Chapter 1286: Chapter 55: Burning the Warehouse Is Wisdom

株式会社, or in Fusang language, kabushiki kaisha, the cleverness of this business structure lies in spreading risk and avoiding responsibility.

Shareholders only need to invest, receive dividends, and avoid bearing specific legal responsibilities. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Of course, this is just the most basic business structure. To further avoid legal responsibility and earn more profit, those who light the way home have developed many black technologies that normal people cannot understand.

Tianhua Company is precisely such a monster.

On the surface, Tianhua Company is a renowned multinational giant under the Four Seas Commerce Guild, primarily engaged in various industrial projects such as cotton yarn, rubber, sugar, and other commodities.

In reality, the internal structure is complex enough to write a palace intrigue novel of a million words.

Summarized in a way normal people can understand — it’s like a restaurant that has grown strong and begins franchise chains. To reduce costs, they develop ready-made meals for unified distribution. To further lower expenses, they acquire the vegetable market as well. The restaurant across the street under a different brand is also theirs, and they even established a delivery company to get food to your home...

The meaning is roughly similar, but actually it’s far more complicated.

Without a guiding insider, you’d be clueless about the flagship store’s entrance direction for dining.

Fortunately, Wang Yunxiao has acquaintances.

During the time he was diligently studying, Eldest Miss Cheng was not idle either, striving to emerge from the shadow of her fiancée’s sudden death, and getting entangled with ambiguity with a senior offspring of Tianhua Company.

According to her, they have already reached the stage of discussing marriage.

Wang Yunxiao believed she could wholly acquire that dress shop specializing in bridal gowns, producing and selling them herself.

According to Cheng Xuefei’s introduction, Tianhua Company is far from clean inside.

Where there’s commerce, there’s trickery, which is normal.

After all, they are not here in Tianmen doing charity, just making money as they can.

However, some matters inevitably break people’s moral bottom line.

On the table lies a roll of cotton yarn produced from Australia.

Cotton yarn is the textile industry’s shorthand for raw material preprocessing, including but not limited to cotton, linen, wool, and so on, usually measured in "packages" or "pieces."

The roll of cotton yarn Yan Yu’an brought back was completely rotten inside.

For the first time, Wang Yunxiao knew this stuff could rot. The underlying reason is merely being affected by moisture and mold during long-distance shipping, eaten by insects or bitten by rats, or compressed over a long time in high-temperature environments.

For textile factories, this is normal; it wasn’t meant for consumption anyhow. After a series of processes like washing, spinning, dyeing, there’s no visible problem at all. At most, the yarn spun out is rather fragile, wearing it might accidentally tear open a hole.

In this era, this isn’t considered an issue since there are originally no regulatory standards.

Except...

"Military goods."

With a sharp eye, Yan Yu’an soon realized the big problematic aspect upon acquiring the sample.

Normal folks wouldn’t afford finished bedding – they buy cotton and coarse cloth themselves, and hence the quality is apparent at first glance.

Currently, only the military truly needs huge quantities for bedding procurement.

Among them, disinfected cotton and cotton cloth are paramount and don’t belong to ordinary bedding’s category; they’re considered sanitary items.

Once this batch of cotton yarn enters the military, the harm is unspeakable.

Currently, it hasn’t reached that point.

Tianmen City’s light textile industry, previously monopolized by Qianjin Church, was later transferred to the Industrial Committee. Originally, the factory’s management was church officials; now that those personnel retreated, replacements had to be arranged.

So, no wonder Shen Qingxi isn’t fond of those old fellas; although they’ve lost their heads, neither were they genuine good people.

The church’s factories circled around and ended up with their hands, not knowing how many shady deals happened in between.

Shen Qingxi doesn’t work in this line of business, hence uninterested.

But now, with Tianhua Company’s strong entrance, Tianmen City’s textiles industry is bracing for yet another major reshuffle.

Under the mad rush of overseas cotton yarn sales, original textile factories face bankruptcy or are acquired cheaply. Or, like these last few, they stubbornly resist only to end up with a disastrous family ruin.

No matter how the reshuffle goes, demand from buyers remains unchanged.

Which means, predictably, Tianhua Company will inevitably secure the largest share of military procurement. Then these rotten cotton yarns will transform into brand new clothing, bedding, as well as bandages and hemostatic cotton...

Ordinary eyes cannot foresee this far, but none of those present are ordinary individuals.

Regarding reports, each has their own reporting channels.

The core of the problem, however, is that it hasn’t happened yet.

One cannot accuse Zhang the Fourth of murder just because he bought a pig-killing knife. Though everyone knows he’s been betrayed, the blade hasn’t even been sharpened yet.

"This matter is quite disgusting, huh."

Wang Yunxiao scratched his head, a bit clueless on how to start.

"Burn it."

Yan Yu’an suggested.

"Burn?"

"Fire Dragon burns the warehouse."

"Help them Fire Dragon burn the warehouse?"

"No, they themselves Fire Dragon burn the warehouse."

Yan Yu’an’s work experience in this aspect far exceeds Wang Yunxiao, who is still naive about worldly matters, always able to propose eye-opening solutions; it was the same last time solving issues for Liusheng Dojo.
