On Saturday morning, Yang Rui was at the stall of the instrument hall to supervise the wireless telegraphy, and Zheng Weigang sent someone to deliver the bill of lading, saying that the equipment had arrived and was at the dock, so let this side pick up the goods. As soon as the news came, other things could only be put down first, and hurriedly went out to the dock, before going out, let Zhong Guanguan arrange people and contact the ship in place, the equipment was still transported to the 6th line, and hurriedly arrived at the dock to see the people of Chanchen Foreign Company, saying that the equipment was still on the ship - before Yang Rui asked the equipment not to unload the ship after the equipment arrived, I saw a big ship with a high chimney parked a few meters away from the trestle, probably because the boat draft was too deep to dock and could only be shortened by a small boat, Yang Rui and the people of the foreign bank found a small boat and got on the freighter, I found my own goods in the cargo hold of the freighter, a pile of wooden frames containing unknown equipment, and the two large cans were also thatched with the protrusions, and a large wooden frame was made outside.

Yang Rui took the goods list to check whether the goods were missing, and saw whether the packaging of the goods was in good condition. Now he was worried about how to carry these things ashore, he walked to the entrance of the warehouse, lit a cigarette and waited for Zhong Guanguan's people to come, before the cigarette was finished, Zhong Guanguan brought people over, followed by a group of dock coolies, and the leaders were very capable. Half a day later, the two reaction tanks were rolled to the hatch with rolling logs, and then hoisted onto the deck one by one, and a small boat was parked next to the freighter, and the previous equipment was loaded, and it was a little difficult for the turn of the two big guys, the hatch was too small, and it took half an hour to send the things to the cargo hold of the small ship.

The boat reached the 6th line, and stopped at the newly built dock, the factory was almost finished, and now they were building houses, canteens, toilets, and other things, and there were fences and roads. I saw that Yu Huizu had brought a group of people who were already waiting, and when he saw Yang Rui with a smile on his face, he said through the water: "It's done, I didn't expect things to arrive so soon, but today the dragon raised his head, a good omen." "Yu Huizu is still very confident in feng shui and the like, and within a few days of coming to Shanghai, he invited two feng shui gentlemen to go to 6 lines to see, and after seeing it, Mr. Feng Shui said that this place is good, the location is good, and Yi Shengcai, and then he has been happy for several days.

Yang Rui is also happy, it is now February 28th, a week of installation, a week of commissioning, then by the middle of next month can be officially put into production, next week the newspaper will start early publicity, and the product will be launched in the middle of the month. Now the medium is the newspaper, and it doesn't cost a few dollars at all, the only thing is that large-scale tastings and trials cost some silver, but it is only a few tons, more than 10,000 yuan, which is definitely less for the profit later.

There is also a small boom on the boat, looking at this thin boom Yang Rui is very worried that it will break if it is hung and hanged, the boat owner repeatedly asked the weight of the reaction tank to indicate that it can be lifted, only to see that the boom was placed in the hatch position, put down the sling, and shouted after a while after the lower tie was tethered, the upper one made a gesture and the sling rope pulled up, Yang Rui was far away, but he could still hear the squeak of the rope and the boom, and was worried that the reaction tank would fall, the tank showed its head and was pulled onto the deck, Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief at this time, It seems that moving ashore is no problem.

With the help of the boom, the things on the boat were quickly moved ashore, and at night, the rolling wood also got the reaction tank into the warehouse, everyone was tired and exhausted, Yang Rui, Yu Huizu and Zhong Guanguan also shouted hoarsely, in fact, whether they shouted or not had no impact on the work, but the excitement of imagining that it was about to be realized made them can't help but yell. When the workers who called for it left, Zhong Guanguan gave Yang Rui an extra two yuan under his orders, and asked them to come over another twenty people to help install the machine on the morning of the next Monday - the engineers of Chanchen are on vacation tomorrow and will not go to work until Monday.

After the workers left, only a few of them were left in the factory to look at these machines that came from thousands of miles to fill half of the workshop, Yu Huizu said: "Actually, seeing these machines, I have to admire the power of those foreigners, these things are pretended to be money." ā€

Zhong Guanguan was dissatisfied with Yu Huizu's statement, and retorted: "No matter how powerful the foreigner's machine is, he can't make money without the skill of becoming a brother, does Brother Hanzhang already smell the smell of silver?" ā€

Yu Huizu smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I, I can't say you, I just want how foreigners can make so many things, aren't these just some piles of iron, these more than sixty things add up to 10,000 catties, and now they will charge us 10,000 yuan, and they will sell us a pound of iron, a pound of iron, a pound of iron, isn't this business a big profit, not worse than our MSG business." ā€

Yang Rui nodded, what Yu Huizu said was reasonable, this is like the later generation of little Japan importing scrap steel from the United States, causing the car to be sent back to the United States to sell for a lot of money, this business is not too good. said: "Next time we order the equipment, it may not be from his house, I have asked Zixun to see if there are other countries that can make this kind of reaction tank at the exhibition, if there is, write it down, and the equipment of matches and cigarettes will also let him pay attention to it, and try to get more information back." ā€

Yu Huizu and Yang Rui have been getting along for a long time and know that he is a person with a plan, although the factory has not yet opened, but what he thinks about is not today but next year and the year after tomorrow, the difficulty is not just thinking about it, this MSG thing is arranged very smoothly, seeing Yang Rui mention matches and cigarettes, he asked: "Is it all out of the attic now?" ā€

Yang Rui nodded and said, "Soon, let's prepare, take our time and don't worry, I believe that it won't be long before we can do the business of one dollar and one pound of iron." ā€

Yu Huizu saw that Yang Rui didn't seem to be joking, and when he heard it, he felt very panicked, and hurriedly said: "It's done, it's not a good thing to do a big business, when the foreigners and the court are watching, where will the money go?" ā€

