Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 315 Selling Products

The New Year in Ice City is getting more and more lively every year. After all, the workers have money in their hands, and small vendors in Bingcheng and even Hei Province have started to gather in Bingcheng, which has enriched the flavor of the New Year a lot.

In 1909, the first month of the year of the rooster was spent lively with the sound of firecrackers saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the screams of dwarves with rotten buttocks, and the cries of hawkers in the ice city.

But if you want to say the happiest thing about this first month, it is that Zhu Chuanwen found that his shopkeeper started to make demands on him.

The thing is like this, Zhu Chuanwen's annual New Year's greeting with tiger penis wine is becoming more and more sought after by all the shopkeepers.

It is also a man's pain, and the shopkeepers under him are beginning to enter middle age, and this hidden pain is becoming more and more obvious. What's more, they have begun to secretly explore the secret recipes collected by their employers.

Zhu Chuanwen is not a stingy person either. The secret recipe of Tiger Whip Wine was also revealed for the first time. It is said that this stuff came out of the palace and was collected by Lao Zhu when Zhu Kaishan led the boxers to Beijing. Shang Laozhu was also useless at that time, so he put it on hold.In a flash, I arrived at Bingcheng, because of the tiger-fighting action of the Little Tigers.

The old Zhu suddenly thought of this matter on a whim, and handed it over to Zhu Chuanwen's office. He called a few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Bingcheng, and after some research, the efficacy of the prepared tiger penis wine became more and more effective after several years of improvement. obvious.

All the shopkeepers are the beneficiary group, and two other people secretly begged Zhu Chuanwen, so the names of Gu Ansheng and Qu Zhenggan are not mentioned here.

But when the two saw a series of precious medicinal materials and frying techniques, they cried and complained, and the tiger penis wine became a special offering for the shopkeeper of Bingcheng, and began to be routinely prepared by a few Chinese medicine practitioners from Hanyao on duty. All shopkeepers provide quantitatively.

As for Zhu Chuanwen, after several conversations with the old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine told him that young people drink a small amount every week, and it has the effect of strengthening the foundation and strengthening the vitality.This news made him prepare early, let's train!
It is better to have a solid accumulation than a group of shopkeepers to sharpen their guns in front of the battle, and get immediate results.

In fact, there is another reason why her eyebrows are burning. Xian'er has been watching Zhu Chuanwen getting more and more nervous recently, and she doesn't know who came up with such a bad idea. She is like a sponge, trying to squeeze every drop from him, even a 20-year-old young man can't bear it what……

To put it bluntly, the cattle were exhausted.

So with the combination of the two, the matter of the tiger whip wine was settled in this way, and it was paid directly from Xia Yuanzhang, which could be regarded as the good news for all the men.For the shopkeepers' request, in Zhu Chuanwen's view, it is also an important step towards a better life - harmony between husband and wife.

After the first lunar month, the situation of the picket team has also changed, and it can be regarded as a change that has to be made. Andre, who is now on his honeymoon again, agrees. Zhu Chuanwen proposes that Berg, the chairman of the public council, approves that Hanyao was originally an ice city. The three donated prisons were directly under the jurisdiction of the picket team, and the number of picket teams of more than 700 people was doubled again, directly supplemented by the trade union, and a small number of hunters were also mixed in.

I mixed myself in, and this method was also a preparation for hunters to carry out operations in the ice city without leaving a trace.

Throughout the first month, the people of Bingcheng were really lively. There were not a few people who got drunk and made trouble on the street. At the same time, the gambling houses that had been swept away rose again, becoming more and more secretive. In this way, a 24-hour on-duty system was also banned. Zhu Chunshan made it out. Each shift lasted 12 hours. The two teams took turns to monitor the security of Bingcheng.

It's not for anything else, it's because when Zhu Chuanwen communicated with Tan Yongqing, the head of the doll, he knew a few gray areas where the mixed-living areas were only open late at night.

Back to now, until the end of February.

Zhu Chuanwen appeared on a construction site in the Hanyao Family Hospital overlooking Binjiang City wearing a safety helmet. The helmet is made of bamboo. This thing has been popularized in the Hanyao Family Hospital construction team and factory construction team since the construction of the railway.

