Chapter 11 Great Construction
In the name of the foreigners delivering goods to Sichuan, the arms were delivered to Lishuping along the way, and in the face of the mercenaries of the foreign company, the bandits in Yunwu Mountain could only look at this large number of goods with dry saliva. Zhang Shusheng also remembered this group of troubled people even more.
It is said that troubled times produce people, and there is a kind of you who are really the opposite, just to attack the poor people, what kind of ability is it.
Time flies, and a lot has happened in these six months.
The goods of the foreigners arrived almost at the same time, the money and goods were cleared, the gloves were empty, and the transaction was completed smoothly.
After settling Kenneth's arms payment, Zhang Shusheng's remaining money was no more or less, and the balance of 300,000 marks was just enough for him to start his early career.
The seeds and fertilizers were also a great success, and the same crop in one field, two completely different growths, and a huge potato that had never been seen before, made everyone boil. Not only Lishuping, but also several nearby villages are also rushing to buy Zhang Shusheng's fertilizer and seeds.
However, Zhang Shusheng set the rule that it is okay to buy seeds, but the price of fertilizers and seeds is clearly marked, and no one will sell them without money.
But where did the villagers get the money? It doesn't matter, Boss Zhang of Lishuping not only provides seeds and fertilizers, but also recruits workers, and the villagers can enter the factory on their own, or the village can organize or pay for it, so as to take care of the families who lack labor.
In this way, the villagers and the village can only cooperate with Zhang Shusheng, and the villagers enter the factory as workers, or enter the Xiaoqingshan joint defense team re-established by Zhang Shusheng as full-time members. Of course, because of the lack of labor in some villages, they can only adopt the method of unified labor to earn wages, otherwise they cannot afford to buy seeds, fertilizers and winter clothes, although these things are very cheap, but without exception need money to buy.
When it comes to building a factory, we have to mention Zhang Shusheng's plan to recruit talents.
Kenneth came out of the horse, with his shouting in the Shenzhen-Shanghai area, the fame of foreigners, the temptation of high salaries, dozens of technicians and teachers came to Lishuping, including more than a dozen foreigners. Although Lishuping is poor and backward, no one chooses to leave after seeing the real temptation of money. Not to mention now, even decades later, there are more bitter places all over the country for money, and not everyone is rushing to go for money.
With talents, Zhang Shusheng's career has gone more smoothly.
In addition to the regularization of schools, several simple factories were developed.
After the ordered machinery and equipment were continuously delivered to Lishuping, the small hydropower station was the first to intercept the flow of electricity under the circumstance that money was paved to deceive and deceive. In the face of wages, the workers burst out with tremendous strength, working for a day, eating a meal of rice, bacon, and vegetables, not to mention, and taking a few cents of money, which can catch up with planting land for three months in a month.
With electricity, other equipment has also come into play, phosphate fertilizer plant began to expand production capacity, iron ore plant has also been built, iron ore is one of the unique mineral deposits at the junction of Yunchuan and Sichuan, speaking of beneficiation, it is the unlucky Kenneth, he is a low-level graduate of the mineral department, fortunately iron ore can still be found, and soon an extremely small steel mill was built.
With the sewing machine, the quilt complex factory began to mass-produce quilts, instead of the ambitious gas mask in Zhang Shusheng's heart before, there is no rubber, there is no rubber processing technology, and the production of quilts required for the European war is the most practical. Simple sewing machine, plus Boss Zheng of Huize County bought a new weaving technology from Zhang Shusheng, purchased a new textile machine to create qualified new fabrics, Zhang Shusheng's several factories, but only the clothing factory is the most profitable, has been through Kenneth as an intermediary, sold several batches to the British Consulate in Shanghai.
No one doubted that Kenneth's excuse was that Chinese manpower resources were too cheap and that it would be a crime not to set up factories in China.
In addition to the small hydropower station, the expanded phosphate fertilizer factory, the small steel mill, and the quilt factory, there are also two factories in the shadows: a military factory and a machinery factory.
Relying on a few technicians invited from the Jiangnan Shipyard, as well as a few foreign workers with technical backbones, hydraulic presses and several simple lathes formed the earliest machine factory. This machine shop, in addition to choosing to produce parts that are often worn out, also tries to produce new machinery.
Of course, its most important role is to cooperate with military factories in the production of Mauser rifles.
Although there is no shortage of technicians, after all, the composition of the entire Xiaoqingshan small industrial belt is very incomplete, and the current progress is that the first Mauser rifle is about to be imitated. The main problem is that there are production lines and technology, but there are not enough qualified workers.
In general, at present, there is only one quilt factory that has achieved absolute profitability, and although the machinery factory can receive some mechanical repair and order orders from Boss He of Huize City, it is always a small amount.
Although part of the wages are returned through seeds and fertilizers, Zhang Shusheng did not think about the workers of the workers, so that they could eat enough and wear warm clothes to be the right thing, and the wages were a big expense.
