Chapter 263 sui
The authority of Li Hongzhang's government was severely challenged by local governors. In order to divert attention, he decided to launch a war of aggression, with the target of North Korea. The excuse he found was of course that the Korean dynasty was not enterprising and stubborn and conservative. Looking back at the history of the Korean Peninsula, it was simply a heroic epic that was heroic to fight against foreign invaders, and this invader was often China. The policy towards North Korea, the Central Plains dynasty was very typical in the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty was first founded, Zhu Yuanzhang listed fifteen countries, including North Korea, as "non-suffering countries."
But when the country is strong, these policies do not count. Emperors such as Li Shimin and Yang Guang all regard the conquest of Goryeo as the "turning point in their lives". If they can conquer North Korea, it will be a great benefit for Li Hongzhang to establish the authority of the Prime Minister's Office, and indirectly deter those provinces that want to rebel.
Li Hongzhang is a smart man, and the foundation left by the Shenji Camp is very good. In terms of military strength, North Korea definitely has no chance to be his "turning point in life". But wars often bring about diplomatic problems. ******* has no many allies internationally. The world's most powerful Windsor Empire power is on the side of North Korea, one is the Soviet Union in the north and the other is Japan in the east, all of which are not good to Lord Li.
In order to gain diplomatic support, Lord Lee used the excuse to find a good North Korean country to punish bandits. North Korea is now a poor country, with a large number of stolen bicycles, household appliances and other stolen goods sold well in North Korea, and a large number of products from Windsor companies, so in theory, this will be supported by the Windsor consortium.
The cheap and convenient means of transportation for bicycles are very popular among the public, but it has a very fatal disadvantage that is easy to steal. The round table rider bicycle has no absolute advantage in its own technology, but it is still the best-selling bicycle in the world because it almost solves this tricky disadvantage. By building an ultrasonic resonance signal transmitter into the bicycle frame, the police can easily locate the bicycle position, and the thief catches each one accurately. Therefore, no one dares to buy the stolen round table rider, and there is no other choice except to sell it to countries like North Korea. Lord Li wants to help the round table rider company to seek justice. What a good person.
In order to show the style of the Qing Dynasty's great power, Lord Li also convened North Korea, the Soviet Union and Japan to hold "quad-side talks" to resolve the trade dispute. The three East Asian powers unanimously accused North Korea of not fulfilling their obligation to crack down on bandits, which made North Korean envoys leave the seat in anger. Then North Korea's Daewonjun discovered that the Qing Dynasty was mobilizing troops to travel to the Sino-North Korea border, and was so scared that he hurried back to the negotiating table.
The North Korean envoy was ordered to ensure that he would crack down on smuggling. On the surface, he had done a lot of effort. However, Li Hongzhang was too familiar with the feudal dynasty, which was like the Qing government that wanted to ban smoking. It was an impossible task. Officials who were favored and abused by the law would definitely open the door after accepting bribes, and the stolen goods would still flow into North Korea. If North Korea really did smuggling strictly, Lord Li could take the initiative to help the smuggling gang. He still had this ability, and Hu Xueyan would be the most suitable master for doing this kind of thing.
Japan had long had the ambition to invade North Korea. After discovering the Qing Dynasty's attempt, it immediately mobilized its army, fearing that the interests of the Qing Dynasty would be completely owned by the Qing Dynasty after the Qing Dynasty occupied it. At this time, Japan was not confident enough. In order to compete with the Qing Dynasty, they also won over the Soviet Union to send troops together. The three great powers sharpened their knives and prepared to kill North Korea for the New Year.
The failure of Li Shimin and Yang Guangzheng Goryeo is attributed to the failure of logistics to keep up. In the current Qing Dynasty, this problem has been completely solved. The powerful trains and increasingly perfect road network can follow the army off-road vehicles. Even without the direct support of the Windsor Empire, the Prime Minister's Office is fully capable of fighting a war where strong dragons ravage local snakes.
In recent years, Japan has developed the logistical ability to respond quickly with the Windsor Empire. Almost the moment the Qing Dynasty crossed the Sino-North Korea border, the world's first powerful Japanese Navy to use electric welding technology was equipped with a landing army from Fukuoka to Busan.
