In June+10/October of the same year, he led eight people to Xi 'an and set up a preparatory office at Shenfu Lane 17 Huigongguan. With the support of Shao Lizi, chairman of the province, and Yang Hucheng, director of Anfu Office, we bought 122 mu of land in northern Angola and started the infrastructure construction. After that, we shipped the spinning frame and roving frame from Shijiazhuang, ordered Swiss spinning frame 10000 spindles, Japanese spinning frame 5000 spindles, and purchased 320 Japanese automatic looms. 1March, 936, Daxing No.2 Textile Factory was officially put into production. After half a year, the profit reached 200,000 yuan. 1940, Shi Jingyi, the second daughter of Shi Fengxiang, met and fell in love with Jiang Weiguo, who was stationed in Lintong at that time and served as the second lieutenant platoon leader of an infantry battalion in Hu Zongnan. 1943, Shi married Jiang.
Shi has close contacts with the upper classes of the Kuomintang. Hu Zongnan, acting commander of the first war zone and director of Xi 'an appeasement office, visited Shi Jia and held a weekend dance at his home. Chiang Kai-shek's second son met Shi's second daughter when he was a liaison staff officer in Hu Zongnan. They kept in touch from time to time and fell in love day by day. 1944, 1944 On February 23, they got married in the seventh branch of the Central Military Academy of Wangqu, and Shi and Chiang Kai-shek became in-laws.
A cotton mill caught fire, and all the cloth mills were burned down, resulting in heavy losses. Stone wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, claiming that the fire loss was 77,365,438+10,000 yuan, and asked the government for funds. In June+10 of the same year, the Military and Political Department of the National Government granted an interest-free loan of 30 million yuan, which accelerated the repair of the factory. After the factory resumed production, Shi used abandoned textile machinery to build a small woolen mill and set up Daqin Wool Textile Company, which was funded by the annual bonus of the upper staff of Dahua Cotton Mill. 1945, daqin wool textile company made a profit of $500,000. 1948 65438+ 10, he wrote to yuhua head office, claiming to set up a factory in Taiwan Province province, and resigned from the company after being rejected. He shipped 30,000 spindles of old textile machines purchased from the United States and1.5,000 spindles stored in the machines of Daqin Wool Textile Factory in Shanghai to Taiwan Province Province, and founded Daqin Textile Factory in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province Province.
/kloc-at the beginning of 0/949, Shi and his family left Shaanxi, went to Sichuan and then to Shanghai. On the eve of Shanghai's liberation, Shi went from Shanghai to Taiwan Province Province, built a residence in Taipei and served as the director of Daqin Textile Company. He also founded Zhengyi Printing and Dyeing Factory, China Chemical Fiber Company, United Nylon Company and Hualong Company. He is the first, second, fifth to seventh director of Taiwan Province Textile Society. Shi Fengxiang, formerly known as Shi Zhixue, 1893 was born in Huashichong, Xiaogan County, Hubei Province on March 3. When my ancestors worked in the agricultural sector, I went to my father Stone and gave up agriculture to do business.
1907, Shi Fengxiang 15 years old, a teenager who is playful and does not study hard. At that time, Shi Zhiquan, the eldest brother who was studying in Japan and studying in the Law Department of Imperial University in Tokyo, went home to visit relatives. His mother asked his eldest brother to take him to Japan for discipline. Eldest brother renamed Confucius "Zhi Xue", which means "Nine times out of ten determined to learn". From then on, his study, growth, ideological formation and career development were mostly influenced by his brother.
While studying in Japan, Shi Fengxiang joined the League with his brother and returned to China to participate in the Wuchang Uprising Revolution in 19 10. After that, Shi Fengxiang returned to Japan to study textile at Kyoto Technical School, while his eldest brother Shi Zhiquan stayed at home and taught at a university. His legal works gradually gained authority in China, and his protege often served in the courts at all levels of the National Government. I used to be the vice president of the Judicial College of the National Government, and I was an influential and potential figure in the legal field at that time. This is of great help to Shi Fengxiang's rapid growth in the textile industry after returning to China.
After graduating from Kyoto Institute of Technology, Shi Fengxiang first worked as an intern in a textile factory in Osaka for two years. Thanks to his diligence and study, his skills have been greatly improved. At the end of the internship, the factory wanted to hire him as an engineer in Qingdao branch with a high salary, but he declined.
19 17 Back to Shi Fengxiang, China. Because of my eldest brother, I took the official document of Hubei Provincial Industry Department directly and went to a cotton mill rented by Wuchang Chuxing Company as an intern. Chuxing Company is one of the early private capital groups in China. The cotton textile factory leased by Chuxing Company was formerly one of the early state-owned cotton textile industrial institutions-Yarn, Cloth, Silk and Hemp Fourth Bureau, which was established during Zhang Zhidong's tenure as Governor of Huguang and imported British equipment.
