After looking at the spinning process, there is the weaving workshop. Lishan introduced the performance and output of the loom as he walked. Everyone watched the shuttle flying on the loom, making a continuous clicking sound, but no one was around.
During operation, only female workers in uniform are inspecting the wiring.
Chen Lin silently calculated in his mind that there were about fifty or sixty machines here, but there were only more than a dozen people patrolling back and forth. It seems that a skilled hand can see four or five looms, which is amazing. Not only is this loom fast,
There are still very few employees. In the case of Nansha, if 20 female workers can be trained, plus dozens of laborers, less than 100 people can operate 100 machines. According to the introduction of the Lishan chief, according to his
To put it another way, if a machine here weaves ordinary plain weave cloth and only weaves during the day and does not work at night, it can weave about 60 meters per day. According to a rough calculation of three meters to one foot, it is twenty feet of cloth.
He knew well that a good skilled loom worker could only weave more than one foot of cloth in a day. This production efficiency is simply heaven and earth! Not to mention that in a mechanical weaving factory, one person can handle four, five, or fifty machines.
The machine lasted a day...
Chen Lin shuddered. Once this thing came out, there would be no way for homespun cloth to survive! Thinking about his own silk weaving workshop, if it could be like this...
Now his sense of crisis was getting stronger. If his second uncle, whom the whole family looked down upon, could really use the Australians' help to transform and upgrade silk weaving in this way, there would be no way for him and his third uncle to survive in the future.
We must try to regain control of the silk weaving workshop! Chen Lin thought to himself. If he can cling to the elders, so can I!
Chen Ding was not as worried as his nephew. Instead, he discussed it with Wu Yijun from time to time with great interest.
After seeing the weaving factory, the next step in production was originally the printing and dyeing factory. However, the Senate has not yet mass-produced chemical dyes, and the printing and dyeing industry has no intention of promoting it, so Lishan took them around a corner and went to the exhibition.
Pavilion.
The final destination of the tour group was the exhibition hall of the Textile Park, where handmade textile machines collected from all over the country and various textile equipment produced by Bairen Machinery Manufacturing Factory were displayed. These equipments come in different sizes and shapes.
They are all different, and it seems dazzling, and I can’t figure out what they are used for. Fortunately, there is an explanation in front of each machine, which briefly describes its specific use and production efficiency.
Finally, there is a sand table display, which shows the complete production processes of various textile enterprises and the workshop layout of related factories in the form of models, making it clear at a glance.
Chen Dingdao: "These equipments perform their own duties. When combined, they form a workshop, and when several workshops are put together, they form a factory."
"In this way, it's not much different from a workshop. It's just that the scale is large," Chen Lin said, "and it doesn't require manpower."
"Just because it doesn't require manpower, it's beyond our reach." Wu Yijun was a little worried, "I asked Brother Chen about it, and he said that these equipment would either be powered by steam engines or water turbines. He also specifically asked me about my intention."
"Steam engines need to burn boilers, and Australians say they need to use coal. It's not easy to buy." Chen Ding said, "I wonder if it's okay to burn firewood?"
"I asked, and Brother Chen said that there is no need to think about burning firewood. You have to burn coal. If it is inconvenient to buy coal, you can only use a water-powered machine."
Coal is not as widely used in Guangdong as it is in the north. Coal-producing areas are mostly in mountainous areas, and mining and transportation are inconvenient. In addition, forest resources are abundant, and charcoal is mostly used even for smelting. The only stable coal suppliers are Australians. However, the thermal coal veterans use it themselves. It’s not enough, let alone the commercial supply market.

Therefore, the so-called choice of steam engine power is just a side note. In fact, the textile mills that mainly recommend hydraulic machines are not only considering the fuel problem, but also considering the heavy maintenance work required by the steam engine power unit and the lack of technical personnel. Private factories will be difficult to maintain.
"There are many rivers in Nansha, and my family is from a wealthy family, so water is not a problem. According to Comrade Chen's words: steam engines are powerful and can carry more machines; but hydraulic engines do not use coal, so they are easier to use."
"If you don't use coal, you can save the cost of burning coal."
The three people ignored the sand table and began to calculate the cost.
When using a hydraulic machine, according to the instructions and sand table, when building a factory building, there will be a large amount of expense for the construction of channels and dams. However, although the expense is large, it is a one-time investment. Unlike a steam engine, it will not run until it is running. Burning coal every day - this does not mean burning money!
Chen Xiaobing watched them whispering around the sand table with cold eyes, knowing that these people were calculating costs. He did not disturb them and only spoke when they asked.
After the visit, Lishan invited the group to take a break at the guest house in the park.
