1907, editor of Chongqing Guangyi Congbao newspaper. Guangyi Congbao is a comprehensive periodical with the longest publishing time and the greatest influence in modern Sichuan. 1903 was founded by Yang Shukan, Mei Jiyi and Zhu Biqian, sages of Xinhai. At the head of the national disaster, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, unable to resist imperialist aggression, and repeatedly signed treaties that humiliated the country. The national luck was at stake, and Su, who had a strong patriotic thought and spirit, could not help writing an article in Guangyi Congbao, satirizing and attacking the corruption, autocracy, cowardice and incompetence of the Qing court, which caused Japanese aggression and even angered the authorities. In order to avoid the wanted man, he had no choice but to leave his hometown and fled to Hankou alone at night to make a living at his father's good friend Liu Xiangxi's house. From then on, I abandoned the article and went to sea. In the name of the Sichuan gang "Dehourong" run by the Liu family (a local product of a department store), I made small documents, drafted business letters, devoted myself to my duties day and night, and sometimes made insightful suggestions. In the evening, when the other three guys went out to eat and visit brothels, he stayed there alone and studied hard. Because of diligence, self-motivation and mastery of pen and ink, he won the appreciation of Xu Rongting, deputy general manager. Liu Xiangxi, the boss of Dehourong, is a giant businessman from Sichuan. At the end of Guangxu, the headquarters of "Dehourong" moved to Hankou with a capital of one million silver, which was second to none in Hankou. Liu Xiangxi's business in Han is mainly managed by Xu Rongting. Soon Sue appeared in the shopping mall and became Xu Rongting's right-hand man.
After the Revolution of 1911, Xu Rongting was appointed as the general manager of Hubei Official Money Bureau. Xu used his relationship with Li, commander-in-chief of Hubei military government, to lease the four bureaus of Guansha, Cloth, Silk and Hemp to form Chuxing Company. The so-called "four bureaus" refers to the four bureaus of Hubei textile, spinning, silk reeling and hemp making founded by Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang in the late Qing Dynasty. The "Fourth Bureau" was the earliest government-run civil industry in Hubei Province that adopted the capitalist mode of production of large machinery industry, and it was also one of the large machinery textile enterprises in modern China. Xu Rongting was appointed as the general manager of Chuxing Company, and Su was appointed as the assistant manager in charge of finance. During the First World War, because the western powers were too busy to take care of the China market and Chu Xing was well managed, the company made a lot of profits. After the war 19 19 and 1920, the sales profit of Chuxing Company reached eight million and two thousand silver, which was equivalent to more than ten times the original share capital. In addition to the huge profits made by the major shareholder Liu Xiangxi, Xu Rongting received a dividend of 502,000 yuan, and Su He and two other executives and Yao Yutang also received 302,000 yuan each. This laid the foundation for Xu Rongting and others to start a new stove later.
192 1 year, Xu Rongting and Xu Rongting invested 265,438+2 million silver to establish Daxing Textile Co., Ltd. and set up Daxing Cotton Mill in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. The following year, we invested in Yuhua Textile Co., Ltd., built Yuhua Cotton Mill in Wuchang, and established "Yudahua" textile industry system.
1927, "Daxing" and "Yuhua" were changed to chairman responsibility system. At that time, the situation was extremely chaotic and turbulent, coupled with years of famine, people's lives were extremely embarrassed, purchasing power was greatly reduced, and a situation of "expensive flowers and cheap yarn" appeared. Many manufacturers have fallen into serious losses, closed down or resold. Yuhua e factory is also in danger, with a daily output of only a dozen packages, while all expenses of wages and taxes remain unchanged. Xu Rongting, the chairman of the company who is nearly seventy years old, looked at all this in a hurry and was helpless, and decided to give way to Su Zaiyu. With Xu Rongting's heartfelt encouragement, Su no longer refused and provoked the burden of the chairman. Su served as the chairman of the board to 1948 for 20 years.
