Chapter 352, The Power of the Machine

Nothing is impossible, come in and take a look. ”

Liu Jin heard the words of the two of them, smiled and waved his hand and said.

Wang Shouren, Wang Gui, and Wang Xian were immediately very curious, and followed Liu Jin into the factory.

Liu Jin's factory is very spacious, two rows of opposing machines extend long, more than 30 zhang long, a brand-new, brand-new machine is constantly running, there are a few workers next to each machine, very skillful, easy busy.

Behind each worker there is a large frame, and there are constantly people who replenish them with raw materials or transport semi-finished products to another factory.

The whole factory looks very clean and tidy, but at the same time very bright and spacious, and more importantly, it gives people a sense of order, as if all the operations of the whole factory are like one, linked to each other, and flowing smoothly.

"These machines?"

Wang Shouren's eyes were locked on the machine at once, because he knew that Liu Jin was using a new spinning machine and a loom.

Liu Jin's new spinning machines are basically made of iron, firmly fixed on the ground, these machines are also very large and wide, and one machine can be compared to several traditional spinning machines and looms.

The machine looks very complex, there are many parts, and all kinds of machinery are connected and interact with each other, giving people an extremely shocking feeling when they work.

I saw that next to the machine, there were people who stepped on the machine, stepping on the machine hard, providing a steady stream of power for the machine and driving the operation of each machine.

There are textile women who continue to stretch and weave a ball of cotton to the machine, along with the operation of the machine, a large number of shuttles continue to rotate, and at the same time, a cotton thread continues to appear, forming a beautiful landscape, rolled up by the machine, and after the cotton thread is big enough, there are weavers who take off the dough and put it in the basket next to it.

Looking at the operation of the machine in front of him, Wang Shouren was stunned, compared with Liu Jin's spinning machine, although the spinning machines and looms in his factory are also new and brand-new, they are old slag.

It's all wooden, and when it works, it squeaks and squeaks to make a tooth-sore sound, and the key is that this speed, compared to the machine in front of you, is as slow as a snail, and there is no comparison at all.

Not only Wang Shouren was dumbfounded, Wang Gui and Wang Xian, two old-timers in the textile industry, were also dumbfounded at this time, they had never seen anyone spinning like this, and they had never seen this kind of spinning machine.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see the strength of this machine, with the rotation of the machine, the cotton thread is spun out in a steady stream, and the speed is amazing.

At this time, both of them couldn't help but come to the side of the machine, looked carefully, stared wide-eyed, and looked at it in disbelief.

"It's amazing that there is such an ingenious spinning machine in the world~"

Wang Gui sighed while watching.

"Incredible~Incredible~"

Wang Xian also nodded and said.

As for Liu Jin, he looked at everything in front of him with a smile on his face, the current machines can only be regarded as the most rudimentary, the production efficiency is very average, and it is still manpower, he is also going to make a water-powered spinning machine and loom in the next step, because there is a river next to it, but I am sorry for this favorable condition.

Of course, the water-powered spinning machine is nothing, and in the end it is necessary to make a steam spinning machine, but Liu Jin does not plan to do it in one step, but chooses to come step by step, this spinning machine and loom, Liu Jin also plans to sell, selling the machine is more profitable than engaging in this spinning and weaving.

And upgrade from generation to generation, generation after generation, you can not only earn money but also exercise your own R & D team, now the Beijing spinning mill is just to set up a model for everyone, so that everyone can see the strength of the new machine, which is equivalent to advertising.

Liu Jin's real purpose is to sell machines, in the final analysis, Liu Jin still has to do technology output, not product output, product output or let these emerging capitalists in the Ming Dynasty do it.

"I finally understand now, Brother Liu, why the output of your textile factory can be more than ten times that of my factory, with such a machine, spinning and weaving cloth becomes too simple."

After reading it, Wang Shouren couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, Brother Wang has won the award, the reason why we humans are different from animals is because we humans have brains, we are good at thinking, and we are good at using everything."

"It's like we don't have sharp claws, but we can build sharp swords, so we can defeat a tiger even if we face it."

"The same is true for spinning machines and looms, relying on the power of our hands alone, they can't weave much cloth in a day, but we can use the power of machines to continuously improve the machines and create more powerful machines to replace us, so as to weave more cloth."

