Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 479, test flight!
Although the situation outside is tense, it will not affect the six southern provinces in a short period of time, so the people of the six southern provinces are still living a stable and peaceful life.
Ordinary people are not sensitive to changing times, and many even feel that life is better than before. The business of the six southern provinces in the past two years has obviously improved compared with previous years. Last year, the cold car factory gradually became famous in Anxia. The businessman knew as early as the end of last year that the car factory was about to be expanded, so many of them were supporting upstream and downstream. Many factories have moved to the vicinity of Yongcheng or come directly to set up factories.
Not only the six southern provinces, but even businessmen from other places flocked to the six southern provinces to get a share of the pie.
Auto manufacturing itself is an extremely huge industrial system. No matter how powerful the Fu family is, it is impossible to eat the entire industry chain on their own. What's more, this is not a big deal for the entire industry or even the Fu family themselves. good thing.
Some wealthy people also wanted to open a car factory. The Fu family had no intention of suppressing them, and even offered a lot of discounts. As a result, businessmen are more at ease, and more and more businessmen have come to invest in the six southern provinces, not only in automobile manufacturing but also in other industries.
Jiangcheng in the six southern provinces itself is one of the major seaports and trading ports in Anxia. The Wei family, which has a large number of merchant ships, is also in the six southern provinces. If you are doing foreign trade, you can save a lot of money by setting up your own factories in the six southern provinces. Large shipping fee. The more people come to do business, the more opportunities for ordinary people to find jobs, and the income of the common people will naturally increase accordingly.
Therefore, while the southwest and northwest are looming, the people of the six southern provinces feel that this year is a good year.
In the workshop of a garment factory, Leng Sa visited the entire factory accompanied by a female manager.
The young female workers sat in front of the sewing machines 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 under Jingshu - Red Sleeve.
Jingshu is positioned as a high-end product, which requires the use of various complex craftsmanship and manual work. The red sleeves are relatively cheap and most of them are mass-produced by machines with stable quality. This was the proposal of Sun Wei, who left Yongcheng to open up the Jingshu market the year before. After all, Leng Sa had no experience or plan in the clothing industry. She hadn't really thought about these things.
After more than a year of development, Jingshu had seven or eight branches in Anxia by the end of last year. Hongxiu has taken root in various cities in the six southern provinces since the end of last year, and slowly began to expand outside.
The factory that Leng Sa visited today is the first garment factory in the six southern provinces to use electric sewing machines entirely.
In this era, there are already electric sewing machines, but most factories still use foot pedals, because factories are generally built in relatively remote and cheap places, and these places are rarely connected to electricity. And electricity is definitely not cheap.
Even some old-fashioned shops still insist on handcraft.
"You see, madam, since we switched to electric machines, the production efficiency here has more than doubled compared to before, and the workers are much easier than before." The manager followed Leng Sa and smiled.
Leng Sa nodded and asked, "Are you used to the new machine?"
The manager said, "There are experienced veterans who can work here. I found an old master in advance to teach them how to get started quickly. Everyone said that this electricity-using machine is easier to learn than the original old machine." This is electricity, and many people dare not do it.
"Be careful, don't let anything happen." Leng Sa said.
The manager responded quickly, "You can rest assured, young lady, our factory operates strictly according to the regulations proposed by the young lady."
Actually, the manager felt that the young lady's rules were a little too much. The overtime hours could not be exceeded, the minimum wage could not be lower than the minimum wage, and there were fixed standards for lunch at noon. How can other factories treat workers so well?
Their family is unique and easy to be ostracized by others. This is not to say that it can be solved with the support of the Fu family. After all, as the saying goes, cutting someone's fortune is like killing one's parents.
Of course she also raised her opinion, but seeing that Mrs. Fu Shao was not worried, she seemed to know, so she didn't say anything more.
She is also a woman herself. Most of the factories and shops under Jing Shu's name recruit are female workers. If she hadn't worked under Mrs. Fu, she would not be able to become a factory manager, no matter how strong she was. .
Similarly, many of the female workers in the factory were either doing odd jobs at home or doing housework for others, and many of them even farmed outside the city. Fortunately, I entered Mrs. Fu Shao's factory. As long as I worked hard for a month, my salary was not lost to a strong laborer.
In today's era, all kinds of new ideas are impacting, and women can make money by themselves, as long as they are not too weak and their waists can stand up.
Therefore, from the manager down to the ordinary female worker, I am very grateful to this young lady of the Fu family and even to the Fu family.
Leng Sa walked around the workshop twice and felt very satisfied, "In August, a branch is going to be built in Jiazhou, and the young lady of Governor Liang of Jiazhou will invest. Sun Wei hopes that we will send 20 skilled workers here. The workers went over to help. Is it convenient for you here?"
The manager thought for a while and said, "People can be recruited, but...we are all female workers in our factory, and it may be a bit hard for them to leave their homes and go to Jiazhou..."
