Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

It's true that Hu Suian is definitely a rigorous scholar with high business sense. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, I called Xu Nian and went to the Fengtai District Government with him. It's better to have a higher level department come forward than anything else. Especially for foreign investment, the investment amount is not small.

As expected, everyone at Flour Mill No. 2 attached great importance to it from top to bottom.

After a series of negotiations, Xu Nian invested in equipment at a cost of about RMB 65, and contributed another US$49 to re-register a new Sino-foreign joint venture under the Si Nian brand to produce Si Nian brand instant noodles. The Hong Kong side invested a total of RMB million, accounting for % of the share.

The existing factories have plenty of manpower.

In mid-March, the instant noodle production line shipped directly from Japan to Tianjin Port arrived. At the end of the month, the production line was installed and put into production in early April.

The "Si Nian" brand instant noodles in emerald green packaging began to sell well in Kyoto, and then began to be put on the entire railway line, and the product was in short supply.

Xu Nian is indeed worthy of being a business major. After the successful cooperation with Kyoto Flour Mill No. 2, she turned to Shanghai and targeted the southern market.

The same investment model was adopted, with the investment in adding production lines, and the newly registered "Miao Duo Duo" trademark was signed as a partner in Shanghai. In just three months, "Miao Duo Duo" instant noodles began to appear on various trains of the East China Bureau of the Ministry of Railways. The main flavor is different from Kyoto, with spicy and fresh seasoning.

Fangshan's novel composite material entered the commissioning production phase at the end of March. After several rounds of testing, Haida entered the normal production phase in mid-April.

Kyoto Institute of Chemical Technology and National Tsing Hua University Polymer Research Laboratory were the first to get samples and expressed great interest in seeking technical and production intervention. Haida Company holds the international patent certificate of Qi Huan and Xu Jun from the University of California, and its technology is far superior to that of domestic companies, so it can only order products.

According to regulations, half or more of Haida Company's products must be exported through Xiangjiang Haida International Trading Company in exchange for foreign exchange.

Haida Company fully complied with the agreement and 70% of its products were exported.

There is no problem. Because this and polymer composite materials are so widely used and needed by all walks of life, the production capacity cannot meet the needs of the international market. H&X Company in Los Angeles and Hong Kong Haida International Trading Company sell them in international trade at the same price.

In just a few months, Fangshan County became a major foreign exchange earner.

The fact that Fang Xiaoru was the major shareholder of Haida Company was soon known to Kyoto Institute of Chemical Technology.

"Associate Professor Fang, can we allow our graduate students to intern at Haida Company and participate in the research and development of new materials?"

"Xiao Fang, can H&X sign a strategic partnership with the college?" This was the request of the Dean of the School of Chemical Engineering. A 65-year-old woman with square feet and a smile like Xiao Fang, I couldn't help but recognize her.

"Dean, I don't have that power. As you know, H&X is the world's leading company in polymer composite materials. And I know they are making breakthroughs in carbon fiber materials. If they succeed, I can let them provide products to the country first. I don't have the power to do anything else."

"Oh, you think this carbon fiber research is reliable?"

"Yes, they are reliable. The main reason is that these researchers are Chinese Americans, and they are actually originally from Kyoto. They are currently working in the Polymer Research Laboratory at the University of California. Moreover, the laboratory is owned by H&X Company and is not restricted by the University of California. If Professor Jason Qi can come to Kyoto, I can invite him to give lectures at our school."

"Xiao Fang, you are an outstanding party member who has been educated by the party for many years. You must pay more attention to this matter and try to invite Professor Qi to the institute for guidance as soon as possible. You also know what carbon fiber means to the country. Whoever has the forefront of science and technology has the right to speak."

"Dean, I'll do my best."

Fang Xiaoru had been brainwashed by Xu Damao for many years, and she still considered the big picture when faced with major issues. Making money is a small matter, and national interests are above all else.

Although Qi Huan and Xu Jun have not made any breakthroughs in carbon fiber research, other synthetic materials are fully capable of meeting the application needs in many domestic fields.

Before long, Haida Company's 70% export volume had turned into less than 40% for foreign exchange, and 60% for emergency use to meet the needs of domestic units in urgent need.

Time flies, and Kyoto has entered autumn in the blink of an eye.

As expected, Xu Nian entered Peking University for postgraduate study, and lived at Fang Xiaoru's residence, which was only a 20-minute walk from Peking University. This was also the beginning of Xu Damao's intention to let Fang Xiaoru teach Xu Nian the antique business.

Rumao Baozhai is a place where Xu Nian must report three times a week. Pu Yulin not only teaches Xu Nian step by step, but also Ruan Fangshui, who often visits Rumao Baozhai, has an idea. He wants to take Xu Nian as his apprentice. If he can't take Xu Damao, it would be nice to take his daughter as his apprentice.

How could Pu Yulin have any objection? His only request was to Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, I know you have a lot of good stuff in stock. If you have the chance, let me and Lao Ruan open our eyes. This way, Xu Nian can also see more and get started faster. I really hope Xu Nian can go to Hong Kong to exchange for more good stuff to return to domestic museums."

"Master, as you wish, I will let you take possession of my treasures. But I have to be frank. I have no plans to donate them. This is different from Master Meng's Buddhist scriptures. I am an idle person now, and I have to consider supporting my family first."

"Don't worry, Damao. Lao Ruan and I just want to take a look at the stuff. We will not be involved in your decision on the donation."

The next day, Xu Damao sent his treasured Rongru kiln celadon brush washers and tea cups to Ru Mao Bao Zhai.

"Oh my god, Damao, you are more of a museum than the Palace Museum. You can even easily produce two authentic Ru kiln pieces."

"Teacher Pu, the most valuable things I have are these two. The others will certainly become lower in quality over time, but there are still a lot of things from the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. Let's enjoy them slowly. Last year, I came across a pair of grape cups in Hong Kong. My daughter knew about this and spent 1,600 Hong Kong dollars on them. Purple grape cups. This is the biggest bargain I've found in Hong Kong. It's definitely a Ming Chenghua Doucai purple grape pattern cup. The other party just thought the purple color was too ugly, so they miscalculated."

"Where's the stuff?"

"I left it in Xiangjiang and didn't bring it back. I'll ask Xiangjiang to take a photo of it when I have time."

"No, Damao, this purple grape cup must be brought back to China. I will ask the Palace Museum to pay for it." Ruan Fangshui accepted the request very firmly.

"Teacher Ruan, I said I wouldn't say that. What price can the Palace Museum offer? This is no different from a donation. I really don't have this idea at the moment. Although all cultural relics will belong to museums in the future, that is also the future."

"Da Mao, you have to show us two old men the real thing. Now that you mentioned it, I can't let it go. I've seen the Chicken Cup, but I've never touched the Purple Cup."

After some communication, Xu Damao agreed to the two old men's request and tried to get Xu Nian to return to Hong Kong to bring back a pair of purple grape-patterned cups he had bought in Kowloon to Kyoto.