Being able to get the praise of Wang Shouren, a bull, Liu Jin also has a sense of achievement, and then popularized the power of the machine to Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren listened carefully to Liu Jin's words, pondered for a while, and nodded solemnly, it is indeed as Liu Jin said, people can't beat horses, and they don't have the sharp claws of beasts, but people can tame horses and kill beasts with bows and arrows, swords, etc.

This is the role of wisdom, and people are good at using everything.

Faintly, Wang Shouren seemed to realize something, and seemed to see a little light of a new world.

"Liu Gongzi, I wonder if you can sell us some of these machines?"

At this time, Wang Xian and Wang Gui had already come to their senses, came to Liu Jin and Wang Shouren's side, thought about it and spoke.

"Of course you can~"

Liu Jin smiled and agreed, but he didn't expect Lao Wang to be his first customer.

"Brother Liu, how much does this machine cost?"

Seeing that Liu Jin readily agreed, Wang Shouren, Wang Gui and Wang Xian immediately laughed happily, thought about it and asked Wang Shouren.

"This kind of machine originally cost six hundred taels of silver, but if you sell it to Brother Wang, you can give five hundred taels."

Liu Jin thought about it and reported a number, the cost of this kind of machine is actually not high, a few dozen taels of silver is enough, but Liu Jin is not stupid and only sells dozens of miles of silver.

The machine has to be upgraded, it has to feed a large number of skilled workers and masters, and it has to make some profits, etc., and the windfall profits must be wanted, and the price of selling ten times is also a conscience price.

"Five hundred taels of silver?"

When Wang Xian heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, it's too expensive, this machine is too expensive." ”

"But it's too expensive, ordinary spinning machines are very cheap, if you find a carpenter to do it, one tael of silver is enough, and you need five hundred taels of silver for a piece, which is indeed too expensive."

Wang Gui also said.

"Brother Liu, give me twenty sets of this machine first~"

Wang Shouren directly opened his mouth and placed an order for 20 units, he saw the value of this machine, although the price is very expensive, but it is definitely worth the price, a machine like this, the production efficiency is more than ten times that of the traditional ordinary machine.

"Good~"

Liu Jin saw that Wang Shouren had placed an order for 20 units in one bite, and immediately laughed happily, the textile factory had just started to operate, and the order for this machine came.

It seems that it is necessary to set up a separate machine factory, specializing in the research and production of all kinds of machines, and make money by selling machines.

When the spinning mill starts to ship on a large scale, there will definitely be a steady stream of people coming to find him, and those who smell blood will definitely not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.

"Brother Wang, come, take you to see my loom~"

After selling the spinning machine, he naturally wanted to sell the loom as well, and took Wang Shouren and the three of them to another factory, which was a place dedicated to weaving.

It is also a large machine, all kinds of equipment are constantly running, clumps of cotton threads are constantly flying, and pieces of cloth are constantly spinning and forming.

Looking at the machine in front of them, and then looking at the cloth spun at a speed visible to the naked eye, Wang Shouren, Wang Gui, and Wang Xian widened their eyes again, and looked at everything in front of them in a daze.

Not surprisingly, Liu Jin received an order for a batch of looms again, and the orders for spinning machines and looms added up to almost 20,000 taels of silver, although it was not a big number, but it was also a good start.

"Brother Liu, why don't you put the spinning machine and the loom together?"

"And Brother Liu, I just took a closer look and found that in your factory, every employee seems to only do one thing, what is the reason?"

After talking about business, Liu Jin accompanied Wang Shouren to wander around the entire textile factory, Wang Shouren's insight was very amazing, and he soon found that there were some differences in Liu Jin's textile factory.

In Wang Shouren's textile factory, an employee has to do a lot of things, spinning and weaving, but Liu Jin's factory is different, and an employee only does one thing.

Just spinning, it can be divided into more than a dozen processes and steps, and each employee only does one of these dozen processes and steps, and will never do two things at the same time.

Wang Shouren discovered this very keenly, so he was also very puzzled to ask Liu Jin for advice.

"This is called assembly line work, manufacturing a thing, we can split it into many steps and processes, each employee only does one of the processes and steps, so that not only can greatly improve the speed of production, but also improve the quality of production, because it can become more proficient in doing one thing."

Liu Jin couldn't help but give Wang Shouren a thumbs up in his heart, a cowman is a cowman, just by looking at it once, he found out about it, and after thinking about it, he also smiled and chatted with him.
