Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Although the situation outside is tense, it will not affect the six southern provinces in a short period of time, so the people in the six southern provinces are still living a stable and peaceful life.

Ordinary people are not sensitive to changes in the current situation, and many people even feel that life is better than before. The business in the six southern provinces in the past two years has obviously improved compared to previous years. Last year, Lengsha’s automobile factory gradually became famous in Anxia. The businessmen were well-informed and knew that the automobile factory was about to expand as early as the end of last year, so many of them did upstream and downstream supporting facilities. Many factories have moved to the vicinity of Yongcheng or come directly to set up factories.

Not only the six southern provinces, but even businessmen from other places have poured into the six southern provinces to get a share of the pie.

Automobile manufacturing itself is an extremely large industrial system. No matter how powerful the Fu family is, it is impossible to eat the entire industrial chain by themselves, not to mention that this is not a good thing for the entire industry or even the Fu family itself.

Some wealthy people also wanted to open a car factory, and the Fu family had no intention of suppressing them, and even gave them a lot of discounts. In this way, businessmen feel more at ease, and more and more businessmen come to invest in the six southern provinces, not only in automobile manufacturing but also in other industries.

Jiangcheng in the six southern provinces itself is one of the major seaports and treaty ports in Anxia. Weijia, which has a large number of merchant ships, is also in the six southern provinces. Those who do foreign trade can save a lot of transportation by opening their own factories in the six southern provinces. fee. When more people come to do business, ordinary people will have more opportunities to find jobs, and the income of ordinary people will naturally increase accordingly.

Therefore, when the south, west, and northwest are looming, the people in the six southern provinces all feel that this year is a good one.

In the workshop of a garment factory, Leng Sa toured the entire factory accompanied by a female manager.

The young female workers sat in front of the sewing machines and worked seriously. In the whole workshop, except for occasional whispered conversations, the only sound was the sewing machines.

This is a garment factory owned by Jingshu, but the garments produced are not sold in Jingshu's store, but another brand under Jingshu - Red Sleeve.

Jingshu is positioned as a high-end product, which requires various complex processes and manual work. The red sleeves are relatively cheap, and most of them are mass-produced by machines with stable quality. This was the suggestion of Sun Wei who left Yongcheng to open up the Jingshu market the year before last. After all, Leng Sa did not have the experience and plan to cultivate in the clothing industry, and she really didn't think about these things seriously.

After more than a year of development, by the end of last year, Jingshu had seven or eight branches in Anxia. Hongxiu has taken root in various cities in the six southern provinces since the end of last year, and slowly began to expand outward.

The factory that Leng Sa came to inspect today is the first garment factory in the southern six provinces to use electric sewing machines.

There are already electric sewing machines in this era, but most factories still use foot-operated sewing machines, because factories are usually built in relatively remote locations with cheap land, and these places rarely have access to electricity, and electricity costs are also high. Definitely not cheap.

Even some old-fashioned old shops still insist on using handwork.

"Look, young lady, since the replacement of electric machines, our production efficiency has more than doubled, and the workers are much more relaxed than before." The manager followed Leng Sa with a smile.

Leng Sa nodded and asked, "Are you used to the new machines?"

The manager said, "Those who can work here are all experienced veterans. I found a master teacher in advance to teach them to get started quickly. Everyone said that this electric machine is easier to learn than the original old machine." Electricity, many people dare not do it.

"Be careful, nothing will happen to you." Leng Sa said.

The manager quickly responded, "Don't worry, Young Madam, our factory operates in strict accordance with the regulations proposed by the Young Madam."

In fact, the manager thinks that Mrs. Shao has too many rules, such as the overtime hours cannot be exceeded, the minimum wage cannot be lowered, and there are fixed standards for providing lunch at noon. How can other factories treat workers so well?

