s: Because the word "Baath Party" was blocked, the protagonist's party had to be renamed "Chinese Scientific Socialist Party" A 5000-word chapter, please recommend and collect it. oohaha Created a group: 237838253 Coppers who support this book are welcome to join, as well as the staff group and setting party.
January 5, 1908, the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu's reign, Baima Industrial Zone.
Wen Desi is looking at last year's financial statements.
According to Zhao Xiaolu's suggestion, all company reports this year have adopted later forms, and unified weights, measures and units, which seems to be a lot easier.
Xingke Group's revenue increased significantly last year.
Ballpoint pens, as the largest foreign exchange earner, brought a net profit of US$37.65 million to General Literature, and lighters earned US$21.3 million.
Due to the patent authorization of filters and the opening up of the domestic market, Pacific Tobacco Company's profits have increased the most, more than six times the previous year, reaching 20.55 million US dollars.
It is estimated that this year it will surpass lighters and become the second largest profit maker.
"It seems that tobacco is still making money.
No wonder those tobacco giants are all fat and oily.
We don't have much hope for the European and American markets.
We need to speed up the development of the domestic market.
The profits of lighters are not expected to increase much this year.
After all, this thing is not a consumable.
A lighter can be used for at least seven or eight years.
It seems that special fuel for lighters will be developed this year.
Consumables are the most profitable."
Home appliances products, led by Galaxy Electric Company, also sold US$18.76 million worldwide.
In addition to the household vacuum cleaners and tungsten incandescent lamps launched the year before last, they also launched the "Little Swan" washing machine and the "Desun" radio. grow new products.
The washing machine was first invented in 1858, but it was still done by manpower.
It has been improved many times in the following decades, but its performance is still mediocre and its sales are not good.
Washing machines were truly accepted after World War I.
This had to wait until 1922, when Snyder in the United States invented an agitating electric washing machine and mass-produced it in Iowa.
The washing machine was welcomed by people as soon as it was put on the market due to its greatly improved performance.
Galaxy Electric launched a pulsator washing machine that adopted a mature design in the 1990s.
Its performance completely exceeded people's imagination at the time, and it had all functions such as timing, gearing, and dehydration.
In order to adapt to the market, the products are divided into three types, double cylinder, single cylinder and dehydrator.
The double-tub washing machine is priced at US$150, the single-tub washing machine is US$90, and the dehydrator is US$85.
The "Little Swan" washing machine was instantly well-received upon its launch.
The first batch of 30,000 units was sold out within a week.
The question of who invented the radio remained unclear until the 23rd century.
But in 1907, this thing certainly didn't exist in the world.
But most of the components it uses, such as coil antennas, tuners, receivers, sparkers, etc., have already appeared.
Yinhe Electric just assembled these things, and of course they must have used mature designs from later generations.
If there were no radio programs, no one would buy radios.
After all, the Zenith Star Consortium is a new consortium.
Although it has advanced technology, it cannot compare with those old consortiums in terms of connections, and the broadcasting company cannot be established without connections.
So Balnazar cooperated with Morgan in accordance with the previous agreement and established the first broadcasting company in the Americas.
Morgan is so smart.
As soon as he heard Balnazar's introduction to the broadcast company, he immediately realized that this was a huge business opportunity.
So the two parties hit it off and established the "American Broadcasting Company" ABC, with each party holding 40 shares and other related parties holding 20.
On March 1, 1907, the program was officially launched, and radios were sold simultaneously across the United States.
There were too few ways to entertain people at that time, so radio became very popular as soon as it was launched.
Being able to listen to news and various entertainment programs while sitting at home is such a convenient way of entertainment that makes American hicks extremely happy.
Besides, the casing of the radio is very beautiful.

It has everything from mahogany Gothic style, teak Victorian style, brass Arabic style to cloisonné Chinese style.
It is completely at the level of handicrafts.
Not only for listening to programs, but also for decoration at home. of loftiness.
The most expensive one is the cloisonné floor-standing radio, which has an elegant appearance, beautiful decoration, and is equipped with stereo speakers.
Each unit costs US$2,000.
It is the fastest-selling one, with 2,000 units sold out within two days of being launched.
Of course, radios cannot just be high-end products.
The more listeners, the better.
Therefore, there is also the cheapest popular version, which is about the same size as a table clock.
