    With a sound of "Wow!", the auditorium of more than 100 people heard thunderous applause. Everyone was intoxicated and excited by the beautiful prospects described by Yang Shaowen.  Shareholders, who originally had a lot of opposition, immediately became loyal supporters of the cooperative system.  Yes, although the cabbage heart is delicious, it is only a little bit in the middle. Although the cabbage leaves are not delicious enough, they are large and sufficient.  Why should we ignore the entire forest because of a few big trees?  The boss is the boss after all, and he always looks one step further than us!  This is what most shareholders are thinking at this moment.  After a while, everyone came back to their senses from the excitement just now.  Yang Shaowen then briefly talked about this year's profit distribution plan. Because we have to invest in yarn mills and cooperatives, the dividend rate will not be too large.  But after finally making a lot of money this year, Yang Shaowen didn't want everyone to be too disappointed, so he finally decided on a stock dividend plan totaling 40,000 yuan.  After the shareholders knew the company's business plan for next year, they were not dissatisfied with the dividend plan, and everyone was happy for a while.  In the crowd, Li Xiaofeng, Li Asheng's daughter-in-law, suddenly raised her hand tremblingly. She stood up and said: "I heard that the iron turbine developed by the company is very good, but it is too expensive and not easy to sell. I just want to ask about that machine.  What¡¯s the price? I want one. It can be considered as a contribution to the company.¡± Li Xiaofeng saw that her boss looked down on her, so she wanted to show off and make her husband look good.  She glanced at her husband, and sure enough she saw him nodding slightly, seemingly very satisfied with her general understanding.  Yang Shaowen listened to the music and said with a smile: "Sister Li, as long as there are no big problems in the company, your family's annual income of about 100 yuan can still be guaranteed. In this way, you can be considered a small rich man, and you are still  Are you thinking about weaving by yourself? " "What Shao Wen said, we are all farmers, how can we waste money on it? I will definitely continue to weave at home in the future!"  Haha, what Sister Li said is reasonable. Well, the current manufacturing cost of our iron turbine is 68 yuan. Sister Li wants to give it to you at the cost price. " Li Xiaofeng felt bitter after hearing this.  Show embarrassment.  She didn't expect this iron turbine to be so expensive. Not to mention that the company only allocated 10% of its profits as dividends this year, even if the entire 100 yuan profit was given to her, she wouldn't be able to part with it!  Of course, many people saw her embarrassment. Liu Sanfu laughed and scolded: "Xiaofeng's wife is really confused. Shao Wen has been talking about the cooperative for so long, what else do you have to be embarrassed about? Of course our Yangpu Village must establish it  It¡¯s the first production cooperative in Wujin County! With a cooperative, it¡¯s not difficult to buy an iron turbine.¡± With Liu Sanfu¡¯s reminder, the meeting room immediately became lively.  It didn't take long, and after a while of discussions with the aunts and ladies in several villages, the Yangpu Village Production Cooperative was officially established.  There are a total of 22 members in Yangpu Village Cooperative, with a share capital of 500 yuan.  What they don¡¯t know is that this is not only the first cooperative in Wujin County, but also the first cooperative in China.  (In the original history, the earliest cooperative in China was the "Peking University Consumer Commune" co-organized and founded by Professor Hu Jun of Peking University and his students in 1918) After briefly discussing a few articles of establishment, the Yangpu Village Production Cooperative immediately submitted a request to the company  Orders were placed for a complete set of handcrafted machinery ranging from cotton processing, spinning to weaving, such as churning wheels, rope-stringed bows, large spinning wheels, and iron wheels.  Yang Shaowen felt a little emotional. Just like his original gauze business, the villagers of Yangpu Village have become the first supporters of his cooperative business.  Amidst the hustle and bustle, just when everyone thought that today's shareholders' meeting was over, Yang Shaowen brought up the issue of changing the company's name.  "Changing the company name is something I have been considering for a long time. The company used to be called Yang's Cloth Industry, and I didn't think there was much of a problem at that time. But now it seems a little inappropriate. After all, the company belongs to everyone, not to me, Yang."  Shaowen is the only one.¡± Although Yang Shaowen also knew that many companies were named after the founders¡¯ names or surnames, he was still not satisfied and felt that it was too petty.  "Originally, I hadn't decided what to change the company's name to. A few days ago, Magistrate Min, Chairman Lu, and the rich boss of Fortis Bank came to visit. What they said shocked me deeply!" Then, Yang Shao  Wen recounted the conversation that day to shareholders.  