    At the end of the 22nd year of Guangxu's reign (1896), the Tubu riots that had been so noisy slowly subsided.  Although the government's measures were blunt, after regulating the production and sales of new homespun cloth, the price of new homespun cloth gradually stabilized, and the retail price slowly rose back to the level of 4.8 cents per piece.  During this period, the remaining cloth shops or companies were busy adjusting and reorganizing.  Either they are raising funds to increase their cash strength, or they are re-examining contracts to standardize the foundry system, or they feel that the industry is already too profitable and they simply choose to exit.  Only Yang¡¯s Cloth Company is still expanding steadily.  Relying on its excellent cash flow situation and solid management level, Yang's Cloth Company has easily expanded its OEM scale to more than 20,000 households.  Due to the impact of the market turmoil some time ago and the regulation of production capacity, there are only about 100,000 OEM households left in the entire southern Jiangsu.  In addition, there are still about hundreds of thousands of retail households using hand-drawn machines and machine yarns. They are either retail households whose contracts were terminated due to the collapse of cloth companies, or simply farmers who have certain financial strength and choose to go it alone.  In this way, although the scale of Yang's cloth industry of 20,000 households may seem small, it is less than half of the level of United Cloth Industry at its peak.  But in fact, its OEM scale has accounted for 20% of the total, making it the most powerful new homespun cloth merchant in southern Jiangsu.  With an OEM scale of 20,000 households, if sales are guaranteed, the annual output can reach more than 8 million horses.  If converted into old homespun cloth, this output is twice the total output of homespun cloth in Wujin County.  Very amazing.  Of course, all this is happening quietly.  Keeping a low profile is king, and only by keeping a low profile can you make a fortune.  In the newly established office building, Yang Shaowen is writing an annual work summary.  At the end of the year, he needs to report the company's operating status to shareholders. He needs to sort out this year's business performance and various expenditures. He also needs to plan for next year's development goals and prepare a budget for the coming year's development.  As he wrote, he was thinking about how to open up the difficult situation of the rural yarn market.  The visit of three guests unexpectedly interrupted his thinking.  Among the three people, he only recognized the one on the left.  It was Lu Tonghai's father, Lu Guangsheng, who had met him once.  Perhaps knowing that Yang Shaowen was not familiar with the others, Lu Guangsheng introduced: "The person on the right is Fu Hongyi, the owner of Futong Bank, and the person in the middle is Min Zhixian of this county!" Yang Shaowen was a little stunned. He knew what was happening in front of him.  You are the main force that blocked Jisha in the first place. The two sides should be regarded as enemies. I wonder what they will do with me?  Among the three, Min Jingyuan was an official, and Yang Shaowen didn't know what salute to him. If he had to kneel down and kowtow, he would be a little reluctant.  Min Jingyuan is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, quite dignified and somewhat unsmiling.  "I'm here in casual clothes, so you don't have to be polite. I'm here to see you this time because I have business to discuss!" Yang Shaowen didn't give in, so he took the opportunity to move seats for them and let the guests sit down.  "What's wrong, Mr. Yang? Looking at your tense face, are you still thinking about banning you in the past and thinking of ridiculing us?" Lu Guangsheng is still the same as before, and his words are uncomfortable to listen to.  "No, I just don't know why you are looking for me, and I have some questions in my heart. As for the previous ban on Jisha, some of you here are doing it out of public interest. I don't dare to complain!" Yang Shaowen said it all, but there was something in his heart.  Tired and crooked.  You drag a county magistrate over, and even if I have complaints in my heart, I don¡¯t dare to say them out.  "It's good that you know. Although we didn't resist the yarn in the end, you Yang's Cloth Industry lived a happy life. But you also saw the result, leaving a mess that someone has to clean up." Lu Guangsheng still spoke more  Rushing, Fu Hongyi next to him touched his shoulder as a reminder.  He and Lu Guangsheng had agreed before coming that they were mainly here to seek reconciliation rather than quarrel.  Min Jingyuan put on a poker face and said with a serious look: "The original Zhixian County banned Jisha out of consideration for local stability. But things couldn't be done, and Jisha finally came in. The situation is like this, and I don't want to do more.  