Okay, don't go in today, what do you want to visit? It's better not to affect the production operations of the factory, and there will be time in the future......

Obviously, Dr. Quan couldn't see the fancy style of these young people, and he began to take care of people like elders.

Yue Chu finally reacted at this time, and the brown girl in front of her said, Oh, that's me Meng Lang, I'm sorry Hahela, let's get acquainted again, I'm new here, that is, let's take a look, let's come to Japan for a long time......

Okay, even if it's on board, Wei Hong smiled secretly in his heart, and then nodded to Miss Hela, then led everyone out of the wooden door and turned back to the mezzanine, walked along the mezzanine for two minutes, and then arrived at another greenhouse door, which was even more heavily guarded, not only a trench, but also a wooden fence on the periphery, and the group naturally couldn't go in, in fact, they didn't want to go in, because the brothers all knew that it was actually quite dangerous inside.

Here is the medicine column processing workshop, there are six honeycomb worm spiral medicine column presses, the whole greenhouse is divided into more than ten semi-enclosed small compartments, the medicine noodles pounded in the previous process are packed in a large wooden box and transported here by a wooden rail car, the medicine noodles are poured into a large wooden barrel mixed with clear rice soup and a nitrifying agent transported at home, stirred and stirred evenly with wooden sticks, carefully filled into the honeycomb holes, and then slowly manually pressurized with a screw until it is formed into a wet medicine column of eight mm diameter, which is a more dangerous operation.

Therefore, each press is separated by a cement brick wall, and there are only two operators of the press, from the beginning of filling powder to pressing and forming, it takes 30 minutes each time, and 33 medicine columns are formed at a time, and if you do not work overtime, you can produce more than 5,000 pills per day, and these medicine columns need to be dried at room temperature for a week, and then enter the third process - ammunition wrapping......

At this time, Dr. Quan asked Wei Hong with great interest:

Well, I heard Xia Xiaoou say, your ammunition factory also has an explosive@ medicine workshop, which specializes in producing large compressed medicine packets to sell for money?

Wei Hong responded: Yes, it actually costs a lot of money to feed this bullet factory, I discussed with Xiao Guizi at the time, our factory can sell something to make money, not to mention how much to earn, at least do not need to take extra silver out of the family, after all, only input without output can not last long.

Zhou Rui asked:

How is the business of this compressed medicine pack?

Hearing Zhou Rui's question, Wei Hong smiled proudly:

Very good, our medicine bag is nitrification @ medicine with ingredients similar to nitrate @ @ sweet @ oil, which is used to blow up stones and open mines or something, it's not too six!

Doctor Quan interjected at this time: Really? I heard that this is the most profitable product of Baisha Group, is that so?

Wei Hong smiled and nodded in response:

Of course! At the beginning, we first took this kind of explosive @ medicine to the Nanshan quarry run by the duchess to try it, and the effect was very good, and there were many shareholders in the quarry, including local bigwigs like Pimont Degus, so the reputation of Australia's compressed black fire @ medicine spread out like this, and now, our main production capacity is actually in these two aspects: one of them is explosive @ medicine, this kind of compressed medicine bag, such a big fist can be sold for two or five dollars of silver!

If the supply of ordinary black fire @ medicine on Pimont's side can keep up, five hundred medicine packs a day will not be a problem, but now the supply of these word medicine powders is a little untimely, so now the daily output is only three hundred.

Doctor Quan nodded and said, because the transportation of black fire @ medicine is unsafe, so I heard that Mr. Zhao is going to send an apprentice from Zhuyuan to build a black fire @ medicine workshop, it seems that he wants to make up for this shortcoming.

Wei Hong nodded and said, yes, I also heard that Xiao Guizi is going to bring his official wife and a group of apprentices back this time, and this is already the main production base of Baisha Group overseas.

At this time, Yue Chu asked: What about other aspects of the arms business?

Wei Hong patted his head and responded: By the way, another money-making project is the five-seven grenade @ bomb, which is also our business with the outside world, and now, the caravans that come to Xin'an City to do business with us are more or less equipped with this kind of weapon, this kind of hand @ grenade @ bullet can effectively prevent pirates from jumping in hand-to-hand combat, it is a melee weapon, and it is sold for three taels of silver.

