Although the situation outside is tense, it will not affect the six southern provinces in a short time. Therefore, the people of the six southern provinces still live a stable and peaceful life.
Ordinary people are not sensitive to changes in the current situation, and many people even feel that life is better than before. The business of the six southern provinces has improved significantly over the past two years. Last year, lengsa's automobile factory gradually became famous in Anxia. Businessmen knew that the automobile factory was about to expand as early as the end of last year. Therefore, many upstream and downstream supporting factories have moved near Yongcheng or directly come to set up factories.
Not only the six southern provinces, but also foreign businessmen have poured into the six southern provinces to get a share.
Automobile manufacturing itself is an extremely huge industrial system. Even if the Fu family is powerful, it is impossible to eat the whole industrial chain alone. Moreover, it is not a good thing for the whole industry and even for the Fu family.
Some rich people also want to set up an automobile factory. The Fu family has no intention of suppressing at all, and even gives a lot of concessions. In this way, businessmen are more assured, and more and more businessmen are investing in the six southern provinces, not only automobile manufacturing, but also other industries.
Jiangcheng in the six southern provinces itself is one of several major sea ports and trading ports in Anxia. Weijia, who has a large number of merchant ships, is also in the six southern provinces. Foreign trade workers can save a lot of transportation costs by opening their own factories in the six southern provinces. When more people come to do business, ordinary people have more opportunities to find jobs, and people's income naturally increases.
Therefore, when there is a faint trend of wind and rain in the southwest and northwest, the people of the six southern provinces feel that this year is a good year.
In the workshop of a garment factory, lengsa visited the whole factory accompanied by a female manager.
Young women workers sat in front of the sewing machine and worked hard. In the whole workshop, except for occasional whispers, there was almost only the sound of the sewing machine.
This is a clothing factory under Jingshu, but the clothes produced are not sold in Jingshu's store, but another brand subordinate to Jingshu - tea.
Jingshu is positioned as a high-end product, which requires a variety of complex processes and manual work. Red tea is relatively cheap, and most of them are mass produced by machines with stable quality. This is the proposal of Sun Wei, who left Yongcheng the year before last to develop Jingshu market. Lengsa, after all, has no experience and plan to work deeply in the garment industry. She really didn't think about these things seriously.
After more than a year of development, by the end of last year, Jingshu had seven or eight branches in Anxia. Tea has taken root in cities in the six southern provinces since the end of last year, and slowly began to expand outside.
The factory that Leng SA came to inspect today is the first garment factory in the six southern provinces to completely use electric sewing machines.
In this era, there are already electric sewing machines, but the vast majority of factories still use feet, because factories are generally built in relatively remote locations with cheap land prices, and few of these places can be electrified, and the electricity charge is absolutely not cheap.
Even some old-fashioned shops still insist on manual work.
"Young lady, since we changed the electric machine, the production efficiency here has more than doubled, and the workers are much easier than before." the manager smiled with lengsa.
Leng SA nodded and asked, "is the new machine used by everyone?"
The manager said, "those who can work here are experienced veterans. They asked the teacher to teach them in advance. Soon, everyone said that this electricity is easier to learn than the original old machine." just at the beginning, many people didn't dare to do it.
"Pay attention to safety and don't do anything." Leng SA said.
The manager quickly replied, "madam, don't worry. Our factory operates in strict accordance with the regulations put forward by madam."
In fact, the manager thinks that Mrs. Shao has too many rules. What overtime can't be more than how much, the minimum wage can't be less than how much, and there are fixed standards for lunch at noon. Where are other factories so good to workers?
Their family is unique and easily excluded by others. This does not mean that it can be solved with the support of the Fu family. After all, as the saying goes, breaking people's wealth is like killing parents.
Naturally, she also made comments, but seeing that Mrs. Fu was not worried, she seemed to know it in her mind, so she didn't say anything more.
She herself is also a woman. Most of the factory stores under Jing Shu's name recruit women workers. If she doesn't work under Mrs. Fu Shao, she has no power and power. Even if her ability is strong, she can't be a factory manager.
Similarly, there are many female workers in the factory, either doing housework at home, doing odd jobs for people, or working as servants. Many of them even work outside the city. Fortunately, I entered Mrs. Fu Shao's factory. As long as I worked a little harder, my monthly salary was not lost to a strong labor force.
Nowadays, with the impact of various new ideas in this era, women can make money themselves. As long as their character is not too weak, they can stand up.
Therefore, from the manager to the ordinary female workers, I am very grateful to the old and young lady of the Fu family and even to the Fu family.
Lengsa was also very satisfied after turning around the workshop for two times. "In August, Jiazhou is going to build a branch factory with the investment of Miss Liang dujun of Jiazhou. Sun Wei hopes that we can send 20 skilled workers to help. Is it convenient for you?"
The manager thought, "people can be transferred out, but... Our factory is full of women workers. I'm afraid it's a little difficult for them to leave their hometown and go to Jiazhou..."
