Chapter 24 The Story of Fan Xudong
Zhou Xiaoshan had carefully read Mr. Fan's life story, but what had the most influence was the tragedy of being plundered by the Japanese army in the second half of his life!
He talked about the previous few passages very sloppy!
"After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, he was invited by Liang Qichao to bring back all the skills he learned to the Beiyang government for work! Although Mr. Liang values him very much, the corrupt Beiyang government cannot provide such a young talent with a stage to display his abilities! What is he doing? He is helping to cast Yuan Datou's mint and be a laborator!"
"absurd!"
Liu Xiang attaches great importance to scientific and technological talents. The arsenal and steel mill of Chongqing Equipment Repair Institute has brought many college students online, including masters and doctoral students, and they blurt out!
The soldiers in the Guard Battalion also understood that this is probably not a good location!
"Fan Xudong was certainly dissatisfied with such a position and resigned in two months. Mr. Liang Qichao stuffed him into the inspection team that went to Europe to inspect the salt administration!"
"Europe's advanced salt production deeply shocked Fan Xudong. In the fourth year of the Republic of China, he returned to China to establish Tianjin Jiuda Precision Salt Company with a share capital of 50,000 yuan. Fan Xudong was publicly elected as general manager and produced the first batch of fine salt made in China. Fan Xudong personally designed a pentagonal trademark, named "Neptune". The Chinese people ate the fine salt they made with seawater for the first time! Of course, except for Sichuan people, because we eat well salt, many places in Sichuan are rich in well salt, and several famous workshops will also extract fine salt. The sodium chloride content is very high, exceeding 75%! Hi, even if Jiuda produces fine salt, it will not be sold to Sichuan!"
This guy is rumored on the surface, but in fact he is knowledgeable. Not only Liu Xiang, but everyone who listens to the Longmen Formation with relish, he bursts out!
Fan Xudong's great contribution to the salt industry in his country has nothing to do with Sichuan people!
"After Fan Xudong produced the fine salt, the foreigners did not stop attacking him, and they wanted to take all of China's salt industry in their hands. The British, who took action, blocked the port with gunboats, and did not allow Fan Xudong's salt to be sold. The crazy Easterners even said that the salt of Neptune brand was poisonous, widely distributed leaflets, and created rumors!"
The soldiers obviously felt heartbroken when they put themselves in Fan Xudong's role!
"Foreigners lost huge interests and fought back frantically. As Mr. Fan expected, what he never expected was that the Chinese would also attack him!"
Zhou Xiaoshan's words were like losing a big stone. In the calm lake, all the soldiers were blown up!
"Who the hell dares to kill the traitor!"
Zhou Xiaoshan waved his hands for a long time before calming the soldiers' anger!
"Salt was used to be run by the government, and the warlords also needed to use this to collect taxes and raise troops. Mr. Fan only considered allowing the Chinese nation to eat cheap salt. He never thought that local people would resist and suffered a huge loss at once! The sales were not smooth, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly! With the help of his friends, he could have survived this level and opened up the situation. Unexpectedly, the long-lasting salt made a fortune and was targeted by the hungry wolf!"
"The commander of the Fengtian warlords stationed in Tianjin is Li Jinglin. He kidnapped Fan Xudong in the name of raising military funds and blackmailed 200,000 oceans!"
"Fan Xudong is full of righteousness, so how could he suffer such dirty threats!"
"Li Jinglin ordered the detention of Fan Xudong and sent someone to Jiuda to threaten Fan Xudong's life. Fan Xudong was upright and tough, and he was too arrogant. He refused to let his family pay the ransom!"
"Later, it was his elder brother Fan Yuanlian who came forward and asked someone to find Li Jinglin and secretly transferred 60,000 oceans to the salt factory account before he redeemed him!"
Liu Xiang touched Feng Tiankui beside him with his feet. He understood the meaning very clearly. He knew why I couldn't invite Fan Xudong. People regarded me and Li Jinglin as birds of a feather!
"However, Mr. Fan Xudong's footsteps did not stop because of so many setbacks. His ideal was to start our country's chemical industry and heavy chemical industry! The first thing he focused on was the domestic gap and urgently needed to import chemical raw materials. What did he focus on this time?"
"soda ash!"
Liu Xiang answered with a rush, Feng Tiankui, Luo Jialie, and the crowd laughed!
This kid is very good at setting up a gantry formation. He is afraid that others will not like to listen to it, so he often asks and sets it on the same time!
"The general is just knowledgeable. Unlike you, the group of earthy leopards, who deserve to be the big-headed soldiers, it's this thing, soda ash!"
Zhou Xiaoshan flattered Liu Xiang without any trace and wrote soda ash on the blackboard!
"Soth soda ash is very wide-ranging! The soda you use when washing clothes requires soda ash, the glass on our commander's telescope needs soda ash, the gray cement of Dashuai's building of foreign buildings requires soda ash, and even camera printing, cloth dyeing, and we need to use this thing when eating steamed buns and hair noodles! It accounts for a very important proportion in the national economy and people's livelihood!"
Feng Tiankui and Liu Xiang and others were nodding, and the big-headed soldiers seemed to understand that soda ash is a very important thing!
"But alkali is different from salt. It has equipment restrictions, technical restrictions, and even advanced production methods. If someone applies for a patent, you cannot copy it! For example, our commander wrote two songs. You cannot sing in public casually. You can use it to perform on stage. If you want to sing on stage, you have to spend money to get the commander to agree!"
Looking at Feng Tiankui's unkind eyes, Zhou Xiaoshan quickly changed his words!
"No, no, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It was Fan Haer who made two small songs!"
The expression of being caught in the bed was exaggerated.
Laughing!
Feng Tiankui also laughed!
While laughing, Liu Xiang took out his handkerchief to wipe his tears!
"When Fan Xudong learned, who mastered the most advanced alkali-making method in the world? A Shibian named Sulvi, invented the alkali-making method, which is the lowest cost and the most advanced, and was sold to many European companies! Not only is it protected by patents, but it is strictly confidential when it is made and will never be disclosed to the public."
Zhou Xiaoshan breathed!
"Although it is very difficult, Fan Xudong made a fussy, soda ash industry still needs to be used, and his neck cannot be pinched by foreigners! I will be a student first, and then I will deal with you after I have learned your skills! At worst, I can pretend to be a grandson first!"
"But foreigners are not fools. You are such a powerful chemical entrepreneur, and you don't have the opportunity to pretend to be a grandson. When inspecting the Sulvi legal alkali production factory in Britain, France, and other countries, he hit a wall many times and was not allowed to enter the scene. When visiting the Bonnemen alkali factory in the UK, the arrogant owner mocked him, "You don't understand the alkali production process, just look at the boiler room!"
"Do you know what it means to learn to build a factory and see a boiler room?"
Seeing that the big-headed soldiers were shaking their heads, Liu Xiang didn't help Zhou Xiaoshan explain!
"For example, the chief Li Zongren of the Gui Army or Yan Laoxi from the Jinsui Army should see our 66th Division, and the division seat will invite him to visit the thatched cottage!"
"Isn't this an insult?"
The big head soldier was filled with righteous indignation. Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui felt that this kid was so terrible!
One by one, one by one, a group of people were excited!
Chapter completed!
