Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 237 Electric Kiln
Master Sanmazi smiled and said to the people who came over, "Boss Zhang, these are some of our fellow villagers from Liaoning. I brought them from Changda to purchase ceramics.

Li Guanglin walked in front of the three of them.The boss shook hands with him warmly and said, welcome.

After being polite, Li Guanglin said, "Boss Zhang, that's it. The three of us came to Tangshan specially this time, mainly to lead the company. We wanted to come and inspect the entire bone china market in Tangshan, see more about the production factories, and then report back the information. Go back to the company as a reference.

The tricycle master went out after speaking.Boss Zhang ordered others to make tea for them, and said, it’s okay, you can also take a look at our factory.What is your company's main business?
Li Guanglin said, mainly domestic sales.Our company has ready-made high-end hotel channels, and wants to increase the ceramic business this year.

Boss Zhang said, we also have hotel porcelain.He said to the few people over there who were still playing cards, please keep your voice down.Kobayashi, go find some samples and come here, hurry up.

Hehe, I was on the road just now, and my fellow villagers said that your factory has a complete range of products, and they specially pulled us here.Li Guanglin took a sip of water and said with a smile, it's just that your factory doesn't look very big, does it?

Boss Zhang smiled and said, although our factory is smaller, it also depends on who we compare it with.Among the small and medium-sized production plants in Tangshan, our scale can be regarded as acceptable.

Li Guanglin continued drinking tea.Boss Zhang went on to say, although our place is smaller, the variety, specifications and quality of our production are not inferior to their big factories at all.Of course, in terms of price, service, etc., we are even slightly better than them.

Li Guanglin put on a show and said with a smile, then let's go to your workshop first?
Boss Zhang said, no problem.Let's look at the exhibition hall first, and then go to the workshop.The showroom is next door.

The exhibition hall is arranged in a very similar way.Although the area is small, it can be seen that it has been professionally designed and produced.Sure enough, as soon as Boss Zhang opened his mouth, he said that this exhibition hall was specially designed and constructed by an advertising company in Beijing.

Then Boss Zhang personally took them into the production workshop to visit.The molding workshops are roughly the same, but the area is much smaller than the size of the workers.The same is that this factory also has a lot of idle machines.

Wang Liping asked, Boss Zhang, why are so many machines stopped?

Boss Zhang is very straightforward. To be honest, there are no orders now, and I dare not make too many stocks.To be honest, when the business was good a few years ago, we were actually reluctant to do it in the domestic market.

Li Guanglin asked, why is the domestic market unwilling to do it?

Ha ha, the main thing is still troublesome.Boss Zhang said that the export orders are all handled by the import and export company. We just need to manage the production and deliver the goods on time and with quality and quantity. Don’t worry.On the contrary, it is a domestic customer, not to mention, sometimes there is a problem with asking for money, which is unfavorable.

Wang Liping said that the current general environment is like this, and it is not easy to export.

Boss Zhang said, yes.It is different now, there are very few export orders, and our factory has no domestic channels, so now we are only doing inventory.In fact, we are all thinking whether this difficult period has passed, and whether the good days of export will come back.

Li Guanglin thought for a while, and said, it will take quite a while to count on the good days of this exit, which is very difficult.

Boss Zhang said, it is difficult.Now we do ceramics, it is very difficult.Didn't you also go to Changda Ceramics just now? They are even more sad now, and there is almost no place to store their stocks.

He said that not many of the ceramic factories in Tangshan are living a good life. Basically, they are either resting or struggling to see who can last till the end.

Then there is the bisque firing workshop.What Wang Yiyuan and the others did not expect was that here they actually saw another brand new way of bisque firing of ceramics.Unlike the biscuit firing method of Changda Company, which uses natural gas as fuel, this factory uses the method of biscuit firing in electric kilns with individual monomers of different sizes.

Simply put, this kind of electric kiln uses electricity as the energy source, uses electric heating wires as the heating element, and relies on the principles of electric energy radiation and heat conduction for firing.This method is controlled by an electronic program, and the operation looks much simpler and more convenient than that of a tunnel kiln. Of course, there is no such rumbling sound in the workshop.

Wang Yiyuan was particularly curious about this new thing, and the electric kiln and its firing method aroused his great interest.He glanced at Wang Liping, then pointed at the kilns.

Wang Liping understood and asked a lot of questions about this kiln and the comparison between the kiln and the natural gas tunnel kiln.Boss Zhang answered every question, and the answers were very detailed.After going back and forth like this, finally Wang Yiyuan roughly understood the difference and mystery between the two.

After seeing the production workshop, Li Guanglin didn't bring out the samples to offer a quotation to Boss Zhang. Instead, he talked politely with him, took the samples from their company, and left on the grounds that he had to report back to the unit.Boss Zhang kept sending the three of them to the gate.

Surprisingly, the tricycle master was still waiting for them beside the gate.Seeing the three of them coming out, he immediately came over to talk to him, big brother, is the talk over?

Hearing that there is no final decision, the master suggested that in this way, you can go to the ceramic market, and there are many places that sell ceramics to choose and see.

Li Guanglin smiled and said, we are not very familiar with Tangshan.Brother, do you think there is a concentrated place for selling bone china, like the ceramic market?

The master said, yes, yes.Not very far from here, there is a big road called Gangyao Road, where almost all ceramics are sold.Basically, as long as there is a small-scale factory in Tangshan, they will have stores there.You can go and have a look.

Li Guanglin said, that's it, you pull us over.How much is the car?
There are no buses in this village, so I'm just waiting here for you to come out.The tricycle master smiled honestly and said, Ha ha, don't worry, you won't spend more money.

Li Guanglin looked at him without saying a word.The master said, that’s still ten yuan, I’m going there anyway, I’m going home for lunch, so I’ll drop by and pick you up.

Maybe he was rushing home, but the master drove very fast this time.Wang Yiyuan said loudly with some worry, the road is not easy to walk, please drive slowly, master, safety is the most important thing.
