Chapter 358: A New Way of Building a Workshop
Li Si nodded when he heard this: "Third brother, you have already arranged it last time, I remember it, and I can rest assured that it will be strictly implemented." ”
Zhang San first circled the workshop, and now the workshop covers an area of more than 100 acres, stretching up a large area, in which there is an endless stream of people coming in and out, and the various materials purchased are piled up dozens of acres of land.
Zhang San looked at the orderly production scene and asked with satisfaction, "How is it?" How many sheets of paper can be produced in a day now? ”
Li Si said: "Now we can produce about 20,000 sheets of paper a day on an assembly line, and now we have started 30 assembly lines, and a new assembly line is being built, and it is expected that it will be put into production in another five days, and 30 assembly lines can be added at that time." It can produce more than 1.2 million sheets of paper a day. ”
Zhang San nodded, such a newspaper in the early stage of production capacity is enough, Zhang San's papermaking template is used in the later generations of the kind of two-meter-long and wide paper, Zhang San's Da Song Daily has to consume half a newspaper, and now from the feedback situation, the daily sales of Da Song Daily are about 400,000 copies.
In this way, 200,000 sheets of paper are needed, and the Da Song News can now sell more than 100,000 copies a day, but he only has four boards, and one piece of paper is enough to print four copies, so he only needs about 30,000 sheets of paper.
In addition, the miscellaneous sales of other newspapers are estimated to require 300,000 pieces of paper, which is enough for the current consumption, but this is only temporary, for example, Zhang San feels that the board of the Da Song Daily is too small now, and Zhang San plans to wait for the establishment of branches in various places, and after the news channels are unblocked, the eight pages of the newspaper will be expanded to sixteen pages.
Moreover, Zhou Wenzheng of the Great Song News also plans to increase the page, and as soon as other newspapers see that the two highest-selling newspapers have increased their pages, it is estimated that they will also increase, so that the use of paper will increase exponentially.
With such good sales channels and information acquisition channels, Zhang San naturally will not just run a newspaper, such as publishing some poetry collections, a collection of policy essays, as well as such as this year's Anthology of Articles and Poems for Enke's main examination, or a compilation of Jinshi policy poems over the years.
Such things are all hot sellers of trendy products, and as long as Zhang San publishes a collection of poems for a few celebrities, then other literati who want to publish books will definitely ask for it, and there will be more books to print.
For example, whoever wants to publish a book must first pay a deposit and print 200 copies, and if he earns money, Zhang San and the author will share it proportionally, and if he does not make money, then he will use the margin to make up for the deficit of the newspaper. In this way, Zhang San can make a steady profit without losing money, and the literati will also thank Zhang San.
There is also the printing of old books, such as the Tao Te Ching, the Book of Changes, the Analects, and other books, the Confucian explanatory editions of the past dynasties, which are all hot sellers, and then there are other solitary books for reprinting, which require a lot of paper.
The Great Song Dynasty uses engraving printing, this is so big Song Dynasty what books have the most engravings, some people must think that it is the Analects, but in fact it is indeed the Diamond Sutra, not only the temple itself will store the engraving, and some good men and women will also pay to carve a plate and print a batch of distribution.
But even with the financial resources of the temple, all the Buddhist scriptures can not be carved and printed again, Zhang San does not like Buddhism, but the Buddhist scriptures are indeed a good thing, Zhang San plans to print a large number of Buddhist scriptures and Analects to Liao, Tibet, Dali, Goryeo, Wa and other countries to dump.
There are also textbooks in Zhang San's school, library plans, and all kinds of wrapping paper, etc., plus Zhang San also plans to make toilet paper, so many places where paper is used, how can Zhang San think that there is too much paper.
However, the workshop production of this kind of writing paper on the Yellow River should be enough, but Zhang San's toilet paper production plan does need to choose a few places with sufficient materials and convenient sales to build a factory.
First of all, toilet paper is not very convenient for long-distance transportation, how much can it be loaded into a full boat? Now there is no sealing equipment, and you can still find wax seals for small things like spices, but this toilet paper has no plastic packaging, and it is definitely not suitable for long-distance transportation, and it will be destroyed when it gets wet.
In the past, Zhang San may have regarded toilet paper as a trump card, and the profit of this thing as an important member of daily consumables is still very considerable, but now that Zhang San's business is increasing, he no longer attaches so much importance to this kind of thing that is easy to leak and inconvenient to keep secret.
Just like a paper mill, there are already thousands of workers recruited, no matter how you prevent it, it is only a matter of time before the technology leaks, and the reason why Zhang San is not worried is because he has the digestive channels for these outputs.
The current newspaper can be said to be the largest paper consumer in the Great Song Dynasty, and the production of newspapers is only capable of Zhang San's own printing workshop, and the core technology of the printing workshop is in the hands of Zhang San's trustworthy people. This is Zhang San's core competitiveness.
As for the production of toilet paper, Zhang San does not have so many suitable people to use it now, and this kind of independent side to build a workshop alone, Zhang San thinks that there are only a few Li Si and Qian Jin who can do a good job.
After all, this is different from Weiyuan Dart Bureau, which only needs to be built in accordance with the standards of the General Administration, and then publicized in accordance with the propaganda strategy formulated by Zhang San. Such clubs are like specialty stores.
And setting up a workshop is different, whether it is raw material procurement, recruitment, organization of production, and sales, these need to be done in person, such an all-encompassing character Zhang San really can't take it out of his hands.
Therefore, Zhang San had to adopt a new model of building a factory, that is, to establish a model and then form a team, so that people who are good at it can do what they are good at and make up for the dilemma of the lack of high-end talents.
To put it simply, it is to establish a model factory first, and then each production link in the factory is arranged with a number of positions, these people learn while building the factory, and wait until the factory is not on the right track, although these people have not learned to build a complete factory, but they are responsible for this part can be proficient.
Gather these people together, and form a factory construction team, such a team, some people are good at procurement, some people are responsible for production, and there are special sales, so that only a workshop manager in the middle of the coordination can lead.
After all, Zhang San has only been eight months since the establishment of the first Yixing Hutchison, the foundation is too thin, and many of the people under him have been promoted from the bottom, and there have been no major problems during this period of time, Zhang San has already snickered.
In recent months, there has been a lot of turnover between workshops and shops, with some being replaced because they were not suitable for the position, and others being promoted quickly because they showed their talents. Basically, as long as you can do it, you will be on the line, and if it doesn't work, you will be replaced immediately. This is the only way to ensure the smooth operation of the workshops.
