Golden Age:

Zhang Jian was also the leader of the constitutional movement in the late Qing Dynasty, and he presided over and launched three parliamentary petition movements. When he was minister of industry and commerce in the Republic of China, he pointed out that the past measures were "without the heart to guide the people to start a business" and were wasteful and ineffective. In the future, the Ministry-run enterprises will stop and listen to the people.

during his lifetime, he advocated "saving the country through industry" and "saving the country through education", and organized many factories, enterprises and educational and cultural undertakings. Although his "saving the country through industry" could not save old China from peril, it was beneficial to the social, economic and cultural development at that time. ?

Zhang Jian used "Kuixing" trademark for the early cotton yarn products of Dasheng Cotton Mill, and set up different product lines such as "Hongkui", "Lankui", "Lvkui", "Jinkui" and "Caikui". The main part of the trademark is the image of the champion. In the second year after production, Dasheng Cotton Mill made a net profit of 52, yuan; In the third year, the net profit was 12, yuan; By 198, the accumulated net profit reached more than 1.9 million yuan.

After the operation of Dasheng Cotton Mill improved, it seems that the problem of raising funds for offering shares no longer exists. In 191, Zhang Jian and others decided to recruit another 22, new shares, and successfully collected 27,5 in one year. In 194, Zhang Jian decided to expand and build a Dasheng branch. Gui Songqing, who refused to contribute originally, also "voluntarily invested in 2, shares" at this time.

Zhu Youhong, a candidate from Zhejiang who wrote a letter accusing Zhang Jian, has also invested 12, yuan. Compared with the difficulties in the preparation of Dasheng No.1 Factory, Dasheng No.2 Factory has only 29 months from the preparation to the start of construction, and it has easily collected 82, shares. Dasheng Textile Co., Ltd. was officially registered in the Ministry of Commerce, and obtained the patent right of "No other textile factory is allowed to be set up for 2 years within a hundred miles". Zhang Jian's social prestige is also increasing day by day, and he has become a figure vying for the attention of various factions.

"To run a county, one should have a provincial perspective; To save trouble, we must have a country's vision; To run a country, we must have the vision of the world. " Zhang Jian's ideas decided the scale of his career. At that time, western countries were busy with World War I, which left a huge space for China's textile market.

After p>1913, like textile enterprises in other places, Dasheng No.1 Factory and No.2 Factory made profits year after year and flourished for a while. In 1919 alone, the profits of the two factories reached more than 3.8 million, setting a record. During the eight years from 1914 to 1921, the profits of Dasheng two factories were more than 1 million yuan. From 192 to 1921, the Shanghai newspaper published the stock quotation of Dasheng every day, which was one of the most sought-after stocks in the market at that time. ?

At this time, Dasheng had more than 137, spindles, and Zhang Jian entered his golden age.
