    "Sir, an engineer will be paid 10 taels of silver a month, and there will be dividends at the end of the year A junior apprentice will get 3 taels of silver, and there will also be dividends!" Cheng Daqi was surprised and confirmed the news he just heard to Lu Hong again. An engineer, for one year  You can earn 120 taels of wages, plus a red envelope at the end of the year, which may be an income of hundreds of taels In this era, one stone and meter is only one and a half taels of silver. This kind of income is a high income even in Shanghai, a ten-mile foreign market.  Ah, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau can be considered a place with relatively high remuneration among government-run industries. However, the biggest problem in government-run industries is the rigidity of the system.  Lu Hong naturally nodded with a very sincere attitude, patted Cheng Daqi's shoulder again, and smiled slightly, "Old Cheng, do you think this salary is reasonable?" The pimples on Cheng Daqi's face were also a little red with excitement, and he waved his hands hurriedly.  Said: "Sir, it's reasonableit's too reasonable. Tell me, how many workers do you want? What are your requirements? To be able to get this salary, you have to have something to do!" The salary of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau workers is already over ten  There have been no substantive changes in the past year. Of course, this is limited to workers. In fact, there are a lot of supervisors and assistants in Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and these people are obviously well-educated. Even if they understand the industry, they do not understand the technology.  Many of the apprentices who studied with foreign technicians in the manufacturing bureau have grown into engineers, and among the new young people, there are also many workers who have learned a lot. However, here, workers have to become engineers.  That's the end, and it's even more common for people who have worked for more than ten years and are skilled but unable to become engineers. In the past few years, the manufacturing bureau has not only failed to expand its industrial scale, but has left a large number of factories without work. This has further exacerbated the situation.  The dissatisfaction of the workers was revealed!  Of course, Lu Hong had learned about Cheng Daqi carefully. He had a family and a small business, and he had worked in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau for more than ten years. He was obviously a reliable man. He had more than one industry at hand, and the technical talents of this era were  , to put it bluntly, resources are really scarce, so poaching from these government-run industries is obviously the only choice He discussed with Cheng Daqi in a low voice for a while, then left with an excited look on his face. Lu Hong now has money in hand.  There was also some nervousness, but fortunately, Huang Zuluo and Ruisheng had investment funds in hand, and the first investment in the silk reeling industry obviously had to be implemented as soon as possible, so that the situation could be opened up as soon as possible.  In the afternoon of the same day, he visited Sun Heshun again. The two discussed the composition of the joint venture industry and basically finalized it. Huang Zuluo, Ruisheng, Li Jingxiang, Lu Hong, and Sun Heshun each held 20% of the shares. Of course, Lu Hong  Bian only invested in technology, and Sun Heshun also invested 10,000 taels of silver. In this way, the scale of the entire silk reeling factory initially reached 85,000 taels It seems like a lot of silver, but speaking of it, it is really  A small business.  However, Sun Heshun is obviously very confident. The Zhang family has a wide network of contacts. In fact, after Lu Hong proposed the prospect of the silk reeling industry, he has studied it in depth. Even the European and American businessmen in his next family have already  After making contact, Zhang Shuhe was naturally very interested in the industry run by his nephew. They both had the same view. As long as the reeling machine was proven to work effectively, the profits of the industry would be very objective!  In front of Lu Hong, Sun Heshun had no intention of hiding anything. He was a shrewd businessman. Lu Hong was actually the real core of the industry. He had already understood this clearly. Although he had no intention of hiding it in front of the imperial envoy.  He still hasn¡¯t figured out the origins of a popular person, but to a businessman, this is not important!  After Lu Hong heard this, he was a little more satisfied with this guy's character. Behind this industry, there is naturally the possibility of in-depth cooperation. He has no intention of becoming a millionaire, but the management of the industry definitely requires  There are talents in this field, and in this era, there are many smart Chinese businessmen, but the most important thing is to be able to reassure yourself!  "Shopkeeper Sun, of course I'm bothering you with this industry matter. I'll give you news soon about the reeling machine Please don't worry about other things!" Lu Hong immediately became the shopkeeper. In fact,  , he couldn't have the time to participate even if he wanted to, so he simply showed more generosity.  Sun Heshun cupped his hands and responded with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I have already discussed the factory with my uncle. He happens to have a southern goods factory idle in Dongjiadu. Let us use it first, the female workers and apprentices.  , I have already gone to Huai¡¯an, Fengyang, and Sizhou to recruit people. There was a disaster there years ago, and this person is very easy to recruit!¡±  It is not difficult to see the shrewdness of Shanghai merchants in this era. The raw silk industry was obviously not a huge profit industry in this era. However, Sun Heshun clearly saw the profit points in the industrialization of silk reeling. Given the scale of the domestic silk industry, it was absolutely  It is profitable, so the Zhang family will take over without hesitation.  Hearing that there had been disasters in Jiangsu and Anhui, Lu Hong casually said: "Shopkeeper Sun?Are the disasters in Huai'an, Fengyang, and Sizhou serious?  When I was young, I lived in Mengyin, Shandong Province. There was also a locust plague last fall. This year, the number of beggars increased several times!  " When talking about this matter, Sun Heshun looked a little strange. He thought about it for a moment and then said: "Master Lu, it is much more serious than the border in Shandong. We send people to recruit workers, most of whom sign long-term contracts directly and pay them out in one go.  If you have more food and money, your future salary will be very low!  ¡± Hearing this guy¡¯s explanation, a term popped up in Lu Hong¡¯s mind - bonded labor. This really means low-cost labor. He didn¡¯t expect that as soon as he entered the old era, he would immediately transform into an evil capitalist.  And they are capitalists who exploit those who work hard However, it is obvious that I have no ability to change these things for the time being. If I change it, it will probably be thankless! Before evening, I finally negotiated all the arrangements with Sun Heshun. Of course, for my upcoming  He had never mentioned the machine factory he was building to Sun Heshun, not because he was deliberately hiding it, but because Sun Heshun was not interested at all. His request was very simple, to get the machine as soon as possible and put it into production early the next morning.  What Lu Hong expected was that Cheng Daqi and Cheng Mapi appeared outside the official residence early in the morning. After entering, he took out a large stack of contracts. Just yesterday afternoon, he had helped Lu Hong recruit 10 engineers and 15 engineers.  If Lu Hong hadn't agreed to only recruit 25 people for the time being, he would have been able to get more contracts today. Lu Hong looked at the list and saw that they were all ordinary names. However, he knew that  If his industry can advance smoothly, and these people can follow him steadily, perhaps, these names will be engraved on historical monuments in the future And he immediately raised a strange question!
