The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Huagebei Road, Du Mansion.

Du Yuesheng, the fearsome leader of the Qing Gang, is now tied to a chair by Wu Huada. When he saw Zhou Hexuan entering the room, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, forgive me for not being able to greet you from a distance, it is really rude!"

"Brother, where are you singing?" Zhou Hexuan asked funny.

Du Yuesheng explained: "Chairman Jiang launched the New Life Movement. Old Du, I also want to live a new life. At least I have to quit this opium. Otherwise, I will look like a sick man in East Asia. If I go out, I will embarrass the Chairman. You Say it?"

"Have courage!" Zhou Hexuan gave a thumbs up.

A big brother of the Qing Gang took the initiative to quit opium, and he really quit opium in history, which is really admirable in this regard.

Du Yuesheng smiled wryly and said: "It's hard to quit opium. I haven't gone out for half a month, and I tie myself at home every day, even eating like this."

Zhou Hexuan comforted and said: "It's good to quit, a man is a man, how can he be manipulated by a small opium."

"I love to hear that, brother Zhou is so proud!" Du Yuesheng laughed loudly.

Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said: "I heard that my brother's Zhonghui Building is about to be completed, I wish you a lot of money!"

Du Yuesheng proudly said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. But when it comes to doing business, I can't compare to brother Zhou. Your sulfa drug is making money every day."

"It's just a shopkeeper, it's just a bonus every year." Zhou Hexuan said.

The pharmaceutical company in the UK, Zhou Hexuan really didn't make much cash, and used it to expand production scale and establish sales channels, and the remaining money was also invested in drug research and development projects.

Vivien Leigh's father, Ornis, is in charge of all the power of the company, so there must be many tricks, but Zhou Hexuan is too lazy to take it seriously. He holds the patent of sulfonamide in his hand, and the drug research and development laboratory is also solely owned by him, strangling the source of the drug.

As long as Ornis is not a fool, he won't play too much. Even if the two of them break up one day, Zhou Hexuan can take various patents at any time and find other people to cooperate with.

Du Yuesheng chatted for a while, then suddenly got down to business: "Brother Zhou, the matter you asked me to investigate has already been clarified. Someone sent money to the warden, so the sentence was exceptionally reduced. Zhang Damin was released from prison legally."

"Can you find out who is feeding the money?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Du Yuesheng said: "A middle-aged man surnamed Li is said to be a relative of Zhang Damin. That person has not been found, and he probably has a false name and surname. It is difficult to find out such things."

Du Yuesheng didn't mean to be perfunctory. He is a big boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang, but he can't completely control Shanghai. If you want to find a person using a fake name in the vast crowd, the difficulty is undoubtedly tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Zhou Hexuan had already guessed who was doing the trick, and he asked, "Brother, if I have a problem with Tang Jishan, how should I deal with him?"

"Tang Jishan, king of tea?" Du Yuesheng was taken aback.

"It's him." Zhou Hexuan smiled.

Du Yuesheng shook his head again and again: "This person can't move, it's too involved."

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Does he have a strong background?"

"It's not just a background issue," Du Yuesheng said, "Brother Zhou, you know that most of our industries in China are controlled by foreigners. In the past, foreigners monopolized China's tea export trade. It was Tang Jishan who broke this situation." Situation. For Chinese people who are in the tea business, Tang Jishan is a great hero. There are at least hundreds of thousands of tea farmers and tea merchants in the country relying on Tang Jishan for food. If you bring down Tang Jishan, foreigners will definitely take the opportunity to bring down the Huacha Company, which is tantamount to smashing Hundreds of thousands of people's jobs!"

"I really didn't expect that," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "Of course, I didn't intend to bring Tang Jishan down, I just wanted to give him some flair."

"That's good," Du Yuesheng said, "Actually, I don't like Tang Jishan either. After becoming a tea king, this person is a bit too complacent. He used to be a hero in the tea business, but now he has completely become a profiteer. He He teamed up with foreigners and deliberately lowered the purchase price of tea, causing tea merchants and tea farmers to complain. He doesn’t even look down on me, thinking that if he gets close to foreigners and high-ranking officials, he can go to heaven. I have long wanted to deal with this guy.”

Zhou Hexuan really didn't understand this, so he hurriedly asked about the situation, and soon found out Tang Jishan's background.

As Du Yuesheng said, foreigners used to monopolize China's tea export trade. Tang Jishan's father teamed up with many tea merchants to establish the Huacha Company, hoping to completely break this situation, but their plan soon went bankrupt.

At that time, the old family of the Tang family was almost lost. Fortunately, with the help of Tang Jishan's father-in-law, they finally got through the most difficult time.

Tang Jishan's father did not choose to give up, but rebuilt the Huacha Company with sole proprietorship, and made Tang Jishan the general manager of the company. With the help of the boycott of foreign goods at that time, Huacha Company quickly gained a foothold in China, and adopted a low-price strategy to obtain a share of tea supply from an American company, becoming the only Chinese tea company that was able to do export trade at that time.

The business of Huacha Company has grown like a snowball, and now it is even sold in the four continents of Asia, Europe, America and Africa. In China, Huacha Company ranks third, and the top two are foreign companies; in the United States, Huacha Company ranks second as a non-local tea supplier, second only to a Japanese company.

If you only look at these, Tang Jishan is definitely a hero, a national entrepreneur who can make the Chinese look good.

But the great teacher Marx said it well: Capitalism came into the world, from head to toe, dripping blood and dirty things from every pore.

The Huacha Company was able to obtain the share of tea exports at the beginning, relying on low prices, which were much lower than the supply prices of foreign companies. But he bought tea at a high price in China, making tea merchants willing to sell tea to him instead of selling it to foreign companies.

Buying at a higher price than foreigners and selling at a lower price than foreigners, there is actually a huge profit in the middle, one can imagine how black-hearted those foreign businessmen are.

As Tang Jishan's business grew bigger and bigger, foreigners gradually recognized and accepted him. Ever since, the nature of the capitalist is exposed, he wants to grab more profits!

Naturally, foreigners cannot be offended, so Tang Jishan did not dare to raise the supply price, and still exported overseas at a low price. But in terms of domestic purchases, you can play tricks. Tang Jishan actually colluded with other foreign businessmen to jointly suppress the purchase price of tea.

Countless tea merchants and tea farmers in China have been tricked miserably by Tang Jishan. But there is no way, Tang Jishan has united with foreigners to monopolize the tea export trade, tea merchants and tea farmers can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, unable to express their suffering.

The funniest thing is that Tang Jishan can still be touted as a hero, because only he can challenge the foreign tea company, and he is a model and pride of national entrepreneurs.

After hearing what Du Yuesheng said, Zhou Hexuan suddenly laughed—it is very simple to bring down Tang Jishan, just find a few attractive Chinese tea merchants and take them to contact the American tea company.

Isn't Tang Jishan playing a low-price supply strategy? Then offer a lower price than him, to ensure that the American Tea Buying Chamber of Commerce will be very interested.

By that time, China's tea business will inevitably become more competitive, and it may be possible to raise the price of tea and generate income for the majority of tea merchants and tea farmers.

Of course, there may also be another consequence - the new Chinese tea export company once again reached a secret agreement with foreigners to continue to jointly monopolize the tea market, and those low-level tea merchants and tea farmers will suffer.

Capitalists are rarely reliable.

Zhou Hexuan was still too complicated after thinking about it, and he wasn't going to tear himself apart with Tang Jishan for the time being. As long as the other party doesn't make too much trouble, he'll be fine, and everyone can sit down and have a meal to resolve the grievances.
