Chapter 15 Enter Adego

In the past half a month, Yang Rui has been thinking about MSG, but the MSG market always takes time to cultivate it, so that the profits in the past few years were very low, and it may not even be possible. So he thought of several other projects, such as the match recipe mentioned in a time travel novel, as well as soap and toothpaste. In the laboratory, Zhong Guanguang took several students to do experiments, mainly repeating the experiments to get more data. Zhong Guanguang was just a routine guide at the beginning, but later he simply went straight to the battlefield. Comrade Lao Yu was left in the instrument hall. Fortunately, he had strong business ability and the guy worked hard, so there was no trouble.

Yang Rui returned to the instrument hall and went directly to the attic laboratory. He had to check the progress every day. When he entered the laboratory that day, he saw Yu Huizu was also there. He also brought a neat and capable middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament. When Yu Huizu saw Yang Rui coming, he hurriedly introduced each other. The middle-aged man laughed at first: "It's better to meet him than to be famous. Mr. Yang is worthy of being a talented person in Western learning and has a good appearance."

Yang Rui was very familiar with such a way of playing in person, and quickly responded: "I dare not, Mr. Yu is the role model of our businessmen. I heard about Mr. Yu earlier, and it was really admirable to be proud of him." Today, Brother Ador came to see something like MSG that foreigners don't have. After tasting it, he praised it and said it was indeed a good thing. He asked about the cost of craftsmanship. He heard that there was a laboratory in the attic and came up to watch it again. Just as he was watching, Yang Rui came back.

Everyone went to the living room downstairs to continue talking. After this Ador came out of Lulin Foreign Company, he went to Daosheng Foreign Company to work as a comprador. He was responsible for the business with Chinese merchants. He should have accumulated a lot of savings in his 20 years in Shanghai and his connections were wider. What Yang Rui was most interested in was his connections, and more indeed, the connections between Ningbo merchants in the Yangtze River Delta River Basin. After the opening of the port in Shanghai, foreigners did not choose Guangdong merchants who came from Guangdong, but chose Ningbo merchants, so that Ningbo merchants stood out from Guangdong, Fujian, and Shanxi merchants and took the lead. This is the reason.

In recent years, with the stability of silk and tea trade, compradors who made money tried to start industries. After discovering the high profits, they competed to invest. Of course, because of their lack of understanding of technology and the market, these investments were mostly imitation behaviors and won at low prices. The origin of the word "counterfeit" should have started here, but even so, these people still stumbling to establish and accumulate the foundation of the future industry in the Republic of China.

Adger is still optimistic about MSG, but he is also worried about the maturity and cost of manufacturing technology. After all, except for the porcelain, silk and tea left by his ancestors, there seems to be no domestic product that can be made better than foreigners. Yang Rui has nothing to persuade him about this. While talking about MSG, Adger suddenly pulled the foreign fire. He saw the match experiments performed by the laboratory. The fire rate is higher than that of imported matches. Currently, the market is full of matches from Sweden and Japanese. They are mainly safe matches. Domestic matches are mainly yellow phosphorus matches. This type of matches is not safe and easy to ignite spontaneously. Moreover, the yellow phosphorus of the matches is highly toxic. Although this is the case, because of the low production technology and low price, it is also very popular. As for safe matches, there are also domestic matches, but the quality is relatively poor, and it is very easy to recover. The medicine head falls off, resulting in a very low ignition rate.

After hearing this, Yang Rui naturally knew what Adler thought. At present, it seems that matches are indeed a good project. Foreigners don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them when they open the market. As long as they can make matches with a quality that is not inferior to imported goods, they can succeed. However, all the raw materials for making matches must be imported, and this low price is just a fake low price. Lessons from later generations made Yang Rui not like this, because pursuing low prices will eventually pass on the pressure to manual wages. Modern sweatshops are already terrifying enough, and sweatshops in the late Qing Dynasty should be even more terrible.

So he made a rational idea and said, "Mr. Yu, safe matchmaking actually has no technical content. The important thing is nothing more than the recipe of process and medicinal materials. Now we have solved the formula problem in the experiment. All the remaining process problems are process problems, because the instrument museum is still relatively small and there is no way to place machines to experiment with the technology. But as long as there is enough time to experiment, the process is not a problem. These are all small matters, but the key is still raw materials. Now which match factory in China is not imported? They are all imported. If the raw materials cannot be solved, the purchase price and quantity will be subject to foreigners. At that time, the larger the company scale, the greater the loss."

Brother Ador became solemn when he heard Yang Rui say this call. According to his understanding, if he really squeezed out all the foreigners' goods, he would never give up with his understanding of those foreigners. The raw materials were not stuck, and just raised the price slightly, the problem would be very serious. He turned his mind a few times and said, "Why do Mr. Yang think this foreign fire factory should be done?"

Yang Rui said: "The main raw materials of matches are potassium chlorate, red phosphorus, sulfurization ladder, and manganese dioxide. The most expensive ones are red phosphorus. The current price is more than 110 yuan per 100 jin, followed by potassium chlorate, about 40 yuan per 100 jin. However, in terms of dosage, the most used is potassium chlorate, which accounts for 40% of the raw materials. The experiment can reduce its dosage after the experiment, but potassium chlorate cannot be reduced. Therefore, if you want to build a match factory, the raw material factory must be built, and the two complement each other. Of course, it is not built from the beginning, and then invest in the match production to a certain scale."

Brother Ador nodded while listening. He thought Yang Rui was right, and the more he wanted to get this foreign fire factory down, he found that Yang Rui was the real person here. He still couldn't see through this person. It would be better to slow down. Even if he didn't eat it, the worst result would be able to occupy a certain part. I believe that by then, the foreign fire factory here would not miss his share.

Although he just learned from Yu Huizu's introduction that this MSG factory had some patent technology to invest. He was very confused about the patent investment. This was something that had never been done. At most, it was just that everyone would lend money to the patentees to invest. But now Yang Rui's momentum has been achieved, and Yu Huizu and others seem to be more concerned about MSG itself than their own income. They are more like craftsmen than merchants. Even if they propose this, everyone may not agree. So they thought to let go of this section and said, "Mr. Yang is a good idea. Today, they are mainly to see MSG. Brother Hanzhang said that the shares have not been raised yet. I want to recognize the remaining 10% of the shares?"

Yang Rui and Yu Huizu looked at each other and smiled, and quickly said yes. Yu Huizu shouted: "Brother Ade, who dares not welcome you, barefoot God of Wealth?" Yang Rui admired this person's decision in his heart. He thought that he was optimistic about the future market of MSG, but he didn't know that others invested 2,000 yuan for this foreign fire. The two thousand were calculated as the purchase rate and synthesized the future RMB of the future RMB of the future generations by 200,000. The shares of MSG are all complete. Yang Rui and others are very happy. They talked to Adde Ge at twelve o'clock. Adde Ge stood up and said goodbye, and asked everyone to enjoy their faces and go to Hongyun Tower for dinner at 8 o'clock the next day. Everyone agreed immediately.
