Ladies and gentlemen, the earliest matches used in China were introduced by foreigners as "treasures" to pay tribute to the Qing emperors, so they were called "matches" in the past. Where is the earliest match factory in China? You know it's in Foshan. When it comes to the earliest match factory in China, we can't help but mention Wei Shengxuan, an overseas Chinese businessman. He is from Zhaoqing. When he was young, he went to Japan to do business. Seeing that matches were imported from Japan at that time, the domestic financial resources kept flowing out, and he was very anxious. He was determined to learn the match production technology, and later accumulated funds to return to China. After many investigations, he found that Foshan has very good conditions for the development of industry and commerce. From 65438 to 0879, he founded Qiao Ming Match Factory in Wenchangsha, Foshan, and made China's own matches. Foshan Qiao Ming Match Factory is the first match factory founded by national capital in China with a history of 100 years. It is not easy for Wei Shengxuan to run this match factory. First of all, we bought raw materials for making matchbox chess pieces through villages set up by Guangdong compatriots studying in Kobe, and even bought Japanese best-selling brand matches at high prices and registered them as domestic trademarks, such as "Dragon Dance" and "Lion Dance". Later, there were many registered trademarks, such as domestic products of Carp, Fortune, Qiao Ming and Qiao Ming. When Qiao Ming Match Factory was first established, it was very small and operated entirely by hand. The daily output is only 10 baht (per bamboo 1200 boxes). Wei Shengxuan is considerate of workers. At that time, many workers in the factory were women workers, many of whom were children's mothers. So, he allowed workers to take young children into the factory to start work, and also sent matchboxes to the villagers for processing. Today, many old people in Foshan family still remember that the incense match factory makes matchboxes by picking up materials. It is said that the employees in the factory have really become the "shareholders" in the factory. During the May 4th Movement, due to the boycott of Japanese goods, workers responded to the strike and the factory was forced to stop production. So Japanese businessmen offered to withdraw their shares, and many employees and people nearby tried their best to raise funds to buy shares in Qiao Ming, buy all the shares of Japanese capital and support Qiao Ming Match Factory. /me? ct=5033 16480。 z = 0 & amptn = baiduimagedetail & ampword = % D6 % D0 % B9 % FA % D7 % EE % D4 % E7 % B5 % C4 % BB % F0 % B2 % f 1 & amp； in= 12592。 cl = 2 & ampcm= 1。 sc = 0 & amplm=- 1。 pn = 0 & amprn= 1。 di= 1375362764。 ln= 1