Their family is unique and easy to be excluded by others. This is not to say that it can be solved with the support of the Fu family. After all, as the saying goes, cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Naturally, she also raised her opinion, but she knew that Mrs. Fu was not worried, so she didn't say anything more.

She is also a woman herself, and most of the factory stores under Jing Shu's name are female workers. If she hadn't worked under Mrs. Fu Shao and had no power or power, she might not be a factory manager no matter how capable she was.

Similarly, many of the female workers in the factory were either doing housework at home or doing odd jobs for others, or they were servants for others, and many of them were originally farming outside the city. I was lucky enough to enter Mrs. Fu Shao's factory, as long as I worked a little harder, my monthly salary would not be inferior to that of a strong laborer.

In this era, all kinds of new ideas are impacting, women can make money by themselves, as long as they are not too weak, they can stand up.

Therefore, from the manager to the ordinary female workers, I am very grateful to the young lady of the Fu family and even to the Fu family.

Leng Sa felt very satisfied after walking around the workshop twice, "In August, Jiazhou is planning to build a branch factory, and the lady of Jiazhou Governor Liang will invest. Sun Wei hopes that we will send 20 skilled workers to help Help. Is your place convenient?"

The manager thought for a while and said, "People can be transferred out, but...our factory is full of female workers, and it may be a bit difficult to ask them to leave their hometowns and go to Jiazhou..."

Not every woman has the courage to leave the place where she grew up. Sometimes even if there is something wrong with her hometown, as long as she doesn’t live in it, as long as she stays in this place, she will have a sense of security that she will never have in other places. .

Leng Sa said, "You send a notice, and you will be able to come back before the Chinese New Year on secondment for only three months. If you are willing to go, the round trip expenses, board and lodging are all included, and our salary is paid here, and ordinary workers in Jiazhou are paid according to The team leader will pay, the team leader will pay according to the foreman, and the foreman will pay according to the salary of the workshop director. There will be other rewards after returning, of course, if there are those who are willing to stay there, it is also possible."

Then the manager laughed, nodded and said, "Young Madam, don't worry, if you have the money, there will definitely be people willing to go." If you go out for three months, you can get half a year's salary, and there are other rewards, there will definitely be people willing to go. to go.

Leng Sa nodded and said, "That's good, you can figure it out."

Afterwards, Leng Sa personally went to see the place on the other side of the factory that specially made clothes for Jingshu.

Even the sewing workers here are the most skilled, and there are many embroiderers and masters who are proficient in various crafts.

Of course, their salary is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary female workers.

When Leng Sa came out of the factory, it was already twelve o'clock at noon. Yuan Ying who had just left the gate and followed her reminded in a low voice, "Young Madam, the young master is here."

Leng Sa looked up, and sure enough, First Young Master Fu was sitting in the car not far away on the side of the road looking down at things.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why is he so free today?" Young Master Fu has been in the army almost every day recently, and it is rare to be able to go home before nine o'clock in the evening. It is said that 996 is a blessing, and Fu Dashao has directly completed 597. Master Leng suspects that if he still remembers that he has a wife and child at home, Fu Dashao would have slept in the army.

Before Leng Sa could reach the front, Fu Fengcheng had already raised his head, put the documents in his hand aside and pushed the door to get off.

"Why did you come here?" Leng Sa asked curiously.

Fu Fengcheng said: "Lan Jing said that you came to inspect the factory, and I'll pick you up." He opened the door and waited for Leng Sa to enter, before Fu Fengcheng lowered his head and sat back in the car.

Leng Sa was a little curious, "What's the matter?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "Don't you want to go to Liao Yunting's place?"

Hearing this, Leng Sa's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Shaoming, who was in charge of driving, "It's today?! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

The Young Madam's eyes were too hot, Adjutant Xu twitched his foot, stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.

"..." Yuan Ying who was thrown outside was stunned.

"..." The extremely excited Master Leng: It seems that he forgot to tell Yuan Ying to drive the car back. Why is Xu Shaoming moving so fast?

