Afterwards, Qin Di called the general manager of Mingzhou Home Textiles over.

The general manager is named "Li Anqing", with a thin face, a baseball cap and a leather jacket.

He once studied in the United States and after returning to China, he worked as the manager of the "Dasheng Textile Factory". He was not old and was just over 40 years old.

Qin Di smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I invite you here to ask you something: Is it possible to produce suit fabrics such as cashmere, flannel, tweed and linen in China?"

Li Anqing shook his head: "It's hard, it's too difficult! These things require special craftsmanship. It takes a lot of money to purchase new machinery, and it may not necessarily get qualified products."

Qin Di said: "I have sufficient funds, so purchasing new machinery is not a problem."

Li Anqing still shook his head: "No! Mr. Qin, now is not the time to launch new machinery! If you have time, please listen to me and I will tell you the current dilemma of the textile industry!"

"Okay, say, I'll listen!"

"Mr. Qin, you may not know that in recent years, the textile business has been difficult to do because of the deliberate squeeze from Japan... According to the information I have, there are currently 60 textile factories in the entire Magic City, and the Japanese account for half of the world! There are 30,000 looms, 8,700 Chinese factories, while there are 17,000 Japanese factories... 2.66 million spindles, the Japanese control 50%. If the British, American and Russian merchants are abandoned, Chinese only account for 30%... I think it is not important to produce cashmere, the most important thing is to protect the cotton textile industry, which is the key to national safety..."

Qin Di couldn't help frowning when he heard this and asked, "The Japanese are so ignorant? Why do they open so many yarn mills in the Demon City? What do they mean? What bad intentions do they have?"

Lee Anqing explained: "Because Japan produces very little cotton and China is a big cotton producer, Japan has built factories in the Magic City, not only consuming our cotton, but also trying hard to exploit our workers! Whether it is the clothes of Japanese civilians or the clothing of Japanese troops, they are inseparable from the cotton textile mills in the Magic City..."

Qin Di was a little depressed: "Apart from the Magic City, isn't the domestic cotton textile industry very difficult?"

"Yes, the Magic City, Qingdao, and Tianjin are the three major textile industry clusters in China. In addition, there are some small textile factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they are all in trouble at the moment... In the final analysis, foreigners control customs, Japanese warships cruising in the Yangtze River, and the whole country is full of holes..."

Hearing this, Qin Di has lost the interest in industrial upgrading! China cannot even protect its basic cotton textiles! What other high-end suit fabrics are there? Didn’t it pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon?

He chatted with Li Anqing for a while, thought carefully, and decided to move the textile factory as soon as possible. Even if he did not move the original factory, he would build another Mingzhou home textile in the western region!

Because once the war starts, the Magic City, Tianjin and Qingdao are all in the hands of the Japanese, and the people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas will be very hard, and I am afraid they can't even buy cotton!

So, from this day on, Qin Di carefully considered preparing for war and famine.

Logically speaking, textiles involve national plans and should be considered by the government of the Republic of China, but Mr. Qing is unable to control it, and no one in the Qingbai Party will care! Since Qin Di robbed a lot of money, he should also contribute some efforts to the country!

He appointed his subordinate Sun Sheng to Chengdu to build a large textile factory in Jinguan City.

Why was it built in Chengdu? Because Chengdu has many people and it is easy to recruit female workers with basic education. Moreover, during the war, Chengdu was not bombed by the Japanese, while Chongqing was bombarded for several years.

Originally, Qin Di wanted to build a textile factory in Dukou City, but the Dukou City was located in Xikang, which was too remote. Moreover, there was a large steel factory there, which could not be fully attracted the attention of the Japanese, so he sent planes to bombard several times.

Qin Di was not sure about the Japanese plane's voyage and did not want to put the eggs in a basket.

In addition, he also sent Zhou Ming to Chongqing to build large real estate on the north side of Cathay Pharmaceutical Factory, and it is necessary to dig more air-raid shelters.

At the beginning, Cathay Pharmaceutical established a branch in Chongqing, and the location it chose was relatively remote, on the east side of Gele Mountain in the west of the city, surrounded by many forests and green trees.

According to Qin Di's estimate, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, his mother Zhu Wan and sister Qin Ling would eventually go to Chongqing because they both had official identities and were outstanding representatives of Chinese women. They could not escape to the deep mountains and forests, nor could they stay in the demon city, and fell into the clutches of the Japanese.

Just imagine, Zhu Wan is the honorary president of the Central Academy of Sciences, and Qin Ling is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health! If the Japanese fight over, wouldn’t it be a shame to their personal image? In any case, they should also be in charge of Chongqing to inspire the national spirit and contribute to the War of Resistance!

Although Chongqing suffered bombardment by Japanese aircraft, it was mainly because of the huge losses in the past two years. Later, the early warning system was established, and the losses were greatly reduced.

Qin Di instructed Zhou Ming to build a large area of ​​private houses in Gele Mountain, and to build several special houses, which look ordinary on the outside and are comfortable and luxurious on the inside. In particular, the air raid shelter should be built into the mountain rocks, so that air bombs should not be blown through!

Soon, Zhou Ming arrived in Chongqing and, in accordance with his request, hired more than 300 construction workers, bought a large area of ​​mountain land, and dug silently.

Because there are many workers working, it has attracted people's attention.

The people around him felt strange and came to inquire and see what they were doing.

Some people think they are digging ancient tombs, and rumors spread like wildfire and caused a lot of controversy.

Warlord Yang Sen received a report and sent someone to inquire.

Zhou Ming had no choice but to go and explain, saying that the Qin family was going to build a large pharmaceutical factory here, and after it was put into production in the future, they would not forget the general's benefits.

In fact, as a Sichuan warlord, Yang Sen had private contact with the Qin family in order to buy medicine from Cathay Pharmaceutical, and was not unfamiliar with each other. In addition, the Qin family made great efforts to rescue the Sichuan earthquake, and the newspapers evaluated it very high, so when he heard that the Qin family built a factory, he instructed his subordinates to green lights all the way and no one could stop him.

While Qin Di was building a large amount of construction, he also purchased a large amount of cotton, flax, grain, sugar and cooking oil from abroad.

The money he snatched from the three eastern provinces back then, except for the unused gold bricks, was spent little by little and converted into reserve materials. In the future, these things will inevitably be given back to the people of the Kuomintang-controlled areas.

He did these things and didn't even want to make money. He couldn't spend all the money in his hands. Why should he exploit the people of his own country? Wouldn't it be more interesting to have the ability to go to the international market and make money from foreigners?

And not only these materials, when the new China is founded in the future, he will hand over all the gold he stolen to the national treasury!

He will not keep things that he should not enjoy.

And he has already occupied too much wealth with Cathay Pharmaceutical Factory and his investment in the United States.

As a cultivator, making money is equivalent to playing games. Even if he doesn’t have a penny, he can make a lot of money at the Hong Kong racecourse out of thin air.
