Department Store, Situ Nan smiled when he saw a group of young men in blue and white overalls with bags in their hands. Smiled.

"Why do you say that? Is it because of your denim hobby?"

Zhang Youyi looked at Situ Nan suspiciously, and asked with a smile.It’s nice that you are a rich person. You like denim overalls yourself, but mixing with the street workers seems a bit of a price drop, right?

Zhang Youyi doesn't understand this aesthetic attitude.Of course, it does not prevent Yunshang Clothing Company from leading and manufacturing this trend. A considerable part of those blue and white denim garments are produced by Yunshang Clothing Company.

Zhang Youyi looked outside.There were several cars parked in front of Xianshi Department Store, and people flowed in and out. Although it was a new branch in the new city center, the city center had not yet been built.But business is very good.

Several national department stores such as Yunshang Garment Company and Sincere Department Store have always cooperated. One third of the high-end clothing produced by Yunshang Garment Company is sold through department stores.

"This is not the case. I have seen that the number of workers is expanding, and the proportion of the working class in the urban population is rising. This means that the city is undergoing industrialization, and it also means that the national industry is developing. More labor. More capital and technology. , A bigger market, isn't it what capitalists like you and me want to see?"

Situ Nan explained with a smile.

Needless to say, the reason is too clear. As soon as Situ Nan said, Zhang Youyi understood it immediately, but I did not expect that Situ Nan's vision of observing society is so unique, observing social development through people wearing denim overalls on the street.

Zhang Youyi had to admire his vision not only to see far, but also to see carefully.She suddenly realized that Yunshang clothing had completely penetrated all corners of the city without knowing it.

His gaze returned to Situ Nan, seeing Situ Nan silently looking at the New Shanghai area outside the window. Even if a man like him sits quietly without speaking, he has a unique charm, as if his mind is like a mountain. The sea, like a gentle breeze and drizzle, you can't guess, but you are attracted by him.

There is such a wonderful man in the world. Although he doesn't always dance with pen and ink, and speaks well, it doesn't mean he doesn't. On the contrary, he is calm, restrained, broad-minded, and beyond ordinary. Compared with him, his own is really like him. The spoiled innocent child, although poetic and talented, cannot be trusted.

After the completion of several arterial roads, the new Shanghai with Jiangwan as the center has already shown a general outline.

"I heard that Mayor Yang ran to the construction site in three or two days and kept urging the engineering company to speed up the progress. I heard that the city government will be moved to Jiangwan to be neighbors with foreigners in the spring of next year. He is anxious to live in a new house. Infected by his enthusiasm, the houses in Jiangwan are rising every day, and many people are going there to buy houses and do business."

Zhang Youyi pointed to the surrounding construction sites and introduced to Situ Nan while introducing that it was a certain government office building, a certain square, a certain company, a certain shopping mall, and a mansion of a certain wealthy businessman.

The tone of her voice sometimes ridiculed the new mayor, indicating that she, a businesswoman, has risen to a very high position.

Situ Nan nodded from time to time, thinking that Yang Yongtai really has a bit of hard work spirit!

To the south of Jiangwan is the so-called Hongkou Concession. After the Hongkou Concession, it is the British and American public concession. That is to say, Shanghai officials have to work next to foreigners.

Do they want calcium supplements?

Past and present, two lives as a human, experience tells Situ Nan that there should be no high expectations for the bones of bureaucrats. They will easily compromise with foreigners if their interests are damaged.They will be good at making up for the "lamb" of their country.

Increasingly, there is a need to strengthen the Wusongkou Fortress and Shanghai’s naval equipment, accelerate the construction of the Chongming Island submarine base, and deploy a group of torpedo bombers outside Shanghai.

Situ Nan made up his mind to tell Wang Geng stationed in Shanghai his opinion.Think of Wang Geng.Situ Nan's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

With his eyes swept over Zhang Youyi next to him, Situ Nan thought to himself: In history, Wang Geng fell off the chain and went to jail, which is bad luck.It’s because of personality problems that people are good at being deceived. In short, Wang Geng is an honest person, good in all aspects, serious in work, diligent and self-discipline, this is especially rare, Situ Nan appreciates it, Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin and others also appreciate it. Everyone respects him, but he is less cruel.

Man's fierceness!

Similar encounters.The plot of dog-blood made Situ Nan think of other people from the fate of Wang Geng, especially Zhang Lingfu, who had a fate not long ago.
