Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 299 Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company

  (Chapter 301 entered the palace yesterday and is under active revision. There are two more chapters today, which will be issued later, so stay tuned.)

  After the military formation ceremony, the impact on the people was shocking and far-reaching. With such a mighty and mighty soldier defending their homeland, people have more confident smiles on their faces and their waists straightened.

  Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company, Beilun Town

This is the first company in the world to produce gas stoves. Its products are mainly divided into two categories: gas stoves and gas tanks, covering a variety of life application scenarios, and are widely used in military camps, restaurants, homes and other places, especially in the European and American markets. Welcome, the production and sales have soared month by month, and it is one of the leading products exported by Beilun Town.

  Only gas stoves are divided into more than a dozen products of different models such as single stove, double stove, multiple stoves, hotel-specific high-fire stoves, European-style high-end gold-plated stoves, etc., covering most of the user groups.

There are five types of gas tanks: two kilograms, 5 kilograms, 10 kilograms, 20 kilograms, and 50 kilograms. The two kilograms of gas tanks are bright and colorful. They are suitable for taking out for a picnic, or they can be placed in a carriage to make coffee. , Compact and does not take up space.

The 5kg and 10kg gas tanks are mainly for household use. They are equipped with special gas burners. In the kitchen, bid farewell to the smoky wood stoves and coal stoves. They are sincerely loved by housewives in Europe and America, and they have almost become essential household appliances. .

The large gas tanks of 20 kg and 50 kg are mainly used in military kitchens and canteens. Only orders from the military of European and American countries have already made Fulinmen Gas listed companies a lot of money. European partners are extremely satisfied with this. .

There is no shortage of gas in Europe and North America. These resources that were burned in vain are now turned into sweet pastries that can make a lot of money. This delights businessmen engaged in the coking coal industry and actively invests in the construction of supporting facilities such as gas storage stations. Further promote the widespread popularity of gas stoves and gas tanks in Europe and the United States.

  This industry is now in the ascendant, it is the era of booming sunrise.

  In the workshop

  Li Fushou, accompanied by a staff of entourage, came to the warehouse full of gas tanks. He reached out and picked up the 10 kg empty gas tank, feeling heavy and heavy.

  What does it feel like, anyway, it's silly and thick.

  The consumption outlook of Europeans in this era is very practical. It does not matter whether it is beautiful or not. The most important thing is that it is durable, uses enough materials, and can be passed on to future generations in a lifetime.

   "Yes, the quality looks good." Li Fushou put down the gas tank, looked at the mountains of products around him and asked; "Are there any buyers for these gas tanks?"

   "Yes, Lord Piaget, these are 35,000 gas tanks ordered by the Italian Patrio Company. We are organizing personnel to hurry up production. It is expected that they will be shipped to Europe in three days."

  "Are there many large orders like this?"

   "There are many more. We have more than 20 large orders for more than 10,000 gas tanks at one time. In addition, other requirements are enough to produce until the end of next year."

  "Is the production capacity tight? Have measures been taken to solve it?"

   "If you go back to Lord Piaget, our company is in Songjiang Town to carry out the third phase of capacity construction. Using Songjiang Town’s abundant power resources to produce can further reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase revenue levels to meet the strong demand in the international market."

"Very well, it seems that you are very thoughtful." Li Fushou nodded in satisfaction, and said as he walked; "The construction of the Red River Valley requires the hard work of your team of capable workers. I remember Xu Xinglin was The first batch of Jiangnan students, who used to follow me to study in Europe, and now I have made achievements in this position, how can it not be comforting?"

Xu Xinglin is the manager of Fulinmen Gas Stove Company, a 30-year-old gentleman with white-faced Confucian temperament. He said, "Students are grateful to Master Earl for his cultivation. If you don’t go out of that little world, you don’t know how big the world is. Studying in Europe This trip was a major watershed in my life, and I still benefited a lot to this day. The students feel that they are within five years?"

   "Hehe... It was originally not a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when you encounter a storm." Li Fushou's evaluation is quite high.

  Xu Xinglin's heart jumped wildly, with a grateful expression on his face and said; "Drinking water and thinking about the source, Xinglin dare not take credit, it all depends on the careful cultivation of Lord Earl."

  "You don’t have to be too modest, you can’t make a dragon pillar with a dead wood carve."

  A group of people talked, inspected the paint shop and the finished product assembly shop successively, and passed through the stamping shop to the front production shop.

