Chapter 475: Calculation
As for the sea ship that Steward Li made the idea, although Er Ya had no way to go to Dajiang Wharf to see it in person. However, according to Xiaohu's description, she also felt that if the ship went to the ocean, it would be no problem at all, and it would be a pity if it was sold like this. Then she thought about simply finding a few more partners to organize an ocean-going caravan and do marine business. can't be the same as the third uncle, because of the fear of danger, they put an end to this road, the most important thing is to let Chen Xin and them often take their children to study overseas, and always keep in touch with that side.
In addition, this kind of business partnership is not so complicated as other businesses, and it is easy to cause all kinds of disputes because of the share division or something. This business is very simple, everyone prepares their own goods, each finds their own next home, sells their own price, and no one interferes. As long as the total stock of all people does not exceed the carrying capacity of five ships. The cost of the round-trip trip is shared equally according to the carrying capacity of the goods, and it is not calculated according to who earns more and earns less. If anyone thinks that they have earned a good income on this trip and is willing to give some tips to the crew, the Wang family will of course accept it happily.
Steward Li and Erya happened to think of this together, and as soon as he mentioned this topic to Xiaohu, Xiaohu immediately said that he would talk about it. Let him wait for the guests to leave and then talk in detail.
The guests outside were still coming to the door in an endless stream, but Xiaohu's house was already full of people, and the later ones had to be arranged to sit down at the dining table on the drying field, drink tea and eat pastries. Chen Xin ran over in a panic after they had dispersed their studies in the morning, and brought a monster with them.
When they came back from overseas, they were appointed by Erya as the gentleman of the school and the backbone of the R&D team. So they are busier than the average gentleman. Busy with teaching, busy with researching and inventing new things, busy with correcting data again and again for steam engines, and failing experiments again and again.
This steam engine is not as easy to make as Erya imagined, no matter how the inner ring closure is done, the final outcome is air leakage. It is simply not up to the air pressure that can withstand a certain amount of gravity. All the reasons have been found, but the technical reasons cannot be found, and the second can only be attributed to the lack of purity of the ironmaking of the Damin Dynasty, which will deform when the temperature and pressure beyond what they can bear, resulting in gaps and air leakage. They were busy again studying the improvement of iron smelting technology! However, when they were busy with the steam engine, they also made a lot of small inventions, and also founded interest classes for students in physics, chemistry, biology and so on.
The second girl is pregnant and lazy, so she doesn't go to the town much. They didn't have time to come over, and they hadn't seen those little inventions yet. Today there is only one thing, the one that they consider to be the greatest of all the gadgets - the bicycle (bicycle).
These lads don't have a taboo either. The eldest aunt couldn't stop them, so they pushed the bicycle into the inner room of Erya in a daze. There was a room of people sitting and standing inside, and all ten of them were crammed in, plus an oversized two-wheeled bicycle. You can imagine how crowded the room is.
But the people inside were reluctant to go out. Everybody wants to hear what these two wheels are. As soon as Erya saw this, she knew that it was a bicycle, and exclaimed: "Oh my God! You've got your bikes out! Push it over here and I'll take a look. ”
Seeing this kind of traditional chain bicycle that is different from the traditional chain bicycle he usually uses, Er Ya admires the children's high IQ even more. So he asked them guessingly: "You have improved the drive shaft of the carriage and used it on the bicycle, right?" ”
Zhao Mingyang, Liu Jian, and Fan Yunzhong, the leaders who led this invention, looked at Erya in surprise, and Zhao Mingyang directly asked his own question: "How can the lady of the proprietor know what it is at a glance, and how to do it?" ”
Erya replied funny: "What's so hard to guess about this? I've been thinking about this bike for a long time, but I've always wanted to use the chain to drive the rear wheel rolling. It's just that the kind of chain I want is really not easy to produce, and I haven't made it until now. I didn't expect you to think of using a propeller shaft to drive the rear wheels to roll. It's so much easier than I thought! Try more. There are a lot of things that need to be improved on this bike, and when you do what I want, you will go into mass production right away. ”
A few young men asked with sparkling eyes, "Really?" The volume of the same voice was too loud, and it woke up the sleeping baby at once.
"Wow! - "Cry!
Everyone else in the room was busy looking at the novel bicycle, and no one paid attention to the baby's crying, only Erya, as a mother, had to quickly pick it up and coax it. Chen Xin and the others sneaked out without bear guts, and then excitedly talked about the joys and sorrows of mass production at the dinner table in the drying field.
It is something that every developer will be excited about if their own things can be recognized and mass-produced, and they will be profitable. The worry is that the car dealer is too busy to take this job at all!
The new carriages were not ordered very much in previous years, and the car dealers were able to make surplus carriage storage. Since the year before, there have been some carriages on the market that look very similar to their family's carriages, but after only two wheels, their car business has been getting better and better.
