Wu Yulin imagined many ways to meet, but he never expected that Zhang Tinglan would give everyone a raise and bonus as soon as they met. This was so unexpected that it took a while for all the workers present to understand what Zhang Tinglan meant.
, the bosses opened their mouths one by one, not knowing what to say.
"Everyone, don't you think your wages are less?" Zhang Tinglan said with a playful smile: "I can tell you that as long as you do well, your wages and bonuses will increase exponentially. A university professor can earn three or four dollars a month.
A hundred oceans away, the senior technicians among you can definitely surpass university professors. Of course, if you want to earn such a high income, you must first prove that you are worth the money!"
Relying on money for motivation may sound like a very tacky thing, but for these ordinary workers, nothing is more real than money. There are seniors and juniors in the family, and the shipbuilding industry has been operating poorly in these years.
Arrears in wages are commonplace. Many people have not bought new clothes for several years, and have not eaten meat for several months. At this time, a large bonus suddenly falls on their heads.
And if you do a good job, it will grow significantly in the future. These workers were simply crazy with joy. Everyone cheered in an instant, and they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
The same was true for Wu Yulin. He was originally worried about the future of the shipyard, but now he saw that Feng Jun was so generous.
There is no need to live on your fingers anymore.
"Director Wu, first give everyone a bonus, and then give everyone a half-day vacation to make the family more comfortable. Then you can accompany me to see the factory. Since Fengjun is in charge of the factory, we can't continue to live half-dead!"
"Everything is at your discretion, I'll do it right away!"
The bonuses were quickly distributed, and all these workers were beaming and went home together. Everyone was thinking about buying a pair of shoes for their children, a new outfit for their wives, and buying a few kilograms of meat. If they could eat meat properly, they might meet someone who would take action.
Generous boss, I have hope for the future.
Almost all the workers had left. Wu Yulin walked with Zhang Tinglan in the factory. As he walked, Wu Yulin introduced: "When the Beiyang Navy was founded, a large number of warships were purchased from Britain and Germany. In order to facilitate the maintenance of these warships, Li Hongzhang personally
The Dago factory was planned to be built. One hundred and ten acres of land were selected as the dock site. Initially, there were only eight movable machine rooms, motors,

There are six shipyards and more than 600 workers."
Wu Yulin briefly introduced the history of Daku Factory to Zhang Tinglan. Daku Factory can be regarded as the earliest shipbuilding enterprise in northern China. It also gathered a large number of talents and built warships of less than 1,000 tons. Later, it increased its arms production capacity and was able to
This is already quite rare in Chinese factories. Later, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Russians looted the factory, resulting in a large loss of machinery and equipment, and most of the workers were unemployed. Speaking of this, Wu Yulin was also very sad and angry.
"When the Daku Shipyard was under construction, it was no worse than the Japanese shipyards of the same period. What hindered the development of the factory was the problem of funding. Without enough funding, it would not be able to produce enough products. As a result, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Beiyang Shipbuilding Industry
The division was completely wiped out, and the Daku Factory became a dispensable piece of chicken. Then it was destroyed by the Russians. Without these misfortunes, maybe the Dago Factory could now produce more than 1,000 tons, or even several thousand tons.
With tons of warships, China will not be defenseless at sea and be bullied by others!"
Having said this, Wu Yulin was also very sad and angry. Zhang Tinglan also knew the difficulties involved. Looking at the vicissitudes of the factory, he felt very unhappy.
"Reminiscing about the past is what scholars like to do. People who really do practical things must base themselves on the present and constantly catch up. If there are no machines, we will find ways to buy them. If there are no talents, we will search for and train them. Sooner or later, the Dagu Shipyard will definitely surpass the Japanese.
The shipyard produces giant warships to defend China’s maritime borders.”
"You are our boss and leader. If you have confidence, we will have confidence. The move of Dago Factory to Fengtian will be a new life for the factory. We must achieve results."
"Well, funds, technology, talents, and machines will all be found and we will try our best to help you solve the problem. There will be at least 500,000 yuan invested every year, and more will be added in the future."
During the Qing Dynasty, the annual expenditure of the Dago Factory was only about 50,000 taels. Zhang Tinglan suddenly increased it tenfold, which made Wu Yulin particularly excited.
"General Zhang, it turns out that there are many craftsmen in the Dago Factory who have changed careers because they have no jobs. Now that the factory is going to be relocated, I suggest that we recruit these people back, and then recruit more shipbuilding talents to try to put it into production quickly!"
As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard this suggestion, he immediately nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. A factory worker is the most critical. Machines can be purchased, but experienced workers can only be trained step by step. Everyone tries to recruit them back, and their moving expenses will be paid."
I will pay for it all, and I will allocate 10,000 yuan to you first to complete the relocation as quickly as possible!"