The guest house is a small three-story brick building. Since they do not stay here overnight, they are only invited to take a rest in the lounge.
This lounge is very unique. Australian decoration styles range from gorgeous to simple. These three people have seen it to some extent, but this place is unique.
Call it traditional, but it is also a common hall decoration. It only has a four-water return hall-style patio. A pond is dug in the patio and a small rockery is set up. Under the gurgling water are more than a dozen red carps. There is a statue next to it. There is a statue of Guan Gong with his eyes closed, and there are also orange trees and pine potted plants on display.
The three of them probably understood that this was a Feng Shui arrangement to seek wealth, and they were secretly wondering. This is really rare!
This arrangement was also made after Li Shan came. The reason is because he believed in it. Zou Biao didn't take it seriously, but it was not easy to stop him, so he just let him do what he wanted.
A group of people were sitting in the hall, and a girl came out with a tea cup to serve tea. Chen Lin felt familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her before. He turned around and saw Chen Ding, who obviously felt the same way.
The girl was slightly startled when she saw them, and then covered her mouth with a tray, seemingly laughing. Before the Chen family's uncle and nephew could understand, Li Shan had already strode in.
"How was your visit, how was your visit?"
"It's an eye-opener." Wu Yijun quickly stood up and responded.
"I won't say any more polite words. These are all the leaders of the future cotton spinning mill. Will such a set of equipment be able to operate normally after it is delivered to you?"
There was a sense of questioning in these words. Fortunately, this had been discussed thoroughly before they came. Just now, based on the sand table, the three of them made some calculations.
Even though Wu Yijun is a layman, he is the strongest among the three in terms of business and communication skills. Let’s look at several key points such as how they chose the factory site, how to solve the water source problem, the sources of workers, the procurement of raw materials, and the market.
I explained them one by one. Although businessmen in this era can't make gorgeous PPTs yet, the basic ideas of business operations are still the same. Wu Yijun's words are both organized and have approximate data. Lishan can't stand it.
I nodded with admiration in my heart. Sure enough, those who dare to bid are not mediocre!
"...In this way, you are confident."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. After all, this is a big event worth tens of thousands of dollars. Since we have to rush, we must prepare everything carefully. Otherwise, we will lose money and lose the face of the Senate."
"Haha, you are really good at talking." Li Shan laughed loudly, feeling that there was a hint of threat in the middle-aged businessman's words, but this made him feel that the person coming was more serious, "No more nonsense, what do you have?
Where are you worried about? Let’s talk about it too.”
"What I'm worried about." The three people exchanged glances quickly. This is the key point.
Wu Yijun calmed down his thoughts and said: "Reporting to the chief, everything else is easy to talk about. What worries us most is that these machines are all brand new and there are no skilled craftsmen..."
With so many completely new production equipment and processes, anyone with a little common sense will know how many problems are hidden in them. Today's weavers are completely useless and have to "learn the business" from scratch.
"Your doubts are normal. After all, this is a new beginning for you." Li Shan said, "But you can rest assured that we have three years of free technical guidance in the relevant contract. With a project like cotton textile
"Three years of free technical guidance is more than enough. Machine production is not as difficult as you think."
Seeing that they still had doubts, Li Shan simply revealed his specific plan.
"Once the factory enters the civil construction stage, you will recruit workers. You will be given a specific standard for the approximate number of male and female workers and the requirements to be met. You will recruit according to this. After the recruitment is full, they will all be sent to the clinic.
Gao Lai, we are working and learning in the factory you just visited using the method of 'using the old to bring in the new'. Once the civil construction and installation are completed, they can start production as soon as they return to the factory."
"This is a good idea..." Chen Lin blurted out.
"These workers are in Lingao... room and board..."
"That's right, your workers work in the demonstration factory and receive wages and related allowances according to the treatment of apprentices here. The food and accommodation expenses will be deducted from their income."
Originally, the Planning Institute wanted the bidders to pay internship fees and room and board fees. But Lishan thought that this expense was too high, and it was also too unkind. They would give you a job for free but also subsidize your salary.
"After all, our project contract includes technical service terms, so there is no reason to ask others to collect money again. Besides, this project will take at least half a year from the beginning of civil construction to completion and production. We are equivalent to six months of cheap labor.
No loss at all.”
"The leaders are really thoughtful."
"But as a factory, modern production requires modern management, so in addition to apprentices, you will also select and send relevant managers to study according to your requirements." Li Shan smiled, "These positions require time to learn.
The meeting will be relatively long and requires a certain cultural foundation. I suggest you select suitable people to study at the university as soon as possible."
