Chapter 2543 Guangzhou Textile Market ([-])

Chen Lin thought that you took it for granted. If the family is short of labor, it is a good thing to save a female labor. The problem is that there are not many families that need a lot of labor, and most of the spinning does not take up labor time during the day. It's a side job at night.

Farmers are mostly engaged in weaving as a "sideline business". Unlike professional machinists in cities who rely on weaving all day long, their working hours will change with the seasons.Do more during the slack season, less or even no work during the busy season.

If it is replaced by the fashionable term of the old time and space, this is all "fragmented" time.

Chen Lin did not express any objection. Although the internship team lacked social experience, technology is the main core of the textile factory at present, and it is inconvenient to disobey their words in person.

As for the matter of collecting cotton, it is up to him to make plans.Fortunately, my family has a ready-made cocoon harvesting network in various counties of Guangzhou Prefecture, and I can also try to entrust them to harvest cotton...

While thinking about countermeasures, Chen Xiaobing brought a letter with a smile: "Your letter!"

The letter was not sent by the newly established "Dasong Post Office", but "Qiwei Special Delivery".This kind of special delivery is fast and safe, but the price is very expensive, and it is mostly used for sending important letters and small items such as contract certificates between merchants.

Chen Lin took the envelope and saw a red stamp stamped on it. The letter came from Guangzhou.

"It arrived this morning. It was probably sent to you by a certain elder in Guangzhou."

"I don't know any elders in Guangzhou." Chen Lin muttered, "It should belong to Mr. Wu."

When I opened it, there was an invitation card and a letter inside.

Open the invitation card, which is the "Guangzhou Wanguo Textile Market Opening Ceremony Invitation Letter", inviting him to attend the ceremony.Opening the letter again, it was indeed written by my cousin Wu Yijun.It turned out that this invitation was sent by the old Li Shan Li who was in charge of receiving them when they visited Lingao.

The term "textile market" seems strange and familiar. Although it belongs to the scope of "Newspeak", the general meaning is still clear. The addition of "Wan Guo" in front of it means that foreign merchants can also come to buy and sell goods, right?
Although he didn't quite understand the purpose of the Senate to open such a market in Guangzhou, he dared not neglect the invitation of the elders anyway.Now pack up your luggage and prepare to go to Guangzhou.Since the first phase of the construction of the cotton textile factory has been completed, the practice group also needs to go back to make a report, so a few people will travel together.

After a two-day voyage, Li Shan also arrived in Guangzhou City.He came here at the beginning of the restoration of Guangzhou, but the purpose at that time was to investigate the situation in the big world——at that time he was already considering opening a market with the big world.

But after seeing the situation in the big world, he felt that this place was not appropriate.Because the big world is more inclined to the retail format, and what he wants to engage in is actually a "trading market" for factories, wholesalers and suppliers.This kind of market not only needs convenient transportation, but also needs large-scale storage facilities, and it cannot be operated with only a facade.

At that time, Guangzhou was full of waste, and his project in the light textile market was naturally ignored.It was not until more than a year ago that this project passed the approval review of Guangzhou City and started construction.

Although the textile market is essentially of the nature of "government setting up the stage, attracting investment and performing operas".But the philosophy of the Senate is to spend as little money as possible, so the textile market is actually a mixed shareholding system.Guangzhou City Assets Company is the largest shareholder, and local wealthy businessmen and gentry have more or less invested.

After Li Shan got off the boat, he went straight to the big world.Lingao is not an ideal textile base. As a "spinner", the focus of work will gradually shift to Guangzhou in the future.

Of course, as a metropolis in the future, Guangzhou will use every inch of land and gold, so it would be wasteful to use it for production, but it has natural advantages for trade.Taking advantage of the cheap land prices now, enclosing land as soon as possible has become the primary goal of Li and Zou.So Zou Biao set up an office in the big world early on to house his team.

As soon as Li Shan entered Zou Biao's office, he saw this partner was unhappy, and joked:

"You don't owe me money, and I don't owe you money. Why do you put on a bitter face all day long?"

Zou Biao let out a long sigh: "The air spinning technology pre-research plan you mentioned has been sent back to the Planning Institute."

Li Shan went over and patted his shoulder lightly, and asked: "Don't be too sad, air spinning was considered relatively high-end in the old time and space, I think it's normal that the Planning Institute doesn't pass it."

"After hearing what you said about air spinning, I went to look for drawings and technical materials, and found that it is not very difficult to do. You must know that in the old time and space, our country started from the principle research in 1958, and it began to be applied to industrial production in 1967. .On the whole, air spinning is also a general direction.”

In Lingao, although the older the technology, the easier it is to copy, but some technologies are not more suitable for imitation than the older they are.Just like the Jenny machine and the spindle machine, it is actually not suitable for the high-rise environment.