The Soviet army was slow, and they didn't even have regular troops and did not intend to launch an unjust war of aggression. The Japanese and Qing dynasties scrambled to the forefront. The Japanese even went straight to Seoul, the capital of North Korea, with the second wave, and tried to eat dumplings on the South Korean Peninsula.
The Japanese felt that the Qing Dynasty was too big. As long as the North Koreans accounted for half, it would be a great victory for Japan. The Korean army lags behind the invading army in all aspects and almost lost all the battles against the Qing Dynasty, against Japan, and against the Soviet Union. Lin Feier remembered that Tang Ning said that the Koreans might also become important countries, but now they really don’t see it.
While North Korea's self-defense counterattack was in full swing, President Lin carried out an activity to restore Windsor's authority in the Qing Dynasty. She wanted to restore the names of the Qing Dynasty Royal Telecom, the Qing Dynasty Royal Radio and other stations, and used the method to seek authorization from Empress Dowager Cixi. The Qing Dynasty Royal should have been authorized by the royal family, but because the royal family lost its power, it would not be able to operate it, and its income was getting less and less. Finally, it was discovered that the name "royal" could be authorized to earn some authorization fees. Wouldn't it be a hit? With the royal authorization, President Lin could inspire the telecommunications and the radio station presidents went to the Qing Dynasty circuit court to appeal and rob the name from the Prime Minister's Office.
Empress Dowager Cixi is such a smart woman. She seized the opportunity of President Lin coming to negotiate with her and expressed her "good" desire to join the Windsor Masonic, hoping to use the power of the Freemason to have a place on the political stage again. To be honest, Linfell and Empress Dowager Cixi are the same type of people and appreciate each other. So, the news that caused a sensation across the country was presented to everyone. The biological mother of the Qing emperor, the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty, joined the Windsor Masonic!
The Empress Dowager Cixi, who was used to being more than ten thousand people, finally learned to bow her head. She actually took the little emperor to attend the "Rename Festival" of the Royal Telecom in Qing Dynasty. The Prime Minister's Office could not enforce its own rename change orders at all. It is impossible to think that the name authorized by the Empress Dowager on behalf of the emperor was illegal, right? This blow really made Lord Li very uncomfortable. The little emperor relied on the royal authorization, telecom gave 500,000 silver dollars per year, and the Royal Radio station gave 500,000 silver dollars. This became the basic standard for royal authorization, which was also required by Lin Feier. In the future, the royal family had to authorize other enterprises, and it must be more than this number to reflect the nobleness of the "royal".
During her dating with Cixi, Linfell was surprised to find that the Queen Mother of the Cialis could speak some English and send telegrams in English was fine. Although she had spelled a lot of mistakes, she felt that this was quite good for women who had received feudal education since childhood.
Later, the Empress Dowager turned against the Confucian etiquette and went to Royal Radio to visit the Royal Radio, chatting about the royal life after "constitutionalization", and suddenly became a big star in the Qing Dynasty. She talked about the royal expenses and did not have enough funds to maintain the Old Summer Palace. Lin Feier gave her a suggestion to open the Old Summer Palace to tourists and create a luxury park. A ticket of 10 silver dollars (one silver dollar is basically equivalent to one dollar). Just 100 tourists can earn 1,000 yuan a day, which is 360,000 silver dollars a year. Another 10 presidential suites, 300 silver dollars a night, 30 business suites, and 100 silver dollars a night, which is even more amazing. Total 6,000 silver dollars a day, even if you only have 100 days to stay, it will be 600,000 silver dollars a day, which is much more profitable than the royal naming authorization to large enterprises.
There is no way. Now the empress dowager must consider the food, rice, oil and salt. She should consider this big business carefully. The parliament gave the Qing emperor a salary of 1 million silver dollars per year. If these businesses suggested by Lin Feier were completed, the royal family would increase their income by two million.
Who wouldn't want to stay in the Old Summer Palace for those rich nouveau riche? Maybe there will be the last group of eunuchs in the world to serve. This is the number one luxury hotel in China, which looks like it will be a hot business.
