Yang Yuanzhao made a big concession, what is the problem, the intention was quickly signed, this flour mill, under Yang Yuanzhao's construction, was named Baoxin Flour Mill, with a total installed capacity of 3 units, 40,000 5 funds, Wei Ming solved 20,000, two landlords, one person took out 10,000, the remaining 5,000, Liu Shu and Yang Yue, who were left by Yang Yuanzhao, although they have no money now, but this money can be owed first, as for the cost and manpower of civil construction, it was taken down by Wei Ming and Wu Guangren and others.

This is Baotou, there are many wastelands, not far from Yang Yuanzhao's yard, there is a barren slope, there is gravel everywhere, it is impossible to cultivate at all, it is more suitable for modification as industrial land, the civil work is very simple, a simple house, by the way to dig a well, and buy a large amount of coal from the outside, these, that is, a few thousand can be solved.

Yang Yuanzhao's next task is to produce 3 flour machines, so that the daily production capacity of this factory can reach 6,000 bags, 6,000 bags, which seems like a lot, but it is really calculated, it is only 150,000 catties, less than 75 tons of daily output, not to mention putting it in the entire North China and Central China, even if it is in Shanxi, it can be consumed 7788, Taiyuan Foreign Bank, the daily sales volume is at least between 18,000 and 20,000 bags.

Ready-made things, with the help of those blacksmiths, 3 machines qì, only took more than 2 days to complete.

The first industrial enterprise in Baotou, very strange appeared machine qì waiting for the plant, two days, a large number of manual work, it is regarded as a large courtyard wall, standardized workshop, no way for the time being, fortunately, before the mention of the plastic shed, they got the plastic from Yang Yuanzhao, and the straw and so on, reluctantly completed a plant, the well is in a hurry, fortunately, the steam engine for water requirements, not as high as the draft, Baotou is close to the Yellow River, there is a small ditch around, From the middle of the ditch, a canal was brought in, barely solving the problem of water supply.

All the work was completed, it was already a week later, Zhao Shuming found a fortune teller, chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, set off firecrackers, was named Baoxin flour, and began the road of siege and uprooting.

6 steam engines, placed in the six corners of the entire factory, after Yang Yuanzhao's special design, they are in the place with the lowest flour concentration, not easy to cause explosion, coupled with good internal fire insulation, and so that the safety of this flour mill is reduced to the minimum, and even according to the knowledge of fire prevention in later generations, the dress code of workers has been regulated, some metal, easy to cause sparks, have been removed, the first factory in Baotou has also become the first, workers agree to dress in the factory, Similar to the work clothes of later generations, it is blue.

3 flour machines, 24 hours a day, the workers are divided into several teams, Yang Yuanzhao's machine, the use of very few personnel, those blacksmiths who were brought out by him, selected five people, as engineers, the whole process of monitoring the operation of the whole machine, Yang Yuanzhao later generations of the concept of the design of the machine, plus the military steam engine, the probability of problems is much less than other factories, in addition to these few people, the rest is a dozen strong men, they are responsible for feeding and loading the finished products into the warehouse, mainly hard work, Such workers were the easiest to find, and were picked out from among the tenants, and some from among the homeless.

Since it is a grain processing enterprise, it needs a huge warehouse, and there is no ready-made warehouse, Wu Guangren contributed his family's largest grain warehouse, although the new grain has not yet entered the warehouse, but with a flour machine, all the wheat is ground into flour, isn't it the best choice?

In April, the roar of the machine, for the first time in the sky above Baotou, Baoxin Flour Mill was officially established, with 56 employees, including several fitters recruited from Taiyuan, but opened the prelude to the industrialization of Baotou, with a daily output of 6,000 bags, after February, it was raised to 25,000 bags, and then steadily improved, from a small, only 56 people factory, gradually developed to affect the entire northwest, and even the whole country's agricultural group.

