Several Japanese generals filed out of the Army Ministry. Tojo Hideki said angrily, "It's too childish for a general to be dismissed from his post on the spot. Do we still have the dignity of a samurai? The Army's
How can I maintain my level?”
The naval admiral Yamamoto Isoroku next to him laughed and said, "I think General Ishihara did a good job. If you lose the battle, you will naturally be punished. It seems that our navy's discipline is relatively strict. Your army actually thinks that the battle is lost."
There is no need to take responsibility, oh! No wonder the army has been reporting "frequent successes" in China recently."
Tojo Hideki shouted fiercely, "General Sugiyama Gen is because he has too few troops. If there were enough troops, how could the Third Army be defeated?"
"Hahaha, it's really funny to deal with some guerrillas and even say that they don't have enough troops. The army is going back more and more. I wonder if the generals of the past would cry sadly when they see today's army." Isao Yamamoto
Liu shook his head, greeted several naval admirals, and left with a smile.
Tojo stamped his feet angrily and was about to leave. A general grabbed Tojo and said, "Tojo-kun, have you heard?"
Tojo Hideki looked at that person, but it was Harem Jun. He asked doubtfully, "What did you hear?"
Harem Chun looked around and whispered, "I don't know where the news came from, saying that those of us who refused to go north are traitors of the Army and spies of the Navy."
Harem Jun is an alumnus of Tojo Hideki. In 1935, he strongly recommended Tojo to be the commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army. Tojo Hideki used this as a springboard to start his attack on Japan's highest power center.
of.
Tojo Hideki was startled. You must know that the dispute between the navy and the army is already a secret known to everyone. No matter what, the army will support the navy if it is opposed to it, and the navy will support the navy if the army opposes it. People who are said to be in the navy, this
How can the Army's Tojo Hideki still mess around?
Tojo Hideki cursed, "What bastard is talking nonsense? This is completely unfounded. How can any fool believe it?"
Harem Chun sighed, "What they said is very logical. Who will be the main force going north? That is our army. Once going north becomes a national policy, more funds will be invested in our army. You also know that whether we are artillery or
Tanks and aircraft have been found to be deficient in actual combat and are in urgent need of supplements and updates. This all requires money. It is said that Ishihara suggested that His Majesty put more money into the research and development and update of weapons, especially our army, and if we go south, it is the navy.
For the sake of the Lord, our army will become a stepmother when the time comes. More money will be turned into battleships."
"Baga!! It's ridiculous to actually link international strategy with a period like this! They never thought that what we need now is oil! It's rubber! It's steel! It's resources? This matter won't happen like this
It's over, let's go, let's go discuss it together." Tojo Hideki looked at the door of the War Department fiercely, pulled Harem Jun and said.
——Yan'an
Gan Dounan was one of the many small factory owners who came to Yan'an from Shanghai. His product was not only high-tech but also extremely in short supply in Yan'an at this time, that is, thermos bottles.
The history of thermoses can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, but the modern thermos was invented by the British scientist Dewar in 1900. Thermoses were commonplace in China in later generations, but at this time they were still rare items in China, and most of them were imported from foreign countries.
, was called the "magic bottle" by the common people at that time.
It was the Germans who first introduced thermos bottles to China. Later, the Japanese opened a thermos bottle factory in the concession in Shanghai, gradually overpowering Germany and becoming the largest manufacturer.
By the end of the 1920s, Chinese businessmen began to realize the importance of domestic product production and were no longer willing to just act as compradors. At this time, Gan Dounan established one of the earliest thermos bottle factories, the Lixing Thermos Bottle Factory, which was named after his determination to revitalize domestic products.
Yi. At the same time, there were also the Chicken Ball brand from the same aluminum factory, the Liuhai brand from the Hanchang factory, the Zeze brand from the Guangming factory, etc. Among them were the billet factory and the bottle factory, as well as the shell factory. They purchased each other and matched them into thermos bottles for sale.
There are only two full-scale production factories, Guangming and Lixing.
In 1932, Gan Dounan changed his brand name to "Great Wall" and added the words "domestic product" on the trademark, and the text was also changed to official script, which led to a rapid increase in the sales of his products.
By the mid-1930s, the Great Wall thermos bottle had become a popular product across the country, and many businessmen even followed the trend and took names such as Jincheng thermos, Xiangcheng thermos, and Yangcheng thermos. However, after the war between China and Japan, Gan Dounan's factory was in Hongkou.