The manager who came out with Leng Sa looked at Yuan Ying and coughed lightly, "Young Master and Young Madam may have something to do, do you need someone to take you back?"

Yuan Ying looked up at the sky, shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I can drive."

The young lady was in the young lady's car, so she was left behind to drive the young lady's car back, it was definitely not that the young lady had forgotten her.

Nothing wrong!

Xu Shaoming drove his car out of the city, and rushed all the way to Liao Yunting's experimental base, arriving in less than two days in the afternoon.

Today is a fine day, sunny and cloudless.

When it was half an hour's drive away from the experimental base, soldiers and horses were stationed in front of it, making it impossible for ordinary people to pass.

There are many garrisons near Yongcheng, so ordinary people will not be surprised to find that there are more garrisons here, they will only think that there is a new military camp behind it.

They passed unimpeded all the way, and they saw a large open flat ground from a distance, a plane that looked a little rough to Leng Sa was parked in the center, and Liao Yunting led a group of people running back and forth, making preparations .

Seeing Leng Sa and the others coming, Liao Yunting ran over excitedly, with a frenzied light in his eyes.

Leng Sa is sure that the light in Liao Yunting's eyes is not to welcome them, but to see the light of money. She has no doubt that in Liao Yunting's eyes, she and Fu Fengcheng are probably two cash withdrawal machines without feelings.

"Young Master Fu, Mrs. Young Master Fu, you are here, we are about to start!"

Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, "I wish Mr. Liao a successful experiment."

Liao Yunting was full of confidence, "Of course it will be successful. We have made a little improvement after the last test flight! It will definitely be better than last time." The last test was less than two months away, but the structure of Liao Yunting's aircraft is not bad. Simple but not difficult to understand.

Soon everything was ready, and with the sound of a signal gun, the propeller turned rapidly, and the surrounding airflow was swept up.

Amidst the loud engine noise, the plane began to slide towards the runway ahead, accelerated, and finally gradually left the ground under the eager eyes of everyone.

There was a burst of cheers on the ground. It wasn't the first time they saw the plane take off and land, but they still couldn't help cheering.

Especially those who studied with Liao Yunting at the beginning, they have been studying in obscurity for almost two years, and in the end they actually realized Liao Yunting's fantastic idea that was originally unimaginable to them.

Liao Yunting was also very excited. He started researching airplanes while abroad, and he didn't stop after returning home. Sometimes there are modest successes, but most of the time they are failures. Since meeting Leng Sa, not only has he become rich, but Leng Sa has given him more thoughts and ideas, which made many of his questions clear.

Liao Yunting is sure that even without Leng Sa, he can succeed as long as he has enough financial resources and time, but this time may take five years, or even ten years. At that time, I'm afraid he will really be overtaken by his old enemy. After all, the last time he received a telegram from Donald, he was showing off that he had successfully tested the flight, and laughed at him for not achieving anything after returning to Anxia.

but now!

Liao Yunting is full of confidence, so what if Donald succeeds before him? The performance of his aircraft will definitely crush his humble bird!

This time the plane flew in the air for nearly an hour before landing. Everyone ignored the airflow brought by the propeller and rushed up, hugged the pilot and cheered in unison.

Liao Yunting looked more stable, although his eyes were full of excitement, "How is it?! Not bad! Haha! I'm such a genius! Young Madam, what do you think?"

Leng Sa looked at the proud Liao Yunting, hesitated for a moment, "Do you really want me to tell you?"

Liao Yunting said, "Of course, just say it." But his face said "I see what else you can say, my plane is invincible".

Leng Sa said, "Uh, the speed is too slow, the noise is too loud, the wings are too long and look a bit fragile, the takeoff and landing are unstable, I doubt there will be problems after two extra trips, and the carrying capacity is too small for such a big plane except for two people Can’t fit anything in it? It can only fly for less than an hour, and the battery life is obviously not enough. And..."