Not every woman has the courage to leave the place where she grew up. Sometimes even if there is something wrong with her hometown, as long as she can't live, as long as she stays in this place, there will be a kind of other place. sense of security.
Leng Sa said, "You send a notice, there will only be a secondment for three months and you can come back before the Chinese New Year. If you are willing to go, the cost of travel, food and lodging is all included, and our salary will be paid here, and Jiazhou's salary will be paid. Ordinary workers are paid according to the team leader, the team leader is paid according to the foreman, and the foreman is paid according to the treatment of the workshop director. After returning, there will be other rewards, of course, if there are people who are willing to stay there, it is also possible.”
The manager then smiled and nodded, "Young madam, don't worry, there will definitely be someone willing to go if you have the money." You can get half a year's salary for a three-month trip, and there are other rewards, sure. Someone will want to go.
Leng Sa nodded and said, "That's good, you can figure it out."
Afterwards, Leng Sa personally went to the other side of the factory where she custom-made clothes for Jing Shu.
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 female workers.
It was already twelve o'clock noon when Leng Sa came out of the factory, and Yuan Ying, who was following her just after she walked out the door, reminded in a low voice, "Mrs. Young Master, the young master is here."
Leng Sa looked up and sure enough, Master Fu was sitting in a car on the side of the road not far away, looking down at something.
Leng Sa raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why is he so free today?" Mr. Fu has been in the army almost every day recently, and it is rare to be able to go home before nine o'clock in the evening. It is said that 996 is a blessing, and Master Fu has now directly cultivated into 597. Master Leng suspects that if he still remembers that there is a wife and child at home, Master Fu would have directly slept in the army.
Fu Fengcheng raised his head before Leng Sa could reach him, put the documents in his hand aside and pushed the door to get out of the car.
"Why did you come here?" Leng Sa asked curiously.
Fu Fengcheng said: "Lan Jing said that you came to inspect the factory, and I'll pick you up." After opening the car door and waiting for Leng Sa to enter, Fu Fengcheng lowered his head and sat back in the car.
Leng Sa is a little curious, "What's the matter?"
Fu Fengcheng said, "Don't you want to go to Liao Yunting's place?"
Leng Sa's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he looked at Xu Shaoming, who was driving in front of him, "Is it today?! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
The young lady's eyes were too hot, Adjutant Xu twitched his feet, stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.
"..." Yuan Ying, who was left outside, was stunned.
"..." Leng Ye, who was extremely excited: I seem to have forgotten to tell Yuan Ying to drive the car back directly. Why is Xu Shaoming moving so fast?
The manager who accompanied Leng Sa looked at Yuan Ying and coughed lightly, "Young Master and Young Madam 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, thank you. I can drive."
The young lady was in the young lady's car, so she was left to drive the young lady's car back. It was not that the young lady had forgotten her.
No problem!
Xu Shaoming drove out of the city in his car and rushed all the way to Liao Yunting's experimental base. He arrived in less than two days in the afternoon.
Today is a good day, the weather is sunny and cloudless.
When it was half an hour's drive away from the experimental base, there were already soldiers and horses stationed in front, and ordinary people could not pass.
There are many garrisoned troops near Yongcheng, so ordinary people will not be surprised to find that there are more garrisoned troops here, they will only think that there is a new military camp behind it.
They passed unimpeded all the way, and in the distance they saw a large open ground, a plane that looked a little crude in Leng Sa's eyes was parked in the center, Liao Yunting and a group of people were running back and forth. Getting ready.
Seeing the arrival of Leng Sa and the others, Liao Yunting ran over excitedly, with a frenzy in his eyes.
Leng Sa is sure that the light in Liao Yunting's eyes is not to welcome them, but to see the light of money. She had no doubt that in Liao Yunting's eyes, she and Fu Fengcheng were probably two cashless machines.
"Fu Shao, Mrs. Fu Shao, you have come, we are about to start!"
Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, "I wish Mr. Liao a successful experiment."
Liao Yunting is full of confidence, "Of course it will be successful. After the last test flight, we have made some improvements! It will definitely be better than the last time." The structure is relatively simple but not difficult to understand.
Soon everything was ready. With the sound of a signal gun, the propeller turned rapidly, and the surrounding airflow was rolled up.
Amid the loud engine noise, the aircraft began to slide toward the runway ahead, accelerated, and finally left the ground under the eagerly watched crowd.
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 couldn't help cheering.
Especially the people who studied with Liao Yunting at the beginning. They have been studying in obscurity for almost two years, and finally they have really realized Liao Yunting's original idea that was incredible to them.
Liao Yunting was also very excited. He began to study the plane when he was abroad, and he did not stop after returning to China. Sometimes there are slight successes, but most of the time it is a failure. Since he met Leng Sa, not only has he become rich, but Leng Sa has given him more ideas and ideas, making many of his doubts clear up.