Not every woman has the courage to leave the place where she grew up. Sometimes, even if there is something bad in her hometown, as long as she can't live, as long as she stays in this place, she has a sense of security that she will never have in other places.
Leng SA said, "If you send a notice, you can only be seconded there for three months before the Chinese New Year. If you are willing to go back and forth, all travel expenses, food and accommodation are covered, and our wages are paid. Ordinary workers in Jiazhou are paid according to the group leader, the group leader is paid according to the foreman, and the foreman is paid according to the treatment of the workshop director. There are other rewards after you come back. Of course, if you are willing to stay there, it is OK."
The manager smiled and nodded, "don't worry, madam, if you have money, someone will be willing to go." if you go out for three months, you can get half a year's salary, and there will be another reward, someone will be willing to go.
Leng SA nodded and said, "that's good. You can do it."
After that, lengsa went to the other side of the factory to customize clothes for Jingshu.
Even the sewing workers here are the most skilled, and there are many embroiderers and masters who are proficient in various crafts.
Of course, their remuneration is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary women workers.
When lengsa came out of the factory, it was already 12:00 noon. Yuan Ying, who had just left the gate and followed her, whispered, "young lady, come."
Lengsa looked up. Sure enough, Fu Dashao sat in the car near the roadside and looked down.
Lengsa raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why is he so free today?" Fu Dashao has been in the army almost every day recently. It is rare to go home before 9 p.m. it is said that 996 is a blessing, and Fu Dashao has now directly repaired 597. Lengye suspects that if he doesn't remember that there are old women and children at home, Fu Dashao would sleep directly in the army.
Before lengsa reached him, Fu Fengcheng raised his head, put the documents in his hand aside, pushed the door and got off.
"Why did you come here?" lengsa asked curiously.
Fu Fengcheng said, "Lan Jing said you came to inspect the factory and I'll pick you up." he opened the door and waited for lengsa to go in. Fu Fengcheng bowed his head and sat back in the car.
Leng SA was curious, "what's the matter?"
Fu Fengcheng said, "don't you want to go to Liao Yunting?"
Hearing the speech, lengsa's eyes lit up and looked at Xu Shaoming in charge of driving in front, "it's today?! come on! Go!"
Mrs. Shao's eyes were too hot. Adjutant Xu took a puff at his feet, stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.
"..." Yuan Ying, who was left outside, was stunned.
"..." the excited master Leng: it seems that he forgot to tell Yuan Ying to drive back directly. Why did Xu Shaoming move so fast?
The manager who came out with lengsa looked at Yuan Ying and coughed, "Dashao and Mrs. Shao may have something to do. Do you need someone to take you back?"
Yuan Ying looked up at the sky, shook her head and said, "no, thanks. I can drive."
Mrs. Shao is in Dashao's car, so she was left to drive Mrs. Shao's car back. It is by no means that Mrs. Shao forgot her.
No problem!
Xu Shaoming drove out of the city and rushed all the way to Liao Yunting's experimental base. He arrived in less than two days in the afternoon.
It's a fine day today. It's sunny and cloudless.
When it was half an hour's drive away from the experimental base, there were troops and horses stationed in front, and ordinary people could not pass.
There are many garrisons near Yongcheng, so ordinary people will not be surprised to find more garrisons here. They will only think that there are some new barracks behind here.
They passed unimpeded all the way. From a distance, they saw a large open flat ground. A plane that seemed to lengsa to be a little crude stopped in the center. Liao Yunting and a group of people were preparing before and after running.
Seeing lengsa and others coming, Liao Yunting ran over excitedly, with a fanatical light in his eyes.
Lengsa is sure that the light in Liao Yunting's eyes is not to welcome them, but to see the light of money. She has no doubt that in Liao Yunting's eyes, she and Fu Fengcheng are probably two emotionless withdrawal machines.
"Fu Shao, Mrs. Fu Shao, you're coming. We're going to start!"
Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, "I wish Mr. Liao a successful experiment."
Liao Yunting was full of confidence. "Of course it will succeed. We have made some improvements after the last test flight! It will certainly be better than last time." the last experiment is less than two months from this time, but Liao Yunting's aircraft structure is still simple, which is not difficult to understand.
Soon everything was ready. With the sound of a signal gun, the propeller turned rapidly, and the surrounding air flow was rolled up.
In the loud engine noise, the plane began to slide and accelerate towards the runway ahead, and finally gradually left the ground in the eagerness of everyone.
There was a burst of cheers on the ground. It was not the first time they saw the plane take off and land, but they still couldn't help cheering.
Especially the people who first studied with Liao Yunting. They have studied in obscurity for nearly two years. Finally, they really realized Liao Yunting's original fantastic ideas.
Liao Yunting was also very excited. He began to study the plane abroad and never stopped after returning home. Sometimes there is a slight success, but most of the time it is failure. Since he met lengsa, he not only had money, but also lengsa gave him more ideas and ideas, which opened many of his questions.
