Yang Yueran, Gu Hegao's classmate and partner, rushed back to Chongqing after receiving the news. They were afraid that Zhou Hexuan would regret it, so they completed the contract in one day. Zhou Hexuan held 51% of the shares and was the legal representative of the company; Gu Hegao held 34% of the shares and was in charge of the factory.
The general manager is responsible for operations and sales; Yang Yueran holds 15% of the shares and is responsible for production management and technical supervision.
Both of them graduated from Beijing University of Technology. They were a few years younger than Zhou Hexuan and were considered elites in the business community of the Republic of China. Especially Yang Yueran, who originally studied chemical engineering and was very proficient in the production of paints and inks.
Due to the huge profits from the (Harmony) condom and sulfonamide business, and the profits are still dollars and pounds, Zhou Hexuan can't spend all the money. Only the pure profit dividends (after tax) of these two industries add up to him every year.
I can get more than 3 million U.S. dollars, and now the deposits lying in overseas accounts are close to 20 million U.S. dollars.
By the way, the cheap father-in-law Ornish is preparing to list his pharmaceutical company, and Zhou Hexuan's assets will increase sharply by then. In contrast, the Zhang family has to be much more cautious, and neither the father-in-law nor the uncle have even thought about it.
Regarding the listing of the contraceptive condom company (Harmony).
In addition, with the popularity of Chaplin's "Modern Times", United Artists Pictures, invested by Zhou Hexuan, has officially joined the top eight in Hollywood and is about to usher in a round of crazy business expansion.
Counting the value of deposits and overseas company shares, Zhou Hexuan is not far from a billionaire. The unit is of course US dollars.
The Daxigou paint and ink factory is about to resume production, and more and more disaster victims are coming to Chongqing. Bodies of starved to death on the road can be found every day. Historically, Chongqing built two crematoriums, which were not enough, but now it seems to be better.
We received a lot because Zhou Hexuan has been providing disaster relief food.
A total of seven fleets transported more than 1,000 tons of grain, all of which were used for disaster relief in Chongqing. Counties and cities further away were not taken into account for the time being. Today, Chongqing has gathered more than 100,000 hungry people from surrounding counties.
, each person needs six taels of grain per day to make porridge, and the daily consumption is close to 40,000 jins (in the Republic of China, 1 jin was equal to 16 taels, which was equal to 600 grams).
Zhou Hexuan barely managed to drag the grain he purchased from Lianghu and Jiangxi to keep the victims alive. In such a situation where there was not enough food to eat, it was impossible to provide work-for-work relief to the victims. He could only slowly wait for it to be shipped from the Americas.
of that 500,000 tons.
The effect is still very obvious. At least in Chongqing (in the urban area), more than 500 people do not starve to death every month. At the peak, nearly 4,000 people were buried in two months. Now Chongqing's professional corpse collection team can find an average of two or three corpses every day.
Some did not die of starvation, but died of malnutrition and illness.
Not only is Zhou Hexuan saving people, the Chongqing Municipal Government has also allocated 30,000 yuan to purchase grain, and all walks of life have actively donated money and materials.
Meng Xiaodong returned to her old career and sang on stage, raising funds for disaster relief through charity performances. She has been very busy these days. Although Peking Opera is not popular in Sichuan, with the sign of "Mrs. Zhou", many opera fans still come to support her. Currently, Meng Xiaodong
Xiaodong has raised more than 10,000 yuan for charity.
The disaster relief situation in Chongqing is excellent, and Zhou Hexuan's reputation is at its peak. If you ask anyone on the streets of Chongqing, they will give a thumbs up when mentioning Zhou Shenxian.
In other places in Sichuan, it is very bad. There is no need to go to see it on the spot, but the news in the newspaper is difficult to read.
"Fuling Newsletter": "Tan Jiufeng, a resident of Wangjiagou in Heyouping, this county, originally owned more than 40 acres of fertile land, which he cultivated by himself. Years of natural disasters have resulted in no harvest, and his livelihood has been cut off. All the grass roots and bark have long been taken away. He has three daughters.
