Lingang Industrial Zone, Lane Machinery Factory Canteen,

San Jose has actually been hiding in the Puerto Blanca industrial area recently.

He was still reeling from an accident a few days ago.

Natalie, the current vice-president of the New A newspaper in the capital, suddenly arrived in Blanca City. If it weren't for Saint Jesé's best efforts, including coaxing and deception, to lure Natalie back to Buenos Aires. .

"I didn't expect that my charm would be so great."

The two spent one night in a villa in the suburbs, and then the guilty Saint Jose stayed in the Lingang Industrial Zone in the name of work so that he could not see Elena.

In fact, Rosa from Barron's and Mays Sanders from Sunshine Agriculture seem to be devoted to him.

It made him a little helpless.

"Oh, this damn charm."

Saint Jose took a sip of water and resumed his work.

The weather is a little clearer today.

Recently, the demand for briquette equipment has exploded across the country, and this machinery factory has also chosen to expand its recruitment to cope with the sudden burst of order demand.

The machinery factory produces two things. One is the iron barrel device outside the briquette stove, which requires rebar, iron sheets, and a cover. This is high-end equipment. After all, it can also build stoves of other levels.

The other one that manually presses briquettes needs to be produced separately.

Rennes Machinery Factory suddenly added 15 special workshops. This is not a big problem. Lingang Industrial Zone has enough backup workshops.

In addition, 3,000 workers were specially recruited to manage and create efficiency.

San Jose appointed Don Miguel as director of the Machinery Plant and his deputy this time, responsible for factory management and project management this time.

Don Miguel was brought by San Jose in the Propaganda Department of the Radical Party, and he showed outstanding management talents in the Investment Department.

He is a publicity + management talent. If he performs well this time, San Jose will send Don Miguel to work in the factory of the State-owned Assets Commission.

This was a challenge for the management of the Blanca Machinery Factory, which was still in its infancy, and an almost impossible task.

Saint Jose had no choice but to bring some people from the city hall to the machinery factory to work on site and give direct command.

Argentina needs at least 800,000 sets of briquette tools, which can even be exported, but cannot be produced at all. The Rennes Machinery Factory has also begun outsourcing some work.

The profit margin of this gadget is quite high, so I can make a fortune.

Moreover, it is also convenient to change other production in the future, and many machine tools can be used. This is why San Jose is willing to invest.

Most of the accessories like the stove can be replaced with other materials, but the iron used to press the briquettes can only be transported from La Plata to steel and small steel pipes.

There are also stamping and die-casting production machine tools produced by the Capital Machinery Factory, other simple production machines, and welding tools are also transported by train.

Sanjesé also didn’t expect that this gadget would have such a huge demand. Even some areas in Uruguay wanted it.

In addition to the Blanca Rain Machinery Factory, San Martin and La Plata have also set up production lines, but they are mainly located in Blanca City. After all, it is also a good opportunity for urban development.

Because people with certain learning abilities are needed, neighboring sister cities have provided support to Blanca City and helped recruit workers with middle school student level.

St. Jose was deeply moved by the support provided to the city of Blanca for its short-term outbreak needs.

The main production capacity is located in Blanca City, and many factories cannot produce this small thing. After all, it requires many processes.

“When Argentina can become a copycat country, then Argentina’s industrialization will be successful.”

Saint Hesse doesn't have a problem with copycats. The ability to copycats is a very scary ability in itself.

This is based on the industrial revolution and industry. There are few countries like Germany and Japan, and then there is New China. They are all a process of a country slowly moving from backward to advanced.

At present, in Argentina, except for some industries, other industries are not even at the level of copycats.

This is also the reason why a large country in South Asia has been unable to achieve independence in its military industry. Even if it is a counterfeit product, it will take more than ten or twenty years to produce a third-generation main battle tank.

Even this was with the help of the Germans, and the planes fell one after another.

Just like the sudden explosion in the production of briquette equipment, there have been no imitations of this coal press so far, and even batch imitations cannot be produced, or the cost is too high and of little value.

In fact, the basic industry is not good enough, and even copycats can't produce copycats, which is quite sad.

St. Hesse came here this time to help supporting factories improve their yield rate and production efficiency.

During this period, he led the civil servants of the city hall to carry out comprehensive transformation of the management of the machinery factory and establish and improve the production workflow.

It set up professional production workshops for the Rennes Machinery Factory and completed the first mechanical production line in Blanca City, which is of great significance.

With a complete assembly line, from die-casting to welding, it was divided into more than a dozen processes, and the daily output began to climb rapidly.

The next step is to batch copy and paste.

At this point, Saint Jose breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect this gadget to be quite troublesome."

Sanjesé watched as carloads of pressurized media were transported out and then transported by rail to all parts of the country. They could even be sold to Uruguay and southern Chile as a substitute for natural gas.

Saint-Jesse promoted this little thing as being omnipotent, capable of cooking, cooking, and heating. Cheap Thunder Mining coal was also spread across the country.

When a large amount of cheap coal was sold, it also increased the living standards of residents.

In addition to Salta's cheap coal, Thunder Mining also has a coal mine in Patagonia that it is ramping up.

