After staying in the county for another day, he received a telegram from Kenneth in the United States, which contained only a simple sentence: The matter has been done, with the address: Pan American Ken's International Co., Ltd., 15 Broderick Street, San Francisco.

It also received a batch of special metals and more than a dozen workers and teachers who had been transferred through foreign banks, all of which were collected from No. 48 on the Bund in Shanghai. According to reports, the letter said that these people couldn't get along for various reasons, so they came to the southwest, and asked Zhang Shusheng not to pay too high wages, and he continued to send some workers and teachers in the future.

Zhang Shusheng casually gave them the share of the garment factory in the next two months, a full 100,000 pieces, and then divided the specific share according to his help. The group of merchants at No. 48 on the Bund profited a lot from these new quilts every month, and they were very attentive to him.

Now the garment factory with a monthly output of 50,000 pieces has become Zhang Shusheng's biggest source of wealth, and there are further expansion plans. And once the Western cloth labs found the formula for this new fabric, a lot of business was stolen. So when he left, he went to find He Fangjiong, the old man didn't remember what he said when he was drunk, but just patted his chest and promised that the production of fabrics would be expanded as soon as possible to satisfy Zhang Shusheng's garment factory.

With a bill of exchange from Crédit Agricole CIB with four million marks, Zhang Shusheng was in an unusually good mood. In the past, the tank drawings sold to the "future German tank design genius" Shidelman were only 2 million marks, and if they were sold to the Jews at a "50% discount", they would become 4 million marks, a full million dollars. That's a lot of money.

It's not that Zhang Shusheng deliberately tricks anyone, selling things, and when strange goods are liveable, it has always been a seller's market, depending on the customer's pricing. The Jews have nothing, just a lot of money, and 4 million marks may not be too much for them. Friendship is friendship, things can be sold to you, but the price must also be "negotiable".

Whether this thing is sold for another time, or used as political capital, or even kept for the Jews to use for themselves, it is far more than the 4 million marks. In case it is kept for their own use, the purchase of tank drawings is really the only Zhang Shusheng family in the world, so that they can catch up, but it is a rare opportunity to beg grandpa to tell grandma. A nation bent on recovering the country does not reserve some technology, and no one will believe it when it says it.

However, the old buyer is good, and the payment is very happy, and the 4 million marks will be used as their largest fund to ensure production and construction in the next few years.

The production technology will not be sold more in the future, let alone such an important military drawing as a tank. The reason why tank drawings are sold again and again is mainly to make the fight on the side of World War I more lively.

With his influence at this time, it is impossible to influence the First World War, unless he sells high-tech drawings regardless of the cost, but this is not safe, and second, it is also cheap for the enemy. Like this junior tank blueprint in my hand, it is only three or four years ahead, if it is really advanced, it cannot be sold, and the enemy is the same as suffering losses, it is absolutely impossible.

Back in Lishuping, he ordered someone to arrange this group of new technology workers and teachers, and Zhang Shusheng called Sun Changqing and Wu Tiejun as soon as possible.

"In the past few days since I left, nothing has happened to Xiaoqingshan." Zhang Shusheng sat in the position of general manager of Shusheng Company, looking at his two helpers with satisfaction, with them, he could rest assured that he would leave for a few days.

Sun Changqing took out a booklet, and he actually recorded everything in the book for a few days, and he was really careful, "A worker accidentally cut off his finger and arranged for treatment. According to the company's regulations set by the manager, the cause of the accident has been investigated and assigned to a more idle position. Vice Principal Yan of the technical school reported that some students could not withstand the high temperature and went down to the river to take a bath after school in the evening, which was very dangerous. Other production is normal, and the summer measures of various factories and mines are relatively well prepared. ”

"Report to the head of the regiment, the vigilant team of the militia caught two workers who were stealing, a stray habitual thief, and also detained a beating family member of the landlord Wang Laocai's family. All of them confessed on their own to ensure that the facts of the case were clear and unjust. Wu Tiejun put his feet together, saluted a military salute, and replied in one breath.

"The bathing rooms in three schools were expanded to allow teachers to discipline them strictly. In addition, the militia soldiers were sent to patrol the riverside, and once they were caught again, such students who did not listen to the teachings and did not care about their own lives would be directly expelled! Zhang Shusheng nodded, everything was quite stable, but it was just a small problem, closed the document in his hand, and made a conclusion about the rest of the matter: "If the thief has special living difficulties, give some money and send them home." If not, send militia soldiers to escort them back and hand them over to the local village head, this kind of person will never be hired by Shusheng Company no matter what. As for the habitual thieves, they will be directly imprisoned in the mine to work, and the family members of Wang Laocai's family who beat people will also be imprisoned together. Uh, by the way, the medical expenses of the injured villagers are paid by Wang Laocai's family. ”

After dealing with these trivial matters, he instructed Wu Tiejun a few words about the preparation and mobilization of his own ideological class, and Zhang Shusheng left Sun Changqing.

"Uncle Changqing, let's go to the garment factory today to have a look!"

