The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 406 Industrial Upgrade
Huang Sheng only cares about the general direction and seldom asks about specific things. Today, I found out that the first phase of the project has completed more than 1000 houses but none of them have been sold, because the board of directors was held to set the price today.

Huang Sheng was surprised, and asked in a reproachful tone: "Zhao Rui, Bai Mudan, and Lan Meiniang, what did you do? The price was only thought of after the house was built. It stands to reason that it should be sold out as soon as the foundation is laid."

The boardroom was quiet, and suddenly Zhao Rui couldn't help laughing out loud, and a group of women couldn't control themselves, and they all had a good time.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm being presumptuous, but you, who are so wise, can't help but laugh at such nonsense, it's too funny." Zhao Rui looked at Huang Sheng who was puzzled and smiled.

Lan Meiniang found that the master seemed confused and explained: "Master, Nunu has never heard that a house can be bought and sold without repairing it. This is impossible! No one will sell it, and it is impossible for someone to buy it!"

Bai Mudan said: "Yes! Yes! How can the buyer buy the house without seeing it?"

The beauties of the sixteen board members chattered a lot, and none of them didn't think selling off-plan houses was funny.

"Dizzy!" Daming people don't understand commercial housing development!It is not uncommon for developers of later generations to collect the house money as soon as they get the land, and it is not uncommon for the bank to play empty-handed white wolves!
It is a good thing that people in Daming are too serious about doing business. Huang Sheng decided to follow the Romans and not tell the members of the board of directors about the questionable idea of ​​selling off-plan houses, so as not to pollute Daming's investment environment with these dross.

Selling off-plan houses is actually a disguised way to spread the cost and risk to each home buyer. The home buyers bear the costs such as bank interest in a disguised form. This is actually a means for developers to ensure their maximum benefits, just for profit.

Huang Sheng had no choice but to laugh at himself and said: "You are doing the right thing. It is fair and honest to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Don't laugh now, let's discuss the price."

The ordinary commercial houses in "Huaxia Island" do not have sanitation facilities, and they are constructed by building a public toilet for ninety households. The cesspit of the toilet is completely closed, and farmers will regularly transport fertilizers. Farmers who receive free fertilizers are responsible for the daily sanitation of the toilets. .

Since "Huaxia Island" has a permanent population of 10,000+, the output of vegetable farmers can be sold at a high price. After paying [-]% of the tax based on growing food, their net income is still much higher than that of workers.

In order to prevent land mergers, the basic farmland of "Huaxia Island" cannot be bought and sold, but farmers have permanent property rights. Vegetable farmers use farmyard manure to carefully work the land they own, and human and animal manure has become a sought-after commodity.

Therefore, contracting a sanitary toilet not only did not encounter resistance from farmers, but the supply was in short supply. The manager can evaluate the sanitary level of the contractor's management of the toilet and decide whether to renew the contract again.

The water wells in the ordinary residential area of ​​"Huaxia Island" also ensure that there is at least one eye. Baochang and Jiachang are responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the water wells and water-lifting windmills and keeping the surroundings of the wells clean.

Because the cost of building a water pipe network for the entire city is too high in this era, we can only choose to build small-scale water towers that are not too high and therefore not too tall for water supply.

The mid-range commercial housing has two bathrooms and a running water system, which is similar to the commercial housing of later generations. There is a difference, here are two or three-storey small buildings with seven or eight main guest rooms.

Because in this era, a family is not a family of three. Ordinary people have too many families with more than a dozen people, and there are countless families with tens of hundreds of people, and the houses are too small to live in.

High-end commercial housing is a series of small villas, with greening, environment, lighting, toilets, and running water. Each building is a three-story building, and the smallest has more than a dozen rooms.

The final result of the meeting was that in the first phase, ordinary commercial houses were priced at [-]% net profit, mid-range houses were priced at [-]%, and high-end villas were priced at both cost and profit.

On the seventh day of September, this should be a memorable day. The Huang family's technical research team has researched the results and started to upgrade the weaving factory on a large scale today.

In the spring, with the joint efforts of Gu Shanhai, Shi Jincai, Sun Jiwang, Liu Dequan, the master craftsmen who dug up the ancestral handicraft looms from the south of the Yangtze River, and more than a dozen young men and women in the scientific research class, the flying shuttle loom was successfully developed.

The reason why the flying shuttle loom was successfully developed was, of course, that the ignorant owner gave the technician an idea, not only provided a lot of financial support, but also provided manpower and material resources.

In the Huang family, the technicians in the scientific research class will get the services of the best craftsmen no matter what strange parts they need to process.

Because all great craftsmen know that as long as the scientific research team produces research results, no matter whether it is practical or not, the owner will reward every craftsman who provides help, and there will be no omissions. Of course, technological innovations are endless in such an environment.

Gu Shanhai played a key role. There are already many varieties of special steel produced by him, and the quality tends to be stable. It is no longer an obstacle to use spring steel that almost meets the quality standards of later generations to manufacture durable springs that drive steel shuttles.

When the product was not finalized, Shi Jincai, the most patient and skilled, took his apprentices to manufacture and polish shuttles of different sizes one by one, and used them to match springs with different elasticities.

Sun Jiwang, Liu Dequan and the teenagers in the scientific research class continued to use the shuttle loom that repeatedly encountered such and other problems to carry out trial weaving, and finally successfully finalized the loom.

Thirty shuttle looms were invested in the new cloth factory at one time, so that the width of the cloth can reach five or six feet. In the past, there were only a few factories in the south of the Yangtze River that produced cloth of this width, and they were all their secrets.

The production of wide-width cloth by the Jiangnan Cloth Factory requires at least two or three skilled weavers to complete a machine, and the speed is not fast enough. The shuttle loom exclusively produced by the Huang family can be operated by one person, and the speed is fast enough. More than double the loom.

This landmark industrial revolution was a full 100 years earlier than in Europe. The Huang family’s spinning jenny has undergone many innovations, and now it can drive sixteen spindles with pedals to drive the spinning wheel.

Weaving factories with improved work efficiency will reduce the cost of products by more than [-]% from now on, and the benefits will make the poor people less and less clothed.

Huang Sheng specifically asked a busy female worker, "Do you feel much more tired than the loom you used before?" The machine rattled in the workshop, and Huang Sheng's voice was loud, and the female worker heard it.

She smiled and said loudly: "Master, the little girl is not as tired as before. The new loom is easy to use and saves a lot of energy. You don't need two people to throw the weaving shuttle back and forth. If you accidentally drop it, you have to stop to pick it up."

"It's very good. You should also pay attention to your health. In the future, you should not work too much overtime."

"Master, my little girl likes our family's way of giving monthly money. Everyone is willing to work overtime because of the hard work. I am afraid that such a good loom will not last."

Shi Jincai said loudly: "Don't worry, the machine repair team will regularly check and maintain after you get off work, so you won't miss your monthly salary."

Huang Sheng said to Zhao Shimin who was accompanying him: "Remember, the arrangement of work should be done in moderation. The limit of each worker's work is five hours a day. The weaving factory can arrange two shifts without stopping the machine. It is necessary to ensure that each worker One day off in ten days, force them to rest."