Behind Zhu Chuanwen are the Zhou brothers, the two helmsmen of Hanyao No. [-] Ironware Factory.

The weather is still cold, but the construction team and the workers who move the equipment are still working hard.

"Zhou Gui, when will this bicycle factory start production?"

Before, Hanyao had a plan to build a bicycle factory, and allocated funds, but the scale is constantly increasing...

Zhou Gui took out his hand wrapped in the fox fur sleeve, took a step forward, and pointed to the area where the equipment was being transported, "Master, the construction of the bicycle factory. When shopkeeper Chu left, our two factories had already started to discuss. At present, the construction on the open space on the left side of the family courtyard has been basically completed, and the workers are organizing the installation and commissioning of the last few pieces of equipment, and the A-brand factory can officially start production tomorrow.” Zhou Gui said.

"What about the output of this production line?"

"According to the estimates of the researchers of the Institute of Ironware, the annual output of this first production line is about 2 bicycles." Zhou Gui's brother Zhou Fu said to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Not bad!" Zhu Chuanwen nodded secretly, looking back from the construction of the brand-new factory building. The configuration of the Zhou brothers is really a destiny. The elder brother Zhou Fu is in charge of technology. In the past few years, he has learned a lot from Chu Keqiu Less things, I also started to work as a researcher at the Institute of Ironware. A group of senior craftsmen gather together every day, and they can always collide with different sparks.

The technical upgrading and imitation of the first and second ironware factories are all from the research institute. Although the ironware research institute was completed in a short period of time, the accumulation from the beginning has allowed the institute's technology to continue to be improved and accumulated. The studious senior craftsmen have already begun to study and translate foreign books bought back from Shanghai to supplement their technical foundation.

As for his younger brother, Zhou Gui, he is responsible for the management and organization of production. He likes to communicate with the shopkeepers of Gu Ansheng and other commercial firms. While broadening his horizons, he manages the First Iron Ware Factory in an orderly manner.

This is a tacit understanding between the two brothers, so that Ironware No. [-] Factory, which is on the way to cultivate Hanyao skilled workers, continues to advance steadily. Even this time, Zhu Chuanwen's large-scale expansion did not cause Ironware No. [-] Factory the trouble of declining quality.

"The chains and bearings can also be mass-produced?" The difficulty of the whole bicycle is here. Zhu Chuanwen asked emphatically. The original Martin furnace with a daily output of 20 tons of steel is now completely allocated by Ironware No. [-] Factory. Bicycles are based on this kind of steel. Production is going on.

"I can do it, the workers' night school is very effective. With your reward, the senior craftsmen of the Second Ironware Factory and the Gun Factory are willing to teach some crafts, so now the cycle of training these craftsmen is much faster than before. The proportion of junior and intermediate craftsmen in the first factory is also steadily increasing." Zhou Fu went on to say that he was responsible for this part.

"That's good!" Zhu Chuanwen nodded with satisfaction again. The construction of the school really provided a good platform for Hanyao, and the night school training every night also solved the problem that Hanyao's junior and intermediate craftsmen accounted for insufficient proportion. However, some tricks have to be summarized and taught by these masters.

The night school has been open for half a year, and the time from apprentice to junior craftsman of Hanyao workers has been shortened, and the time from beginner to intermediate is much faster than before.

"Also, Qiao Hongguo from my side has told me a lot of hardships, saying that the output of bicycles is so small every month, but now there are many workers who are looking for contacts to buy bicycle tickets. This is not a good phenomenon. But this matter has to be solved from the root, which is to increase the output of bicycles.” Zhu Chuanwen told the two of his thoughts that the bicycle factory would be a branch of the No. [-] Ironware Factory in the future. It was divided and a new factory area was built.

"I know the owner. From next month, I guarantee that at least 1500 bicycles will roll off the production line every month." Zhou Gui, as the factory manager, did not dare to talk too much when the factory was first established. The production capacity needs to be familiar to the workers. Then fill up slowly. "but……"

"Speak directly if you have something to say." Zhu Chuanwen said seeing him hesitating to speak.

