Chapter 349: Merger (please give me a monthly vote!)

The air in the morning is the freshest and most appropriate, and the morning is also the quietest moment when everything on the earth is about to wake up.

Many people like early morning and get up early. Some of them think that early morning is the time when people’s minds are the most clear, and handling things and judgments at this time is the most correct.

Therefore, early-awake people often start to deal with things in the early morning. For some people, routine work in the early morning is often a part of a person's habits and personality.

When a ray of sunlight shone into the villa in Yuntaishan, Fan Xudong, who had already woken up at 5 a.m., had already started his day's work early. As the general manager of Jiuda Jingyan Company, although Lianyungang provided him with a good investment and market environment, and even provided him with loans and the most important technology, he knew clearly that if Jiuda Jingyan Company wanted to achieve real development, it had to face Republic dyes.

Republic Dye is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ** Company. Compared with Jiuda Company, Republic Dyes, which started with the production of synthetic dyes, has only been established several months earlier than Jiuda Liquid Salt, but it has now developed into a large chemical enterprise famous all over the world.

The production of chemical dyes has always been monopolized by European countries. Taking the United States, a major country that has not participated in the war, as an example, before the war, only two or three chemical industrial companies were preparing to develop and produce dyes, but the market demand for chemical dyes is very large. Because Britain and Germany monopolized the world's dye supply and the backwardness of dye technology in various countries, after Britain and Germany stopped supplying dyes, the green cotton cloth turned gray, and after washing the printed cotton cloth, it turned into scarlet red.

Originally, civilians from all countries could only endure all this, and printing and dyeing merchants could only expect British dye companies to free up their hands to produce some dyes and sell them. However, the Republican dyes in Lianyungang solved this problem as soon as possible. In the past six months, synthetic dyes produced by Republican dyes have been continuously transported to all parts of the country by train, and at the same time they were transported to the United States and India by merchant ships. While the dyes were exported, Republican dyes also became famous all over the world.

Compared with Republic dyes, which have grown into a giant, Fan Xudong's establishment of Jiuda Jingyan Company is simply an insignificant enterprise. But deep in Fan Xudong's heart, he hopes that one day he can grow into a large chemical company like Republic dyes. Although he knows that this dream is a bit like a fool. What's more, Jiuda Jingyan Company also has shares in ** Company.

The Xinhai Revolution broke out and the provisional government of the Republic of China was established. Fan Xudong's brother Fan Yuanlian was invited by Cai Yuanpei to serve as the deputy director of the Ministry of Education, and Liang Qichao became the judicial chief of the Yuan family. Fan Xudong also returned to China with his wife with patriotic enthusiasm, and was recommended by Liang Qichao to the Ministry of Finance. At that time, the Ministry of Finance wanted to convert the silver dollars with the "Longyang" pattern on the circulating market into silver dollars with the bust of Yuan Shikai. Fan Xudong was sent to the mint to be responsible for the laboratory analysis of silver dollars. This was his first official position.

According to the coin regulations, the weight of each silver dollar is seven cents and two cents, and the content of sterling silver is 96%. However, the mint cut corners and embezzled it from it, and arbitrarily reduced the content of sterling silver. Fan Xudong worked hard every day to test it, but always found that the analysis results did not meet the standards. He repeatedly reported upwards and asked to recast the furnace, but none of them were allowed. In anger, he resigned resolutely two months later. This was the first time he had tasted the best in the officialdom. This was also a strong determination to seek another way and find a way out.

Salt has been one of the most important daily necessities for mankind since ancient times, and the salt administration is also one of the important materials monopolized by Chinese governments in history. However, until the establishment of Jiuda fine salt, although the Chinese people maintained abundant marine resources, the salt they consumed was still coarse salt made by the local method, which was low in efficiency, low in purity, and contained many harmful substances. At that time, Western developed countries had clearly stipulated that salt with a sodium chloride content of less than 85% should not be used as feed; and in many places in China, salt with a sodium chloride content of less than 50% is still used for people to eat. Some Westerners once ridiculed China as a "native-eating nation". In fact, it is not difficult to make fine salt, and the cost is not high. It is just that China lacks chemical talents and no one has been involved.

That is, after the Ministry of Finance resigned, Fan Xudong went to Lianyun. When he was hesitating whether to enter the Republic dye, he learned that Lianyungang was just an abandoned salt farm in the past, unexpectedly made the decision to set up a salt company to make refined salt. While using his brother's connections to develop shareholders to attract investment, he tried to apply for a loan to Huaihai Industrial Savings Bank. To his surprise, the bank not only approved the loan he proposed for 500,000, but also provided him with a soda ash process.

This was really beyond his expectations. Fan Xudong, who was a major in chemical engineering, naturally knew what pure salt is. Alkali and sodium carbonate are one of the most basic chemical raw materials. There are two methods for making alkali: one is the Lubran method, that is, using sodium sulfate as raw material to make alkali; the other is the Sulvi method, that is, using sodium chloride and limestone as raw material to make alkali. The latter method is more purified and very popular. European countries have formed a patent monopoly in technology and will never be disclosed to the outside world. Even the soda ash in Japan is monopolized by the British Bunemen Company.