Yang Rui and Zhong Guanguan looked at each other and laughed when they saw that he looked afraid of a lot of money, Zhong Guanguan smiled while reaching out to support his shoulder: "Brother Hanzhang, you have a lot of money, wouldn't it be good to give it all to me, I'm not afraid of a lot of money." ā€

Yu Huizu knocked off his hand and reprimanded: "Last time, we could earn a lot of money with the MSG we counted, plus matches and cigarettes, and even said that we would do iron business, so we must have more money than the imperial court. ā€

Yang Rui knew the truth of what Yu Huizu said, and it was really possible when that day came, but it was not without a way to crack it, and comforted him: "Brother Hanzhang, don't worry, we can give some foreigners a small number of shares, and we won't dare to say anything if we bring them into the imperial court, and then we can go to the foreigners to register a company, and then pretend to buy some shares in the current factory to that company, then this factory is a foreigner, as for your own safety, I think you can help you get a foreign nationality when you make money?" At that time, you will be from the country of foreigners, so you can rest assured, right? ā€

Yu Huizu heard Yang Rui say so many ways, but he didn't like it very much, shook his head and said: "I don't want to be unable to enter the ancestral hall after death, just be a fake foreigner, as for buying shares to foreigners and engaging in foreign companies, these are cheap foreigners, they bully us so ruthlessly, I don't want to give them money." I still couldn't figure it out when I bought the land, but you said that if the factory was in the American concession, then it would have to pay taxes to foreigners, so I have nothing to say about it. Hey, it's done, our Qing Kingdom ......"

Yang Rui saw that he sighed and couldn't say anything, so he could only pat him on the back, thinking that it was really not easy in China, a factory was all around, but fortunately, it was located here, and it would be difficult to move it if it was placed in the concession.

On Sunday, when Yang Rui had lunch with the students, there were more people now, and he couldn't sit down at three tables for lunch dinner, so he simply opened four tables, and so he sat down just right, the number of people was twice as many as last semester, and there was a trend of increase, and now everyone in the school knows that Yang Rui is in the residence to open a small stove for the students, one is to give some lectures, and the other is to eat in the restaurant at noon and night, seeing that the house is full of people, Yang Rui found Mrs. Huang at night, and asked her to see if there is only a house in this alley, and he plans to rent a yard, Upstairs is used as a real yĆ n room, downstairs on the students to give lectures, on Sundays will temporarily invite a few chefs to cook by themselves, the dishes must be no worse than this, but the money is a lot less, as for the pavilion where I live now, I am not busy retreating.

Saying that Master Deng took a letter over, I thought it was from the newspaper, but when I opened it, it was Mr. Xie from the Press, saying that the Japanese side agreed to buy the copyright after consideration, and asked Mr. Yang to go to the Press to sign a contract two days after tomorrow, Yang Rui sighed when he saw the letter, and thought that Nanyang College had already opened, but there was no news to let him go to class, it seemed that there was no play.

On Monday morning, Yang Rui went to the printing house to sign a contract, the six books were a total of 30,000 yen, and Mr. Xie paid a silver round scroll, which was only more than 29,300 yuan according to the exchange rate. At that time, the bank counted 29,000 dollars as pounds sterling - in this era when the price of silver fell sharply, it was more reliable to count the pound sterling and the dollar, but the bank of America was never found, so it had to be counted in pounds, and 25,000 yuan was exchanged for more than 2,800 pounds.

After these things are done, it is already ten o'clock when the boat is taken to 6 lines, the people of Zenchen have come early, and Zhong Guanguan is also helping on the side, although the Germans have been in China for a long time, although the language barrier, but there is still a very good way to communicate, and they can lead the workers to work without translation, and many of the machines have moved to the installation position, but the packaging has not been removed, the shelves of the lifting reaction tank of the tree yesterday have also been set up, the packaging workshop is training workers, and a group of packers are busy working at the table, taking salt to practice there; The workers who set up the scaffolding outside the factory are finishing the finishing touches; Yang Rui has turned around inside and out, and now he is all in order, so he is relieved.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Yang Rui gathered everyone for a meeting, didn't say any nonsense, first named everyone to get to know each other, and then let the account room read through some of the factory's systems and other things, there are a lot of rules, not used to it for so long and slowly get used to it, and then the head of each section to repeat the work content he is responsible for, and then let the accounts go through the process to know how the previous forms are used - in the era of computers, forms are still in use, in this era without forms, Forms are extremely important, in addition to technology, the most important thing in the factory is statistics, and numbers are the basis of factory management.

On Friday, the equipment has been installed, the two large tanks have been installed in place, the pipeline has been connected, including some auxiliary facilities for feeding are also in place, in the afternoon with the assistance of the Germans, all the machines have been opened, the mixer in the reaction tank has also been opened, the equipment of the whole process is very normal, that is, the chimney of the boiler is too short, sometimes the north wind blows the smoke is always blown into the workshop, but fortunately it is only scraped in the reaction workshop, There is nothing to do in the packaging workshop because the roof is relatively low, seeing that it is normal, Yang Rui found a translator and asked the Germans to talk about the precautions for a piece of equipment, daily maintenance, troubleshooting, etc., so that the account room will write these down with a notebook, and turn around and hand them over to the person responsible for maintaining the equipment - that is, a student in the physical and chemical workshop, Yang Rui saw that he liked to find things, and he was very meticulous in doing things, so he was responsible for the maintenance of the equipment first, and this batch of students from the physical and chemical workshop were basically recruited into the factory. And the treatment is not bad, the starting salary is eight yuan a month, so that the physics and chemistry training institute recruited more than 100 people to sign up, and had to take an exam.
