Chapter 515 Trouble Finally Comes
On September 51, 26 years of Kangxi, the old man issued an edict to approve the invention promotion plan of the Ministry of Industry played by Hong Qing. Immediately, the huge machines of the Ministry of Industry started to run at high speed. The smelting workshop began to be upgraded. With the support of huge amounts of money, the progress was extremely rapid. At the same time, two construction sites in the northern suburbs of Beijing were also under intense construction. The toothpaste factory and the match factory were to be built. As for the manufacturing warehouse The affiliated research institute was expanded again, and a huge house was built in the western suburbs as the office location of the research institute. On the third day of February 52, Kangxi, it publicly recruited talents who are interested in scientific research from the whole country through newspapers. At that time, the government and the public were sensationalized, but the sensation was a sensation, but there were very few applicants who applied for the examination at the Ministry of Industry. There was nothing else, but it was the Confucian thinking that despised technology. Even if the recruitment conditions issued by the research institute It is very rich, but it has not achieved any results.

The recruitment notice of the research institute failed to achieve any real effect, and some noises inevitably appeared in the court, but Hong Qing didn't care at all, nothing else, because this situation was already in Hong Qing's expectation He didn't expect that this recruitment notice could really recruit many talents, what he wanted was the sensational effect generated by this recruitment notice, in order to pave the way for the next step of work, and to get matches and other light workers. After the product was successfully introduced to the market, Hongqing had its own means to attract talents from all over the world to vote.

On the fifth day of March in Kangxi 52, after more than half a year of intensive construction, the toothpaste factory was announced to be completed, and the trial production was successful the next day. On the sixth day, the construction of the match factory was also completed, and the trial production was also successful. After testing, Hongqing did not rush to bring these products to the market, but made careful arrangements for an instant hit.

On the third day of May in the 52nd year of Kangxi, after nearly two months of preparations, the two factories affiliated to the Ministry of Industry finally launched their products on the market. Using the huge marketing network of "Kirin Company", they were listed in large and medium-sized cities across the country almost at the same time. Instead of selling them right away, they launched the three products to the market grandly and grandly in the form of on-site exhibitions and giving small samples as gifts. With a large number of relevant reports, of course, and the refined tributes sent to the palace were not forgotten, the propaganda offensive can be described as overwhelming.

Fire, fire!Under such a sharp publicity campaign, the people who have never seen such a battle are all attracted by the three small commodities. Regardless of whether they have received gifts or not, they are discussing this matter. The three small commodities have not yet been officially sold. , has become famous all over the world, all kinds of merchants moved after hearing the news, and crowded the branches of "Kirin Company", all of them came to inquire about prices, and many even offered to underwrite sales in one place. , The answers received are generally the same, that is, "Kirin Firm" has no right to make decisions on these three commodities, and all those who want to invest in these three commodities must go to the Ministry of Industry to negotiate in person.

The capital is far away, and the sea is deep in the Yamen. Obviously, it is not something ordinary people dare to touch. The merchants who are not strong enough in various places have basically extinguished their desire to compete, but there are still many merchants who think they are strong. The purpose of rushing to the capital is to snatch the management rights of these small commodities in the first place, not to mention those big merchants with backgrounds in the capital, they almost mobilized all the relationships that can be mobilized When I got up, it was so noisy that the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry rarely had a free time.

Under the changing situation, many officials of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help being a little flustered when they were excited. Come on, especially those high-ranking doctors in the palm of the hand were annoyed to the point of annoyance, but the person in charge was Hong Qing. Qing interceded, and under the hardships, complaints inevitably arose.

Although no one dared to complain in front of Hong Qing, the chaotic situation in the Ministry of Industry was obvious, and Hong Qing couldn't possibly fail to see it, but Hong Qing was not in a hurry, and let out a third fire—— Once again, a large advertisement was published in the "Jingshi Times", claiming that on the first day of June, an investment promotion conference will be held at the Manufacturing Depot Research Institute in the western suburbs of the Jingshi. More than [-] inventions will be launched at the same time, but all interested merchants can participate in the fair competition, and there is only one requirement-bring sufficient bank notes!
As soon as the advertisement came out, the whole world was shaken. The big businessmen from all over the world who were still waiting and watching could not sit still this time. You must know that these are nearly thirty inventions. Not to mention the sensation caused by toothpaste and matches, just say that they were The original "Kirin Company" has developed into a giant with such semicolons that almost spread all over the country just by relying on soap. "Successful, ever since, the world's wealthy businessmen have dispatched one after another, gathering from all directions to the capital.

