Baotou of the New Year's Festival is equally lively, and even said that it is much more prosperous than in previous years. To be honest, in the past six months, Baotou has undergone many changes, the most important change is that a large number of looms began to expand in Baotou, just the towns near Baotou, there are tens of thousands of looms, and more looms have expanded to the surrounding areas, Datong, Suiyuan, and even distant Taiyuan, there are a lot of looms.

The emergence of a large number of looms, so that countless farmers converted into weavers, Baotou is to provide raw materials, recycling the finished product system, the processing cost of a piece of cloth is not high, for the ordinary farmers who do not have too many business outlets, it is already a good income, a lot of villagers, maybe a year's living money, is only one or two yuan.

Industrious people are paid handsomely for their labor, and a family of 4 people, You can get an income of 1.5 or even 2 yuan a day, which is a silver dollar, a month down, very hard, but 45 to 60 silver dollars, for a family, once only the income level of farmers who ploughed the fields, it is already very high, you know, the previous Wang Sanjiang, relying on the harvest year, and the shortage of cotton, only to get an additional income of about 5 yuan, so that he is satisfied, a family of four laborers, can get less than 9 times, more than 12 times the income, which is simply unimaginable.

Although the weaving family has no grain for farming, and can only rely on buying it for food, it is no problem to pay more than 10 yuan a month, and even carefully calculated, more than 20 yuan or about 30 yuan.

The minimum standard for workers working in the reclamation companies and the entire Northwest series of companies is 15 yuan a month, and some of the more prosperous companies, such as flour mills and brick factories, some front-line workers can earn 30 yuan or even higher, especially the skilled workers recruited from all over the country, their wages are higher.

Abundant income, ordinary people and farmers to save, the tenth of the New Year, or will take out part of the income, for the purchase of daily necessities, generous pockets, will bring more powerful purchasing power, unlike other towns and villages, there is a special market.

The construction of a large number of factories, the construction of a super group, from the reclamation company, to the cotton textile factory, to the construction company, the cement factory, each factory is a huge ocean of manpower, not to mention some temporary small factories, the establishment of a large number of factories, produced a series of workers, just the number of workers recorded by the reclamation company, the number of workers paid wages in the reclamation company, reached as much as 150,000, of which the majority is the reclamation company and the construction company, these two major companies, with more than 100,000 workers, next, is the cement plant, Cotton mills, workers with high incomes and stable sources, became pioneers of urbanization and one of the representatives of purchasing power.

No one thought that the city with the highest industrialization in China is not thousands of miles away, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Wuhan, these famous big cities, is in Baotou in the northwest border, more than 300,000 people, just the number of workers, it is amazing to reach more than 40, which is absolutely unique in China, relying on this, derived from the tertiary industry, service industry, catering industry, etc., so that Baotou has become a real commercial ocean, 150,000 workers, plus spouses and relatives and the like, There are also some dual-income workers, which form the foundation of the market, and they are an expanding market.

Yang Yuanzhao came from later generations, China's developed business in the 21st century can definitely be said to be a textbook, although the current China, there is no development in all aspects, there is a lack of anything, but in Baotou to form a systematic market, it is still possible. The purpose of paying high wages to workers is not to enable them to save their money, but the element of commerce is to allow commodities to circulate, and only when they circulate can a broader market be formed.

Yang Yuanzhao is not a business person, at most he knows some basic business ideas, a month or two ago, he found from the report that the wages of workers in Baotou are extremely high, but most of the workers' wages are placed on the purchase of grain, in addition, it is saved. Yang Yuanzhao understands that the simple business concept, pay wages to workers, and build a relatively stable and wealthy middle class is the key to a stable system, this group of people, must have the concept of consumption, so that it will form a larger and larger market, so that even if Baotou has the same production capacity as later generations, there will be a gradually larger and larger market.

For this reason, after careful consideration, Yang Yuanzhao introduced the supermarket system into Baotou, because there are not enough security measures, the supermarket, did not choose the form of the supermarket in later generations, is the form of a large department store, one-stop purchase of a variety of products is the key to commercial marketing.

