The output of Tianbao watch factory can easily exceed 10,000 a year! Wu Changqing and Jiang Shentong were a little unconvinced, what kind of steam engine, mechanized operation, can increase output so dramatically? However, although the two had some doubts, they were also full of expectations!

In the past, all the watch workshops in Guangzhou could not produce 300 pocket watches a year, but now Tianbao Watch Factory can produce 600 pieces a month, which is mainly due to the standardization and flow division of labor proposed by Yi Zhicontent, and now he has proposed mechanized operations, how can people not look forward to it?

After calming down a little, Jiang Shentong spoke: "Since the big shopkeeper has already set the price in his heart, why is he reluctant to sell it to the outside world?" ”

Taking a puff of his cigar, Yi Zhizhi said slowly: "The inventory is too small, only a thousand pocket watches, not enough to monopolize the market, once Tianbao watch is launched, it must seize and monopolize the entire domestic market, and all domestic watch workshops must be forced to close, so that it is conducive to Tianbao to launch high-end pocket watches."

The foreign market is slightly different, Europe, England, Switzerland, France and other countries are all big countries in the production of clocks, we can imitate Western watches, Western watchmakers will not imitate our Tianbao watches? As long as a few Tianbao watches are disassembled and studied, they will understand the mystery, so we must prepare enough inventory, and take advantage of their imitation to seize the entire market in one fell swoop, and play the Tianbao brand. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Don't worry, in another half a month, a large number of steam engines will arrive in Guangzhou, and the mechanized operation will be implemented first, and at the same time." Development of a mid-range watch. To be the technology mature. Production was significantly increased, and sales were re-launched.

The domestic market should be delayed until the end of this year's sea trade season at the earliest, and then start selling, so as to win a year for Tianbao to seize the foreign market. ”

Jiang Shentong didn't expect his ambition to be so big, and he thought about it so long-term and carefully, and he was excited and ashamed in his heart. Immediately got up and arched his hand: "I'm really ashamed to be short-sighted." ”

"Director Jiang is just a big heart, how big the heart, how wide the horizon is, Tianbao watch factory is the first in the world to adopt mechanization, standardization, flow division of labor operations, you should have the corresponding ambitions." Yi Zhizu stood up as he said and said, "During this time, when I am busy with the Shunde Machine Silk Reeling Factory, I will focus on the improvement of Tianbao's mechanization, and you go back and prepare." ”

"Yes." Jiang Shentong nodded in agreement. Then he saluted and took his leave.

After Jiang Shentong left, Wu Changqing smiled and said, "I really believe it now." Investing in Tianbao is the most cost-effective investment for the benefit of future generations. ”

Yi Zhizu lit him with a cigar and said, "Sprinkle salt on my wound again, I will tell Old Man Wu Ming'er, let him take back the 10% share, and see what you do." ”

"Well, let's have fun with ourselves." Wu Changqing poured himself a cup of tea as he spoke, changed his words, and said, "When will the Shunde Silk Reeling Factory be able to start?" ”

"It should be just a few days." Yi Zhizhi said: "Changqing also wants to join in the fun? ”

"How can you not go to such a novelty?" Wu Changqing said with a smile: "I came here today to say hello to you, so that you don't sneak away, not only I want to go, but a few businessmen also want to follow to see the excitement." ”

Yi Zhizhi nodded, a group of merchants want to see if the effect of machine silk reeling is as good as they say, Donghuang Silk Industry Co., Ltd. implements the four-three-three system, Yuanqi accounts for forty percent of the shares, Shunde silk merchants and thirteen lines each account for three percent, now it is only a verbal agreement, if the effect is not good, the merchants are afraid that they will retreat.

He is not afraid of someone in the thirteenth line who retreats, but hopes that someone will not recognize the shares, the shares of Donghuang Silk Industry Co., Ltd., which is a real profit, he doesn't mind buying a few more shares, and after a little pause, he said: "That Changqing informed them that they would leave for Shunde early the day after tomorrow." ”

Shunde, Longjiang Town.

It has not yet reached the peak period of the spring silk market, Longjiang Town has gathered a lot of local and foreign silk merchants, all heard that Longjiang is going to build a machine silk reeling factory, rushed to see the excitement and look strange, with the steam engine and the silk reeling machine arrived in Longjiang, more and more people rushed to come, and the big silk merchants in Shunde County almost rushed over.

As a landlord, He Shutai is busy these days, not only to entertain a group of silk merchants but also to always pay attention to the progress of the construction of the chimney, seeing that the peak period of the spring silk market is coming, he is also anxious, now that the machine has arrived, he is naturally eager to start work as soon as possible to catch up with the peak of the raw silk trade.

Fortunately, he was well prepared, all the materials and craftsmen for the construction of the chimney were sufficient, and the construction of the chimney was very fast, one day at a time, on the day the chimney was completed, Yi Zhishu arrived in Longjiang with a group of thirteen children.

Early the next morning, Yi Zhifu and his entourage went to the Longjiang Machine Silk Reeling Factory set up two miles away from the north of Longjiang Town, the factory occupies a large area, a circle of more than one zhang high wall will enclose the whole factory tightly, enter the gate, you will see that the inside is busy, several foreigners are directing a group of workers to pull and install the steam engine.

Seeing Yi Zhi's contentment and his entourage coming in, Yan Yangtian, who was temporarily transferred from Yixue to act as a translator, hurriedly trotted over, bowed down and said, "Student Yan Yangtian has seen the principal. ”

Seeing him, Yi Zhizhi smiled and said, "Can you still do it?" ”

Yan Yangtian said a little embarrassedly: "Back to the principal, I can barely deal with the daily language." ”

"You can't understand the jargon, do you?" Yi Zhisuff said with a smile: "I can't use professional terminology either, communicate with them more, learn more and speak more, be accurate, we urgently need translation in this area now." Saying that, he looked at Wu Changqing and said, "Let's try it together?" ”

Yi Zhishu and Wu Changqing's English level is naturally not comparable to a few students of Yixue, and with the addition of two people, the speed of installation is obviously much faster.

In addition to the steam engine, there are 20 silk reeling machines, one by one installation and commissioning, full of three days of busy work, to the fourth day, Longjiang machine silk reeling factory began trial production.

"Woo-" A sudden loud whistle startled everyone, and the group of mulberry farmers who gathered outside the factory to watch the excitement were unprepared, and they were all taken aback, and many of them were frightened and pale, and the timid ones ran away.

Everyone in the factory was not much better, and they were all frightened and pale, but the sound was too loud, too shocking, and unexpected, and no one expected that the machine would make such a loud noise when it was started.

Yi Zhizhi is smiling, although it is the first time to hear the real whistle, but there is a long-lost familiar feeling, he is slightly excited in his heart, the industrial revolution of the Qing Dynasty will be kicked off by him. (To be continued.) )
