Chapter 160: Rapid Development
If someone has not been to Baotou for half a year, and now come again, I am afraid that I will not be able to recognize the appearance of Baotou, the problem of female workers, exposing the problem of insufficient preparation in Baotou, for this reason, planning can be faster than construction, the imaginary industrial zone, can finally wave the blueprint, start construction.
Baotou has completely become a large construction site, from the frozen soil time, there is less than a month to go, another highway, Baotou to Taiyuan highway, is also under intense construction, but several major families, for the recruitment of construction workers and masons, has not stopped, in a sense, the cotton mill has become a link between Baotou and Jin merchants, the new family, as well as many small and medium-sized families, the influence of Baotou, suddenly expanded to the whole Shanxi, and the recruitment of hands and feet, The same is widening.
Shanxi in this era, not like later generations, has tens of millions of people, population resources province, but Shanxi is also a traditional Chinese mainland province, has always developed well, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the rise of Jin merchants, from the other side to promote the development of Shanxi, this labor force, there is really no shortage of manpower.
The 1,400 workers recruited from the United States will make Baotou plug in the wings of take-off, and the basic heavy chemical plants with three acids and two alkalis can also be built one by one, Yang Yuanzhao's understanding of the chemical field is limited to the chemical knowledge of high school and university, and it is more the foundation of the real room, but it has to be denied that Yang Yuanzhao has a much farther vision than this era, most people, this kind of vision, in the poor and backward Baotou, is precious.
How big the heart, how big the goal, how big the success, this sentence, is a wise saying, 20 square kilometers of industrial zone, has begun a full range of construction, everywhere in the excavation of the foundation, frozen soil period, the excavation of the foundation will be very difficult, 20 square kilometers of construction, not overnight can be completed, always can not let the hard recruitment of personnel, in vain in Baotou cat half a year of winter, so it is too wasteful.
In this regard, Yang Yuanzhao has a certain mistake, did not make preliminary preparations a few months ago, Baotou and China are too backward, and he has to start with it, take the three acids and two alkalis as an example, each of which is a multi-million project, plus the expansion of cement factories such as highways and cotton mills, Yang Yuanzhao is also busy and anxious, and this matter is in a hurry to deal with it.
1400 people are coming soon, just the implementation of the residence and the real yàn room, fortunately in this era of three acids and two alkalis, do not need much of a large plant, only use the steel structure on the basis of the expansion of the surface of the good, in the future, when this factory, the real development, and then consider the expansion of the industrial zone, 1400 workers, as well as many researchers, they have their own place, researchers into the real yàn room, workers, will gradually sample the two acids and one alkali in the three acids and two alkalis.
More and more people are flocking to Baotou, 6,000 people in the cement factory, 5,000 people in the cotton textile factory, temporarily guaranteed 5,000 people, and three acids and two alkalis in the future, almost more than 10,000 people, this is the scale of tens of thousands of people, such a scale of industrialization, in China, I am afraid that the three major industrial centers can not compare, just in the winter of 1908, only this unstoppable northland, slowly formed, is only a prototype, full of infinite power.
The harvest of cotton is close at hand, Yang Yue has been in the cotton field for several days in a row, Yang Yuanzhao can't take care of the yield and yield of cotton, he knows that the harvest of cotton is related to the completion of his first daily task, a few months later, this is the completion of this one, more or less depressed, fortunately, the foundation of Baotou is poor, in the future, with the industrialization of Baotou to catch up, and then complete the task, it should be relatively easy, and even complete a few tasks at one time, when the time comes, it will be much easier.
On this day, Yang Yuanzhao was in the office, and now several projects are on the ground at the same time, and the official documents that need to be handled by him every day are also varied, the cotton mill was handed over to Liu Shu, and the cement factory was handed over to Li Mingsheng.
Without nitric acid, this one, ready-made solutions and second-hand factories, it is impossible to import it, this is an important military resource, just like the arms production line of later generations, it is a minefield, and it cannot be moved at all, unless it is a huge breakthrough in synthetic ammonia technology, 12 high-pressure closed containers have been ordered from Germany, all of them have been shipped, and they have been floating in the Mediterranean, and the follow-up order, German companies have been following up, striving to be able to get back a few more high-pressure sealed containers before the German government and military find out.