As for the production of bullets, the current production is intermittent, and the daily production is related to business, however, there may be a war recently, so we have increased the production capacity of the 57 type cloth shell bullet.

"Holy! Three taels of silver, a month's living expenses of a well-off family in this era, and the sound is gone? That's not cheap! ”

"As far as I know, the cost isn't more than two cents, is it? It's like flying up and grabbing money! ”

Zhou Ruiyue and Chu brothers exclaimed.

But Dr. Quan had a different opinion, he shook his head and responded to the brothers, saying that it is not a huge profit, after all, technology is valuable! You can't just look at that, can you? Even if you just look at that little thing, the core chemical composition in it is still shipped by the Nicole herself, let me ask you, how much is the Nicole worth?

Wei Hong listened and immediately said,

"Yes, it must not be said that it is expensive, of course, we also sold it for a conscience price, after all, this kind of thing has an expiration date, and it will volatilize into ordinary black fire @ medicine after eighteen months."

"Does the buyer know?"

"Of course, I know that the buyer must buy it for now, such as compressed medicine kits, which are now used in various mining areas on Timor Island, especially in stone yards, the main reason is to save manpower, and now there is a trend on this island---- things are becoming less and less valuable, but labor is becoming more and more valuable, so saving manpower is saving costs."

"Has it come to the point of saving labor costs? Isn't it said that indigenous labor is cheap? ”

"That's right, didn't you say that it was less than a tael of silver a month?"

Yue Chu and Zhou Rui asked together.

Wei Hong shook his head when he heard this, and said with a slight probing tone:

"Cheap? Alas, so to speak, in fact, the average salary is less than five cents a month, plus a little wine and food.

But this kind of labor force is not efficient at all, and to tell you, this indigenous labor force usually has no concept of time, they come and go when they want, they disappear for a few days after each paycheck, and then they come back to work drunk a few days later, and the asking price is getting higher and higher. So, all in all, indigenous labor is becoming less and less cheap.

By the way, let me tell you one thing: a while ago, I also heard that the natives of the Chagan Basin surrounded the wharf to prevent ore from being on the ship, because the ship did not bring the old captain's liquor to the natives as promised, and then the Diao company wanted to pay salaries on a monthly basis, but the natives stopped doing it, and it is still paid every three to four days, so Diao Company was the first to use explosives@ and was our number one customer, after all, this can reduce the use of indigenous labor......"

At this time, Zhou Ruiyue and Chu brothers discussed again:

"The overall feeling is that the ammunition factory sells something that is really not cheap......"

"Can the buyer afford it in the long term?"

"And I know, which fist-sized medicine bag doesn't cost us more than a penny, right?"

"Hehe, you can ...... it"

"Socio-social ......"

At this time, Wei Hong added:

"After all, this compressed medicine pack is a daily consumable, and the efficiency of mining is really high, but now we only sell to Portuguese and Dutch merchants that we can trust, and we have to sign an additional security agreement at the end of the purchase contract, which is one thing: it shall not be sold or given to a third party in any other form, and once a breach of contract is found, sanctions will be imposed on the merchants, including prohibiting the defaulting merchants from entering Sinanseong, confiscating property, and so on.

A while ago, Sun Gen Lao and Brother Li also sent a special telegram to emphasize that they must not be sold to the natives, including all the indigenous tribes, kingdoms and forces in Nanyang, because even if you sign an additional security agreement with these people, it will be in vain, first of all, because these goods have no concept of contract at all, and in addition, we do not have any targeted constraints on these forces. ”

"It makes sense, it has to be done!"

"It looks like we're going to have to pass a long-arm law in the Senate and then proclaim it to the world."

Doctor Quan nodded in agreement, and Wei Hong said:

"Recently, some Dutch people have asked Brother Xiao to collect this kind of compressed medicine pack, because the amount is large and wants to get discounts, this matter is being discussed, I feel that the Dutch are using this medicine bag for other purposes......"
