Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 394 Flood
Ice city
Since the start of classes at Hanyao Middle School on September 9, the weather in Bingcheng in mid-September has started to rain again and again.

A carriage jingled out from the water curtain like a water curtain, and stopped in the compound of Hanyao headquarters. Under the Hanyao headquarters building, Zhu Chuanwen's secretary, Zhao Dong, was waiting with a black plastic umbrella .

"Director Mao!"

When the carriage came to a complete stop, Zhao Dong hurriedly opened the umbrella and trotted to welcome him.

"Zhao Dong! The Prime Minister asked you to pick me up?" Mao Guangting stepped off the carriage steadily and asked Zhao Dong. His eyes were very curious about the umbrella in Zhao Dong's hand, and he even handed the paper umbrella in his hand to Zhao Dong. The accompanying secretary, and took from him a stack of documents that the secretary put in his arms.

"Yes, director, didn't you say you were coming? The general manager asked me to come down and wait."

"Isn't this the raw material for the plastic project at the beginning of this year? I didn't expect the smelting research institute to come up with the product as soon as the results came out." Mao Guangting recognized the raw material of this black umbrella at a glance.

"Yes, Director, this is the product that Director Qu Zhenggan just took out half a month ago. He said that this project was taken over from you." Zhao Dong also knew the origin of this plastic umbrella.

The Metallurgical Research Institute is a new research institute established by Hanyao after the Institute of Chemistry, Firearms, and Physics in August. Now half of the people are going to the United States, and they are all from the original metallurgical team of Qu Zhengqian.And after the refinery was really placed under the jurisdiction of Qu Zhengqian, some researchers in the Chemical Research Institute also entered the Metallurgical Research Institute.

And this plastic is the first product produced by the petrochemical laboratory of the Metallurgy Research Institute.

Born out of a patent purchased from the United States.

"That's right, Lao Qu took over a golden baby from me this time." Mao Guangting said, walked into the lobby of Hanyao's headquarters building, and walked straight towards the elevator, while Zhao Dong handed the umbrella to the first floor After the personnel, followed closely behind.

In Zhu Chuanwen's office, he was watching the heavy rain outside the window anxiously, waiting for Cao Dezhong's feedback on this year's autumn harvest from Zhu's Grain Shop.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Enter!"

"President!" Mao Guangting greeted Zhu Chuanwen who was sitting behind the desk.

"Guang Ting, come and sit down." Zhu Chuanwen calmed down and got up, and the two sat on the sofa in the meeting room, and Zhao Dong quickly served tea and water.

"Director General, this is a telegram from Director Gu Ansheng from Jinling City."

"Tell me!" Zhu Chuanwen showed joy. This Nanyang Encouragement Fair can be said to have greatly improved the company's popularity and product quality. It also has the opportunity for Hanyao Commercial Bank to expand its business to Nanyang.

“截止9月16日晚下午6点，谷理事的黑省会馆共收到各省商家订单价值1300余万银元，先期1成左右的订金已交由美国花旗银行进行了周转。”毛光廷总体的说道。

At the same time, an order was handed over, which needs to be submitted to Zhu Chuanwen for approval. This time, the order covers many types. The detailed matters will be divided and distributed by the person in charge of Hanyao headquarters, and a series of directors in charge will be assigned to carry out specific tasks.

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Chuanwen looked at the steam main engine of Ironware No. [-] Factory, the farm tools of Ironware No. [-] Factory, the rails and steel bars of Hanyao Steel Plant, the monosodium glutamate of Monosodium Glutamate Factory, chocolate factory, sugar factory, coffee factory, etc. A sense of pride arises spontaneously from messy orders.

This time, Hanyao General Manufacturing Bureau has finally developed its own brand and started its own road to take-off.

"Zhao Dong, go and keep a copy for me, and then instruct your secretariat to split the order and branch managers. I want this order to appear on the desks of each branch manager this afternoon. According to the order requirements, Complete the production tasks while maintaining quality and quantity." Zhu Chuanwen signed his name in a hurry, and put forward his specific requirements of "guaranteeing quality and quantity", and asked the secretary to handle this matter quickly.

Zhao Dong alone is definitely not enough. Zhu Chuanwen's secretariat has 7 people, all of whom have their own tasks on this floor. It can be said that they are the main transit unit when large-scale tasks like Hanyao are issued.

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Zhao Dong took the order and hurried out.

"Guangting, what's the news from Belgium? Why haven't there been any orders?" Zhu Chuanwen asked. This time, the Hanyao Chamber of Commerce organized a total of two teams. Gu Ansheng personally led the Nanyang Quanye team in Jinling City There is also a group of people going to Belgium to participate in the Belgian World Expo that Xu Shichang got a place to participate in.

