Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Chapter 27 "Catching Mice"
On the way home, Lan Wang has been thinking about how to catch the inner ghost hidden in the Wenjia Workshop.
"Theoretically, if the internal ghosts are not eliminated, the plan to open up new land and build industrial zones cannot be carried out for a day. But how to make the inner ghost take the initiative to show his feet? β
He had an idea.
"If we start the restoration of the steam engine and the infrastructure of the industrial zone as soon as possible, then the inner ghost will inevitably try to spread the news by any means. The other party's last attempt failed, and they will definitely not give up, and they have no reason to let go of this second chance. As long as you use the planned progress of the construction of the industrial zone as a bait, you can not only find out the internal response, but also dig out the real master behind the internal response! β
A whole new plan gradually took shape in the little mind of the traverser.
The next day, when Lan Wang returned to the Wenjia Workshop and planned to discuss counter-espionage work with Director Li, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance in the steamer room.
This is a thin, pale young man with very delicate facial features and a faint bookish atmosphere. At this time, he was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, his arms and legs heavily bandaged, and at the same time, with a cold tone and a strong attitude that was very incompatible with his original temperament, he directed the craftsmen and apprentices to repair the steam engine damaged in the explosion.
"It's too slow! It's just a few cylinders, why haven't they been replaced yet?! β
"Remove all the broken parts for me! Even if it's worn, it's going to be dismantled! Wenjia Workshop is not short of wood and man-hours! β
"You, you, how are you on the wedge?! What you usually learn is fed to the dog?! Just fix it like this, and wait for a trial run when the machine doesn't fall apart?! β
"The Harbin beer over there, the direction of tightening the rivets is reversed! Damn, it's hopeless, I've taught it so many times, and I'm going to drop the chain when I'm done! β
"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate or what, have you checked the airtightness and watertightness, and come to give me an errand? Honestly go back to work! That's right, rework! Redo it for me!! β
......
Lan Wang took the small steps unique to a ten-year-old boy, and slowly paced to Director Li, who was standing on the side with half a straw in his mouth and watching the excitement.
"Hey, this temper is not small, which Buddha is it?" Young Master Lan asked.
"You don't even know this? Director Wen Tongwen, our Boss Wen's own grandson is also your patient! You're too distracted as a doctor, aren't you? β
"Hey, I was only concerned about saving people, how could I have time to look at my face! What's more, this kid's face was also burned at the time, and he was bandaged, so where can he tell the difference for a while! Lan Wang defended himself.
"Gotta get it, you're the doctor, you have the final say! Okay, let's get down to business: don't you have some ideas for a new industrial zone? Talk to him. He is a professional in this area, and he has to nod his head to start construction of the industrial zone. Director Li nodded at the wheelchair young man not far away.
"yes, I was about to talk to him." Lan Wang said, "Wait for the results, the three of us will meet and have a small meeting." β
As he spoke, Young Master Lan walked unhurriedly towards the thin young man who was dancing.
"Who are you? What the hell to do, don't get in the way here! Hearing someone approaching from behind, Wen Tongtong scolded without looking back.
"You know, it is indeed very impolite of you to talk to someone like that, given that the guy you are tal-king to just saved your asses less than a week ago!" (You know, it's rude to talk to people like you, Not to mention, the person you're talking to saved your life less than a week ago! οΌ
Lan Wang had been a mercenary for so many years in his previous life, running all over the world to take on tasks, if he couldn't even speak a few words of English, then his qualifications would be eaten by dogs!
Wen Tongxin was stunned for a moment. He slowly turned his head, unable to hide the look of astonishment on his face.
"You...... You're the same little doctor who saved me a few days ago? β
βSpeak English pleaseοΌβ (Please speak English!) οΌ
After that, the conversation between the two became all in English.
"There's still time to do it after introducing yourself." Lan Wang went straight to the point, "I want to talk to you about the establishment of a new industrial zone. β
"Looks like you know everything." Director Wen's English is a little lame, but he is quite fluent, "I have long made a plan to develop industry from scratch, but I don't have enough money and manpower. β
"That's not a problem. I have already raised two sums of money here, one with more than 50,000 gold and one with more than 200,000 gold, and the latter has been placed with Boss Wen. In addition, if nothing else, I will be able to inject an additional 100,000 gold into the industrial park project in the pipeline in the next five days. Lan Wang is also straightforward, he personally likes to deal with cheerful people the most.