It's meaningless. You should also know that apart from banning you for a while, no drastic measures were taken against you later. "Min Jingyuan is an official, so he certainly won't think that he has anything to do with Yang Shaowen, a businessman.  No matter what kind of contest it is, it's all just a question of whether his hands are wide or tight.  Although Min Jingyuan looked a little arrogant like an official and spoke straightforwardly, Yang Shaowen felt that he was a good bureaucrat, not so frivolous, and that everything was business-like.  He still prefers to deal with such officials.  He raised his hands and thanked: "Master Min is absolutely right. Shao Wen is very grateful to Master Min for showing mercy to Yang's Cloth Industry!" Min Jingyuan waved his hand., said proudly: "Okay, the previous little misunderstanding has been resolved. Let's talk about business now!" According to the instructions of the Governor's Office, the local government needs to temporarily regulate the production and sales of new homespun cloth and stabilize the price of cloth until the newly elected guild  until it can function.  At present, the price of homespun cloth has stabilized again, but the retail price of 4.8 cents is still a bit low, and many cloth merchants are having difficulty operating.  If we want to continue to adjust prices upward, we must further regulate the production and sales of new homespun cloth.  ¡°After the initial critical situation, if we want to further regulate production and sales, it will become increasingly difficult to balance the interests of various localities.  Of course, local officials hope that the farmers under their rule will have jobs to do, and they all hope that the more local shares they can allocate, the better.  There is a contradiction.  If the government wants to carry out regulation, it naturally needs the support of big businessmen.  Especially the current Yang's Cloth Industry, which is already the largest cloth merchant in southern Jiangsu, is something Min Jingyuan can't get around even if he wants to.  "We in Wujin were the first to introduce hand-drawn machines and family OEMs. Even though we have compressed a lot of production capacity some time ago, our output has still more than doubled from before. Although I have tried hard, to be honest, other places can't.  Will we agree to such a large share in Wujin?" Min Jingyuan looked at Yang Shaowen and said, "I want to hear what you have to say?" Yang's cloth industry accounts for about half of the local production capacity in Wujin, which is directly related to  Of course, Yang Shaowen would take Yang's cloth industry's own interests seriously.  "The most direct thing is of course that we control the production capacity of our OEM households!" Min Jingyuan was a little disappointed, he could also think of this.  It's just that this will affect local interests to some extent and is not a good idea.  Yang Shaowen changed the topic: "But I think we still have a way to digest the current production capacity!" He set the company's OEM number at 20,000, which of course has his basis.  Because this scale of production capacity can almost be absorbed by the company's sales channels.  "Master Min, your government's current coordination is mainly in southern Jiangsu. Our Yang's Cloth Industry's sales channels have reached as far as Hubei, and our new homespun cloth also has this competitiveness. Therefore, we will use the extra production capacity in  If you digest it in other places, you won't be embarrassed in front of your colleagues." "That's good, that's good!" Min Jingyuan was really relieved after hearing this, and at the same time he was somewhat impressed by Yang's cloth industry.  Quietly, Yang's Cloth Industry, which was founded just over a year ago, has developed such power that its sales tentacles have even reached Hubei.  What's even more commendable is that they are not impatient or arrogant.  Many people may not know yet, but the young man in front of them is already the largest cloth merchant in southern Jiangsu.  Min Jingyuan calmed down and talked about another matter, which was the re-election of the local cloth industry chamber of commerce.  This is what he is currently concerned about.  As an official, he was really impatient to deal with these business regulation matters, and was anxious to let the Chamber of Commerce handle them.  "You also know that the local cloth industry chamber of commerce is currently somewhat unworthy of its name, and there is an urgent need for strong merchants to play a role in the chamber of commerce." Min Jingyuan looked at Lu Guangsheng, and finally said: "What President Lu means is that he wants you to be the leader of the Wujin Cloth Industry Chamber of Commerce.  President!" Yang Shaowen was a little stunned. He turned to look at Lu Guangsheng, wondering if the old man who always disliked him had taken the wrong medicine.
