Chapter 165: The First Knife

Thinking of this, he thought of the requirements for the house type. The income of an employee of his own company is quite high, even if it is an ordinary worker, his income can support him to pay off the mortgage of a medium-sized house with a provident fund loan. It is still the mid-nineties, the house in the capital is not expensive, and the location outside the fourth ring road is still relatively remote, and the average house price is only more than 2,000 yuan, compared with the house price after 15 years, it is almost a free gift. The house price of more than 2,000 yuan, and then a seven-fold discount, is only about 1,500.

According to the income of his employees, the demand for houses should be between ordinary two-bedroom and super-large units, and large houses such as duplexes will also be wanted, and his executives are also among the top in the capital. Although the details will not be determined until after the investigation, he can already predict that there will be many people who will buy a large three-bedroom house.

This time, the money he plans to spend on the employee's housing subsidy is estimated to be 50 million yuan, or more. He assessed the source of expenses, the machinery company can probably come up with 40 million yuan, and several other companies are still in the investment stage, so they can't get the money, and the rest needs him to take the money to invest.

Although this incident was improvised by him, it had an extraordinary effect. Several of his companies are on the rise, especially the machinery company, which is just showing some profitability, and the development of cotton pickers is also in a critical stage, and his employees have been in the company for too short a time, and their sense of identity with the company and his boss is still very weak, and he is very worried about the stability of the core employees. Although the salary he gives is not low, it should not be taken lightly, in case one or several core employees flow to other enterprises, it will cause serious losses.

It is a very effective way to tie these core employees to their own warships through the purchase of houses at a discount. In addition, this incident is also a powerful stimulus for those employees who do not choose to buy a house, or who do not meet the standards and employees to buy a house, which can greatly improve the employees' sense of identity with the company. With some propaganda methods, the effect should be better.

There is another reason for him to do this, which is to digest the funds accumulated by the machinery company during the sales season of more than half a year. These funds are deposited in the company's account, and in the upcoming closing month, a large amount of corporate income tax will be levied, and he is really reluctant. The accounting department of the asset management company had already reminded him twice about the tax of the funds, asking him to use the money as soon as possible. But now there is no need to invest in the project, and dividends will bring the problem of tax collection, now as an employee benefit, for the enterprise, it is also a process of accumulating strength.

In order to avoid a similar tax crisis from breaking out again, he has asked the financial department headed by Lian Jingjing to give a reasonable solution to achieve the purpose of legal tax avoidance.

……

Lin Wenlan was very efficient, and the next day, the newly purchased basement completed the transfer procedures and became Tagawa's private workshop. Tian Chuan asked Luan Jianjun to support his two small workers, and spent an afternoon cleaning up all the clutter in the house, and then carried out a simple renovation of the house. The purpose of the renovation was very simple, to clean up the toilet again, make it cleaner, and replace it with new sanitary ware. Then a small room was separated from the original kitchen, and a computer and a plotter were installed in the room, and a small coffee table was made for resting.

Soundproofing was installed on the walls and top of the house, and shockproof insulation was also installed on the ground under the small calciner and multi-fitter table to prevent noisy neighbors during work. In addition, exhaust ducts are installed above the Maofu stove and above the workbench in the house, which can discharge harmful gases generated during work. Fortunately, it was a semi-basement with a small window to the outside. He installed exhaust fans and air conditioners in the window, and completely sealed the window.

At the same time of decoration, the various equipment contacted by the machinery company was also in place one after another, and it was delivered here according to the requirements of the decoration. When doing the ground decoration, the instrument lathe, drilling machine, grinder, Maofu furnace and other equipment were installed one after another, and a large fitter table was also placed in the middle of the room. Against the wall there is a large tool shelf filled with various tools. Some of the materials he asked for were also delivered, stacked under the fitter's table, where he had prepared them to be placed.

Tagawa saw that the workshop was taking shape day by day, and although he had not yet used it, his heart was already happy. The dream of making what you want is about to come true.

On the day the workshop was completed, Tagawa sent off two workers and plunged headlong into the workshop to start making his first knife. This knife is the small straight knife he has been thinking about for a long time, and he is going to carry it with him in the future.

He chose a high-hardness stainless steel material, first drew the outline of the knife on the material plate, and then slowly cut out the general shape of the knife along the contour with an angle grinder equipped with a cutting blade, and then carefully trimmed the delicate contour shape with a grinder and angle grinder, and the general appearance of a knife appeared.

