The arrival of workers, especially the technical workers who have received professional training in Germany, was a certain impact on Baotou. These people lived in Baotou and lived in the rooms arranged by Liu Shu. They were relatively concentrated and did not go to the downtown area of ​​Baotou, but were only close to the Future Industrial Park.

So many blonde and blue-eyed foreigners caused a sensation. Baotou is a frontier city with a congested nose. Compradors from foreign companies come from time to time, and occasionally foreigners come, but it is the first time that there are so many and so concentrated.

Over time, the people of Baotou lost their interest. It doesn't matter. Foreigners come to work, just one nose and two eyes. These workers, in Germany, and even on ocean-going passenger ships, have received preliminary training. They cannot be said to be in Chinese, but can have simple communication. Yang Yuanzhao carefully selected some skilled workers and some young workers, also joined in. The entire soap factory has reached 500 people, which seems very inconsistent. The mutual running-in is far from perfect. However, it can basically ensure that a soap factory can operate an annual output of 3,000 tons, and the total output can reach about 2,500 tons. After getting familiar with each other, there is still a possibility of further improvement. This is basically enough to be sold in a misplaced manner.

From the next day, the workers were involved in the construction of the factory. The factory was ready and the machines were in place. It was completely different from a complete factory to start production. There were many machines that needed adjustment and debugging.

Farick was temporarily appointed as the head of the factory. He would work with York, Jerry, and other technicians to adjust the layout of the entire factory, design suitable production plans and various raw materials, and hand them over to Yang Yuanzhao. A large amount of salt, water, and animal fat were all piled up in the warehouse. The most important thing among them was the guarantee of electricity.

The most important thing about electrolyzing salt water is this electricity. In this world, electricity is in full swing. The revolution based on electricity has just had a sign that electrolysis is only the most basic. Electric motors powered by electricity have not developed significantly, and many machines and household supplies have not yet appeared. This electrolysis is enough to ensure power.

In this era, it is certainly impossible to pull a wire from Baotou. For this reason, Yang Yuanzhao specially built a generator for the industrial area, five 800-kilowatt generators, connected together in parallel. It forms a small power plant with a daily power generation capacity of about 4,000 degrees. It not only ensures the normal operation of the electrolytic cell, but also provides a lighting circuit for the industrial park, which can kill two birds with one stone.

The electricity was in place and the raw materials were in place. Under the control of skilled workers, these machines that had been in stock for several months finally started to run again in a foreign country. The unique smell of chemical plants began to gather in this factory, but for German workers, there was a familiar and exciting smell, and they finally got a job.

It seemed to work smoothly, but after it started, it seemed to be bumpy. In one morning, the entire production line stopped at least dozens of times. As for the machines that stopped temporarily, there were even more.

The reason I stopped so many times is not because I was not skilled. Among the 140 German workers, more than 80% of them came from chemical factories, and a large part of them were even directly soap factories or workers from related industries. There is no problem in manipulating these machines. The reason for listening so many times is that the newly recruited workers are also the ones.

The rigor of German workers is undoubtedly shown here. Every step and every process has strict requirements. It is a bit rigid and harsh to a certain extent. This makes Chinese workers very uncomfortable, especially some of whom have worked in chemical factories. They naturally have their own standards and have a certain rebound. Fortunately, it is Baotou here. The parents of these workers are Baoken Company. After getting the news, Liu Shu quickly reported it to Yang Yuanzhao. After Yang Yuanzhao found out, he considered it again and again, and decided to follow the facts of the Germans. With Yang Yuanzhao's support, other shareholders were very dissatisfied, and this system was implemented and became a unified standard for the new chemical factory.

At the beginning, it was still stumbling. After everyone became familiar with the process, scientific management and rigid regulations were extremely dazzling in industrial production. In just about a week, the alkaline plant had begun to take shape. Not only did the workers get started faster, but the output also rose continuously, and the yield rate was controlled to a considerable extent.

The chemical factory was successfully put into use. After the first day, the soap was produced in batches. Then the process of producing soap was natural. If it were not for the soap mold, it would take time to make it. They could even directly produce soap. A few days later, with the joint efforts of York and several technicians, the soap mold named Baojie was finally completed. The soap was put into the mold and directly forged and formed, and pieces of soap were taken off the line.

When the news came out, Baotou was in an uproar. Everyone knows that the arrival of these foreigners and the Baojie soap factory were expensive. Even these workers came for this. This is nothing, but a complex chemical factory was put into production so easily, how long did it take?

After hearing what happened here, Li Mingsheng came over to inspect and asked each step very carefully. As a senior master, he has been a manager for several months. Nowadays, he has the final say in the cement factory. The combination of the two experiences gave Li Mingsheng different insights. After thinking about it a little, he saw the benefits of doing this. Obviously, scientific management can avoid the impact of arbitrary and human errors, and reduce these to the lowest level. This is also an important guarantee of yield and output. It is also the foundation for Baojie Factory to quickly form production capacity and increase production capacity.

Li Mingsheng felt that it should be possible to combine it with Bao Jie and set the industrial standards of the cement factory. Yang Yuanzhao considered it and sent York out. York's work was very complicated. Not only was it an automobile enthusiast, but he also worked in a cement factory. When he was in the cement factory, he was just an ordinary technician and had not yet become an engineer. He was engaged in basic peripheral work. To a certain extent, he also understood the rules and regulations of the cement factory. Li Mingsheng and York started to re-form the rules and regulations of the cement factory. Both of them knew very well about the industry and had almost no effort to complete the basic adjustment of the cement factory.

Several simple rules and regulations and operating procedures were strictly implemented under the strong promotion of Li Mingsheng. In the end, after a brief twists and turns, they had extremely high results. The yield rate increased by 12% within a week, and the output also increased by almost 15%, from a stable daily 7,200 barrels to 9,100 barrels, almost reaching the limit that cement plants can produce. The average output of each calciner exceeds 3,000, which is almost a failure. In this case, the cost of the entire cement production was reduced by at least 20%, which also represents a huge increase in efficiency.

Li Mingsheng felt this effect and began to realize that sometimes, strict systems may not be inhumane. For example, the cleaning of cement furnaces looks inconspicuous. Sometimes, it may be cleaned up in two or three times. At least on the surface, there is no slag. However, Germany stipulates that 5 times. When the changes were just started, the person in charge of this work was a bit complaining. It is obvious that things can be completed in two times. Why do you have to do five times? Isn’t this a toss? But Li Mingsheng, as a manager, doesn’t know.

What are the benefits of doing this? The benefits can be seen from the actual effects. The problems that often arise in cement refining in the past no longer exist. Those responsible for observing cement furnaces can be clearer, and those that have caused impacts and troubles in the past will not appear. Now, among Li Mingsheng's disciples, the most skilled ones can almost achieve 90%, but after such improvements, it can achieve 95%. In addition, the situation in the furnace can be controlled more easily. Together, the efficiency of the cement plant has been significantly improved.

Only then did Li Mingsheng realize that he thought that he had been in the cement industry for decades and had a very good understanding of all areas of cement, but in a sense, he was still a layman. These things that he didn't understand were added together, and it was a little different. Now it was time to change.

It started with the alkali factory, and standardization and systemization seemed to be rooted in Baotou's industry. First, it was cement factories, and then even brick factories and flour factories had carried out this standardization and systematization reform. Although it was only at the workshop level, it was very strict in all aspects. This more or less improved the output and quality of Baotou's products, and to a certain extent, laid a good foundation for Baotou's takeoff.
