Chapter Seventy-Nine: Zhang Hai's Worries
After returning to Wa, Luan Feng got off at the team headquarters, and Wan Feng rode to the brick factory and told Zhang Hai the news.
Zhang Hai told Wan Feng that he didn't have to go to school in the afternoon, and he even carried his schoolbag back for him.
You see this whole thing, let him take a leave of absence, and he even carried his schoolbag back.
If someone looks at the object and asks him to look at it on his behalf, will he even be able to bring the child back?
Since the people who make the molds will come tomorrow, the shape of the tiles to be made is on the agenda.
The most common tiles that can be seen in the countryside in the 80s are the kind of small square arc tiles that are 200 to 250 long and 15 to 200 mm wide, also called butterfly tiles, which are fired out of clay kilns with mud as raw materials.
Wan Feng has seen all kinds of building tiles in later generations, what long and short, large and small, round, square, triangular, from the smallest piece of decorative tile to two meters of asbestos tile.
So he knows what is beautiful and beautiful.
So at the team headquarters of the Wahou team, he took a pen and designed on straw paper, and he drew a total of four kinds of tiles, all of which were rectangular flat tiles.
In terms of size, they are all 300.400X200.250, and he also designed two of them on the tile surface.
Zhang Hai looked at the tile shape drawn by Wan Feng and fell into a state of confusion: "What kind of tile are you?"
"Pingwa. ”
"I know it's a flat tile, but I've never seen a flat tile like this. ”
"You haven't seen it, this will be the most popular tile on the market, but this is just an ordinary tile, when we have a certain savings, we can also spray paint on the surface of these tiles to make colored tiles, colorful then it will be more beautiful, you say that if this tile is made, assuming you are a person who builds a house, will you buy it?"
"Of course I bought it, how beautiful it would be to build a tiled house with this tile. Zhang Hai's eyes lit up and he was full of praise.
"This is just the style of the tile, as for the tile there are many varieties, such as steel wire tile, asbestos tile and so on. The area of asbestos tiles is very large, one is one to two meters long, which is the best choice for factory tiles, and we can expand the type and scale of production after we have the foundation in the future. ”
Zhang Hai looked at the drawings drawn by Wan Feng and couldn't put it down: "I said nephew, it seemed right to find you at the beginning, but I didn't expect that you had already started planning the future of the brick and tile factory, how did you know so many things? ”
Wan Feng was a typical farmer in his last life, and he was an expert in rural work, and the goods in the countryside that he had not done almost did did not exist. What he just said is just the accumulation of knowledge, and there is no technical content and nothing to do with whether he can be admitted to university.
Wan Feng knew the difficulty of being admitted to the university in the eighties, it was a real single-plank bridge, so let's think about it.
"After having a mold, we must seize the time to experiment with the product, mainly the carrying capacity of the product, which is related to the quality of the product and is also directly related to the fate of the brick factory. ”
In this regard, with Zhang Hai's character, Wan Feng felt that he should rest assured.
"When the mold of cement bricks and tiles is solved, I should go to solve the machinery of pressing bricks, I heard that there is indeed a factory in Dongdan City that produces small blank presses, and I am ready to get up in these two days and strive to buy the machine back within ten days. ”
Xiao Dexiang will bring someone tomorrow morning, no matter how you say that Wan Feng is at home.
Therefore, when it was dark, Zhang Hai took Wan Feng to Zhou Xiaowen's house and asked Wan Feng for leave tomorrow morning.
On the way home, Wan Feng asked a few practical questions.
"How do you solve the coal thing?"
This is very important, coal is a very tight thing in the era of tickets, and the quota of heating medium for urban residents in winter does not exceed 100 catties per person, Wan Feng does not think this is a simple problem.
This is also the reason why when the project was first established, he also erected cement bricks.
As soon as the supply of coal is not available, cement bricks are produced.
"At present, the above is very supportive of the rural sideline business, there are many preferential policies, and there is a great tilt in terms of capital and materials, and the secretary of the commune said that he has already reported the coal matter, and he will definitely give us a satisfactory answer. ”
Judging from the attitude of the commune, the spring breeze of the Third Plenum is almost blowing in the countryside.
"Nephew, imagine that if the brick and tile factory starts in August, will the members see the benefits by the end of the year?"
"Why can't you see it?"
"Nephew, now we don't have outsiders, I'll give you a real bottom, don't look at people in front of me, I give people a confident look, but I don't have any bottom in my heart, I often can't sleep at night, I'm afraid that I won't be able to smash the inside, this is a loan related to thousands of dollars." If it's over, it will be a slump after the depression, and I'm afraid it won't be able to turn over for many years. ”
Zhang Hai's idea is very normal, the earliest people who went to the sea to start a business in the early days of the reform did not go to the sea with the idea of becoming a benevolent person if they did not succeed, because no one knew what was waiting for them in front of them, and no one knew whether it was a stormy sea or a bright willow.
"Uncle Zhang Hai, let's settle an account so that you can sleep in peace, let's not talk about cement bricks and tiles, let's talk about red bricks. It usually takes 25 to 30 days for a kiln brick to go out of the kiln from entering the kiln to firing to leaving the kiln, that is, it can be kilned once a month. Our small kiln can produce more than 60,000 red bricks at a time, and 50,000 bricks can be left after removing defective products. ”
"There may not be any left, after all, we haven't done it before, and the mastery of technology will not be good. Zhang Hai added.
It makes sense, what to do is groping at the beginning, and there will inevitably be some loss in this process.
"Then let's calculate it as 40,000 yuan, okay?"
"Almost. ”
"The price of red bricks on the market is between three and four points, this is differentiated according to the grade, first-class red bricks and second-class red bricks, we will calculate according to the second-class three cents, 40,000 red bricks can produce a gross profit of 1,200 yuan, now let's assume the cost, a red brick successfully fires about nine taels to a pound of media, of course, this value will be reduced with the accumulation of experience of brick burners, the lowest time can be reduced to six or seven taels. ”
In the previous life, Wan Feng had worked in the red brick factory for two years, and he was no stranger to the various processes in the brick factory.
"We are not skilled in technology now, so we calculate the amount of media used according to one pound of media per brick. Now the supply price of coal in the market is ten yuan a ton, but this must not be the price we can enjoy, there will be a part of the premium for enterprise coal, we will calculate according to fifteen yuan a ton, then a pound of media will carry seven percent and five, plus the cost of water and electricity for manual machinery wear, I initially estimate that the cost of a brick can not be less than a penny. ”
"Ah! it's only a penny!" Zhang Hai's tone had an element of surprise in it.
"Yes, there will be a small part of the float up and down, but it will not exceed much, you calculate how much profit we will make when we get a kiln brick. ”
So, Zhang Hai began to settle the accounts: "Five to five, five to two hundred and five..."
What is that? Count yourself into two hundred and five?
