Chapter 9 The textile mill has begun
As soon as Zhao Baokun heard that he was asked about his major, he immediately cheered up.
"At present, China's factories can't talk about management at all, completely rely on those foremen, and these foremen don't understand technology, two have no culture, they are completely a gang of hooligans, labor is still forced surname, the efficiency is too low, if you want to manage efficiently, you must abandon the original empiricism, and use the concept of scientific management to manage, establish an effective reward system, according to the piecework wage, professional training for workers, and improve the level of labor!"
Qiao Yu listened to Zhao Baokun talk eloquently, these things already belong to the basic common sense of relatively backward scientific management in the eyes of later generations, but they are absolutely novel in this era, and it seems that this person does have real talent and learning.
"Does Mr. Zhao have a deep understanding of Taylor's scientific management? To have such a ability is indeed to manage a factory well! ”
Zhao Baokun was shocked when he heard Qiao Yu talk about Taylor, Taylor is famous in the United States, and his views are gradually taken seriously, but no one in China knows this management master, I didn't expect the young man in front of him to say the root of what he said, how could he not surprise Zhao Baokun.
"Hehe, I've been in the United States for nearly a year, barely in touch with some, but to be honest, I really can't agree with some of Mr. Taylor's opinions, people are people after all, they have seven emotions and six desires, not machines, Mr. Taylor uses the method of treating machines and treating workers, although the efficiency has improved, but there are serious defects! What we want to do is to respect workers and treat them well! ”
Immediately Qiao Yu flickered Zhao Baokun and Tang Yisheng with a little thing learned in the university management class, these two people were immediately impressed by Qiao Yu's view that it was far beyond this era, and the two sides talked about the time of the lamp, and the three of them were called back by Qiao Cheng to eat, and after an afternoon of exchange, the two international students were completely convinced by Qiao Yu and agreed to work in the factory.
With these two assistants, Qiao Yu's pressure suddenly became a lot lighter, Tang Yisheng was responsible for directing the construction of the factory, Zhao Baokun helped train the weavers, formulated more specific rules, and planned the workshop. will be full of enthusiasm.
After another week, Buscht finally shipped the machine, and sent two engineers, as well as twenty skilled German technicians, after the handover of the two sides, the textile factory began to be busy, the Germans did strictly prohibit rigidity, as soon as the ship went to the factory to check, they were very satisfied with the design of the plant, and soon the machine began to be installed in the plant, and the specific things were handed over to Zhao Baokun to deal with, and finally the machines were installed for a month, and there was still some sweeping work left, and then debugging the machine, The factory will be ready for full-scale production.
After discussing with Bai Kuan, the factory was finally named Limin Textile Factory, which was intended to benefit the country and the people, Qiao Yu had already launched Sichuan newspapers to advertise his factory, and for a time the Sichuan people knew that Sichuan also had a large textile factory, and newspapers such as the declaration also applauded the construction of Limin Textile Factory.
This era is very sensitive to domestic and foreign goods, advocating domestic products is a general social mentality, only if there are no domestic products, or the quality is too poor will consider foreign goods, now half of the textile market in Sichuan has been occupied by foreign cloth, suddenly there is such a large textile factory, or Sichuan people themselves, not to mention more breathless, every time I see the construction of the Limin textile factory, everyone will give a thumbs up, praise Qiao Yu is good.
It took more than four months to calculate before and after, it was already February 1911, and the first family business was purchased, Qiao Yu was not excited in his heart, it was fake, but there was something more excited than him, the old man Bai Kuan had obviously lost a lot of weight in the past few months, but he was more energetic, coming and going between the factory and various merchants every day, without any idle time.
The groundbreaking ceremony was set on February 14th, the big and small businessmen of Yucheng, together with officials at all levels are full of interest, the prefect of Yucheng Niu Chuanshan also has to come in person, just past the time of breakfast, in the open space in front of the textile factory gathered thousands of Sichuan people to see the excitement, Bai Kuan deliberately chose an auspicious time, the ceremony officially began at ten o'clock in the morning, less than eight o'clock successively invited friends from all walks of life have also come, the vast majority of them are people in the business community of Yucheng, usually want to see one is difficult, But now they all gathered in front of the noisy square, talking eagerly with Bai Kuan and Qiao Yu.