The courtyard where Yang Yuanzhao lives, Zhao Shuming and Wu Guangren are anxiously waiting, it is now May 7th, and the machine has been continuously produced for 10 days, close to 60,000 bags of flour, just piled up in the warehouse, the two landlords are also from the initial excitement, become numb, and even a little worried, you know, dozens of workers' factories, every day for eating, drinking, and flowers, as well as the coal consumed when the machine is running, and even raw materials, this is a lot of money, but the flour that comes out of the machine, Yang Yuanzhao was not allowed to sell, which made them more or less depressed, if it weren't for Yang Yuanzhao's strict order, and the largest shareholder of Baoxin Flour Mill, they would have sold the flour in ten miles and eight towns, which is all white silver.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wu, do you have anything to do here?" When Wei Ming came in, he happened to see Wu Guangren and the others, and asked a little strangely.

"Wenju, you came just in time, go and tell Yuan Zhao to accept it, if you continue like this, you can't do it!"

Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said with some amusement: "You are talking about that batch of white noodles, which has been arranged, today, load the car and set off!" ”

"Load up today? Where to go? ”

"Where else can I go, go to Taiyuan!" Wei Ming said calmly, these days, it seems that Yang Yuanzhao is in the house every day and does not come out, but he knows that Yang Yuanzhao has arranged a lot with the help of the Wei family and the Yang family network, including several, the investigation of each place, and even the distribution method of each level, even if he was born in a Jin merchant family, he was amazed, and he realized that the original sales of goods were not placed in one place to do a large wholesale, nor was it a traveling merchant who walked the streets and alleys, he divided different ways and sales methods, but just a listing together, multiple sales, It's enough for Wei Ming to ponder, not to mention, there are follow-up sales, extended sales, and even promotions.

The reason why the goods were pressed for ten days is for the sake of a blockbuster effect, 60,000 bags of white noodles, perhaps for the small city of Baotou, is a behemoth, piled up, will suffocate, but for the broader market, this is a small number, just one day in Taiyuan, you can digest these, not to mention, there are many important towns in Shanxi, Taiyuan, Taiping, Datong, especially along the road of the Zhengtai line, these newly developed railway stations, because of convenient transportation, developed business, They are the best place to sell flour.

If there is any omission in Yang Yuanzhao's plan, that is, the traffic, Baotou here, is really a little blocked, from Baotou to Datong, and even to Taiyuan, it takes two or three days, and the cost is larger, if this factory is opened in Taiyuan, just a Zhengtai Road, it is enough to radiate the entire Shanxi and even most of the cities in Hebei Zhili.

Wei Ming didn't say much about this issue, he was a vested interest, if this Baoxin Flour Mill was built in Taiyuan, how could there be anything about him, after all, he was just a small character of the Wei family.

"Taiyuan, what are you doing so far, isn't it better to sell nearby, and you can earn more!" Wu Guangren shouted, Zhao Shuming next to him didn't say anything, but the doubts in his eyes betrayed him.

Facing the two landlords, Wei Ming was a little helpless, these two, although they are the leading landlords in Baotou, but the vision, there are really some problems, his eyes are only limited to the near, there is no long-term vision at all, Baotou is an important town, but also relatively rich, but the population is naturally weak, there is not enough population, how can white noodles be sold, Baoxin's daily output of 6000 bags, how many people can eat, sell around, is able to make money, but next, after the market is saturated, What's more, at this time, it expands outward, but in this way, this product has extremely obvious local characteristics, and the local products, even if the quality is good, how much can they be worth, can not shake the status of foreign flour at all, let alone compete with foreign flour for the market.

Or Yang Yuanzhao's method is better, with a vague concept, first spread all over Taiyuan, and then step by step, not to mention elsewhere, the entire Shanxi, and even Mongolia's market is occupied, and even along the Zhengtai line can be expanded.

Wei Ming opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to say it, looked at Wu Guangren and the two of them who were confused, and finally said: "Specific, it is being arranged, you just wait for the good news, Yuan Zhao is looking for me, I will go in!" ”

After speaking, Wei Ming pushed open the door and entered Yang Yuanzhao's courtyard, leaving Wu Guangren and Zhao Shuming even more confused.