In order to perfectly preserve the classical charm of the Old Summer Palace, the entire garden did not pull wires, but used expensive hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, not to mention the technology such as windmills and solar cells in the park.
Given her good relationship with the royal family, Lin Fei opened her Suiyuan Hotel into the Suiyuan Hotel, and the two major luxury brands played a role in promoting each other. A few years ago, Miss Lin, who shouted to buy the Suiyuan at the Shanghai Suiyuan Collection Auction, has now almost become the best friend of the Queen Mother of the Suiyuan, the leader of the Suiyuan Garden, which is an anomaly.
As a new female tycoon in the catering industry, Boss Lin not only gains a foothold in the luxury catering industry, but also has the possibility of expanding to all classes. During the business process, she knows that preparing breakfast is the most painful thing for hotels. Traditional restaurants have to get up earlier than everyone, and they have to get up in the dark at 4 o'clock to start working. The wonderful thing is that 90% of the work in Suiyuan Hotel can be automatically completed by machines. Therefore, after special optimization for breakfast, it is basically necessary to prepare various food and seasonings the day before. As long as a very small number of employees get up early to supervise and start the machine work, all the hard breakfast cooking work can be completed.
Meat and vegetable ingredients will be transformed into stuffing, flour will be transformed into buns, and soybeans will be transformed into soy milk. Linfell's favorite fresh milk was squeezed out just in the early morning. For this reason, she also built her own dairy farm in the suburbs of cities where Suiyuan Hotels are open. According to experts, milk at two o'clock is the most fragrant, and the milker gets up to work at two o'clock.
In short, Linfei finally found that the breakfast made by Suiyuan at such a high standard was actually cheaper than the hawkers who traditionally sold breakfasts. She calculated that after expanding the production scale, her factory could meet the needs of the entire Beijing. At this time, Beijing was just a radius of less than 5 kilometers, and the speed of Fengniao Express was 30 kilometers per hour. In other words, if a factory was set up in the central area, breakfast could be delivered to the farthest corner within 10 minutes. It would take 20 minutes to deliver it to the suburbs of Old Summer Palace, and a separate factory could be set up here.
By doing this, those vendors don’t need to get up at 4 o’clock to make breakfast hard. They just need to book from Suiyuan Hotel. They can get up at 6 o’clock to go to the Fengniao Express node to pick up the goods. Their network is more developed than the post office, and basically there are around all streets in the city. Foods in insulation boxes are delivered to merchants on time every day. There are also Suiyuan’s brand guarantees, which are clean and hygienic, and can instantly kill 100 streets.
The mechanized recipes at Suiyuan Hotel are not monotonous, even corn flour pancakes, but customers cannot let them ask for "one egg costs one dollar! If you like crispy, put more noodles! Put some noodles and some noodles sauce a little sweet! It's like a fairy when it's hot!" There are no pancakes that are so hot that they are hot, but there are other benefits that everyone likes to see the chef's fat claws to make food. Suiyuan breakfast is packaged in standard paper bags. These paper bags are designed by Boss Lin himself. They are sealed with a fine paper strip and made into a beautiful bow. Once you pull it, they bloom. A circle of small holes are made around. Diners can constantly tear the paper bags according to the progress of their eating. It is a great tool for eating long foods such as pancakes.
Suiyuan breakfast also requires merchants who face diners to wear clean and neat and white uniforms inlaid with golden yellow. The male boss is not allowed to grow long hair, and the female boss has to tie a headscarf, trim his nails every day, wash his hands and nails. Even if he competes with small vendors, he must maintain the high-end posture of Suiyuan Hotel.
At this time, we can see that Boss Lin has a different relationship with Boss Tang. She can actually ask companies like Fengniao Network, which have consistent global operation plans, to optimize companies like her that have special requirements for logistics, so that the bosses who wholesale Suiyuan breakfast can directly restock the goods through the interface on the node. Suiyuan breakfast has become the first catering company that directly uses Fengniao as the logistics center, and its effect is of course huge.