The factory gate is designed to be very wide, more than 20 meters, and there are no lions on both sides that symbolize majesty, but two rows of pines and cypresses, which look pleasing to the eye, which is completely different from the style of other factories that are yamen, which attracts people's admiration.
Seeing that it was ten o'clock, there was another commotion, Niu Chuanshan's sedan chair parted to watch the lively crowd drive to the front of the factory, Qiao Yu and Bai Kuan immediately came to the sedan chair.
"The labor government is a great master, the sin of the little old man!"
"Brother Shuren, you are not kind, the smooth opening of the Limin Textile Factory is a good thing for Yucheng and even the whole of Sichuan, how can I, as a parent official, not come, do you say?"
Niu Chuanshan was obviously in an extraordinary mood, and shouted such a sentence loudly, and then everyone followed suit, and it was very lively for a while, Niu Chuanshan turned sideways slightly, pasted gold and white width, and said: "This momentum is big enough, I'm afraid there are thousands of people watching the excitement." ”
"Isn't it the Lord of the Mansion who appreciates the light, who doesn't want to get some light!"
"Brother is not making fun of me, but I have to tell you, you are going to touch the light of the Governor!"
Saying that, Niu Chuanshan walked quickly to the front of the gate of the factory, at this time the two guards carried a banner more than one meter long, respectfully raised it above their heads, Niu Chuanshan pointed with his hand: "Fellow villagers, these four big characters are beneficial to the country and the people, they are the handwritten letters of the Governor, and I am entrusted to give them to Bai Shuren and Qiao Shunqing, two gentlemen, two of whom have invested heavily to open a factory, pioneered fashion, and benefited Sichuan, and are a model for all businessmen!" ”
I didn't expect a factory to alarm the dignified governor of Sichuan, it was really unexpected, now the governor of Sichuan is Zhao Erxun, the one who later wrote the manuscript of the Qing Dynasty, the knowledge is not to say, the four big characters are also iron painting silver hooks, the momentum is extraordinary, but Qiao Yu immediately figured it out, Zhang Jian's kind of factory can alarm the emperor, and there is nothing impossible for him to alarm a governor, and in fact, Zhao Erxun is also sold to Qiao Guangyuan a face, Qiao Guangyuan has been the right waiter of the household department, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking official. What Qiao Yu didn't know was that Zhao Erxun had asked Qiao Guangyuan to help, so he sent such a plaque.
This is also a warning to those who try to make up their minds about the textile factory, pay attention, this factory has been registered with the governor, whoever dares to move will bear the wrath of the governor, the current governor is very powerful, as if he is the emperor of the soil, especially in Sichuan, there is no governor, but the governor concurrently serves, holding a gun in one hand and a money bag in the other, who can not be afraid of the governor on the ground of Bashu.
From afar, there was a pair of vicious eyes looking at Bai Kuan, who was the old rival Huang Million, who had just relied on the support of the British, and slowly controlled the cloth sales in Yucheng and even Dongchuan.
Bai Lao'er is not self-sufficient, foreign cloth is woven by foreigners, Chinese weaved, is it still called foreign cloth? However, as the newspaper continued to see the news of the Limin Textile Factory, Huang Million was also worried in his heart, could Bai Kuan really be able to make foreign cloth, just more than a month ago, a large number of foreign machines were transported to the factory, and some people saw many foreign technicians in and out of the factory, and Huang Million was panicked.
He couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart at this groundbreaking ceremony, so he quietly came to watch, when he saw the plaque sent by the governor Zhao Erxun, Huang Million was frightened, how could a small factory attract the attention of the governor, he couldn't figure it out, his business didn't have to be small at all, although the official face was also very polite to himself, but he spent money to feed it, but where did he see the kind of respect from the bottom of his heart, so his heart became more and more jealous.
