After Li Min returned to Shengtang Group, he called everyone together to discuss some related matters.
He first said: "Yuan Tiangang, I want you to recruit 10,000 people within seven days. The recruitment criteria are people with good physical strength, more active people, and able to adapt to working overtime!"
Yuan Tiangang looked troubled. It was easy to talk about the conditions, just the number of people.
Ten thousand people are not a minority. Now the entire Shengtang Group only has more than five thousand people.
If we add another 10,000 people, the number will be 15,000. How much will be lost in wages alone.
In the entire city of Chang'an, and even in the Tang Dynasty, apart from the five major families and the imperial court, the only one who could afford this kind of money was Li Min.
Others can recruit so many people, but they just can't afford it.
"Mr. Zili, I'm afraid it won't work in these seven days!"
"Oh? Why?"
"The previous recruitment took me a lot of time, but this time if I have to recruit 10,000 people within seven days, and these people must be loyal people, it will be very difficult!"
Yuan Tiangang was considered a conscientious person. For Li Min, he checked everything and looked at the situation a lot in order not to recruit some traitors.
Li Min said: "The core content of the bicycle still lies in the blacksmith shop. As long as you grasp it well, it really doesn't matter whether the loyalty of 10,000 people is right! I only want people who can work!"
The core technologies are all with us and no one can steal them.
Even if this core technology is shared in the future, it will be okay. At that time, the price of bicycles has been reduced and it has become a price close to the people. It is okay to give it to others. Let them build it. Will they make money?
one question.
"Then what should we do if some people slow down their work and are not motivated?"
"It doesn't exist. The next thing to do is to work on a piece-by-piece basis. How much does one piece cost? Only when you are qualified can you get paid. The more work you do, the more money you will make. So in terms of motivation, you don't have to think about it."
"In this case, I think it is very feasible!"
Yuan Tiangang expressed.
"Mr. Zili, if ten thousand people come in, where will they live? Where will they work?"
Zhu Shan asked at this time.
Li Min did not reply.
Yan Lide said: "Now the building has seven floors, and the lower three floors can be used directly. As long as Mr. Zili is willing, I can decorate it, but it will take about ten days."
The first floor is about 7,000 square meters, and the third floor is 21,000 square meters. It should be enough to accommodate 10,000 people. Otherwise, other places in the Shengtang Group can also be accommodated.
"That's it, that's it!"
Zhu Shan said.
Li Min said: "Ten days is too long, it takes at most five days to complete the decoration!"
When Yan Lide heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Zili, although the water ladder has been equipped, some materials are not yet in place, and winter is coming. The weather will be cold in the coming days, and the construction period will be much slower. Moreover, regarding the issue of light transmittance, it is also necessary to
considerate."
In ancient times, ordinary people used earth blocks to build their houses. In the homes of wealthy officials and servants, lime, glutinous rice and egg white were generally used as adhesives to bond the stones and pave the floors. The same was true in the palace, except that the ones in the palace were
Good stuff like white marble.
The Shengtang Group has money, so it naturally creates it in the form of a rich man.
But if that's the case, that's not what Li Min wants to do.
So, he said: "It's time to decorate, I have something to show you!"
"oh?"
Yan Lide was curious.
This shows that Li Min still has some tricks hidden in his mind.
During this period of time, Yan Lide learned a lot, and his architectural talents have been greatly improved.
Therefore, some of his future architectural thinking was deeply influenced by Li Min.
"I happen to be prepared, you come with me!"
Li Min walked in front, followed by Ji Ruxue, Zhu Shan, Yan Lide and Sun Simiao. As for Yuan Tiangang, he went out to mess around with recruiting people.
Li Min walked forward until he reached a place near the high platform.
I don't know when a wall was erected there, and Yan Lide hasn't noticed it recently.
He walked over and saw that the middle window was empty, and the window was surrounded by red bricks.
The pieces of red bricks were a novelty to Yan Lide.
In one area, the red bricks were covered with a layer of cement putty.
"Mr. Zili, what is this?"
"This is red brick!"
"Where does it come from?"
"I made it myself, please weigh it and see!"
Li Min walked over, then picked up a red brick and threw it to Yan Lide.
Yan Lide took it carefully, and his expression lit up when he took it.
"This brick looks so big, but I didn't expect it to be so light! It's amazing! What is it made of?"
Li Min said, what's so magical about this? It will be built this way in the future. First, reinforced concrete is used as the structure, then bricks are used as walls, cement is used as putty for painting, and finally white ash is added. In this way, it looks good and beautiful.
, and durable!
Li Min just said: "Red soil! Plus some other raw materials."
"Red soil can actually make such bricks. In other words, a thirty-story building will be much lighter in weight."
Red bricks are sintered buildings made from clay, shale, coal gangue, etc., which are crushed, mixed and kneaded, pressed manually or mechanically, dried and fired with an oxidizing flame at a temperature of about 900 degrees Celsius.
Bricks were invented by the ancient Romans. Now they are directly used by Li Min.
Yan Lide couldn't put it down about this new type of building material.
"Also, regarding the lighting issue, if you look at that window, can you feel the difference?"
Yan Lide walked over and looked left and right, but couldn't see why.
He walked around but still couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, Li Min held a basin of water in his hand and poured it directly on Yan Lide.
This splash made Yan Lide quickly block it with his hands.
A scene that shocked everyone happened.
His body was not wet at all.
Li Min smiled.
Everyone was puzzled.
Is there something in between?
Everyone walked over and took a look.
Sure enough, there seemed to be a little thickness in the middle of the window.
Ji Ruxue shouted out first: "Isn't this Liuli?"
Sun Simiao came over to take a look.
"Such a big piece of glass? Or is it not glass?"
No one could figure out what this was.
The only solution is Liuli.
But how was such a large piece of glass made?
While he was shocked, he admired Li Min even more.
There is really nothing in this world that he cannot do.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zili, what is this? It's so magical and transparent!"
Yan Lide asked, pointing to the middle of the window.
Everyone looked at Li Min, hoping that he could explain what it was.
