Chapter 165: Experimental Equipment
Take the piece of paper in Yang Yue's hand, there is a series of characters written on it, there are English and Chinese, English Yang Yuanzhao is very familiar, under the big eye, you can understand Yang Yue's intentions, on the above, most of them are listed, are the names of some machine qì, are closely related to agriculture, seed science, genetics machine qì equipment.
Yang Yuanzhao picked up a pen and kept scratching on the piece of paper, every time he crossed out, Yang Yue's heart trembled, those are relatively expensive equipment, could it be that Yang Yuanzhao does not agree with his research, but all along, the investment in the Agricultural Research Institute is relatively large.
In Yang Yue's view, maybe, next, you can enter the cultivation of cotton seeds, this kind of excellent breeding, the need to invest a huge amount of money, also need to import a number of the most advanced agricultural equipment in the United States, according to the current Baotou side of the profit process, he designed out about 100,000 US dollars of equipment, although it will squeeze out a part of the income, but in order to cotton planting can go to a higher level, such an investment should be acceptable.
Finally, Yang Yuanzhao finished painting, handed the piece of paper to Yang Yue, Yang Yue's heart tightened for a while, and after such a drawing, the equipment on it was scattered, the most important seed analyzer, spectrometer, and petri dish, culture liquid, etc., the most important items were crossed, but a small number of machines were left, almost one or two hundred thousand dollars.
Baotou is really short of money to this journey, Yang Yue is obsessed with research work, and he does not have a special understanding of the current situation of Baotou, but he also understands several major events more or less. Cement factory, cotton mill. There is also a highway plan from Baotou to Taiyuan, which is a huge investment. Perhaps, the funds in Yang Yuanzhao's hands are really limited, but he can't cross out the most important ones, at most, it is a little more difficult for him to pick out the projects of one or two hundred thousand, and those stubble equipment can be put aside first.
"Yuan Zhao. Or, replace it first! ”
"What to change, I can't change it, it has been shipped, and it is estimated that it will be shipped to China soon!"
Yang Yue was a little confused when he heard it, this seemed to be a conversation between the bull's head and the horse's mouth, what has been loaded on the ship, isn't he going to change the machine?
Seeing that Yang Yue was confused, Yang Yuanzhao simply said bluntly: "These are the machines I crossed out." Already through guò harpy, purchased in the United States, many of them are still on top of what you wrote. I'll cross them out in my hands, and there's no way to change them, so I'll make do with them first. Give me a list of the equipment you still need. I asked the German American branch to make the purchase! ”
How could Yang Yuanzhao take agriculture lightly, the agriculture of later generations. It has always been China's national foundation, and the red line of cultivated land, even when real estate is the pillar industry, has not been shaken, ensuring a certain amount of grain production, which is related to the stability of the country. In any industry, if there is no support from agriculture, what kind of situation will occur when the workers are not well fed, he knows very well that no matter how steel a man is, he is afraid of starvation, how can he work with peace of mind in the case of hunger, and it is good not to rebel.
At the beginning of the 20th century, what was the most prosperous period of revolutionism, Yang Yuanzhao was to build a great industrial base, to ensure something for the Chinese nation, not to defeat this for the violent revolution, any of his industrial plans, there was a premise, that is, to ensure that everyone could eat as much as possible, and then consider the issue of treatment and enjoyment.
So don't say it's 100,000, even if it's 1 million, 10 million, as long as it has certain benefits for agricultural research, Yang Yuanzhao will definitely invest in it, but this batch of equipment is as high as 1 million US dollars, which is only the first batch.
"Ah, it's more advanced than this!" Yang Yue looked at Yang Yuanzhao in amazement, the testing machine is different from the ordinary machine, the accuracy is improved by one level, maybe it is only from one centimeter to one millimeter, or from one millimeter to one micron, the change in price is definitely turning over, the list he listed before is about 100,000 US dollars at most, but if these machines are better than those, just these machines are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even more.
This time cotton planting, is indeed a huge income, take the average yield of almost 300 catties now, the gross profit is between 25 yuan, deducting the cost of 7 yuan, the reclamation company can withdraw about 7 yuan at most, that is, hundreds of thousands, he set up 100,000 US dollars, but also based on this, not only to use the funds of the reclamation company, their Yang family's income, will also move a part, I didn't expect Yang Yuanzhao didn't think much about it at all, and directly gave a better machine, he was happy, the researcher was just worried that the machine was not good, I have never been worried about the machine, but can the reclamation company support it?