It was only after the investigation that we found out why. It turns out that some wealthy families, the older generation of people see that the shape is almost the same as the new carriage of the Wang family, except that one is four-wheeled and the other is two-wheeled, and the price is less than one-tenth of the royal carriage. As soon as he made a move, he allocated several such carriages to his family, and as old people, they didn't care about what face or shame they had. But not with the children of the family, and when they went out in such a carriage, they were even more ridiculed than the old-fashioned carriage. People who know each other will always say to them: If you don't have money, don't buy it, if you have money, buy the real thing, why make such a nondescript fake out and embarrass people?
Some families are really rich and can afford it themselves, so they ordered a carriage produced by the Wang family without telling their elders. Naturally, it is impossible for them to use the carriage only when they arrive at home, and of course the elders of the family will also try what is good about this carriage? Those old people who have never used this new type of carriage will notice a real difference as soon as they get into it. One is that the seat is very comfortable, walking on the potholed road, although the car is shaking, but people will not sit in it with vibration, bumps and uncomfortable. The other is light and fast. The horse pulls the cart in front of it as if it were running empty, and there is no hardship when carrying weights, and this kind of carriage saves half the time of the same distance.
Comparing goods and throwing them away, this is not just a matter of talking to the really rich, it must be done. As a result, now the orders of Wangjia Automobile Company have increased year by year, the workshop has increased by three, and the core technical personnel have also increased to more than 70, which is still far from enough. They are afraid that they will not be able to take care of this bicycle for a while, after all, the carriage is a business that makes a lot of money.
They were wrong, the second girl inside coaxed the little man, her eyes stared at the bicycle in front of the bed and did not move, what she was thinking about was how to turn this bicycle into a money-making commodity as soon as possible.
First of all, this wheel should be improved, although the one in front of me is also cast iron, but like the wheel of the carriage, the middle is solid, too heavy and stupid, which increases the friction and gravity, and makes people very tired to step on. The second is the frame, which is not good, to reduce the two redundant support frames, and the remaining support frames should be made thinner and more delicate. As for the steering handlebar, Er Ya looked at this round grunt like a carriage steering wheel, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. There are so many things to improve, but they are all superficial things, easy to play. As long as this core technical problem is solved, everything else is no longer a problem.
Chen Xin and the others didn't have a chance to go into the inner room to talk to the owner until they had to go back to the school after dinner, so they had to leave the very imperfect works here and go back to the school to continue their teaching courses.
Everyone else said goodbye and left, but Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Chen, the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper Zhao, the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper Zhang, and the daughter-in-law of Li Darttou were left behind by the second girl and had something to talk about.
Leaving them behind is actually not a big deal, it was Erya who heard Xiaohu say that Steward Li came this time for the sake of the sea ship. She thought about simply taking advantage of today's opportunity when everyone was there to call the few families she wanted to bring with her and discuss them together.
Several women listened to Erya's proposal, and they were all excited and couldn't believe that it was true. They never imagined that Erya would be willing to take them to do this ocean business. According to the strength of the Erya family, they can run independently, and there is no need to take them with them at all, which is obviously to help their family. However, even with such a rare opportunity, they did not directly accept the proposal, and they all offered to go back and say that they knew with their father-in-law to see how their father-in-law decided.
"That's fine! You have to do it as soon as possible, and after you decide, I will arrange for someone to find an experienced crew member. Crews at sea are hard to find, so we have to hurry. ”
"We'll tell my dad about this when we get home, and we'll send a letter early tomorrow morning!"
All the guests were basically gone, and Steward Li stayed at Wang's house to discuss some details. The other is the supply! He wanted everything that the Wang family had to offer, but Erya advised him to wait.
The silk from the west has been sent to the textile mills here and has begun to enter production. After the final product came out, she planned to give a part to Steward Li, so that he could make a lot of money and arouse his desire to raise silkworms.
She planned to set up a silk weaving department in the west as soon as possible, but it was impossible to do so without enough silk production. Relying on the current small farmers, the expansion is too slow. Therefore, she wants to bring in the super big household of Steward Li, and it will not be a problem to quickly plant and squeeze trees and breed silkworms in a large area. And he also has a layer of protection, with the emperor's industry in the block, I believe that no matter how much money Tussah silk makes in the future, the local government will not dare to loot silkworm farmers and weaving departments on it at will.
Erya is thinking about his own industry in the west, in addition to the main business of farming, the sideline of silkworm raising, but also the weaving industry, in order to better drive the economic development of Qujiaao.
At the same time, in the western frontier, Xiaolong is in the border city, facing the large area that has been built, and he is also thinking. These merchants not only had to trade in products, but they also had to eat, drink, lodging, bathe, and other necessities of life. Then there should be these supporting facilities to meet the needs of businessmen.
"It seems that this is another investment project with money! Well! Not bad, not bad! Xiaolong thought that this place would become a huge target for gold in the future, so he nodded proudly, shook his shoulders, and shook it step by step. (To be continued.) )
