Chapter 48: Adele's Invitation (1)
Sending Chen Yongcheng to Vladivostok, Carrotta temporarily took charge of the sales company. This time, according to Chen Yongcheng's suggestion, three small cargo ships, two of 2,000 tons and one of 3,000 tons, were used to transport the core components first, and one was loaded and one was completed.
The company is developing in an orderly manner, and the training of 20 new employees recruited is personally grasped by Hu Wenkai, and the three-hour training course is conducted by him every morning.
The first step is to teach the world development process and make employees aware of the gap with developed countries and the reasons for the lack of advanced social systems.
The second step is to talk about the direction of the company's development, so that employees have the direction of pursuit and the cognition of the company.
The third step is to explain the company's rules and regulations, explain the starting point of the formulation of these systems, and the necessity of complying with the systems. The new staff enjoyed his lectures, he was funny and lively, and the whole class was very interactive.
The company has found that it is difficult for Shanghai locals to leave Shanghai to work in other places, but fortunately, the only middle-level person in charge of Shanghai is Wang Xihai.
In the afternoon, I went to the factory and a group of engineers to build a 3,000-ton hydraulic press, three people from the Jiangnan machine are very effective in the fine operation of the machinery, and the three-dimensional machining machine tool was successfully developed with the joint efforts of more than a dozen engineers, and the machine tool is very convenient for the forming and processing of objects.
The cavity of the hydraulic press enters the final fine grinding, and the long carbon steel rod grinds the inner wall in the cavity with the grinding head, and the grinding will stop after a while to measure the thickness with calipers. The hammer rattled loudly, and three or four workers thumped the assembly of the giant chandelier, which was designed for the soon-to-be-completed auditorium, according to the drawings.
Although it was late autumn and the temperature in the workshop was strangely high, Yang Siliang stripped off his shirt and operated the small hydraulic press, and the alloy pipes were formed from the hydraulic press. Without flaw detection equipment, only 5 pieces of waste parts per pipe fitting can be produced to prevent trachoma, which is the method used in factories today.
The sand turning workshop has produced hundreds of sets of molds according to the drawings to be used on large hydraulic presses, and the factory here has standardized the size of all objects according to Hu Wenkai's requirements. The screws are stereotyped from No. 1 to No. 10, and the benefits are immediately reflected, and there is no need to look for screws everywhere to report the number of screws directly on the shape, and the screws have Arabic numerals to indicate the number. According to Hu Wenkai, it is called setting standards and letting the whole world implement their standards.
On a group of ships returning from Vladivostok, Apleev brought 12 students from the Far Eastern Orphaned Non-commissioned Officer Academy, all of whom were war orphans, 10 boys and two girls, the oldest being only 16 years old and the youngest being 14 years old. The company broke them up and arranged for them to learn Chinese first in various departments.
Hu Wenkai visited them in their dormitory, where the 12 children were visibly malnourished and confused, and handed out clothes and household items. Hu Wenkai said that after you arrive home, this is your home, what are your needs, and mention to Manager Yang here as long as it is not too much, it will meet you.
A little girl named Eva said to him, "You're our dad from now on?" Hu Wenkai touched her head and said, "It's not Dad, I'm your brother." Learning the language here first is your first task, and you will start working tomorrow. Let Lao Yi manage this group of children.
The weather is getting cooler and colder, and the autumn rain is falling continuously. Hu Wenkai held a Japanese general's knife in his hand, and the cold light of the blade made him understand that this knife must have drunk a lot of blood. Mika, who was about to forget, sent someone to send a sword, as if to remind him in time to pay attention to her presence. His lower abdomen began to move, and he wanted to pick up the phone and call her several times, but finally let go of a little afraid that Meixiang would entangle or give up.
Lao Yi knocked on the door and came in, Lao Yi was refreshed during this time, since the last time he went to Wang Xihai's house to tailor clothes and met Wang Xihai's sister, the two of them talked about love, Wang Xihai's family was very attentive to Lao Yi and often dragged him to dinner. In what Lao Shi said, fate is coming, and it can't be stopped.
Two invitations, one for Hu Wenkai and one for Lao Yi, Adele invited them to a banquet on a weekend night. Hu Wenkai was very embarrassed and didn't know if he could bring Carrotta with him, because the invitation only said Mr. Hu Wenkai. Lao Yi also said that it was not good to bring it, and there was no meaning on this invitation, but only the two of them.
Put the invitation on the table and motioned for Lao Yi to sit down, the three boats have been away from Vladivostok for several days, the Japanese are not as fast as they think, according to Hu Wenkai's analysis, the Japanese are all focused on the front line defense, and the rear Vladivostok should be completely controlled by Apulev according to the description of the crew.
The weather has begun to cool down, and in mid-December, Vladivostok will be frozen until March next year, and the Japanese will notice that this period is too long. No matter what materials are loaded on the ship, China is short of everything at this time, the trading company since the last gun transaction directly got rid of the middleman to catch up with the line, only then did he know how profitable the gun trade was, the international arms embargo was imposed on China, the guns shipped to China generally rose by 15%, and the artillery was even more scarce, and the three boats that returned Hu Wenkai arranged the best guns, ammunition and artillery.
Lao Yi said that the company's land has been completely dismantled, and according to the requirements of the last company meeting, all the funds have been transferred to the pledge company. After a period of time, the pledge company has huge capital requirements, but the profits generated are also scary. The company has put the first batch of resold materials more than 800,000 yuan into the pledge company, and the company will be closed in a few days.
Lao Yi said with a smile that the money was given to Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng sold opium on a large scale, and many people went bankrupt after becoming addicted to it, and finally pledged real estate. Hu Wenkai shook his head, he really couldn't control this, he knew that it was Du Yuesheng who was selling opium, but in fact, behind it was a group of French people from the Public Board of Directors who were doing opium business. The first shipment of furniture was also shipped to the United States for delivery, and the furniture factory is now operating at full capacity. The wood flooring production line also started production this week, and the company is very satisfied with the samples produced. Logs are pulled directly from the Far East by tugboats in piles from the sea, which is particularly cheap, and several thousand can be transported at a time.
Lao Yi came over mainly to say 12 orphan non-commissioned officers, the Far East orphan non-commissioned officer school is particularly cruel, all the orphans call the dean for their father's only order is to obey, the training is very cruel, a hundred orphans will not come out alive will not exceed thirty, these twelve non-commissioned officers have just graduated this year and have not had time to send them to the army directly sent over, Lao Yi asked them one by one whether they knew Marshal Apleev after they came into contact with those people, and these children replied that they got on the ship directly after leaving the school, At school, their father told them that in the future, their father would be a Chinese surnamed Hu and that they would live happily ever after.
Lao Yi is a smart man who took the initiative to inquire about the situation for Hu Wenkai to eliminate scruples, and Hu Wenkai was afraid that these twelve children were Apleev's cronies. At least for now, Marshal Apleev is still above board.