It has a pine wood shell and a simple appearance.
It does not have any gorgeous decorations and does not have the large speakers of high-end models.
However, the unit price is only 12 US dollars, and ordinary working-class people can also buy it.
This price is almost completely unprofitable and is entirely for the purpose of building a future broadcast network.
Last year, 160,000 radios of various styles were purchased, and orders have exceeded 300,000.
Of course Mr.
Wen will not forget to promote the killer weapon of radio in China.
Last year, five radio stations were established in Sichuan, Hubei, Shanghai, Tianjin and Hong Kong.
However, China does not have as many rich people as the United States.
There are fewer people willing to buy it and there are fewer places with electricity.
Therefore, only more than 40,000 units have been sold in total, including several thousand units distributed to various institutions and units.
"This home appliance market is indeed profitable, especially when there are almost no competitors."
Wen Desi picked up another report with satisfaction.
Due to last year's "Dingwei Revolution", the Qing court and revolutionary parties in various places were in urgent need of a large number of weapons.
Cobra Arms Company's arms have slightly better quality than similar products, lower prices, and smooth and flexible sales channels.
A big hit in the Chinese market.
Firearms using 7mm ammunition have become the first choice of all forces in China, and their market share has been on par with the 7.92mm German-made firearms that were favored by the Chinese military in the past.
Mr.
Wen made more than 8.6 million U.S. dollars from various arms.
The payment methods of Amalgam Company and Sith Company are very flexible.
In addition to the gold, silver, and oceans earned, there are also a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, rare jewelry, and other items. , most of these things were copied by the revolutionary party from the homes of Eight Banner nobles and Qing court officials.
They all say "antiquities from prosperous times".
In this troubled world, of course these things are worthless.
The valuations of these two foreign companies are extremely low, but the revolutionary parties also got these things for nothing, so they don't feel bad at all.
Those with melons and two dates were sold.
Balnazar also did a bad thing that destroyed history.
In May last year, he bought Pepsi-Cola for $600,000.
In July, it spent another $1 million to buy the Coca-Cola Company and merged them into the "Red Bull Beverage Company", so both Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola became subsidiaries of Red Bull.
Last year, various beverages produced by Red Bull Beverage Company successfully entered the European market and were also sold in the Asian market.
Together with the American market, they earned a total of US$3.16 million.
Then there is the "Shuguang Daily Necessities Company" which was put into operation in April last year and is also owned by the Zenith Star Consortium.
The main products are three new products: washing powder, soap powder, and shampoo for use with washing machines, as well as soap and toothpaste using later formulas.
Well, Procter & Gamble is doomed, and they will have nothing to do with it from now on.
These inconspicuous little things are very profitable.
Although they have only been put on the market for more than half a year, they have already sold 2.45 million US dollars on the market.
Although the domestic Weigang has been put into production, it is basically handed over from the left hand to the right hand.

Most of the products are digested internally, so the profit is relatively low.
It only made 860,000 silver dollars and about 438,000 US dollars, mainly on the rails. .
The same is true for Xingke Aircraft Factory and Neijiang Shipyard.
All products are digested internally, and none of them are sold out, so there is no profit.
The hot-ball machines and supporting gas generators produced by Tuojiang Power Machinery Factory, which is a subsidiary of Xingke Machinery Factory, are sold throughout the country and exported to Japan and Southeast Asia, and even resold to Europe and the United States, earning US$2.65 million from this item.
The round nails, screws, various steel tools and agricultural tools produced by Neijiang and several hardware factories in Kyodo Society are also selling well domestically.
They have fully occupied the southwest and central-south markets, with profits equivalent to US$1.68 million.
Sichuan Sugar United Company, which was officially put into operation in February last year, is a manufacturing enterprise that includes deep processing projects such as sugar refining, paper making, brewing, monosodium glutamate, alcohol, feed, and cane wax.
In the past year or so, Xingke Group has been committed to integrating the sugar industry in Neijiang and other places.
After some consolidation, the original sugar industries in Neijiang, Zizhong, Ziyang, Jianyang, Jintang, Fushun and other places in the Tuojiang River Basin There are more than 6,000 sugar workshops, but now only more than 600 are left, and the others have been merged into Sichuan Sugar United Company.
The workers in these workshops have basically become workers of Xingke Company.
During the merger process, Xingke also adopted many gray and shadowy methods.
