Chapter 113: A new look (Part 1)
Ye Tao originally expected this team to sort things out quickly, but unexpectedly, after these ten people joined, the different abilities and unclear division of labor made the work even more chaotic. In anger, Ye Tao did not care about Liu Qing's face and scolded him fiercely. Then, in front of many people, a set of Gantt charts of various engineering projects in Crescent Island on a huge white paper, breaking the complicated work into clear and single links, and then set priority for each link and aspect, directly implementing the responsibility to the person. Liu Qing spent three days of unsolved problems, and in less than half an hour, Ye Tao deployed and implemented them. This gap in ability to deal with problems made Liu Qing re-examine this young man who would be his boss for a long time.
Liu Qing, who was trained to sweat, quickly realized what Ganttto means to all the merchants of Qihai Trading Company.
The Gantt chart was developed by Henry Gantt in the early 20th century. It is basically a line chart. The horizontal axis represents time, the vertical axis represents the activities to be arranged, and the lines represent the planned and actual activities completed throughout the period. The Gantt chart intuitively shows when the task plan is carried out and the comparison between actual progress and planning requirements. Even at that time, this can be regarded as a major breakthrough in scientific management. For the merchants who were most sensitive to the concept of efficiency in this era, this form does not have to be taught to them through the Ye Tao system. They naturally began to strengthen and improve their respective business according to their respective needs.
Although Ye Tao was in such a bad temper, he came up with a technique that was very beneficial to everyone without even notice. In order to make her life easier, Liu Qing tried every means to bring Sophie, Dai Qiuyan and others to Crescent Island. Although Dai Qiuyan could also draw drawings, when she arrived at Crescent Island, Tan Weishi took her out to play all day. Tan Weishi and Tan Weiran have been staying on Crescent Island these days. Every morning they go out to sea to play in nearby islands and coral islands, which makes her feel a little happy.
While trying every means to keep the prince and the princess here, Qi Zhentao brought from Yicheng the chef who was good at cooking seafood, which was very important and lively. However, two guys who had been frugal since childhood had never had the chance to taste it before. Although Tan Weiran and Tan Weishi both understood that Qi Zhentao wanted to keep them not because of their identity, but to prevent them from rushing to return to Danyang. In that way, Ye Tao could work on Crescent Island for a while.
With Sophie to solve the problem of drawings, Ye Tao's work efficiency has been greatly improved invisibly. When the first Persian architects who joined the work learned some Chinese and began to gradually play a role, their efficiency was improved again. The experience of these architects in on-site construction management and their ability to solve problems was much better than the construction teams found by Qihai Trading Company. Many problems such as how to efficiently deliver earth, stone and cast iron parts will never be often exposed to Ye Tao.
Ye’s Workshop is always the most surprising. After all the equipment transferred from Yicheng was installed one after another, and some apprentices recovered from seasickness, almost everyone in Ye’s Workshop can play several times the role of ordinary craftsmen and workers. A new courtyard in charge of Ye’s Workshop was located near the top of the mountain. Instead of rushing to start building a house, they then formed a ramp that could deliver materials to the top of the mountain faster. When everyone was used to installing it on the dock to load and unload carts for cargo loading and unloading, they were loaded with small trucks with rollers underneath, transporting wood, stone and various other building materials and tools to their scheduled construction site with jaw-dropping efficiency, everyone was stunned. This realistic performance is far more effective than Ye Tao repeatedly emphasized to everyone that attention to work methods and coordinated management.
With the cooperation of multiple parties, after more than a month, Crescent Island has been completely renovated. The original chaotic and random building complexes were organically combined. The island started from the wharf, extended to the center of the island, extended to the mountain, forming three sections of the wharf, town and central organ. With several large courtyards as fulcrum, even the municipal part formed an orderly defense system. The biggest change is that Ye Tao used pottery pipes to introduce a larger freshwater source on the other side of the island into the city that was forming on the island. Compared with the original wells in the center of the city, and
A spring near the top of the mountain. This part of freshwater is of better quality and sufficient quantity. After several windmills are pressurized in sections, freshwater can be connected to the town through the pottery pipe, which can supply the residents on the island, and it can more conveniently replenish freshwater for ships anchored on the dock. The node that controls the flow of freshwater in the pottery pipe is in several large courtyards on the island. Once someone breaks through the Crescent Island and occupies the dock, the people on the island will be trapped. They can immediately cut off all freshwater supply except the several courtyards waiting for assistance.