In addition, the wages of the dozens of coastal technicians and foreigners cost 2,000 silver dollars a month, and the cost of wear and tear in other factories, the purchase of raw materials, and the purchase of machinery supplements are a lot of money.
It is precisely because the new wear-resistant quilt of the quilt factory was sold to the battlefield of the European war, and the boss bought the money for the new weaving process and soap production process, that Zhang Shusheng had more funds to develop production, otherwise, although several small factories were small sparrows, they would have to worry Zhang Shusheng to death.
"Uncle Changqing, is there something?" As soon as I went to the small hydropower station to take a look, I found that Sun Changqing had been waiting at the door for a long time with the new little accountant.
"Shu Sheng, isn't this going for the New Year, Uncle Changqing is here to report to you."
Now Sun Changqing is Zhang Shusheng's big housekeeper, and Zhang Shusheng's accounting accounts are all in charge of the three of them. Zhang Shusheng himself, Sun Changqing, and the little accountant in front of him who had studied in a foreign school in Shanghai and had just returned to Huize County. Zhang Shusheng himself doesn't know how to account, he only cares about big money, and gives small money to Sun Changqing as a cashier, and an accountant does finance. He took the final accounts to Dreammachine to do simple data analysis based on a huge database. Therefore, there will be no problems with the financial accounts that have been verified by the three parties.
"Uncle Changqing, Liu Dengke, you all come in."
Sun Changqing and the little accountant Liu Dengke simply summed up, and Liu Dengke began to report the accounts simply, which were all big aspects, which were forecasts before the year-end summary.
"Because of the use of the new compact wear-resistant materials provided by Boss He Yarn Factory, the quilt factory has produced a total of 100,000 pieces of new quilts, exported a total of four batches, 80,000 pieces, a total of 1.6 million silver dollars, and a profit of 1 million, which is our biggest income this year." Liu Dengke is a shy scholar, and his voice is soft, and he reports his first big income with a happy face.
Zhang Shusheng nodded, came up with his own technology, sold it to Boss He at a discount, and fooled him into purchasing new equipment to produce a more wear-resistant fabric, which could produce quilts on a large scale. In addition, when Kenneth contacted the Jew Gruni, the other party was extremely happy to take over these batches of military uniforms, otherwise, the clothing factory would not have been able to sell so quickly. However, the work spirit of female workers is also worthy of admiration, Zhang Shusheng adopts a piecework system, under the premise of ensuring quality, more work and more rewards, women who have been poor for decades have burst out of superhuman work ability, several times are forced women to get off work, almost fainted on the sewing machine with a work injury. 300 pieces a day, a few months to reach the output of 100,000 pieces, think about although terrible, but this assembly-line-like clothing production method in later generations, the efficiency is very high.
"In terms of major expenditures, in June, a primary school and a junior technical school were built, with a total expenditure of 20,000 oceans. In July, it cost 200,000 silver dollars to purchase the best steel from the United States. In August, a batch of small chemical machinery was purchased, and a total of 300,000 silver dollars were spent. In September, it cost 200,000 silver dollars to renovate the traffic of the entire Xiaoqingshan. In October and November, Lishuping and other four villages jointly loaned us 100,000 silver dollars to build a water conservancy project, which was approved by you. In December, Cai Ye asked Yuan Zhan for urgently needing a batch of combat uniforms, and after coming to the door, with your personal approval, we provided 10,000 sets of new uniforms......"
Zhang Shusheng listened to this long list of numbers, one head and two big, in fact, he knew better than anyone how much money he had in his pocket, and the sum of the bills and gold and silver of several major banks was only 500,000 oceans in total. This still includes the balance in the early stage, and the money from the sale of weaving technology and soap technology later.
Judging from the books, not counting Zhang Shusheng's private 450,000 oceans, he only has 50,000 silver dollars in cash in his name.
Then Sun Changqing talked about other things.
"In the past six months, we have basically solved the planting problems, fertilizer problems, and winter clothing problems in the Xiaoqingshan Mountains. Basically, they were sold by recruiting workers to pay their wages, hiding the wealth from the people, and then buying them individually or collectively by purchasing them. In other words, in the past six months, we have achieved the problem of feeding and cloning the ten villages in the entire Xiaoqingshan Mountainous Area. In addition, the construction and expansion of the two schools is one of the things that will affect the Xiaoqingshan Mountain the most this year. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's more than enough every year, and it's good to have a balance." Looking at Sun Changqing and Liu Dengke's apprehensive looks, Zhang Shusheng comforted them a few words, said something about the year-end commendation, and sent them away.
Zhang Shusheng is not Sun Changqing, after all, their vision is only focused on how much they have earned and how much they have lost, and in Zhang Shusheng's view, the most important thing at present is not how much money they have made, but to quickly make their career bigger.