During this period, in addition to caring about the war situation on the Korean Peninsula, people watched Suiyuan Hotel expand rapidly. Its expansion was speedy, because of large-scale mechanized production, and expansion of scale basically only expanded the factory area and the number of machines. The originally labor-intensive catering industry was made into a capital-intensive by Suiyuan Hotel. Relying on the national and even global network that has been established by Fengniao Network, it will soon expand the already very successful "breakfast wholesale business" to many Chinese cities, many world metropolises, and expand breakfast to main meals.
More and more restaurants have found that the cost of ordering the main meals directly at Suiyuan Hotel is more cost-effective than hiring chefs and workers to do it themselves. Except for a few of their own special dishes, they can be solved through Suiyuan Hotel. Some laymen in the catering industry even found out about this unique way to open a restaurant and established restaurants that are purely supplied by Suiyuan Hotel.
In order to maintain its high-end brand status, the main meals at Suiyuan Hotel are not casual. It handles a lot of peripheral affairs surrounding food, such as tableware. When you open the main meals delivered by Suiyuan Hotel, you will find that all the bowls and dishes in her house are made of Kashieemon-style porcelain, sealed in recyclable polyethylene catering-grade film. Boss Lin also designed the packaging plan for this film, with a beautiful zipper-like mechanism that can be easily tear open the packaging.
If you still remember, Kashiyoumon is a Japanese luxury porcelain used by Tangning at home. The purely handmade Kashiyoumon made by real Japanese people is definitely not suitable for mass consumer-grade porcelain, which is too expensive. However, in order to maintain the high-end brand of Suiyuan Hotel, Boss Lin went to Japan to learn about the production process of Kashiyoumon porcelain, and obtained the style authorization at a high price, and returned to Jingdezhen to create his own porcelain factory.
The most distinctive "red" dye in Kashiyuemon even needs to be preserved for more than ten years in traditional processes. In fact, Boss Lin, who knows chemistry, can tell at a glance that it is related to dye oxidation. Therefore, Boss Lin can produce Kashiyuemon-style red dye on a large scale in the factory in Jingdezhen. The conservative Japanese still stick to the tradition stupidly.
The heaviest job of traditional porcelain is to skilled painters to draw patterns and color the porcelain. Boss Lin still solved its mechanized process and used the cylinder transfer process to turn the process that painters had to do for half a day into a transfer for a few seconds. There is no doubt that Boss Lin's porcelain factory cost is a hundred times lower than that of Kashiyoumon, but the finished products produced have almost the same quality. Anyway, Boss Lin sent the first batch of samples to Tang Ning to show, and Boss Tang could not see the difference. The same white as milk, the same red as flames, and the same moist as beautiful jade.
In addition to porcelain, there are also fully sealed boxes produced under the strong demand of Boss Lin to hold food and soup. It can not spill soup or leak water in the face of bumps. It is quite balanced by the use of magnetic suspension technology in Fengniao Network, and there is no problem.
Even the chopsticks used are also of particular concern. The use of white bamboo, which is very suitable for chopsticks, has been processed through the healthy anti-mold chemical process recognized by Master Tang, and has perfectly inherited the exquisite texture of white bamboo. It also comes from the own factory of Suiyuan Hotel. Boss Lin did not find the chopsticks he liked on the market, so he had to design this unique product that combines traditional appearance and modern craftsmanship. Even the types of bamboo are carefully selected to achieve the ideal texture.
When the customer finishes his meal, according to the "franchise" requirements of Suiyuan Hotel, the waiter will take it to the backend (it is important not to deal with the residue in front of the customer), and put the leftovers into the kitchen waste processing machine. This is a dry and hot processing machine that can remove the moisture of the kitchen waste, reduce the weight by 80%, leaving only a pile of black residue, which is basically tasteless. Then the black residue and dishes washed in a large dishwasher are sent back to Suiyuan Hotel for ultraviolet disinfection and repackaging.
Suiyuan Hotel is a bit like a wholesale supermarket in the catering industry. Miss Lin is worthy of being a master of Master Tang and has learned well. In order to promote this intensive production, Miss Lin set up flagship stores in big cities, while others are divided into direct stores in important areas and franchise stores in secondary areas.
