November 1649 was the peak of commercial activity in Taiwan.

Many maritime merchants throughout Southeast Asia and East Asia have heard the news of Taiwan's bumper sugarcane harvest...... And I also know that the sugar business there is no longer an exclusive monopoly by Tammaofan, and everyone can participate.

They flocked to Taiwan...... For a time, the hotel was full of merchants, and the administrative hall of the customs building was crowded all day long......

The Geranza City Hotel and the Geranza Customs were almost completed one after the other. When they were officially launched, it was just in time for this business trend.

These two buildings, one is three-storey and the other is four-storey -- the reason why the Taiwan Customs Building was able to reach the fourth floor was because it used reinforced concrete technology when building it -- in order to test the safety of this building, the construction company of the Hantang Group did not hesitate to use the modern testing equipment it had brought with it -- there was no way, the four-story building was said to be called the Gerancha Customs Building, but other departments were crammed into it -- the customs unit could not use these offices at all.

The main body of the Taiwan Customs Building is 14 meters high, and the single bell tower in the center of the building is 22 meters high -- because the parts and components required for the customs bell are directly classified as five categories of products by the Hongxing Industrial Zone -- they are not as important as ordinary cast iron pipes, so they can only be blocked by wooden planks to block the four round windows on the single bell tower, which looks quite strange from a distance -- I can't understand what the purpose is.

But fortunately, everyone who looks at this building will be attracted by the red double dragon flag fluttering on the bell tower - what a big flag, really red...... It was bigger than the banner on the great city of Geranza. Of course, it's big, and the flag is six squares.

On the first floor of the Geranza Customs Building is the Customs Office Hall.

There were 300 square meters - all of which were covered with green marble stone. The pale green floor is as smooth as a mirror, with white walls, and bright large-scale glass windows, but there are more transverse partitions on the windows, which is because the size of the glass is smaller...... The small pieces of flat glass were blown and processed by Ming apprentices.

The director of the bag glass factory, Mr. Moeser, said that the most important characteristic of the Ming apprentices in their glass factory was obedience...... Besides, using glass to practice technology is the lowest cost...... If it's broken, just re-boil. However, if you want large-scale and large-scale flat glass products, it is the right way to process them by float production...... It should be fine next year.

Taiwan has the most abundant marble resources, and these stones are transported from the northern region of Taiwan.

As mentioned earlier, the Dutch stonemasons are good at their craft. It is said that a marble factory is now being built in Kelowna, and the relevant equipment has been ordered from the Red Star Industrial Zone...... It's just that it is ranked in four categories of products, and it can only wait for the time being, so the current production of marble stone is limited.

As a result, this customs administration hall is also the only place in the entire building where marble is paved.

This makes it impossible to say that the office building exactly resembles the county office buildings of the sixties and seventies - the rest of the rooms are not worth a special introduction at all.

A considerable number of people in the Hantang Group are dissatisfied with this building, thinking that there is no domineering appearance in the Hantang Group. Whenever someone criticized the rustic atmosphere of the building on the Internet, manager Wang Siping calmly explained that at that time, time was tight and materials were scarce - so cost performance was the first thing to consider, and he directly used an architectural drawing in that world - and the design was too lazy to redesign.

After speaking, Manager Wang Siping sneered in his heart and thought, and said that he had taste? !

I don't know who built it, but the exterior walls of the Geranza Hotel are hung with yellow tiles, saying that they are clean and easy to clean, and they are distinctive...... The point is that this establishment has even been approved by the board of directors - how is it now? What a small hospital looked like in the seventies! What kind of aesthetic abilities do these people have......

In fact, it can't be said to be like a small hospital in the 70s - the Geranza Hotel is at least much larger than the small hospital, with more than 120 rooms.

The class of rooms on each floor of the hotel is different.

The rooms on the first floor are of the third class. This is mainly for ordinary merchants, large guest rooms, eight people a room, a day of silver and tael, there is no independent toilet, you can only go up to the corridor to wash the public toilet at the head, like bathing and the like to go out to the back of the hotel to a separate large bathhouse. The large bathhouse is similar to the large bathhouse in the north, and you can bathe in groups...... That is, disinfection. Breakfast is free, but you have to go to the lobby to eat...... The lighting in the rooms on this floor is controlled by the service desk. When the time comes, the lights will be turned off, and you have to sleep if you don't want to.

The rooms on the second floor are of the second class. It costs three taels of silver a day, for businessmen who have a little money and pretend not to save. Each room has its own bathroom with shower...... There are all the necessary toiletries inside, and of course, in addition to the mirror, you have to go to the hall for breakfast...... However, the dining place is not with the third-class customers.

The third floor is a first-class high room, and it costs ten taels of silver a day.

This is for high-level customers, and it is much better formulated...... No matter what, it must be worthy of ten taels of silver in appearance.

There is not only a separate bathroom, but also a shower, a barrel bath, a small room for servants, and a special attendant to clean it regularly.

The equipment in the room is of high standard in this time and space. Not to mention ceramic vanities, large glass mirrors, cedar barrels...... A single flush toilet is not something that people on this plane have ever seen...... That's what the Red Star Ceramics Factory is officially producing.

