Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

He Daqing and Chen Xueru did not stay in Shanghai for too long.

One day later, the two took a bus from Shanghai to Suzhou, and then, with the introduction of Chen Xueru's uncle, they visited the original silk shop supplier Li Zhongyuan, the owner of a local textile factory in Suzhou.

The silk supply model of Xueru Silk Shop is very simple.

That is, Chen Xueru's uncle purchases the silk from the Suzhou Textile Factory, and is responsible for transporting it to the old city, and then handing it over to the silk shop for sale.

Chen Xueru's silk shop is a seller, Chen Xueru's uncle is a middleman, and Li Zhongyuan, who owns a textile factory, is a supplier.

After knowing the purpose of Chen Xueru and the others.

Li Zhongyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said apologetically:"I'm afraid I will disappoint Shopkeeper Chen. Now my textile factory is no longer under my control."

"As early as last year, the government asked textile factories to process and place orders."

"The state-owned textile factories in northern Jiangsu supply raw materials or semi-finished products, and entrust private textile factories to process and produce them."

"Private textile factories must complete the corresponding processing and delivery tasks within the specified time, and only after delivery can they collect a certain amount of labor fees."

"This means that most of the machines in the factory have to be used to complete the above textile tasks, and only a small number of machines can be used for their own production."

"Manager Chen's silk shop is an old customer of our Zhenyuan Textile Factory, so even during the processing and ordering period, the textile factory did not reduce the supply of goods to Manager Chen."

Li Zhongyuan paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said,"But now it's different. The higher-ups hope that Zhenyuan Textile Factory can be a public-private partnership, so of course I have to actively cooperate."

"Therefore, the textile factory is no longer under my management. If Manager Chen wants to purchase silk, he will have to find the new factory manager."

Processing orders, public-private partnership!

This is the general trend, and no one can stop it.

Originally, He Daqing and the others thought that the textile factory could not supply goods temporarily because of the influence of the rural commune and the problem of purchasing raw materials.

Who would have thought that it was because the textile factory was a public-private partnership.

This is a bit difficult to deal with.

"I wonder if Mr. Li can help introduce the new factory director?"

After listening to Li Zhongyuan's story, He Daqing hesitated for a moment and finally told the purpose of his visit.

Before they came to visit Li Zhongyuan, they had already learned about the situation of Zhenyuan Textile Factory from Chen Xueru's uncle.

Now they came here to ask Li Zhongyuan to help introduce the new factory director to them.

"This is definitely no problem"

"However, you should not hold your hopes too high, because the newly appointed Director Yang is very principled. He believes that after the public-private partnership, the textile factory has become a state-owned enterprise and should be run by the people. He has a lot of opinions about private business owners and small business owners."

"After he took office, the first thing he did was to eliminate all small private business owners. He no longer accepted orders from private enterprises, and all goods were sent directly to large state-owned factories, the military, supply and marketing cooperatives, etc.."

"Therefore, I can only be a middleman for you. As for whether you can convince Director Yang to supply you with goods, I cannot guarantee that."

Li Zhongyuan said truthfully.

It's not that no one has come to him during this period, hoping to get through him to the new director and get the goods from Zhenyuan Textile Factory.

Unfortunately, all failed.

The so-called strong principle, in other words, is stubborn and does not know how to adapt.

Of course, this is also related to the current social situation.

Nowadays, in Jiangsu, although most of the medium and large textile factories have implemented public-private partnerships.

But compared with the whole country, it is a drop in the bucket.

So the textile factory is not short of orders at all.

The supply and marketing cooperatives from all over the country, as well as the export trade of larger state-owned factories, the needs of the troops, etc., are enough to keep the machines in the textile factory running 24 hours a day, and they are still in short supply.

This is the power of the planned economy. With one order, the goods can be supplied and marketed throughout the country.

Of course, this is also the case in today's era of textiles. The reason why there are relatively few weaving mills is that unlike later generations, almost every county has two or three textile mills, such as the National Cotton Mill.

In addition, silk actually only accounts for a very small proportion of the products of the textile mills, and most of them are ordinary fabrics such as cotton, gauze, and linen.

Therefore, for the leaders of state-owned textile mills, as long as the factory is large, has many employees, produces a lot of fabrics, has high output, and can make a profit, that's enough. They will not deliberately pursue high-end silk products.

In this way.

Small business owners like Chen Xueru who specialize in silk business will have a hard time.

After all, although there are many textile mills in Sudi, there are only a few that can guarantee the quality of silk.

Once these textile mills stop producing silk or stop providing silk to the outside world, their business will definitely be greatly affected, or they will close down directly.

"I'll trouble you, Boss Li."

He Daqing said with gratitude.

"It's okay, these are what we should do."

