Chapter 399 What Can You Sell?

"Then I'll bring the timber."

"I can bring lead. And Japanese lead."

Japanese lead is zinc, which is widely used in industry.Especially galvanized steel sheet, commonly known as tinplate.It has the advantages of not easy to rust and corrosion.It can be used to make roofing, roll pipes and various containers.very useful.

Here, Xiong Buyou took the time to negotiate a deal with a deerskin seller.I know from his mouth that he often goes to Dayuan Port in Taiwan to buy buckskins from the Dutch, and then sells them to Southeast Asia.Except for the salvage fee, all his goods this time were requisitioned by the Planning Commission.Sun Xiao specially greeted Xiong Buyou, and it is best to develop this person into a regular supplier of deerskin.

Buckskin is one of the most sought-after animal leathers in East and Southeast Asia, and the distribution of buckskin has even become a special business.Although the traversers don't know why deerskin is so popular, they also need this kind of leather to manufacture indispensable transmission belts in industry.

The atmosphere infected people who were not interested in the surrounding area, and everyone inquired about what items were needed here and could be sold for cash.For these small businessmen, although going to Bacheng to do business overseas can make huge profits, in the end they have to travel across the sea and travel for several years, which is dangerous and full of unknown factors.It's much easier to come to Lingao. Although the income is less, you can run several times a year, and the danger is less, so it's still a good deal.

His life was saved, his money was largely guaranteed, and there were still opportunities to make money in the future.The group of small businessmen who were fighting frantically a few days ago are now in a much better mood.Everyone was eager to return home, and they asked whether there were any ships in the port returning to Qiongshan or Guangzhou recently.

"Gaoguang Shipping Co., Ltd. has released tickets to Qiongshan and Guangzhou. There are discounts for consignment of goods, and packaging for customers. The [-]-material ship is not bumpy. The senior bodyguards of the Wei Bodyguard Bureau will escort you all the way, so that you and your goods can rest easy. ——"

As the salesmen of Gaoguang Shipping Co., Ltd. held paper tube speakers and yelled provocatively, merchants who received the goods flocked to buy tickets and check in.It is also part of the reform of the maritime system that the navy will no longer send ships to escort the victims home.In the future, all such matters will be handled by the "Gaoguang Shipping Company" with a folk color.Those who take the boat buy their own tickets.

There are also unlucky people who lost all their cargo and left nothing in their hands. Their tickets were paid by the Civil Affairs Committee.Charity was originally one of the jobs of the civil affairs department.

There are a few small merchants who have nothing at all, and they simply stay in Lingao. Tang Zheng is one of these small merchants. He has a small capital, and what he sells are coarse porcelain tile jars, half of which were destroyed when the ship ran aground. , When the pirates boarded the ship to rob, they destroyed all the rest-the pirates suspected that there were valuable goods hidden in it.

Tang Zheng, who had put all his belongings into this overseas adventure, was completely desperate, because part of the capital was borrowed from relatives and neighbors, and now he was bankrupt, even though the Australians bought the boat tickets on behalf of them, they were still willing to pay He was ashamed to return home after paying for the money. He heard that Australians were recruiting everywhere, and the salary was good, so he simply stayed.

The surviving sailors on the five-masted ship participated in a mobilization meeting hosted by Li Haiping, and most of them were finally mobilized to join the navy.The remaining Yumin committee members who were resolutely unwilling were responsible for buying tickets for them to go home.The fire chief of the five-masted ship who was injured in the pirate attack received special preferential treatment, and has recovered to health after careful treatment at the Bairen General Hospital.In addition to being able to take a boat back to Qiongshan County for free, they were also rewarded with some small items.In addition, Xiong Buyou also prepared four-color gifts and a letter, asking him to pass them on to the owner and cargo owner of the five-masted ship——Hai Shuzu, a gentry from Qiongshan County.

After hearing the results of this process, Wen Desi asked: "I am very much in favor of attracting businessmen to come to Gao to do business. But is there any pressure on our payment status? Since the establishment of Delong Bank in Guangzhou, the return of silver has been very important. Much less. I'm afraid I don't have enough reserves."

