Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 353, the power of the machine
"Nothing is impossible, come in and have a look."

Hearing what the two of them said, Liu Jin smiled and waved his hand.

Wang Shouren, Wang Gui, and Wang Xian were immediately very curious, and followed Liu Jin into the factory building.

Liu Jin's factory building is very spacious. Two rows of opposing machines extend down to a length of more than [-] feet. Brand-new and brand-new machines are running continuously. Next to each machine are There are a few workers who are very skillful and relaxed.

There is a big frame behind every worker, and people are constantly replenishing them with raw materials or transporting semi-finished products to another factory.

The whole factory building looks very clean and tidy, and at the same time it is very bright and spacious. More importantly, it gives people a sense of order.

"These machines?"

Wang Shouren's eyes were fixed on the machine, because he knew that Liu Jin was using a new type of spinning machine and loom.

These new spinning machines of Liu Jin are basically made of iron and firmly fixed on the ground. These machines are also very large and wide, and one machine can be compared to several traditional spinning machines. machine, loom.

The machinery also looks very complicated, consisting of many parts, all kinds of machinery are connected and interact with each other, giving people an extremely shocking feeling when they work.

Next to the machine, there are people who are dedicated to stepping on the machine, stepping on the machine hard, providing a steady stream of power for the machine, and driving the operation of each machine.

There are female textile workers who continuously stretch and weave balls of cotton onto the machine. With the operation of the machine, a large number of shuttles rotate continuously, and at the same time, cotton threads continue to appear, forming a beautiful landscape, which is rolled by the machine. After the ball of cotton thread is big enough, a weaver takes the dough and puts it in the next basket.

Looking at the operation of the machines in front of him, Wang Shouren was stunned. Compared with Liu Jin's spinning machines, although the spinning machines and looms in his factory were brand new and brand new, they were old and scum.

They are all made of wood, and when they are working, they make teeth-stinging sounds. The key point is that this speed is as slow as a snail compared with the machine in front of you, and there is no comparison at all.

Not only Wang Shouren was dumbfounded, but also Wang Gui and Wang Xian, two veterans in the textile industry, were also dumbfounded at this time. They had never seen anyone spinning like this before, and they had never seen this kind of spinning machine. have not seen.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see the power of this machine. With the rotation of the machine, the cotton thread is spun continuously, and the speed is amazing.

At this time, both of them couldn't help but came to the side of the machine, looked at it carefully, widened their eyes, and looked at it in disbelief.

"It's amazing that there is such an ingenious spinning machine~"

Wang Gui sighed while watching.

"Unbelievable~unbelievable~"

Wang Xian also nodded and said.

As for Liu Jin, he looked at everything in front of him with a smile on his face. The current machines can only be regarded as the most elementary, the production efficiency is very average, and they are still manpower. His next step is to develop hydraulic spinning machines and weaving machines. The cloth machine comes out, because there is a river next to it, and I am sorry for this favorable condition if I don’t make good use of it.

Of course, the hydraulic spinning machine is nothing, and the steam spinning machine will eventually be produced, but Liu Jin does not intend to do it in one step, but chooses to do it step by step. This spinning machine and loom, Liu Jin also intends to Selling, selling machines is more profitable than spinning and weaving.

Moreover, upgrading from generation to generation can not only earn money but also train your own research and development team. Now the establishment of the Beijing Spinning Mill is just to set an example for everyone, so that everyone can see the power of the new machine, which is tantamount to advertising .

Liu Jin's real purpose is to sell machines. In the final analysis, Liu Jin still wants to export technology, not products. Product export should be done by these emerging capitalists in Daming.

"Now I finally understand why, Brother Liu, the output of your textile factory can be more than ten times that of my factory. With such a machine, spinning and weaving become too simple."

After watching it, Wang Shouren couldn't help sighing.

"Haha, Brother Wang, I'm sorry. The reason why we humans are different from animals is because we humans have brains, we are good at thinking, and we are good at using everything."

"It's as if we humans don't have sharp claws, but we can create sharp swords, so even if we face a tiger, we can still defeat it."

"The same is true for spinning machines and looms. They can't weave much cloth in a day just relying on our manual strength, but we can use the power of machines to continuously improve machines and create more powerful machines. to replace us, and weave more cloth."

