    Yang Shaowen was ashamed.  Speaking of which, his Yang's Cloth Company is now a comprehensive enterprise involved in the production, circulation and sales of textiles. However, as the general manager, his understanding of the industry is not as broad as that of Lu Guangsheng, a traditional homespun cloth wholesaler.  I still have a lot to learn.  "President Lu seems to have done a lot of research on the textile industry in Thailand and Spain, which is a bit beyond my expectation." Lu Guangsheng was a little unhappy after hearing this: "I am so hasty to block your introduction of machine yarn and exclude new technologies. In  In your eyes, I am just an old antique who has never changed, right?" Yang Shaowen was a little embarrassed, but he didn't deny it.  "I don't know that my behavior is a bit of a trap. I just have to do it for the livelihood of the farmers. It's not that I have a high style, but that I came from among them and I know how difficult the life of farmers is. We  The Tong family, relying on the hard work of Grandma Tong Hai and her generation, used the little bit of yarn spun to have some savings. It is with this little savings that I can start Guangchanglong.  Career." Lu Guangsheng then briefly mentioned his experience of opening up Guangchanglong.  Yang Shaowen is also an entrepreneur himself and is well aware of the hardships and difficulties involved, so he also resonates with it very much.  "In Grandma Tong Hai's generation, spinning and weaving every day was very difficult. But as long as you were willing to work hard and study the craft, you could always have enough food and clothing. If you can save money and live carefully, you can still save some money.  Saving money to start a small business became increasingly difficult in the next few years. The price of yarn and cloth fell year after year. The farmers worked hard all year long and still had neither enough food nor clothing, let alone any savings.  During the year, machine yarn flowed into the local area, and the situation became even more critical. Many people could not even make a living by spinning. How could this happen? We have so many people here and so little land, and we can¡¯t support ourselves by farming, so"  Once, although Lu Guangsheng withstood Jisha's attack, he also knew that this was not a long-term solution.  Since then, he has often paid attention to information about the Western textile industry in order to study countermeasures.  His research has also attracted the interest of some knowledgeable local people, among whom Fu Hongyi of Futong Bank is one of them. Min Jingyuan, who is quite Western-minded, sometimes joins the discussion.  At this time, the late Qing court had been engaged in the Westernization Movement for some time. Although there is not much information in this area, it is not impossible.  In Shanghai, which has been open for half a century, there is still some mention of the European and American textile industry in many newspapers, periodicals and books.  After all, a brief introduction is only scratching the surface. It can only give you an outline of the outside, but it¡¯s hard to get inside.  Naturally, they found no useful coping strategies.  Lu Guangsheng sighed a little and said: "Our generation is getting old and we can't think of any good solutions. Originally, I wanted my son to go to Thailand and the West to study and study abroad, so that he could understand their textile industry. But this kid  Ah, you just don¡¯t give me credit. Sometimes I really envy Zhou Hengyuan. His son has learned some real skills after studying abroad in Manchester, but he can still help the family. "Fu Hongyi advised.  Sheng, Tong Hai is doing well now, don't talk about him anymore! " "It's okay! He is definitely unfilial. I will let him study textiles. I will let him become a navy. He will give it to you.  After a big defeat, running back in despair doesn't give you any peace of mind. Then, you go to lure Ji Sha in again.  "It seems that the old man is still angry at his son.  At this time, Min Jingyuan, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Yang Shaowen, our view of you has changed a lot compared to before. Mainly because I heard that you are researching some spinning machines. It can be seen that you have a deep understanding of the unemployed textile workers.  The farmers are not indifferent, and they are somewhat responsible. Secondly, you can start such a large business from scratch in just over a year, which shows that you are very good at business. I personally hope to see your company spinning.  You can also make a difference in yarn. If you can serve as the president of the local cloth industry chamber of commerce and make a difference in Wujin's spinning industry, Benzhi County will give you full support." Min Jingyuan and the other three looked at Yang Shao with bright eyes.  Wen's eyes were full of expectation, which made him feel a little guilty.  Although he has plans in this regard, he is not absolutely sure that he will be able to start the hand spinning industry.  He didn't want to take this guarantee.  He did not reply to them immediately, but asked: "You have been studying foreign gauze and foreign fabrics for so long. Do you have any other results? Tell me more. I found that even though I have been in the industry for nearly two years, I don't know.  There are still a lot of things. " Yang Shaowen also said this because the rural areas are really closed-off, especially in this era of extremely inconvenient transportation and communication, it is very difficult to get any information.  Since the few people in front of him have done some research on this aspect, of course he will not give up the invitation.Opportunities to teach.  Fu Hongyi said happily, "Although we haven't found any solutions, we still have a lot of insights after studying for several years. It doesn't hurt to tell you, I hope it can be helpful to you." Then,  He asked with some complacency: "We all know that most of the domestic machine yarns are imported from overseas, but do you know where they are imported from?" Yang Shaowen didn't know anything about this in detail.  According to common sense, he deduced: "It should mainly be from the UK. The yarn of our company is provided by the British-owned husband Mao Yang. There should also be many in the United States and Germany. They are all developed industrial countries in the West and have a lot of industrial products.  There is a strong desire to export the remaining goods overseas. Well, after the Sino-Japanese War, Japanese goods should also come in. "Wrong! It is neither the United Kingdom nor Germany. There may be a lot of Japanese yarn in the future, but it is not a phenomenon yet.  . In our country, almost all the machine yarns come from India, and most of the machine yarns we use locally are Indian yarns! ¡°This answer is really beyond Yang Shaowen¡¯s expectation.  In his mind, he may recognize the industrial strength of Western powers such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States, but he never thought that India would overwhelm China.  The machine textile industry can be regarded as a "high-tech" industry in Manchuria at present, and there are only a few decent textile factories in total.  At this time, India actually has such strong competitiveness and is strong enough to counterattack the Chinese market?  This reality shocked him a bit. It was really hard to imagine that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had become so weak that it was in such an unbearable situation.  Seeing that Yang Shaowen didn't seem to believe it, Min Jingyuan further explained: "Yes, it is Indian yarn. India is a British colony and there are many British-owned textile factories. I once saw a foreign media report that India  There are nearly 4 million spindles in the machine-made textile factory. We in the Qing Dynasty don¡¯t know if there are more than 100,000 spindles. Compared with India, we are far behind. It is not surprising that other people¡¯s machine yarns have entered the market. "
