Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

"I like it, but I don't want to bring such political factors into it. I will feel sorry for Brother Hao if I do that," Bai Xiuzhu sighed;

Hearing this, Jin Ruizhi and Wang Keqin laughed.

"Xiuzhu, you still don't understand your husband. He wants you, not anything else. In his eyes, political marriage or no marriage is all empty talk.

Listen to me, go after her boldly, your husband is waiting for you," Jin Ruizhi encouraged.

Bai Xiuzhu's eyes flickered with hesitation, but she finally nodded and said, "Well, I'll try."

At this time, Hu Xueli hurried over and went to Shen Hao's office.

"What happened to Sister Xueli?"

Hu Xueli didn't seem to notice and hurried over.

Seeing Hu Xueli in a hurry, the three girls followed her curiously.

What happened? .

220. Foreigners are engaging in a price war?

Looking at Cao Yuanzheng's telegram for help, Shen Hao was also surprised.

In theory, Cao Yuanzheng held a high position of power and was also an old member of the Beiyang government.

As early as the time of the Boxer Rebellion, he was highly regarded by Yuan Shikai, and later he also clung to the thigh of Zhao Bingjun.

He was successful in officialdom and even rose to the high position of mayor of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital.

Cao Yuanzheng was still loyal to Yuan Shikai, so even if Zhao Bingjun fell, he would not be in such a miserable state.

Shen Hao had no idea that since the fall of Zhao Bingjun, Mayor Cao Yuanzheng's position had been in jeopardy.

Some people have been impeaching him recently and want to put him to death. It is obvious that someone is hinting at this behind the scenes.

The reason for all this is that Cao Yuanzheng said the wrong thing during the last congressional inquiry.

This angered Yuan Shikai, who drove Zhao Bingjun off the throne, but Yuan Shikai was unable to deal with Zhao Bingjun in time.

After Song Jiaoren's death, the whole country was shocked.

The Jiangsu Police Department did not dare to delay and quickly arrested the murderer and the mastermind behind the incident.

In the home of the mastermind, they found a telegram between him and Hong Shuzu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding the assassination of Song Jiaoren.

Hong Shuzu took orders from Zhao Bingjun, who was Yuan Shikai's confidant.

As a result, public opinion turned its attention to Zhao Bingjun and Yuan Datou.

Yuan Datou was the president. Although everyone suspected him, no one dared to question him due to insufficient evidence.

After discussion, Congress decided to question Zhao Bingjun first.

As the chief of the village, Zhao Bingjun was in a high position and had great power, so he naturally did not want to be interrogated, so he asked Cao Yuanzheng to go on his behalf.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yuanzheng said in Congress, 'Before Song Jiaoren was killed, Hong Shuzu once proposed: President Yuan's administration was restricted by the Kuomintang and other revolutionary parties because of political differences. It would be better to kill one or two of his revolutionaries to serve as a warning to others.

President Yuan rejected Hong Shuzu's suggestion at the time, but now Song Jiaoren was killed, it must be because Hong Shuzu did it deliberately to please President Yuan.'

These words were truly earth-shattering.

Moreover, Cao Yuanzheng repeatedly insisted that Zhao Bingjun and Song Jiaoren were colleagues and had always had a close relationship, so there was absolutely no reason for him to kill Song Jiaoren.

Although he was trying to exonerate Yuan Datou, he actually made things worse and offended Yuan Datou.

The remarks made headlines in major newspapers the next day.

After seeing this, Yuan Datou became furious.

He said angrily: Cao Yuanzheng is a despicable person who talks nonsense.

As the Minister of State, Zhao Bingjun actually allowed the newspaper to publish the article without making any statement. It is truly hateful.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Bingjun stepped down and Cao Yuanzheng lost the trust of Yuan Shikai, and is now in crisis.

Today, although Cao Yuanzheng has not been removed from his position as Shuntian Prefecture Governor (mayor), his daily life has been under surveillance.

In desperation, I could only try to get in touch with Shen Hao.

Now the only person Cao Yuanzheng can rely on is Shen Hao.

Shen Hao was just about to send a reply telegram to Cao Yuanzheng.

Hu Xueli walked in and handed Shen Hao a piece of information.

"Sir, the British have lowered the price of soap to 8 coppers."

Shen Hao was stunned: "Is this foreigner preparing to start a price war?"

Soap is a luxury item in this era. Only those working in cities at a level similar to modern white-collar workers can afford it. Giving a woman a bar of soap can make her happy for several days.

One dollar is equal to 140 copper coins, so the price of soap is quite expensive.

Nowadays, domestic soap is dominated by the British, Germans and French.

Shen Hao's soap broke the monopoly of foreigners.

In particular, the British Lever Brothers is one of the world's few industrial giants and is in a leading position in the soap industry.

"Then we'll have a price war. They're offering 8 copper coins, and we'll offer copper coins," Shen Hao said.

“But the profit is too low.

Moreover, we are at a disadvantage when it comes to price.

Their products are not as good as ours. The fragrance and color are not as good as ours. It is reasonable for us to sell them at a higher price.

In terms of raw materials, Lever Brothers has plantations all over the world that can provide it with high-quality and low-cost raw materials.