Similarly, everyone was shocked by the annual cotton yarn import volume of 40 million taels, and further understood why Yang Shaowen decided to enter the cotton yarn industry.  He said in a low tone: "Many of you may know that our country is called the country of silk outside. We have been a textile power since ancient times. To a certain extent, it is relying on the country of silk.With the smooth flow of goods, our textiles were exported to all parts of the world. This was the reason for the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.  But now, can our textile industry still see the glory of our ancestors?  there is none left.  Nowadays we can only make a living by planting mulberry and raising silkworms for foreigners and selling raw silk. In the larger cotton products market, the market is flooded with British fine cloth, American coarse cloth and Indian cotton yarn. We can only make ends meet by relying on the homespun market.  maintain.  " "Our company is engaged in textiles. Faced with the current situation, I don't know how everyone feels.  I feel deeply ashamed myself and feel ashamed of my ancestors.  Therefore, I have set the first mission for our company, which is to revive our country's textile industry and revive the glory of our ancestors' textile empire.  " "The second mission I have set for our company is to shoulder the important task of national rejuvenation.  This may seem a bit far-fetched to many of us, or even something that a small rural company like ours should be responsible for.  But I admire this saying very much, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.  We are not living in a time of peace and prosperity now, but in the midst of an extremely deep national crisis.  Especially during the First Sino-Japanese War, all major powers saw the weakness of the Qing court and stared at us. Our country was on the verge of life and death.  In such an environment, it is absolutely impossible for us to turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window and only focus on making easy money.  " "Although our abilities are limited, since we are also members of the Chinese nation, we should contribute our own strength to the country's salvation and survival.  We are engaged in industry, so we should proceed from our own profession, take the road of industrial salvation, and contribute to the great cause of national rejuvenation.  " He then looked at the shareholders below. Many of them were introduced by Lu Tonghai and had experienced the Sino-Japanese War. "Many of you are sailors of the Beiyang Navy. I don't know if you are still aggrieved by the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War.  pregnant.  But it doesn't matter, you may not have the chance to regain what you lost at sea.  But on the textile front, you will definitely have a chance for revenge.  I can tell you responsibly that the Japanese mainly rely on textiles to earn foreign exchange. If you defeat them on the textile front, the Japanese will not have any capital to build warships.  Whatever hatred or grudge you have in your heart can be avenged.  " Including Lu Tonghai, many former sailors of the Beiyang Navy, their eyes immediately brightened up and showed their brilliance. Yang Shaowen's words did open a new window for them. " Yang Shaowen was not blind.  You can have high aspirations, but you must also be down-to-earth. He changed his tone and reflected on his business experience in the past few years. ¡°Although I gave up writing and doing business because of the pressure of life, I also had the idea of ??reviving my ancestors¡¯ family business.  .  Although I don¡¯t know if my parents in heaven are satisfied with my choice of business, from a wealth perspective, I have partially realized my wish to revive my family business.  " "If you go back several generations, you will definitely be able to find a time when your family was prominent.  From a personal perspective, we work hard and strive hard. In addition to supporting our family and making a living, it is not a good choice to set our goal as reviving our family business.  " "I say all this just to let the employees and shareholders here understand and even understand our company's mission and responsibilities.  That is family rejuvenation, industrial rejuvenation, and national rejuvenation.  The name of our company must reflect this sense of mission.  " "I propose that our Yang's Cloth Company be renamed Fuxing Company!  " Shareholders felt that their eyes seemed to become suddenly enlightened, and there was a trembling excitement all over their bodies. They understood that this was the result of being called upon by something called a sense of mission. " Work is no longer just for making a living.  It is a responsibility, a responsibility to the family, the industry, and the entire nation. What Yang Shaowen said is so good. Many people feel very noble and happy at this moment. In the end, Yang.  Shao Wen's proposal to change the company's name to Fuxing Company was unanimously approved by the shareholders' meeting. Not only that, everyone also agreed that today, January 27, 1897, would be the company's anniversary.  The company has been reborn like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
