Dongquan Farm Management Office. Director's Office!
Zhang Hanwu looked at Zhou Yang with bloodshot eyes in surprise, and then asked with concern: "Xiao Zhou, how long have you been without rest? This is not good, it will destroy your body!"
He knows that young people are more impatient when doing things and sometimes don't take care of their own health. If they don't pay attention to it now, they will regret it when they get older!
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "It's okay, I just went to bed late yesterday and got up a little early today!"
"Then what are you..."
Zhou Yang handed over a stack of manuscripts in his hand and said at the same time: "This is the plan for the brick and tile factory I made. Uncle Zhang, take a look!"
Zhang Hanwu took the thick stack of documents and started reading.
After just watching it for a few minutes, he asked in surprise: "Xiao Zhou, why are there two plans?"
"Because these are two plans!" Zhou Yang said.
"Why are there two plans? Is there any difference?"
Zhou Yang said immediately: "The first plan is a simple brick and tile factory that I designed based on the actual situation of Dongquan Farm, starting from the aspects of capital, equipment, and labor. It uses a horseshoe kiln to make bricks manually."
"The advantages of this plan are low investment, fast production, and quick results. The disadvantages are slow efficiency and high labor intensity for personnel!"
"What about the second plan?" Zhang Hanwu asked immediately.
"This second option is a rotary kiln, where the machine automatically makes bricks. The advantages are high automation, less personnel investment, low labor intensity, and high production efficiency."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Of course, the disadvantages of the rotary kiln are also obvious, that is, the initial investment is large, and it requires a lot of capital and production equipment. The farm may not be able to afford so much money!"
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, Zhang Hanwu thought for a while and said: "I mentioned the matter of building a brick and tile factory to the county. Both Lao Huang and Secretary Zhang have expressed their opinions. If we can really solve the livelihood of the people on the farm, , they are willing to give part of the money and equipment!”
"However, it will definitely not be too much. I think one or two thousand yuan may be the limit!"
"Only one or two thousand yuan?" Zhou Yang asked with a frown.
"Well, the farm still has some emergency reserve funds, which only add up to 700 or 800 yuan. I will go to other departments in the county to donate alms, but it will definitely not exceed 3,000 yuan!" Zhang Hanwu said.
Zhou Yang immediately shook his head and said: "You definitely can't build a rotary kiln with three thousand yuan!"
"what is it now?"
"Since we can't build a rotary kiln, let's build a few horseshoe kilns first and put them into production quickly. When we accumulate the corresponding funds, we can build a rotary kiln at that time!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay! This is the most appropriate!"
Just as he was talking, Zhang Hanwu suddenly took out a piece of manuscript paper and said, "Hey, why is there another recipe?"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "This is the trump card I got for our brick and tile factory!"
"What's the trump card?"
"Open the market and gain profits!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Any product that wants to gain market recognition and earn profits depends on nothing more than price and quality, which is what we commonly call high quality and low price!"
"Bricks and tiles are a special commodity. As of now, the market price is public. A brick costs about 2 cents, and the fluctuation will not exceed one cent."
"To be honest, there is basically no room for price war at this price. Under such circumstances, people pay more attention to quality!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hanwu said: "Yes, generations of people build houses to live in, and they all hope that the houses will be as strong as possible!"
"Well, the quality of bricks and tiles fired according to my recipe is far superior to ordinary clay bricks!" Zhou Yang said.
Zhang Hanwu looked at Zhou Yang with a shocked face, and then asked: "Are the bricks made with this recipe really that good?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, you can rest assured!"
Zhou Yang was still very confident about the formula he came up with, because what he came up with was the coal gangue brick making process.
This process was only developed around the new century. It uses coal gangue as a binding agent to bake bricks. This kind of bricks are fully rolled clay bricks in terms of pressure resistance, bending resistance, acid resistance and alkali resistance.
Moreover, this kind of brick wall does not require watering before painting, which can save water and labor costs. Therefore, from the perspective of the cost of building bricks, it is quite competitive in the market.
In addition, due to the high hardness, the product loses less during transportation than clay bricks.
It is conceivable that once this kind of brick is put on the market, there will be a lot of clay bricks.
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, Zhang Hanwu felt as if he had found a treasure. He immediately selected it individually, put it in the iron cabinet behind his chair, and locked it.
Afterwards, Zhang Hanwu returned to his seat again and said, "When do you plan to return to Yunshan?"
"I took half a month's leave, and I have used it for 10 days now. I plan to go back before August 15th!"
"There are only a few days left. Will the brick and tile factory be able to make it in time?" Zhang Hanwu frowned.
"It's definitely too late to build a big kiln. I want to take people to dig a small kiln on the south slope in the afternoon and do a test. Try to bake the first kiln test bricks before leaving!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, I'll let Siri Gureng lead two squads of soldiers to help you!"
"That's okay!"
.........
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after avoiding the most vicious sun at noon, Zhou Yang came to the south slope with more than 20 soldiers!
At this time, several people were busy next to the No. 2 engine shaft.
Zhou Yang and others walked over and took a look and found that it was Lin Yi and others.
Judging from their posture, they must be operating a water pump!
Ji Yi looked a little embarrassed. His tattered clothes and pants were already full of oil stains, and his face was dark and completely unattractive.
With this outfit, even the refugees who had fled were better than him.
The others were all the same, all dirty.
However, Zhou Yang also understands that the current diesel engine pumps water like this. It needs to be fixed to the ground when working and needs to be refueled.
At the beginning, a mobile phone operator couldn't operate it at all. He often spent a long time fiddling with it and got himself covered in oil.
After a long time, you will generally be able to operate it skillfully!
Seeing Zhou Yang and others coming, Lin Yi first went to the water outlet of the well to wash his face and hands, and then came over.
"Brother Zhou Yang, you are here!"
"Well, I'm going to come over and get a small test kiln!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "How is this well?"
"Hahaha, very good! Not only is the water volume large, it can't be pumped out for two days and one night, but the well mouth is so thick that it can run three to five water pumps at the same time!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "That's good, but this diesel water pump is really a bit useless!"
However, Ji Yi said indifferently: "Although it is dirty, it is much safer than a motor pump."
“Are motor motors unsafe?”
"It cannot be said that it is unsafe, but because there are no telephone poles leading to the well, when using the motor pump, you need to bury some wooden posts and pull the wires to the well before you can use the electricity."
Lin Yi then said again: "This has certain requirements for the operator who operates the motor. Once the operator is not familiar with electricity and lacks operating technical training, it is inevitable that the wire will leak or conduct electricity when exposed to water, causing injury or electrocution. Things happen all the time.”
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Then you must pay attention to safety when using the motor pump!"
"Um!"
Then Lin Yi suddenly said: "Brother Zhou Yang, you just said you wanted to build an experimental kiln, right? I know a place that may meet your requirements!"
"Oh, where is it?" Zhou Yang asked hurriedly.
Ji Yi immediately said: "It's not far from here, I'll take you there!"
"OK!"
Then the group of people followed Lin Yi and walked southwest of the No. 2 motor shaft.