With the support of ** Company, Jiuda Jingyan Company not only built underground rock salt brine drilling and underground brine salt farms in northern Jiangsu, with an annual salt production of 100,000 tons, but also established a soda ash production workshop for production every year.

Although Jiuda Jingyan paid 45 shares for this, in Fan Xudong's opinion, all this is worth it. Soda ash made Jiuda Jingyan have a trump card product, especially when the great powers fought to the death on the main battlefield in Europe, and the production and sales of soda ash in the international market were affected. Due to supply problems in the Asian soda ash market, alkali prices have risen again and again. Some glass factories, paper mills, textile factories, and dye factories that use soda ash as the basic raw material are struggling in difficulties. Three months ago, the production of the Jiuda Jingyan Soda ash workshop not only broke the cage break, but also replaced Bu Neimen Company, which occupied the supply of soda ash of 45 in Japan in a short period of time, and made a monthly profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan.

But everyone has certain ambitions. For Fan Xudong, he hopes to establish a certain "chemical kingdom". Just soda ash cannot satisfy his ambitions. To realize the dream of "chemical kingdom", Fan Xudong knew that the first thing he needed to solve was talents and technology, which is also the prerequisite for attracting investment. Scientific research took precedence in production. At the beginning of this year, China's first private scientific research institution, Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Society. Although the scale cannot be compared with the "Chemical Research Institute" of Republic dyes, at least one beginning, scientific research must be produced before production in order to make the company competitive.

Republic Dye, Chinese rayon, and harvest phosphate fertilizer. Looking at the three companies in the document, these are the only three chemical companies in China at present. Among them, Republic Dye is the largest and most well-known. Republic Dye and Chinese rayon are wholly-owned subsidiaries of ** Company.

"Get a good harvest of phosphorus fertilizer, Yu Hongyu!"

Looking at the information on the desktop, Fan Xudong smiled a little on his face. Yu Hongyu was a student of the Chemistry Department of Dehua University. However, he dropped out of school and founded Fengcheng Phosphorus Fertilizer Company with the help of his huge bonus for discovering the Jinping Phosphorus Mine. The phosphorus fertilizer he produced was mainly sold to the China Agricultural Technology Research Institute, a research farm with millions of arable land.

"We can start with Hongyu first!"

Fan Xudong whispered to himself that around the Spring Festival, he had been thinking about how to establish a "chemical industry empire" in China. If you want to establish such an "empire", you must avoid internal friction from Chinese chemical companies, and it is extremely necessary to establish a large chemical monopoly enterprise.

Only by shaking hands into one fist can you exert all your strength, merge the three enterprises to form a large chemical enterprise! However, because of capital and scale, Fan Xudong understood that this path would definitely not be as easy as he imagined.

And today, today is the beginning!

Fan Xudong, who was wearing the red tie in front of the mirror, looked back at his wife's face, and was about to leave the house, smiled happily, and said to Xu Fu, his wife who he knew when he was in Japan, who was studying in Japan like him:

"I'm going to work!"

Xu Fu also smiled, looked at Fan Xudong quietly and said:

"Come back early!"

As a teacher in middle school, she knew that today was a big day for her husband, an unprecedented big day.

"Waiting for your good news!"

"Um!"

Fan Xudong responded lightly, smiled at his wife, and then walked out of the house.

Three weeks passed, on this day, in the 28th floor of the top office of the ** company headquarters building, Mu, the director and general manager of ** company, sat in a leather armchair. He glanced at the report in front of him again, and then made a skillful instruction. Now ** company has long developed into China's largest enterprise, and even the largest enterprise in Asia. He owns Asia's largest coal mine, the largest iron ore, the largest steel mill, the largest..., but none of this is the most important thing. The most important thing is that he owns the longest private railway in Asia. On both sides of this private railway, there are railway stations centered on the railway station, and commercial cities with industrial areas scattered outside the commercial area. This is the most important thing.

As the general manager of ** Company, Mu Bi, even Li Zhiyuan, knows better that the current ** Company has actually reached the "enemy country's territory". Compared with China, this company has too much capital, and every day, companies affiliated with ** Company start construction or start production. On both sides of the railway from Lianyungang to Chang'an, there are as many as 4,000 companies directly planned to invest in dozens of station affiliated areas.

Too big!

Mu murmured to himself in his heart that, except for a few of the subsidiaries, most of the other companies are directly invested and managed by ** companies. This invisibly makes the company's management more and more complex and increases management costs.

"One industry, one enterprise!"

Mu Fan looked at the report on the desktop. It was the report he was going to hand over to Zhiyuan to rectify the company's company's company, make a comprehensive adjustment to the company's industrial department, and implement the principle of "one industry, one enterprise" within the company. Each industry has a monopoly company, and then merge the affiliated companies into this monopoly company. Then the monopoly company manages those branches and is responsible for the investment and development of the entire industry. As the head office, ** Company only manages the industry companies through equity holdings.

