Chapter 34 The Cement Factory

After saying goodbye to Huang Lao, Yan Guang took a boat to leave the United States under the disgusting gaze of Huang Yihua and several other Chinatown juniors.

Huang Yihua won’t mention it for now. The other people would watch Yan Guang leave with disgusting eyes, entirely because during the period when he came, the elders of these people have been using Yan Guang as a positive example in their ears (I believe that our generation will have this miserable childhood of t-t).

So after a few days, these people looked at Yan Guang and looked at enemies.

Yan Guang didn't know that behind him, there were several people looking at him with disgust, and it didn't matter even if he knew.

This time, in order to compensate himself and to relieve the boredom of the journey, Yan Guang specially booked a ticket for this luxury cruise ship. Not only did he have a swimming pool (the cruise ship was already there), but he also had various entertainment facilities. If he was a few years later, he would even have a fitness room on the famous Titanic...

It’s a pity that for a landslide like Yan Guang, even the swimming pool on the boat is of large use, so after floating in the swimming ring for a few days, he stopped going (there were too many contemptuous eyes around him). However, Yan Guang’s failure to go to the swimming pool caused a disaster to the casino in the cabin.

Although there is no mahjong in the cruise casino, Yan Guang still kills all over the world in other games. When he finishes his voyage and arrives in Shanghai, Yan Guang suspects that if he sits a few more rounds, he can earn money from a textile factory.

With the farewell of the cruise staff, Yan Guang and Wang Er got off the boat with their suitcases.

"Boss, can the gray factory really make money?" Wang Er asked hesitantly after getting into the rickshaw.

Before going abroad, he had seen Yan Guang and Song Dinghan arguing over this matter, because it was difficult for the gray factory to make money.

"Money?" Yan Guang shook his head. "Maybe it's hard to make money, but I still have to build it..."

After arriving at Jardine Mahjong, Yan Guang purchased rotary kilns and ball mills worth 20,000 silver dollars from Jardine Mahjong.

It’s not that Yan Guang didn’t want to buy more equipment to build a large gray factory, but just like what Wang Er said just now, Song Dinghan has always opposed this matter.

Because grey factories and textile factories are different, the funds required for textiles are less than those used in other industries, and the production cycle is short, which can make quick profits. At the same time, the demand is also very large, so there is no need to worry about sales.

Compared with textile factories...

At this time, many places in China did not need cement...

There seems to be very few cement equipment with 20,000 silver dollars, but the cement produced by it may saturate the entire Sichuan market...

Therefore, Song Dinghan always believed that he should save enough 100,000 silver dollars first, and then go to Shanghai to buy machines to further expand production. However, under Yan Guang's insistence, Song Dinghan still agreed to Yan Guang to open a gray factory. After all, Yan Guang is the boss, and he is just a worker...

Of course, there are also those who support Yan Guang in opening a grey factory, such as the prefect Yu Zongtong and the governor Zhao Erfeng. However, these two people were a little disappointed that Yan Guang had only invested 20,000 silver dollars to build a grey factory. Yu Zongtong even went to Huasheng Company to find Yan Guang in person, proposing that he would come forward to attract some gentry and then invest in the grey factory.

However, after Yan Guang explained to him what the market is and what consumption is, Yu Zongtong finally realized that sometimes the bigger the factory, the better...

In fact, Yan Guang also wants to open a glass factory, a paper factory and a garment factory that can match textile factories. Compared with the gray factory, these three factories make higher profits and faster capital recovery.

It’s a pity that these three things are really unrelated to industry, but the importance of cement in industry is beyond doubt.

For future plans, we can only build a cement plant first and slow down the others.

After inviting Richard and Charlie to have a meal, Yan Guang returned to Sichuan with the newly purchased equipment and the hired foreign technician.

Yan Guang first sent the equipment and several foreign technicians from Chongqing to Chengdu. Then, considering that the rubber stocks could be turned into cash in a few months, Yan Guang bought another thirty hectares of land on the original ten hectares of land.

In this way, it would be enough to build this place into an industrial area.

Yu Zongtong and Zhao Erfeng gave the green light when purchasing the land. After all, the expansion of the factory is also something they like.

It was already June. After the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction of the Ash Factory officially started.

Since this time it was just a small gray factory, it took only one month to build the factory. Then, under the guidance of foreign technicians, it took another half a month to place the purchased equipment and train the recruited employees.

When the factory officially started construction, it was already August...

Fortunately, the gray factory needs men, not female workers. Compared with women, men's literacy rate is much higher, so it is easier to train, otherwise the formal start of work may have to be delayed for a while.

In August, Yan Guang and Yu Zongtong, who came to watch the first batch of gray, were very excited. Unfortunately, it was useless to be excited. Just like Song Dinghan had expected earlier, the sales of gray in Sichuan were not very good.

The newly built Huasheng Ash Factory produces less than 1,000 tons per year, but in the end, Song Dinghan traveled all over Sichuan. Even though he almost broke his legs, he could only ensure that the cement produced every month could be sold...

Yan Guang understood that the large consumer of cement is infrastructure, but it’s a pity that not to mention Sichuan, it’s the entire China’s infrastructure capital...

Yan Guang also thought about opening up new sales for the grey factory, but at this time the giant of China's grey industry was the Qixin grey factory in Tangshan, Hebei. The annual output exceeded 40,000 tons, and there was no way to compare...

Now the share of Huasheng Gray Factory is snatched by the brands of Sichuan Renchuan Zao and Yu Zongtong, but if they compete outside, Yan Guang and Song Dinghan directly gave up this idea.

After giving up the idea of ​​expanding the ash factory, Yan Guang and Song Dinghan focused all their attention on the textile factory. The textile factory is very successful. Now it can bring Yan Guang a profit of at least 10,000 silver dollars every month. In comparison, the ash factory only has seven or eight hundred yuan after deducting various costs every month, which is really pitiful...

The difference in the consumer market determines the difference in the effort to make money...
