Ayi has been so happy these days.

His cement workshop is progressing very smoothly.

This thing has blossomed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty and is not very difficult.

As long as there are enough manpower and no shortage of money, it will be built soon.

Anyway, the cement workshops today are not large-scale industrial workshops like later generations.

As long as you solve the problems you have or not, then consider slowly improving yield and quality.

Since Dafei helped capture a group of slaves outside Yizhou City, the progress of Ayina's cement workshop has accelerated a lot.

And in the past few days, their cement workshop has received two hundred slaves in one breath.

Although they all cost money, the price of these slaves is only 20% of that in Chang'an City, which is definitely very cost-effective.

With enough manpower, he can ensure that the cement needs of Nanshan Construction Engineering will be met after the beginning of spring.

"Chief, I heard that the army of the chief general defeated the cannibals in Xizhou City, and it took only one morning to resolve the battle.

The cannibal prisoners alone captured more than 20,000 people.

Now not only is our cement workshop not short of manpower, but even the needs of road construction personnel from Yizhou to Suzhou have been fully solved.

I heard that Nanshan Construction is even considering starting construction of cement roads from Yizhou to Xizhou in advance.

This means that the demand for cement will be taken to a higher level in the future.

Our cement workshop is the right time to repair it.”

Aguno was in a very good mood, too.

Now he is also considered the number one person in Yizhou City.

After all, their cement workshop is the largest in Yizhou.

It can also be said that this is the beginning of industrialization in Yizhou.

"Well, yesterday I drank with shopkeeper Liu Fang of Nanshan Construction. He also mentioned to me that several businesses have asked him about the construction of cement workshops in the past few days.

I guess some other people are now beginning to realize the benefits of building cement workshops.

As long as you are willing to invest some money and manpower, the craftsmen of Nanshan Construction Engineering will personally help teach cement production techniques.

Where can I encounter such a good thing in normal times?

This time, the place where the cement roads were built was in the Western Regions. Manager Liu Fang was given an important task by the Nanshan Construction Committee and asked to complete the construction of cement roads from Yizhou to Suzhou within next year.

That's why he was willing to support us, the business that first defected to him, to build a cement workshop.

If we delay until now and decide to build a cement workshop, this good thing will definitely not be ours."

Ayi Na was also a little excited.

This trip to the Western Regions was to change the relatively single industrial structure of the Ayina family now relying on milk tea shops and gravel workshops.

Now, the cement workshop, a project that does not seem to be worth investing in, has shown strong vitality in the Western Regions.

He made a preliminary estimate that his investment in this workshop would have hope of making a profit next year and would start to make a profit.

For a workshop, this rate of return is absolutely exaggerated.

For example, factories in later generations, even if the equipment and factory investment are distributed over ten years, it is very difficult to start making profits in the first year of production.

Not to mention that all the investments were recovered in the first year of production, and we could still make money.

This is not very difficult.

"Then... has the shopkeeper Liu Fang promised other merchants to help them build a cement workshop?"

Aguno looked at Ayina nervously.

He didn't dare to expect his own monopoly on cement demand in the entire Western Regions.

But this matter is definitely hope that the later the competition will be, the better.

"Shopkeeper Liu Fang rejected the other party!

When he recruited merchants to build cement workshops, he said that as long as anyone is willing to invest in building cement workshops, all the cement needed for cement roads from Yizhou to Suzhou will be purchased from this workshop.

Unless the workshop cannot meet the needs, it will consider purchasing other products."

When Ayi Na said this, his face also showed a look of gratitude.

He is really grateful to Liu Fang.

Although Liu Fang did say this before, it would not be easy to stick to this sentence after other businesses took the initiative to contact him.

If another shopkeeper was in charge, he would probably find various reasons and then recruit a business to build a cement workshop.

After all, it is definitely beneficial for Nanshan Construction to have more cement workshops.

Whether it is risk control, capacity demand, or price competition, it would be better for two companies to supply it.

Everyone understands this principle.

Liu Fang has not done this now, and it can be said that he has pressed his treasure on Ayina.

If Ayi loses the chain later, Liu Fang will be under great pressure.

Some people even doubt whether Liu Fang took advantage of Ayi's benefits, and there was something shameful behind it.

"That's great! Manager Liu is indeed righteous, so we should thank them very well."

After hearing what his leader said, Aguno felt relieved.

If someone else enters this field, Aguno really doesn't have the confidence that his family will definitely win.

"Of course I have to thank you, but now we are not suitable for any extra movements.

Those businesses that failed must be staring at us. If we do some small moves, something will happen.

At this time, what we need to do most is to keep a close eye on the cement workshop and ensure that the construction plan of the cement workshop is completed on time.

Then we began to consider the issue of expansion, so that our production capacity could further meet the growing demand of Nanshan Construction.

Manager Liu also said that he only promised that all cement roads from Yizhou to Suzhou would be made of cement produced by our cement workshops.

However, it is unlikely that all the products of our workshop will be used to build Yizhou to Xizhou and other cement roads that may be built in the future.

At that time, they will definitely use whose products are of good quality and low price.

Although we have the advantage of early production, it does not necessarily mean that we can do better than others.

I hope you must realize this.

At the same time, we also arranged for our friends to go to Chang'an City to invite several craftsmen who are proficient in cement production to come to Yizhou to help us improve our cement production technology.

Otherwise, it would be good if our own craftsmen could learn basic operations from the craftsmen of Nanshan Construction Engineering."

Ayi is also self-aware and knows that at this time, he should recruit a group of craftsmen who understand technology as soon as possible.

Otherwise, what should I do if others directly use better technology to produce cement?

He pressed the future of the Ayi family on the cement workshops in the Western Regions.

Nowadays, the number of craftsmen and helpers in cement workshops alone has exceeded 500.

After large-scale mass production next year, the number of people will soon exceed one thousand.

A workshop of this scale, let alone in the Western Regions, even in Chang'an City, has been considered to have reached a scale.

"Don't worry, leader, I'll arrange this matter.

There is a shop in Chang'an City that is specialized in recruiting craftsmen in various workshops, and it has a very good reputation in the industry.

The craftsman in the cement workshop is relatively not so scarce or so sensitive.

As long as we make a request, we can recruit the right craftsmen soon.”

Aguno was obviously also known as the Daming of Qiancheng Wuyou Shop. He knew that if he wanted to complete the tasks assigned by Aguno at the fastest speed, the best way was to spend more money and ask them to help poach people.

Otherwise, if you recruit yourself, it is hard to say whether you can find the right candidate.

After all, he himself doesn't know much about cement production at all.

When two craftsmen stood in front of him, he didn't know who was better at the same level.

But in this regard, the people’s Qiancheng Wuyou Shop is professional.

Although their guys are not necessarily proficient in cement making techniques.

But they are professionally consuming this bowl of rice.

If the personnel recruited by the help is not qualified, it will affect the reputation.

This potential loss is incalculable.

So they will have various ways to understand whether the level of this craftsman is really that high from all aspects.

Just like the later social recruitment, whenever positions of certain importance or whenever they have the opportunity, they will do background checks.

I wouldn't realize that the person I recruited was a bad person after joining the company.

"Well, don't be afraid of spending money at this time, we have to race against time.

If those craftsmen have doubts about coming to work in the Western Regions, we can give money that is enough to attract them from the money.

People die for money and birds die for food. As long as you have enough wages, you will not be afraid of not recruiting suitable candidates.

But time must be fast. Even if it snows heavily, you must continue to rush and not delay."
