Yi Zhishu knows very well in his heart that the group of skilled workers who come to Guangzhou to pan for gold, no matter what industry they are, cannot be elite talents, even if it is an economic crisis, those elite talents cannot cross the ocean to Guangzhou, and most of these people should be ordinary technicians forced to make a living.

The same is true for mechanics in the shipbuilding industry, Yi Zhishu didn't expect them to have superb shipbuilding technology, let alone expect them to be able to build ironclad ships, but steamships, you can try, even if this group of mechanics has not built them, they have seen it.

Besides, there is such a group of American workers, it is easier for him to spy on the business intelligence of the shipbuilding industry in the United States or Britain and France, after all, they are all Europeans, and they are themselves mechanics in the shipbuilding industry, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the United States is not strong and rich in these years, and the sense of belonging of citizens should not be very strong.

Another point, Qi Changxing's fleet arrived in Guangzhou, I am afraid it will also bring a lot of shipbuilding industry technicians, so many mechanics, he does not build a shipyard, isn't it too wasteful, this is an ocean era, shipyard he will build sooner or later, if you want to build an ironclad ship, he has to lay a good foundation first, even if it is a loss-making business, he has to do it.

After a slight groan, Yi Zhizhi said: "You take them to the vicinity to survey first, to see where the shipyard is suitable to build, remember, the place must be big, in the future, we will build a big ship, six or seven thousand tons of big ships, I don't want to change places in the future." ”

"A big ship of six or seven thousand tons." Wu Changqing said with a smile: "Brother Contentment really dares to think. ”

"I'm not kidding." Yi Zhishu said seriously: "Europe has begun to build ironclad ships, and the ships will be bigger and bigger in the future, and tens of thousands of tons are not uncommon, we have to take a long-term view, leaving enough space for future development." ”

"Contentment brothers think long-term about everything." Wu Changqing said with a smile: "Cheng, listen to the orders of the big shopkeeper." ”

Wu Changqing left. An old man of about sixty greeted him and said, "Little old man Wang Chengyuan has seen the big shopkeeper. ”

"Chief Wang, don't be polite." Yi Zhisuff hurriedly returned the salute and said, "But something?" ”

"Nothing." Wang Chengyuan said: "Little Lao'er just wants to ask, are these Yi people staying temporarily or for a long time?" ”

For this old boy. Yi Zhizu was quite respectful, and immediately said tentatively: "But what's wrong?" ”

"Zhongyi is miscellaneous, and after a long time, I am afraid of accidents." Wang Chengyuan said: "The language and culture, customs and habits, clothing and hairstyles are very different, and it is inconvenient to communicate and misunderstand, and I hope that the big shopkeeper will think twice." ”

"Wang Bao is worried." Yi Zhizhi said with his head in his jaw: "These foreigners are just staying for a while. Don't worry. ”

Hearing him say that he was just staying temporarily, Wang Chengyuan was relieved and arched his hand: "The little old man is bothered." ”

Looking at the back of Wang Chengyuan leaving, Yi Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, although Wang Chengyuan is a scholar, he is not pedantic, nor is he an eventful person, there must be many villagers who have opinions about foreigners living in Changle Village. Asked him to inquire about the situation, but this Western woman hasn't come yet. If there are a few more Western women, swaying around in low-cut dresses, I am afraid that the criticism will be even greater.

It seems that Changle Village is not good, and with the continuous expansion of the factory, there will definitely be more and more foreign workers absorbed. And there will definitely be Western women coming, and they will have to build a special village for these foreign workers nearby.

Thinking all the way, I unconsciously entered the manufacturing factory, asked, and learned that those foreign technicians were in the forging workshop. He rushed over, and as soon as he entered the door of the workshop, he saw that there was a bustle inside, a large group of foreign mechanics were arguing, and a group of craftsmen were watching the excitement.

It's a lot of effort, why did they quarrel? Yi Zhizhi was wondering, Yan Yangtian trotted up to meet him, bowed down and said, "Student Yan Yangtian has seen the principal. ”

Yi Zhizu raised his chin and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the principal." Yan Yangtian said: "Several groups of Yiren craftsmen are arguing about how to install the machine. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yi Zhizhi couldn't help but be happy, this is really different when he has seen a pig run, he smiled and said: "Where did so many foreign technicians come from?" ”

"Back to the principal." Yan Yangtian said: "The steam engine is also here. ”

Yi Zhifu nodded, paced up slowly, Tang Degui and the others saw him coming, hurriedly greeted him, and arched his hand: "Big shopkeeper." ”

A group of craftsmen and volunteer students also hurriedly bowed down, Yi Zhizu waved his hand, glanced at the Zhongyang technicians who were pestled like wooden stakes, and said in English: "Don't fight, speak with action, each design a plan, and the reward adopted is 200 oceans, and I will give you a day." ”

Hearing this, all the foreign mechanics looked at him stunned, were quiet for a while, and one of them said unceremoniously: "Can you tell the quality of the design?" ”

"Presumptuous." Yan Yangtian hurriedly scolded: "This is our Yuanqi big shopkeeper." ”

Yi Zhizu raised his hand, stopped his words, glanced at the foreign technician, and said: "I'm not a chef, I can't cook, but I can judge the quality of a dish, I don't lack steam engines here, parts forging, from rough blank to molding, how many processes do you need?" Can it be fully mechanized? How low does it take to have an IQ to be able to tell the difference between a good and a bad design for such a simple thing? ”

Hearing this, a group of foreign mechanics immediately burst into laughter, Yi Zhizhi pressed his hands a few times, and when everyone quieted down, he smiled and said: "Gentlemen, you are very welcome to come to Guangzhou, and you are welcome to create and witness Guangzhou with us."

I sincerely hope that you will gain great glory and huge money in this industrial miracle.

In the United States, you are only technicians, but in Guangzhou, you are the best industrial technical talents, you have the opportunity to explore your potential, and you have the opportunity to achieve great success! Get a chance to become a millionaire! I promise that you have traveled thousands of miles to come to Guangzhou, which is the most correct and wise decision you have made in your life. ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of foreign mechanics immediately responded with warm applause, and Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "Gentlemen, a reward of two hundred silver dollars is waiting for you. Before he finished speaking, the foreign mechanics had already dispersed.

Yan Yangtian said with envy: "The principal speaks English really fluently. ”

Yi Zhisan said with a smile: "There is no coincidence in learning English, open your mouth more, the arrival of this group of foreign technicians will provide you with a good opportunity, go back and tell you Vice President Luo, arrange for sixty people to come to Changle to practice speaking with these foreign technicians, and at the same time, you must also teach these foreign technicians to speak Chinese." ”

"Yes." Yan Yangtian hurriedly bowed in response.

Tang Degui said with some concern: "Big shopkeeper, these foreign technicians, I'm afraid it's not easy to manage." (To be continued.) )
