Sail across the sea

Chapter 172 We are all used to it
"For the product of anti-fouling paint, we will only work on it for a year or two temporarily. After saving enough money, we will consider other products with higher technical thresholds." Gao Fan said.

"What you said is... uh, hehe, hehe, I didn't say anything, I knew Gao Fan that you must have a way."

Chen Xingquan was about to ask Gao Fan what the product with a higher technical threshold was, when he glanced at the driver's back from the corner of his eye, he quickly put it away and started laughing instead.

In Shuinan, everyone has business acumen.Once someone hears something like commercial information, they may be preempted, and then they won't be able to make money.

Along the way, Chen Xingquan stopped talking with Gao Fan about business matters, but chatted with Gao Fan about family matters, chatted and laughed, and had already arrived outside the village.

After seeking Gao Fan's opinion, Chen Xingquan told the car not to enter the village, but drove to a small yard outside the village.

"This is our factory."

After everyone got out of the car, Chen Xingquan pointed to the small courtyard and said to Gao Fan.

This is a small courtyard surrounded by old brick walls.The entrance is very large, and tractors can be driven in, but there is no courtyard door, just a moso bamboo is placed across the door, which is roughly a symbolic meaning.

On the wall next to the door, there is a sign with the words "Xinglong Paint Factory of Nanhao Commune, Yanzhou County" written on it. The words "Hao Commune" are written in two rows in small fonts.

"The handwriting is good." Gao Fan praised the words on the sign.

Chen Xingquan said with a smile: "My father asked an old gentleman in the village to write this. That old gentleman passed the examination of scholar."

"Scholar..." Gao Fan grinned.

When was the last Chinese talent show? This old man is afraid that he will be 100 years old now?He can still hold a brush, and these words are really written with great momentum.

Gao Fan was thinking about these nonsensical things, Chen Xingquan had already stepped forward, lifted the moso bamboo, and invited Gao Fan into the yard.

The size of the yard is not small, and several sheds have been built along the three walls of the yard. In the middle is an empty space where two walking tractors are parked.Chen Xingquan explained to Gao Fan that this was a tractor from the fishery brigade, waiting to transport the produced paint away.

The several sheds are the workshop and warehouse of the factory. Chen Xingquan told Gao Fan about this situation, mainly because there was no time to build a house in a hurry, so he first built a few sheds to deal with it.

The equipment for preparing paint is not complicated, but it takes up a lot of space, which cannot be accommodated in one or two small houses.And if you want to build a factory building of sufficient scale, you have to use a reinforced concrete frame, which costs a lot and takes a lot of time.Before the paint factory could earn higher profits, Chen Xingquan did not plan to build a large factory building.

"Such a shed, if there is a typhoon, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it?" Gao Fan asked casually.

Chen Xingquan nodded: "Yes, if there is a typhoon, this shed will definitely not work. But it was already autumn when we started construction, and there will be no typhoon until next summer."

"Oh." Gao Fan responded.

He can be considered to have observed the entrepreneurial process of the township enterprises in Shuinan at close range. A factory was built in a small yard and a shed made of moso bamboo.

In comparison, his labor service company is considered extravagant.Gao Yiping allocated a small piece of land in the fertilizer factory for the labor service company, and is building a small workshop, which is built according to the workshop standards of the fertilizer factory.

But things in the world are so magical. These township enterprises built in bamboo sheds have entered the market one after another 20 years later, and some have even developed into world-class enterprises.And many large state-owned enterprises with reinforced concrete factories have disappeared without a trace.

"Gao Fan is here, why didn't he sit at home?"

Hearing the commotion here, Chen Xingquan's father, Chen Linfa, who was working in the shed, came out and greeted Gao Fan with a smile.

"Uncle Chen, hello." Gao Fan hurried forward to salute, and said, "I haven't seen the factory yet, so I asked Brother Chen to bring me here first."

Chen Linfa pointed to those work sheds, and said with a smile: "Our conditions cannot compare with your public factories, Gao Fan, don't laugh."

"It's already very good. I didn't expect the factory to be built so quickly." Gao Fan said, "Also, the on-site management of our workshop is no worse than that of a state-owned factory."

The so-called workshop on-site management involves many categories.For example, the placement of materials and equipment, the operating specifications of workers, the transportation of raw materials and finished products, environmental sanitation, and so on.

In this era, domestic enterprises have always paid little attention to the on-site management of the workshop.Things in the workshop are thrown around, bumps and bumps are common.As for sanitation, it's even worse. There is no old oil or dust. You have the nerve to say that you are an old factory of more than ten years?
In Gao Fan's opinion, the scene of Xinglong Paint Factory can be given a passing grade.Although looking around, you can still see sundries thrown aside by some workers while working, such as empty raw material barrels, packaging bags, etc.But I can feel that someone usually picks it up, not just throwing an empty bucket there and waiting for mushrooms to grow.

In fact, cleaning up the work site every day does not require any advanced theoretical guidance, it is just a question of whether you are diligent or not.But at the same time, details determine success or failure. An enterprise that can pursue a clean and tidy site will be more competitive.

but……

Gao Fan sniffled and frowned.

"It doesn't smell very good." Chen Xingquan said after seeing Gao Fan's expression.

"Damn it, I ignored it." Gao Fan patted his head and said angrily.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xingquan asked in surprise.

Gao Fan pointed to the work shed and said, "The blueprint I gave you only showed the production equipment, ignoring the environmental protection equipment. In our production process, there will be a lot of waste gas, waste water and dust. You work here every day. Don't you think it smells bad?"

"Isn't that what factories are like?" Chen Xingquan said disapprovingly.

"Yeah, it's a bit windy today, but the smell is a bit milder. Usually, when there's no wind, the smell is more offensive." Chen Linfa added.

Gao Fan raised one hand, tried the wind direction, and said, "This wind direction just blows the smell into the village. Didn't the villagers protest?"

"There's nothing to protest about this." Chen Xingquan said, "Whoever runs a business has no taste. We are all engaged in chemical industry in this area, and we are all used to this smell."

"And the waste water? Where does our waste water go?" Gao Fan asked.