Although there were no artillery, Ye Tao's helplessness when chatting with Mr. Qi still asked Mr. Qi to make a decision and build something similar to a turret. There were crossbows, god arm bows and catapults. Under the turrets, a jet device powered by a mechanical air pressure pump was set up in a very sinister way. It would take a while for the Greek fire to appear, but using the fish oil used to make Mars bombs as materials and other things, it could still create a temporary similar thing. When testing this thing called turret oil, three ejectors fired at one volley, making a merchant ship that was not much smaller than the Lanshui ship.
In less than half a moment, it burned into a ball and then peeled off the scene of sinking into the sea, which made everyone dumbfounded. Min Yue, who happened to be present that day, immediately stated that he wanted to order a batch. In addition, the orders for Mars bombs from the Yicheng Navy, almost all the research and development expenses of Mars bombs and fierce turmeric oil were reimbursed by the Dongping Army. The bigger sucker was to go to Chunnan and summon many Hu merchants, Chunnan marine merchants and Nanyang marine merchants to Assad. Before Assad came to Crescent Island first and was preparing to go to Yicheng with Ye Tao and others to attend the "ordering party" of Qihai Merchant and its merchants, Ye Tao specifically instructed him to Ah.
THAAD performed a storm oil attack. Although scrapping an old merchant ship was a considerable expense, it was exchanged for Assad's terrifying order. Assad threw down 100,000 taels of gold and purchased three spray devices and fifteen large skin bags of harsh turbulent oil. These harbulent oils were enough for the three launch devices to perform thirty volleys. It was enough for Assad's fleet to protect itself for a period of time, and for him to return to the Persian region to demonstrate the elders of the Samir family who were so burning too much money. This time, the sale of the harbulent oil to Assad made Assad completely believe that the Samir family found a powerful ally in the East.
Who would have given them this terrifying weapon that was almost legendary, so that they would have greater confidence in front of pirates and other people who covet their wealth from now on. As for the price they paid, it was completely worth it in Assad's opinion, and even he thought it was very cheap. What surprised him even more was that he just mentioned the Greek fire casually. Unexpectedly, after traveling back and forth between Yuhang once in a month, Ye Tao, the magical boy, had almost copied this thing. Assad, who grew up in a kingdom of heroes, gods and prophets, regarded Ye Tao as the incarnation of the god of craftsmen.
Two days later, when Assad appeared in Yicheng accompanied by Mohammed, he watched a wide range of goods at the commodity ordering meeting hosted by Qihai Trading Company. After learning that this was also Ye Tao's idea, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of divine favor could make such a young boy have such rich imagination and insight.
Ye Tao naturally would not think he was a genius. Although he was engaged in this form of ordering fair, although he did not have to squeeze into such a community to sell goods, the grand occasions such as the Canton Fair are still heard of. As long as he roughly talked about his ideas for such an exhibition to the senior deacons with rich experience in Qihai Trading Company and received their recognition, a large number of business elites will naturally explore and decorate such exhibitions, and such exhibitions will become more and more complete with the enrichment of organizational experience.
This time, the ordering party organized by Qihai Trading Company was basically in the internal exploration stage, and the customer bases were all Hu merchants with strong purchasing power. The exhibition did not charge any entry fees or other fees for Qihai Trading Company. Hu merchants can issue admission certificates by Assad and Mohammed, while others did not come from where they came from. As long as there are recommended by members of Qihai Trading Company, they can enter and observe.
Even if there is a limited opening for some local merchants and wealthy families in Yicheng, there is not much passenger flow. Although the entire exhibition does not have the bustling scene, the merchants gathered together and the nervous translations around them make the order appear professional and effective. For many Hu merchants, the concentrated display of products and the opportunity to contact a large number of merchants is a form that is countless times better than they can only organize the supply of goods through local partners in the past. They are facing a more open and transparent market, and Hu merchants who see the business opportunities contained in such ordering meetings said that they will take out the goods they have in their hands at the next ordering meeting. A large number of precious ivory, spices, and glassware will become a beautiful scenery at the ordering meeting.
