Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 202 Zhou Family Brothers
After Zhu Chuanwen and Gu Ansheng gossiped in the office for a while.

"Lao Gu, this Zhou Brothers?" Does this mean when will they come?This is indeed to be seen. During the time they were in Zhu's house, both of them became illegal workers. They have been helping Gu Ansheng to watch the construction of Hanyao Steel Factory for free.

"I reckon it's almost here, I'll go down and have a look..." Gu Ansheng looked at the time and said, when he went to Hanyao Steel Factory in the morning, he told his brothers that he would come to the building of Hanyao after he was busy. , Tell them that Zhu Chuanwen is back.

"Okay, you can go." Zhu Chuanwen said.

Zhu Chuanwen looked at the latest ledger while waiting for the arrival of the two men. For about ten minutes, a man in a short jacket and a farmer's clothes and a man in a long robe were led by Gu Ansheng. Walked into Zhu Chuanwen's office.

Zhou Fu is wearing short clothes, and his younger brother Zhou Gui is wearing long robes.

The two were a little cautious when they first met Zhu Chuanwen. After all, Zhu Chuanwen has become a big shot in Bingcheng due to the word of mouth of the workers. In Bingcheng alone, a flour factory, a business firm, and half of the cigarette factories have thousands of employees. Worker.

Moreover, the grain warehouse of this flour mill is even more important. With the permission of the Russians, there are guards with live ammunition.

"Dongjia." The two called Dongjia and bowed to each other.

The two of them had already made up their minds to follow Zhu Chuanwen. Not to mention other things, the two of them were very greedy for the equipment in this steel factory. Under the propaganda, the younger brother Zhou Gui also wanted to join this business, of course not as a worker, but to start his own iron factory.

Chinese people should have their own industry, this was Zhou Gui's idea at the time.

However, just after the Russo-Japanese War ended, the two brothers’ business in Dalian was wiped out, and they were planning to start from scratch again. An old friend Xia Yuanzhang sent a letter to the two of them. Since then, he has become someone else's shopkeeper, and came to Bingcheng with a curious idea.

As a result, the two of them didn't intend to leave, and whatever they said, they would continue to work in Hanyao's steel factory.

For nothing else, the 20-ton Martin steelmaking furnace seemed to be a favorite of the two, and it seemed impossible to pull it out.

"We met for the first time, and I am very grateful to the two of you for your contribution to Hanyao Steel." Zhu Chuanwen first said gratefully.

"Boss, you are being polite. The two of us plan to follow you. You can't drive us away." Brother Zhou Fu said straightforwardly.

"Haha, it's just when I'm employing people that I can't, I can't." Zhu Chuanwen said with a smile, but changed the topic: "I wonder what the two of you think about steel mills?"

This is the exam. If they pass the test, it is not impossible to keep the two of them, but if they fail, the two of them can only work as stewards in the steel factory. The level of the shopkeeper is beyond the reach of the two of them.

"Boss, I know that you are very useful in this steel factory, and we are not familiar with this steel, but I still have some experience in this iron factory." Brother Zhou Gui said, "Hanyao's current ironmaking blast furnace is very Okay, but the forging workshop is still a little too rough in my opinion, with two 60-ton blast furnaces, the production of this ironware is not on the table."

"I would like to hear the details." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"First of all, this forging workshop. The space you have set aside is a bit too small. The daily output of 120 tons of iron can't be consumed at all." Zhou Gui said, "In my opinion, this forging workshop should be divided into types, casts, cars, and tongs. , riveting, forging and other workshops, and about 130 various machine tools are needed to consume the iron every month. If the owner only sells iron, it will not make much money at all. Turning iron into iron is the most profitable .”

"In your opinion, how should this be resolved?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Choose a site, rebuild the ironworks factory next to the steelworks, and recruit more than 400 people." Zhou Gui's words can be regarded as more than a changeable draft.

"I think you just said a little bit, what else? Let's talk together."

"Secondly, there are ironware products. The owner also has a Hanyao trading company. Naturally, we know that Kanto soybeans are the most in-demand items in Kanto every year. The return of my silver in the Qing Dynasty is now supported by the export of soybeans, and I , and a native of Dalian, of course I have seen that after the Japanese occupied Dalian, Chinese people’s oil workshops were full of flowers. But now most of them seldom use this machine to make oil, and there are many manual workshops.” Zhou Gui said from himself He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Boss, this is the oil extraction equipment I drew. With this equipment, you can see that the oil will flow out from the lower end, and the bean cakes are taken out from this machine. Each bean cake is the same size and thickness, which is convenient for transportation by car and ship." Zhou Gui is obviously ready.

"Is this the market for your ironware?" Zhu Chuanwen asked with a smile.

"Yes, the owner. The oil extraction equipment is one aspect, and the two aspects are farm tools. Now Mr. Xu is in charge of the Kanto. In my opinion, the second product is this farm tool." Zhou Gui said.

"It looks good. This forging workshop was originally established to make farm tools." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"There is a third outlet." At this moment, brother Zhou Fu interjected. "Now Dalian has become an important trading port, and there is an endless stream of ships. I used to work in Lushun's shipyard. The repair parts of this shipyard are also a market for ironware."

"Very good, but there is one thing I wonder if you two have thought about it?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"What's the matter?" The two looked at each other.

"Workers!" Zhu Chuanwen said, "it's very hard to find operators of this machine tool in Bingcheng, and 400 raw workers were recruited at once. Are you confident that you can train these workers? In Dalian, it is only a small workshop with a dozen people."

"Boss, shopkeeper Xia said that the boss is a person who knows people and makes good use of them. Don't you want to try, can we two brothers support this ironware factory?" Zhou Gui asked back.

"Hahaha. I really don't know what you guys have learned from Lao Gu in a day." Zhu Chuanwen laughed out loud, and this flattering look seemed to be carved out of the same mold as Gu Ansheng.

"Okay, you go to Lao Gu, this iron factory will be built next to the steel factory, first buy some iron billets from the Russians, and start forging farm tools, I need 10 farm tools in October, are you sure? "Zhu Chuanwen said.

"Boss, I'm sure, we started with ironware in Dalian, and these things are clear." The two brothers promised quickly.

"Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. If the ironware is qualified by then, the two shopkeepers of the Hanyao Ironware Factory will be the two of you. But if it is not qualified, don't blame me for finding someone again. If you want to stay, just work for me in the steel mill." Zhu Chuanwen was very satisfied with what the two said just now, especially what Zhou Gui said.

Before, I just thought about making agricultural tools, but now it seems that the production of ironware has great potential. Oil presses, agricultural tools, and ship repair parts are all sold very well. Although Dalian is now occupied by the Japanese, there are still commodity transactions. , you Japanese can still control it?Furthermore, if you can’t sell it to Dalian, you can sell it to Fengtian, and if you can’t sell ship repair parts to Lushun, you can sell it to Vladivostok.
