Looking at the sun rising in the east, Li Yunhao's chest was suddenly filled with endless confidence. He clenched his right fist. He did not feel tired at all after not sleeping for the entire night.
Li Yunhao rubbed his temples. After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, he shouted,"Zhao Hu, come in!"
"What is it, sir?" The dedicated special forces soldier pushed the door open and walked in.
"Go and get Butler Wu! I'll wait for him here! Remember to close the door when you go out!”
"Got it. I'll go now!"
After seeing Zhao Hu leave, Li Yunhao picked up the account book and put it away.
About ten minutes later, hurried footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside the door.
"Young Master, you were looking for me?"
"Steward Wu, have a seat! I called you over so early to ask how the auction is going!”Li Yunhao muttered.
"According to Young Master's instructions, I've already asked my subordinates to work overtime! In addition, Young Master has given us a lot of money, so we have already completed the big shift. The renovation will be completed on the 15th of this month!”
"Well done." Li Yunhao continued.
“
"Well, in that case, let's continue!”
"Young Master, I understand. Do you have anything else to say?”Barkley asked with a smile.
"There's nothing else at the moment. That's all for now! But Steward Wu, how many of those small factories do we have left?”Li Yunhao asked.
"Young Master, are you asking about those light industrial factories?”He had heard the term light industry from his young master over the past few days. He felt that it was not bad, so he did not hesitate to use it!
"Yes, I am!"
"Oh, we still have eight of these factories! Most of them were established in the past and were not very large in scale!”Of course, his place was not very big. It was a grain processing factory, a fur factory, and so on.
"Steward Wu, this is what I think! It just so happens that I also want to sell these factories of the family! Time and tide wait for no man. You're old now! I've seen all your contributions to the Li family over the years, and I'm very grateful in my heart. Now that the Li family's business is mainly industrial, we can enjoy a good life! The land is also contracted to the people who farm for us!”Li Yunhao slowly spoke of the matter that he had been thinking about for many days.
Right now, China's national industry had just begun to sprout, and it was still very fragile! Moreover, the closed and backward domestic property owners were not very enthusiastic about investing in industries. History had proven that it was a fool's dream for them to rely on themselves to establish the industrial system of China. In order to reverse this unfavorable situation as much as possible, Li Yunhao's idea was to use the Li family's profitable factories to auction off those who were envious and transfer the factories to them to operate. The Li family's industries began to shrink strategically and were placed in Duolun, which was more conducive to protection. They would gather their strength to create a steel fist and build a fortress to lay the foundation for future development.
"Hehe, Young Master, you're now the only heir of the Li family and the head of the Li family. I'll do whatever you decide!”Steward Wu said with a smile! He had been adopted by the Li family since he was young and had been with the master for decades! Moreover, he had watched over the growth of Li Yunhao's father and grandfather. His loyalty to the Li family was unparalleled.
In addition, he, who had no children, had long regarded Li Yunhao as his grandson. In addition to the amazing talent and ability that Li Yunhao had displayed in the past month, he would do whatever Li Yunhao said!
"Mm, like this! Steward Wu, please list all the light industrial factories in detail, including their scale, annual profit, number of workers, sales of products, and other aspects. Make a booklet! Then invite those rich people, especially those who are interested in our factory! When the time comes, we'll give them one booklet each! Then, he would use the auction to sell the item!”Li Yunhao said excitedly.
A few days passed quickly. Steward Wu had already prepared everything related to the factory auction according to his instructions! The invitations were also sent out! Zhao Gang was the auctioneer!
The Li Family Restaurant was very spacious. It had two floors and could easily fit a few hundred people!
……
April 16th, Li Family Restaurant Auction.
"Dad, do you think there's something wrong with the Li family? They sold so many factories just like that! Why does it sound like a lie to me!”Zhang Chen looked at the old man sitting opposite him and said with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, Father! I heard that the Li family and the Huang family are going against each other. Are they going to collapse? Otherwise, why would they auction off so many factories at once?”As Zhang Fei was the second son of Zhang family, Zhang Fei and his elder brother Zhang Chen were usually in charge of the business affairs of Zhang family. Old man Zhang didn't care about it anymore!
Zhang Dongqiang looked at the big red invitation on the table, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes! Although he didn't know why the Li family wanted to sell these factories, he had been coveting the Li family's fur processing factory for a long time. He was definitely not prepared to give up this opportunity.
It had been three generations since the Zhang family came to Duolun County from Fujian. Now, the Zhang family was a medium-sized landlord who occupied an area of 10,000 mu and owned a wool processing factory with a monthly profit of 3000 silver dollars! However, the profits from the land were limited. Moreover, the traditional profit from the land was not much anymore! If the Zhang family wanted to develop further, they had to find another way! Therefore, setting up a factory became another option! During the period of the Republic of China, the government supported the establishment of industries. Moreover, their factories were close to the origin of raw materials. However, there were also disadvantages to setting up factories. It was not as stable as the income from land, but the advantage of land was also dependent on the heavens. Therefore, the Zhang family had always been hesitant and could not make up their minds! Last year, because the youngest grandson of the Zhang family was studying in Shanghai, Old Master Zhang went to Shanghai and saw many factories everywhere. Every day, there was an endless stream of carriages coming to pull goods, and the white silver coins were stuffed into the pockets of those factory owners! The large amount of profits made Old Master Zhang envious. Now, Old Master Zhang knew that running an industry was much more profitable than farming! Now, he could only take a gamble. If he succeeded, he could sail smoothly in the future. If he failed, he could rely on the land to make a living.
The ability of the people of China to follow the trend had always been commendable. Seeing the factories outside making money, a few bold people who had some connections with the Zhang family begged Steward Wu!
Under such circumstances, Zhang family bought machinery and equipment from foreign companies and processed their wool into various finished sweaters. Since they got these machines, Zhang family's income had increased by more than 10 times, which made many people jealous. Now, they had completely seen the industrial production capacity and business capacity far exceeding the agricultural profit!
Therefore, the Zhang family's investment in their wool factory had been increasing! Of course, there were also many other landowners who had profited from industrial investment like the Zhang family in recent years.