Xiaoqingshan Garment Factory is located on the bank of the Sanxi River next to Lishuping, as a small tributary of the Jinshan River system, it is very rich in water.

Zhang Shusheng came back from the county seat suddenly, and even Sun Changqing was called temporarily. When he arrived at the garment factory with two personal guards, there was not even anyone at the door to greet him.

The garment factory has two doors, the front door for people to enter and exit, and the back door for goods to enter and exit. The whole garment factory seemed to be extremely busy, and large wagons came from the slag road, unloading truckloads of fabrics, and loading marked quilts and leaving.

"The efficiency of horse-drawn carriages is still too low, and I don't know when there will be cars." Zhang Shusheng said to himself, there was no one at the front door, not even a doorman, and the four of them entered the factory directly.

There was a strange and muffled sound in the garment factory, and if you listened closely, you could see that it was the humming sound of nearly two hundred sewing machines working together.

The ventilation and lighting of the factory are very good, and through the wooden windows, you can see the hot work scene inside.

The two guards stayed in the distance, and Zhang Shusheng walked to the window and looked inside. This is the fabric processing workshop, and the women workers are not sitting in a mess, but each person has a table, and a large basket is placed next to it, some of the women have sleeves in their hands, and some women have collars in their hands.

Everyone moves quickly, and although the weather is hot, they only wipe their sweat occasionally and drink two sips of mint water. After finishing this process, the women tear off a logo on the semi-finished product in their hands and put it into a cardboard box, and then immediately throw the fabric into the basket and then process the next piece of cloth.

Then there was a special porter to move the big frame to the next garment workshop, and everything seemed so busy, and occasionally something went wrong, and two middle-aged women would immediately go over to help solve it.

If there were another modern person here, he would have exclaimed: Isn't this a rudimentary assembly line production? And it's also piecework!!

Yes, this is Zhang Shusheng's "sub-modern garment factory". As a garment factory, once the problem of fabrics has been solved, the design drawings have ready-made styles provided in the dream machine, and the only thing that needs to be done is to produce them as quickly as possible.

This is one of the most untechnical modern assembly line productions. As a later generation, Zhang Shusheng was very aware of the madness of some garment factories along the coast in that era.

Although piecework production is not good for the health of workers, in this era when the poor only drink the northwest wind, you don't let them go to work, but you want their lives, but harm them.

Last month, the most diligent female worker, earning a full ten yuan, at that time caused a sensation in the village where the female worker was located, what is the concept of ten silver dollars? In Huize County, ten silver dollars can buy nearly 200 catties of rice, or 100 catties of pork. For the poor and white Aizawa Mountains, this is a huge amount of money.

Perhaps the salary given by Zhang Shusheng is not high relative to the value they create, but it is relative to the value of clothing bought in Europe. And to accumulate wealth and start a business, these are also forced things.

"Let's adjust their salaries next month." Zhang Shusheng stood outside the window, and these female workers didn't care to look out the window for the sake of piecework wages, and said.

"Up or down? Now the salary is very high...... "Sun Changqing said a little, everything is good in Shusheng, but people are too kind and always suffer. "Moreover, the company's expenses are very large right now......"

"Then it's not easy to improve the lunch meal, and make some money." Zhang Shusheng sighed, seeing that the middle-aged woman in the workshop finally saw himself, he said business, "When Director Sun comes, let's talk about the expansion of the factory." ”

"Manager Zhang, Section Chief Sun. Welcome to the factory for inspection. "The person who came is the person in charge of Xiaoqingshan Garment Factory, an old scissors tailor who is very good at craftsmanship, and many problems encountered in the production of the garment factory are solved by her, and the problem of lack of cloth and corners can be solved immediately by her.

Zhang Shusheng nodded and asked, "Is there no problem with the production in the factory now?" ”

"Manager Zhang, don't worry, no problem." Sun Hongying is the kind of person who pats his chest, and there is no word in everything.

"Is it really okay? Hehe, today Section Chief Sun and I are here to solve the problem. Zhang Shusheng said with a smile. Although there are more and more factories, there are more important machinery factories and militia groups that need to run every day, and he doesn't come to many places like garment factories, but after the cooperation of different departments, things are much simpler.

"There are no major events, the fabrics can keep up, and we don't have to worry about the clothes when they leave the factory. It's just ......" Sun Hongying groaned slightly, and then she said stubbornly: "Manager, can you recruit some more people to come in, in the next village, some people are almost unable to open the pot, they are all honest women, and they can get started in a few days of training......"

Poor Zhang Shusheng naturally understands, especially the work in this garment factory is very popular, and it is estimated that Sun Hongying has been entangled a lot. "I'm here today just for the expansion of the factory, let's go, Director Sun, let's find a place to discuss it."

For his current largest economic source, Zhang Shusheng naturally can't dispose of it at will, it is not easy to develop the economy in the small ravine, once he starts at the beginning of his own detachment from actual production and ignores it, it is absolutely impossible.
