The founding history of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd.

In April 1912, he found two partners. One was Shen Jiucheng, a fellow countryman, who worked as an apprentice in Gao Yuxing Candle Shop in Shanghai, and the other was Shen Qiyong, a relative of Chen who was also "working on something new" at that time. Xiang Cigarette Paper Shop" work. Three people spent all their money and raised 450 yuan, rented 5 cabins in Dingxing Lane, Shiqing Road, South of Hengbang Bridge, Sichuan North Road, purchased 10 hand-operated candle wick carts, and started making foreign candle wicks. The novel is named "Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd.", which connotes the cooperation of three friends to save the country through industry. The product trademark is designated as "Jinxing" brand.

One year after the factory was opened, Shen Qiyong changed jobs and split the stock. Soon Chen Wanyun’s fellow villager Chen Lufu bought 2,100 yuan of shares. At that time, the capital increased to 2,400 yuan, and added "Meiji" to the name of the factory. Two words. After the product was released, it became difficult to enter the candle wick market monopolized by Japanese companies. In order to open up the situation, Chen Wanyun and Shen Wancheng took to the streets themselves and set up a stall to light homemade candles near the Japanese candle shop. Pedestrians gathered around to watch and saw that the candle did not drip oil, bend, or burn out halfway. It was indeed no inferior to a foreign candle. This street advertisement made the "Venus" brand candle wicks famous. "Sanyou" candle wicks quickly opened up the market with their low price and high quality. Chen Wanyun also hired cartoonist Ye Qianyu and others to draw and promote the advertising department of Sanyou Industrial Society; Zhang Leping, the author of the famous comic "Sanmao Wanderings", was also working as a draftsman in the advertising department of Sanyou Industrial Society at that time.

Due to its good management and management, Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. developed rapidly. Sanyou’s large number of products and prosperous business were among the few in the industrial world at that time. As the market share of "Triangle" brand towels continues to increase, Sanyoushe's profits have also increased, and the income level of employees is much higher than that of other industrial and commercial enterprises. Chen Wanyun also set up libraries, clubs, medical rooms and other facilities in the factory, always thinking about the welfare of workers. Therefore, the workers of Sanyou Society regard the society as their home and have strong cohesion. Soon, Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. purchased Hangzhou Tongyizhong Cotton Mill and Dingxin Weaving Factory and changed them into Sanyou Co., Ltd. Hangzhou Branch. After the September 18th Incident, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the workers of Sanyoushe General Factory was high. They established the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association and organized the Sanyou Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. More than 400 people participated. Chen Wanyun personally served as the team leader. The team members made military uniforms at their own expense and marched every day. Practice before going to work. The Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army also posted a giant propaganda poster on the high wall at the entrance of the factory, with the title "Determined to Retake the Three Northeastern Provinces". The painting showed a volunteer soldier pointing a spear at the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese Marine Corps was stationed at the Japanese Donghua Towel Factory to the west, and there was an observation deck. Every day, the Sanyoushe Towel Factory could see the actions of the factory, which made them hate it and regarded it as a thorn in the side.

On the afternoon of January 18, 1932, under the guise of holding a "cold practice", Amazaki Qisheng and five other people beat drums and drums in front of the Sanyou Industrial Society Towel Factory on Mayushan Road (today's Shuangyang Road). Bell and threw stones into the factory. His sneaky whereabouts attracted the attention of the volunteers in the factory, and members of the volunteers immediately followed him. Seeing the workers following them, Tianqi Qisheng and others fled toward the concession on Mayushan Road. When they fled near Zhao's house, they were intercepted and interrogated by the workers. At this time, a group of thugs bought and hired in advance by Tanaka Takayoshi and Kawashima Yoshiko disguised themselves as workers and infiltrated into the volunteers, and violently beat Amasaki Kaisho and others with rocks. In the end, one Japanese monk died and two others were injured. When the thugs saw that the Japanese monk was dead, injured or escaping, they dispersed and put the blame on the factory workers. This was the sensational "Japanese Monk Incident".

This incident was entirely deliberately caused by the Japanese invading forces. As Tanaka Takayoshi's self-confession after the war said, he knew that Sanyu Industrial Co., Ltd. was "very communist, anti-Japanese, and a base of anti-Japanese", so he asked Kawashima, a woman who was "close to him", to Yoshiko, went to "cleverly use the name of this company to kill the alms monks of the Nichiren sect." In the end, because one Japanese monk was killed and two were injured, he thought that "it is indeed time to make something famous." Then he ordered the Japanese military police captain Shigeto Chiharu, who had just arrived in Shanghai, to command the attack on Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. Because Tanaka Takayoshi is convinced that "this will inevitably cause conflict between Japan and China."

