In order for a factory to achieve better efficiency, it must start from two aspects, one is workers and the other is machines. Zhang Tinglan proposed a new management system and promised to significantly increase wages, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of workers.
In the past, foremen punished those who were lagging behind, but now they have rewarded those who came first. The former completely regarded people as animals, while the latter took full advantage of human nature. Everyone is eager to earn more. I am afraid that workers will work harder in the future.
The more goods they produce, the more sweat they put in, but they are happy with it.
"I would like to say that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. It is good to solve the workers' problems, but the factory's machinery is too backward and must be innovated!"
Kuang Rongguang frowned when he inspected the factory. Xiong Mengyuan and Chen Qiming felt as if they had eaten bitter gourd. The Fengtian Machinery Bureau's machines were originally purchased by Shengjing General Yiketang'a. The initial plan was to produce arms, but after they were completed
After that, only silver coins could be produced.
These machines were all steam-powered and crude and large. Compared with the world's mainstream electric equipment at that time, they were already seriously behind. Moreover, they had been used for nearly 20 years, and the maintenance effect was also very poor. The machines could only be used for four hours.
Describe it in one word.
"The road is full of obstacles. Starting a business is difficult. No matter how difficult it is, we are not afraid!" Chen Qiming said with a very serious expression: "It doesn't matter if the factory starts at a low level. Many large companies in the United States also started from small workshops. The most critical factor is people.
We must have good managers and enough talents, and we will be able to develop.”
"That's right." Xiong Mengyuan also said loudly: "When we come back from overseas, we just want to serve the country. If it is to enjoy happiness, we will not come back abroad!"
"It's best if you two are ambitious. I can tell you. These difficulties are temporary. The British promised to build a power plant some time ago, which is almost done. In addition, I ordered a batch of machines and generators from the United States. We
We will soon enter the electrical age. As for talents? There will be a group of Russian technicians working in Fengtian for the time being. You must fully exploit these Russian technologies and learn real skills. You must arrange enough apprentices in the factory to make everyone
I watched every operation process!"
Kuang Rongguang had known for a long time that Zhang Tinglan was doing everything right. Now that he saw it, he had indeed thought it through thoroughly. There were power plants, machines, and Russian technicians, all of which added up to the Fengtian Arsenal.
"Mr. Zhang. Since we have made such detailed arrangements, what should we do now? Produce guns or explosives?"
"Brother Xiong, you are too impatient." Zhang Tinglan said with a bitter smile: "I negotiated an agreement with the Americans. We will be responsible for producing the gun stocks and magazines, and then transport them to the United States for assembly. For the time being, we will do this first."
"This is still too far away from making guns!"
"Finally, we are no longer involved with guns." Chen Qiming said with a smile: "Let's make gun stocks first, and after we get some first money, we can continue to buy machines. It's like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, we can complete the factory.
stand up."
Chen Qiming is obviously very motivated. Zhang Tinglan is also very satisfied. What he needs is such young people who are not experienced in the world and are full of motivation. The beginning of the arsenal will be very difficult. Without perseverance, you will not be able to persevere.
"To tell you the truth, I have enough funds on hand to buy several production lines, even chemical plants and steel plants!"
"Then why not buy it?" Xiong Mengyuan blurted out. He obviously still didn't understand Fengtian's current situation.
"Brother Xiong, the great powers are not willing to see China become stronger. Many key technologies and equipment cannot be sold to us at all, and there are still Japanese wolves watching. They have long regarded Fengtian as a future colony to operate, and even more
The Chinese Communist Party is not allowed to grow stronger. Maybe they can still tolerate the production of some gun stocks now. If they can produce rifles, the Japanese will definitely get involved and try their best to control the factory in their own hands!"
This was the case with the Fengtian Arsenal in history. There were a large number of Japanese technicians active in the factory. These people were called help, but in reality they were restricting surveillance and even sabotaging. They controlled key technologies, influenced the direction of development, and tried every means to prevent Fengtian.
The arsenal developed independently and put everything under the control of the Japanese. Historically, the Fengtian arsenal was the largest in the country, but it was a castle on the beach. It did not have enough foundation and did not make Fengjun truly strong. In the end
This arsenal still fell into the hands of the Japanese and became an accomplice in the invasion of China.
When Zhang Tinglan first established the arsenal, he had already thought of trying to prevent the infiltration of Japanese forces. Our ancestors have long taught us that the sharp weapons of the country should not be revealed to others. The core technology of the Fengtian arsenal must not be known to the Japanese with ulterior motives.
"Mr. Zhang, then we can't just keep producing gun stocks instead of rifles because we are afraid of the Japanese, right?" Chen Qiming asked with some confusion.
"Of course not. Producing gun stocks is just a cover." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Whether it is buying, stealing, or even robbing, I will always find a way to get some. When the arsenal begins to take shape, Governor Zhang's position will be
Now that we have secured our position, we will have enough power to deal with the Japanese. At that time, we were building and expanding openly, and I believe that Fengtian Arsenal will soon become the largest factory in China!"