Being able to get the praise of Wang Shouren, Liu Jin is also very fulfilling, and then he also popularized the power of machines to Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren listened carefully to Liu Jin's words, and after listening for a while, he nodded solemnly. It is true that as Liu Jin said, people can't outrun horses, and they don't have the sharp claws of ferocious beasts, but people can tame horses. Kill beasts with bows, arrows, swords, etc.

This is the role of wisdom, people are good at using everything.

Faintly, Wang Shouren seemed to realize something, and also seemed to see the dawn of a brand new world.

"Mr. Liu, I wonder if you can sell us some of these machines?"

At this time, Wang Xian and Wang Gui had come to their senses, came to Liu Jin and Wang Shouren's side, thought for a while and said.

"Of course you can~"

Liu Jin smiled and agreed, but he didn't expect Lao Wang to be his first customer.

"Brother Liu, how much does this machine cost?"

Seeing Liu Jin readily agree, Wang Shouren, Wang Gui and Wang Xian immediately laughed happily, and asked Wang Shouren after thinking about it.

"This kind of machine originally cost six hundred taels of silver, but if you sell it to you, Brother Wang, you can give it five hundred taels."

Liu Jin thought for a while and reported a number. The cost of this kind of machine is actually not high, a few dozen taels of silver is enough, but Liu Jin is not stupid and only sells it for a few tens of taels of silver.

The machine needs to be upgraded, and I have to support a large number of skilled workers and masters, and I also need to make a profit, etc. Huge profits are definitely necessary, and selling for ten times the price is considered a conscience price.

"One set of five hundred taels of silver?"

When Wang Xian heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, it's too expensive, this machine is too expensive."

"But it's too expensive. Ordinary spinning machines are very cheap. If you ask a carpenter to do it, one tael of silver is enough. You need five hundred taels of silver for one machine, which is indeed too expensive."

Wang Gui also followed suit.

"Brother Liu, give me twenty of these machines first~"

Wang Shouren placed an order for [-] units directly. He saw the value of this machine. Although the price was very expensive, it was definitely worth the money. The production efficiency of one such machine was ten times that of traditional ordinary machines. several times.

"Good~"

Seeing that Wang Shouren placed an order for [-] machines in one gulp, Liu Jin laughed happily. The textile factory has just started operating, and the order for this machine has just come.

It seems that it is necessary for me to set up a separate machine factory to specialize in the research and production of various machines, and to make money by selling the machines.

When the spinning mill starts large-scale shipments, there will definitely be a steady stream of people looking for him, and those who smell blood will definitely not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.

"Brother Wang, come, let me show you my loom~"

After selling the spinning machine, it was natural to sell the loom as well, so he took Wang Shouren and the others to another factory building, which was dedicated to weaving.

It is also a large-scale machine, with various equipment running continuously, balls of cotton thread are constantly shuttled, and pieces of cloth are continuously spun and formed.

Looking at the machine in front of them and the cloth spun at a speed visible to the naked eye, Wang Shouren, Wang Gui, and Wang Xian widened their eyes again, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

Not surprisingly, Liu Jin once again received a batch of orders for looms. The combined orders for spinning machines and looms amounted to almost [-] taels of silver. start.

"Brother Liu, why don't you put the spinning machine and the loom together?"

"And brother Liu, I just took a closer look and found that in your factory, each employee seems to only do one thing. What's the reason for that?"

After talking about the business, Liu Jin accompanied Wang Shouren to wander around the entire textile factory. Wang Shouren's insight was amazing, and he quickly discovered something different about Liu Jin's textile factory.

In Wang Shouren's textile factory, an employee has to do many things, such as spinning and weaving, but Liu Jin's factory is different. An employee only does one thing.

Just spinning can be divided into more than a dozen processes and steps, and each employee only does one of these more than a dozen processes and steps, and will never do two things at the same time.

Wang Shouren discovered this very sharply, so he asked Liu Jin for advice very puzzled.

"This is called assembly line work. To manufacture one thing, we can split it into many steps and processes, and each employee only does one of the processes and steps. In this way, not only can the production speed be greatly improved, but also can be improved. The quality of production, because it can become more proficient in doing one thing.”

Liu Jin couldn't help giving Wang Shouren a thumbs up in his heart. A good man is a good man. He discovered this matter after just reading it, and after thinking about it, he chatted with him with a smile.

　Is it not good for Lao Wang to become a capitalist?
