Chapter 9 Some apprehension
Li Mingfang had already arrived, and he was also carrying five rubber wheels, and was loading the colored cloth dyed yesterday with a few workers who arrived first. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This was discussed between Qin Chuan and Li Mingfang last night, and today Li Mingfang led people to take out the dyed color and sell it to various cloth shops in Tianjin and in the concession, and Qin Chuan stipulated that the larger cloth shops would sell them a maximum of ten horses of each color, and the smaller ones, the three colors together could only sell them a maximum of ten horses. The retail price of their Aurora brand colored cloth is only allowed to be two to three pieces higher than that of the East Asian dyeing factory, otherwise they will not buy the other party's colored cloth in the future.
Qin Chuan asked Shi Feng to take the factory team to help, he washed up briefly, and then led the Chu family brothers and the four night shift factory guards to have breakfast. Qin Chuan decided that except for dinner, under normal circumstances, he would eat in the cafeteria.
According to Qin Chuan's request, Chu Yunfei hurriedly ate a few bites, and then led a few people from the factory protection team to hurriedly follow Li Mingfang with five carts.
After instructing Chu Yuntao to carefully add various dyeing and finishing auxiliaries in the dyeing pool filled with dye, and after the workers entered the factory and started the start-up operation, Qin Chuan handed over the work of supervising the washing and dyeing production to Chu Yuntao.
After Qin Chuan inspected the work of each post, he did not find any problems, so he took out the drawings that had been drawn a long time ago, and several pieces of single equipment that were done in the concession were needed to add singeing and cultivation and shaping links to the two production lines. Qin Chuan's drawings can only be said to be simple functional illustrations. called Chu Dazhu and his two apprentices, and began to instruct Chu Dazhu in the workshop how to install these subsequently added dyeing and finishing equipment into their respective positions and smoothly integrate them into the existing production line.
Singeing is to burn off the fluff on the grey cloth before tie-dyeing, so that the cloth surface is smoother, and at the same time, it will also prevent uneven dyeing due to the presence of fluff. The principle is very simple, that is, the grey cloth is flat and quickly passed through the high-temperature flame, or the red-hot metal surface, at this time, the fluff on the cloth surface will quickly heat up and burn, and the cloth body is relatively tight, the temperature is slower, and before the ignition point, it has left the flame or red-hot metal surface, so as to achieve the purpose of burning the fluff and not damaging the grey cloth.
With this singeing process, Qinchuan's colored cloth will have better silkiness.
In the finishing process of fabric printing and dyeing, there is a very important process, which is high-temperature shaping. This process is not only to dry the colored cloth, this process has high requirements for temperature and humidity, humidity is particularly important, and the temperature should be controlled according to the fabric of different textures and different warp and weft densities, fortunately, Qinchuan now only prints and dyes cotton fabrics, and the temperature is controlled at about 70 degrees. As for the temperature control, it is easier to solve, the temperature should be controlled between 150 degrees and 210 degrees, the main thing is to maintain stability in a certain temperature range, otherwise the color cloth will shrink significantly.
Although Qin Chuan is absolutely world-class in dyeing and finishing technology, he has also worked in factories in later generations, and knows all aspects of dyeing and finishing well, but he is a layman in terms of machinery. He could only pull Chu Dazhu's master and apprentice, which piece of equipment to add behind that process, how to maintain a smooth connection between the front and rear processes, and according to the purpose he wanted to achieve, the use standards after installation, and explain the drawings around the four rolling mills for a while, before explaining it to the three masters and apprentices.
What makes Qin Chuan happy is that what Li Mingfang said is true, Chu Dazhu's mechanical and electrical level is really good, Qin Chuan finishes talking about the installation location and function of a single equipment, Chu Dazhu ponders for a while and can basically come up with a rough plan for transformation, Wu Mingren and Guo An's two apprentices are not bad, both of them are literate, Qin Chuan and Chu Dazhu finished speaking, both of them took a few pieces of straw paper and quickly wrote it down, and according to Chu Dazhu's requirements, the two of them were busy measuring the length of the required pipelines and wires with rulers, and they were busy for almost an hour. Only then did he hand over a list full of various materials needed for the transformation to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan looked at his watch, it was close to eleven o'clock, and he estimated that Li Mingfang should have sent back the news, so he didn't stay in the workshop for long, and explained the things in the workshop to Chu Yuntao and Master Li, leaving Chu Dazhu's master and apprentice who were thinking about the equipment installation around the rolling mill, and hurriedly returned to the front yard.
Although Qin Chuan was very confident in his Aurora brand color cloth, he still wanted to know the reaction of the market to his color cloth earlier.
