Chapter 464: Factory
Chapter 464 Factory
Vivien had been listening to the conversation between the two,
"Edison, what's the factory in London?" Vivien asked, curious.
"It's a coke factory, and there will be a steelmaking plant in the future. We have other collaborations with Viscount Neil, by the way, do we have any other family businesses in the Oliver family? Wan Qiyang asked casually.
"Of course there is, don't you also know that we are doing overseas trade? Originally, there were other families who partnered with us, but my brother turned down the cooperation, and the result was naturally lost the overseas trade over there, so I went to the Mediterranean for the first time last time, and then I met you, but fortunately I met you! The rest of the business is mainly developed in people's livelihood, and the scale of the business is not large. Vivian said that this was next to Wan Qiyang, probably thinking of the scene of being caught by pirates again, thinking of this, Vivian glanced at Jack again, and Jack was also very embarrassed by Vivian, I don't know if she was still hating Jack for hijacking their ship at that time, or if she was grateful that it was because of Jack's hijacking that she would meet Wan Qiyang.
"Then before that, you cooperated with other families, and what business was rejected by your brother?" Wan Qiyang just understood what the situation was.
"It's not a slave trade, but there are other mineral businesses. My brother may be more averse to the problem of buying and selling people," Vivien replied to Wan Qianyang's words, but Wan Qiyang still had a different taste in his ears.
"Slaves? Blacks? Africa? Wan Qiyang said to himself, naturally speaking in Chinese, Jack and Vivian couldn't understand what he was talking about, and they also looked at him with a stunned face.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhuang Yang came in after Jack opened the door.
"Childe, I have checked the security in the manor, because the manor is too wide, and in some places there are only small rivers and bushes blocking it, and the security is not too strict." Zhuang Yang reported these situations to Wan Qiyang.
It turned out that Wan Qiyang asked Zhuang Yang to inspect the security of the manor after he came back, because in the genes of Oriental people, there is a rigorous attitude to life, and it is more bearable to do things more perfectly.
"Vivian, let Steward Hank get in touch with the family that is in the slave business, let's just say that we will cooperate with their family for a long time in the future, how many people our family wants, now our factory needs too many people, and we will continue to increase the number of workers, especially in the future, we have special secret things to manufacture, and people who are not our own will definitely not work!" I want your brother to be involved, you know? Wan Qianyang's words were naturally very firmly in Vivien's heart.
"Okay, then I'll have someone inform Butler Hank! By the way, when are we going back this Christmas? Vivien just wanted to know what the festival was going to be for the next few days.
"Let's talk about it then, I can't settle down now, you know, these days are really busy! Okay, let's get dinner, I'm a little hungry! Wan Qiyang also really felt a little hungry!
The next morning, Wan Qiyang got up and did the same morning exercise as usual, in such a cold weather, he just sat in a thin single coat for a morning, until the sun came out, the snow naturally stopped, and there was a scene of silver makeup all around.
Some of the servants admired this quiet master very much, and soon after breakfast, Andy came to the castle of Wan Qianyang in Cambridge, when he saw that Wan Qianyang's manor was so atmospheric, and the castle was also very luxurious, he was even more surprised by this young oriental man, too bold, whether it was in the Ming Dynasty or in the Kingdom of England, he was a very experienced role, and he would definitely have his own deeds by his side.
Andy was directly brought into the castle after being informed, because Wan Qiyang had already been notified,
"Sir, Andy came to report. Is there anything I need to do sir for? "Andy naturally came here and made a state of doing things.
"Andy, I'm very glad to see you so early, it's true that I need people to help me at the moment, you also go find an assistant, the same salary is higher than the standard in other places, the treatment is naturally the best, you recruit workers around London, Jack, you let people communicate with the factory managers in London, or repair the dormitories where the workers live, anyway, the coal has not been shipped over yet, these workers also need to be managed by manpower, a thousand people in a factory, remember that it must be closed management, One day off a week, two shifts off on Saturday or Sunday, and a paycheck once a week. "The rest is for Andy and Jack to communicate.
Sure enough, in the morning, not long after Andy left, Viscount Neil sent someone over, and then Wan Qiyang went to visit their Jacob family's factory, which was also in the suburbs of London, Wan Qiyang got into their family's carriage, because it was Jacob's butler who came to pick him up.
As a result, the carriage first arrived at the Jacob family's estate, and after picking up Viscount Neil, the two drove together in a carriage towards the factory. The sun came out in the morning, and Wan Qiyang was also fed up with the bumps of the carriage, so he said to Viscount Neil: "Your Excellency, next time our foundry has its own steel, I will build a carriage for you to definitely make you feel very comfortable and enjoy, we will make a lot of new products in the future, and may need to be sold in European countries, you have to be prepared, and you have to worry about patents." ”
Neil didn't really understand what steel was at first, and finally Wan Qiyang finally understood why he always felt that this cooperation would have a good harvest, it turned out to be from Wan Qiyang's self-confidence, and just listening to Wan Qiyang's explanation for him, he was already very much looking forward to the birth of the product.
In terms of iron smelting, there are also many factories seeking breakthroughs, but there are always a lot of waste due to factors such as too many impurities in the smelted iron and insufficient temperature, and at the same time, there are some places where such refining tools cannot be used. When Viscount Nile heard that there was steel that was harder and more flexible than iron, his expression was incredible.
The two came to the glass factory first, and Wan Qiyang didn't expect that Viscount Neil would also go with him to the factory's workshop to observe the work of the workers. Wan Qiyang found that the current glass production is really very rough, there are many impurities in the glass, the opacity is very blurry, and the color of the glass is not uniform, what green, purple, it is completely random. At this time, the glass produced has been mainly soda-lime glass, with good temperature resistance, strong adaptability to sudden cooling and sudden heating, and the price is not cheap, Wan Qianyang frowned while looking at it, of course, Neil also wanted to see Wan Qiyang's dissatisfied expression, otherwise how could he have a better product? Wan Qiyang frowned now to indicate that he was not satisfied with the current production process, which meant that he had a better way to make better glass.
"Mr. Sniper, do you have any suggestions for our glassworks? How to retrofit? I'm really looking forward to what our products will look like in the future. Viscount Neil deliberately asked the question, also to see what kind of whimsy Wan Qiyang had in his belly, and how many times the profit it could bring them. Anyway, according to the contract, he earns it, although listening to their contract is a little unfavorable to their family, it is equivalent to giving more than half of the shares to Wan Qiyang for nothing. But in fact, the factory has not moved, the factory has not moved in the same place, and then every time I look at the income to double, it must be higher than the current profit, isn't this the purpose of making money?
"Your Excellency, of course I won't let you down, I have a way to improve the level of craftsmanship, so that the finished product made of this glass is completely smooth and transparent, and I can also make mirrors that completely restore all kinds of scenery, just make glass, Your Excellency Viscount, do you think we will make less money from this business alone?" Hehe, let's prepare a lot of raw ore materials from now on. In the future, it will be in short supply, and at the same time, people are ready to open a branch plan! "As soon as Wan Qiyang came, he began to draw a big cake for Viscount Neil, and he was drooling just by looking at it!
