But even Hu Weidong himself did not expect that this Osaka native named Kato Kiyogen is very courageous (it is true that Osaka people are afraid of death, but they dare to take risks when doing business) and he is very good at doing business. As long as Hu Weidong did not expressly prohibit it,
He dared to do anything. Later, he actually made instant noodles the standard field food for the Japanese army. The instant noodle factory he ran even became the designated supplier of the Japanese army and made a lot of money. But this guy later became obsessed with China.
The leader explained, "The root cause of the Japanese army's poor logistics is that it is not taken seriously. A mere field ration will not be of much help. Moreover, if the Japanese officers and soldiers bring more food, the number of disasters to the Chinese people will be somewhat less. Besides, we control
After the Japanese army's rations are supplied, we can manipulate them at any time as long as the commander deems it necessary. Imagine that an elite Japanese field division had collective diarrhea just after joining the battle..."
Hu Weidong also learned about this later, and couldn't help but secretly murmured, "Sure enough, traitors are more hateful than enemies...". Despite this, Hu Weidong still acquiesced in Kato Kiyogen's approach, which can not only make money but also make money from time to time.
Why not do it if the devil has a hand? Anyway, food safety in this era is far less important than later generations. As long as it is done cleanly and the hand is measured, the devil may not be able to realize that there is a problem with the instant noodles...
In addition, the popularity of instant noodles in Japan also had a chain effect, which was to promote the polyethylene and other plastic film industries that would not develop rapidly until after World War II (in fact, the technology of polyethylene was relatively mature in 1936,
The reason why the scale of production is not large is because there is not much market demand. As long as there is a market, this industry can develop quickly.), but all kinds of plastic films require oil as the basic raw material. The world oil price has therefore sharply increased.
The rise has caused Japan to face the dilemma of oil shortage earlier than in history...
After solving the sources of soldiers and money, the Japanese Communist Party, whose members could not even sit at a round table at one time, finally had hope. Hu Weidong also proposed the idea of a "united front", allowing these Japanese comrades to focus their efforts on the main enemy -
——The dictatorial and aggressive Japanese warlords, especially the Japanese Army Ministry, try their best to fight for the middle forces such as the bourgeois democrats, at least to neutralize them. Even for the conflicts between the Japanese army and navy, they should also
Take advantage of it
.These highly targeted suggestions enabled the Japanese Communist Party to develop at an unprecedented speed. Although it is still far behind the rising Chinese Red Party, it is enough to provide more and more help to China's war of resistance.
Due to Hu Weidong's advance layout, Nosaka Sanzo and other international factions in the Japanese Communist Party were completely marginalized. The leadership of the Japanese Communist Party has always been firmly in the hands of those pro-China factions who have been trained by the Anti-Japanese University. This will produce extremely important consequences in the future.
Far-reaching impact...
Although the Japanese military's control over the country exceeded Hu Weidong's imagination, and the Japanese Communist Party still failed to grow to the point he expected, it was still hundreds of times stronger than in history, and it also helped China's war of resistance.
Far from being comparable to the Japanese Communist Party, which historically was limited to propaganda and intelligence...
For safety reasons, Hu Weidong and others only stayed in Japan for more than ten days. Then they took a boat to the most important destination of their trip, the United States. Even so, when they arrived in San Francisco, it was already late September.
At this time, the precursors of the economic crisis in 1937 had appeared, but there were not many targets worthy of acquisition. Hu Weidong also happened to use this time to do some other work. The first was to ask to meet the leader of the Chinese in America--the strange man of the Republic of China, Situ Meitang.
...
Hu Weidong has always had no good impression of people in the underworld, but Situ Meitang is an exception, because the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States has not been repealed. Otherwise, the Chinese cannot protect themselves, and they are selling goods in the country with Du Yuesheng and others.
The scourge of drugs
Compared with Chinese people, Hongmen overseas at least never harmed the motherland (or motherland), and even extended a helping hand to the suffering domestic people time and time again. Hu Weidong clearly remembered that during the Anti-Japanese War in history, the overseas Chinese in North America took them as their
quarter
All of them were donated to the country, and countless young people returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War in various ways. Situ Meitang contributed a lot to this. Therefore, Hu Weidong showed great respect for this legendary old man who was nearly seventy years old, which made him
Situ Meitang, who admired Hu Weidong very much because of the Anti-Japanese War in North China, became fond of him and naturally agreed to introduce him to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had been his legal adviser in the past and was now the president of the United States.
.....
Hu Weidong knew very well that in the business empire of the United States, the president was just a puppet of major financial groups, but this was only a relative term. Moreover, Roosevelt gained unprecedented prestige after leading Americans out of the Great Depression, and his influence on the United States was even a behind-the-scenes control.
The super consortiums in the United States cannot be ignored. Besides, Hu Weidong just hopes to use his power to ensure that some patents are not hacked by others, and this does not include hugely profitable commodities like penicillin. Roosevelt can still do this.
Although Roosevelt had a relationship with Situ Meitang, after becoming president, everything had to be based on the interests of the United States, and personal feelings had to be put second. However, Hu Weidong's request was reasonable and reasonable, and for the country that is currently in decline again
The U.S. economy will also get a lot of help, so Roosevelt is still willing to help. However, although he is the president of the United States, he can only guarantee that the patent application will be approved as soon as possible, but he cannot promise Hu Weidong or that after his death
The forces of the Chinese government can really get the huge benefits that these patents should bring, because those large consortiums can directly copy the villages regardless of the restrictions of the patent rights. Although in theory Hu Weidong can litigate with them, with the energy of those large consortiums, he can
Let the lawsuit be long enough to drag on the plaintiff's bankruptcy or even the end of the patent protection period, and all of this will be legal, unless Hu Weidong can find a backer or ally who can compete with them...
"Ford Company?" The more Hu Weidong thought about it, the more he felt that this suggestion made sense. Jewish consortiums like Rockefeller and Morgan had very good calculations, and there were some connections between these Jewish consortiums. It was not impossible for them to join forces to lower prices. As a
The Chinese, who are already very weak in the United States, will definitely suffer great losses when negotiating with them. But Old Ford is different. He is better called an industrialist than a capitalist.
It is more appropriate, and his business philosophy centered on "profit sharing" is even more unique in this era. If he cooperates with Ford, the price offered by the other party should be much more reasonable. In addition, the old Ford himself is still a technical geek.
He should be able to see the true value of his patents better than businessmen like Rockefeller and Morgan... (This site...your support is my biggest motivation.)