  This is a large-scale welding workshop, where the stamped steel plates are welded and polished, and then enter the next process. More than 200 workers in the workshop are busy in an orderly manner, welding flowers are flying everywhere, and the sound of "ding-dang-dong" percussion is endless.

  Workers transporting semi-finished products with trolleys, the workshop is filled with a strong smell of metal welding, and the dazzling welds represent the very high-end manufacturing technology in the world today and demonstrate the power of industry.

  For safety reasons, a group of inspectors stopped at the door of the workshop, and Xu Xinglin, manager of Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company, gave a detailed introduction;

  " Lord Earl;

  Our company uses high-quality steel plates from Hongshan Iron and Steel Plant, which are stamped and formed by machine tools. At first, the welding workshop used traditional metal forging and welding technology. The pressure vessel tanks manufactured were expensive, with many defective products and unstable quality.

   has always been unable to meet the strong demand in the European market, and production orders have even been scheduled two years later.

  So we have been paying attention to the latest international welding technology development, tracking the latest research results and trying to actively introduce them, and achieved excellent results.

  Last year, the French invented the carbon arc welding machine. Our Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company was the first company to introduce it. After being proficient in it, it has greatly improved the welding quality of its products.

  Also in 1881, Dr. R.H. Thurston of the United States spent six years researching and developing a full range of copper-zinc alloy solders in the actual application of the welding process. The company also introduced the technology for the first time and applied it in actual production.

The introduction of a series of new technologies has more than quadrupled our production efficiency and reached a new high level of profit. Especially in terms of welding technology, it is ahead of the European branch of the German Krupp joint venture, and is among the first-class in the world. level.

  Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company headquarters and directly affiliated enterprises in the first half of this year alone, net profit after deducting labor and operating costs reached 436,000 pounds, a surge of 244.6% compared to last year, and both production and profits were booming.

  We expect that the profit level and output in the second half of the year will be more gratifying, and we are hopeful that it will exceed the large target of one million pounds throughout the year.

   "Well, very good. Pay attention to tracking the world's advanced welding technology and apply it to production as soon as possible. This advanced experience must be summarized and promoted." Li Fushou was extremely satisfied with this, and said to everyone repeatedly;

  "In today's world, new technologies are emerging in an endless stream, and the impact on productivity is undoubtedly huge. Especially in Europe and North America, the technology research and development capabilities are strong. At this point, Queensland is weak and there is still a long way to go.

I hope that you will use the example of Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company to thoroughly explore and organize materials for further publicity, so that everyone understands the importance of technological innovation, and form a group of people who encourage innovation, reward innovation, support innovation and actively use innovative technologies. Atmosphere.

  For all workers or teams who have made achievements in scientific and technological innovation, they should not hesitate to reward them, actively promote them, focus on the promotion and salary increase policy, and reuse scientific and technological invention talents. This is particularly important.

Gentlemen

The increase in revenue and expenditures that technological innovation brings to enterprises is just a waste of money. As shareholders of various enterprises, they are the biggest beneficiaries. I don’t need to emphasize this point any more. Spending a small amount of money to support technological innovation is cost-effective no matter how you look at it. Sale.

  I hope that the advanced welding technology of Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company can be quickly promoted and applied in Hongshan Shipyard and other steel manufacturing enterprises, so that the production capacity of Honghe Valley Heavy Industry will reach a new level.

  The so-called professional excellence, we must encourage the spirit of excellence in business operations, such as the rapid development of welding technology, is this the ultimate development?

  Obviously not. With the emergence of more new technologies, it now seems that quite high-end welding technology may soon be out of date.

  This requires us to encourage innovation. I remember that electric welding technology was proposed very early. Why has no one developed new results?

  This is a scientific research development direction, so let’s...

  Fulinmen Gas Stove Company will take out 3000 pounds from the company’s own funds to organize the factory’s technical staff to form a special research group. In the technical research, experts and professors from Red River Valley University can be invited to participate in the study of the practical feasibility of electric welding technology. "

  In response to Lord Earl’s repeated instructions, everyone did not dare to neglect, and they all expressed that they would attach great importance to scientific and technological research and development. They will widely publicize the advanced cases of Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company's emphasis on scientific and technological application, and create a good atmosphere of focusing on scientific and technological innovation.

  Fulinmen gas stove company manager Xu Xinglin positively expressed;

   will quickly implement the instructions of Lord Earl, and set up an electric welding technology research team in the factory to concentrate on scientific and technological research on electric welding technology.

