Chapter 22 Resumption of production of brick kilns, price of blue bricks
Gu Anmin didn't know that the second leader had secretly made up his mind to help him get a loan as a fund for the reboot of the brick kiln.
I don’t know that the second leader convinced the big leader that they went to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to discuss loans together, but because of the "post and telecommunications division" that just happened this month, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau declined due to internal business adjustments. (Splied into postal and telecommunications)
I heard that 'Don't be anxious, let me think of a solution', and I just thought the other party delayed it, and immediately said that I would put a table in the brick factory...
Because he was short of money, Gu Anmin did not arrange for Zhang Wei to order food at Gunjie Building, but instead contacted Gujia Village by phone and asked Uncle Yuanfang to help him pick up some edamames and dig some peanuts to deliver them.
Then ask the master cook to cook, then slice the mutton that was ready for dinner, and use the pork left yesterday and the chicken left over the day before yesterday to grill it on the earthen stove with unburned charcoal...
I moved a square table, made a few stools, took out a few bottles of Maotai that I hadn't finished drinking in the corner building last time, poured the bottom of the bottle into the cup, and made up two bottles with three and a half bottles. The bottle was not satisfied and added some coolness to the boil...
Just after finishing his work, Pusang drove into the brick factory in the township, and the two leaders got out of the car, one left and one right.
The second leader saw the blue bricks transported out of the brick kiln, and ran over quickly, "It's ignited? No, why are the blue bricks burning?"
Gu Anmin walked forward, handed a cigarette, and said leisurely: "The structure of our wheel kiln was unscientific as early as when it was built. Later, my father made drastic rectification. Although it was burned, it actually deviated from the wheel kiln concept, which was a bit like a tunnel kiln with external flue."
Hearing this, the second leader looked embarrassed.
He gave the old-fashioned wheel kiln low-priced plate to Lao Gu, but he didn't mean to lose his burden.
After all, the official brick kiln has been operating for five or six years and is burning money every day...
Later, Lao Gu invited batches of experts from all over the world, and the two leaders could not count the number of renovations, so the kiln structure would inevitably be beyond recognition.
However, the resumption of production of the brick kiln was like a reassurance. It was very confident about subsequent loans and immediately no longer concerned about the blue bricks and red bricks.
In order to avoid being suspected of cheating in the future, Gu Anmin continued to explain: "Blue bricks are resistant to fabrication, and their alkali resistance and water resistance are better than red bricks. The production process is naturally more complex, and the energy consumption, including the temperature, is also greater than that of red bricks. In addition, it is difficult to achieve mechanization, which leads to the price of blue bricks on the market, almost three to five times that of red bricks.
Fortunately, the kiln repair masters I found by my brothers have formulated a set of mass-produced blue bricks based on the existing structure of our wheel kiln. We will apply for a patent from our superiors in the future."
"Good thing, good thing!"
The second leader smiled and rubbed his hands, picked up two blue bricks that had become wet due to the dust rinsing, and collided with each other several times, "This quality is nothing to say."
The leader looked up at the chimney fifty or sixty meters high, "In theory, the blue bricks need higher temperatures, but why is there no smoke coming out from it?"
"The new brick kiln uses internal high-temperature circulation technology, which uses the flue made of refractory bricks to allow waste heat to flow inside, continuously enhance the strength of the bricks, and gradually condense. In addition, the blue bricks need to be cooled with water after forming, which will produce a large amount of water vapor. The water vapor adsorbs thick smoke. When it is settled, it will naturally not produce too much waste gas. This is the advantage of our new brick kiln, which is pollution-free and energy-efficient, and is very in line with the environmental governance regulations being implemented by the superiors."
Gu Anmin was as informed as possible, and after he finished speaking, he brought the topic to the production. "But, he is currently in the experimental stage, and the daily output is only 20,000 yuan."
"Only 20,000 yuan?" The second leader was slightly disappointed.
"So I'm looking for two people to get a loan. It's troublesome to make blue bricks and cannot achieve mechanization. If you want to increase the output, you have to recruit labor."
"etc!"
The second leader suddenly remembered something, "The price of blue bricks is three to five times that of red bricks. We can increase the output and can we really sell them then?"
"That's the market price. Our blue bricks... You may not believe it if you say it. Even if the selling price is the same as ordinary red bricks, the profit can reach one tenth."
Lao Gu runs a brick factory with two cents of red bricks and two cents of profit.
Costs include: buying land to dig soil, shipping blanks, drying kilns, sintering and shipping, and if delivered to the door, add two cents to each piece.
This includes workers' salaries, water, electricity, coal, and other raw materials.
For the existing blue bricks, you only need to buy stones to recycle them, demolish them with strong men, and carry them with small workers...
Strictly speaking, even if you pay a strong man more salary, you can make a penny by selling two cents.
But considering cheating and disguising, I can only say I can earn two points.
The two leaders did not doubt that they had him, and their faces and smiles became brighter.
The second leader took a deep breath and said, "We must get a loan and increase the output. The brick kilns in the neighboring township do not do personnel and raise the price to 25 cents... Humph, this is purely a blatant search of funds from our village, saying that everyone behind it supports it, and the ghost doesn't believe it."
The leader nodded, "Xiao Gu, the market price of blue bricks is affected by their own factors. They can sell red bricks for 25 cents. We can sell the price for 3 cents. There is also a market."
"Leader, it's not the case. The old houses in the village are flipped up. Wherever the villagers buy bricks, they only want to be cheap, and they don't care about the blue and red bricks at all, so... we'll sell two cents."
Gu Anmin said as he led the way to the small square table, "Of course, Jianjun Brick Factory... no, Anmin Brick Factory!
The ability of Anmin Brick Factory to sell blue bricks at a very low price is not unrelated to the support of the village.
Originally, the price of green bricks was 30 cents. In order to benefit Shiliying, the village proposed a subsidy plan, which was 5 cents per block, and there was also a policy of benefiting farmers, and each block was 5 cents a discount, so the price was 2 cents...
To put it bluntly, this is the leader’s work in place!”
When the two township leaders heard this, they were as if they were struck by lightning and stood there.
Second leader: My mother, look at how good this is... I just said, if this kid takes the exam, he will climb on my head every minute.
Big leader:...
"In addition, the price of brick kilns in the neighboring township is simply to absorb the wealth of our township. With this subsidy plan, we can blatantly sell the blue bricks to the neighboring township at a high price and rebel against the army!"
"Well said!"
The second leader was nervous and frightened the eldest leader so much that he was shocked, "Xiao Gu, that's all!"
"loan……"
"Not a problem!" The leader picked up the wine glass and signaled.
Gu Anmin felt a little embarrassed and also picked up the wine glass, "Today's meal made the leaders laugh. I was so cyst-short and I was almost unable to get rid of the blame."
"Hi, what's the point? This is called simplicity, which is in line with the folk customs of our Shiliying!" The second leader said, suffocating the wine in his glass, then smacking his lips and frowned.
This wine...is a bit light!
Are you in a good mood and drinking?
The leader took the opportunity to add, "The food is good and bad, and you have to separate people. Sitting here and having some home-cooked meals means that they are all their own people. Going to a restaurant is a social event."
"What the leader said is so reasonable!" Gu Anmin slapped his thigh, "I've done it, you can do it..."
"No, no, together, together!"
The lights are on, the night is hazy, and the chimneys 50 or 60 meters high appear in the moonlight...
Three men were pushing cups and talking, Zhang Wei quietly picked up the empty Maotai bottle and filled the bulk Niulanshan Erguotou...
The second leader: "Good wine!"
Chapter completed!
