Concrete projects will be huge in the future - with concrete, there will be real estate, and the construction of the entire society cannot be separated from concrete. Even if there is no real estate market in this world for the time being, there are still borders, city walls, roads and bridges, etc.; and other residences, factories, docks, etc., all of which cannot be separated from concrete.
In short, for such a huge project, Li Xian must find a reliable person in charge.
Finally, Li Xian discovered a talent from the original metallurgical branch, that is, from Song Gang's subordinates - Xiang Yun, who not only had an almost crazy research on minerals, but was also a very serious and responsible person.
Overnight, Xiang Yun was promoted from a workshop director of mineral resources research to a new branch director. This incident was an unimaginable stimulus to everyone - a role model!
Li Xian's words "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier" have long filled the entire valley and are regarded as a motto by almost everyone.
After a busy period, there were only ten days left until the New Year. Li Xian finally called together the senior management and everyone prepared to make a simple year-end summary.
Li Xian looked at everyone and suddenly smiled: "Everyone, in the past, we have created a glory and legend. There is no need to repeat the glory of the past. I just want to say that the future will be even more glorious. One day, you will be proud of your choice today. Now, let's make this year's year-end summary, and do it every year in the future. The general structure is: what we have done this year, what we need to do, what we need to improve, and what our future goals are. We must make a summary. For the time being, our achievements are: colored lights, glass, engines, textile machinery, machine tools, smelting, electricity, wires, and the concrete project that has been started. Now, please report in order."
Sun Ming was the first to report, "In the past, we have completed the improvement of colored lanterns, the production of glass, and the production of glass mirrors. At present, the relevant personnel have been trained and mature, and next year we plan to increase the sales of glassware, such as crystal cups and other items. This year, a total of 27,000 items were sold, with a profit of 1,763 taels of gold..."
The person in charge of the engine is still Tang Rong from the research department. "894 engines have been completed this year. The latest engine has been reduced to 25 cm in height and 85 cm in length, with an output of 6 horsepower. If connected to an external spirit gathering array, it can reach 9 horsepower. Next year, we will prepare to build a 100 horsepower engine."
He Lin, who was in charge of weaving, was about to stand up, but Li Xian suddenly said, "Aunt He, please wait a moment."
Then Li Xian looked at Tang Rong, "Teacher Tang, you underestimate the role of the wire. Now the wire has begun to see the light of day. If the research on the wire is successful, the engine will be able to exceed 1,000 horsepower. In addition, the engine is the heart of the entire industry, and there cannot be only one model. Next year, we need to research a variety of large, medium and small models of engines to meet different needs. Next year, I also plan to sell engines to the outside world. The best way to control the market is not to block the technology, but to guide others so that they always follow behind us and can only follow our backs forever."
After seeing Li Xian nod, He Lin stood up with a smile on her face. "At present, we have completed the preliminary research of the combined textile machine. Next year, we plan to complete the research of the large-scale combined textile machine. The goal is to produce 2,000 pieces of cloth a day. In addition, this year we have completed 12,000 pieces of cloth. Next year, we plan to achieve the goal of 200,000 pieces of cloth and further reduce the production cost of cloth, so that the cost price of cloth is 60% lower than the market price. Next year, we will expand the factory, recruit workers, and raise silkworms and hemp ourselves; we are not planning to grow cotton, which has high requirements and low yields for the time being."
