The Qiao family reached an agreement, and Bai Kuan was also happy. The pressure of setting up a factory on his own was too great, even though his family had strong financial resources. Now that he had the help of the Qiao family, it became easier, and the two sides discussed the matter again.
There are few details. The old lady and Qiao Guangyuan were both older. They drank a few more drinks happily and went to rest first. Qiao Yu was also tired from traveling, so he also went to rest.
Qiao Yu got up early the next day and sorted out his thoughts. He wanted to run the factory and run it well. Only by making it prosperous could he attract more people to run the factory and at the same time expand his circle of interests.
It's even bigger. The Revolution of 1911 will happen in one year. Time waits for no one.
What you have to deal with when setting up a textile factory is raw materials, production, and sales. There is no shortage of raw materials in Sichuan, and the Qiaobai family also has enough channels, so there is no need to worry about sales. Both companies have many cloth shops and silk and satin shops. They can be integrated.
It can become a sales point, and the Chinese people nowadays still prefer domestic products. As long as you can weave cloth of decent quality, you will not have to worry about selling it.
All that's left is to set up the factory. Bai Kuan has already chosen the address and almost all the funds. Let's build the factory first. Once the machines arrive, we can start production. By the way! We also need to have enough technicians.
There is a general shortage. It seems that the only option is to hire foreign technicians for the time being and then train our own technicians in the future.
The next day, Qiao Yu and Bai Kuan discussed some more and settled the matter in general. Then they spent three days sorting out the plan for building the factory, which naturally included many new ideas for later generations. After Bai Kuan read it,
Bai Kuan was amazed by the report, especially the part about how to manage the factory. Bai Kuan was even more impressed.
There are now serious management problems in Chinese factories. Most of them rely on nepotism, rely on family-style operations, use the foreman system in the production workshop, and rely on foremen and supervisors who have no management experience or operating skills to enforce management. These foremen basically have gang backgrounds.
To put it bluntly, it belongs to the underworld. Only in this way can we intimidate workers. Sucking blood from workers is a typical vampire. It is not conducive to improving the enthusiasm of workers, but also intensifies the opposition between factory owners and workers. At the same time, workers are oppressed and production
The quality of the products was not guaranteed. Qiao Yu completely abandoned the foreman link in the plan, and instead used skilled technicians to manage, and formulated a detailed reward and punishment system. The more you work, the more you get, and bonuses are set up on top of the basic salary.
It can effectively improve labor efficiency.
Adopt a meritocratic policy in management, select truly capable people for production management, and implement strict financial systems to avoid corruption and waste.
Bai Kuan has also been in business for many years, and he is very knowledgeable. He immediately realized the benefits of this system and became more and more optimistic about the future of the factory. He was about to return to Chongqing to build a factory. Qiao Yu naturally wanted to go with him, but his father Qiao Guangyuan
But he called him into his room. Qiao Yu was still honest in front of his father. He respected his father Qiao Yu very much. Just because he could get into the high position of the right minister of the household department was enough to prove that his father
Dad is a good dancer and is by no means an idle person, but today the old man seemed a little lonely and said after a while:
"San'er, when dad is old, he just wants to live a peaceful life and nothing else. Do you understand what I'm thinking?"
There was something in the old man's words. Qiao Yu scratched his head for a while. It seemed that he had no flaws, just that he didn't have pigtails. But the old man also knew that he studied military affairs. It would be weird to have big pigtails. Then why did the old man suddenly ask
What do you say?
"San'er, I know that people who have returned from overseas want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a new country. I have been a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty all my life. No one knows what is going on in this court better than me, but I don't want us to get into trouble.
Thief!"….
Qiao Yu listened carefully to the old man's words, and gradually he understood the old man's thoughts. The centuries-old prestige of the Qing Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the foundation of the Qing Dynasty had not been emptied after the Sino-Japanese War, how could it still be maintained?
Well, my father has been studying all his life, so how can he be willing to ruin the name of loyalty and filial piety? This is exactly what many old-school people in this era think.
"Dad, to be honest, I'm very disappointed with the politics of the Qing Dynasty. That's why I don't want to become an official or join the army. I want to set up a factory. However, I have seen what the revolutionary party is abroad. I don't know how to do it."
If I run away from them, I can only try my best to save our family."
"Oh! I'm very happy that you can say that. Over the years, uprisings have continued, and my heart has been churning. Now there are no veterans like Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi, and Zhang Zhidong in the local government. They are all a bunch of incompetent people.
If there is any foolish official who is slightly negligent, once the revolutionary party can achieve success in one or two places, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful!"
When Qiao Yu heard what the old man said, he was immediately shocked. It seems that the political wisdom of people of this era must not be underestimated. Although his father has never been famous in official circles, his foresight is absolutely amazing.
It is exactly the same as the trend of historical development, which is really amazing.
"Dad, what do you think the child should do?"
"What else can you do? Haven't you already thought of a solution yourself? Set up a factory and seize the money. Your second brother is in the army and seize the gun. With these two things, no one can underestimate our family. We have always changed dynasties.
They are all extremely bloody. The old man just hopes that the Qing Dynasty will not fall before I die. San'er, if that day comes, you must promise me not to be the first person to oppose the Qing Dynasty, even if it is me.
I am completely loyal to Long Live!"
Qiao Yu didn't want to be the first to do it, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation. The old man seemed to be relieved, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Qiao Yu lowered his head and thought. The old man pointed out the way for Qiao Yu. In troubled times, it is nothing more than grabbing the money bag with one hand and the gun barrel with the other. It seems that if I have the opportunity, I really need to consult my father more. Don't think I have gained a hundred years.
knowledge, but how to deal with specific matters depends on the experience of the people of this era.
"Dad, I am going to Chongqing with my uncle, and my eldest brother has to raise funds at home. I can't take anyone with me. You always assign a few helpers to the child, and you can't watch the child laugh!"
When the old man heard this, he gently stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "I have made arrangements a long time ago. The housekeeper Qian Tai is an honest man. He has followed me for many years and is good at managing money, so he will be your assistant. In addition, there is no such thing in the world now."
Taiping, if you run such a big factory, you can't guarantee that no one will be jealous. It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. I'll send you five guards. They were all taken in by me when I was in the capital. They turned out to be Nie Shicheng's men. During the Jiawu Year,
We fought with the Japanese. Later, when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Beijing, Nie Shicheng was martyred, and these people fled. Later, I took them in as guards. They are all people who have really seen blood. If you use
Okay, that can be of great help!"
When Qiao Yu heard this, he was ecstatic. What he lacked most now was military talents. His father actually gave him five veterans. He was really thoughtful! He thanked his father in a hurry, talked for a while, and then left.
In the room, Qiao Guang looked at Qiao Yu's back from afar, and sighed in his heart. He could feel a strong ambition from his son, the nature of father and son. Although Qiao Yu had a new soul, he was still affected by the original consciousness in his bones.
Qiao Guangyuan, who is sophisticated in the world, can naturally guess the slightest bit of Qiao Yu's thoughts.
"Shun Qing, the success or failure of our family is all on you!" The old man sighed, then picked up the spring and autumn, and looked through it carefully, as if nothing had happened.
