Volume 2, Huang Feihong Chapter 20, Wang Yaozu
Because the factory silk produced by the machine sells well and is becoming more and more attractive, many people come to learn from the experience!
This is the case in China, when they see that they have made money, everyone comes up to do it! Because they are all villagers, the owners of the factories do not cherish themselves with brooms, and they all enthusiastically and selflessly introduce and teach those who come to consult and seek advice.
In just three years, four silk reeling factories were built in the vicinity, and eight years later, there are more than 10 silk reeling factories in the vicinity!
The construction of so many machine silk reeling factories has seriously hindered the sales of local silk!
Let these people have nothing to eat!
Because they are unwilling to be robbed of their jobs, everyone naturally resents the machine silk reeling factory!
So they said that men and women working in the same factory are immoral, and the factory chimney is so high that it is immoral!
In addition, because the operation is not familiar, the machine is easy to hurt people, and the manufacturer does not handle these things well! The injured workers are directly fired, so that the contradiction between the factory and the local people is getting bigger and bigger!
One year, due to the failure of the silkworm cocoon, the silk weaving industry was suspended due to the lack of soil silk!
So the loom workers blamed the new silk reeling factories for taking their livelihoods, so they launched a huge campaign to "destroy the silk reeling machines to regain their livelihood"!
In the face of such a thing, in order to settle the dispute, the county magistrate issued a public notice of "prohibiting the production of silk reeling by machines", led the soldiers to seize the machines of the silk reeling factories in the county at that time, and ordered the factory to sign a guarantee of "never reopening").
In the compromise of the county magistrate to the imperial court, he convicted the machine silk reeling industry of several crimes:
First, the machine reeling silk was made without permission, and the case was not filed.
Second, there are more than 400 female workers and more than 100 male workers in the factory.
Third, according to the statistics of the surrounding areas, there are 11 machine factories, with more than 4,400 people, and more than 44,000 people have won the livelihood of more than 44,000 people by comparing them with one enemy and ten people...... It should be stopped forever to calm the people's industry.
With such an example in the past, Lei Weidong must be careful in doing things, and then be careful, not only the products are sold to other places, but also try to pay attention to the employment aspect!
"By the way, after the salary increase!, what is everyone's reaction!" Lei Weidong continued to ask after a few lessons.
"Of course I'm happy, now everyone is very motivated to work, and the output has also increased a lot! Senior brother, should we increase the number of machines now, there are too many people outside who want to work in the factory!
Li Xiaotang proposed.
"I've already asked Ya Cha Su to deliver a message to the foreign bank about the machine, let them prepare in advance, we will expand production and purchase goods soon!" Lei Weidong said with a smile.
"Senior brother, I don't know how many new machines the factory will need, when it will be installed, and how many workers will be recruited!" Li Xiaotang continued to ask.
Because the textile factory has a good salary, high wages, and more importantly, it is necessary to take care of the food immediately, and the atmosphere inside is good, which makes many families who can't live a few days eager to send their girls to work in the factory!
The relationship between people and people has been handed over to Li Xiaotang, which makes Li Xiaotang a headache!
"It's not something you're thinking about!" Lei Weidong said with a straight face.
"Xiaotang, your task is to be responsible for production, improve everyone's level of operation of the machine, can not cause the quality of the product to decline because of the expansion of production, now the equipment has not been purchased, and you will be notified when the purchase is made!"
"Yes! Senior brother taught him the right lesson!" Although he was reprimanded by Lei Weidong, Li Xiaotang was not angry, because he knew Lei Weidong's character, and the leader trained himself to explain that he regarded himself as his own person, and if he made a mistake, the leader did not scold the talent, it was really troublesome!
"And the food in the canteen, you have to remember that the oil and water must be enough, especially for lunch and dinner, there must be one meat and one vegetable, and the staple esophagus is enough!" Lei Weidong pointed to the canteen again.
"What a waste of that! Senior Brother Lei, it's good to be able to eat enough outside, but you still have to eat meat, how expensive is meat!" Li Xiaotang was a little distressed!
"Look at your bear-like!" Lei Weidong was so angry that he was about to kick someone!
"You can't buy fish because the meat is expensive! I don't care how you arrange, each worker has at least half a catty of fish or two taels of pork every day, what do you say the workers eat well, if the workers are happy, work overtime, produce less defective products and more shipments, not to mention that half a catty of fish is a pound of meat are back!"
