Chapter 1146 Boss, your reward is too generous (second update)

Chapter 1155

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yang rushed to the hidden glass workshop, accompanied by Mr. Niu and his son, who had come to wait early.

It was right next door to Wang Yang's Wushan Printing House. He spent a lot of money early on to buy the dozens of acres of river beach land around Wushan Printing House.

When Wang Yang and a group of others arrived here, the furnace in the glass workshop was slowly emitting light green smoke.

But Guanshi Niu did not take Wang Yang directly to the workshop where work was being done. Instead, he led Wang Yang to a warehouse first.

"What is displayed here are all kinds of samples produced by the glass craftsmen in our glass workshop over the past few years..."

"From the stone lumps that were fired in the earliest days, to the flat glass that can be fired today, and these glassware are made according to the blowing method you mentioned..." Pushed away Behind the warehouse door, Steward Niu acted as the commentator of the Dasong Glass History Museum with a red face.

Wang Yang walked in the front, looking at the various glass products placed on rows of wooden shelves with great interest.

From the initial glass lumps whose colors were almost indistinguishable, to those weirdly colored glassware, and underneath each sample.

There is a piece of paper on which it is recorded which place the quartz stone was used for firing, how much soda ash was used, etc...

Wang Yang stayed inside for nearly an hour, stopping in front of each sample for a long time, and read the contents on the pieces of paper in detail.

The records were very detailed. Looking at these recording papers and the glass products on them, Wang Yang seemed to see the hard work of these craftsmen day and night, and they were able to bake these products in just a few years. Now this kind of glass that looks very pure.

After leaving the sample warehouse, under the guidance of Steward Niu, Wang Yang walked towards the rear of the glass workshop and came to the glass kiln where the smoke was rising.

At this moment, the craftsmen were busy. Wang Yang watched as a craftsman used a long-handled iron spoon to scoop out a large spoonful of the red glass solution, and then poured it onto the shiny and smooth stone slab. above.

Then the two craftsmen began to crush a thick and round stone rod on it. Soon, the glass solution that occasionally burst into flames was gradually crushed and flattened.

After the heat gradually dropped, he carefully clamped the flat glass with something. At this time, although the glass appeared to be very flat, it had irregular shapes around it.

Then, after careful cutting with diamond tools, another piece of smooth flat glass appeared in front of Wang Yang and others.

Next to it, another craftsman was inserting a long tube into the glass solution. After stirring up a lump of fist-sized glass solution, he spun it around and blew air hard into the long metal tube with his mouth puffed up.

Soon, the glass solution in front of the long tube began to expand, and with his advocacy, soon, a round glass vessel gradually appeared.

And when he felt that the shape and size of the glass vessel were satisfactory, he took a pair of scissors and cut it, and then quickly finished the opening of the glass vessel.

A complete and round bottle, similar to a gourd, appeared in front of people's eyes.

"My dear, this thing was actually blown by his mother. This is so awesome..." Ling Zong exclaimed with his eyes bulging and his mouth smacked.

And his mouth finally alarmed the craftsmen who were busy there.

The craftsmen inside did not expect Wang Yang, the owner, to appear at this time, and they all stopped their work and came to see the ceremony.

As the owner, Wang Yang naturally praised these artisans who have devoted countless efforts and sweat to the glass industry.

Wang Yang not only gave these five craftsmen who had become veteran drivers of the glass workshop a reward, but also promised them that when the glass workshop is officially commercialized, they will all receive dividends from the glass workshop's shares.In return for their efforts in the glass workshop.

The wrinkled old faces of these old craftsmen revealed an expression of shock that could not be concealed.

"Don't be surprised, Manager Niu, take those share contracts and distribute them to the masters who have worked hard for several years for the glass workshop..."

"Master, your reward is too generous. I really can't bear it..." Looking at the contract that had been prepared, the leader, Master Wang, was so excited that his mouth trembled.

"I can't help it. You have put so much effort and sweat into Wang's affairs and this glass workshop that was built from scratch. Without you, these things would not exist, so you deserve these shares." of."

Seeing that Wang Yang was so persistent, he was not being polite. These old craftsmen seemed to understand that Wang Yang was telling the truth.

Now, a group of old craftsmen didn't know what to say.

Originally, they were just some poor men working for others, but Wang Yang recruited them when he was burning cement, so that they got a job with a very stable income to support their families.

After that, let them enter the glass workshop, although the wages here are more than double the wages in the cement workshop.

However, in the early and mid-term, they were very worried about their work, worried that they would be fired by their bosses if they failed to achieve results.

But even in the past one year, the glass firing work has hardly progressed, Wang Yang, the owner, not only did not blame them.

On the contrary, their wages have increased by another [-]%. The sense of urgency of worrying about losing their jobs and the excitement brought about by the wage increase have all turned into motivation to work hard to make the glass products that the employer needs.

In the end, the glass products expected by the owner were finally made, and at this time, the owner was so generous that he wanted to give shares to these craftsmen.

This made these bitter craftsmen not excited, all of them shed hot tears on the spot, clumsily stamped their bright red handprints on the contract with their fingers, and turned towards Wang Yang, the boss. Thank you very much.

Looking at these excited old craftsmen who could even stammer their thanks, Wang Yang showed a gentle and gratified smile.

It is precisely because of their efforts that the Song Dynasty also had glass.With glass, Wang Yang finally had a foundation for many things he wanted to do.

"From today onwards, the glass workshop will start to expand. In addition, we need to recruit manpower. It is estimated that within a month, we will build two fire kilns first. As for the workers here, we will just choose from our cement workshop..."

"In addition, the formula for firing pure glass must not be disclosed. This is a big issue related to your shareholders and Mr. Wang's income..."
