Chapter 62: The Team
Yan Shao, who is still in Wuhu, has no idea about the fact that the people of Dasheng already regard themselves as competitors, but even if he knows it, he probably won't care.
Unlike Zhang Jian, who only values spinning, Yan Shao also attaches great importance to weaving and other aspects. This can be seen from the names of two factories, one is a yarn factory, the other is a textile factory, Dasheng Yarn Factory only focuses on spinning, not very much on weaving, which also has a lot to do with his strategy of 'local production and local sales', after all, the cotton yarn he produces is sold to local weavers.
Yan Shao's Wuhu Textile Factory attaches great importance to both, and he does not intend to let go of either spinning or weaving.
For Nantong Yan Shao just regarded it as a raw material production area, and sent people to inquire only to wait for the future to go to Nantong to buy cotton, by the way, bring some spun cotton yarn to sell, so that it can also save some costs, as for competing with Zhang Jian? Yan Shao has little interest in the market, which is already half saturated.
He really focuses on the four places of Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi and Sichuan, especially Jiangxi and Sichuan, these two places have a great demand for gauze, and Anhui is the foundation of Yan Shao, don't look at 80,000 spindles, it is impossible to meet the market of one of the provinces...
As the first and only machine textile factory in Anhui, Wuhu Textile Factory has no competitors in Anhui just like Zhang Jian's Dasheng Yarn Factory in Nantong, so there is no need to worry about the sales of cotton yarn at all. In Hubei, there was originally a Hubei weaving layout founded by Zhang Zhidong that was slightly threatening, but it is a pity that this weaving layout ended its official history more than two years ago because of poor management.
At the beginning, Zhang Zhidong's original intention of establishing the Hubei weaving layout was to use the profits of the weaving layout to subsidize the shortcomings of the iron factory and the gun factory,...... In the future, I will never ask for any more money from the ministry."
However, the actual situation is that the losses of the iron factory and the gun factory are huge, and it is by no means possible to make up for the gap by winning four games. "Self-inflicted" has become "self-dragging".
In 1902, the weaving layout had to end the history of the government, and was undertaken by Wei Yingnan, a Cantonese businessman, with an annual rent of 100,000 taels of silver for a period of 20 years. In the first few years of changing to a commercial office, the weaving layout has always been in a state of loss, and it is still the same until now, so it is naturally impossible to become Yan Shao's opponent...
Therefore, in the case that the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan and other countries have not yet penetrated into the hinterland, relying on Anhui, Yan Shao does not need to worry about profitability at allββββββ if nothing else...
(Historically, there was also a yarn factory in Wuhu, Wuhu Yuzhong Yarn Factory, which was the earliest machine textile factory in Anhui Province.) Yuzhong Yarn Factory was founded in 1916, by Wuhu County gentleman Chen Shaowu and others raised funds to open, investment of 200,000 taels of silver, a total of 18,400 spindles, 40 pieces of cotton yarn production every day and night, with "three more", "four joy" as the trademark, sold all over the province. In the early days of the factory, it was very profitable. It's just that after entering the 20s, Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries dumped a large number of cotton fabrics in the Chinese market, under the blow and exclusion of foreign yarn, Yuzhong Yarn Mill product backlog, capital turnover was ineffective, debt surged, and so on in 1937 after the Japanese occupation of Anhui, the yarn factory became Japanese... οΌ

"You two boys, push slowly, don't break the glass..."
Seeing that the two young men were a little reckless in pushing a cart of glass over, the foreman who was waiting for the glass to come hurriedly shouted.
Not long after the factory started, the road inside is all dirt roads, not the more common brick roads, it is inevitable that there will be some potholes, and the glass itself is very brittle, and problems will occur if you are not careful. So when he saw the two new young men being so reckless, he immediately became worried, after all, as a foreman, if the glass was broken, he would be responsible for compensation.
Hearing the foreman's words, the two men smiled innocently and slowed down their movements.
Pushing the cart full of glass to the side of the road, several workers who had been waiting for a long time came over, put on cotton gloves and placed the glass that had been cut long ago on two square wooden blocks. There are also a few workers who took a few after they unloaded the glass and installed them on the windows of the workshop, and in just one afternoon, most of the windows in the workshop were already installed.
The construction of the textile factory is in full swing, whether it is Yan Shao or Elaino, they are not mean people, the daily wages to the construction workers are paid on time, and there has never been a little deduction, those workers work very hard, after all, the owner has never treated them badly, they are not good to be passive and slack off...