"Yes! Yes! I understand!" Li Xiaotang nodded and said:
"Senior brother, what if some workers are reluctant to eat and bring food home to their families!"
"No! you can't take it out!" Lei Weidong touched his chin and thought about the actual situation of the workers.
"Lunch and dinner can't be brought home, that's for the workers to add nutrition, breakfast!!Anyway, the workers are not in the mood to stay in the factory after the night shift, so they just let the workers take breakfast home!
Xiaotang, you remember, the breakfast in the factory is fixed, one egg per person, one pound of mixed noodles steamed buns, two taels of pickles, and one porridge! The steamed buns are steamed a little more, if the porridge is not enough, let them take three taels of steamed buns away!
By the way, there is also a supper fixed, a bowl of porridge and two large vegetarian buns per person, which will be delivered to the workers at nine o'clock in the evening! The buns should be as big as Xu Fuji's buns on the street! If you dare to lack two catties, I will beat you to death!"
"Senior brother, I remember!" Li Xiaotang found a pen to write down Lei Weidong's words!
"Adong, Boss Wang of the Provincial City Trading House is here! In the reception room, do you want to see me?"
"Boss Wang of the provincial city trading house, what is he doing here!" asked Lei Weidong.
"It is estimated that it is a matter of goods, now the supply of cloth in the factory is in short supply, and the selling price in the provincial capital is rising, Boss Wang looks red, and it is estimated that he wants to buy a large number of goods and monopolize the market in the provincial capital!"
"However, Boss Wang's strength is strong, and he is the largest cloth trader in the provincial capital!"
"In that case, let's meet him!" Lei Weidong nodded.
"The output of our factory is getting bigger and bigger, and in the future, we will face traders and dyeing factories, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for small traders and hawkers to deal with each other!"
------
"It's really unbelievable! The sea water is incomprehensible! Mr. Lei is really a hero and a teenager to set up such a big factory at such a young age!" Wang Yaozu, who was already waiting impatiently in the conference room, watched Lei Weidong come in and hurriedly got up to say hello!
Although the textile factory is under the name of Huang Feihong, everyone knows that Huang Feihong is a hands-off shopkeeper, and Lei Weidong is responsible for all the big and small things in the factory, and his words are more effective than Huang Feihong's ten sentences!
"Where! Boss Wang is polite!Please take a seat!" Lei Weidong smiled and asked Wang Yaozu to sit down!
"Boss Wang, I just want to ask you one thing, what do you think of my cloth!" Lei Weidong said with a smile.
"Hey, do you need to say that!" Wang Yaozu smiled bitterly:
"Mr. Lei, you don't know the difficulties of our line of trade if you don't do trade, it's better in some remote places, this provincial city can be said that the local cloth has long had no room for survival!
The quality of those foreign fabrics is good, and the price is cheap, how do you say that this makes the homespun cloth sold!
Originally, I was still wondering, why the price of foreign cloth drifting across the sea to us is cheaper than that of local cloth! Now I understand that the cloth produced by the machine is a big price advantage as soon as the cloth of your factory is listed!
That's why I'm here this time to get the distribution rights in the provincial capital!"
"Boss Wang!" Lei Weidong shook his head and said:
"You know how big the sales are in the provincial capital, because of the best-selling foreign cloth, it can be said that the whole province and even Heng, Yang, Jiangxi, and the cloth merchants over there have gone to the provincial capital to get the goods, and you will win the distribution rights of the provincial capital at once, if I don't give it to you, I don't know how many people I want to offend!"
"Mr. Lei, of course I know, if you are embarrassed, I don't want agency, I will come this time like a lot of cloth!"
"No more than 60,000 horses! If not, 40,000 horses will do!" Wang Yaozu originally said 60,000 horses, but when he saw Lei Weidong's eyes change, he immediately changed his words and reduced some of them!
"Mr. Lei, you see it's almost time for dinner, I set up a banquet in Juxian Building, and I specially invited a few of you senior brothers once!"
"Boss Wang, you are too polite, I should invite you when you come to Foshan, how can I let you break the bank!" Lei Weidong refused.
"Everyone is a friend, and whoever treats is not the same!" Wang Yaozu said with a smile, and he dragged Lei Weidong and others to the banquet!
Seeing that Wang Yaozu was really enthusiastic, Lei Weidong couldn't shirk it, so he took Ya Cha Su and others to Juxian Building!