Liao Yunting is pretty sure that he can succeed without Leng Sa as long as he has enough money and time, but this time may take five years or even ten years. At that time, I am afraid that he will really be surpassed by his old enemy. After all, the last time he received a telegram from that guy from Donald, he was showing off that he had successfully tested the flight, and mocking him for returning to Anxia for nothing.
But now!
Liao Yunting is full of confidence, so what if that guy Donald succeeds before him? All aspects of his aircraft will definitely be able to crush his humble bird!
This time the plane flew in the air for nearly an hour before landing. Everyone ignored the airflow brought by the propeller and rushed up, hugging the pilot and cheering in unison.
Liao Yunting looks much more stable, although his eyes are full of excitement, "How is it?! Not bad! Haha! I am really a genius! Young lady, what do you think?"
Leng Sa looked at the proud Liao Yunting and hesitated for a while, "Do you really want me to tell?"
Liao Yunting said, "Of course, you can say whatever." But on his face was written "I see what else you can say, my plane is invincible in the world".
Leng Sa said, "Uh, the speed is too slow, the noise is too loud, the wings are too long and it looks a little fragile, the takeoff and landing are unstable, I suspect that there will be problems with two more trips, the carrying capacity is too small for such a large aircraft Can't hold anything except two people? It can only fly for less than an hour, and the battery life is obviously insufficient. And..."
"Shut up!" Liao Yunting couldn't bear the other party's devaluation of his baby to nothing, and instantly forgot the other party's identity.
Fu Fengcheng squinted slightly to block Leng Sa behind him, and at the same time glanced at Leng Sa to signal that she should stop. He felt that Liao Yunting wanted to pounce on her and strangle her in minutes.
Leng Sa hugged Fu Fengcheng's arm, very innocent, "You asked me to say it."
Liao Yunting took a deep breath and recited "This is the gold master" three times in his heart before he said, "Don't you have any advantages?"
Leng Sa said, "That's not true. Based on the information we have collected so far, your model should already have the best performance. But if you don't work hard to improve, you will soon be surpassed by others. What we got News, there are at least four foreign aircraft that have been successful, among them is the masterpiece of your old classmate, Mr. Benson Donald.” It is difficult before something appears, but once it appears, the speed of update and iteration is very fast.
Liao Yunting's face finally eased a bit, and asked, "Then how do you think it can be improved?"
Leng Sa said: "It's still the previous problem, the engine, and the landing gear, it would be better if the shape could be better. Of course, this is not the most important, the important thing is... Do you want to study the weapon loading aspect? problem?" She didn't want to really rely on people dropping bombs from planes.
Liao Yunting glared at her, "Why should I study weapons? You...what do you want to do?!" His eyes almost said "you are a devil".
Leng Sa was speechless, "Don't pretend to be pure, you are just researching this, you can't think of the ultimate purpose of the aircraft?"
Liao Yunting muttered, "I just want to take people to the sky and fly." He doesn't want to bring weapons to bomb others, he is a scientist, not a murderer.
Leng Sa smiled and said, "Then trouble Mr. Liao to calculate how much you have invested in your research, how much you need in the later stage, and...for civilian use, how many years do you plan to make me recover the cost?"
Liao Yunting froze and said after a while, "Is it not for civilian use, you can recover the cost?"
Leng Sa said, "Of course military research can be done at any cost."
Does Liao Yunting still count on his unreliable plane for passenger transportation to make money? Not to mention how many people dared to go up, his passenger capacity is simply a blood loss. Civilian passenger planes are not so easy to do. How can we build a reliable passenger plane without using the military industry to accumulate a large amount of technical and experimental data?
Liao Yunting looked at Fu Fengcheng pitifully, is your wife a lunatic?
Da Shao Fu's expression was flat, "Do you want to continue Mr. Liao's research?"
Liao Yunting instantly forgot about Leng Sa, his eyes lit up and he said firmly, "Of course!"
Fu Fengcheng nodded, "That's hard work. I hope to see a feasibility report in response to the opinions raised by Madam just now. On the other hand, Mr. Liao doesn't need to worry about financial, human and resources."
Liao Yunting is a smart person, and of course he understands what Master Fu means.
Between human nature and science, he decisively chose the latter. He said aggressively, "I want people! There are not enough people right now!"
Fu Fengcheng nodded, "No problem. In half a month, there will be seven scholars who are quite accomplished in this field returning 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 the Machinery Manufacturing Institute of Southern Six Provinces will come to assist Mr. Liao in his research."
"..." You two are devils.
Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa don't care about Liao Yunting's accusations. If the development of something will become an inevitable trend, then it is absolutely necessary to ensure that you are ahead of others.
After all, if you don't do it, others will. Even without a cold reminder, Master Fu thought of this inevitable future the first moment he saw the plane.
And he doesn't think that he is the only smart person in this world, and there are definitely no less people who think like him.
Therefore, Anxia must not fall behind in this regard.