The International Exposition appeared in the nineteenth century and was proposed by the British. The Crystal Palace in the UK and the Eiffel Tower in France are actually landmark buildings built for the International Exposition. The main purpose is to demonstrate national power.

Various newspapers in the Qing Dynasty also referred to the World Expo as the "Fantastic Fair" and "Saiqi Fair". After the Qing Dynasty officially participated in the official name in 1904, it was officially named the "World Expo".

However, all kinds of jokes appeared in the middle, making people laugh and throwing embarrassment to the world, which is the main image of the Qing Dynasty participating in the World Expo.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the environment over there, hey...the China Pavilion in Belgium, there are actually no people at all, and our products are basically not seen by anyone!" Mao Guangting said, contacting Paris by radio, and the information he got was comparable to Gu Ansheng in Jinling. The city got the news much sooner, and the Belgian team was later directly handed over to Mao Guangting.

"how?"

"President, let me tell you from the beginning. In the past few decades, the Qing Dynasty mainly sent its traditional export products such as handicrafts, agricultural products, tea, and porcelain to the World Expo for exhibition, and it won quite a lot of awards. But since the official participation of the Qing court, this matter has changed.

In 1905, the Qing government sent a delegation led by Yang Zhaojun to participate in the same World Expo in Belgium.Relying on his own likes and dislikes, this man actually placed such incredible products as instruments of torture, opium, bongs, and foot wraps in the exhibition hall.

Although it was later withdrawn, it can be said that this has had a very bad impact in Belgium.This led to the opening of the Qing Dynasty Pavilion, and not many people came to see it. "

"Even if we took away the bicycles, the same goes for things that foreigners like like chocolate, coffee, and radios?" Zhu Chuanwen knew about this, why did Xu Shichang appoint the Hanyao Manufacturing Bureau to participate, because he wanted to use Hanyao's industry to reverse it? The image of the Qing Dynasty, but the seeds of disgust have been planted in the hearts of Belgians, and even foreigners who come to visit are too lazy to visit the Qing Dynasty Pavilion.

"Yes, Prime Minister, you don't know that our image in Europe is really bad. The little-footed women in Qing Dynasty, the Patagonian giants in South America, the dwarfs in Africa, and the Eskimos in Canada are all exhibitions. A strange hunting creature, the kind for tourists to watch!"

"Boom!" Zhu Chuanwen slapped his hands heavily on the table.

In 1900 Paris held the Universal Exposition.Advanced high-tech products such as movie machines, radio transceivers, telescopes and X-ray instruments were exhibited in the advanced European and American regions.

The Qing Dynasty was represented by agricultural products such as porcelain, silk and tea.

In 1904, St. Louis held the World's Fair.Advanced Europe and the United States exhibited more mature high-tech products such as automatic exchange telephones and radio communication equipment.

The Qing Dynasty was represented by agricultural products such as porcelain, silk and tea.

In 1910 Belgium held the Universal Exposition.Advanced European and American exhibits such unusual products as sound films and plastics.

The Qing Dynasty was still represented by agricultural products such as porcelain, silk and tea.

Hanyao's first participation in the exhibition, although it can't be said to be a top-notch technology, has already been linked to the industry, but because of the poor location, it still failed to attract people to watch.

It can be said that there are many women with small feet in Hanyao's counter.

This is exactly what Zhu Chuanwen was angry about. It was extremely unlikely that Hanyao would receive orders from Europe, but he took people to exhibit like animals, which made him a little furious.

In fact, this time, the official team leaders of the Qing Dynasty did not pay much attention to Han Yao, and they brought Han Yao's men under the pressure of Xu Shichang.

Westerners are already tired of seeing the old-fashioned "Tianchao Shangguo". It can be said that this means that the Qing Dynasty is still the Qing Dynasty, and it is out of touch with the highly modernized industrial society of the West.

"Zhao Dong, call Qiao Hongguo in!" Zhu Chuanwen shouted towards the door.

"Okay, Prime Minister!" Zhao Dong looked at Zhu Chuanwen who had stood up, and the sweat broke out on his forehead. He agreed and hurriedly called Qiao Hongguo, the head of the Workers' Union.

Mao Guangting thought it was because Zhu Chuanwen was dissatisfied with Hanyao's products being neglected, and was about to explain when he heard Zhu Chuanwen say.

"Guang Ting, Lao Gu is doing very well with the Nanyang Quanye Association. The directors of you work together to process these orders. In addition, let Gu Ansheng send grain to Zhang's Chamber of Commerce in Nanyang Make an order, I don’t wait for the feedback from Cao Dezhong from the Zhujia Grain Shop this year, and your business will do a good job in the promotion of rice in the future.”

The staple food in Kanto is wheat, sorghum, corn, etc., but there is no rice. This year's situation looks really bad. The introduction of rice from Nanyang will stabilize the price of food in Kanto. This is a good idea.