Hearing Yang Yue's slightly worried words, Yang Yuanzhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, cousin Ji, the account of the agricultural company is not the account of the reclamation company, but the account of me and Demei, so don't worry!" ”
Yang Yuanzhao really has money on hand, and almost all of the money he earns from China is invested in existing projects, and what can be used is the arms money from Germany and the United States, as well as the proceeds from the sale of tungsten in Germany.
At present, tungsten has formed a complete system, every month, will directly transport a batch of tungsten from Jiangxi, to Baotou, and then purified by him, converted into pure tungsten powder, and then transported to Shanghai, shipped out, about 4 months 120 tons, this is already a limit, which is not a very easy thing for Baotou where the highway has not been through, but every four months, the income of 80 million German marks, although converted into US dollars, is less than 20 million, which is for this era. It's definitely a huge amount of money.
The real equipment he imported from the United States and Germany, not only the agricultural real room, but also the other 12 real rooms, but also more or less purchased a batch of equipment from abroad, the total amount of up to 15 million US dollars, these equipment, will be loaded in the cruise ship, through the guò sea, with those workers, to China, even without stopping to rest, faster than them to arrive in Taiyuan.
Knowing the news that the equipment will arrive in Baotou within half a month, Yang Yue is very happy, at least half a year away from planting cotton, but in the greenhouse, with the help of various agricultural equipment, he can complete 2 breeding and excellent breeding, even if there is no result, it will also cultivate cotton seeds to an excellent level, which is higher than before, he casually imported cotton seeds from the United States, at least will be improved by a grade, next year's output, will be able to climb the peak again.
The classmates are about to arrive, and the machine is the same, almost in the case of double happiness, Yang Yue is already thinking about a better future in his heart, Yang Yuanzhao left him two steps, and the province disturbed his blueprint, on the other side, a group of people were installing equipment in the field.
This is proposed in the afternoon, the day has not ended, but the cotton field has been picked for most of the part, the remaining less than a third, most of the cotton pickers are mentioned, and the evening can also continue, cotton picking, different from harvesting crops, missed or cut by cotton, not a joke, fortunately, the power plant is not too far away from here, directly take the wire, fix dozens of arc lights on the cotton field, the current picking area, scattered has begun to finish, it is estimated that it can be picked before dark, the rest, Less than 5,000 acres, just gathered together, dozens of bright arc lights, can barely shine down.
When night falls, dozens of huge arc lights, was pulled up, this piece of land illuminated, today's 10,000 people have achieved remarkable results, there are about 5%, picking more than two acres, the rest are more than one acre, now everyone is nervous overtime, strive to complete all the cotton picking work before 12 o'clock, 2 days of work is done in one day, many people are racing against time, in Baotou, where the temperature difference between day and night is very large, the night in mid-October is relatively cold, but can not resist their enthusiasm.
The cotton warehouse has long been set aside, and the cotton removal will also be carried out after the cotton picking, using part of the machine, which is much more efficient than manpower, and it is expected that the lint will be converted into cotton within 3 days, and the trial production of the textile factory will also be at this time.
The textile mill has gone through more than half a month of construction, the main project is basically completed, the first workshop, the number of cotton spindles of 30,000 spindles, can accommodate more than 4,000 textile workers divided into three shifts, trial production without night shifts, it is divided into two shifts, the morning shift from 8 o'clock in the morning to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the evening shift from 4 o'clock in the afternoon to 12 o'clock in the evening, a total of 16 hours of time, can make the machine qì full load production, but before the production, the efficiency of the machine, no one knows.
More than 9 o'clock, only a small part of the cotton field is left, most of the lively have gone back, some of the more tired workers, after there is no new cotton field to pick, they also go back to rest, only a few hundred lucky people, fighting in the remaining cotton fields, the statistical results come out, a total of 27 people have completed the picking of four acres, the fastest, or the first to complete the cotton picking of the black thin man, he is very fast, also very lucky, is still between hundreds of lucky people, continue the last acre of cotton, It is estimated to end around 11 o'clock, and the speed of the others is not much different.
Yang Yuanzhao, who was already a little tired, said goodbye to Liu Shu, as the person in charge of the reclamation company, he needed to carry out simple measurement and grouping of the cotton in the warehouse, and only after the last person finished picking, he could leave, and Yang Yuanzhao could already be idle, and finally had the opportunity to enter the all-in-one machine.