"My lord, Qian Dagui, the treasurer of 'Fengkai Company' in Anhui, has rushed to the capital!"

"My lord, Wan Shunhe, the shopkeeper of Liangjiang' Yuanfeng Company, has left for the capital!"

"My lord, Jinling's wealthy businessman, Shunyuan Company; the shopkeeper Qi Dakai has left Jinling and is on his way to the capital!"

……

With the existence of "Sharp Knife" and "Kirin Firm", Hongqing's eyes and ears can be said to be all over the country. It can be said that the movements of those famous and famous merchants in the mall are all under Hongqing's control. " was released in various places, and most of the big businessmen lost their minds. Regardless of whether they really intended to invest or not, they all rushed to the capital. The good news came one after another, which was really exciting.

"My lord, Kang Wanming, the treasurer of 'Risheng Bank' in Shanxi, Xiao Lufeng, the treasurer of 'Huicun Bank', and Wang Dayou, the treasurer of 'Heshun Bank' in Jinan, Shandong, have all arrived in Beijing in secret. , and even discussed closely with the central bank doctor Echun, according to inside information, six bank managers have collected 500 million taels of silver notes, and plan to jointly contract all the projects of the Ministry of Industry."

It is impossible for things to be smooth sailing in the world, and the good news always follows one after another, followed by the bad news. No, this morning, Hong Qing just arrived at the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Size came here in disguise. It's just that this time it didn't bring good news.

"Oh? Is the news true?"

Hearing Liu Size's words, Hong Qing's heart sank immediately, nothing else, the funds that these shopkeepers can mobilize are too huge, and the network of relationships is also astonishingly large, if they really join hands to bid , really no one can compete with them. The problem is that after these guys have won so many projects, they may not be in a hurry to put them into production, at least not all of them will be put into production. The idea of ​​obtaining funds for water control and road construction is bound to have the possibility of bankruptcy. Thinking about the role of the central bank in it, it will inevitably give Hong Qing a headache. He just asked quietly.

"Returning to the lord, the news should be true. It is what Xiao Lufeng, the treasurer of the 'Huicun Bank', said personally. Xiao Yifeng, the accountant steward who is waiting in front of him, is a member of my gang. His subordinates have sent more people. Keep an eye on those money rats."

The matter was so important, Liu Size didn't dare to be vague, so he hurriedly reported the source of the news.

"Well, strictly monitor, don't startle the snake, let's go."

Liu Size is Hong Qing's absolute confidant, Hong Qing can trust his words, and she will not continue to ask questions endlessly, so she waved her hand and said calmly.

"twitter!"

Liu Size has been following Hong Qing for many years, so he is aware of the importance of this matter, so he dared not delay, so he hastily responded and left in a hurry.

Things get tricky!
Don't look at Hong Qing's face that seems to be calm as usual, but in fact, his heart is already boiling, nothing else, because he knows very well that the reason why the bank bosses acted like this is certainly driven by profit factors, but more I'm afraid that Hongli played tricks in it. As for whether Ba Ye's side is also involved, it's hard to predict, but no matter what the situation on Ba Ye's side is, the current situation alone is enough for Hong Qing to have a headache—— Although Hongli has never gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry, he is still an assistant. He has stayed in the Ministry of Industry for several years. One party's handprint doctor is there, and the movement in the Ministry of Industry can definitely be concealed from him. Obviously, the bidding documents have probably been known to Hong Qing, otherwise, he would not have made such a bidding conspiracy.

How to do?
The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the open. The situation is obviously not very favorable. The bosses of the bank are not only rich, but also have a lot of people. , but if you want to reject this gang of money rats, you have to have a reason, right?Hard blocking is definitely not an option, if you really reject this group of people's nominations, bullets will fly all over the sky, and you can't stop them—those bank bosses only need to find some spokespersons to be shortlisted, and it will be enough for the business invitation Thoroughly stir it up!
"Come on!"

Hong Qing wandered back and forth in the office for quite a while, but she still couldn't come up with a clue. Just when she was upset and irritable, a thought suddenly flashed into her mind, and her body suddenly stopped, and she was already a little bit nervous. He made a point of view, but when he saw the corner of Hong Qing's mouth twitch, he already showed a playful smile.

"The end is here!"

With Hong Qing's greeting, Li Minxing, who was waiting outside the door, didn't dare to neglect him, and hurried in from behind the screen, and answered the promise loudly.

"Go, ask Shen Shilang to come here immediately."

Hong Qing didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order straightforwardly.

"twitter!"

Li Minxing responded respectfully, then turned around, strode out of the office, and went to invite people without mentioning it.