Shigefu Chiharu really "lived up to the high expectations". At about 2 o'clock in the morning on January 20, he led more than 60 members of the Japanese ronin group "Japan Youth Gay Association" under the cover of the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai. Next, taking advantage of the deep twilight, a sneak attack was made on the main factory of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. They were seen sneaking into the factory building, and sulfur bombs, oil-soaked paper balls and grenades flew into the factory. The factory suddenly burst into flames, setting fire to six factory buildings and hundreds of bales of cotton yarn, and damaging 24 looms. While setting fire to the factory, Chiharu Shigefuji and his accomplices also killed one arrestee from the Ministry of Industry Bureau and wounded two others who came to suppress him.

As the saying goes, "the evil ones complain first." On the afternoon of that day, the Japanese overseas Chinese in Shanghai held a meeting of a thousand people at the instigation of the Japanese military, claiming that China's anti-Japanese "atrocities" had reached the extreme, and Japan should immediately Send troops "with a view to extinguishing the anti-Japanese movement." After the meeting, more than 600 Japanese overseas Chinese held demonstrations with sticks, shouting "Kill all the Chinese" along the way. They also used sticks to punch the window glass of Chinese shops, tore down anti-Japanese slogans, blocked the movement of trams, and beat up patrol officers on duty. For a time, there was chaos in the above-mentioned area. The Japanese embassy and consulates in China adhere to the will of the Japanese government and at the same time exert pressure on the Chinese government. On January 19, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai protested to the Shanghai Municipal Government about the murder of a Japanese monk and demanded that the murderer be found. On the 21st, he once again lodged a so-called "protest" with the Shanghai Municipal Government, baselessly asserting that the murderer of the Japanese monk was a worker of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd., and further made further demands such as a formal apology. At 11:30 pm on January 28, the Japanese army launched a war and occupied Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. the next day. The "Japanese monk incident" and the "Burning Incident of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd." thus became the direct triggers for the outbreak of the "1.28" incident.

Facts have proved that the "January 28th" Incident was by no means caused by a few Japanese spies. It was completely the product of the established policy of aggression against China by the Japanese military and political authorities. The so-called "Japanese Monk Incident" The "Burning Incident of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd." was just the fuse used by the Japanese invaders to launch a long-planned war. Soon after the Anti-Japanese War broke out in Songhu, the Sanyou General Factory was blown up by Japanese artillery fire, destroying all the equipment and causing heavy losses. The losses were extremely heavy. Production was forced to cease in June 1932. In 1934, Shen Jiucheng left "Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd." and started "Shengsheng Ranch" to engage in milk business. In the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Hangzhou fell, and the factory was occupied by the Japanese army. The Japanese asked Chen Wanyun to serve as the chairman of Hangzhou's maintenance committee, but he refused to accept it. He hid in a cave in Yangmeiling in the suburbs and sneaked back to Shanghai. In 1938, the Japanese sent people to Shanghai again and proposed to Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. the cooperation conditions of "existence and prosperity", withdrawing from the military camp and starting a joint venture. He flatly refused. Shanghai's "Shenbao" and "News" ", "Wen Wei Po", "China and America Daily", "Da Mei Evening News", "Da Evening News", "News Night News", etc., rushed to publish his patriotic behavior on December 9th and 10th to commend his awe-inspiring righteousness. .

In order to maintain the livelihood of the employees of "Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd.", Chen Wanyun manufactured and sold national medicines in the concession, and sold cotton fabrics on behalf of other factories. In December 1930, the Pacific War broke out. The Japanese army occupied the concession and implemented economic control. He stayed at home. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. resumed production. Since Triangle towels were a patriotic and anti-Japanese brand with good quality, Triangle towels soon became popular all over the country and became well-known in Southeast Asia!

In August 1950, patriotic industrialist Chen Wanyun ended his rough life in the Jinchunli Staff Dormitory on Xinchang Road, Shanghai, at the age of 66. In 1954, Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. implemented a public-private partnership and was renamed Shanghai Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. Manufacturing Factory. In 1962, it was changed to a professional towel production factory. In 1966, it was renamed Shanghai Towel Factory No. 10. In 1979, it was restored to Shanghai Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. Towel Factory, which has been producing and manufacturing to this day. towel.
