Chapter 50 Visit
Seeing that both of them praised their real estate development plans in the new area of another world, Xia Lin didn't have any complacency in his heart.
In his opinion, there are pros and cons to using real estate as a killer trick, and the advantage is that it can increase the value of the land, so as to raise funds for development. Needless to say, how many people in their previous lives looked at the soaring housing prices and sighed, and after a lifetime of hard work, they changed to that house.
However, Xia Lin himself will definitely not operate like that, he pursues technological progress, not capital multiplication, which means that he will try his best to ensure the interests of his employees, so as to ensure the overall vitality of the industrialization system he has built.
With a group of people to the first demonstration of the sugar and refined salt factory, the director of the factory Xia Lin's father John was already waiting at the door, seeing the noble princess and a group of richly dressed nobles, he was so nervous that his face was flushed, and he opened his mouth several times without saying the introduction draft that he had worked hard to memorize in the past few days.
"Your Royal Highness, the director of the White Sugar and Refined Salt Factory is my father John Carr, and the small sugar workshop we founded before is managed by my father, and the white sugar is also the so-called cloud sugar, please come with me!"
Seeing this, Xia Lin hurriedly played a round and took the initiative to walk into the sugar factory with a large group of people, covering an area of 400 square meters, a long stove emitting heat and a centrifuge and filter near the end of the river bank were very conspicuous.
"Look, these machines and stoves are the sugar production lines and refined salt production lines that I designed.
The sugar production line consists of an external water wheel, a centrifuge, a piston compression filter, a water bath pipe, a stove below and a living water cooling crystallization tank.
Let's have our staff demonstrate the efficiency of these machines! ”
Xia Lin led everyone to the production line covering a large area, introduced the composition of the production line in the strange eyes of everyone, and then asked Wyatt to let the employees start the production demonstration.
Seeing the arrival of the major shareholder explained in advance, the employees waiting by the centrifuge were already ready, and after receiving the instructions conveyed by Wyatt, the laborers immediately lifted bags of brown sugar and walked up the steps next to the centrifuge to pour the raw materials into the centrifuge, and then a workshop employee pulled the control lever of the water inlet pipe and connected it to the water wheel outside.
When the water level in the centrifuge reaches the scale mark, the manager responsible for observing the water level on the ladder immediately waves a small red flag, and the employee in charge of managing the water inlet pipe pulls the water inlet pipe back to its original position to break away from contact with the water wheel.
Then the management personnel came to the gearbox and pressed the start switch, and with the gears in the gearbox reset, the centrifuge slowly rotated under the power of the water wheel, and the speed became faster and faster, which caused the shareholders to be amazed.
The centrifuged brown sugar solution flows down the pierced valves and pipes into the nearby piston filter, and then the lower gate is opened by the staff to rake out the molasses through a hardwood rake.
This time, the piston of the filter moved by itself, and the dark red brown sugar solution passed through the filter and turned into a clear white sugar solution that flowed into the water bath stove pipe separated by an iron sheet gate.
Soon after, more than 20 employees at the end of the stove were responsible for scooping the sugar solution in the water bath that had reached the heat into the iron basin, carrying it to the side of the running water cooling pool and hanging it on the hook for cooling and crystallization.
The whole process took less than 20 minutes, and in order to explore the mystery of sugar production, the group of shareholders all carefully observed every detail intently.
"This is what I call the process of industrial sugar production, which eliminates the need for operator fatigue with the help of hydraulics and allows the huge centrifuge to be loaded and centrifuged all day and night.
With such a process, the sugar factory can produce 1,500 pounds of white sugar and molasses per day, which is enough to meet the needs of the entire imperial capital, and can even be exported to other regions and countries! ”
Xia Lin looked at the crowd with a look of surprise on their faces, and explained with a smile.
"1500 pounds! Xia Lin, I'm so glad I believed you in the first place! ”
Ellen Greg in the crowd excitedly looked at the complex mechanical structures on the production line, and was extremely excited.
Although the Greg Chamber of Commerce had been selling sugar and sugar produced by the refined salt mill for the first time, it was the first time he had seen the white sugar production line designed by Xia Lin, which had a mechanical beauty similar to that of Jenny's spinning machine, which made Ellen particularly obsessed.
Because what is contained in it is efficiency, but also wealth!
"More than that, my friend! There is also a set of refined salt production equipment here, by adding a raw material to the coarse salt solution and stirring and crystallizing, we can easily obtain 1500 heavy refined salt every day, and the remaining brine can also produce a unique refractory brick for the crucible of the soda ash plant and the steel plant in the future! ”
Xia Lin smiled at Ellen and said to the surprised shareholders.
"Oh my God, I never thought a watermill would work like this!"
"Indeed, Sir Charrain's wisdom is truly amazing, worthy of a mage!"
"Sir Charlin, I now have some faith in the world you described, where hundreds of workers work in factories with machines to produce a mountain range of supplies, and it is not impossible from the point of view of this sugar and salt factory!"
Princess Dorothea also looked at the centrifuge more than two meters high and the piston filter on the side with a look of amazement.
"I believe this day won't be too long! Your Royal Highness, please continue to come with me! ”
Xia Lin smiled slightly and said to Princess Dorothea.
Leaving the sugar and salt factory, there were still many aristocrats in the crowd calculating the profits of the sugar factory, and the next paper mill shocked the shareholders even more.
The cement pulp storage tank that stretches for nearly 100 meters, the papermakers who keep copying paper next to the pool, and the transporters who transport the paper to the semi-open drying workshop by trolley.
The two hundred employees in the paper mill seemed so busy and orderly, revealing an industrial beauty that the aristocracy had never seen before.
Roy, the director of the factory, also gave a detailed and vivid introduction, and the daily output of 80,000 sheets of paper once again amazed the nobles.
"Oh my God, I knew I would have invested in a paper mill!"
"Don't be delusional! There is no room for us to invest in a paper mill! Her Royal Highness, Sir Charlene, the Royal Academy of Magic, Hozia, Laurent, Colin, Eddard, Eugene, and the Greg family have already divided the shares of the paper mill! ”
"I really envy the Greg family, who was able to excavate such a rough stone and get this opportunity for investment!"
The nobles behind him were talking, and the limelight, Ellen Greg, was full of pride and comfort that could not be concealed, obviously very proud of his talent that he had taken a fancy to Xia Lin.
Among the many viscount families of the Enlightened Sect, except for the Colin family, who have been the captains of the palace guard for generations, the Ed family, who have been the Grand Inquisitors for generations, and the Eugene family, who run the magic stone and magic materials business, only the Greg family, who was the first to invest, obtained a stake in the paper mill.
Now it seems that his vision is right, he has brought a hen that lays golden eggs to the family, and just thinking about the daily profits of the sugar and salt mills, the paper mills and the textile mills, his heart flutters, and he can't help grinning, and he can see that the nobles on the side, whose average age is more than a round older than him, are envious and jealous.
Needless to say, the efficiency of the new shuttle loom shocked almost all the nobles who knew something about the trade, and they became more and more eager to communicate with Ellen Greig, who had mastered the factory.
It is also surprising that the dwarven masters in the machine tool factory use those strange machine tools that they don't understand to process iron into all kinds of items, but if they can only process wrought iron, the scope of application is still too narrow.
Everyone is very interested in the products of the brick factory, the cement factory, and the soda ash plant, but at present, the industrial park does not sell these products to the public for the time being, and the shareholders can only look forward to the future profits of these three factories through the cost and predetermined selling price provided by Xia Lin.
