The founding of this machinery factory is somewhat legendary!
The general manager of Xinglong Factory is Su Yulong. His father Su Daxing is also a businessman. The Su family can be said to be a business family.
Su Yulong originally did business in a foreign company.
Later, he offended the foreigners, and in a rage, he handed in his resignation.
After Su Yulong left the foreign trade company, his father introduced him to Gongxing Iron Factory to solicit business. Gongxing Iron Factory is a private machinery manufacturing factory founded by Xu Fushou, Du Abao, Wang Xingfa and others. It was just a few years after the factory was established.
The business is repairing small steamers, textile machines, etc., and also undertakes iron and sand casting business.
Since the opening of Gongxing, the business has been decent, but it can't be said to be prosperous, it's just maintained. The main reason is that it lacks a person to take on external business. In the past, there were a few people who ran away from home, some were just hanging around, and some were in the country.
Cao Ying's heart was in the Han Dynasty and he couldn't be reused. This time Xu Shoufu heard from Su Daxing that he would send his son who was working in a foreign trade company to run away for him.
He was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He felt like he had found a treasure and thought: It is said that this young man is both shrewd and can speak foreign languages, which is really rare. God bless me, and my wealth will definitely come rolling in from now on. When Su Yulong was neatly dressed
, when he stood in front of him politely, he looked at the young man up and down, fell in love with Su Yulong from the bottom of his heart, and said: "From now on, you will exclusively contact the foreign shipping business. If you go this way, we can make a lot of money for our factory.
Once this errand is completed, I will not treat you badly."
After hearing this, Su Yulong felt that this boss was very discerning.
After Tianjin became a treaty port, foreign ships arrived one after another, and it became very lively. Ships came and went, how could it not be broken? Once the machine broke, the ship had to anchor, how could it not be repaired on the spot? This is called business management
, but it is not easy to truly master and use it well. For the ambitious Xu Fushou, how could he let it go. And Su Yulong, who was born in a business family and has been deeply influenced by it for a long time, and has business talent, has a clear understanding.
Now, the master and the servant are matched in chess and will meet good talents. The foreigners are sure to make money.
Su Yulong had a quick mind and was diligent. Within a few days, he received several deals from foreigners. Xu Fushou rewarded him and put him in more important positions. Gradually, more important matters were handed over to him, and he
Observing carefully from the side and testing him in many ways, Xu Fushou felt that Su Yulong was quite reliable, so he stopped asking him any questions.
The light flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. During this period, Su Yulong's life of working for the public prosperity became more and more prosperous.
Unforeseen circumstances happen, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. A former employee of Gongxing Iron Works named Zhu Shunsheng was fired because of a rift with Xu Fushou. Zhu Shunsheng always held a grudge and always wanted to find opportunities to avenge his past.
Since Su Yulong came to the factory, Gongxing has become more and more prosperous, Xu Fushou's pockets have become more and more bulging, and Zhu Shun was always angry. He thought about it but had nowhere to start. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of Su
Yulon.
I thought that although this person is smart and capable, he is still a young boy. I only know that he is stupid and does not know how to make money. He is a fool. As long as I enlighten him well, I can use his hand to avenge me in the past. This is a brilliant plan.
This method is called borrowing a knife to kill someone. The more Zhu Shunsheng thought about it, the more he became proud of it, so he chose a good and auspicious day to stop Su Yulong on the road, and pulled Su Yulong into a hotel with both soft and hard tactics. Su Yulong had no choice but to accompany him. At the wine table, Zhu Shunsheng was extremely enthusiastic and pushed him
Cup by cup, Su Yulong was drunk until he was drunk. Seeing that the time had come, Zhu Shunsheng persuaded him to join the boss and start his own business.
At first, Su Yulong felt that this was not loyal enough. But after Zhu Shunsheng repeatedly enlightened him, he finally stopped insisting. Seeing that Su Yulong remained silent, Zhu Shunsheng thought that there was a way, and today's money was not wasted. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
I, Zhu Shunsheng, will take my revenge today. It would be unworthy of me not to take revenge.
After Su Yulong and Zhu Shunsheng finalized the deal, they contacted more si work. Zhu Shunsheng had a group of masters who specialized in si work. In this way, the benefits were shared, and he had a lot of money. Su Yulong gradually tasted the benefits, and became more and more
As he became bolder, his feelings for Gongxing also weakened.
Su Yulong never dreamed that the good times would not last long. Not long after, Zhu Shunsheng made the second move to attack Xu Fushou!
He secretly sent someone to tell Xu Fushou what Su Yulong had done: "Boss, there has been less work in Gongxing recently. Have you ever noticed it?"
Xu Fushou asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"
"You are still in the dark. Who in the factory doesn't know? Maybe you are the only one who doesn't know."
When Xu Fushou heard that there was something in Ting Ting's words, he asked, "How do you say this?"
"It is said that there is a person in Cao Ying who has a heart for Han. He takes your money and runs away, but he makes money and stuffs it into his own pocket. If this continues, Gongxing will become his."
After hearing this, Xu Fushou was a little dubious. After thinking for a long time, he said with a serious face: "Don't talk nonsense in the future. Su Yulong works hard all day long, running around here and there to care about public welfare. Some people are willing to be jealous of others. How can this be reasonable?"
Xu Fushou said this, but he was muttering in his heart. He began to observe carefully, and sure enough he found something was wrong, and he almost fainted from anger.