/kloc-in the winter of 0/930, Su became the chairman of Hubei Cotton Industry Improvement Committee. During this period, he worked hard to expand the scale of cotton seed experimental field, sent chief technicians abroad for further study, and did a lot of work. 1935, the Han River suddenly flooded, and cotton production in the middle and lower reaches of the Han River continued. In view of the difficulties in the process of cotton seed improvement in the past, Su Jieyu advocated taking advantage of the opportunity after the flood to fully promote cotton seed improvement. Through the joint efforts of all walks of life, the improvement of cotton yield in Hanjiang River Basin has made remarkable achievements. 1936, the annual output of fine cotton reached1220,000 cwt, and the output of lint seedlings reached 35.5 cwt, exceeding the output level of Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and other cotton-producing provinces. Before the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Hanjiang River Basin had become the main concentrated producing area of fine cotton in China.
193 1 year, Lihua Coal Mine in daye city (now Huangshi City), Hubei Province was mined.
1934 10, Su, went to Ann to celebrate the birthday of General Yang Hucheng's father, called on the chairman of the Shaanxi provincial government, and proposed to set up a Daxing branch office in An, which was approved by Yang and Shao. Xu Zhiping is responsible for the preparation of Daxing No.2 Factory.
1February, 935, Daxing No.2 Factory started construction. In April, the board of directors of Daxing decided to transfer Shi Fengxiang, the director of Daxing, to Xi 'an to be responsible for the construction of Daxing No.2 Factory, and appointed Wang Wenzhu to replace the director of Daxing Cotton Mill. In May, Yu went to Nanjing to call on the Director of Military Supplies Department of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to sell cotton blankets produced by Daxing Cotton Mill to the Nanjing military. The two sides reached an agreement. In September, Daxing sold 40,000 cotton blankets to the military. In February 65438, the civil work of Daxing No.2 Factory was completed.
1In July, 936, Yuhua and Daxing held a joint meeting of the board of directors, and discussed and agreed to jointly invest, expand and jointly operate Xi 'an Daxing No.2 Factory. Yuhua and Daxing each took a word, changed the original factory name to Dahua, established Dahua Textile Co., Ltd., replaced the remaining chairman, and built Xi 'an Dahua Textile Factory. Since then, Wuchang Yuhua, Shijiazhuang Daxing and Xi 'an Dahua textile enterprises have been independent of each other and United with each other to become Yudahua textile enterprise group, which is known as the "aircraft carrier ship" of the national industry in old China.
1936 ~ 1937 An unprecedented drought occurred in Sichuan in the first half of the year. Sue was very sad to learn that the show in Sichuan was raging. He took the lead in donating 10000 silver dollars for disaster relief and raised more than 10000 silver dollars for disaster relief. He has always been rigorous and simple in life, trying to avoid luxury. Usually scrimp and save, and develop the industry wholeheartedly. We have never been stingy or generous in setting up social welfare and welfare undertakings.
After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the military and political authorities were most concerned about the dismantling of the Wuhan factory. Jianghan Plain is a famous cotton-producing area in China, which is rich in cotton production, which has nurtured the development of printing and dyeing industry in wuhan textile and become a famous textile industry concentration in China. The most important and difficult private factories demolished in Wuhan are several famous large textile mills. Nine times out of ten, cloth is provided for the army, which shows its importance to the war of resistance. Due to military needs, as early as1937 65438+February 25th, Minister of Military and Political Affairs He wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, demanding that all Wuhan yarn and cloth factories be moved to the mainland. He believes that: due to the rush of time, or because the manufacturers followed suit and did not give full consideration, nine tenths of the factories in Shijiazhuang and Anyang in the northern war zone and Shanghai, Wuxi and Changzhou in the eastern war zone failed to move out, and their national strength decreased and resources were lacking, which affected the future of the Anti-Japanese War. The government-run and private factories in Wuhan have only survived, and we can't be surprised any more. "All private yarn mills, cloth mills and hand looms in Wuhan should be moved away together ... so as not to repeat the mistakes of factories in the two war zones in Northeast China." 1August 5, 938 After Chiang Kai-shek issued a wanted order, Wuchang Yuhua Yarn Factory began to dismantle the whole factory. In order to carry out Chiang Kai-shek's wanted order, China Merchants has four great river ships, such as Jianghua, seven ships, such as Xianghai, Hairui and Kuaili, and Sanbei Company has ships, such as Longxing and Changxing, which have been continuously transporting Yuhua equipment from August/KLOC-0 to late August.