Foreign merchants definitely don't need negotiable notes, and they need real money to pay, just like the purchase of goods from small merchants this time.

"There is not much pressure. These traders are all low-value products. Our current silver reserves are sufficient. For large payments, we can use Delong's money order. The Delong Bank in Guangzhou will accept it." Yan Ming reported. .

"Mr. Wen, don't worry. Even if you pay real money, I'm sorry they won't be able to bring Lingao!" Mo Xiaoan said confidently.

"What are you going to do?" Wen Desi looked at him suspiciously.Mo Xiaoan knew that he misunderstood what he meant, so he quickly explained:

"I mean, let them exchange money for goods again, so that there is no need for silver or not-it is equivalent to barter trade."

"Does the Ministry of Light Industry have this ability? If you want to sell it to others, you don't have to!" Wen Desi expressed doubts.It was quite difficult to impress Chinese consumers in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.At that time, the materials that could be exported to China on a large scale from overseas were dry goods such as shark fin, bird's nest, and sea cucumber, in addition to gold and silver.Or some special local products.

Judging from day D to now, the only bulk export materials that the Traveling Group can export are salt and sugar.

"No problem." Mo Xiaoan said.Now they have successfully trial-produced a variety of products, and are now expanding the plant and adding equipment, and will soon be able to form a mass production capacity for a variety of products.

"Okay, it depends on you." Wen Desi said, "Our current bulk commodity exports have a problem of single varieties, and we rely too much on luxury goods and exports of sweet and salty. Such an export situation is very unhealthy. Vigorously develop The export of light industrial products is the focus at this stage. You need to spend more time on the development of new products. You must take into account different market needs--exports to Southeast Asia, Europe and the mainland should be differentiated. It is best to form a high school in terms of price. Low-end collocation. In this regard, you should listen to the opinions of Guangzhou Station and the Foreign Business Committee. They have a better understanding of the market in this time and space."

"I see." In order to show that he attached great importance to President Wen's words, Mo Xiaoan took notes.

"We need to engage in more deep processing and high value-added product development. Don't make Liancheng dried sweet potatoes anymore - it's okay to make some for yourself."

"Ok."

Mo Xiaoan returned to his office and looked at a large number of new product trial development schedules on the table.He's not worried about new products—there are so many new products that have been successfully trial-produced recently.But what to choose for production is a difficult thing.

He understands what President Wen means, but what are the people of Daming interested in?This is no better than the Workers' Energy Committee. It is something I want to use.The Ministry of Light Industry made everything that was "possible to use".It doesn't matter to engage in trial production now, the big deal is that you can't sell it and eat it for yourself.Once the mass production is unsalable, it means a huge waste, and the People's Commissar of Light Industry will bear the blame at that time.

Among the several traditional time-traveling artifacts, glass products—including mirrors, glassware and flat glass—have already entered the normal stage, and can have a certain amount of sales every month.But with the exception of mirrors, sales of glassware and plate glass are limited.Obviously, the small merchants in Laigao will not have any interest in these luxury goods.

Matches are not complicated in terms of technology. After the arrival of a large number of struvite in Dongsha Island, Ji Situ has already organized people to make red phosphorus-not for making matches, but for smoke bombs used by the army and chemical production. The Ministry of Phosphoric Acid and the Ministry of Metallurgy are planning to use it to trial-produce phosphor bronze, which can be used as a material for making springs and springs, and is a new material that the Industrial Energy Commission is focusing on.

In contrast, it is hard to say whether his matches can be ranked.Mo Xiao'an himself went to the countryside several times to do research and so on. He saw that the local aborigines used scythes and flints to make fire, and there were even fire seeds left in the hearth all year round, so it was not difficult to use.It is a question of how many markets there are for my matches.

"Chief, it's time to eat." It was an administrative trainee from the Ministry of Light Industry who spoke, and he called Mo Xiao'an for today's meals.Originally, according to Xiao Zishan's regulations, the aborigines were not allowed to enter the traverser's cafeteria, whether it was to help cook, deliver goods or cook meals.But over time, this rule has gradually become abolished.A small number of "reliable" indigenous personnel are now allowed access to the canteen instead.