Under the busyness of more than 1,000 workers, the wall that surrounds the entire factory is more than three meters high and has been built in just over ten days. The construction speed of the workshop and plant in the field is also very fast, but in the rest of the month, the production plant has been almost built.
This is probably one of the benefits of Qian Duo, at least there is no tragic situation like Zhang Jian that took more than two years to prepare funds alone.
"It's not strict, if you want the factory to be put into production, I'm afraid it will take a few months..."
Standing aside, looking at Yan Shao, who was excited, Riggle and several technicians had to remind him on the side.
Under the busyness of thousands of workers, the entire factory is almost rising from the ground, almost every moment there are new changes, Yan Shao's biggest interest now in addition to playing some shameful games with Elano, is to come here to watch the changes in the factoryββββββ looking at the ever-changing factory, Yan Shao has a sense of accomplishment in the past to play simulation management.
But just when he was excited, he was stunned when he heard the reminders of Riggle and others.
"A few months?"
"That's right." Riegel nodded. "It will take at least three or four months."
According to the prediction of Riegel's group of foreign technicians, even if the construction time of the plant is faster than expected, it will take at least half a year to put it into production. After all, in a textile factory, the problem of the plant is only the foundation, and the real key is the equipment installation and worker training.
Without machines, what do you do to spin and weave, and without workers, it's useless if you have machines ...
"It's already very fast, I expected it would take at least eight to ten months, and now it will be put into production in half a year, which is beyond my imagination," Rigel explained.
It is indeed very fast, and it took Zhang Jian more than two years to raise funds in history. From the construction of the factory to the commissioning, and then to the official spinning, it took more than one year and two months. In other words, Yan Shao's speed is already quite fast.
"In this way..."Yan Shao nodded, looking at the workers who were still busy, and had another plan in his heart. Speaking of which, it's time to build your own team..."
Pointing to the workers who were busy, Yan Shao said to Li Liang, who had been standing behind him. "Li Liang, what do you think of these people?"
"Them?" I didn't understand why Yan Shaowei would ask this, and after thinking about it, Li Liang replied. "It's very good, they are all diligent, and no one is lazy..."
A cold wind blew, Yan Shao tightened his clothes, although the atmosphere in the factory was very hot, but this could not change the fact that it was very cold in winter. "What do you think if three or four hundred people were selected from these people and formed a patrol team to be responsible for the security of the factory..."
After the factory has taken a slightly rudimentary shape, Yan Shao also intends to pick three or four hundred people among these people to be responsible for the security work of the factory.
Unlike in the past, in the past, Yan Shao and the others have been moving all over the world, today in the United States, tomorrow in Mexico, the day after tomorrow in France, and the day after tomorrow in Shanghai.
In this case, few Chinese people are willing to leave their hometowns with them, and Yan Shao can't believe the words of foreigners.
Now it's different, now that you've arrived in Anhui, it's very unlikely that you'll leave in the next few years, so you can consider forming your own team. Moreover, when the factory is fully completed, there will be at least five or six thousand people in the entire factory, and it is not impossible to count the iron factory and some other factories, even if there are tens of thousands of people, and at that time, Li Liang and a dozen of them will not be able to take care of them at all.
In addition, he offended the people of Mitsui in Shanghai, even if he is not afraid, it is good to be careful, not to mention anything else, at least he has to leave dozens of people in his family to take care of the home...
The fact that those workers worked so hard had something to do with the fact that Zhilu had told him about it.
After all, it's hard to find a generous owner these days, and having an iron rice bowl is much better than odd jobs such as wind and sun every day...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Hearing Yan Shao ask this, Li Liang didn't feel strange, because Yan Shao's idea of picking some people out of these people had already been revealed, and as Yan Shao's cronies, Li Liang certainly couldn't have known this. "If you're just in charge of security, you shouldn't have any problems..."
"Yes, if it's just in charge of security..."Hearing Li Liang's words, Yan Shao sighed softly.
In fact, what he wanted most was to build a team composed entirely of officers, so that when the Wuchang Uprising broke out, he could expand this team into an army in a short period of time.
It's just that there are too few literate people in these years, and those who are literate and want to be soldiers have all gone to the new army, not to mention that there are still five or six years before the collapse of the Qing government.
"Forget it, let's make do with it for the time being, and it's a long time, literacy or something can be taught slowly after they enter the patrol team..." In a moment you can send someone to inquire and see how many people are willing to join the patrol, remember, we only need people over the age of eighteen and under the age of twenty-five..."
"Don't worry, boss..."