Liao Yunting is sure that even without lengsa, he can succeed as long as he is given enough money and time, but this time may take five or even ten years. At that time, I'm afraid he will really be overtaken by his old enemy. After all, the last time he received a telegram from Donald, he was showing off that he had succeeded in the test flight and laughing at his failure after returning to Anxia.
But now!
Liao Yunting is full of confidence. What if Donald succeeds before him? All aspects of the performance of his plane will surely crush his humble birds!
The plane flew in the air for nearly an hour before landing back. Everyone rushed up regardless of the airflow brought by the propeller, hugged the pilot and cheered.
Liao Yunting looked a lot more stable, although his eyes were full of excited light, "what?! good! Ha ha! I'm really a genius! What do you think, young lady?"
Lengsa looked at the proud Liao Yunting and hesitated, "do you really want me to say?"
Liao Yunting said, "of course, just say it." but his face said, "I see what else you can say. My plane is invincible in the world.".
Leng SA said, "Er, the speed is too slow, the noise is too loud, the wings are too long and look a little fragile, and the take-off and landing are unstable. I doubt there will be problems if you come twice more. The carrying capacity is too small. Such a large plane can't fit anything except two people? It can only fly for less than an hour, and the endurance is obviously insufficient. And..."
"Shut up!" Liao Yunting couldn't stand the other party demoting his baby to nothing, and instantly forgot the other party's identity.
Fu Fengcheng narrowed his eyes slightly and blocked lengsa behind him. At the same time, he also glanced at lengsa, indicating that she could stop. He felt that Liao Yunting wanted to rush up and strangle her for minutes.
Lengsa hugged Fu Fengcheng's arm, very innocent, "you want me to say."
Liao Yunting took a deep breath and recited "this is the gold Lord" three times in his heart. "Don't you have any advantages?"
Leng SA said, "that's not true. According to the information we have collected, your model should have the best performance. But if we don't make efforts to improve it, it will soon be surpassed by others. We got the news that at least four foreign aircraft have been successful, including the masterpiece of your old classmate Mr. Benson Donald." It's difficult before something appears. Once there is an update, the speed of iteration is very fast.
Liao Yunting's face finally eased a little and asked, "how do you think you should improve?"
Leng SA said, "it's still the previous problem. The engine and landing gear would be better if they could look better. Of course, this is not the most important. The important thing is... Do you want to study the problem of weapon loading?" she didn't want to really drop bombs from the plane by people.
Liao Yunting stared at her, "why should I study weapons? What do you... What do you want to do?!" his eyes almost didn't say "you're a devil".
Leng SA was speechless. "Don't pretend to be pure. You just study this. You won't think of the ultimate use of the plane?"
Liao Yunting murmured, "I just want to fly with people." he doesn't want to bomb others with weapons. He is a scientist, not a murderer.
Leng SA said with a smile, "Mr. Liao, please calculate how much you have invested in your research, how much you need in the later stage, and... If you are civilian, how many years do you intend to take me to recover the cost?"
Liao Yunting stopped and said for a long time, "can't you recover the cost if it's not civilian?"
Leng SA said, "of course, military research can cost nothing."
Is Liao Yunting still counting on his completely unreliable plane to make money in passenger transport? Not to mention a few people who dared to go up, his passenger capacity was a loss of blood. Civil airliners are not so easy to do. How can we build reliable airliners without using the military industry to accumulate a large number of technical and experimental data?
Liao Yunting looked pitifully at Fu Fengcheng. Your wife is crazy. Did you make it?
Fu Dashao looked bland. "Will Mr. Liao's research continue?"
Liao Yunting instantly forgot lengsa, his eyes lit up and said firmly, "of course!"
Fu Fengcheng nodded, "that's hard. I hope to see a feasibility report according to the opinions just put forward by my wife. Relatively, Mr. Liao doesn't have to worry about financial, human and resources."
Liao Yunting is a smart man. Of course, he knows what Fu Dashao means.
Between human nature and science, he decisively chose the latter. I want people! There are not enough hands now
Fu Fengcheng nodded, "no problem. In half a month, seven scholars with great attainments in this field will return from abroad. In addition, new graduates of Yongcheng university this year can also be recommended to Mr. Liao first."
Liao Yunting was satisfied. "It's almost the same."
Fu Fengcheng said, "next month, three professors from the Ordnance Research Institute and machinery manufacturing Institute of the six southern provinces will come to assist Mr. Liao in his research."
"..." you are both demons.
Fu Fengcheng and lengsa don't care about Liao Yunting's accusation. If the development of a thing will become an inevitable trend, it is absolutely necessary to ensure that they are ahead of others.
After all, if you don't do it, others will do it. Even without lengsa's reminder, Fu Dashao thought of the inevitable future at the first moment when he saw the plane.
And he doesn't think that only he is smart in the world, and there will be no fewer people who think the same as him.
Therefore, Anxia must not lag behind others in this regard.