The two sons were both childish and ignorant. The two daughters starved to death in the first month of the first month, and the youngest son starved to death in early February. The couple was strange in their fifties. They were hungry and cold, struggling to move. They hugged each other and cried. It was so miserable.
He hanged himself from a hanging beam."
"Chengdu News": "This year I have eaten all the bark and grass roots, so I think of the dead. I heard that the meat of dead bodies is sold for 500 Wen per catty, and the flesh of living people is sold for 1,000 Wen per catty. Wang Kuangchu, the special commissioner of the Provincial Relief Committee, came to the Sixth
During the inspection at the entrance, we found female hungry people Zhang Pengshi, He Zhang and others in a house with the same surname surrounding the dead body... There was a woman named Yang Zhang in Maliuping, Tongjiang, who had a difficult life, and her two children, aged six and nine,
The daughter fled the famine. Unexpectedly, the woman fell to death on the roadside before they could go far. The two daughters were very hungry, so they bit their mother's face and body flesh to satisfy their hunger."
"Chongqing Express": "Recently, Qiu, a poor woman from Tongmudong (Linshui County), was forced to starve and killed and ate her three-year-old daughter to prolong her life."
Zhou Hexuan no longer wants to read the newspaper because he just saw a piece of news two days ago, which made him feel so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat anything all day long.
The news content is as follows: In Yuchiwan, Puji, Yang Chuanxing’s family of five, including his wife, son and daughter-in-law, all starved to death, leaving only a several-year-old granddaughter. Yang Chuanxing was so hungry that he chopped up his granddaughter with a knife and ate the meat.
A neighbor heard her granddaughter crying: "Don't chop me, I will collect firewood for you when I grow up!"
There are reports of cannibalism everywhere in Sichuan, and it is getting more and more serious. In some places, the price is even clearly marked, with dead human flesh priced at 500 Wen per catty and live human flesh at 1,000 Wen per catty.
In mid-November, the first batch of grain shipped from America, totaling 200,000 tons, arrived in Shanghai.
Minsheng Shipping Company was so busy that Lu Zuofu went to take charge of it personally, but there were too many messy things along the way.
First, someone came to collect business taxes and withheld the grain without paying the taxes. Zhou Hexuan wrote an article scolding the tax collectors until he was bloody before letting them go. Then there was the bitter winter water of the Yangtze River. In some places, even river ships could not pass it.
Being able to rely on small boats to transport goods one by one wastes a lot of time and money.
November 18th.
Yin Changling came from Chengdu to Chongqing to visit Zhou Hexuan. As soon as they met, the old man knelt down tremblingly on crutches: "Mr. Zhou, I kowtow to you, please save the people of Sichuan!"
Zhou Hexuan was so frightened that he quickly helped me: "Mr. Zhong, please get up quickly. You are trying to shorten my life."
However, Yin Changling refused to get up and begged: "Mr. Zhou, don't just focus on Chongqing, save other places too!"
"There is only so much food. I can't even take care of Chongqing. How can I help other places?" Zhou Hexuan sighed. "The food shipped from abroad is already on the Yangtze River. If you wait a little longer, it will be delivered soon."
.”
"I can't wait, I can't wait," Yin Changling said anxiously wiping away tears. "I used up all the disaster relief funds and relief food allocated by the provincial government last month. As the president of the Sichuan Disaster Relief Relief Association, I am being urged every day.
The door to my home is blocked. If there is no more food, I will have no choice but to quit my job! Give me some of the disaster relief food from Chongqing, 5,000 dan, no, 2,000 dan!"
Zhou Hexuan smiled helplessly: "Where did I get 2,000 dans of grain? There are only more than 1,000 dans left in Chongqing, and there will be no food supply soon."
"Well, let's do it!" Yin Changling sat on the ground, his eyes were blank, and he was completely lost.