"That's great!" Xiong Mengyuan waved his fist excitedly: "Now that Mr. Zhang has a clear plan, we don't need to think too much. Qiming and I will just work. If there are any tasks, you can assign them to us.
!”
"I initially plan to divide the arsenal into three production workshops. The first one is responsible for firearms, the second one is responsible for explosives, and the third one is responsible for maintenance. Currently, the task of producing gun stocks is mainly placed in the first workshop. Brother Xiong will be responsible for it temporarily.
The explosives workshop is left to Brother Chen. The other third workshop is called a maintenance workshop, but its task is the most important. It requires workers to understand the structure of the rifle through disassembly and assembly, and strive to manufacture more parts by themselves."
"Zhu Yan's idea is very good." Kuang Rongguang also said with a smile: "Sooner or later, we will have to build our own rifle. It is necessary to start research now, so as to learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses!"
"Mr. Kuang, it's not just that. The more parts we can make, the more orders we can get from the United States. Now we are making the gun stock, and the next step is to make the bayonet, the bolt, and the bullet. Take out the ants to eat
With the strength of our bones and running quickly in small steps, we will soon be able to make our own weapons, and Fengjun will have the capital to deal with the Japanese."
Zhang Tinglan said very seriously: "Fengtian established a strong military-industrial system to protect the fertile soil of the three eastern provinces. The Japanese are ambitious and Tsarist Russia is greedy. The lives of tens of millions of compatriots and the survival of millions of square kilometers of land depend on the Fengtian Arsenal. We
We have to work hard together!”
These words are Zhang Tinglan's heartfelt words. Only in this era can we truly feel the aggressive posture of the Japanese. There are a large number of Japanese troops stationed along the South Manchuria Railway. Japanese businessmen have their footprints all over Fengtian. They use force as a backing to rob economic benefits.
, turning the three northeastern provinces into de facto economic colonies.
The September 18th Incident was no accident. After Japan's management, the three northeastern provinces had already matured and were no longer sustainable. Although Xiong Mengyuan and Chen Qiming did not know the history of later generations, they were very aware of the cruel reality. The Japanese had just threatened to use force against Fengtian.
And so far, the carjacking case has not yet been concluded.
The facts were before their eyes, and they all felt a sense of urgency. After the inspection, they began to formulate a plan for a comprehensive reorganization of the factory. Zhang Tinglan and Kuang Rongguang were responsible for formulating various specifications. Xiong Mengyuan and Chen Qiming were responsible for carefully understanding the technical level of the machines and workers, and also
It is necessary to calculate what kind of talents and machines Fengtian Arsenal still needs.
Then a catalog was drawn up, the cost was estimated, and handed over to Zhang Tinglan, who then went to find a solution. While they were busy, Yang Yuting also came to the arsenal.
"Mr. Linge, you came just in time, otherwise I would have to catch your young man." Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting spent some time together and found that this man is actually very good. The only problem is that he is a bit arrogant, but he must first be talented.
, Historically, Fengtian Arsenal was run by Yang Yuting, so it is just right for him to help now.
Yang Yuting did not refuse at all, and together he helped Zhang Tinglan sort out various relationships and formulate strategies.
"I'd like to say that the first thing to run a factory is to hire people. There's no telling what your abilities are, but you can't just stare at the arsenal every day. Mr. Kuang will also be responsible for the School of Mining in the future. Although Mr. Xiong and Mr. Chen are talented, they are not very good at management and coordination.
You may not be familiar with him. Liu Tongguang is an old man from the former Qing Dynasty. He was a smooth official and extremely greedy. He is not a suitable candidate to manage a factory. Therefore, I recommend a person named Tao Zhiping. He studied military affairs in his early years and also ran a mine.
Mining is a talent."
"Ling Ge has always had a unique vision, so let's appoint Tao Zhiping as the factory supervisor!"
"I'd like to say that there is one more thing you should pay attention to. The factories are all located in Fengtian, which will inevitably attract the covetousness of the Japanese, especially those Russian technicians. If the Japanese know about it, they will definitely make great efforts to trace it. If they are investigated
It will be difficult to handle anything!"
Yang Yuting participated in the carjacking case, and he was the most vigilant. What he was most worried about was leaking the news. Zhang Tinglan also strongly agreed with this point, so he sailed with caution.
"Ling Ge is right. I was originally planning to place the Russian technicians in Tieling, so I might as well put the maintenance workshop in Tieling, and put the explosives workshop outside the city and protect it closely. After this period of time has passed, I can put it in Tieling.
The factory was moved together.”
"Well, although it increases the difficulty of management and costs a lot of money, safety is still the first priority!"
Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting are both the most capable people in the Fengjun. The two of them joined forces, and soon the reorganization of the arsenal was almost completed. American machines also arrived in Tianjin and could be shipped immediately. Moreover, they found Wang
Yongjiang, now the finance director of Fengtian, holds financial power, and he quickly approved special funds.
Just when everything was ready, another team came from Fengtian, led by Feng Delin. He led two battalions of soldiers and found Zhang Zuolin with murderous intent. The old enemies met again. (To be completed. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
