Chapter 2465 Demonstration Textile Factory

Zou Biao believes that the current plight of the cotton textile industry is due to two reasons:

The first aspect is the planning issue during the First Five-Year Plan period.From the beginning, the Planning Institute did not intend to spend much effort on cotton textiles, and all kinds of imported cotton cloth, whether domestic or imported, can fully meet the basic needs.If it is not to meet some special needs, probably even this demonstration textile factory will not be built.

Of course, from Zou Biao's point of view, it's hard to say that there is something wrong with the decision of the Planning Institute.Regardless of the abundant supply of cotton cloth, Hainan's local objective conditions are indeed not suitable for the development of the cotton textile industry.

Although Hainan is the birthplace of cotton textile technology, compared with Songjiang, its production efficiency has been dropped by several blocks.Jiangnan not only has a large-scale cotton spinning industry, but also has an equally huge silk weaving industry.The number of craftsmen who make looms is much larger than that in Hainan, and the improvement in both technology and craftsmanship is much faster.In Hainan, there is actually no large-scale textile industry.Basically still at the stage of family sideline business.

The second aspect is the business model. Due to the demand for "special" products such as canvas during the First Five-Year Plan period, the Planning Institute believed that a limited-scale textile industry could be established. In order to reduce investment, it proposed the spinning package purchase system. A rather cheating mode.The result is also obvious: the received yarn cannot be hung on the mechanical loom.

The yarn produced by manual spinning is not uniform and stable. Once it is hung on the loom, it is very easy to break the end and the quality of the cloth is relatively poor.Especially the warp yarns that bear the tension are easy to break when the strength is large, which makes production difficult.The strength of the yarn caused the production speed of the machine to not increase.Even if the carded sliver is subcontracted to processing households, this problem still cannot be solved.Spinning can only produce uniform and tough yarns with mechanical power, or at least hydraulic power, and it is difficult to spin good-quality yarns manually.And these machines often require a certain amount of land, which cannot be afforded by ordinary farmers, only workshop owners with a certain amount of capital can afford it.

The combination of these two problems has naturally formed the embarrassing situation of the current textile industry.Zou Biao had no choice but to continue to be his person in charge reluctantly.

With the launch of the "capacity expansion plan" of the Senate, the restructuring of the textile industry with the help of private capital has been put on the agenda of the Ministry of Light Industry.Zou Biaoxi, who was already disheartened, got an assistant from the sky: Li Shan, a bully, ran out and was willing to take over the textile promotion business, and was responsible for helping the textile industry to attract investment and sales.

So Li Shan came to partner with him.

Li Shan also came from a mechanical background, but within a few years of working in machinery after graduating from university, he was dissuaded by low-wage and high-intensity occupations, and moved to a real estate company as an intermediary.He has considerable experience in persuading people to invest.

The Guangzhou tender was successfully completed, and both of them felt very excited.Firstly, the textile industry has developed greatly, and my right to speak will also increase accordingly; secondly, all kinds of old equipment in the factory can be eliminated by the way.For industrial upgrading, Zou Biao has been planning to install new looms these years.

In order to welcome the donors, starting three days ago, the demonstration textile factory shut down in turn by area and production line, cleaning, wiping and repairing equipment.Busy from top to bottom.The two inspected back and forth several times, and roughly drew out a visiting route, so that the gold owners can fully understand the whole process of cotton textile production.

After the last inspection, the two dragged their sore legs back to the office.

Zou Biao used to have the office all to himself, but when Li Shan came, he huddled with him, making it easier to discuss things.

A sharp siren sounded outside, and Zou Biao subconsciously looked at the wall clock on the wall: 7 o'clock in the evening.

In another hour, the day shift workers will leave work, and the night shift workers living in the dormitory area of ​​the factory will get ready to go to work when they hear the siren.

He glanced at the latest factory work-related injury monthly report and sighed secretly.Although the safety of the textile factory is compared with other industrial enterprises, the rate of work-related injuries and occupational diseases in the demonstration factory is still too high by the standards of the old time and space.The reason is self-evident, working for [-] hours in a workshop full of noise and humidity, the labor intensity is too high, mentally and physically exhausted.

现在示范厂的时间作息是每个班组在两班轮岗制下工作12个小时。其中有30分钟用餐时间和每4小时休息15分钟的上休息时间, 这样实际的工作时间达到了11小时。

Initially, the demonstration textile factory did not arrange shift work.Production stops before dark.The reason is that there is a lot of cotton dust in the textile factory, and once it catches fire, it may cause a large-scale fire.The dangers of using gas lamps for night lighting are too great.Later, after Diandiankou was able to produce electric lights, the Planning Institute changed the textile factory into a two-shift rotation enterprise.24 hours production.

Zou Biao has been making complaints about the Planning Institute: Since the production of cotton cloth is mostly "special use" and is not price-sensitive, why is it necessary to adopt such a radical cost-cutting method? It is not a product that must be continuously produced.Moreover, the cotton textile industry has not been the main development industry, and there is no need to reserve workers through multiple shifts.

