Chapter 035: The Mother of Industry

At the beginning of the new week, Lin Zhichao quickly devoted himself to work and became busy.

He is not a love brain, and making money now is his biggest motivation, not to mention that it is impossible for him to run away.

In the morning, Lin Zhichao was in the factory of Cheung Kong Industrial, instructing the workers to rearrange the factory and clean it up; He wants to implement the '4S' management model for the whole factory, which is a foundation for the quality of zippers in the future.

Seeing that Lin Zhichao had set aside a large area, Bao Chunlai finally couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what kind of machine are you going to put here?" ”

Lin Zhichao said casually: "Yes, I imported three automatic zipper machines, and I plan to eliminate the handicraft workshop of Cheung Kong Industrial." ”

Bao Chunlai was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Automatic zipper machine?" ”

Lin Zhichao looked at Bao Chunlai and decided to let him die.

Bao Chunlai was a talent, but it was only useful for his early career.

In Lin Zhichao's vision, the zipper business is only a part of his entire industrial chain, and he will eventually build a large-scale industrial chain in Hong Kong, Singapore, and even the world. Therefore, whether it is Bao Chunlai or Li Gaofu, they will eventually be able to grow into a middle-level manager, after all, the education level is limited.

"Not bad! The amount of a machine produced in a day is about 100 times that of a skilled worker, that is, it can produce at least 50 dozen zippers per day; The important thing is that the zippers produced by the machine are of better quality and cheaper. Once our machines are put into production, zipper workshops throughout Asia will be devastated. ”

"Manager Bao, when the time comes, you can take a good look at what it means - science is the primary productive force."

Bao Chunlai was dumbfounded, and all his good wishes were shattered. In his heart, he has always had the idea of competing fairly with the boss next year, but at this moment it is already fragmented. Even, he felt that the current boss was vulnerable in front of him.

But now, just a few words, Bao Chunlai has seen the continuous production of 'cheap and high-quality' zippers by Cheung Kong Industrial's machines, so that there is no room for hand-made zippers.

Lin Zhichao ignored him, he decided to train the workers in advance, and used the blackboard to explain the principle and use of the automatic zipper machine to the workers, the process, etc.

He brought back the information to Hong Kong, and just took advantage of this time to train a group of qualified zipper workers.

It is expected that the automatic zipper machine will arrive in Hong Kong, and Cheung Kong has expanded to a small and medium-sized factory with 60 or 70 employees, although it is called an 'automatic zipper machine', but it only solves the most complex and longest step of 'rice rowing'; Other processes naturally need workers, but the requirements are not so high.

At the same time, the machine also needs people to operate, so the zipper factory is still a large employer.

........

Changxing Trouser Chain Factory is a factory in Hong Kong that is old qualified to hand-make zippers, and its owner is called 'Fang Hong'. With nearly 20 skilled workers, the factory can produce '8 dozen' zippers per day, and the products are sold not only locally in Hong Kong but also in Guangdong Province.

Recently, Fang Hong felt a lot of pressure, and he found that a zipper factory called 'Changjiang Industrial' had stolen a lot of Changxing trouser chain business. At the same time, the merchants of the Demon Capital have arrived in Hong Kong, which makes him feel extraordinary.

After all, as far as he knows, there are far more zipper factories in Modu than in Hong Kong, and it is said that there are nearly 1,000 people engaged in the zipper industry in Modu, and the zipper workers in Modu are far more skilled than those in Hong Kong.

"Brother-in-law, I inquired about the news outside!" The brother-in-law Gao Ming said mysteriously.

Fang Hong said impatiently: "If you have nothing to do, stay in the factory, supervise the work of that group of workers, and run around every day!" "If Gao Ming is not his brother-in-law, he will open it early, and he will fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and the boss will see it.

Gao Ming didn't mind at all, but continued: "I heard useful news for my brother-in-law this time!" After speaking, he was not in a hurry to continue.

Fang Hongxin was hooked and said, "Hurry up!" ”

Gao Ming said: "I heard that Changjiang Industry is recruiting a large number of people, what workers, sales, finance, the formation is quite large, it seems that it will be doubled." ”

Fang Hong suddenly became nervous, and immediately said: "Where are there so many skilled zipper workers in Hong Kong, and the market is so big, supporting 200,000 trouser chains a year." Crazy, there is no place to spend money! ”

Gao Ming nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't!" They don't have too many requirements to find workers, and they also want to do it if they haven't done zippers. ”

Fang Hong suddenly couldn't figure out what the hell was Changjiang Industry doing!

