Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1917, Are you going to be a grandfather?

It was another weekend, and Liu Jin was inspecting Daming Electric Co., Ltd. to see the operation of Daming Electric Co., Ltd.

"Liu Gong, at present, we have more than 1 households in the entire capital using electric lights, and we are still adding thousands of households every month. The power generation capacity of our power plant is likely to be insufficient in the second half of the year. market demand for electricity."

Cao Lan reported to Liu Jin the situation of Daming Electric Firm.

Since its launch, the electric light has quickly become popular in Beijing. With its brighter, more convenient, safer and many other features, it has also quickly become a new market and mainstream.

It's just because the cost of installing electric lights is too expensive. At present, only rich people can afford them.

"Well, what about the erection of the line?"

Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction. It is now March of the 3th year of Hongzhi. It has been almost 1 months since the electric light was launched at the end of last year, and the number of uses has exceeded [-] households. It is still possible.

"Currently in the Beijing area, we have achieved coverage of the whole area, and electric lights can be installed in every place in the capital."

"Many ordinary households have already applied for the installation of electric lights. The factories, businesses, and shops that consume the most electricity are factories, businesses, and businesses. Some factories have begun to implement a two-shift working system, 24 hours a day. Non-stop production."

"There are too many orders, and we can't produce them at all. The appearance of our electric lights just allows them to work overtime at night, so the factory has the most customers. Factories, large and small, come to us to install electric lights. .”

"I estimate that there will be at least hundreds of thousands of households in the capital in the future, and the power consumption will be huge. We need to add several large power plants to meet the electricity demand of the capital. "

Cao Lan has also been very busy during this period of time.

There are many things that electrical firms need to do, not only need to manage customers' electricity consumption, but also need to be busy with the production of related lamps, wires and other factories.

In addition, the electrical firm not only needs to develop in the capital, but also needs to develop in various regions of Ming Dynasty, and conduct business in major cities.

This has brought a lot of things to Daming Electric Firm. The factory needs to continue to expand production, the power plant needs to expand production, the number of employees needs to continue to increase, and employees need to be trained and so on.

There are just too many things going on.

At the same time, Liu Jin’s requirements are also very high. These businesses need to be done, but electrical related technologies also need to be developed, such as the research on electric motors. This thing is driven by electricity, which is very important. At present, there are many people working on it. Research this motor.

Many technologies related to electricity have also developed rapidly. Daming Electric Company has a special research institution, and even Liu Jin is thinking of setting up an institution of higher learning that specializes in researching electricity-related technologies and technologies. It's up to you to do it yourself.

Thinking of this, Cao Lan also looked tired. There were too many things to do, and he was a little too busy.

"Well, how is the business development in Tianjin, Songhu, Nanjing and other cities?"

Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction and asked.

"At present, we have also established branches in major cities in Ming Dynasty, and started to build power stations and erect lines in major cities here. Among them, Tianjin and Songhu are making the fastest progress. It is expected that by May, Tianjin and Songhu Songhu can start using electricity."

Cao Lan quickly replied.

Electricity, it is now the exclusive business of Daming Electric Firm, there is no other semicolon, and only Daming Electric Firm is operating in the huge market of Daming.

Although other people are also jealous of the huge profits of Daming Electric Firm, they are also powerless.

First of all, the investment in electricity is very large. It is a power plant, a circuit, and the production of electric lights, etc. A whole set of things requires a huge investment. Even if you invest in a certain field alone, you need a lot of capital.

In addition, the most important thing about this thing is technology. Without technology, you can't play with this electricity at all, which is related to the matter of talents.

All these new-style colleges and universities were basically set up by Liu Jin, and the students who graduated from the new-style schools were willing to work in the industries under Liu Jin's command.

Because the industry under Liu Jin has high wages, good benefits, and a lot of holidays, it is a proper conscientious owner, and it also pays attention to technology and innovation, so there is room for new learners to develop.

Many students who graduated from the new school have become the mainstay of Liu Jin's industry, and they are important management, technical personnel and so on.

It is not so easy for other people to go to these new schools to recruit people. Without these talents, how can they play with electricity?