If you have money, it will be easier to do things. Tianjin is also the earliest open door in China, bringing together talents from all walks of life. After Wu Yulin got the support of Zhang Tinglan, he immediately started to inquire around and recruit as many workers as possible from the original Dago factory.
In addition, Wu Yulin came forward to hire several Western technicians. The level of these people was not very high. After all, people with real skills were not willing to take risks in China. However, with their ability, they could still produce ordinary cargo ships.
The shipbuilding industry is an industry that requires accumulation, and Zhang Tinglan does not expect to achieve success in one fell swoop. In the early stages, the Daku Factory will definitely have to practice with small-tonnage ships, and then gradually improve its technology. By that time, the First World War may have ended.
, Germany's huge High Seas Fleet also disappeared. Due to the Treaty of Versailles, a large number of German shipbuilding talents were unemployed. This was a good opportunity for Fengjun.
The Battle of Jutland has proved that Germany's shipbuilding technology is quite good. If German technology can be introduced, there will be hope for the great cause of the navy.
As a large number of workers were recruited back, the Dago Factory regained its vitality. These workers also knew about Fengjun's new treatment. Their wages were doubled, and if they did well, they would receive more bonuses, and they could even get hundreds.
The ocean is like a magnet, firmly attracting these former workers.
The dismantling work of the machines has also begun. These machines have experienced decades of wind and frost. Like many workers, they are all old, but now they are full of new vitality.
It is not terrible to be backward in industrial technology. After all, as a late-developing country, it can avoid many detours. The most important thing is the problem of whether or not. As long as it is solved, the next step is to continue to progress and upgrade, and the speed will often be faster than imagined.
The mission of these old machines is to help Fengjun train workers.
At the same time as the relocation, Zhang Tinglan also instructed Wu Yulin to set up an affiliated technical school to train the shipbuilding talents needed in the future. This is something Wu Yulin had wanted to do for a long time, but was unable to do it due to lack of funds. Now that Fengjun took over, everything has been done
It made Wu Yulin overjoyed and his whole body was filled with energy.
Just when the relocation work was on track, the Zhou family also sent an invitation to Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang to attend the welcome dance. Zhang Tinglan had actually wanted to visit the Zhou family for a long time, but was in a hurry to deal with the matters at the Dago Factory, so he did not take the time.
, as for Zhang Xueliang, he likes liveliness even more. As soon as he heard that there was a dance, he readily agreed.
"I have long heard that Tianjin is a mixed-use city with foreigners, prosperous and trendy. I just want to see it this time."
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Han Qing, it is fake to see the scenery, but it is true to appreciate the beauty, right? I heard that there are many socialites and socialites at this kind of dance. With Zhang Shaoshuai's brand, I really don't know how many there are.
People are throwing themselves into their arms!”
"Zhu Yan, please don't harm me. If Feng Zhi finds out about this, she will have to divorce me."
"Han Qing, what I'm implying is, if Fengzhi doesn't know, you can just let it go?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm very strict with my words!"
Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhang Tinglan, as if he would be fooled if he believed it.
They rushed all the way to the Zhou Mansion. This dance was mainly for people of the younger generation, so Zhou Xuexi and the others did not show up. The person in charge of the reception was Zhou Shutao, who had just returned to Tianjin from Jilin.
During the period of mining coal mines in the three northeastern provinces, Zhou Shutao carefully observed the political situation of Fengjun. He was well aware of the status of Zhang Tinglan and his son in Fengjun, and also knew how many things Zhang Tinglan had gone through during this period. Therefore, for this future leader
My brother-in-law is very enthusiastic.
Pulling Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang inside, Zhou Xuexi once served as the Minister of Finance and held a large number of industrial companies in his hands. He could definitely be called a first-class wealthy family. Their family held a dance party, attracting young talents from big families all over Tianjin.
, well-known socialites, and many foreigners, all gathered together.
The lights were shining and the music was melodious, almost no different from those of later generations. Only when she got here did Zhang Tinglan see another side of the Republic of China. Not only were mourners everywhere, but there were also people who were in a state of dissipation and wealth, but only a very small number of people enjoyed this kind of enjoyment.
As soon as he sat down, a young woman wearing a cheongsam with white arms exposed came over gracefully, smiled at Zhang Tinglan and said: "Sir, let's dance!"
"Sorry, I can't."
The social butterfly was obviously taken aback. She had never been rejected before. She immediately turned her head dissatisfied and said softly: "You bumpkin, you don't know anything and you still dare to come here!"
As she spoke, she was like a gust of fragrance drifting towards the tall foreigner who was walking towards her. She greeted the tall foreigner with a sweet and greasy voice, and her face was full of flattery. Little did she know that the foreigner ignored her at all and walked quickly to Zhang Tinglan. In front of him, he said respectfully: "Boss, I was about to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet you here." (To be continued.