After entering Chuxing Cotton Mill, Shi Fengxiang's professional knowledge in Japan and practical experience in the textile mill were fully exerted, and his work performance was outstanding, and he was quickly appreciated by Zhang Songqiao, the head of the township. They often discuss the survival and development of the national textile industry together. Xu Rongting, then the general manager of the company, also realized the importance of advanced technology and management, and the company urgently needed to train a group of young backbone technical talents. So, in 19 18, Chuxing Textile School was established, and the principal was Shi Fengxiang, who was a technician in the cotton mill at that time.
1923, Chuxing Company established its first textile factory in Wuchang, which truly belongs to the company. The head office sent Shi Fengxiang as Yuhua technician, equivalent to the current chief engineer, and most of his students became the first technical and management backbone of Yuhua Textile Factory.
In the early days of Yuhua's business, in order to recover the cost as soon as possible and create profits for the company, Shi Fengxiang, who was in charge of production, visited and instructed several classes in various production workshops almost every day. When Shi Fengxiang patrolled the flower cleaning workshop in the early morning, he reached out and grabbed the cotton ball stuck in the machine, and two fingers in his left hand were knocked off. Because the medical level was not high at that time, the hospital amputated his elbow, making him disabled for life.
After Shi Fengxiang was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Yinfu, director of Shijiazhuang Daxing Cotton Mill, resigned, and the company sent Shi Fengxiang to take over as director. Since then, he has worked in Daxing Cotton Mill for ten years, making the yarns and fabrics produced by this factory sell well at home and abroad.
After the "September 18th Incident", the domestic situation was tense, the rural economy in Shanhaiguan was depressed, and the purchasing power of the people declined. Coupled with the dumping of Japanese goods, many small private enterprises closed down one after another, and Daxing cotton mill also had a backlog of products and suffered losses year after year. In this case, Shi Fengxiang went to the head office to discuss the rescue method with Su, then the chairman of the board, and adopted and established Shi Fengxiang's idea of developing westward. At that time, patriots from all walks of life also put forward the slogan of developing the western economy, developing national industry and commerce and resisting Japanese aggression.
1in the spring of 934, Shi Fengxiang sent Xu Zhiping, the chief accountant of Daxing, to Shaanxi to promote products, and at the same time inspected the conditions for establishing a factory in the northwest. After returning to Shijiazhuang, Xu Zhiping wrote a proposal to build a factory in Xi 'an. He thinks Xi 'an is located in the middle-producing cotton area. Although transportation and raw coal were inconvenient, there was no mechanical textile industry in the northwest at that time, and yarns and fabrics were imported from other places, so the market prospect was broad and it was suitable for building factories. Just then, Chairman Su came to Daxing and brought the proposal back to Hankou for a board meeting. Finally, it was decided that Daxing Investment 1 10,000 yuan would order yarn and cloth machines from abroad, and Daxing would relocate some equipment, with Shi Fengxiang as the manager and director, responsible for the preparation of the second Daxing factory in Xi 'an.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/934, Shi Fengxiang arrived in Xi 'an. After many twists and turns, he finally chose a site in Guojia Getai near Xi Railway Station, covering an area of 100 mu, and set about building a factory. During this period, Shao Lizi, then chairman of Shaanxi Province, tried his best to win support from all sides in order to develop the local national industrial plan. At that time, among the land purchased by the factory, there was a landlord named Cai, who occupied about six or seven acres of land and insisted on not selling it. After repeated persuasion failed, he wrote to the Executive Yuan and asked, "Can Cai be ordered to sell land to develop industry?" The Executive Yuan of Nanjing Government refuted the opinion on the grounds that "compulsory land sale violates the principle of government guaranteeing private ownership of land". After many price increases and negotiations, it finally reached an agreement with Cai, but the factory was delayed for half a year, and it was not until the spring of 1935 that ground was broken. After a year and a half of construction and installation, Daxing No.2 Factory was finally put into operation in July of the following year, with a scale of 12000 spindle yarn machines and 320 cloth machines. This is the first machine textile mill in northwest China since modern times. Although the scale is not large, it has a surplus in less than half a year.
At that time, Su Daoan, chairman of the head office, inspected the new factory. He was optimistic about the prospect of the northwest market and decided to operate the new factory independently. At the same time, Shi Fengxiang suggested expanding the production scale to 30,000 spindles and 800 looms. However, Daxing couldn't get the investment, so the board of directors immediately decided that Yuhua would increase its capital by 6,543,800 yuan, and then directors of Daxing and Yuhua would contribute 500,000 yuan to order/kloc-0.3 million spindles and 500 looms from Japan to form a new board of directors, and named the two companies "Dahua" and renamed the second factory of Daxing as Xi 'an Dahua Yarn Factory of Dahua Textile Company.
At the beginning of 1937, the coastal industries were either destroyed or occupied by the Japanese army, while the textile industry in the mainland was unprecedentedly prosperous because there were few textile enterprises and large market space. In this situation, Shi Fengxiang quickly put the equipment imported from Japan into production, with considerable profits. In April, Dahua held the second board meeting to discuss the third expansion. Then he ordered 2000 spindle yarn machines, 4000 spindle thread machines and 500 sets of cloth machines from Japan. However, due to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in the near future, the order was fruitless, and there was still no result until the post-war inventory. During the Anti-Japanese War, in order to resist the Japanese-led muslin, Shi Fengxiang founded the "Yanta brand muslin". He used all his energy to ensure that Yanta muslin has its own characteristics in appearance, color and feel, making it popular with users and selling well in the northwest.