Air spinning is also called rotor spinning. Under the same energy consumption, air spinning has the characteristics of high output, large package, short process, and wide spinning range: it can spin cotton and linen wool, and it has good spinnability when spinning low-grade cotton and waste waste. , which is obviously a model of how fast, efficient and economical it is under the conditions of high altitude.

If 20S cotton yarn is spun, the output of air spinning is 60-85kg/thousand spindles, which is 1-2 times that of ring spinning, and even 3-4 times in some cases.There is less outflow of flying flowers, and the floor space is low. It also completely solves the problem of ring and traveler wear and burning in the ring spinning process.The required workers are 30% of the ring spinning, and the occupied area is reduced by 25%.The old time and space can only be used for low-to-medium count weaving, and the shortcomings of the thick yarn are placed on the advantages of Lingao. The woven fabric is fluffy, wear-resistant, and has good warmth retention.Moreover, sails are generally low-count and multi-strand, and the demand for sails will be large in the foreseeable future.

At present, the cotton supply of the Senate is tight, and it is all short-fiber cotton with relatively poor quality. Air spinning is obviously the most suitable process for the Senate's own fabric needs.It’s not that Zou Biao can’t reproduce one. You must know that rotor spinning was invented in 1937, and the old time and space have basically mastered this technology. Zou Biao said that he is confident that he can create a spinning machine that can be used for Air spinning line for industrial production.

"Look at what you said, if we want to have the industrial capacity of 1958, we still have to sweep the world." Li Shan said, "Don't have to say, all-electric drive, let alone your equipment can't be installed in Guangzhou. It can't even be installed at Lingao."

"That's right, the Planning Institute also answered me in the same way, saying that I want a small production line as a technical reserve for pre-research and they support it, and there is no way for full-scale mass production."

"That's fine! Anyway, I've approved you for pre-research. You can still go on the production line."

"But this production line can only be placed in Lingao."

"That's not sure. After you have the equipment in three years, maybe Guangzhou will have electricity."

"Alas..." Zou Biao sighed again.

"Okay, don't rush to become fat all day long. We only have this foundation, what else can we do. Let's use the old technology first." Li Shan said indifferently, thinking of the cotton spinning factory in Nansha, "Demonstration factory..."

"The progress is pretty smooth." Zou Biao said, "Trial production has been carried out recently, and the operation is stable."

"This is great!" Li Shan's spirit was lifted, "It's a pity that we can only spin! The second phase must be launched as soon as possible."

"It's easy to get on a horse, but it's hard to find cotton." Zou Biao said, "To be honest, I have such great hopes for this textile market, and I also hope that the source of textile raw materials will be attracted here..."

"Establish a cotton exchange!" Li Shan got excited.

"Yes, not only cotton, but all textiles and textile raw materials!" Zou Biao, despite being a mechanical engineer, has a strong interest in the market. Bonds and stocks, we can also engage in futures in the future.”

Li Shan is not as optimistic as he is. Among the four main textile materials, silk and wool are the easiest to solve.Not only the source of goods is extensive, but also the supply is stable.The prospect of the textile market is also good.

There is no shortage of local raw materials for hemp materials, and the market is limited.Based on the current technical level of the Senate, it is impossible to make high-grade worsted linen.Therefore, the linen that can be produced at this stage is not as comfortable to wear as cotton, and most of the linen is used to make sails and ropes.

The biggest problem is the supply of cotton. The news from the overseas dispatch stations is not optimistic. Whether the cotton supply in the north can be stable is a big question mark.

Songjiang has a well-developed handmade cotton spinning industry, but a large proportion of clean cotton needs to be imported from outside, mostly in Shandong, Hebei and other places.However, the development of the industry means that the vested forces entrenched in it are very strong, from raw cotton to spinning to all kinds of textile package purchases are monopolized by various companies.It seemed difficult for the Senate to snatch food from them. It was difficult to form a stable source of cotton before Songjiangbu was crushed, but without a stable source of cotton, it was difficult to defeat Songjiangbu. This formed a contradiction.

The distribution of local cotton in Guangdong is quite extensive, but few are planted on a large scale, and limited by the climate, the output is also very impressive.

As for the major cotton producing areas abroad in the old time and space, no matter whether it is the United States, Egypt or Turkey, cotton planting has not yet started in this time and space.Only India can be called a large-scale cotton planting industry.

Of course, there are other ways. If chemical fibers are produced, the demand for cotton can be reduced, and 66% or 33% blended cotton fabrics can be made.But this is all just thinking about it. The petrochemical industry is overwhelmed with demand. It is not clear when it will be the turn of the light textile industry. What's more, it is not that cotton is not needed after the emergence of chemical fiber. Maybe it will be due to market factors. Increase the demand again.

Li Shan has blown out the cowhide, and getting stable cotton is still his biggest worry at the moment.After all, he is bewitching other people's machines everywhere. If there is no cotton to weave, not only himself, but also the credibility of the Senate will plummet.