The three-storey building, covering an area of more than 4,000 square meters, a total of tens of thousands of square meters of business scope, eight major Jin merchants, as well as many chambers of commerce, have moved into Baotou, among them, even in order to supplement the goods, built several new factories, mainly concerned about the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, the largest, is to spend a lot of money to form a garment factory.

In another section of the yarn-dyed weaving factory, a striking blue building with the word Xinhua written on it, this is the largest factory built by Yang Yuanzhao in Baotou this month, Xinhua Garment Factory.

Garment factory, which in later generations, is the representative of light industry, clothing, food, housing and transportation, etc., is the whole of China's thriving industry, textile future, more is to fall on the clothing, not on the cloth, cut clothes by yourself, this is an amazing skill, not a necessary means of life.

In this era, in big cities, or more developed places, there have been ready-to-wear shops, those shops are just some tailors and the like, gathered together, and then rely on design and manufacturing, to make garments, a certain process, similar to the kind of handicraft shops in later generations, to achieve industrial production, must solve the mechanical garment making.

In this era, the sewing machine has appeared, the Singer sewing machine invented in 1851, can represent a milestone in the development of the sewing machine, the end of the 19th century when the global sales exceeded 1.35 million units, the electric sewing machine and a variety of inventions, so that the red logo of the Singer sewing machine is famous all over the world, and even this year, the first skyscraper was built in New York, which is currently the world's tallest and iconic building.

Among the products imported from the United States, the sewing machine, just as a category, was included in it, and purchased, before Yang Yuanzhao did not pay attention to it at all, after the plan to build a garment factory, it was turned out, carefully studied the structure of the sewing machine, the basic sewing mechanism is very clear, Yang Yuanzhao found a group of people, slightly modified, with a pedal instead of hand cranking, freeing both hands, tailors can use two hands to control the sewing machine, greatly increasing efficiency, This is a major breakthrough for Baotou, which has not yet completely guaranteed electricity.

Foot pedal, in the power structure, is not shocking, even based on the original sewing machine, power and mechanical engineers, simply with the help of machine tools, can be designed and installed, this invention, let everyone marvel, everyone said that this is an eye-catching invention, once introduced to the market, the field of household use, will definitely exceed the singer.

Yang Yuanzhao after getting a complete prototype, he began to prepare the project of the garment factory, as for the sewing machine, will arrange a small factory, for him to produce and research, before the steel is not completely self-produced, sewing machine such a thing, does not have the possibility of substantial promotion and improvement, just rely on him to produce all kinds of steel parts, he does not have this effort, can not do. Reducing the number of parts as much as possible, producing 3,000 sets of parts, then finding a machine shop, assembling it into a sewing machine, and the preparation of the factory is basically completed.

For more than a month, with the help of the perfect network of the four major families, a certain number of people began to recruit in the country, from all over the country, to find almost 3,000 tailors, set up a Baotou garment factory, with the fabric of the Baotou textile factory as raw materials, plus some later designs, such as buttons, zippers and the like, these things, do not account for the weight, the number is relatively not large, before Baotou has no ability to produce, first provided by the all-in-one machine.

The tailors began, they were not used to these things, especially the sewing machine, after several rounds of screening, only some young people could be proficient in sewing machines, Yang Yuanzhao didn't care, and from among the workers, selected good skills, young, flexible brains, and gathered them together for training. He didn't plan to make anything particularly complicated, underwear, underwear, autumn clothes, autumn pants, ordinary pants and jeans, and ordinary outerwear, these, there is less need for sewing machines, after all, the current sewing machines can only sew straight lines and some relatively simple threads, lace, buttons, and others, have not been studied, but that's it, the sewing machine also shows a strong ability.

Neat and double rows of threads, one-time molding trouser tubes, and some designs of clothes, with the help of a sewing machine, a skilled worker, can quickly complete a pair of pants, which is a thing that shocks them for the master of fine work, among them, can be called skillful, maybe a day to be able to cut a pair of pants, a piece of clothing, is already very remarkable, but with a sewing machine, almost ten, or even 100 pieces of production, this speed, is simply fantastic, It's as if a piece of cloth goes down, casually twice, a piece of clothing and pants, and it's done.

The garment industry, like a newborn baby, grows slowly, and gradually develops without anyone realizing it. RS