"Shut up!" Liao Yunting couldn't bear the other party's belittling his baby to nothing, and instantly forgot the other party's identity.

Fu Fengcheng narrowed his eyes slightly to block Leng Sa behind him, and at the same time glanced at Leng Sa to signal that she should stop in moderation. He felt that Liao Yunting wanted to pounce on her and strangle her to death any minute.

Leng Sa hugged Fu Fengcheng's arm, very innocent, "You asked me to say it."

Liao Yunting took a deep breath, silently recited "This is the gold master" three times in his heart, and said, "Is there no merit at all?"

Leng Sa said, "That's not true. According to the information we have collected so far, your model should already have the best performance. But if you don't work hard to improve, it will be surpassed by others soon. According to the information we have received, foreign countries Currently there are at least four aircrafts that have been successful, among them is the masterpiece of your old classmate Mr. Benson Donald." It is very difficult before a thing appears, and once it appears, the speed of update and iteration is very fast.

Liao Yunting's expression finally softened a little, and he asked, "Then how do you think it should be improved?"

Leng Sa said: "It's still the previous problem, the engine, and the landing gear. It would be better if the shape could be better. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is... Do you want to study the issue of weapon loading? "She didn't want to actually drop bombs from planes by people.

Liao Yunting stared at her, "Why should I study weapons? You...what do you want to do?!" His eyes almost said "You are a devil".

Leng Sa was speechless, "Don't pretend to be innocent, you just study this, so you can't think of the ultimate use of the plane?"

Liao Yunting muttered, "I just want to take people to the sky to fly." He didn't want to bring weapons to blow up others. He is a scientist, not a murderer.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Then trouble Mr. Liao to figure out how much you have invested in your research, how much you will need in the later stage, and...for civilian use, how many years do you plan to let me recover the cost?"

Liao Yunting stopped, and said after a while, "Could it be that you can recover the cost if it's not for civilian use?"

Leng Sa said, "Of course military research can be done regardless of the cost."

Could it be that Liao Yunting still expects to make money by transporting passengers with his completely unreliable plane? Not to mention how many people dared to go up, his passenger capacity was a blood loss. Civilian large airliners are not so easy to make. How can we build a reliable airliner without using military industry to accumulate a large amount of technology and experimental data?

Liao Yunting looked at Fu Fengcheng pitifully, your wife is a lunatic, did you make it up?

Young Master Fu's expression was flat, "Mr. Liao's research should continue?"

Liao Yunting instantly forgot about Leng Sa, his eyes lit up and he said firmly, "Of course!"

Fu Fengcheng nodded, "That's hard work. I hope to see a feasibility report for the opinions Madam just put forward. In contrast, Mr. Liao doesn't have to worry about financial resources, manpower, and resources."

Liao Yunting is a smart person, of course he understood what Young Master Fu meant.

Between humanity and science, he decisively chose the latter. He said aggressively, "I want people! The current manpower is completely insufficient!"

Fu Fengcheng nodded, "No problem. In half a month, seven accomplished scholars will return from abroad. In addition, new graduates from Yongcheng University this year can also be recommended to Mr. Liao first."

Only then was Liao Yunting satisfied, "It's more or less the same."

Fu Fengcheng said, "Next month, three professors from the Ordnance Research Institute and Machinery Manufacturing Institute of the Six Southern Provinces will come to assist Mr. Liao in his research."

"..." You both are devils.

Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa didn't care about Liao Yunting's accusing eyes. If the development of something will become an inevitable trend, then it is absolutely necessary to ensure that they are ahead of others.

After all, if you don't do it, someone else will. Even without Leng Sa's reminder, Young Master Fu thought of this inevitable future the moment he saw the plane.

And he doesn't think that he is the only smart person in this world, and there will definitely be many people who think the same as him.

Therefore, An Xia must not lag behind others in this respect.
