From Chief to Ball

The glass workshop in Nan'an was expanded to only produce flat glass as the main business, under the supervision of Chen Jian.

All purchases and raw material prices are handled by special personnel, and the price negotiation is jointly negotiated by shareholders.

Chen Jian's chemical workshop provides alkali to the glass factory according to the market price, and the chemical workshop has the priority of alkali.

As a cooperative trading company, the charitable trading company will open the market in the capital city and coastal counties, and has the exclusive monopoly right for a period of two years. After two years, the exclusive monopoly right can be auctioned.

Internal technological innovation is purchased by internal funds, and technology is blocked externally.Equity cannot be sold externally and can only be digested internally.For Chen Jian's new workshop technology, the shareholders of the glass factory have preferential access to equity.

When this not-so-perfect cooperative workshop agreement was signed, the glass guild in Mincheng became history.

Chapter 71 Old

The demise of the old glass guild and the birth of the new glass workshop happened on the same day. From this day onwards, only the glass with the paper label of Nan'an Glass Factory was pasted with gum in Mincheng, and there was no other glass.

The glass from other counties has no chance to enter the Mincheng market, and a single person is unable to compete with this new glass factory. It seems that the guild is gone, but everything that the guild should have exists.

Not long after, the vigorous and vulgar running water banquet was opened on the ruins of the original charity trading company. The gongs and drums were beating and drumming were very lively. Chen Jian could finally pat his chest and say that his fame was well known in Mincheng.

Behind the excitement, the lawsuit between the trading company and the original glass guild was still going on, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was just a formality and forced Tian Wenliang to quit completely.

As for the disability of those hired workers, it is not actually the concern of the law or the magistrates.Now that the glass guild has been disbanded, it will be much easier to adjudicate the lawsuit.

Under the fierce criticism of public opinion, because of Tian Wenliang's health, the council dismissed Tian Wenliang as a council member.

Most of the original owners of the glass guild came forward to deny that they had nothing to do with the previous employee fights. Normally, all the responsibilities for this can be pushed to the employees, but Tian Wenliang is now a dog in the water, so some responsibilities can be shirked Come to him, and comfort the injured hired workers by the way.

The trading company and Tian Wenliang each gave half of the compensation to the injured employees. Tian Wenliang needed to compensate for the loss of the burning company. At the same time, the trading company and the new glass factory jointly came forward to guarantee the whereabouts of the employees.

As for things like lynching to extract confessions, it was a formality, because waterboarding will not break arms and legs, let alone cannonballs and other things that leave indelible scars, so he was sentenced to two years of working in a government-run mine. Chen Jian's side He came forward and promised to give one hundred silver coins plus work after returning, so those who resisted the incident didn't care and thought they had changed their destiny.

It started vigorously and ended quietly. Not long after, the news of Tian Wenliang's hemiplegia came, and there was not much splash.As for the dozen hired workers whose eyes were splashed with acid and whose bones were broken, they were quickly forgotten and no longer cared about.

Instead of caring about this, it is better to care about a secondary school built by the charity business company in Nan'an. Children who have completed enlightenment can be admitted after passing the exam. Workshop work.

Since the Charity Trading Company is good, then those who opposed the Charity Trading Company must be bad.

Most people don't care about Tian Wenliang's ending, so naturally they don't know that one day and a certain time, an old man who was hemiplegic and struggling to move on crutches came to his glass workshop that hadn't been lit for a long time, and sat in front of the workshop. , Let the family ignite the useless stove and put the ingredients in it to melt.

Staring at the red fire and the glass frit in the crucible, the old man tried his best to stand up, picked up an iron pipe with the other half of his movable arm, picked up a little glass slurry, opened it already trembling and even spoke The unclear mouth is contained in the blowpipe, blowing with the numb tongue, but it always spits out a lot of saliva.

The round bottle that could have been shaken out with the wrist is now as deformed as this hemiplegic person.

After blowing for a long time, he couldn't blow it into shape, but he didn't stop, and continued to pick and choose, until finally he didn't know what he thought of, threw away the blowpipe, and the big man was crying...

Not long after, the house where there were always hired people standing at the door angrily denouncing the people inside as blood-sucking dirty maggots was sold, and the previous owner disappeared in Mincheng without knowing where. .

Occasionally, someone may think of it and ask a question in the chat.The person who answered always shook his head, and said indifferently, who knows, maybe he died of old age, why are you talking about this?Let's talk about the new house built by the charity trading company on the ruins of the original one. It seems to be very tall...

……

As the winner of this engulfment, a new glass factory is under construction. With the injection of new capital, the purchase of raw materials and the expansion of production do not need to use Chen Jian's own money.

Chen Jian's own money finally became more abundant, and finally he was able to use part of the funds in his hands to the charity business company and expand his other workshops in Nan'an.