This is the company's future development strategy formulated by Taylor, the company's senior consultant. According to that strategy, after the reorganization, the ** company will form a huge Kangcaien. This huge Kangcaien Group will shoulder the industrialization mission of the entire China in the future, and the ** company will be responsible for China's industrial planning and development.

At that time, ** Company will be closely linked with this country and form an inseparable combination, and will be the world's first country and enterprise consortium.

"Company, country..."

When this thought arose in his heart, Mu only felt a trembling slight under his heart, and he felt a sense of fear involuntarily, but he didn't know where that fear arose.

Stand up from the large desk, walk through the room, walk to the flower window on the south wall, and stare at the people and vehicles on the No. 1 Street downstairs.

Now this place has become the heart of the entire Lianyungang, and Lianyungang is the leader of the steel dragon of Longhai. In the future, the steel dragon of Longhai will become a powerful engine leading the development of China's industry and commerce. This place will not only become the heart of the financial industry empire, but also the economic heart of the whole of China.

While looking out the window, Mu suddenly had an illusion that the whole of China had become a jungle, and ** Company is a tiger in this jungle, which will devour everything in this jungle.

"bell……"

At this moment, the phone rang, and I walked to the table and picked up the phone.

Minutes later, the door mounted on the wooden wall was built, and when it closed, it looked like part of the wall.

"Mr. Fan, please sit down!"

It was Fan Xudong who came. When he entered Mu's office, he looked at the spacious office. This was not the first time he came to this office, but this time he came here, his mood was completely different.

"Manager Mu!"

After gently bowing his head, Fan Xudong sat on the chair.

"Well? Why didn't Manager Yu come with you? It's really gratifying to merge Kuyawa Fengshou into a company!"

When talking about the merger of Wynn and Fengshou, Mu Dao looked at Fan Xudong carefully. The merger of the two companies seemed to have no impact on Lianyun. But in fact, to some extent, this means that the companies invested in Lianyungang have entered a new stage of development. Whether it is Jiuda or Fengshou, ** holds shares. To a large extent, he is happy to see the merger of the two companies, because the merger of these two companies means that a larger chemical company appears in Lianyungang. Scale is the most basic development path for the company.

"Manager Mu, when merging, I would like to thank your company for your help. Without your help, the two companies would not have merged so smoothly."

When thanking him, Fan Xudong observed Mu. When the two companies merged, Mu could be said to have made a lot of efforts and even made certain concessions in holding shares. However, what he wanted to talk to him today...

Swallow the elephant with a snake!

Although he had not spoken yet, Fan Xudong knew what Mu would think once he spoke. For anyone who knows the scale of Republic dyes, he knew that compared with Republic dyes, the scale of Wynn Chemical was like a dwarf in front of a giant.

"The merger of the two companies is a good thing for China's chemical industry and will only promote the development of China's chemical industry..."

Mu had a smile on his face. After the two companies merged into Wynn Chemical, Wynn Chemical's stock on Lianyungang Stock Exchange increased by 18 as soon as it opened. Although ** made certain sacrifices when the company merged, its market value increased significantly.

More importantly, there is an additional large-scale enterprise in Lianyungang, and Zhiyuan is even planning to give them a gift, a gift containing more than 500 chemical patents, but the gift has not been given yet, perhaps, now is an opportunity.

"...The merger of the two companies into one company is not only conducive to reducing unnecessary competition, but also conducive to the competition among Chinese chemical companies in the domestic and international markets! With so many benefits, the company will naturally be happy to see it!"

“What if Wynn and Republic merged into one business?”

Almost as soon as Mu's voice fell, Fan Xudong spoke, and a smile appeared on his face.

Wynn and Republic merge into one business!

His brows suddenly jumped, and Mu looked at Fan Xudong in surprise. What is a snake swallowing an elephant when he was not satisfied with human hearts? Perhaps this... But when this idea came out, Mu knew that for Fan Xudong, he was definitely not a greedy person, and greedy people would not make such suggestions so bluntly. So what did he want?

After pondering for a while, Mu Dao said nothing to mock the other person, but the smile on his face disappeared. His originally seemed a little serious now.

"Can you tell me the reason? Mr. Fan!"

"compete!"

Fan Xudong calmly spit out two words.

"Even now, whether it is Wynn or the Republic, we need to face competition from European and American chemical companies. While we are eager to enter the international market, chemical companies from various countries also occupy a certain market in China. If we want to explore overseas, we must first consolidate ourselves. If we consolidate ourselves, we must avoid any unnecessary competition and form a trend of external consistency through the monopoly of enterprises."

For the next two hours, Fan Xudong kept talking about his reasons, while Mu just listened quietly. Finally, when his voice fell, Mu smiled slightly, but finally his smile subsided.

"Then, why can't it be the Republican Annexation Wynn!"

...
Chapter completed!