   "This matter is biased. It is not just the electric welding technology I mentioned, but a comprehensive study of welding technology and steel process technology to demonstrate various feasibility."

  Li Fushou was in high spirits today. He thought about it and said, "Zhong Zhai, remember this matter, and arrange for someone to supervise it when you go back.

  The electric welding technology research team is located in the Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company. It is enough to keep an eye on the specific scientific research progress. If necessary, financial support can be given to it.

The beneficiary of welding technology is not only this factory, let Hongshan Shipyard also take out a sum of money from its own funds, we will allocate another 2,000 pounds of research and development funds from the internal warehouse to establish a laboratory for research and development of welding technology , Specifically located in the Red River Valley University, using the joint efforts of the factory and the school for scientific research and development.

  This matter is generalized

Hongshan Iron and Steel Plant has made a lot of money in the past two years, but it has not been very active in scientific and technological research and development. The secretariat issued a document focusing on hitting them. It is possible to consider making appropriate adjustments to the business management and selecting enterprises with more scientific and technological innovation spirit. By.

Hmm... Let Hongshan Iron and Steel Plant allocate no less than £20,000 per year for special scientific research funds, and the inner warehouse allocates £10,000 per year for special scientific and technological support funds to establish a steel process research laboratory at Red River Valley University to study various special steel processes . "

  Speaking of which

Li Fushou paused, looking around everyone with a solemn expression; "You all know about the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the throne. The design and construction of heavy armored cruisers involves the Harvey armored steel just developed by the United Kingdom. A special high-hardness carburizing steel that is 77% stronger than the old armored steel. The technology is very advanced, but the price is also very expensive.

  Our Hongshan Iron and Steel Plant cannot develop or produce it, so it can only be imported from the UK at a high price.

  Why can people develop it, but we can’t develop it?

  Is there any insurmountable threshold?

  The answer is obviously; no.

  Why do the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States continue to achieve scientific and technological achievements, but we seem to be forgotten corners of technology and rarely see the achievements of scientific and technological innovation?

  On the one hand, because of the weak scientific and technological background, it is still in the stage of learning and absorbing advanced Western technology, and it has not formed its own scientific and technological research and development capabilities.

  On the other hand, because of insufficient attention, there is no good atmosphere to encourage innovation. This situation must not continue, and must be changed.

  From a policy perspective

The secretariat will focus on the research. Recently, a policy to encourage innovation has been introduced. All companies and individuals that have made major innovations should be heavily rewarded, improved treatment, and priority promotion. Priority is given to housing and marriage policies, scientific research funding is prioritized, and scientific research projects are prioritized. Form certain rules and implement them.

I don’t want to make breakthroughs in various fields of science and technology, but in the key development areas of Red River Valley enterprises, such as special steel technology, advanced welding technology, diesel engine and steam engine manufacturing technology, coal chemical technology, advanced wool spinning technology and other scientific and technological fields, we must Persistently give key attention and key support, hoping to make breakthrough progress, reach and maintain world-class standards.

  This is the foundation of Australia's industrial development, and you must not neglect it.

Let’s not lie on our laurels and be proud and complacent. We must know that Australia is just a younger brother in technology research and development. NS.

   Stay in peace and think about danger, know the shame and then be courageous, and the good is also! "

  All the important people who said this long-term remark were red-faced, and Lord Earl could not rub any sand in his eyes. In front of such a wise high-ranking person, it is definitely not good to live in mud, and they all said;

   "I will keep this in mind, and never dare to violate the high expectations of Lord Earl."

   "I am ashamed of my humble job. After I go back, I will definitely focus on scientific research and innovation as the current key work. You must make achievements so that you can live up to the ardent entrustment of Lord Earl."

   "I am ashamed of Jiang Dong for not making any achievements."

"Please rest assured, Lord Earl. After the Honghe Wool Spinning Plant returns, it will organize elite troops to go to Europe to conduct a thorough investigation of the world’s advanced textile technology and projects under development. Focus on key research projects that can be improved and strengthened, so as to make wool spinning technology to the next level and maintain its leading position in the industry."

  "Red River Valley Industrial Corporation dare not fall behind, it will definitely work hard..."

  ...

  Seeing everyone expressing positive attitudes, Li Fushou nodded with relief.

The more the merrier…

  Science and technology development is not a person’s business, but requires the efforts of the whole society. What can be done just by running the call sign alone?