District, the Japanese naval guns not only covered Gan Dounan's thermos bottle factory, but all the machinery, equipment and raw materials were destroyed. His workers were even caught on the street and shot one by one. The people of the Japanese thermos bottle factory next to him naturally laughed.
Extremely proud. Only Gan Dounan was protected by a few loyal workers and left in tears. Later, Gan Dounan wanted to go to Nanjing, Wuhan, and stayed in Shanghai to wait for the end of the war. Just when he was hesitant, he was arrested.
Yu Qiaqing came to Yan'an and was persuaded to come to Yan'an. He found that not only was this place far away from the war zone, but it also had clear politics and encouraged industry and commerce. There were so many skilled workers who didn't know where they came from, and many factories were being built here. He immediately geared up to start building projects in Yan'an.
Reopen the factory.
At this time, 80% of the thermos bottles in the entire border area were produced by his New Great Wall Thermos Bottle Factory. At this time, it not only had nearly a hundred employees, but also became a member of the border area council.
Today, Gan Dounan is planning a big event. Although the supply of thermos bottles exceeds the demand, the price has remained high due to the low yield. Gan Dounan thought about it and prepared to learn from the arsenal and set up a quality inspection department to collect the losses of each processing department one by one.
Inspect, analyze the reasons, implement responsibilities, and find ways to increase the yield rate.
While Gan Dounan was writing and painting, his wife walked in in a panic and said, "Dounan, did you offend any leader outside? There are several soldiers who want to see you, and they have already come in.
Sitting outside."
Gan Dounan was a little surprised, but he was not afraid and said, "Don't worry, we haven't offended anyone this year, and the Yan'an officials haven't given us any trouble. I'll go take a look. You stay in the back room." He was about to open the door.
He said with some worry, "But they are the Red Party after all. Maybe they want us to hand over the factory to public ownership because of our booming business. This is not impossible, but I must be responsible for their shareholders' money."
Yes, if something happens, I put some money under the big locust tree behind the factory, and you can take it out and go abroad."
His wife quickly tried to catch him, but he threw her away, straightened his clothes and walked out. He stretched out his hand to the only young man sitting and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was writing something and I neglected you."
, I wonder what this comrade is worth doing?"
The young man was Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Uncle Gan, just call me 203. If you consider Boss Yu as your elder, then you are one generation above me. I call Boss Yu the old man. You see me calling him like this?"
Are you still suitable?"
203? Listening to this strange name, Gan Dounan nodded calmly and said with a smile, "So you also know Boss Yu, so we are a family. I didn't know who you are?"
Jiang Cheng turned around and asked Li Qian to take out the things he had prepared, handed them to Gan Dounan and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. We have just introduced the latest thermos bottle production line. We want to invest in your Great Wall Thermos Bottle Factory and find a way to make it possible for people including Shanxi to invest in it."
The whole area inside can be equipped with a hot water bottle."
When Gan Dounan heard that he was here to discuss cooperation and not to rob, he immediately felt relieved and said, "Of course I welcome investment, but the equity of our factory is raised by all parties, and part of it is invested by local towns and villages."
If the central government wants to invest, how will the shares be calculated? Moreover, this matter cannot be decided by me alone. I will also ask other shareholders."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I know that the Great Wall Factory can now produce 50,000 thermos bottles a year, but this is still too few, and the price is too high. A thermos bottle actually costs one yuan. The thermos bottle blowing machine I brought can
The speed of the five-pound outer bottle blowing machine can reach 58 seconds per turn, and the inner bottle can reach 48 seconds per turn. One set of machines can produce 1,800 thermos bottles a day, and the annual output can be as high as 650,000. And here I am
There are ten of them, and the annual output can reach more than six million. In fact, even without you, with these production lines, you can basically monopolize the entire thermos bottle market."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!" Gan Dounan stood up excitedly and said, "Even before the war started, the output of all 56 factories in the country did not reach two million per year. You must know that the yield rate of thermos bottles is extremely low.
Our Great Wall is the most experienced factory. One hundred glass blanks can only produce about 20 finished products. You must not have calculated the yield, and how do you solve the problem of materials and raw materials? Industry is not about you having machines.
