The morning market in Yibajiu Hutong is bustling with people, giving it the noisy appearance of an urban auxiliary street.

"Lianyungang is really getting busier every day."

Mo Fan, who was walking on the sidewalk, looked at the hustle and bustle in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. When he first came to Lianyungang half a year ago, even though it was closed in recent years, the streets were not as lively as they are now.

"Population of 100,000"

Thinking about the Lianyungang permanent population announced by the Administrative Committee that I read in the newspaper this morning and suddenly reached 100,000, the bustling scene in front of me is quite reasonable.

After walking on the sidewalk for a while, Mo Fan turned around and entered Tongxingzhai Pastry Shop. The shopkeeper came over to say hello and said:

"Assistant Mo, can you use some?"

Mo Fan glanced at the neatly arranged food boxes on the counter. Although he was alone in Lianyungang, he always liked to eat some pastries while working. This was just his hobby.

"What should I eat?..."

Looking at the various pastries, Mo Fan hesitated.

"Assistant Mo, let's take the Caozi cake. The Caozi cake is soft and delicious..."

The shopkeeper quickly and enthusiastically introduced that Mr. Mo was the technical associate manager of the Erqing Machinery Factory of Liuhe Company. He could earn a hundred yuan a month, but he would spend more than ten yuan a month at his pastry shop.

"Okay, bring me a box and put it in the account."

After taking the wrapped pastries, Mo Fan carried the pastries out of the pastry shop and ran to the bus stop on the 18th Street outside the alley to wait. Compared to the 189 Alley with many shops and stalls, this 18th Street is undoubtedly

Much neater, the city of Lianyungang looks very simple. The north and south are called "streets", and the east and west are called "roads". The auxiliary streets are alleys, and the 189th alley is the ninth alleyway of the 18th Street.

Simple and scientific. Like everyone who comes to Lianyungang for the first time, Mo Fan has a deep understanding of the convenience and convenience of street names in Lianyungang. A few minutes later, the No. 13 bus bound for the industrial zone arrived.

After arriving at the bus station, Mo Fan squeezed into the bus. The bus seemed a bit crowded. Holding the ring in his hand, he had already adapted to squeezing into the bus and began to close his eyes and rest.

"We should study it again today..."

As the technical associate of Erqing Machinery Factory, he has been working on several projects recently, and Mo Fan is responsible for one of them. Although some samples have been produced, the project has not been completed because it cannot meet the design requirements.

Time passes quickly when a person is worried. When he regained his senses, the bus had already entered the industrial zone, Tianhe Textile Factory, Yunqi Cotton Factory, Guoqiang Cotton Factory... This is a light industrial zone.

, now is the time to go to work, groups of female workers are entering and exiting the factories outside the gates, and most of the male workers in the cars are looking at the female workers with bright eyes.

Although the population of Lianyungang exceeds 100,000, the current situation of more men than women has not changed. I don’t know how many single male workers dream of finding a female worker from the light industrial zone to get married, and the two of them can make money. In those days...

Although he has no interest in finding a female worker, occasionally Mo Fan will still look at the female workers in these factories with admiration. After all, sometimes there will always be moments of surprise.

"Hey, that's..."

While passing by the rayon factory, Mo Fan unexpectedly saw several black Mercedes-Benz cars driving into the rayon factory. The Mercedes-Benz cars seemed to be...

Why did the chairman arrive at this rayon factory so early?

Although he had studied mechanics in Germany, Mo Fan still didn't understand much about rayon. When he saw the chairman's car entering the rayon factory, he subconsciously classified the factory as one of the company's new enterprises. It seemed that this was not the same as

The company's style is not very similar?

According to Mo Fan's understanding, the company has sold many small and light factories to those wealthy people who came to invest in Lianyun. There are no Liuhe companies in this light industrial zone, but now, the chairman has come.

This, it seems, this rayon factory will be put into operation today.

The roar of machinery in the spinneret workshop of the rayon factory is not too loud, but there is a strong smell in the air. In the manufacturing process of rayon, a large number of chemical preparations are used, and these preparations make the air smell

It was so full of odor that the workers in the factory were all wearing filter masks. But at this time, Li Zicheng, who was also wearing an activated carbon mask in the workshop, was staring at the silk-like rayon and white rayon.

The wire is automatically circled into a spindle on the spindle car.

"Extract pure α-cellulose from cellulose raw materials, treat it with caustic soda and carbon disulfide to obtain orange-yellow cellulose sodium xanthate, and then dissolve it in a dilute sodium hydroxide solution to become a viscous spinning solution, which is called

It is viscose. After the viscose is filtered, matured and defoamed, it is wet-spun. The coagulation bath is composed of sulfuric acid, sodium sulfate and zinc sulfate. The sodium cellulose xanthate in the viscose interacts with the sulfuric acid in the coagulation bath.

After decomposition, cellulose is regenerated and precipitated, and the resulting cellulose fiber becomes viscose fiber after being washed, desulfurized, bleached, and dried."

