It was close to noon when she arrived in Shanghai, and Mei Xiang got off the bus at the Japanese consulate and left. The three cars drove to No. 3, Lane 181, and Carrotta entered the room, kicked off her shoes, rushed upstairs and lay down on the bed, saying, "Finally home." ”

Hu Wenkai was also tired, and the sofa downstairs was occupied by Lao Yi and Lao Shi, so he had to ask Liu's mother to start dinner early to send away these plague gods. After lunch, Carrotta relieved herself,

He sat opposite the sofa where he lay down, holding a teacup in both hands and looking at the sleeping Hu Wenkai. The American silly girl who was just starting to fall in love realized that she couldn't leave Hu Wenkai for a day, and she didn't need to think about anything with him, she just wanted to quietly enjoy the sweetness of love. It was he who opened a door for her to taste the happiness of the sweet life of love, and she already felt afraid of losing him. In front of him, she didn't feel the slightest advantage of her age than him, and was completely protected and loved by him like a little girl. Putting down the teacup in his hand, leaned over and kissed him.

He rolled over and said, "Don't be a nymphomaniac, Carotta, I'm going to sleep." ”

In the office, Lao Yi and Chen Yongcheng sat opposite Hu Wenkai to report on the return of the Vladivostok fleet. Hu Wenkai looked at the list of materials in his hand, and 80% of the materials would be unloaded and sold on the way. Hu Wenkai explained that the key is the security of funds for the goods discharged from Tianjin Port, and the gun trade is different from ordinary goods. The ship does not enter the port, and after the sea inspection, the payment is paid and then the cargo is unloaded.

Lao Yi said that the trestle bridge in Lusi Port has been preliminarily completed, sleepers are being laid, and the railroad tracks are immediately loaded on the railroad tracks, and the simple warehouse has been completed, and many local workers have been hired to take care of the warehouse, many of whom are Hu Wenkai's tenants. Hu Wenkai arranged to go to Lusi Port on Friday for inspection, and the time could not be delayed, and the entire Vladivostok plan was a wheel that could not be stopped.

Yang Siliang called to inform that the paint drying workshop was ready for test run in the afternoon, and asked Hu Wenkai to be there for guidance, and Hu Wenkai took Chen Yongcheng and Lao Yi to watch the paint drying workshop.

Yang Siliang was directing the workers to hang the furniture on the workbench, and Hu Wenkai took Lao Yi and Chen Yongcheng to visit the workshop, introducing the use of each equipment, such as hot air pipes, air extraction equipment, air compressors, spray guns, etc. Lao Yi asked how much furniture this workshop could paint a day, and Hu Wenkai replied that according to the design, it was about 400 pieces.

Lao Yi and Chen Yongcheng were directly petrified, and Hu Wenkai despised them and said what is the most money-saving thing in the world? It is an advanced industrial process, a large industry, a heavy industry, a shipbuilding, and a gun-building. I have never seen the world, only real estate to save money. Science and technology is the foundation of all saving money, don't underestimate a few workshops on this site, the wealth created in the future is incomparable to the whole Shanghai.

Although Lao Yi and Chen Yongcheng believed Hu Wenkai's words, they didn't believe the last sentence at all, and they couldn't refute it, so they just nodded. Hu Wenkai knew that they didn't believe it and didn't go deeper, the air compressor had already started to compress the air, and the group of them watched the painting work inside outside the window.

The factory began to be filled with mist for a while, Yang Siliang pushed the electric switch on the exhaust pipe, the pipe made a roaring sound, and in a blink of an eye, the paint mist in the factory disappeared cleanly. A dozen or so workers sprayed paint in half an hour, and after turning off the compressor, they took off the spray can and took it out of the paint workshop to clean the remaining paint with gasoline. The following process is drying, according to the temperature set by Hu Wenkai, bake for one hour, and then change the temperature to bake for two hours, and then it can be completed.

Hu Wenkai said to Chen Yongcheng: "How long do you think it will take to complete those orders at this speed?" ”

Lao Yi replied for Chen Yongcheng: "Boss, I estimate that it will be completed in two weeks." ”

"It takes at least half a year to produce according to the traditional process, think about the wood needs to be dried in the shade, and the manual painting is naturally ventilated and dried." Hu Wenkai helped them calculate.

Hu Wenkai continued to analyze: "According to the current production speed, your order volume cannot keep up, it is necessary to increase the order volume and not be afraid that the production will not be possible." It doesn't matter if you add a tenfold. ”

Chen Yongcheng said: "Boss, a construction company in the United States sent a letter to ask us if we could produce flooring, which is very large and has more than 100,000 square meters. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to produce here, so I didn't dare to take it. ”

"Yes, what can't be done, I can conclude that the flooring we produce is of the best quality and lowest price in the world." Hu Wenkai said coaxingly.

Hu Wenkai, who occupies Yang Siliang's office, called a meeting of the factory's engineers, and Hu Wenkai asked Chen Yongcheng to introduce the situation of the Chicago Expo and the requirements for participating in the exhibition. Although these engineers have all returned from studying in the West, they really don't know much about the direction of international science and technology. It's a bit inexplicable to hear, what does this have to do with the factory? They whispered. One of the engineers finally couldn't help but stand up and said, "Mr. Hu, why are we talking about this without a product?" ”

"yes, why are we going to the exhibition? None of the products? The crowd chimed in.

Hu Wenkai looked at them with a smile, thinking that it was no wonder that until later generations, those who engaged in scientific research were out of touch with the market, and it was like this since ancient times.

"Is the 100-ton hydraulic press a product? Is high-carbon steel a product? Is tungsten carbide cutter a product? Hu Wenkai asked them rhetorically.

"This, this, why didn't we think of it, but can people look at these things?" The engineer who stood up was a little ashamed.

"You just don't believe in yourself, in fact, there are few manufacturers in the whole world that are better than you. Let me tell you about it. He took a sip of water from his teacup.

"There are many factories in the world that can produce 100-ton hydraulic presses, but you haven't thought about optimizing the hydraulic press? The hydraulic press pipeline, the arrangement of the motor, can not all be incorporated into an iron box, the operating table is optimized to facilitate the operation of unskilled workers, you think about a hydraulic press to buy home does not need professionals to install and use directly, whose products will you buy? Hu Wenkai said while drawing the shape of the hydraulic press of later generations.

"This machine can be made like this? The control handle is located on the side of the machine, which makes it easy to operate. "The brains of these engineers were reopened, and the door was suddenly opened.

"Let's talk about high-carbon steel, why do you only guard steel and don't think about derivatives? We can make military daggers and civilian knives out of high-carbon steel," Hu Wenkai paused to look at them, and the nerds patted their heads with remorse.

"Now I'm going to focus on machine tools, we don't make machine tools, but we have the core components of machine tools. You all know that the tools and arm of the machine tool are a lot ahead of the American side, but we can't sell the tool and the arm. Why? Because small accessories can't be sold for a big price. We can buy ordinary machine tools from the United States, replace them with our tools and booms, and then optimize the equipment and label it with us, and sell it for a lot of money. ”
