Chapter 471 Industry
After another month, Vivian actually came to the London factory to find Wan Qianyang, at first he thought it was the reason why Vivian missed him, but Vivian also brought a news, that is, a group of slaves will be transported from the port of London, which is exactly the business that the Oliver family negotiated with the family that specializes in human slave trafficking, and heard that there is still some ore, because Wan Qianyang successfully smelted the steel a few days ago, and its degree has reached Wan Qianyang's original requirements, In the past few days, he is arranging for workers to rebuild a new blast furnace, with which it is possible to smelt the raw steel that Wan Qiyang needs.
Because of the coke, the glass produced by the glass factory has gone through Wan Qianyang's formula, and has completely produced the cleanest and most transparent glass in the world, and has also produced a large area of glass, which makes Viscount Neil completely admire Wan Qianyang, a man from the mysterious country of the East. I thought that my family really rose in my own hands, thanks to the 'plague' I had at that time!
At this time, the news of Wan Qianyang's steelmaking plant is still strictly guarded by the family and partners, Wan Qiyang must produce a large amount of steel by himself, and have his own weapons to let everyone know that he can make steel, and then a series of modern tools have been introduced, Wan Qiyang has already thought about it, like similar to the machines that can often be used in life, as well as bicycles and other supplies, of course, these can only be sold for the aristocracy, but Wan Qianyang's market is placed in the whole of Europe, And not just in England.
When Wan Qiyang sat in the carriage and returned to Cambridge with Vivian, when he arrived in the town, he heard everyone talking about some things, everything was related to him, of course, everyone was not talking about him as a person, but about the incomparably beautiful glass that had recently appeared on the market, and there were utensils, glasses, glass jars, and bowls that could be used in life. The level of perfection is already as bright as crystal. At the same time, I also heard that the number of displaced people on the street has decreased significantly, and it is the tragic ending of several families that recruit a large number of workers, and I don't know how many families have been saved, Wan Qiyang indirectly said many good things.
"Edison, what they're talking about is your masterpiece, hehe, it's so admirable!" Vivian was also glad that she could find such a capable and attractive man, and she never put down her arm around Wan Qiyang!
"Good things are grinding, everyone's good is really good! By the way, when will they arrive in the port of London? Wan Qiyang went back to Cambridge first to prepare the contract, and then went to Cambridge University to check the progress of the laboratory being built.
The exact time was not said. Butler Hank is waiting in the castle for us to go back! Vivien just enjoyed the lovesickness of not seeing Wan Qiyang for many days.
"Okay!" Wan Qiyang knew, anyway, go back and ask Hank's housekeeper to understand.
After a few people returned to the manor, Wan Qiyang found that there were several carriages parked in front of the castle, it seems that the family power of the business of selling and buying people is not small, this requires mercenaries, so these people generally have experienced the experience of life and death, and the nobles who are used to life and death do not treat slaves as human beings, anyway, in their eyes, there are only interests!
Wan Qianyang naturally communicated with several nobles who came to negotiate business politely, and in the end, Wan Qianyang's performance still shocked the people who came to negotiate. First of all, because Wan Qianyang's personal charm and standard aristocratic English were frightened, thinking that this did not come from such an authentic spoken language where he had lived in England aristocracy since he was a child, which was actually due to the foreign teacher who learned English in later generations Wan Qiyang, and the foreign teacher who taught him English happened to be a language major, so Wan Qiyang also learned a particularly professional English aristocratic spoken English. Then let the other party also feel that Wan Qiyang's other personality charm is that he is wealthy, and he didn't make a counteroffer at all, but he just put forward other conditions, but it was completely unimportant to put forward these conditions, so they also agreed. For example, he bought all their slaves and then attached some ore, but in fact, the ore they loaded on the ship was also brought on board by the black slaves, which required to increase the weight of the ship during the voyage, so as not to capsize in case of strong winds and waves, and if necessary, to throw the ship off the ship to reduce the weight.
Wan Qiyang negotiated the business, and then prepared to bring the black slaves in his manor who had been trained for a long time, and then let them be the new black slave leaders. Although the language of black people is different in some places, there are always some similarities, and the most direct benefit is that these black slaves are controlled by black people, at least the mentality is better. Wan Qiyang knew that these black slaves also needed to be suppressed by force first, and then slowly become proficient and then indoctrinated, and finally formed militarized management, and finally his own army!
There were several ships of slaves who came this time, not including those who fell ill and died on the way, and many people who capsized a boat and drowned on the way! This time, a total of nearly 1,000 people were traded, and Wan Qiyang was going to arrange to do basic work in several factories first, that is, to buy hard work.
With the accumulation of coke in Wan Qianyang, more steel has been smelted, and after the continuous upgrading of the blast furnace of steelmaking, Wan Qianyang has also upgraded the machinery of the forging plant, and the flow operation, because there is a strict management system, so there is no fear of management accidents in the factory, at most it is only a small work injury. It is precisely because of the perfection of the management system that there has never been a conflict between the managers and the workers, because they feel that this is for their own work, high salaries, and most of the people are covered with food and housing, so everyone in Wan Qiyang's factory wants to come in, and Wan Qiyang firmly controls the technology of coke in the hands of his family. And all the waste residue produced is dumped into piles of hills in his own factory site, and since then it has slowly expanded to the seaside, Wan Qiyang wants to pile it up first, and then it can be used for construction and road construction.
Now that the steel can be used to cast steam engines, Wan Qiyang first designed several steam engines for forging, and then slowly applied them to the conveyor belt for transporting coal, and then to the steam locomotive, and the laying of tracks in the factory, so that the problem of transporting heavyweight steel was solved.
First there were several trailers pulled by horses with several trunks attached to them, and then there were two railroad tracks between several large factories, and within a few months a huge steel monster was found dragging its long tail and roaring back and forth between several factories.
Just after the appearance of this steam engine, the whole of Europe boiled! Wan Qianyang advanced the British industrial revolution by more than 100 years, just after Wan Qianyang introduced the steam engine, and at the same time demonstrated the characteristics of steel, Dudley also sent people to prove the authenticity of the news Wan Qianyang. As a result, he didn't even enter the door, and then after Wan Qiyang made the steam locomotive, he was ready to process some civilian daily necessities, which was a good opportunity to make money.
You must know that at this time, the whole world knew that Britain had begun the industrial age, and various countries sent people to study and observe. There are also many families and businessmen who want to seek cooperation, of course, this is not Wan Qiyang's concern, he only comes up with the finished product of the invention, and then the assembly line operation. The use of bearings alone makes those families who want to learn technology and produce their own finished products feel powerless. The most important thing is that Wan Qiyang has already let the Oliver family and the Jacob family apply for various patents, and foreigners pay the most attention to the protection of patents, of course, this is because everyone is a nobleman, and face is the most important! The united chamber of commerce is also based on this, and the patent application is made, and you have to pay the patent fee if you want to use the manufacturing.