When I calmed down, after careful consideration, I felt that Su Yulong was a rare talent. The young man spoke fluent foreign language, had a flexible mind, and had strong ability to do things. There was no one in the whole factory who could compare with him. The young man was young, so it was inevitable that he had some faults. Maybe
Money was tight, so I had no choice but to think about it and decided to talk to Su Daxing. Su Daxing was a smart man. If he came forward to teach me, Su Yulong would definitely change his ways.
Immediately he found his old friend: "Brother Su, you are doing well these days!"
When Su Daxing saw Xu Fushou's sudden visit, some monks were confused. He guessed that Su Yulong must be in trouble, so he asked: "My dear friend, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing happened. I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time, so I came to see Brother Su."
"How is the dog doing lately?"
"My good nephew is smart and capable, but he is naughty. Please ask Brother Su to teach him."
After hearing this, Su Daxing knew in his heart that his son had never made any big mistakes. He thought that he could only make progress if he was unwilling to stay under others for a long time. "In love and on the battlefield, you should use any means." When his son studied in the UK, he brought him back
This British proverb is extremely insightful. Thinking of this, Su Daxing couldn't help but smile slightly and just pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Xu Fushou hinted at Su Daxing over and over again, but to no avail, so he had no choice but to decide to teach Su Yulong a lesson in person and give him a warning to prevent him from becoming emboldened. Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, Su Yulong had been prepared, and Xu Fushou shut up with a few words.
Silent. Before he could react, Su Yulong had already walked away.
At this time, Su Yulong was in an extremely complicated mood. His relationship with Gongxing broke down, and the plan he had been brewing for a long time was finally put into action. This was the excitement he had never felt in his life. He would be self-reliant, the master of his own country, and no longer dependent on others.
Controlled by others, he longs to break into society alone and use his wisdom and strength to do something big. This is the first major event in his life. This matter is like a priceless jewel placed in front of him, with brilliance
Eye-catching. He decided to take it, but he knew that it would take a lot of effort, and maybe even if he spent all his money, he might not succeed. Although he decided, he still had some concerns about failure. There were many difficulties in front of him, and although he had some confidence in soliciting business
There are some ways, but he is not familiar enough with the production technology. In addition, he has insufficient funds and it is difficult to set up a factory as a sole proprietor. What makes him even more headache is how to explain the whole matter to his father. So, all kinds of complicated thoughts came to him
In his mind, he was sometimes happy and sometimes worried. He didn't pay attention to everything around him. He was immersed in his own thoughts and stood there for a long time.
In fact, Su Yulong's worries were completely unnecessary. His father did not mean to blame at all, but seemed to show approval. The old man had seen through Su Yulong's little tricks long ago, but he just didn't want to interfere, so he indulged and encouraged him to this day.
After all, the Su family is a comprador family. It has been in contact with foreigners for a long time, and has been immersed in Western customs intentionally or unintentionally. The family atmosphere not only retains the traditional Chinese patriarchal dignity, but also is relatively democratic.
Although Su Daxing had the majesty of a parent, he was never overbearing and overbearing. Instead, he allowed the children to develop according to their personalities.
Seeing that his father was so knowledgeable, Su Yulong didn't want to hide anything from him, so he told his father all about his plans.
It turned out that Su Yulong had already successfully negotiated with blacksmith Chu Xiaomao, and the two jointly set up a factory, with each paying 2,500 taels. Chu Xiaomao was born as a blacksmith, was proficient in craftsmanship, and handled rough things with fine details!
When the meeting was held, Chu Xiaomao insisted that he should find someone for the accounting. Su Yulong understood Chu Xiaomao's intention and readily agreed. Boss Gongxing was a man of old, and he was always under my control.
What's more, you are a rough guy? I can work with you today just to lend you a favor, how can I do that?
After hearing his son's plan, Su Daxing felt that not only was there a shortage of funds, but there were many things that needed to be solved. Jiang was still old, so Su Daxing was very resourceful and invited his father-in-law and uncles to help him.
Things went as Su Daxing wished, and everyone helped solve most of Su Yulong's problems.
Su Yulong's father-in-law agreed to help Yiyi.
Uncle Su Xiaoping was responsible for importing machinery from abroad in the name of her husband, Mao Yang Company; other relatives also promised to do what they could.
Everything went smoothly. Su Yulong came forward to rent two bungalows for use as temporary workshops.
At the same time, seven skilled workers and four apprentices were recruited, and business relationships were established with Yitai Ginning Factory and Deshang Laohu Silk Factory run by Mu Xianghuang. At first, because there was no equipment, they were engaged in some simple odd jobs.
of repair.
Soon, the machines ordered from abroad by my husband Mao Yang Company arrived, including eight lathes, one bullhead planer and gantry planer, and a set of 20-horsepower cement stove and engine equipment. After the equipment was installed, it became apparent that
The factory building is no longer sufficient for use.
Su Yulong went to his father again to discuss the matter. Su Daxing thought for a long time and said: "I bought a piece of land on Pingliang Road the year before last, about two and a half acres, with twelve iron-clad bungalows, which have not been put into use yet."
Su Yulong couldn't wait to say: "How about the father renting it to his son first?"
Su Daxing nodded and smiled: "Of course. It's just a lease, and the rent is paid monthly. Family is family, wealth is wealth, we must be clear about it. Do you understand?"
Su Yulong Nonolian claimed "yes".
Thus, "Xinglong" Machinery Factory was officially opened!!.