Of course, these methods were all aimed at reactionary evil forces such as black-hearted businessmen, local tyrants, evil gentry, and gangs.
For legitimate businesses, Xingke's approach was still It's very gentle, and there is always a bottom line in this article.
In addition, Sichuan Sugar directly signed a unified purchase contract with sugarcane farmers at a relatively conscientious price, and Huaxia Bank, a subsidiary of Xingke, provided low-interest loans with a monthly interest rate of 1, and provided high-quality sugarcane, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and technical guidance at low prices.
Sugarcane farmers at this time were very miserable.
Due to lack of funds, they were usually exploited by unscrupulous businessmen with loan sharks with a monthly interest of more than 20 RMB, and then were purchased at a reduced price.
This double exploitation made the sugarcane farmers miserable.
Now Xingke The low-interest loans undoubtedly saved them.
The most important thing is the abnormal road construction of Xingke Company.
These road construction madmen have directly built roads to most of the villages and towns where sugar cane is grown.
They also use cars to drive to the production areas for transportation, which makes product transportation better than before.
I don’t know how many.
The conditions of the Sichuan Sugar Industry are undoubtedly better than those of those profiteers.
Only a fool would not do it.
As a result, a large number of sugarcane farmers invested in Sichuan Sugar and became exclusive suppliers.
As for the sugarcane farmers in the directly affiliated territory, let alone that.
Those benefits are enough to make their peers envious and jealous.
After the integration, the Sichuan Sugar Industry United Company has become a huge trust enterprise.
Last year it produced 200,000 tons of granulated sugar, 30,000 tons of brown sugar and rock sugar.
It almost monopolized the sugar industry in Sichuan and even the southwest, and accounted for five percent of the national output last year.
More than four quarters.
In addition, it also produced 300,000 tons of various finished paper and paper products, 80,000 tons of rum, 30,000 tons of alcohol, 3,600 tons of MSG, more than 6,000 tons of cane wax, and more than 70,000 tons of feed and fertilizer.
In addition to a large amount of internal digestion, Sichuan Sugar United Company's various products actually earned profits equivalent to more than 18.6 million US dollars in various markets last year.
Then there is the Weiyuan Glass Factory. 70% of this factory's products last year were internally digested, and because they spent a lot of energy on trial-producing various high-end glasses, their takeaway output was not much, and they only earned 73% in the domestic market.
Looks like tens of thousands of dollars.
The ammonia plant and alkali plant put into operation last year both belong to Sichuan Chemical Industry Company.
Most of the products of the ammonia plant are digested internally.
Explosives are mainly supplied to infrastructure construction in various places.
Road construction in Sichuan is simply impossible without explosives.
In many places, It was blown open by explosives.
The fertilizer produced is mainly supplied to the liberated areas controlled by the Kyodo Society, Xingke's own farms, and sugarcane farmers who have signed agreements.
These markets are sold at low prices, with very low profits, only a little over 1 million US dollars.
On the contrary, the United Soda Plant was put into operation at the same time and made a lot of money.
At that time, the country and even the whole of Asia were short of soda ash.

The quality and output of trona in the north were unstable and the transportation cost was high.
The products of European and American powers were extremely expensive.
The price of Sichuan Chemical's soda ash is only 70% of that of polycarbonate, so it sells well in the Asian market and earned US$4.2 million in profits last year.
As for other factories, such as agricultural companies, cement companies, building materials companies, sand and gravel companies, bamboo and woodware companies, ceramic companies, clothing companies, food companies, etc., these supporting companies that were not initially concerned with making money, their products are basically sold internally.
Digestion, but the combined profits of these factories are about 5.6 million US dollars.
The above items plus other sporadic income reached the equivalent of 150 million U.S. dollars.
These are industrial incomes.
In addition, the largest income is the confiscation of the Kyodo Society.
Local tyrants, evil gentry, corrupt officials, bandits, gangs and other reactionary forces in Hubei, eastern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi were all purged.
All family property and floating wealth were confiscated, and most of the land was distributed to poor farmers.
Apart from part of the floating wealth being used to compensate the victims, most of the rest was used as funds by the cooperative.
This part of the property includes various gold bars, silver ingots, and silver dollars, equivalent to more than 436 million U.S. dollars.
There are also some antique calligraphy, paintings and curios whose value is difficult to estimate.