There are relatively few people in southern Argentina and the climate is relatively low in winter. Now we can do them a small favor.

This time, the total investment to renovate and expand the factory was less than 400,000 U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the direct profit will be 1.2 million U.S. dollars, and it will also provide employment for 3,200 families, and the indirect benefits will be even greater.

This machinery factory will later complete further transformation and produce other products, such as parts for tractor factories and motorcycle factories.

If it develops well, it can even become independent from Leidun Industry and produce its own machinery, such as loaders, small excavators, construction machinery, and dump trucks, which are all very good fields.

The development rate of Thunder Shield Industry in the past two years has not been very fast, and Saint Jose is somewhat dissatisfied. This semi-independent research and development method is indeed not suitable for Argentina today.

This is also San Jose's overestimation of Argentina's current R&D capabilities. Even with the eyes of future generations, it is still a problem whether it can handle it.

At this stage, it is more reliable to rely on the introduction of production lines. Trucks, cars, and diesel engines are all beginning to be introduced, and even several American factories have been acquired to advance the work in reverse.



The first department store of the State Department Store in Blanca City is located at Avenue 99 in the 3rd District.

It will open in late May, covering an area of ​​2,000 square meters, with 1,000 square meters on the first floor.

The mayor of San Jose personally led a team to attend the opening ceremony of Sanders Department Store.

The shelves are already filled with things that can be produced in China, including all kinds of food, drinks, imported electrical appliances, fruits, vegetables, meat, daily necessities, and coal presses that are in short supply.

We recruited 10 cashiers and 30 store clerks across the city, all women over 35 years old. We also established a security team and three accountants.

Such a recruitment plan will definitely be scorned by later generations, but it seems completely normal in Blanca City.

Everyone knows that the mayor encourages women over the age of 35 to find employment, even if this is viewed with disdain by many people.

Yang Guohua printed thousands of copies of the promotional materials and then asked the newly recruited clerks to distribute the flyers.

Under the guidance of Saint Jose, female employees wearing uniforms appeared in schools, factories, markets, and major intersections.

In fact, these older department store employees are all selected from the best, with good figures and looks, and outstanding temperaments.

After all, the wages offered by this Saunders Department Store are also very high.

They held a thick stack of leaflets with opening promotion information and preferential prices for some products.

They walk on various streets across the city, and passers-by will receive a beautifully crafted leaflet.

This kind of propaganda method is probably the first time in Argentina.

In addition to manual publicity, Sanders Department Store also bought out advertising space in several newspapers in Blanca City, and even advertisements on radio stations.

This caused a great sensation in the city of Blanca. For a week in a row, Sanders Department Store was full every day, and the daily replenishment trucks had no time to operate. The various supplies hoarded by San Jose were sold in huge quantities.

It can generate 20,000 US dollars in profit for the city hall every day, and then it slowly decreases.

In order to store goods in the early stage, Saint-Jesse also built a special cold storage. After all, many fruits need to be refrigerated.

He read the week's reports and was shocked by the profitability of Saunders Department Store.

“It turns out that being a supermarket can really make money.”

Now is the era when department stores are booming. Seeing how profitable this can be, Sanjesé is thinking of opening a few supermarkets in Buenos Aires.

Blanca City also has the capacity of at least five supermarkets. Each supermarket serves about 30,000 people, although the profits here may not be as terrible as the first one.

But it can certainly create a stable market.

There are 2-3 million people in the capital, so arranging more than 20 large supermarkets is not a problem.

San Jose has always had a headache integrating the domestic market, and it seems that it can be solved in this way.

He immediately began to recruit troops and prepare to copy the model and open several large supermarkets in the capital.

Just opening a few supermarkets in major cities will almost saturate the market, and subsequent more ecological models will not be able to continue to expand.

“Without enough population, there’s not enough market.”

After San Jose arranged enough management personnel, it didn't have much to do with Saunders Department Store.

The most important thing is always to increase the population and develop the industrial system.

The population of Americans is ten times that of Argentines, so it can accommodate the development of a lot of department stores such as Wal-Mart and Sears.

The blast furnace of the Hans Steel Plant is still under intensive construction, and Saint-Jesse's advice to construction companies is to stop work when the temperature drops below 5 degrees.

The requirements for iron-making blast furnaces are relatively high. Construction will start when the temperature is higher than 5 degrees Celsius, and the construction period must be rushed. After all, the cement mortar cannot develop strength when the temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius during masonry construction. .

The steelmaking, raw material yards, sintering and other units of the La Plata Steel Plant are also under construction simultaneously.

The coking plant has not stopped, and construction will not stop as long as the temperature does not drop below 5 degrees for a day.

San Jose also provided them with logistical support, including plenty of coats, shoes, and gloves to keep them warm, and all wages were settled at 1.5 times.

There are not enough vegetables and meat, which greatly reduces the enthusiasm of workers for construction.

Saint-Jesse really regarded the construction of the Hans Steel Plant as his own son.

Grab the construction period and promote the degree.

And a specially formed blast furnace construction engineering team is the best among the best.