"President, what about the money?" Mao Guangting asked.

"Isn't Citibank still giving us working capital? Go directly to Zhang's Chamber of Commerce's account, place an order of 130 million silver dollars in advance for Nanyang grain, whichever is cheaper to buy, and let Zhu Fan's transportation team calculate the transportation capacity after the order is made. For the time being, the warehouse in Shanghai will be used as turnover," Zhu Chuanwen said.

Zhu Fan currently owns 5 ships, one of which usually travels between Vladivostok and Japan, one takes the route from Vladivostok to San Francisco, and the other three will travel between Vladivostok-Shanghai-Nanyang all the year round.

In the follow-up, the Elon Transportation Company in San Francisco will also have 5 ships, but it will not be put into operation until the end of the year. Although there is an American Chinese as the general manager in the United States, it is a mascot, and the deployment is unified by Zhu Fan in Ice City.

"Knowing about the Prime Minister, I will quickly generate electricity to ask Citibank in Shanghai to stop the allocation of funds." After Mao Guangting finished speaking, he immediately packed up the things on the table and walked outside.

"Guang Ting, I will reward the Hanyao Chamber of Commerce in the future. This time you made the first contribution of Hanyao in 1910!" Zhu Chuanwen said at the right time.

"The Prime Minister is serious!" Mao Guangting realized that Zhu Chuanwen's anger just now did not seem to be aimed at himself, and then walked outside in peace.

Unknowingly, Zhu Chuanwen's thoughts also made these subordinates elusive.

When Qiao Hongguo came in, his body was wet, and he obviously ran in in the rain all the way, a little embarrassed.

"Hong Guo, how are you doing with the preparations we discussed earlier?" Zhu Chuanwen was leaning on the sofa and muttering, but he was thinking about the little-footed woman before, but he asked about work first.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I am also actively communicating with Shopkeeper Cao. Shopkeeper Cao supports the farmer association, but what is the membership fee?"

"Membership fees are free. In the future, most of the staff of the Farmers' Association will be staffed by the staff of the Zhujia Grain Shop. They are regarded as part-time jobs. An extra silver dollar will be issued every month, and the funds will be allocated by the headquarters."

"I think so too. Collecting membership fees from farmers every year will definitely get resistance."

"Well, you have to take the lead in this matter. Like the Workers' Federation, the initial establishment of the Farmers' Federation will definitely be difficult. Unlike in the city, the vast countryside is your future battlefield. It must be done systematically. First use the more than 500 points of Zhujialiangpu as a pilot.

You start to train the staff of the grain store, the venue, um, I will give you a note to use the classrooms of Hanyao Middle School that have not been put into use. "

"Understood, Prime Minister, look, how about I start to organize the grain that shopkeeper Cao has put into storage this year?"

"Alright! In addition, please check for me. Are there any women with bound feet in all the factories under Hanyao? !” Zhu Chuanwen put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray.

"Expelled directly?" Qiao Hongguo's eyes widened.

"Fire directly!" Zhu Chuanwen emphasized again, "Hong Guo, the Workers' Union is an important link between us and the workers. I know that the work is very difficult, but I remember that the Workers' Union was just established two years ago, the first female union. Membership, I have emphasized the importance of women's work.

Binding feet is a bad habit that even the Qing court has abolished on the face of it, but many people in the Qing court don't think so, and still regard this kind of thing as beautiful.Forging iron requires self-hardening. Hanyao prides itself on being advanced and progressing, so we must always look back and check the documents confirmed by the Hanyao trade union.

I will give you three days for this matter, and organize a manpower investigation as soon as possible. "

"Understood, Prime Minister!" Qiao Hongguo immediately got up and agreed.

"Also, the inspection of the Ice City Sanitation Campaign must be implemented on a regular basis, and the inspection must be implemented in Hanyao workers' families once a week."

Just as he was talking, Zhao Dong hurried in after knocking on the door, "Mr. Prime Minister, shopkeeper Cao urgently calls!"

Cao Dezhong called urgently?

As soon as Zhu Chuanwen heard this, he knew that the bad premonition had finally happened.

[Chief instructor, Cao Dezhong sent a telegram from No. 271 Zhujia Grain Shop. Since September 9th, there have been continuous rainstorms in the three Kanto provinces. There are 12 subordinate grain shop gathering points in the area where No. 271 Grain Shop is located in Kyrgyzstan Province. Did not catch up with the river course combing and hidden danger investigation at the beginning of the year.

At this time, the water level has risen to the highest level in the past 10 years. Dezhong is afraid that the embankment will break in the future, which will lead to rush planting in the later stage, and the grain grains that are about to mature will not be harvested. Farmers move slowly, please teach me. 】
