Chapter Twenty-Nine: Save Bullets
The three newly recruited translators and a few foreign technicians were very attentive, and with their cooperation they soon learned how to make these machines to the more than 300 female workers. And the seventeen literate female workers were also arranged by Yan Guang as clerks, who were specifically responsible for managing other female workers.
On the day of the opening of the factory, Chengdu Governor Yu Zongtong personally came to congratulate him, and Zhao Erfeng, the acting governor of Sichuan, also handwritten a plaque to send over, which happened to be the four big characters of Huasheng Company.
Yan Guang believes that as long as these two are in one day, no one in Sichuan Province will find trouble for him.
Of course, some small troubles are inevitable, but those small troubles can be handled by Yan Guang himself.
So, in the eleventh month of Yan Guang's arrival in this era, Huasheng Company finally officially opened.
With the opening of the factory, the first batch of cotton yarn and cotton cloth and other products were quickly produced, and because the distributors had been contacted in advance, they were very marketable.
However, this is also because compared with textiles from other provinces, Huasheng's products reduce transportation costs, so the price is lower. And in this era of attaching great importance to the region, although the origin of Yan Guang's boss is not very clear, but Huasheng's products are both Sichuan and domestic products, and Huasheng Company is undoubtedly the company of Sichuan people.
So in the first month of opening, Yan Guang found that it may be impossible to recover the money he bought the machine in the short term, but if he just wants to make a profit while maintaining the balance of payments, there is absolutely no problem.
And as Yan Guang expected at the earliest, even if only a small part of the more than 50 million consumers in Sichuan have become Huasheng products, it is quite a force, and Huasheng's current production level is simply not enough to meet these consumers, and it is not even enough to meet the 400,000 population of Chengdu.
Therefore, when the merchants below learned that there were still a bunch of machines in Yan Guang's warehouse that were not used, they had already run out to urge him to expand production capacity.
"Whew, those guys are finally gone..."After sending off another batch of dealers urging expansion, Yan Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead. It's really a tough bunch of guys, and even though they told them that they had started to expand, they urged us to move faster. ”
"Are businessmen always profit-seeking?" said Wang Er on the side.
Yan Guang glanced at him. "You've learned a lot."
"After watching it for so long, you always learn a lot."
"By the way, how are those guys doing now?" The group of guys in Yan Guang's mouth were the original ten security guards, and the ten new security guards who joined later.
These twenty people are all sturdy young men, and all of them are literate, but they have no experience as security guards in the past, nor are they from the army. Therefore, Yan Guang asked Wang Er, a former water bandit, and the current security captain to train them well, and let them know that five oceans are not so easy to take.
"Them?" Although Wang Er was about the same age as those people, he still laughed. "Those guys are lying on the bed in the dorm room right now, and they can't get up..."
"Really?" Yan Guang also smiled.
The group of security guards Yan Guang was preparing to be the team for the future uprising, so he naturally hoped that they would be more capable, but unfortunately Yan Guang did not have a suitable candidate at hand now, so he could only use Wang Er, a former water bandit, to make up for it first.
"But it's too late," Yan Guang thought as he touched his chin and thought in his heart. There are still three years before the Wuchang Uprising, so it doesn't matter if Wang Er is trained first, the military talent will wait until next year's stocks in London can be turned into silver dollars..."
After thinking about it, Yan Guang said to Wang Erdao. "Now that the factory is expanding production, the original more than 300 workers are definitely not enough, so we have to recruit some more workers from outside, well, at least more than 300 people."
"In that case, I am afraid that I will not be able to run all the machines, right?"
"Of course not, but do you always have to eat one step at a time?" Yan Guang said with a smile. "And there are more people in the factory, and your responsibilities are much greater than before, and the current twenty people are definitely not enough, so I decided to expand the security team."
"How much?" Wang Er hurriedly asked.
"Expand the number of people by thirty, and expand the entire security team to fifty people." As he spoke, Yan Guang rubbed his neck. "By the time all the machines are put into operation, there will be at least 2,000 workers in the entire factory, and I'm afraid you'll have to expand by then."
"But boss..."Wang Er scratched his head. Fifty is enough, right? ”
In Wang Er's opinion, the job of a security guard is only to prevent people in the factory from taking things out, or people outside the factory from sneaking into the factory to steal things, so even if it is a factory with one or two thousand people, fifty security guards are enough...
"Of course not enough!" Yan Guang waved his hand. "In the future, it will be expanded to at least 100 people, do you think that I will just build a textile factory? In the future, there will be ash factories and glass factories! This is also the reason why Yan Guang built a security force.
Although Wang Er is now Yan Guang's confidant, Yan Guang doesn't plan to tell him his true purpose now, and the same is true for those security forces that have been built with a lot of money.
Of course, in the end, I still have to say it, but at that time it was already the time when the movement broke out and Kawauchi was shaken.
At that time, Yan Guang believes that this team built by himself will definitely support him.
Speaking of which, Yan Guang remembered another thing. "By the way, you still need guns, do you?"
If you want to revolt, you always have to have a gun, how can you revolt if you don't have a gun, but fortunately, the problem of guns in this era is not difficult to solve.
"Guns?" After being stunned for a moment, Wang Er nodded. "You really need a batch of guns, well, ten Hanyang can be built." Saying that, Wang Er glanced at Yan Guang carefully.
Different from the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, during this period, Hanyang made a standard good gun, and the best one was only the Mauser G98 rifle of the previous generation, but at this time, the Mauser 98 rifle had not been sold to China, and it was difficult to buy it even if there was money, so the only choice was Hanyang made...
Although Wang Er only needed ten Hanyang troops to use for his subordinates, Yan Guang didn't want his rebel army to become a force that lacked even guns, even if it was only in the initial stage, but these Yan Guang didn't plan to say it to Wang Er, so he just patted him on the shoulder...
"Remember to save bullets..."