"Boss, the second ironware factory is still making production lines for us. According to your requirements, the factory will also be equipped with 4 bicycle production lines in the future. Isn't the annual output of 10 a bit too much? Every time I think about it now In the future, the factory can accommodate more than 2000 people, and I always feel a little worried." Zhou Gui has experienced business failures, and the work he has done in the past few years has been able to order orders, and he is very confident in his heart, but this time , My boss suddenly asked for such a high output, and I felt a little guilty.It was also out of kindness to remind my boss.

"No, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and San Francisco have started pilot sales of bicycles, and everyone who participated said this!" Zhu Chuanwen gave them a thumbs-up.

In fact, in Hanyao’s plan at the very beginning, the construction of the bicycle factory was a production line, and the annual production of [-] bicycles could consume part of the steel of the old models. But now, the experimental sales of several pilot projects have shown unprecedented success. .

Historically, the market in Shanhaiguan has a huge demand for bicycles. These days, if you have money, you may not be able to buy some industrial products. Under the relationship of demand exceeding supply, Zhu Chuanwen’s sales in this market Very confident.

The second is Japan, which is mountainous. Although the construction of train tracks has made rapid progress in these years, ordinary people still need a cheap means of transportation. British bicycles are sold well in Japan, and Japan also has its own Bicycle manufacturer in China, but Hanyao has a sharp weapon, and that is the cooperative relationship with Yasuda.Because of MSG, Yasuda's sales channels have directly sunk to the Japanese county-level grocery stores. Relying on this channel, it is not a problem to sell bicycles.

Of course, for Japan, Zhu Chuanwen still intends to set a higher price and sell a little less. He doesn't like this place very much.It is just the area used by Hanyao to cut leeks.

In the end, it was Zhu Chuanjie's letter that determined Zhu Chuanwen's determination to go directly to the four production lines.

Hanyao's US branch is about to open, but there is no product that can be sold yet. Before that, it was also an experiment to bring 100 bicycles to San Francisco. The sales of this batch of bicycles surprised Zhu Chuanwen.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that although there are trams in the United States today, they are only limited to cities.The rural areas around the city basically rely on horseback riding. Although Ford, Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac have appeared in terms of cars, for the middle- and lower-income groups, two-person cars are relatively expensive. Compared with Hanyao bicycles, bicycles seem to be cheaper. Many experienced Latinos, blacks, and even whites are very optimistic about Hanyao bicycles.

In this way, Hanyao is one step ahead of the bicycle industry, which is not valued in the UK, and intends to dump 10 bicycles per year to these three regions.

Hearing Zhu Chuanwen's sales, Zhou Gui also felt relieved, and his boss was still making a decision as always before moving: "Then there is no problem, the Second Iron Ware Factory is currently in full production under the coordination of Shopkeeper Qu, and it is expected to be completed by the end of June. fully assembled."

"Okay, let's produce as soon as possible. At the same time, we can't relax the supervision of product quality this time. How is the assembly line production I mentioned last time? There is also the matter of unified standards. Zhou Fu, your iron research institute should study it carefully. Unified standards This matter plays a vital role in the iron production of the bicycle factory and even Hanyao as a whole."

"Boss, we also discovered this problem. As for the assembly line production, the bicycle production line started its initial application. At that time, the standard was unified, and the researchers of the research institute were still arguing. There are many standards now, and some tout the German standard. , British standard, Russian system, and American system are all around, I am afraid that the final matter will have to be decided by you, the owner." Zhou Fu said, this matter has been debated for some time.

"In this way, you call the people from the Institute of Firearms and the Institute of Chemistry together. This standard is determined by Hanyao. After you meet it a few times, report to me. I will make the final decision." Zhu Chuanwen said .

The industry in the late Qing Dynasty was uniformly made by all countries. It was trained by Germans, British, and Americans in turn, and now it is added to the Russian environment in Ice City. After coordination, such problems will appear, which will greatly affect the efficiency.

With Zhu Chuanwen handing over the bamboo helmet to Zhou Gui, this on-site inspection is considered complete.

On the carriage back, Zhu Chuanwen thought about the current funds of the chamber of commerce. The No. 5 Ironware Factory rushed to work, and the five flour mill facilities delivered to Huizhou merchants were all loaded, and the 20 silver dollars returned were all invested in the account of the chamber of commerce The rubber stock market was also decided after receiving Zhu Chuanjie's letter.