But complaints are complaints, and he is no exception when industrial enterprises in the Senate generally adopt a two-shift production model.

"Old Zou, what do you think of this arrangement?" Li Shan handed him the reception form.Zou Shan is over fifty years old, and it is old Zou who is serious.

"We have studied these things many times. Do we need to go through it again?" Zou Biao pushed the document away, "We still need to study how to sell all the backward production capacity tomorrow..."

"You really can't lower the price of your second-to-fifth ring spinning?" Li Shan asked. Ring spinning has great advantages. First of all, it occupies a lot of space, and the key is that the efficiency has been greatly improved.

"It's too bad. The [-]th ring spinning is mechanically powered. The main body of the spindle is okay. In the past, it was made of oak oak. If there is no oak oak, you can find substitute materials. But the spindle shaft, rollers, and yarn guide hooks must be made of iron. , Otherwise, the wear and tear will be too serious, and the mechanics in the textile factory will be scolded. We can use it ourselves, but we use it for old money, and their own machine repair ability is poor. If the machine breaks every two days, why not go crazy?"

"The current steel quota has gone up, but the price is still too high." Li Shan frowned, "I'm afraid the rich people won't be able to accept it."

"It's not impossible if you insist on adding wood, but the loss rate will go up." Zou Biao said, "I have also considered similar problems, or take post-maintenance and just replace it without repairing it. This can greatly improve the quality of the wood. Significantly reduce maintenance pressure and reduce downtime. But this will involve changes in machine design and increase maintenance costs.”

"In my opinion, let the big households be fooled first. As long as they invest a large enough cost, they will not be able to get off the boat when they find out that the sunk cost is too high for them to bear, and as long as they can put into large-scale production, they will immediately lose money." If they can kill Songjiang Bu, they don’t have to worry about not making money. If they can make money, we will trick them into upgrading.” Li Shan gestured like a profiteer,
"I hope it's as you said. I don't think those big households are easy to fool. Otherwise, Hainan has been there for so many years, and the mechanization of private factories is still those few." Zou Biao said helplessly.At the beginning, the promotion of the machine was still in a half-push and half-satisfaction state, which was equivalent to the vote of a large local household in Hainan, but after a long time of push, the scale was like a snail crawling.Up to now, most of the private enterprises are still handicrafts, and a small amount of machines are used.

"I want the horses to run without grazing, can people be willing? The machine is expensive, and they can't get the core, so it's strange to be willing!" Li Shan was really convinced: when I came here to see the spindles of the mule machine Ingots are sold for 2 Australian dollars, ghosts will buy them!This is like building a gas stove using rocket engine technology. The market is unlikely to accept it, and no one knows who proposed to make this kind of machine.This time, he and Zou Biao worked together to reduce the cost of a set of machines to one-third of the original cost after various technical downgrades and wood-based components.As for the price, it is simply selling at a loss.Find a way to fool the big players to buy the machine first. As long as you buy the machine, the follow-up maintenance consumables will be a sum, and various trainings will be profitable.

"Our complete set of hydraulic spinning equipment will lose money if sold at cost." Zou Biao felt a little heartbroken.

"It's also the business of the Planning Institute to lose money. Let's sell the machines and let the factory run."

Early the next morning, Wu Yijun and his party were ready to set off to visit the factory.The place they are going to is Lingao Textile Industrial Park.

The park is located in the southern mountainous area of ​​Lingao, which is very remote.You have to take the city railway to Nanbao Town first, and then change to a horse-drawn carriage.

The reason why I chose to be in the south of the county at the beginning was mainly because it was close to Li District.A large amount of kapok, grass cotton and hemp resources in mountainous areas can be obtained nearby.It can also radiate Li districts and absorb people for employment.In the south of the county, there are also abundant water resources and low-quality coal that can be used to burn boilers—these are all necessary for textile enterprises.

Under the leadership of Chen Xiaobing, a group of people took the urban railway at Bopu and headed south all the way to Nanbao at noon.Had lunch at Nan Bao.At this time, someone came to report that the carriage of the demonstration textile factory was already waiting in the town.

Don't delay now, board the car and set off immediately.The carriage sent by the textile factory is a Dongfeng official style carriage, which is elegant and solemn in appearance and comfortable in interior.It was the first time for these few people to ride this kind of carriage that they had only seen in pictures before, and it was very fresh.Chen Lin still had a somewhat youthful heart, looking east and west.Said: "Cousin! Why don't you buy one in Guangzhou, it's stylish and comfortable. Wouldn't it be nice to use it to pick up and drop off guests? It's much more luxurious than the small sedan used at home!"

Wu Yijun laughed loudly: "I can't afford this carriage. Just these two horses alone can cost more than a dozen people a year! Not to mention that this carriage can't run in Guangzhou. Duoqiao, how does this car go?"