When introducing the production process of rayon to the chairman, Fang Zhiyu's eyes were also looking at the rayon, but the expression on his slightly tired face looked extremely complicated.

"Today, Tianjin Rayon Factory is considered a formal investment. According to the designed annual production capacity of 2.4 million kilograms, it can produce 160,000 kilograms of rayon this month. As early as a few years ago, Shanghai imported a small amount of British Rasduan brand

Rayon, and the quality of the main product acid rayon produced by our factory is far better than that of products from Britain, Germany and other countries. It can be divided into non-glossy, glossy, hard and soft, and its quality is closer to raw silk..."

When he was studying in Italy, his major was "rayon manufacturing", that is, rayon manufacturing. When he mentioned acid raw silk, his expression became extremely complicated. He knew clearly that once this kind of rayon was put into the market, it would

What kind of impact will it have on the domestic raw silk industry?

Li Zicheng, who was looking intently at the rayon, didn't notice the change in his expression.

"Cheng Yu, what raw materials do we use for our rayon? I mean, can the original raw materials of raw materials other than chemical preparations be guaranteed?"

Currently, Lianyungang cannot produce chemicals on its own, so it has to rely on imports. There is still no way to change this in the short term.

"Chairman, our process is different from that of European and American countries. European and American countries use base cotton as raw material, but we use cotton linters. According to our calculations, every ton of rayon produced consumes 1.04 tons of pulp.

One ton of pulp consumes 1.33 tons of linters. The linters are cotton linters imported from the United States and India. Its cost is only one-sixth of cotton. The raw pulp also adds a disproportionate amount of wood pulp depending on the product type.

The factory now produces three types of products. The first type of rayon is cotton-silk blended type, which is used for cotton blending. The ratio used is 50 wood pulp and 50 cotton pulp. The second type is 60-90 acid silk and cotton.

Pulp 55, wood pulp 45, and the third type of acidic raw silk No. 100 to 150 is based on the proportion of wood pulp, cotton pulp 60, wood pulp 40, while the use of foreign cotton linters is mainly papermaking, making nitrocellulose, etc., accounting for about

Its output is about 70%, and there is no problem in the supply of raw materials..."

"Wood pulp?"

His introduction only made Li Zicheng stunned. Use a wooden paddle? Although he was a little confused, he finally figured out the reason. Germany, which was short of resources during World War II, naturally tried its best to develop various new technologies to reduce resource costs. I believe that this kind of wooden paddle

Mixed use is probably the German technology from World War II.

"Yes, director, the use of short velvet and wooden paddles has reduced the cost of factory products by 30% compared to European and American products. If the chemical preparations are made domestically, I believe the cost will be reduced by half, which is no problem at all. According to the trial weaving of Meiya Weaving Factory, artificial

The cost of silk fabrics per meter is 1.3 cents and 3 cents, that is, 4.3 cents per square meter. Silkworm and rayon interwoven cost 1.3 cents per meter.

After spitting out these numbers one after another, Fang Zhiyu's expression became more solemn.

“The cost of silkworm and human blending is only one-quarter of silk, and the cost of cotton-human blending is only over 60% of pure cotton. In terms of cost, whether it is rayon or rayon blending, there are natural fabrics that cannot compete with it. The absolute cost advantage compared to any rayon product is far lower than the domestic market price, catering to the needs of my country's low consumption level. It can be believed that once Tianjin raw silk is put on the market, 2.4 million kilograms of rayon per year will be compared to One pound of cotton yarn costs two yuan and ten cents, one pound of raw silk costs ten yuan, and one pound of rayon costs only one yuan and eighty cents. Its low price alone will definitely be accepted by the market..."

Fang Zhiyu, who was hesitating and already serious, raised his head and looked at the chairman and said.

"Chairman..."

"Um?"

He looked at Fang Zhiyu with a solemn and even worried face in surprise. What happened to him? Today is a good day for Tianjin Rayon Factory to officially start production. The output is 2.4 million kilograms a year. This is

In a market worth several million yuan, if Mu's previous calculations were used, Tianjin Rayon's profit could reach 40. This factory alone could earn more than two million yuan a year.

Why does he, the factory director, seem a little unhappy about such a happy event?

"Chairman, according to Manager Mu's plan, Tianjin will open a second and third factory this year. It is planned that by next June, Tianjin's annual rayon output will suddenly be 10 million kilograms. Although it can earn tens of millions of yuan in profits every year, But, Chairman, have you ever considered it? Once raw silk has been squeezed out by cheap rayon in the market, it will cause unsaleable raw silk. Now, at a time when the price of raw silk in the international market has risen sharply again, my country's sericulture industry can only Further development, Nuosi rayon..."

Looking at the chairman, Fang Zhiyu said solemnly.

"The impact on the market and the unsalable raw silk will inevitably lead to silkworm farmers cutting mulberry trees, silk factories to close down, and female workers to lose their jobs. By then, how can the small profits of artificial silk be compared with the heavy losses suffered by the raw silk industry..."...