"I'm not assuming you're not bragging, but where do you go to find workers? What to do with the land? β
"Your grandfather made a decision yesterday, all the skilled workers of Wenjia Workshop will be transferred after the completion of the industrial zone, and the land under our feet will only be used for ancillary purposes in the future, piling up goods and storing things. As for the land for the new plant...... Director Li told me about the piece of land you chose, and I will leave you here: within a week, that piece of land will be surnamed Wen! β
β...... Well, looks like you've done your homework. β
"Of course. What are your thoughts on the initial construction of the industrial zone? β
"Ah, it's not that complicated." Director Wen also entered the professional analysis mode, "If you want to raise birds, you must first have a bird cage." I plan to provide most of the building materials entirely ourselves, so on that new land we intend to first build two wheel kilns to make red bricks, supplemented by simple brick machines powered by steam engines to make bricks; At the same time, at least one cement kiln, one wood drying kiln, one large coke oven and an open storage yard were started, after all, the amount of coke needed for building materials and steel production had to be stockpiled in large enough quantities in advance to ensure that our iron plant could be put into operation in the shortest possible time and maintain a stable output thereafter. Oh yes, we also have to build a temporary small wharf with a throughput of 100 tons and a road connecting the wharf and the factory by the river, and the road surface must also be hardened so that the construction wood, yellow mud, stone, river sand and other things that we bring in from the waterway can reach the construction site smoothly. β
"After the initial construction is completed, the construction of the closed warehouse, the factory building and the workshop can begin. The perimeter and security cordon around the factory also had to keep up. This is also the stage where we can start transporting and commissioning the equipment. According to common sense, the machine must wait until the factory is basically completed before entering the factory, but in order to catch up with the construction period, we naturally can't take care of so much. These ten steam engines were divided into one for brick making, and the remaining nine and a batch of small machine tools that we had completed the trial assembly could be transported in succession at this time, and the various factories and workshops were started in stages of modularization. β
"Of course, the most important thing is the blast furnace - this thing is the most labor-intensive, only if the blast furnace is built quickly and the furnace is started as soon as possible, my idea of modular start-up and phased and batch production can be realized. I wonder if there is any way on your side to compress the construction period of the two blast furnaces to less than one year or even half a year? β
"Not yet, but I'll figure it out."
"Then you'd better hurry up and figure it out. In terms of water transportation, my cheap grandfather had already secretly negotiated with the Huang family on behalf of the workshop earlier, and they were able to provide ships of sufficient tonnage to help us transport goods. Originally, the Jianglong Gang on the edge of the river controlled the transportation of water and commercial shipping, and did not allow other forces to share their cakes, so the Huang family did not dare to offend them too much, and the matter of cooperating with our workshop was naturally shelved. But yesterday, the Jianglong Gang was slaughtered, and all the high-level leaders were stewed and directly wiped out, and the last obstacle to our cooperation with the Huang family did not exist. This time, it happened that the Huang family helped us transport the building materials for the construction of the industrial zone, and the shopkeeper of their shipping company could also give us a discount on the freight. β
"Ah, that couldn't be better. On my side, the problem of blast furnace construction was solved as soon as possible. Lan Wang really didn't expect that there would be such a side benefit to ending the Jiang Long Gang.
"By the way, what do you think about the explosion of the steam engine?"
"What else can you see? Someone is sabotaging. Director Wen shrugged and frowned. Even if all these people under my command are rice buckets, they won't blow up all ten cylinders! If this is really an accident, then according to the logic of the previous life, I have to hurry up and buy two-color balls! β
At this time, Wen Tongxin suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, do you suspect that this saboteur is in the steamer room now, so he has to talk to me in English?" Well, that's a good idea, and your accent is very punctual, much better than mine. β
"Thanks for the compliment. I've got important information about this inner ghost - the code he and his accomplices used to connect. β
"That's a good feeling. At least we have a target to be detected, don't we? My original idea was to cast a long line to catch big fish, hang the bait and wait for the fish to catch the bait, so I reopened the engine room and repaired the damaged steam engine with such fanfare. I was thinking that since this inner ghost could destroy it once, it would definitely find a way to destroy it a second time. Seeing that we are trying to find a way to resume production, it is no wonder that he is not itchy! β
Young Master Lan grinned: "Haha, the hero sees the same thing!" β
