He's in the west, he's a cowboy

Arthur and the others started taking a vacation as soon as they got home, but Zhou Zheng couldn't take a rest. After being away for so many days, he had a backlog of too many things. He was the boss, and no one would do anything if he didn't do it.

After sorting out the backlog of things, Zhou Zheng still wanted to plan the location of the factory in the future. In order to choose the best location, Zhou Zheng took the Lane brothers to wander around the entire territory for several days, and finally decided to locate the factory in Wallace. Behind the train station.

It is close to the station and water source, which is the biggest advantage. It will be convenient for both incoming and outgoing goods in the future.

The location has been decided, and construction is about to begin. The factory cannot be made of wood like the house at home. This thing really needs to be made of real materials.

Bricks, cement, yellow sand, steel bars, and even supporting machinery all had to be purchased one by one. Many of them could not be purchased in Strawberry Town, not to mention Blackwater Town. In the end, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to ask someone to go to the Holy Land. Dennis went to buy it.

The Lane brothers built themselves a huge laboratory. The two of them took several recruited technical workers and hid in it to conduct careful research.

These technicians are what William said, recruited from several universities in the east. Of course, don't even think about serious top students. Those who are really capable are hired by major companies and even national agencies before they graduate. Booked.

Of course, it's not bad as it is now. In the words of the Lane brothers, at least there are people to help with the work.

In the small factory they used to have, they were the only ones who really understood technology, and the others were just workers. Now, regardless of whether their skills are good or not, these students can at least help.

Zhou Zheng had never built such a large factory in his life or in his previous life. It was indeed the first time for the eldest girl to get on the sedan chair. After nearly half a year of back and forth, the framework of the entire factory was finally completed.

When a new factory is built, it must be profitable. With such a big place and so many machines, if it doesn't move, it will cause losses every day.

Cars cannot be made in a day, not even simple parts. In the end, Zhou Zheng could only let the factory start producing some simple tools. However, he never expected that those new skilled workers would really give Zhou Zheng some surprises. harvest.

The reason is very simple. Didn't Zhou Zheng cooperate with the Apsidelin Timber Factory? They heard that Zhou Zheng had set up a small factory. In line with the principle that the partners' wool should not be harvested, they bought some saws at a low price. , a hammer or something like that.

Zhou Zheng had an idea and asked the technical workers to make the engine smaller, and then connected it to the saw, and successfully made a bankrupt version of the electric saw.

Although it can be seen from Zhou Zheng's perspective, this thing is simply nonsense. A large engine is placed on the ground. After the engine works, it drives a long chain, and then the chain is connected to the saw in his hand, allowing the blade to rotate.

It is inconvenient to carry, heavy, noisy, and consumes fuel. Moreover, when the chain is moving, you cannot hold the saw firmly with both hands. In Zhou Zheng’s words, it is simply useless.

Every time you use it, you have to transport the heavy engine first, and then carefully install the chain. If you are not careful during use, you can get people into the chain.

After use, you need to maintain and oil the chain. Due to the material, if it is not oiled and maintained properly, it will soon rust.

But even with so many shortcomings, this thing still successfully aroused the interest of the owner of Apsidelin Timber Factory.

He even came to watch the demonstration of the bankrupt electric saw in person. After seeing a skilled worker saw down a towering tree in just a few minutes and quickly complete some simple cutting and assembly work. , immediately decided to make a special investment in Zhou Zheng’s factory to research new types of chainsaws.

Zhou Zheng naturally accepted such a good thing with a smile, which also gave Zhou Zheng a reassurance.

At least in this way, even if the car cannot be built in the future, he can still let people continue to study chainsaws and other things, and at least the money spent will not be lost.

However, this reminded Zhou Zheng that there was no need for him to stick to the automobile industry. Anyway, now that he had an engine, he could make a simple-to-use civilian machine.

For things like tractors and three-wheelers, as long as the engine problem is solved, the technical content of other parts can be said to be extremely low. You can simply modify the existing engine slightly and start selling it quickly to make money.

As the saying goes, those who have money but don't make money are bastards. With Zhou Zheng's insight beyond the times and the technical support of the Lane brothers, all kinds of weird and weird things were developed.

No matter whether it is useful or not, as long as he builds a decent thing, Zhou Zheng will take it to Blackwater Town, Strawberry Town and even Valentine to display it. On the one hand, he wants to advertise his factory, and on the other hand, he also wants to see what he can do. You can’t trick two bad guys into investing.

After all, scientific research is indeed a waste of money, and the landlords don’t have much surplus food.

Soon, the first generation of cargo tractors was officially released, but it was still terrible and a bankrupt version.

This time the thing is even simpler. On the front of an iron carriage frame is installed an engine that has no advantages except for its power. With the addition of a small steering wheel, the thing is ready.

As for the chassis and transmission? That would be even simpler. Just take out the things that Henry Ford researched and modify them, and you're done.

In Zhou Zheng's words, the only advantage of this thing is that it is cheap and sturdy. After all, except for the engine, there is really nothing that can be broken...

There is another very important thing that Zhou Zheng has not forgotten, and that is oil.

This thing is a good thing. Whether it's a chainsaw, a future three-bung tractor, or even a far-off car, it all needs oil. Without oil, it's just a pile of scrap metal.

So Zhou Zheng had the foresight to take his people to the oil refinery in the heart of the earth, and at a small cost, he directly signed a twenty-year supply order at a very good price.

This outrageous contract naturally has the credit of the foremen who exchanged oil for their wine all year round.

Things have to be sold after they are made. For this reason, Zhou Zheng could only take Trelawney back and forth to places such as Saint Denis and Annesburg. He became a new generation of goods delivery anchor, driving his tractor everywhere to amuse his new products. product.

However, we have achieved initial results. Zhou Zheng can only say that our business is booming! ! !