I saw him gritting his teeth and said: "I'll go and tell those customers that the zippers we produce have quality assurance after all, and they are all made by skilled workers." No, the price is a little cheaper. You give me to supervise them well in the factory, now it is difficult to make money, and if you produce one or two more sticks per person every day, you can even settle other losses. ”

Gao Ming nodded and said, "Okay brother-in-law, don't worry, I promise to let everyone speed up!" ”

"You're finally a little useful!"

"Hehe, who called me the most trusted person by my brother-in-law!"

Fang Hong patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, although this brother-in-law fished for three days and dried nets for two days, he sometimes sang blackfaces to the workers, and he had to rely on him, which could be said to make the best use of things.

........

In late October, three automatic zipper machines purchased by Lin Zhichao in Germany arrived in Hong Kong, and then engineer Ian also rushed to Hong Kong from Germany to direct Lin Zhichao and others to install the machines. After all, the automatic zipper machine is very large, and it is disassembled and sent to Hong Kong, of course, only for parts that can be easily disassembled.

"Mr. Lin, your factory is really small, but you have great ambition!" Ian said with a smile.

Cheung Kong has a total area of about 3,000 square feet, and this is already the area of a medium-sized factory in Hong Kong, after all, Hong Kong is more of a family workshop and a thousand-foot factory.

Lin Zhichao said indifferently: "Mr. Ian, you must know that these three machines may bring me a fortune of 300,000 US dollars a year, and more importantly, they can make me the overlord of zipper products in Asia." ”

You can be humble, but you can't do business without bragging!

However, Lin Zhichao may not be wrong, if the three automatic zipper machines are started at full power, they can produce about 3 million zippers a year (the length of the crotch of the trousers, day and night), and if he earns three or four cents each, it will be a profit of 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

As for the loss of the automatic zipper machine, Lin Zhichao doesn't care about it at all, as long as the business is done, no matter what machinery and equipment, it will be replaced directly every two or three years. Because the automatic zipper machine is used for a long time, the quality of the zipper is also reduced to a certain extent.

Ian was stunned by Lin Zhichao's 'bragging' and said: "There are no mechanically produced zippers in Asia? ”

Lin Zhichao shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know much about this, but Hong Kong definitely doesn't have it, and the mainland definitely doesn't." ”

He didn't shake it all out, as far as he knew, neither did RB, nor did Southeast Asia, in short, not in Asia.

In this era, the most profitable industries are 'undeveloped virgin land', such as real estate, if he does not take the lead in 'stratification and staging', then he will not make much money at all, unless he buys the bottom as soon as possible after the war.

The 'automatic zipper machine' is an 'untapped virgin territory', because all zipper manufacturing in Asia is handmade, and even the zipper industry of small RB, which was powerful in World War II, is still handmade.

It is precisely because of such an opportunity that Lin Zhichao dares to get involved in this high-tech industry; After all, his current career needs to be 'quick rich', but he doesn't have time for long-term development.

Ian was confident in Lin Zhichao, but he didn't take it to heart, he would only stay in Hong Kong for three or four days, install the machine, and teach him how to operate it again, and then leave.

Day 3.

Workers pour aluminum alloy 'zipper grains (semi-finished products)" into the inlet of the automatic zipper machine, and here the workers feed the fabric into the machine, with the operation of the machine, the zipper grains are neatly arranged on the textile cloth by the automatic zipper machine, and the sound of 'click' symbolizes that the zipper grains are compressed.

As the zipper came out of the machine at a uniform speed, Changjiang Real Estate broke out with an incredible sound.

"Oh my God! This speed is about 50 times or even 100 times that of manual labor! ”

"It must be 100 times the speed, and a machine is not allowed to produce '50 dozen' zippers on this day. I only have 15 pieces a day. ”

The workers exchanged their heads and ears, and their faces revealed shocked expressions. Although they have recently been trained in mechanical theory by their bosses, they still can't help but be shocked when they really see the automatic zipper machine.

At this time, Bao Chunlai showed a bitter expression, he didn't dare to resign now, so he could only be cheeky and continue to work in Changjiang Industrial, and prayed in his heart that the boss would not pursue him.

The reason is very simple, the production speed of these three machines is enough for Hong Kong for a year in one month. Handmade zippers, no one buys them at all.

Looking at the continuous output of zippers, Lin Zhichao couldn't help but be proud, this industry will be the mother of his own industry.

Next, Lin Zhichao and Ian began to guide the workers in production.

Ian still has a day to spare, and Lin Zhichao didn't waste him.

The workers have already understood the production principle of the automatic zipper machine in advance, and they are not very unfamiliar.