It can be done. It is a production chain from beginning to end. The glass factory, silver nitrate factory, and alkali production plant all need to increase production. Can they keep up?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Gan, don't be excited. Of course I am fully prepared when I come. The increase in production of the glass factory, silver nitrate factory, and alkali production plant is also in our plan, and we have many manufacturing methods."
Great innovations, such as the one-time embryo molding process, the drawing process, and the temperature measurement process. Not to mention other things, the learning materials for these technologies alone weigh more than three tons. Of course, these production lines cannot all be placed in the Great Wall. They can only be
Half of the time, there will be a factory in Shanxi, so I’ll just talk about the general situation here. Let’s first talk about Mr. Gan, are you willing for us to take a stake?”
Gan Dounan said like a frustrated ball, "If you really have such technology, you can open your own factory. Why do you need my Great Wall?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Firstly, because the brand value of Mr. Gan's Great Wall is worthy of our investment, and secondly, because you have many experienced skilled workers here. I have always believed that machines are dead, but workers are the living ones.
The same machine will produce absolutely different effects in the hands of different people." Jiang Cheng looked at Gan Dounan and said, "What's more important is that with an experienced manager like Uncle Gan, I believe our Great Wall can be
Really become bigger and stronger.”
Gan Dounan nodded and said, "I will try my best to convince my investors. How many shares do you want?"
Jiang Cheng took out a piece of paper and said, "This is our equity plan. The central government holds 49%, but it does not interfere with operations. It only requires the factory to fully comply with our labor laws to protect workers' rights and allow the establishment of labor unions. In the labor union, we do not
People will be sent, and it will be entirely handled by worker representatives, but it seems that you have already started to do this. Then the workers will hold 30% of the shares. They are the real owners of the factory, so naturally they should have a large share. Then the local government and each township where they are located,
The village collectively holds 9%. Then your original investors hold 11%. At the same time, we require 10% of the profits to be used for charity. What do you think?"
Gan Dounan said with some reluctance, "We are not opposed to charity, but are our original shareholders too few? And how do we operate if workers take 30% of the shares? How will the equity of workers who come in in the future be calculated? If we give it, the original workers will definitely not be happy.
, if you don’t give it, the workers behind will definitely not be happy.”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Simple, the money does not belong to any one person, and is spent as public welfare. For example, this year we have one hundred workers and a profit of one million. These one hundred people will be divided into three hundred thousand and two hundred thousand."
Three hundred thousand is divided into two hundred workers per worker. Of course, I believe that when there are two hundred workers, the profit will not still be one million. Exceptionally, I suggest that in the early stage, the benefits should be half in cash and half in kind, which can help other people.
Secondly, the factory can also let others see the benefits of our factory, which is more beneficial to the working class. Now our output can be increased a hundred times. Even if you only have 10% of the original equity, the value has increased ten times, and you will not lose money."
Gan Dounan smiled and said, "203, you have made plans for everything. Do you even have ideas for product design?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Most of our current thermoses are made of bamboo shells. I think they can be changed to iron shells. Firstly, they are strong and durable. Secondly, they can better ensure the raw materials. There are more young people in the border area now."
Many people will get married in the future. Can we make the appearance of our thermos more festive? Also, we should have more styles. We cannot ignore the needs of the people just because they have no choice now.
Once people have a choice in the future, they will abandon us."
Gan Dounan nodded and said, "I also have this idea. Okay, I will discuss it with several of my investors immediately."
Jiang Cheng also stood up and shook hands with Gan Dounan and said, "I look forward to the day when all of us Chinese can drink hot water at any time."
Gan Dounan also said firmly, "Don't worry, this has also been the goal of us Great Wall people."
After leaving Gan Dounan's house, Li Qian asked, "It's the third house. It's almost noon. Do we still want to run to the boss' house?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and touched Li Qian's head and said, "Of course, the chairman said that in the future, the central government will give me 3% of the shares. I will make dowry money for you, and then go to a house and eat."
"I...I don't want any dowry money!!" Li Qian shook off Jiang Cheng's hand and said shyly.
Wang Yong pushed Bashun from behind, and the noses they laughed at were not their noses, and their eyes were not their eyes.
Jiang Cheng touched his nose and said, "Okay, let's move on to the next one. The bicycles will follow. I didn't expect that one industry involves so many people."
Gan Dounan in the room looked at the plan and felt as if his heart was shaking. He was eager to find Yu Qiaqing and find out what kind of person this mysterious 203 was.
