Chapter 157 [Time Passes Quickly]
Since Mrs. Lina came back, Belsinger has been revived and rejuvenated with endless energy under Lina's personal care. Every day, he gets up early and stays up late to stare at the construction site and runs back and forth. Today he is at the brick factory site, and tomorrow he is at the road construction site. It is a bit tiring, but under personal supervision, the progress of the project is still good.
After 20 days, the brick factory has officially started production and produced the first batch of qualified brick blanks. Since it is the first day of production, various processes need to be further adjusted. All workers should also have an adaptation period, so only 100,000 brick blanks were produced on the first day, which is not as efficient as a medium-sized brick factory for two hours.
But Belsinger is not in a hurry. After all, this is the first day of production. In addition to a dozen skilled workers dug from the brick factory in Uma Town. The rest of the workers are absolute novices. Only 100,000 brick blanks made these people busy and confused. Wait until all the brick blanks are stacked on the brick rack.
After statistics, only 80,000 bricks were left, and a total loss of 20,000 bricks was a huge loss. But this is a necessary running-in period, and no matter how painful it is, it has to be endured. When all these workers become skilled employees. By then, the depreciation rate of bricks will be controlled at about 3%. Now we can only hold on like this. Fortunately, the weather is good, and the sun can emit its energy at the end of the dry season.
The temperature has reached 32 degrees, which is so hot that people feel dizzy and swollen. Fortunately, the local Indians are used to such weather. When the dry season is about to end, the temperature will never be lower than 30 degrees during the half month. Such a high temperature is most suitable for the drying process of bricks. It only takes five days for the bricks to be stacked in the brick kiln.
For ten days, the production increased by about 10% every day. After ten days, the brick kiln with more than 20 holes was fully filled, and then the kiln master hired at a high salary directed the kiln to start ignition. Then, high-quality coal was put into the small hole on the top of the kiln, and two large blowers were running at full load. The iron chimney as high as 15 meters began to emit black smoke.
After a day and a night of firing, after a day of warming up, the kiln door can be opened, and the workers who are leaving the kiln can enter the brick kiln. The still hot red bricks are neatly stacked on the kiln car, and 200 pieces are pushed out of the kiln in a group, and neatly stacked in an open space 20 meters away from the official kiln. The whole production process of red bricks is completed one by one.
When a car of red bricks came out of the kiln, the whole special venue and half of the cement factory were all shocked, and everyone cheered and sang and danced enthusiastically. This is the first brick factory in the entire Sinjar town and the third subsidiary of Singer Industry. It is now officially put into production. Moreover, the quality of red bricks has reached qualified products after inspection. As long as the red bricks produced by your brick factory are sold well, you will never have trouble selling them.
In addition, the cost of producing red bricks is very low, which is a good business with a lot of benefits. If the brick factory makes a profit, these workers can ensure that they can get their hard-earned wages for a month. Moreover, many brick factories pay piece-rate wages. For example, the machine class that produces brick blanks calculates wages according to the number of brick blanks produced every day.
Inserting water brick blanks, loading kilns, unloading kilns, and pulling water blanks are all piece-rate work. Except for the guards, the whole special field is paid according to the efficiency. The more bricks are produced. Their wages are higher. Take the most difficult and tiring job of unloading kilns as an example. A car of red bricks is 200 yuan, and a car of red bricks is an income of five rupees.
If you are in good health and can produce 200 cars a day, that is a full 1,000 rupees of income, which is more than 90 yuan in RMB. This salary is not low. Although it is hard and tiring, and hurts the body, the income is definitely worthy of the conscience of the brick factory and the efforts of the workers.
After the first truck of red bricks was pulled out of the gate of Singer Industrial Park, it went into the mountains little by little along the newly built stone road. After crossing the mountains and ridges and crossing two bridges, three hours later, it entered the valley entrance of Lagar Village. All the villagers in Lagar Village, both adults and children, came to the entrance and saw trucks of red bricks being transported to Lagar Village. Everyone was cheering and rejoicing that cars could enter Lagar Village from Sinjar Town along the newly built stone road.
This proves that the stone road has been completed. Although there are still some details that need to be fixed and it will not be completed until ten days later, it has been expected for hundreds of years. Lagar finally saw that the road from his village to Sinjar Town was built. From then on, who would not be happy to completely change the backward and poor appearance.
Who would not be happy? Although the slogan "If you want to be rich, build roads first" has not appeared in rural India, these people are not stupid. Knowing how important the road built in their village is to them, they no longer have to get up early and travel all night to sell food.
And those Lagar villagers who do business at the road construction site are even happier, knowing that with this road, they can go to Sinjar Town to do business. The money they earn at that time is much better than farming at home, who wouldn't be happy? With a road, there is hope, and with a road, there is a way to make money. Who wouldn't be happy? This is just a different custom in India. If it were in China, they would have celebrated with firecrackers.
After two months of construction, the simple road from Sinjar Town to Lagar Village has been built and opened to traffic. After a few days of completing the details, the road will be officially put into use. The Singh family and the Shah family spent their own money to build this road. This road is the private property of the two families and is sacred and inviolable, even if any pedestrians are dissatisfied with the high tolls charged by the Singh and Shah families.
You can sue New Delhi, or even the Indian Parliament, but it is useless to the Supreme Court, because this is the private property of the Singh family. If they let you go, you go, and if they don't let you go, you have to pay. In order to protect their own interests to the maximum extent, the Singh family and the Shah family jointly established a ten-member road protection team ten days ago.
These team members are not responsible for maintaining the safety of these stone roads like other road protection teams, but are stationed in different areas of this stone road or bridge, and are specifically responsible for collecting tolls and bridge tolls. There is no need for so many people, who can pass through this newly built road if there is a blockage at both ends.
Everyone underestimates the wisdom of the working people. If you block the two ends of the road, won't they go over the mountains and bypass your blockade? Going through the middle and then to the other side, bypassing your toll booth, is a little troublesome, but it can save the expensive toll.
So in order to prevent the detour and not to lose their own interests, the two families jointly invested in ten young, strong and energetic road protection teams. They fought hard and outstandingly with those cunning foxes who evaded tolls. The two sides fought wits and courage for their own interests and have been fighting for more than 20 years.
Until the Belsinger family had grown into a behemoth and did not need this little toll. Only then did they open the simple road built by the Singer family, allowing everyone to pass through and no tolls would be charged again.
