"The new steel processing is not easy, and the performance is superior, the price is determined according to the nature of the steel, so don't mention the bargaining thing, you may all know that the cheapest kitchen knives made by the Lanzhou blacksmith shop are 30 yuan, and they use a new type of steel is not completely new.
"What, isn't Lanzhou kitchen knives made of the best quality steel," Xin Liangchou said in astonishment.
"It can be said that at present, the kitchen knives are only made of the lowest grade of steel, the steel mill has developed a total of three grades of steel in two months, the better the performance, the more expensive the price, of course, the output is not too much, the ordnance supervisor mainly talks about the lowest steel used to make kitchen knives, want to use it to make artillery, maybe these steels are not suitable, the use is different, if there is a need we can conduct special research, but the cost of research and development is very high, If the Ordnance Superintendent can sign a purchase contract, maybe we can go all out.
"Yuan Shandao.
Xin Liangchou was speechless, how can he say that Lan Guogong is also the Lan Guogong of the imperial court, why is this businessman's face now simply helping outsiders to pit his own people, but he knows Yuan Shan too well, and he wants money to die.
Seeing that both of them were very stunned, Yuan Shan explained: "The new type of steel that appears now is more than wrong to use to make weapons, but it is very inappropriate to use it to make firearms, such as cannon barrels, although the durability will be better than the current iron cannon forever, but the cost is too high and not cost-effective, so special steel is needed to make it, but you can use cost-saving methods, you can divide the artillery barrel into two parts for production, one is the inner tube plus the outer tube, so that there is a new type of steel as the inner tube, which will greatly save materials, The outer iron cannon body can also be more stable, although the input cost has increased, but compared with the use of new steel to make the whole, the cost has been reduced too much, Xin Jian is thinking about it. ” Xin Liangchou fell into thought, the processing of two layers of holes in the barrel is not a simple matter, their current barrels are ground out one by one, although the machine tool with steam as the power saves a lot of things, but the two barrels are superimposed together and the accuracy of the equipment needs to be improved, and it is so simple to improve the accuracy.
Xin Liangchou was embarrassed, but the cost was indeed relatively high, and Yuan Shan said that it was not suitable, he hesitated, after all, Yuan Shan was an expert in their hearts in terms of firearms, and he said so, if it was still made with a new type of whole, it would be absolutely thankless.
"Lan Guogong, you can sell us some first, I need to let the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor do some tests before I can make a decision."
Xin Liangchou said.
"Yes, anyway, the current emerging steel is used to make kitchen knives, and you need to supply them at any time, and your own government will not turn away business haha."
Yuan Shandao.
Needless to say, Xin Liangchou knew very well in his heart.
Eldest Sun Wuji listened to their conversation and said curiously: "Lan Guogong, what are the three new types of steel in the steel mill used for. ” Yuan Shan replied: "The highest type is used to make cylinders for steam engines, the second class is used to make some external accessories, and the third type is more ordinary, at most some auxiliary materials." ” "Such high-grade steel can only be used as an auxiliary material, so how can it be sold."
The eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly.
"Zhao Guogong is not worried, these special steels are used in the improved steam engine, recently the Yuan family workshop has studied an internal combustion engine, is a new type of equipment that uses thermal energy to convert kinetic energy on the basis of the steam engine, if it succeeds, it will be possible to end the steam engine era, but it is still in the experimental work, want to succeed for a long time, and the material used in the production of the internal combustion engine is to use these new types of steel."
Yuan Shandao.
Both of them heard "the end of the steam engine era", doesn't it mean that this new internal combustion engine will replace the steam engine in the future, Xin Liangchou is very concerned, because now the equipment of the ordnance supervision is all driven by steam equipment, and the equipment and machines are getting bigger and bigger, with more and more functions, and there can be better equipment "Zhao Guogong, business and private affairs, let's talk about it."
Wonsun asked.
Eldest Sun Wuji immediately said: "Regarding the matter of the new type of steel, Your Majesty means that it is not allowed to make kitchen knives. ” "It's controlled, it's okay to use an iron knife with some effort, okay I agree, but can a small amount of steel be added to the blade part of the kitchen knife for forging, so as to ensure that the kitchen knife will not have much value after being dissolved."
Yuan Shan retreated to the next way.
The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it and said, "Okay, now that Lanzhou kitchen knives are famous, if they are banned all of a sudden, it will not be reasonable." ” But the eldest grandson Wuji was worried: "If this is the case, will there be losses in the steel yard?"
” "No, since the new steel is used less, the quality of the kitchen knife is actually still there, if the price is lowered, there will naturally be more people to buy, a good kitchen knife is no problem for ten or twenty years, and the types of kitchen knives are different, the number of participating steels is different, for example, the current kitchen knives are divided into, slicing knives, raw knives, cooked knives, bone chopping knives, boning knives, fruit knives, food carving knives, these categories have different styles, so there is no worry about selling."
Yuan Shandao.
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't go down to the kitchen, and when he heard that there were so many kinds of kitchen knives, he felt lonely.
"A kitchen knife is enough for ordinary people, but the shops are different, and the knives used in the kitchen will not be worse than these dozens of dollars, and we also have a special knife for cooks and ordinary knives, and there are a lot of tricks."
Won-sun continued.
"Lan Guogong is really a genius in business, he can come up with so many tricks, it seems that all business and private affairs have been solved."
The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Since you're here, Zhao Guogong hasn't seen the steel mill yet, so why don't we go over and inspect it today."
Yuan Shandao.
"Okay."
The eldest grandson Wuji said.
A few carriages then arrived at the suburbs, and Xin Liangchou was surprised: "Lan Guogong's road is twice as wide as Chang'an Avenue, is this a suburb, why does it look like a small town with many buildings." ” The eldest grandson Wuji also saw that the degree of prosperity is not inferior to Lantian County, not to mention that the town feels almost the same as the county seat, there are many shops on both sides of the street, and the business is all-inclusive, all of which are three-story buildings.
"This is," the eldest grandson Wuji said in surprise.
"Oh, these are the staff dormitories of the steel plant, and some of them are commercial residential buildings, which are the main living quarters, and the steel plant is still a little way from here."
Yuan Shandao.