What made Qin Chuan a little disappointed was that until he finished lunch, Li Mingfang and the others did not come back.
Because the gentleman who was invited to the factory team will not arrive until tomorrow, those young people who have nothing to do with the factory team at noon went to the backyard training ground under the leadership of Shi Feng. They all knew in their hearts that the training in the morning made Qin Chuan very unhappy, and as soon as they arrived at the training ground, they all consciously trained in groups of two.
Qin Chuan, who saw all this from the window on the second floor, was very happy, but he didn't go to the training ground because he had something in his heart. He didn't even have the heart to go to the workshop, but after carefully explaining the things he needed to do in the afternoon to Chu Yuntao, he wrote down the key things and precautions one by one in German and handed them to Chu Yuntao. Keep an eye on Chu Yuntao, and after finishing work, you have to bring this piece of paper back, keep the content in mind, and destroy it in front of him.
Qin Chuan's German is very proficient, not only listening, speaking, reading, but also writing very fluently, thanks to the military academy where he was before the crossing and an infantry school in Germany to exchange military cadets between schools, Qin Chuan is a selected exchange student, he has a German foundation in the Institute of Chemical Engineering, and strengthened in the military school for more than half a year, if it is not crossed, he will go to Germany in half a year.
Qin Chuan's caution, Chu Yuntao understood very well.
The knowledge that Qin Chuan showed in the past two days, as well as the printing and dyeing skills that Qin Chuan had never heard of and surprised Master Li and the others, had already deeply impressed Chu Yuntao. What Qin Chuan handed over to him was something that the world did not grasp, and only Qin Chuan knew the printing and dyeing skills, and no matter how careful he was, he should be ten thousand points careful. Qin Chuan was able to teach him all this with confidence, and Chu Yuntao showed his trust in him.
Chu Yuntao silently remembered in his heart the words that Chu Dazhu told him to be grateful to this teacher after finishing work last night, and couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart that in his life, he would never live up to the teacher's trust, and he would do his best to repay this great gift to Chu Yuntao.
Watching Chu Yuntao go out to work, Qin Chuan absentmindedly soothed the black panther who had been rubbing and arching on his trouser leg and making fun with him, soaked a pot that Li Mingfang bought, asking for eight hundred copper coins Wuyi Mountain Tieguanyin, watching the tea ball in the cup quickly stretch out under the boiling water, and silently remembered what was on his mind.
The two sets of printing and dyeing equipment of the Aurora dyeing factory, according to yesterday's operation, the maximum production capacity should be more than 200 horses per day, calculated in 30 days per month, that is, the monthly output of 6,000 colored cloths, and the price of colored cloth is an average of 31 Yingyang, deducting the cost of grey cloth and dyes, electricity, coal, sulfuric acid, caustic soda, labor costs and paying taxes, which together cost almost three Yingyang, that is to say, he will make a net profit of eight yuan per colored cloth. If, starting next month, Ba and Sifu start supplying reactive dyes made with his patents, then his cost will be reduced by two per horse, that is, from next month, for every colored cloth he sells, he will earn ten dollars.
If you earn ten dollars per horse, six thousand horses will earn sixty thousand dollars. If you find some more workers, start to work in two shifts, remove the time for maintaining machinery and equipment, and reach the production of 10,000 pieces of colored cloth per month, it should be no problem, then you will make a net profit of 100,000 yuan per month, and the money owed by the dyeing factory can be paid off in more than two months.
It's just that even so, he can earn more than one million a year, although this money is a large amount, but compared with the funds he needs to do, the gap is still too big. It seems that he will have to use the money he earns to open a few more factories to make his money work, and he will use the money to make money.
Now he has little money left, and he has to wait for his existing 1,000 pieces of grey cloth dyed into colored cloth to sell to recover the money, and then he can afford to buy the next batch of grey cloth, this month because the cost of dyes has to be considered, the net profit of each horse is eight, and a thousand horses is eight thousand, and after the sale, the money in his hand will be eight thousand, enough to buy five hundred pieces of grey cloth. If nothing goes wrong, after six days at most, then his funds will become 46,000, then he can buy more than 2,000 pieces of grey cloth at a time, and after selling it, his funds will become more than 70,000, and at the end of the month, even if his funds are paid for the purchase of German equipment, from the next month, his funds will begin to be abundant.
It's just that the most important and critical thing about all this is to see the sales feedback from today and tomorrow. Although Qin Chuan can think that the quality of his Aurora brand color cloth is far better than that of the Japanese East Asian brand color cloth, Qin Chuan is still a little apprehensive before it is confirmed by the market.