Mo Xiaoan looked at the dishes in the basin, and felt that he had no appetite—it was seafood again, and he almost went crazy after eating this food.Suddenly he saw fried sea intestines with scallion oil on the plate.

"Sea intestines!" He suddenly thought of a book he had read in the past. The protagonist neither made matches nor burned glass, but processed sea intestines into powder and sold them as monosodium glutamate...

"MSG!" Mo Xiaoan felt that he had made a great discovery.When the sweet potato comprehensive utilization meeting was held in the food factory last time, Huang Dashan said that sweet potatoes can be used as monosodium glutamate.But after I became Kvass, I didn't mention this problem again.I don't know if he made MSG or not.

"MSG? Of course you did, otherwise what do you think you ate in the cafeteria?!" Huang Dashan said angrily on the phone, "Are you considered the People's Commissar of the Ministry of Light Industry? The food factory doesn't see you very often. Shadow!"

"This... because I'm very busy... in a meeting..."

"Stop being bureaucratic, you'd better go to the food factory and have a look before you talk about it. Who can make it clear when talking about export products on the phone!"

I haven't been to the food factory for more than ten days, and Huang Dashan has been managing it for the past two weeks.This is a bit embarrassing--Huang Dashan's job is to cultivate strains, and he also works in a pharmaceutical factory. He is not capable enough to run this food factory, and he may not be able to do his best.

I also thought that as the people's committee member of the Ministry of Light Industry, the food factory is a key subordinate enterprise of this department, and it is closely related to the lives of the people who travel across the country. Everyone can see the achievements, and the reputation will be ruined immediately if there is a problem...

Mo Xiao'an's expression became serious when he thought of this: I don't understand the food processing industry, nor the business management of food factories.It doesn't matter even if you don't know food processing technology.

After thinking for a long time, I thought of Xun Suji.Because this person has a chef certificate, he has been working in the cafeteria since he landed.The establishment is in the Council of Agriculture, because he also grows vegetables part-time, this person is quite versatile - Mo Xiaoan remembers that when he was in the cafeteria, he made homemade salted duck eggs and bad eggs, as well as pickles and kimchi, and his craftsmanship was quite good.Since he is a chef and knows how to make small food, he is certainly not a layman in charge of a food factory.

So Xun Suji was dispatched to the food factory with such a transfer order.The sudden appointment of the director of the food factory surprised Xun Suji inexplicably.I am so happy that I have become a leading cadre from ordinary people. On the executive committee's unofficial ranking list, the director of the food factory is equivalent to the third-level leader.He is also the head of a small department.I was so surprised that I was a boring otaku, who was always managed and represented by others, but now I have to manage others to represent others, which seems to be a bit more difficult.Not just cringe.

But I think that once I become the head of the department, I can have a separate office, a separate electricity consumption quota, and if I'm lucky, I can even have a secretary.Apart from other things, this single electricity consumption indicator alone is worth a thousand dollars.At least the computer can be used until 0 o'clock.Thinking of my box full of private goods, I can finally see Tianri Xun Suji, an otaku, smiling so hard that his face blossoms.Colleagues in the cafeteria also came to congratulate. At noon, Xun Suji cooked a few dishes himself, and bought a bottle of rum from the cafe-Xiao Zishan was very considerate when he sent someone to deliver the dispatch order It came with a special supply coupon for a bottle of rum and packs of cigarettes.

A promotion is always a happy event, and there is always a celebration, and it's always nice to have something to add to the cake.Xiao Zishan's favor was free, the things belonged to the executive committee, but the favors belonged to him.Until many years later, many people's "revolutionary memoirs" often mentioned "unforgettable special supply coupons".

Everyone ate and drank, because Xun Suji was going to the factory in the afternoon, afraid of leaving a bad impression on Ben Mo Xiaoan, so he stopped drinking after a few drinks.Let everyone have a good time.