These things are temporarily stored in the warehouse and properly sealed.
There is also a big input, which comes from the vassal treasury in Hubei.
The revolutionary army found various gold and silver and coins in the government treasury in Wuchang, which are equivalent to about 70 million silver dollars and 35 million U.S. dollars.
Zhang Zhidong, the "finance butcher" The nickname is indeed correct.
In the history of the original time and space, the vassal treasury handed over to Zhao Laoer by Zhang Zhidong before entering Beijing amounted to more than 70 million yuan.
After the Revolution of 1911, the revolutionary party found 40 million yuan worth of gold and silver currency in the vassal treasury. , and now because the Kyodo Society came in too quickly, the money hasn’t had time to be spent much.
"Hey, we have worked so hard to set up factories and make money, but the robbery doesn't happen as quickly as it did.
You see, in just one and a half provinces, Rossi and the others have robbed more than 470 million U.S. dollars."
Wen Desi shrugged, with a depressed look on his face.
Said to Gu Xiaolu.
Gu Xiaolu rolled his eyes and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, but this is just a one-time income.
You have to think about how long those rich and powerful people have been searching for it.
I saw some briefings sent by Rossi.
Some Gold bricks and silver winter melons are even from the early Ming Dynasty.”
After a pause, she picked up another report and said happily: "Mr.
Wen, look at this.
Tianjin's Delong Bank plundered the Eight Banners' powerful people.
Last year, they made 14 million through loan sharking and other means.
Yuan" Wen Desi smiled and said: "Liu Yang likes playing financial traps the most.
I'm afraid no one in this world can play with him.
It's strange that those Eight Banners bumpkins don't get tricked."
Delong Bank in Tianjin is the bank that specializes in deceiving people, to be precise, it is used to defraud the Eight Banners powerful people.
Xingke's revenue last year was huge, but its expenses were also huge.
Such as various infrastructure construction such as road projects and water conservancy projects in the liberated areas, the construction of public welfare undertakings such as education and health in various places, the upgrading and transformation of Hanyang Iron Works and Arsenal, the upgrading and transformation of Daye Iron Mine and Pingxiang Coal Mine, and the expansion of the military, etc.
These are all costly projects.
The other is import.
Factories in various places need a large amount of mechanical products.
The Sichuan-Hankou Railway needs a large amount of rails.
Xingke Machinery Factory and Weigang alone cannot satisfy them, and they all need to be imported.
Another big project is agricultural products.
The Yangtze River Basin suffered a major flood last year.
Only Hubei recovered under the leadership of Kyodo News last year.

Several other provinces were still in desolation.
Therefore, Xingke imported agricultural products from the United States, Australia, India and other regions.
A large amount of grain, edible oil, cotton and other agricultural products.
Although various improved varieties and high-yielding crops have been promoted in the territory controlled by Xingke Group, due to the short time and limited output nationwide, it may or may not be able to meet the needs of disaster relief.
The great flood of 1906 caused misery in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with tens of millions of people affected.
Only those with a high degree of organizational power and direct control over the political power at the lowest level of society can recover quickly from a natural disaster of this magnitude.
When it comes to my Daqing's organizational ability, it's all a piece of cake.
They basically adopted a laissez-faire attitude toward the disaster area, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and pretending not to know.
The clan and gang forces that originally controlled the grassroots were also completely destroyed in this disaster.
The grassroots of the entire region were basically in a state of anarchy.
This is why the "Dingwei Revolution" caused a chain reaction in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. important reasons.
Because the people were completely disappointed with the Manchu and Qing government, the Manchu and Qing government also lost its last credibility.
By the time of the "Dingwei Revolution" last year, except for the Jiangbei region of Anhui, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River had basically become the territory of the revolutionary army.
However, the organizational strength of these revolutionary armies is not much better than that of the Qing Dynasty, and is even more tragic.
They are completely helpless about things like disaster relief and resumption of production.
Kyodo Society does have this organizational capability and can control the lowest levels of society, but they only control Hubei and are powerless in other regions.
However, according to Wen Desi's idea, even if he cannot preside over the recovery work in these places, he must at least save as many victims as possible.
This is not just out of humanitarian considerations, because in Wen Desi's view, human resources are the most precious thing.
Saving more people not only preserves the vitality of the country, but also for his future global plans, the country's human resources It is an indispensable thing