After discussing with Hu Lin, the Charity Trading Company can finally buy two offshore ships to do some transshipment trade, and at the same time seize the time to build sales channels in nearby counties and counties, so as to open up the situation in nearby counties and counties as soon as possible.

If there is a boat, in addition to transshipment of glass, it can also help Chen Jian sell other products, and if it is not possible, he can also resell silk, cotton, porcelain, iron and the like.

However, sea-going ships need to be booked. Chen Jian thought that he could try to get the shipyard to build a ship that could sail long distances. For the time being, he went to the shipyard to book two offshore hard sailing ships.

Chen Jian in the capital decided to wait until the beginning of next year to go with Hu Lin. It just so happened that next year was the year of the traditional competitive competition that lasted for many years, so it was completely possible to make a fuss about it.

Hu Lin has friends in the capital, and Chen Jian feels that he can still make some big noises. It is not a big problem to open up the market in the capital by relying on his fame and connections.

Chen Jian really had no choice but to delay going to the capital until next spring.Selling glass is just one of them. He must prepare several very important experimental equipment before the spring.

The emotion of trying to go to sea is already imminent, but there are too many risks at sea, and it is unknown to be buried in the belly of a fisherman. Therefore, before going to sea, several important experiments must be completed in full view, laying the foundation for various disciplines later, even if you die. Someone will continue the idea and continue to complete.

He knew why senior brother Li Yun came here, especially after Li Yun agreed to stay here for a month, Chen Jian was so busy that he was going crazy.

I have to prepare various things during the day, and stay up late at night to complete a system of all the speculations I wrote to Mr. Mu before, so that Li Yun can take it back.

The previous system was not complete, and many questions needed logical answers. The purpose of Li Yun and others was to sort out these contents, and bring them back to the capital after discussion, so as to avoid misunderstandings caused by written correspondence.

There was a lot of preparation to be done, and within a month Chen Jian lived an inhuman life, exhausting all his thoughts.In addition to completing and discussing his own system with his seniors, he also had to prepare some gifts for Li Yun to go back.

Different people need different gifts, but Chen Jian believes that his brother or husband will definitely like the gift he prepared.

Prepare two bags of superphosphate fertilizer co-crystallized by concentrated sulfuric acid and ashes, two bags of crude ammonia water and ammonium salt produced by acid, and two sets of concentrated sulfuric acid and protective containers to prevent it from breaking halfway.

These are expensive things, but Chen Jian thinks the money is worth it.

In addition, there are glassware made of borax and potassium carbonate that are not easy to burst. I found the best glass blower and worked for a month to make a lot of retorts, test tubes, and alcohol. Indispensable equipment such as lamps, flasks, funnels and beakers.

Specially prepared special boxes, put these utensils together, and wrote some usage specifications for utensils, together with reagents and preparation methods such as litmus juice.

After completing all this a month later, Li Yun and the others basically understood many things they didn't understand before, and they wanted to go back to the capital as soon as possible to sort out these things.

"Brother, I won't go to the capital for now, see you next spring. Say hello to Mr. for me, and send these gifts there for me."

"Sir will like it, and we will finish your experiment as soon as possible when we go back."

Chen Jian took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it over, "Some things were summarized when I was in the workshop. You can take them back. There are some common problems in it, such as don't smell it all the time or Tasting the liquid after the experiment, such as adding concentrated acid to water, whether it is acid first and then water or water first and then acid... It is an experience in exchange for life and scars."

"Also, you must be careful on the road. Some things are fragile, and some things will be dangerous if spilled, but there is no way."

Li Yun took it and sighed: "I thought you would go back with me this time, but I always feel that what you are doing here is actually better than going to the academy to study."

"I can't help myself. It would be great if I was born with a golden key in my mouth and a wealthy family. As you can see, I still have a workshop to expand here. I hope that you will study knowledge in the capital. I will turn knowledge into After you go back, you must ask Mr. to help find a handy craftsman who makes scales, and help me find a highly skilled draftsman."

"Well, I've made a note of it. Junior brother, don't pass by, see you next spring. Go there earlier, how can there be a disciple like you?"

Li Yun shook her head and mournfully said: "Junior Brother, I am here this time to discuss these matters with you, but there is another very important matter."

With a bit of sadness, he finally said: "Don't push anymore, sir's health is getting worse day by day."

Only then did Chen Jian understand and was speechless.

Li Yun didn't say any more, just squeezed Chen Jian's shoulder hard, turned around and boarded the boat.

Chapter 72 Mincheng Autumn and Winter, Miscellaneous Notes of the Capital ([-])

For those who are busy and dizzy, the concept of time is always blurred. In addition, Mincheng is warm and wintery with no snow, which intensifies this blur and confusion.

Or on an evening in autumn or winter, a new masonry site is still being built on the ruins of the Charity Trading Company.

The most difficult foundation and the arch coupons on the first floor to withstand the upper pressure are roughly completed. Every day, many people gather to watch the construction here.