The canteen is not far from the food factory, so Xun Suji decided to check the situation in the factory before moving.

When Xun Suji came to the food factory, the starch workshop here had already been completed and was in operation. The potato washing machine designed and manufactured by Jiang Ye was tumbling, and hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes were sinking and floating in the water in the cement tank as the rollers fluctuated up and down. .Not far from the potato washing machine, there are several different machines installed, all making rumbling noises.Above his head, a drive shaft carefully turned into a standard circle is rotating rapidly, driving the machinery and equipment in the workshop with a belt.

The belt on the drive shaft is connected to the gearbox next to the machine, and the gearbox uses belt or gear transmission to drive the flywheel of the machine.Through the gearbox, the operator can easily adjust the running speed of each piece of equipment, and can also stop the machine at any time.

"You! Be careful, don't touch the belt!" Xun Suji was looking around.someone shouted from behind.Trembling with fright, he turned his head and saw that it was Huang Tianyu. He was sitting in front of a large window in the workshop, and behind him were two apprentices, wearing blue overalls, each carrying a large tool bag, one of them was carrying a A large enamel tea mug, and another carrying a thermos.

Xun Suji quickly and carefully walked to a safer place.

"Who are you, what are you doing in the sports car room?"

"I'm Xun Suji, the new director of the factory." He said and took out a dispatch order from his pocket.

"It turns out that the factory manager has arrived, and he can't see Taishan with his eyes! Offended and offended." Huang Tianyu joked, "You don't need to give me the dispatch order, it's for Mo Xiaoan, and he will come soon."

"When you yelled, I almost scared me to death." Xun Suji was terrified, "It shouldn't be like this..."

"You're still the factory manager, and you don't have any safety awareness at all. What are you running around in the workshop?" Huang Tianyu expressed contempt for him, "The day before yesterday, someone in the workshop was caught in a belt and seriously injured, and was just sent to the hospital. Just died. The whole workshop was shut down for four hours."

"Ah? There is such a thing."

"That's right, at the place where you were standing just now, the apprentice didn't pay attention, hit the belt and was sent flying away——tragedy." Huang Tianyu shook his head regretfully.

Xun Suji's hairs stood on end, so dangerous?It seems that this factory manager is not easy to be.

"You've never been in a factory, have you?"

"No—I'm a cook primarily."

"That's right, for those who have been in the workshop, the first thing the master does is to teach you to pay attention to safety in the workshop."

"It seems that there will be a safety production education activity soon."

"It's not very useful. Let alone here, safety education is taught every day in several workshops of our Workers' Energy Commission, and there have been more than one work-related injuries." Huang Tianyu said, "Indigenous workers feel that they have no idea about safe production. .”

It was indeed a bit of a feeling. Xun Suji thought of the aboriginal workers who helped cook in the cafeteria. They worked hard, but they were careless.

Xun Suji suddenly remembered something: "Old Huang, you are so free, why don't you spend some time in the workshop of the food factory?"

"You recognize me?" Huang Tianyu was a little strange, he didn't remember knowing this person.

"Of course, I work in the cafeteria. I don't know anyone."

"That's right. I'm for the gearbox in this workshop—"

Before the words were finished, a violent vibration came from a certain machine. An operator hurried up, moved the operating lever, and stopped the transmission.

"It's coming again." Huang Tianyu raised his hand to look at his watch, and checked the records again, "This time the continuous trouble-free time has increased to 37 hours. There is progress." He waved his hand, "Disciples, follow me Come!" The two apprentices quickly followed with their tool bags, large tea mugs and towels.

"Why did you come to the food factory? It's for these things." Huang Tianyu said as he dismantled the gearbox, cleaned out a few damaged gears, and carefully found out the broken teeth, comparing them one by one.Then he said a few words to the apprentice, and the apprentice quickly fetched a new one from the cabinet in the corner.

"The batch of gears in the gearbox are really 'high production', and the quality is very low." Huang Tianyu said, "I have to keep watching the situation here so that I can improve it."