Of course, this is just the beginning. The time is still short, and everyone’s understanding of electricity is not enough. With everyone’s understanding of electricity, people will gradually get involved in the fields related to electrical companies.

This is a huge industrial chain, and there are many industries that can be derived, which are enough to drive the employment of a large number of people.

Just look at the many huge industries related to electricity in later generations to know its huge potential.

Now that Daming Electric Company has exclusive access to this market, it is naturally too busy.

"Hmm~"

"We need to open branches in all large and medium-sized cities in our Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, so that more people can use electricity."

"At the same time, the most important thing is to study electricity-related technologies, to develop more powerful generators to produce more electricity, and to develop powerful transmission technologies, so that there is no need to build power plants everywhere."

"Research more electrical appliances to make electricity more widely used. At the same time, we must pay attention to safety and popularize electrical knowledge and skills."

Liu Jin nodded, and gave Cao Lan the guidance and direction for the future development of the electrical firm.

Electricity is big business.

In future generations, our electricity is all run by the state. Many people may not feel how profitable it is, but it is privately owned abroad. It is often an extremely important asset and will not be transferred or sold easily.

This Daming has developed in the future, and if this Daming Electric Firm can occupy a large share of the huge market of Daming, it will continue to earn wealth for itself in the future.

Electricity, that is, the initial investment is very large. It is necessary to assume lines, invest in power stations, etc., but after these are completed, you can slowly collect money in the future.

This is similar to a natural water plant, with very stable income and no risk. The key is to buy and sell for a long time. This kind of business is everyone's favorite business.

"Yes, Mr. Liu~"

Cao Lan also nodded solemnly.

Liu Jin has always been able to look forward and propose the direction of development. If it is replaced by other people, it is estimated that what he is thinking now is how to have more users. After all, the installation fee for a user is quite expensive. It is the installation fee that makes a lot of money.

But Liu Jin is different. He pays attention to the layout of the big picture, pays attention to the development of technology and technology, and lays out for the future, rather than being limited to everything in the present.

This is also the reason why many industries under Liu Jin's command can always develop rapidly. Because the layout is large enough, and the application of new machines and technologies is emphasized, as well as talents, all industries can develop rapidly.

Coupled with the fact that Daming itself was caught in the wind of capitalism and colonialism at this moment, it naturally flew up.

After inspecting the electrical firm, Liu Jin also slowly returned to his home.

The present day is still very good.

Daming was flourishing day by day, there were few things to worry about, and every morning even reached the point where there was nothing to discuss.

There is no way, this Ming Dynasty does not mean that the weather is really smooth, there are still many disasters every year, whether it is earthquakes, floods, droughts, locust plagues and so on.

However, all kinds of disasters now have less and less influence on Daming. Daming has vast land, many grain-producing areas, high-yield crops, a large number of railways, road traffic, and cars.

Even if a once-in-a-hundred-year drought occurs in a place, the court can quickly mobilize food to the past. Even if the people in the famine land do nothing, they can sit and eat for a few years.

Years of famines are not a big problem. After all, there are many high-yielding crops. Sweet potatoes and corn are hardy. Even carrying water with your shoulders can meet their growth needs.

What's more important is that the provinces of Liaodong, Hezhong, Heitu, and Nanyang in Ming Dynasty have a large grain output, transportation is becoming more and more convenient, and there are more and more factories. The common people have jobs and do not worry about food. Nothing will happen.

As soon as Liu Jin, who lived comfortably in his childhood, came home, Li Zhen brought Chen Xue and Liu Da over and said, "Master, I have good news for you, you are going to be a grandfather."

"what?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.

Is this going to be a grandpa?
I'm only under forty, so I'm about to become a grandfather.

"I just discovered it this morning, and the doctor said it's been 2 months."

"How about we let Chen Xue leave for South Africa after giving birth in the capital, and stay in the capital for a while?"

Seeing Liu Jin slightly surprised, Li Zhen also said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, stay longer, wait until the child is born, and talk about it after the child is born."

Liu Jin came back to his senses, nodded his head in agreement, and then said, "Chen Xue, sit down, sit down, don't be tired."

"Yes, father-in-law~"

Chen Xue sat down obediently, and now she looked happy.
