Chapter 456 The Chemical Industry on Iris Island
In the evening, Huang Jiang and his party finally arrived at Iris Island.

They saw Iris Island in the distance.

Compared with half a year ago, the biggest change on Iris Island may be the series of large chimneys.Almost all chemical industries in Jialan have set up factories on Iris Island, the most important of which are Jialan Chemical and Jialan Materials, and several other well-known enterprises in the Federation.

However, they were in Gloria Territory, and the land of Iris Island was not as comfortable as they were in other territories of the Federation.Unlike these native blood-drinking capitals, Huangjiang, which has experienced the baptism of modern civilization, has always treated people as human beings.

Treat people as adults.

This seems almost like nonsense, but it is something that most times cannot do.Huang Jiang is well aware of the importance of the chemical industry, but he also knows the dangers of the chemical industry.

Due to the limitations of the times, Huangjiang cannot completely require all companies to comply with and be completely environmentally friendly, but it also allows the factories on Iris Island to reduce direct emissions of pollutants as much as possible.

A series of measures made it impossible for many chemical factories on Iris Island to survive. After all, such conditions, which seemed too harsh in this era, greatly increased the cost of factory production. In addition, Huang Jiang forced them to implement a series of countermeasures. Employee protections, such as accident insurance, protective measures, hazard pay, etc., are not available elsewhere in the federation.

Some factories, accustomed to the all-you-can-eat steamed buns operation, were knocked dizzy by Huangjiang's modern hammer. A large number of small and medium-sized chemical factories closed down one by one. However, many more factories were built than closed down, and most of them were destroyed. It is the factory of Jialan Chemical and Jialan Materials.

They do not rely on eating steamed buns to make money. Although the behavior of squeezing out surplus value exists objectively, it is not as excessive as other factories in the federation. The most important thing is that their boss is Huang Jiang, a man who is like "" in the eyes of all Jialan factory owners. The presence of "Mother's Heart" is rampant.

A federal deacon who graduated from the Deacon Academy naturally became the upper echelon of the federation. He also became the consul of the federation more than a year ago. Such a man who looks like a big shot would actually do everything for a group of people begging for food. To embarrass these factory owners who bring profits is a very strange behavior in the federation.

Originally, this should be a huge shortcoming in their eyes, but it was too strong to withstand the preferential industrial promotion policies implemented by Huangjiang in Jialan Ling.

Nowadays, many factories controlled by individuals have become supporters of the Yellow River. Although this lord is "excessively" friendly to workers and pays no attention to "unnecessary" environmental issues, compared to the federal For other lords, the new consul's importance to the factory was unprecedented.

This is not only low taxes, but also various preferential and promotional policies. Moreover, they are not as greedy as other lords, and they want benefits that they have never done before.

This was a lord that most factory owners had never encountered before.

Unimaginable, incomprehensible.

This is the view of most businessmen on the Huangjiang River.

There is another very important reason why most factories on Yuanluo Island have been able to persist. Because of the protection for workers, many workers are willing to work in harsh environments like chemical plants. In just one year, In less than a short time, a group of literate workers were trained to become workers with a certain degree of proficiency. Production efficiency increased instantly. The most significant improvement was the success rate of the product. The whole furnace was scrapped due to incorrect reaction conditions. became a rare accident.

On the other hand, Jialan Chemicals and Jialan Materials have benefited from the research and development capabilities inherited from Jiagang Laboratories, and have continuously produced brand new products. Some products are impacting the original high-end material market at low prices.

This phenomenon is most noticeable in rubber.Although the birth of artificial rubber, led by Jialan Chemical, immediately impacted the rubber market, which was originally priced at high prices.At the same time, the cost of cars has also been further reduced. Some middle-class people can also buy a suitable car with about ten months' salary. For senior workers in Jialan, this time can even be shortened to Six months.

With the popularity of automobiles, of course, it is the federal infrastructure.So many cars suddenly forced most territories to expand their roads. Because of the previous construction of federal highways, Jialan's construction group became the top road construction team in the federation. Since the beginning of the year, Jialan's construction workers They began to travel around the federation.

The increase in automobile sales made Standard Oil make a lot of money. Rockfield's mood suddenly improved, and he became more generous to Jialan. A large investment directly revitalized Jialan Heavy Industry, which had just started.

Huang Jiang probably believed deeply in the importance of materials. After all, every technological innovation is accompanied by material innovation.However, even though Huangjiang is extremely strict on the environment, the federation still has considerable limitations, and Huangjiang cannot completely avoid chemical pollution.

When you reach Iris Island, Huangjiang smells a faint pungent smell.

Not far away, a tall chimney was slowly releasing white smoke.

Saratoga and Zhizhang welcomed Huang Jiang and his party at the port.

Seeing Huang Jiang and Shengsheng coming off the boat, Saratoga sniffed subconsciously, and then looked at the two of them with burning eyes.

"Is there something on me?" Huang Jiang asked, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"Hmph! You didn't bring your sister with you this time. There must be something wrong with it!" Saratoga said with a snort.

"Your sister is busy with things and can't get away..." Huang Jiang explained.

"It's not like you are too lazy to push everything to the secretary ship." Saratoga still doesn't know why there are so many things to do in Lexington.

Huang Jiang scratched his head helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. After all, my abilities are limited."

Hearing her brother-in-law admit her ability so directly, Saratoga really didn't know what to blame.

Chi Peng on the side smiled and said to the two of them: "Go sit over with us, don't just stand here stupidly."

The group of people, led by Zhi Peng, arrived at the place where they lived.

What is different from other places is that the shipgirls on Iris Island have their own houses. Because Iris Island was at the forefront of fighting against the westerly drift at that time, it was the shipgirls who settled in first, and the government office was established long after that. .

The entire residence was designed by Ship Girls and built by a dedicated construction team.Because the Kanjis on the island at that time were mainly Japanese Kanjis, led by Chizuru, so the houses built naturally had a strong Japanese style.

There is a cherry blossom tree planted not far from the house. The flowering season of cherry blossoms must have passed, but Dafeng still likes to lie there, and she is reading a book there at this time.

The three sisters from York City were sitting on the porch very comfortably.

Yorktown shook her legs in boredom, Bumblebee lowered her head and wiped her B-25, and Enterprise stood over looking at the dock being lowered.

"Commander! Here!" Enterprise saw Huang Jiang.
