Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 347
Wang Liping had just finished calling the factory when her cell phone rang again.When she picked it up, it turned out that the reserved car had already arrived at the hotel, and the driver asked them when they could leave.

The four quickly finished their breakfast, met the driver at the entrance of the hotel, got in the car and drove directly to the first candidate factory.

This is a green Haval H2. The internal space is a bit small, and five people can be crammed in at once. Wang Liping is fine in the co-pilot seat, but it is obviously crowded with three big men in the back seat.

The factory is located in Zhengzhuangzi Town, near Fengrun District, in a small village called Liuzhuang.The car crossed the Hebei Bridge and went straight along Yinhe Road, turned a corner next to the town government, passed through a wide farmland and a railway bridge, and finally stopped in front of a slightly remote courtyard.

Four people got out of the car.Wang Yiyuan moved his body and joked that I sat in the middle seat for more than an hour, and I could only sit upright halfway, and actually only sat on half of my buttocks in the seat.

There are crop fields all around here, because it is winter, there is nothing on the black soil, and there is only gray and withered color everywhere.The factory stood alone in a wilderness, looking a little lonely and secluded.

The gate of the factory was closed tightly, and no sound could be heard from outside.Wang Yiyuan took a closer look and found that the smokestack was emitting fine smoke, indicating that someone should be inside.

Wang Liping called again.After a while, the factory gate creaked open, and a tall, solid middle-aged woman came to open the door.When she saw Wang Liping, she smiled and said, Xiao Wang, Chinese New Year is coming soon, why don't you rest?
After being introduced, Wang Yiyuan knew that this middle-aged woman was the owner of the ceramics factory. Her surname was Wei, and Wang Liping called her Sister Wei.

Sister Wei looks about [-] or [-] years old, but she seems to be older, especially her mental health is not good, she looks very tired and haggard.It's winter, but she doesn't wear a lot, even a pair of fur slippers on her feet.

After being polite to each other, Sister Wei led everyone towards the workshop while introducing them.

She said, I haven't been to the factory for a while.Hearing that you are coming, I came here to light a fire to warm up the office, so we can sit down and chat.

The factory yard looks quite large, but the real workshop area is not very large, and there is no obvious distinction between the various workshops, it seems rather scattered, and there is no order and rules at all.

There is a thick layer of dust on the machinery and equipment, and they have not been cleaned and cleaned. It can be clearly seen that the workshop should not have started work for a long time.It seems that the factory mainly made white porcelain in the past, and there were scattered ceramics everywhere on the ground.

Several people walked and watched in the workshop, inspecting all of them.

The inside of the workshop is particularly cold because it has not been produced for a long time.Sister Wei invited everyone to sit in the office, saying that it was warm inside.

So go to the office.It is said to be an office, but it is actually a room built along the trend of the wall at the end of the workshop.It was much warmer when I walked in, not only the stove had just been lit, but the electric heater was also on.

The office had just been cleaned, and several people sat down looking for seats.Sister Wei made a cup of green tea for everyone.

Holding a hot teacup, Wang Liping asked, Sister Wei, what a good factory, why don't you just stop doing it?
Sister Wei said, it's hard to say.Originally, I planned to hold on to it again.But the family owed a lot of famine, and there was no direction for the next business, so I had no choice but to let go.

It turned out that Sister Wei was the daughter-in-law of the village where the factory was located.She has been working in Six Porcelain Factory since she graduated from junior high school.A few years ago, the No. [-] Porcelain Factory was restructured, and her former leader opened a ceramics factory by herself, and she and a few workers went to help.

Later, the business of this ceramics factory was very good, and the production was simply too busy. Sister Wei took this opportunity to go out and do it alone, and the ceramics produced were exclusively supplied to this ceramics factory.In this way, from nothing to the current scale, it can be regarded as a small achievement.

But what Cheng didn't expect was that her husband was diagnosed with liver cancer the year before last, and he spent all of the family's money. After less than a year of treatment in Beijing, the money was gone, but he still couldn't save his life.In addition, since last year, the previous business has not been very good, so the factory has been procrastinating until now.

Sister Wei said that the workshop here was the oil workshop of the original production team, and it was originally a place for squeezing peanut oil.Later, because I needed a place to start a factory, I contracted the oil workshop and the surrounding land and rebuilt it into the current factory building.

She said that although the workshop area is not very large, everything related to ceramic production is still available.

Master Zhang said, oh, we also saw the products you made just now, mainly such things as cups and small plates, all of which are machine-made products.You don't have any mechanical objects here that have anything to do with pressure grouting?
Sister Wei said that because there has never been an order, we really cannot produce pressure grouting here.But if you want to do it, you can add a set of pressure grouting equipment, and it won't cost much.

Master Zhang asked, you use electricity here, and you also use an electric kiln. How many cubic meters are they?

Sister Wei replied that there are a total of three kilns, two for biscuit firing, each with two cubic meters;

Master Zhang asked again, you use electricity here. Is the electricity enough? How big is the transformer?

Sister Wei opened the window, pointed to the tall transformer on the pole outside the fence, and introduced that it was a 120 transformer.However, if you feel that the electricity is not enough, you can still go to the power bureau to apply for a transformer with a higher power.

Master Zhang said, I see that your two electric kilns for bisque firing look relatively new.

Sister Wei explained that the two kilns were not used much after they were built.Originally, it was planned to do a big job, but who would have thought that so many things would happen in the past two years?One piece after another, I was completely stunned, and now I have no intention of making ceramics.

Wang Liping said, Sister Wei, you are not easy, but you are still very strong.It's just that the factory is vacant like this, isn't it a solution?

Sister Wei said that it has been vacant for about half a year.In the first half of the year, work has been started one after another, but the production is all stock of some conventional parts.Because everyone is doing it, not to mention the low price, because of vicious competition, they can’t be sold, and they are basically still piled up in the warehouse.
