    In order to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, both of them are interested in getting closer.  So, after talking about the business, Yang Shaowen and Zhang Jianmiao chatted some more. The topic started with their hobbies and interests, and then gradually turned to their views on the current situation.  When talking about the current situation, it is natural that we cannot do without the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" that was humiliating and humiliating the country.  Although Zhang Jianmiao is a businessman, he considers himself a scholar.  Scholars belong to the traditional Chinese "scholar" class and have always been very interested in national affairs, especially in the current situation of unprecedented changes in a thousand years.  Ordinary people may not have much reaction to the Sino-Japanese War, but scholars like Zhang Jianmiao were very shocked by the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War.  They really did not expect that the Qing court would suffer such a heavy defeat in this war and lose such huge rights and interests.  "A big empire can't stand up to the small Japanese pirates. Our court is really sick, and our nation is also sick!" Zhang Jianmiao was heartbroken about the current situation. He intuitively felt that there was a big problem in the country and that changes needed to be made.  Reform and reform are needed, and unchanged laws are not enough to survive.  But he was at a loss as to how to change. He only said that he wanted to learn from the West.  "Shao Wen, why do I think you don't seem to care much about the imperial court suffering such a huge defeat? Li Zhongtang signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki and paid so much indemnity and ceded so much territory. Aren't you sad and angry?" Zhang Jianmiao himself sighed for a long time.  After a while, I found that Yang Shaowen was calm and showed no emotion or anger, so he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.  "Of course I'm sad and angry. It's just that I'm just a small businessman, struggling for the survival of Bu Xing every day. No matter how much I pay attention to the important affairs of the court, it won't help. It just adds trouble, so why bother?"  Speaking of which, Yang Shaowen really did not have the intense grief, indignation and humiliation that scholars at this time had about the Sino-Japanese War of 1884 and the Treaty of Shimonoseki.  He feels that he is just a spectator now, just like watching a movie, watching historical events happening scene by scene around him.  Of course, when he first learned about the Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1899, and the century-old national humiliation from history books, he was also very angry and had a strong sense of humiliation.  But as I get older, this emotion has slowly faded.  In his era, although the country could not be said to be very strong, the days of being wantonly insulted were gone forever.  Because he can see the future, Yang Shaowen does not have the anxiety and confusion that scholars of this era have.  Zhang Jianmiao couldn't agree with Yang Shaowen's statement: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, not to mention this troubled time! Shao Wen, you are also a scholar. Could it be that you have been doing business for a few days and you really think you are a businessman?"  "Brother Jianmiao, isn't he also a businessman now?" Zhang Jianmiao was stunned, and then said with some self-deprecation: "Yeah, I really don't have the right to laugh at you, but I still think that we scholars should have the lofty ambition to stabilize the country and stabilize the country.  At this time when the country is in danger, people of insight should not only care about their own petty gains. " "Brother Jianmiao, in my opinion, the way to save the country is very simple as long as everyone in the country.  Just do your part and fulfill your responsibilities. Take me as an example. I am now the owner of a cloth shop. I just want to make my employees get generous wages and let them follow us.  A good weaver can increase labor remuneration, which is my contribution to this society. If everyone in the society can do their part and make their own contribution, then he is a strong individual and a country composed of strong individuals.  , is a strong country.¡± Yang Shaowen¡¯s words had a great shock to Zhang Jianmiao.  The more he tasted it, the more he felt that what Yang Shaowen said made sense.  A country composed of strong individuals is a strong country!  A very simple paragraph, but it has irrefutable correct logic, which is better than thousands of heroic words.  So how do you become a strong individual?  Also be a qualified businessman?  Zhang Jianmiao secretly shook his head.  He knew his own family affairs, and his ability to run a dyeing shop was very limited. Being the owner of Sanyangtai was really not what he wanted.  It's just that his family needs support and his workers need wages, so he has to shoulder the burden of Sanyang Taiqingfang.  He thought of teaching and educating people.  On the one hand, he himself is interested in this aspect, and to cultivate strong individuals, doesn¡¯t it need to start with education?  The more Zhang Jianmiao thought about it, the more excited he became. Suddenly, he seemed to have found a life path that suited him.  He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't even know when Yang Shaowen would say goodbye and leave.  Yang Shaowen naturally didn¡¯t know that his ordinary words would affect a person¡¯s life choices.  As soon as he came back, he devoted himself to improving the opponent's cocking machine.  Instead of throwing the drawings directly to Yuan Yicheng's Baoshan Wood Workshop, Yang Shaowen decided to let the company set up a new mechanical department and let this departmentResponsible for the development and improvement of handheld machines.  His company cannot just be a trading and distribution company, it must enter the physical manufacturing industry in the future.  The mobile phone in front of you is a good opportunity.  An area of ??more than 100 square meters was set aside in the cloth warehouse in Lamma Town as the site for the machinery department. In terms of personnel, Yang Shaowen recruited more than a dozen experienced craftsmen from the county through Yuan Yicheng's relationship, including 8 blacksmiths.  , 5 carpenters.  The company's current situation, although not very profitable, has improved its cash flow situation a lot and can fully support Yang Shaowen's small-scale R&D investment.  After about a month, the craftsmen in the Machinery Department have produced 5 prototypes.  Hand pull machines made by professional craftsmen are naturally much more reliable than those made by Yang Shaowen himself.  But even so, he has no plans to rush them into the market.  To become a mature product, the machine must be stable and reliable.  Speaking of which, it is just a shuttle device added to the original wooden loom, and the structure is quite simple.  But Yang Shaowen did not underestimate the quality of the machine.  The wheels, chutes, springs and other small parts in the shuttle are all made of iron. If the hand-operated machine bought by weavers breaks down, it is unlikely that they can repair it themselves.  In this era of inconvenient transportation and poor information, it is quite troublesome to ask someone to repair or replace parts.  Yang Shaowen wanted to promote the new shuttle technology, and the stability and reliability of the handheld machine was crucial. ? 5 prototype machines are currently being operated day and night by the most skilled weavers to undergo high-intensity fatigue tests.  Whenever there is a downtime problem, the craftsmen immediately solve it and analyze the cause of the failure.  In addition, Yang Shaowen also asked craftsmen to study the transformation of old wooden looms, with the goal of simplifying the transformation process into a fool-proof process that ordinary people can learn in one go.  Weaving households don't have much money, so the transformation of old machines will also be a big market.  The company's mechanical department has limited manpower, and it is impossible to send craftsmen to each home for installation and modification.  Since we want farmers to accept handheld machines, the price cannot be too high. This is an obvious business logic.  Therefore, reducing the cost of hand-operated machines as much as possible is another topic Yang Shaowen gave to the craftsmen.  A technology, from the beginning of an idea to the final maturity and finalization, is never achieved overnight.  According to Yang Shaowen's estimation, the mobile phone can be launched into the market around the beginning of next year.