Hantang Group originally wanted to install squatting toilets in a unified manner, and that thing was simple. Flush toilets are much more complicated, and they can't be easily cooked...... It requires at least six molds to be put together...... When drying, you have to assemble and stick them, which is quite troublesome.

But someone on the Internet mentioned yì and said, can we only squat in the future? I still want to sit on the toilet and read the newspaper......

It's right to think about it, but it's not a mass production after trial production...... Sooner or later, the chemical industry and other sectors will need ceramic equipment with more complex structures.

The director of the Red Star Ceramics Factory gathered his ceramicists together, painted and talked, and finally led two older craftsmen to the city of Gelanza, in the bathroom next to Chairman Wu Dapeng's office, to observe the real thing, and almost smashed the toilet to show them.

The flush toilet there was removed from the Purple Cloud......

The Mingren potters finally understood what was going on with the flush toilet, and praised in their hearts, these people from the Hantang Group are really talented, and they can think of objects so ingeniously...... The Ming ceramicist discussed and discussed, and finally said, "That so-called death-loving pipe is not difficult...... The whole thing is not a problem, the point is that the mold can cost a lot...... I'm afraid the plank mold won't help......"

The director of the Red Star Ceramics Factory smiled and said, "Can you use gypsum? ”

The Akito potters praised and said, "Good! The factory director is really well-informed, and plaster molds are available! ”

After several weeks of hard work, the Hantang Group version of the toilet was officially launched. However, the overall color is dark and not very white, which is mainly due to the local clay soil itself, congenital problems.

Hongxing Ceramics Factory simply added all kinds of dyes such as iron, red, iron and blue to the glaze, and there were all kinds of colors, but there was no pure white...... Since then, the technology of gypsum mold and box stacking has become the unpassed skill of Hongxing Ceramics Factory...... The director of the ceramic factory once said that our flush toilets can be sold for a lifetime, so that every civilized family in the world can not do without our Red Star Ceramics Factory!

However, the results were not so good and did not meet their expectations.

In less than ten years, after the world became more and more stable, with the hot sale of flush toilets, another ceramic factory opened by Ming people in Taiwan also successfully trial-produced flush toilets, and they did not infringe on the technical patents of the Red Star Ceramics Factory...... This made the popularity of the Red Star Ceramics Factory blue-eyed, but they had no choice but to seriously start all kinds of fierce competition with this group of people from Jingdezhen.

What's even more annoying is that there are also several ceramic factories in Foshan, Guangdong Province that have successfully trial-produced, and people also specialize in pure white series...... Even people within the Hantang Group went to buy them, and said that they had finally returned to their origins...... The popularity of the Red Star Ceramics Factory has been ruined......

Again, I have to say that.

On the third floor of the Geranza Hotel, there are four stateroom rooms, which are for the technicians who come to the city on business, and there are many modern products in them...... Definitely not open to Akito.

In order to build the rustic architecture of these two planes...... Hantang Group paid a certain price, and some key pieces were removed from the Ziyun.

There has been controversy on the Internet about the handling of the Ziyun, which is a little different from the original plan.

In the original plan, the Ziyun was completely mothballed until the oil was extracted.

Some technicians mentioned that we can completely remove some non-critical equipment, especially those parts that are temporarily difficult to process, or cannot be processed at all...... For example, insulated wires......

Director Li Ziqiang thought about it and said: "For example, some water supply, gas supply pipelines, lamps and other daily necessities are also counted, anyway, we can produce them in the end, and it is ......not impossible to use the newly produced ones to assemble them back when the time comes."

The five members of the board of directors also met and felt that it was completely feasible, so they made adaptations and changes to the plan.

All the information of the Ziyun is on the Internet, and each department has made its own choice......

If the ship is completely dismantled...... They could directly build a civilization of a considerable scale, but this was completely unnecessary, so some key parts were still not touched...... But everyone is ruthless enough, and they didn't even let go of the hollow steel pipes of the handrails, and dismantled them one by one.

In another three or two years, if they still can't produce qualified steel pipes, it will be a real wasted life.

The clerks and waiters needed by the customs and hotels in Geranza are all produced by the girls' version of Lanxiang School.

Lanxiang School has always been controlled by several female technicians of the Hantang Group, wrong, it is the girls. The boys of the Hantang Group are not allowed to interfere.

They finally selected five literate girls from hundreds of Ming girls, and then taught them to learn various methods of filling in forms, how to play abacus, and how to receive staff...... Fortunately, the content is not difficult, and after spending a little time, even if you can try it out, you can slowly hone it in your work in the future......

These five girls were specially provided to the customs department by Lanxiang School...... The electric man Gao Degao and Ma Dehua there are indeed a little busy.

The work of the customs is heavy and extremely trivial, and the Ming people can be borrowed for boarding and inspection, and the Ming people can also be borrowed for inspection and inspection, but they cannot use the Ming people for things related to filling out reports, calculating taxes, and sorting out the current accounts, so they have to be the technicians of the Hantang Group who go into battle shirtless...... This is really a waste of talents, so other departments did not compete with them for the requirements put forward by the customs department for Lanxiang School.

As for the service staff of the hotel, Lanxiang School is easier to train.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Lanxiang School did not adopt the seductive version of the maid costume designed by someone, but designed them uniformly...... It is looser than the modern one, and it is more compact than the Ming Dynasty.

A lot of boys were unhappy about it, but no one said it.