The caustic soda factory, also because of the commissioning of the soap factory, was in progress, and the workers from Germany reassured him that York even promoted a certain degree of improvement according to the existing conditions, with the help of the steam engine for cotton weaving, without increasing the production capacity much, but the use of personnel and production efficiency increased by 50, reaching the German first process.
In the second-hand, backward era, almost more than ten years and said that things have reached the advanced level of this era, the steam engine is an aspect, York's ability, but also Yang Yuanzhao affirmed, for this reason, Yang Yuanzhao directly raised York's salary, from the original 200 marks, to 450, to reach the general factory, the most important technical personnel Cheng dù, and the month on the heavy reward of 500 yuan, as a blueprint, as long as it can be for production, there is a heavy dà contribution, do not hesitate to reward.
York's example stimulated the enthusiasm of the soap factory, and any substantial planning and improvement of production, according to the effect and process, would be rewarded with 100-5000 marks, and 100 marks would be reversed, that is, the wages of ordinary workers for one or two months, and 5000 marks would be different, which represented a house in Germany, a house with a garden, and a small farm, and all the ground workers were professional practitioners. They came up with a lot of great ideas.
Most of them are wrong, even utopian, but a few mentions, but in a certain way, increase the efficiency of the factory, especially a worker proposed, adding flavors, so that the soap becomes soap, and also proposed a substantial mixing method, which made Yang Yuanzhao extremely surprised, he had considered it before, but in the artificial flavor and natural flavor consideration, and there were no samples and researchers, so I put it down, I didn't expect this worker to understand.
Yang Yuanzhao came from later generations, and he knew very well that the difference between soap and soap, the former, which can only be used as a detergent, is a low-end product that occupies the market, the price is cheap, and it is a necessity of life, and the latter has risen to the level of luxury jewelry, or high-end products, a piece of soap that is only one-third, or one-quarter, after careful preparation, and even a series of packaging, his value can be sold for five to ten times that of soap.
In this era, soap is really rare, in China, that is, Shanghai, Tianjin and other megacities, there is only a small amount of sales, even in foreign countries, there are very few soaps that can be used, this proposed, obviously, in the soap production line to dry, some of his mentions, even directly from Germany, tempered production experience, don't look at just an ordinary worker, but precious.
Yang Yuanzhao cashed in his reward on the spot, 1000 marks, which surprised the workers who only had a salary of about 120 marks, and even, he was promoted to the team leader of the soap project, with 3 engineers and 7 technicians, to jointly carry out the trial production of soap and the adjustment of the production line.
The soap factory is on the right track, but several other small factories are difficult, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, these three basic chemical raw materials, in foreign countries, are almost all over the basic raw materials in the chemical field, in this era, the Chinese people do not know much, even if Yang Yuanzhao has created a large number of miracles before, this has never heard of something, can it make money,
Therefore, the basic project of three acids and two alkalis, basically, is done by Yang Yuanzhao, if it weren't for Liu Shu to send a few people over to help him deal with it, even if he has three heads and six arms, he may not be able to handle it well.
With the three kinds of equipment, as well as the German side, about the layout of the three basic chemical products, for unfamiliar areas, Yang Yuanzhao did not dare to change casually, he just expanded a little, for these enterprises, outflow, the necessary space, in order to cope with the future expansion, and then it is nervous to lay the foundation.
The planned 20 square kilometers of industrial area, now, because of the construction of several large factories, all of a sudden used 3 square kilometers, of which, the cotton mill covers the most huge area, 2 square kilometers of land area, the most important thing is that the foundation, unlike other factories, is almost a comprehensive foundation, recruited from all over the young and strong and masons, now working in Baotou, full of 15,000 people, cotton textile factory construction site, there are almost 3,000 people, the rest, Except for a large part of the construction sites assigned from Baotou to Taiyuan, they are all among the five small factories.
There are many people who are easy to do, plus a large number of bulldozers, road rollers, and tower cranes, and the reasonable use of machine equipment, all along, has become the characteristics of Baotou, greatly speeding up the speed, Qian Hu with more than 3,000 people, born in more than half a month, completed the construction of the cement plant, here, it also appeared, cotton textile factory, with the help of 3,000 people, all the foundation has been laid, the most important workshop, has also entered the tense construction of the steel structureAlthough the room is larger and occupies a larger area, there is only one floor, 4.5 meters high, enough to accommodate all the people and machines, accurate design, and simple structure, so that the construction process is getting faster and faster, and Baotou is changing day by day.
