Chapter 431 - The Old Driver Who Is Ready to Invest in Technology (Second Update)
Chapter 431
Wang Yang's eyes fell on the fuel, that is, the coal piles used as smelting fuel, where the coal blocks were almost piled into a hill, but Wang Yang's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply. "You don't use coke?"
"What the hell is coke?" Over forty years old, Boss Wu, who looked very strong, looked at the champion standing in front of him with a confused expression.
His family has been doing smelting for a living, and it has been three generations in his generation, but the smelting used to use wood charcoal, because the calorific value of wood charcoal is too low, and then began to switch to coal, so far I am afraid that it has been almost decades, but I have never heard of any coke.
Zhao Ji, who was standing beside Wang Yang, touched his smooth chin and muttered to himself. "I've heard of wood charcoal, bamboo charcoal, and coal coal, but this is the first time I've heard of coke."
"You don't know?" Wang Yang looked at the people around him in a bit of a daze, and when he saw that everyone was shaking their heads, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, could he have remembered it wrong? Obviously, I remember very well that the history of coke began in the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there have been records of the use of coke to smelt steel, why not now? Isn't it true that no one has invented this thing yet?
"Looks like you don't know. Coke, a better fuel made from bituminous coal, can be smelted at a higher temperature and obtain a finished steel product with fewer impurities. ”
"Dare to ask the champion, I don't know where this coke is?" Although Boss Wu didn't dare to believe it all, he was also a native of Bianliang, and he was already familiar with the awesome deeds of this current champion of science and literature.
In addition, the old blacksmith Chen, who often comes to his workshop to purchase iron, is also Wang Yang, the person in charge of the Zhuangyuan Gong Blacksmith Workshop, and naturally boasts that his son-in-law is absolutely awesome and rare in the sky and the earth, and it can almost be said that he is an omnipotent wonder.
What's more, countless dazzling new things such as "Tokyo Hou Bao", Yuanyu printing, Yuanyu cement, and champion barrels are inseparable from this champion.
Therefore, Boss Wu asked such a sentence a little recklessly.
"It seems that there is no such thing yet, but it doesn't matter, this method of coking, Wang has it, it's just ...... It's not time to take it out now. Wang Yang smiled, and his eyes fell on this Boss Wu.
"By the way, Boss Wu, I don't know if you are willing to let people buy shares in this smelter?" Wang Yang picked up the tea that Boss Wu asked his subordinates to offer, and then asked.
"Just like when I took a stake in Brother Chen's blacksmith shop, we will pay dividends according to the size of the shares, how you run it is your business, but sometimes, I will need you to produce some things I need......"
"Champion Gong, do you want to take a stake in Wu's workshop?" Boss Wu couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of rhythm is this, this champion man just walked over, walked around his workshop, and actually thought about investing in his own smelting workshop.
"Of course, it's just Wang's idea, it doesn't matter if Boss Wu is unwilling, after all, there are many smelting workshops here, Wang just heard Lao Chen say that Boss Wu, you are a calm person, and you have always been trustworthy ......"
"Champion Gong, you're not joking with the little old man, are you? This smelting is not a good job, do you really want to take a stake? ”
"What do you mean, Lao Wu, my Lao Chen is a hit of iron, and the champion has not invested in me as well, do you see the difference between me and the past?" Although it is still the boss of the blacksmith shop, the scale of the Chenji blacksmith shop has expanded several times.
The new ideas that Wang Yang provided him with allowed him to earn money that he couldn't earn in the past ten years in less than a year.
Thinking of the encounter of this old blacksmith Chen, and then looking at this champion who is famous in Bianliang, think about it, under his guidance, Yihong Mansion can definitely be regarded as a first-class green building second to none.
And the old blacksmith Chen's small blacksmith shop, which only has a few small helpers, is now close to fifty of the old blacksmiths and helpers alone, and the amount of iron materials purchased by him every time he comes here is rising.
And what Wanhong boutique ready-to-wear store, their own concubines also bought those beautiful underwear from there, and now, all women who love beauty and don't care about the price like to drill into the Wanhong boutique ready-to-wear store, and there, it is said that this champion also has shares.
And many of the underwear styles were designed by the champion when he was teaching in Yihong Mansion.
And what is the Wanhong cement factory, seeing that the Wanhong cement factory, which originally had only eight kilns, is now building new kilns at a speed of catching up with the United States, and the daily output is in short supply, so that these smelting workshops that are also engaged in industrial production are also very eye-catching.
And now, the living God of Wealth is sitting in his workshop and asking himself if he would like to let him take shares. And before he wanted to take a stake, Zhuang Yuangong also mentioned a kind of coke that can improve smelting efficiency and steel quality.
Boss Wu finally recovered from the shock, before, when Lao Chen came to get the pig iron, he often bragged to himself about how lucky he was, so that Wang Yang, the champion of the princess, could be developed, but now, he really didn't expect that this opportunity would also fall on his head.
"If it were someone else, then Wu would definitely refuse, but if it was you, it would be a free way to make money, uh, what does Wu mean to say that of course he is willing......" Wu looked at Wang Yang with a blank look, but he looked like he was afraid that Wang Yang would regret it.
Wu is so happy that he doesn't want it, as long as Wang Yang can come up with 3,000 yuan, then he will give Wang Yang 30% of the shares, and Wang Yang will also be given 20% of the technical shares.
At the beginning, Wang Yang's shareholding agreement with the old blacksmith Chen was 300 yuan of shares, and then 20% of the technical shares, but Boss Wu's smelting workshop was indeed more than ten times larger than that of the old blacksmith Chen's blacksmith shop, and the price he asked for was definitely very low.
"It's rare that your Boss Wu looks up to Wang so much, you are so atmospheric, if Wang is coquettish, then it can't be said, so let's do it, this alchemy should be handed over to Boss Wu in advance as your deposit, and after two days, Wang will send someone to contact you again."
"...... of coke alchemy" Boss Wu never thought that Wang Yang would be so happy in doing things, and after the alchemy was in hand, he couldn't wait to open it and look at it, and after a cursory browsing, Boss Wu realized the preciousness of this thing.
Although the burning of bituminous coal is longer than that of wood charcoal, and the fire power is also stronger than that of wood charcoal, there is one point, that is, there are too many impurities, and it will not be full of holes in the middle like wood charcoal, which is conducive to smelting.
According to the coking technique of Zhuang Yuangong, as long as it can be smelted according to this method, it can obtain a kind of high-quality smelting coke that is full of holes inside and the impurities are reduced to the minimum.
In addition, Wang Yang also specifically mentioned the finished products produced by Wu's smelting workshop, which are those soft steels.