Lever Brothers also received preferential price support from British companies for caustic soda, an important material for making soap.

In addition, Lever Brothers has the financial resources to engage in a price war, and we will suffer losses."

Shen Hao was immediately happy and said, "You have investigated quite a lot of information. Don't worry, we can't let the foreigners make money even if we don't make money. I will take care of the publicity.

The profits from the toilet paper factory can be used to subsidize the soap factory. I want to see who they can out-consume.”

"Okay then," said Hu Xueli;

Shen Hao's soap factory and paper mill were both managed by Hu Xueli, and their names were taken from Hu Xueli.

Shirley soap and Shirley toilet paper.

It’s no wonder that Hu Xueli is managing the business quite well so far.

When it comes to marketing, Shen Hao is the master.

Soon, all major newspapers reported that Shirley Soap and Xiangmao Soap from the British Lever Brothers Company were involved in a price war.

"Sherry soap broke the monopoly of foreigners and allowed ordinary people to use domestic soap."

'Support domestic products and boycott foreign products'

"The British Xiangmao soap is used up quickly and has no fragrance. Xueli's soap is not only long-lasting, but also has a long-lasting fragrance after use."

'Support domestic products and make them stand up'

It can also be said that under the banner of patriotism, many people began to boycott the British Lever Brothers' Xiangmao soap.

·· ···Request flowers·· ···

Not only that, what surprised Shen Hao was that several major domestic trading companies actually stood up to support Shen Hao's Xueli Soap.

Shanghai tycoon Huang Chujiu, Commercial Press General Manager Xia Ruifang, as well as domestic Shanxi merchants and trading companies in Southeast Asia all offered their support, some even purchasing books at original prices to support Shen Hao.

Shen Hao was greatly helped in terms of raw materials and prices.

Shirley soap and Shirley toilet paper became famous overnight.

With the support of Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia, it is also selling well in Southeast Asia.

But what was unexpected was that Shirley Soap and Lever Brothers' Xiangmao Soap started a price war, which resulted in the German and French soap brands going bankrupt.

But judging from the current situation, Xueli Soap has already occupied most of the market.

Shen Hao made people remember those businessmen who supported Xueli Soap.

These are passionate businessmen, we cannot let them be disheartened.

... ... 0

There is no other reason, the quality is solid, it is a domestic product, and the price is reasonable.

It can be said that Shirley's soap has gained a firm foothold.

Another point is that Yuan Datou has shares in Xueli Soap, so all civil servants are not allowed to use Xiangmao soap produced by Lever Brothers of Britain. Any case found will be dealt with accordingly.

With the support of the largest organization, we are certainly invincible.

After a month of price war, Shirley Soap completely monopolized the national market.

Not only that, Shirley toilet paper is also very popular and is unique in the world.

Overseas orders are pouring in.

Many foreigners who wanted to learn technology were rejected.

Outside the soap factory and paper mill, Shen Hao stationed a brigade of troops to deal with anyone who came.

The soap factory and paper mill are also on track and are currently Shen Hao's two most profitable factories.

Just like before, Shen Hao handed it over to Hu Xueli for management.

Shen Hao doesn't care about making money. He focuses more on the army and completing the tasks of the governor. The first thing is to build military academies and universities, both of which require money.

First, the military academy. Shen Hao directly invested one million US dollars to establish the Southern Military Academy.

Military academies not only train generals, but also train technical personnel for military factories.

When Zhang Zuolin heard about the military academy built by Shen Hao, he sent Zhang Xiaoliu over without saying a word and asked him to attend the academy with Shen Hao.

Originally Shen Hao disagreed, but he could not resist Zhang Shoufang's nagging.

It was agreed.

After all, Zhang Xiaoliu is his own brother, and Zhang Shoufang still wants to see his brother succeed.

When Shen Hao was extremely busy, Uncle Jiu's disciples Qiu Sheng and Wencai came running over to ask for help.

It is said that there is a church there, and a foreign zombie was found inside.

221. Take him out and shoot him

Foreign zombies?

Shen Hao was a little surprised. Foreign zombies should be vampires.

This made Shen Hao a little curious.

Before, Shen Hao had heard a legend that rich people achieved the effect of delaying aging through blood transfusions.

It is said that there is a mysterious factor in the blood or body of young people, also known as adrenochrome.

The vampires in Europe are said to be nobles of the ancient castle. They have long known the secret of blood from lore and believe that frequent blood transfusions can make one younger.

The legend is afraid of sunlight because this secret will die once it is exposed to the light.

Of course, this is just a legend. Shen Hao still has to kill the vampire. The foreign devils’ things cannot pollute the Chinese land.

Then, he asked someone to bring in Uncle Jiu's two disciples.

As soon as Wencai and Qiu Sheng came in, they knelt in front of Shen Hao.

"Captain, please save my master!"

Shen Hao asked, "Oh, what happened to Uncle Jiu?"

"It was '347' who was captured by that bastard Awei."

Shen Hao was stunned and asked in confusion: "Are you talking about A Wei from Renjia Town? How can he have the power?"

"You may not know, Governor, this bastard A Wei, through some unknown connection, ran to the neighboring Yangcheng County to become the police captain, and even arrested my master."

"Oh, really? Then what about the foreign zombies?"