The next step is to punch the pin hole in the shank. Although the blade material is annealed, the Rockwell hardness still reaches about 44, which is harder than the general quenched No. 45 steel, and it is not easy to punch holes in it. He had already prepared for this, and chose a cemented carbide steel drill bit specially designed to deal with high-hardness materials, adjusted the drilling machine to a low speed in order to maximize the rotation force, and then used iron to pad the table of the drilling machine, and began to punch holes vigorously. The machining heat generated by the powerful cutting burns into dark blue iron filings that fall on the table surface of the drilling machine, and a hole is gradually formed and finally opened. Then came the second hole, which was also well laid.

Next, draw the cutting line with a height gauge, which is used to prevent the blade from being sharpened. Then draw the starting line and blood groove of the blade on both sides of the blade. In this way, the baseline of the rough cutting edge type is completed.

He then began to rough-grind the shape of the blade on the belt grinder. The soft abrasive belt of the belt grinding machine forms a relatively standard plane under the support of the supporting plate, which can sharpen the shape of the blade very accurately, without grinding the shape of the plane into potholes like the grinder.

Coarsely sharpening the blade was a very dirty job, and the flying sand and dust caused Tagawa's clothes to turn an earthy gray, and a thick layer of ash fell on his bare/exposed hands and arms. The main blade, the secondary blade, the blood groove, and the details close to the handle of the groove were sharpened one by one, and after nearly an hour of grinding, the blade of the flat plate gradually changed into the shape of a knife, and the initial results have appeared.

Tagawa took the sharpened blade blank in his hand, looked at it carefully, tried to find every defect, and corrected it in the subsequent grinding, and finally, the rough grinding work was completed.

After completing the coarse grinding, Tagawa put the knife blank in the freshly heated Mofu furnace, set the temperature of the furnace according to the quenching data found in the manual, and began to heat up for the quenching, then returned to the small bathroom, simply rinsed the dust on the body, and went to the rest room to make a pot of tea and rest.

Forty minutes later, the temperature of the furnace has reached the quenching requirements, he used the fire tongs to clamp the knife blank out of the furnace, the red-hot blade was immersed in the quenching oil that had been prepared, "whoosh", the oil surface tumbled, a hot gas rose from the oil, and was immediately pumped away by the exhaust fan, but a bad smell quickly filled the workshop. After a while, when the oil surface calmed down a little, Tagawa threw the entire knife blank into the oil, which was considered to be the completion of the quenching work.

While waiting for the quenched blade to cool down, Tagawa took out a piece of wood that was going to be used to make the handle. This piece of wood was something he had picked up from the antique market, and it was either something very precious or a piece of hard wood. It was part of a small piece of nodules, the scraps for carving "gall" ornaments, which cost him only a few bucks. However, he was very satisfied with the hardness and toughness of the wood.

He trimmed the irregularly shaped timber and cut it into two thin strips of wood, each eight millimetres thick, two centimeters wide, and a little more than 10 centimeters long, just enough for the handle of a knife. When he bought this piece of wood, he thought about the use, and he did not hesitate to trim it at this time.

After trimming the wood, Tagawa fished out the cooled blade from the oil, scrubbed the oil off the blade, removed the thin layer of oxide scale from the blade with sandpaper, and wrapped the roughly sharpened blade with adhesive tape. Although the blade has not yet been opened, it is still dangerous, and it is much safer to operate it after wrapping it with tape paper.

Tagawa glued a piece of wood made of the handle to one side of the handle and fixed it, followed the pin hole on the pin blank to the glued handle material, and then glued the handle on the other side, and made the hole in the gourd. Then take out the thin copper rod used to cast the dowel, saw off two small sections that are slightly thicker than the total thickness of the knife handle, respectively installed on two holes, and knocked flat on the front and back sides with a hand hammer, under the knocking, the copper stick was gradually thickened by the pier, and the two pieces of wood were firmly fixed on the knife handle.

Cut off the excess wood on both sides along the profile of the blank, and the profile of the entire shank appears. After a sample grinding, a smooth, rounded handle is complete. Tagawa held the handle of the knife, held the knife in his hand, felt the feeling of holding, and felt that it was okay. It's just that for the sake of carrying, the handle is made slightly smaller, and it will take more time to get used to this knife.

He opened the tape wrapped around the blade of the knife, carefully rolled out the equal delicate lines on the blade surface with a fine oil stone, and a beautiful little straight knife was basically completed.

The final step is to open the front. Replace the belt grinder with the thinnest belt and drive to the highest speed, Tagawa fixes the knife on an adjustable angler, gently approaches the belt so that the entire blade passes over the belt, turns it over again, and the basic fronting work is completed. Use a flat fine oil stone with a cornerer, sharpen the newly opened blade, and a knife is completed. The freshly sharpened blade had a cold light on it, and he used the blade to gently cut along the edge of a piece of paper, and with a soft "boom", the edge of the paper was neatly cut into a small strip, and it was really sharp.