At that time, Dahua had only one textile enterprise and few hand weavers. The price of cotton is usually three to four yuan lower than that of Shen and Han. In order to ensure the quality, the cotton purchased by Dahua has been carefully selected and graded, so the price of the cloth sold is about one yuan higher than that of Shen Hehan. In this way, Dahua's profit is slightly higher than that of similar domestic enterprises because of the regional price difference. According to the records of the factory, during the first three years from commencement to 1938, the annual profits were 200,000 yuan,1330,000 yuan and 4.76 million yuan respectively. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Xi also suffered from the war, and only Dahua Factory was bombed by the Japanese for three times. 1939 10 Japanese plane bombed Xi' an, and Dahua factory burned 30 thousand tons of cotton. The machine was also burnt out, and it was forced to stop work for several months, resulting in heavy losses.
1940 factory was shut down for maintenance because the circuit caught fire again and the whole weaving workshop was burned. Two fires greatly weakened Dahua.
In addition, Shen Xin Company and Yongxing Company, which have bureaucratic capital, have successively set up textile mills in Xi 'an, breaking the situation of Dahua's exclusive operation and forming competition. At the same time, due to the influence of the war, raw materials, fuel and equipment can not be supplied normally, which makes the production and operation of the factory gradually get into trouble.
In view of this situation, Shi Fengxiang is actively looking for a new way out while actively organizing the resumption of production. In order to preserve the equipment and avoid being destroyed by Japanese bombing again, Shi Fengxiang, after investigation, submitted it to the board of directors for approval, and established Dahua Guangyuan Factory in Guangyuan, Sichuan in the Qinling Mountains. The better power equipment and yarn machine of Xi 'an Dahua Factory were moved to Guangyuan, and the factory was built in a cave to prevent Japanese bombing. At that time, due to the inconvenient transportation, Shi Fengxiang bought 40 cars from the United States at one time, and also moved in sports equipment and 6,000 spindles (even the government rarely had such a huge fleet at that time), which was quickly put into operation. Subsequently, 9000 spindles were installed in the workshop outside the cave and put into production.
Since then, Dahua Company has established two factories in Xi 'an and Guangyuan, both of which are in the charge of Shi Fengxiang. During his stay, Shi Fengxiang not only managed Dahua Cotton Mill, but also cooperated with others to establish Daqin Wool Mill with Dahua Wire Machine. Although the factory is small, it is also exclusive and profitable. At the same time, he also founded more than 10 enterprises such as Dahua Alcohol Factory, Shihua Industry and Xinyi Trading Company, which made great contributions to the development of national industry and commerce in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the west.
It was also during this period that he completed the most influential works-three volumes of cotton spinning (other works include The Founding of the People's Republic of China during the Anti-Japanese War and the Cotton Textile Industry, My Humble Opinion on China's Economic Construction, Ten-year Plan of China Textile Industry, Standard Experiment of Textile Factory, etc. ), and founded Dahua Textile College (referring to "Dahua Textile Training Institute"), and concurrently served as the principal.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Qitian, then Minister of Economic Affairs of the National Government, invited Shi Fengxiang to take over the important post of China Textile Construction Company, but Shi Fengxiang refused on the grounds that engineers and technicians were not suitable for being officials. Soon after, he was elected as the general manager of Yuhua, Daxing and Dahua, and he traveled all the year round.
During the period of 1946, Shi Fengxiang passed through Taiwan Province Province on his way back from the United States to buy machinery, and found that the local industry was very backward, and there were almost no decent textile enterprises, so the market space was very large. After returning to the mainland, it is proposed that the board of directors set up Dahua Textile Factory in Taiwan Province Province, transport 10,000 tons of cotton from Shaanxi, buy equipment from the United States, and send a team of factory directors, directors and engineers to set up factories in Taiwan Province Province.
From 65438 to 0947, Yuhua, Daxing and Dahua jointly established Yudahua Textile Capital Group, with Shi Fengxiang as the general manager of the group and concurrently the dean of Jianghan Textile College founded by the group in Wuhan.
1948, the group stopped investing in Taiwan Province. Shi Fengxiang used the undistributed US$ 500,000 after Xi 'an Daqin Wool Mill stopped production and the Shanghai Sheng Da Company/KLOC-0.5 million spindle spinning machine to establish Daqin Cotton Mill in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province, and moved his family to Taiwan Province Province. By 1958, Daqin cotton mill has become a big factory with 40,000 spindles and 800 looms. During this period, Shi Fengxiang founded China Man-made Fiber Company on 1953, which expanded from the textile field to the chemical fiber industry, creating a precedent for viscose fiber, cotton fiber and polyester fiber in made in taiwan. Today, "Dahua", as the founder and "time-honored brand" of modern textile industry in northwest China, has gone through 70 years of ups and downs and has been developing and changing with the changes of the times. However, whenever Dahua is mentioned and the textile industry in the northwest is mentioned, people will never forget the name "Shi Fengxiang".