Li Zhongyuan waved his hand and shook his head, saying,"In fact, this is also my problem. If the textile factory had informed Manager He in advance, it would not have caused him so much trouble."

Thinking of this, Li Zhongyuan complained to the new director of the textile factory.

If you are not going to supply goods to old customers, then you should have told them in advance.

We have been cooperating for several years, but they just made a big order and placed an order with you, but you said you would not supply them.

Isn't this cheating people?

He Daqing shook his head and said,"Boss Li can't be blamed for this. It's mainly our problem."

In this matter, Zhenyuan Textile Factory was certainly wrong, and Chen Xueru was also wrong.

If she had called to inquire about the situation in Suzhou before signing the contract with Soviet diplomat Vladimir, and knew that Suzhou Textile Factory would no longer supply goods, she would probably not have rashly signed a contract with Vladimir. (To read the novel of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

To put it bluntly, she was still a little anxious.

But this is understandable.

After all, not to mention that Vladimir's order was not small in quantity and could make a lot of money.

Just talking about the channels on the Soviet side, it represents a huge business opportunity.

If the Soviet channel can be opened up through this order, let alone making money from this order, even if it is a loss, it is worth it.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances.

Who makes this era abnormal?

Li Zhongyuan is also a straightforward person.

After agreeing to introduce the new director of Zhenyuan Textile Factory to Wei Daqing and the others, he did not perfunctorily call the factory in front of the two and asked if Director Yang was in the factory. After confirming that Director Yang was in the textile factory,[]

Li Zhongyuan smiled and said,"Boss He is here by chance today, and Director Yang is in the factory. If you two have time now, why don't you go to the textile factory and sit for a while?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Boss Li."

He Daqing naturally had no objection to Li Zhongyuan's invitation.

After all, he was still thinking about going to Guangzhou and Hong Kong Island, so he didn't have time to stay in Suzhou and wait.

And this time, he handed the steamed bun shop to Sha Zhu for management.

With Sha Zhu's bad temper, He Daqing was really afraid that the boy would ruin his steamed bun shop over time.

So the problem of silk shop supply must be solved as soon as possible.

…………

Zhenyuan Textile Factory is one of the oldest large textile factories in Suzhou, with a history of nearly 100 years.

Even before the Sino-Japanese War, the Li family's Zhenyuan Textile Factory was already one of the four major textile enterprises in Suzhou.

There are more than 800 textile workers in the factory alone.

If you add the logistics, transportation team, management, etc., the factory workers have exceeded 1,000, which is a veritable factory with 1,000 people.

As the owner of Zhenyuan Textile Factory, Li Zhongyuan is a famous businessman in Suzhou and a leader in Suzhou textile.

He Daqing even heard from Chen Xueru's uncle that Li Zhongyuan's identity is not simple.

Li Zhongyuan's wife Wen Jinling has a deep background. She is the daughter of Wen Bingzhong, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. Wen Bingzhong is the uncle of the Song sisters. When they went to the United States to study, they were accompanied by Wen Bingzhong.

Later, the Anti-Japanese War broke out and the Japanese occupied Suzhou.

The Li family also moved the Zhenyuan Textile Factory to Wuhan.

Later, when Wuhan fell, the Li family all fled to Hong Kong Island. It was not until the end of the war, that is, three years ago, that Li Zhongyuan returned alone and reopened the Zhenyuan Textile Factory.

As for why he returned alone instead of bringing his family back?

I'm afraid he was trying to bet on both sides.

After all, betting on both sides is definitely the only way for a large family to survive. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, there were three heroes in the Zhuge family, who served in Wei, Shu and Wu respectively.

In the Republic of China period, there were countless such bets on both sides.

Some joined our army, some served the Guo Party, and some joined other warlords, and some went abroad directly to seek refuge... copy...

These things are completely basic operations for large families.

For example, Cha Jimin of the Hong Kong Cha Group is Liu Guojun's son-in-law, but Liu Guojun stayed in the mainland and let his son-in-law go to Hong Kong for development; the Guo family of Wing On also left two brothers in Shanghai; and the Rong family also sent some of their members abroad.....

There is even Lou Zhenhua in the TV series"Love in the Courtyard", who also sent his son to Hong Kong Island, but only stayed in the country with his concubine and the concubine's daughter Lou Xiao'e.

Isn't this betting on both sides?

It can only be said that the big families that can really become big and strong have their own survival wisdom.

Whenever there is a war, they will bet on both sides, or even multiple bets, and will not put all their eggs in one basket.

Similarly, it is precisely because he knew Li Zhongyuan's identity that He Daqing felt that the person in front of him was not simple, not a simple character.

After all, not every big shot can treat a little person who is far inferior to himself so kindly..
