In a factory on the banks of Santai River, the birthplace of the knitting machine, many workers on each section are busy. According to various size requirements, they use hydraulic lathes to produce various spare parts, and then assemble them into devices, and then assemble these devices into knitting machines.

After debugging, trial operation, then debugging, and trial operation, it is confirmed that the knitting machine can be used normally and can be sold at a price that is not much higher than the cost, and then transported to workshops everywhere along the Santai River embankment.

The seemingly simple process actually requires a lot of effort and time to complete the worker. The relevant supporting devices and machines require another group of workers to make, install, debug and repair them.

Hundreds of parts of the size and size were finally assembled into a machine, which was a lot of work, so the factory was run all day, and the workers worked in three shifts, lighting the biogas generated by the biogas tank in the dormitory area and lighting it all night.

The reason why it is called a workshop rather than a workshop is that it employs a large number of workers, with more than 400 employees, and the number of employees is second only to the papermaking farm in Huangzhou that has just opened for more than two months.

The paper farm employed more than 600 workers and had a standard size of 1000 sheets of paper. This factory called Xingye Seiko produces eight hydraulic knitting machines every day. At the same time, it also undertakes the heavy responsibility of training knitting workers.

In a corner of the workshop, where the training class is located, fifty hydraulic knitting machines are running. Each machine has a skilled worker who is a master, explaining the key points of the operation to the three students around you from time to time.

Hydraulic knitting machines, unprecedentedly complex machinery, have exceeded many people's perceptions. Even textile workers who can skillfully operate hydraulic spinning machines and looms will be at a loss when standing in front of even larger and more complex hydraulic knitting machines.

The skilled weavers sent by the workshop owners must strengthen their studies and train for three months before they can be competent for the work of operating the knitting machine. There are still thousands of students waiting for the training in each workshop.

The three knitting workshops that first officially sold their products, their products were sold out on the same day, and the orders were scheduled until after the New Year. In addition, the government's large orders made the cost of opening a knitting workshop quickly recovered, which made the workshop owners very enthusiastic about developing the knitting industry.

When the second batch of knitting workshops are also put into operation, it is inevitable that the workshop owners will expand their production capacity on a large scale. By then, the demand for each workshop will become a workshop will become greater.

It requires a large number of knitting machines and a large number of skilled knitting workers. Two huge demands are pressing on the shoulders of Xingye Seiko, making the factory employees busy and almost unstuck.

From the beginning of the year to now, the factory employees have hardly had much rest. The production section is busy producing knitting machines, while the masters of the training class have been busy training students. If it weren’t for the generous treatment, many people would not be able to hold on.

Yang Lihua, who had just turned from the knitting workshop next door, was a little confused when she saw the busy scene in front of her. She didn't expect that Xingye Seike, under the name of the royal palace, was so busy. She asked the manager with luck: "There are so many masters in the training class?"

The accompanying workshop manager replied: "Yes, Yuzhuyuan, there are only so many, it's good to survive this period. At that time, there will be a large number of skilled workers in each knitting workshop. You can help, lead and teach new employees by yourself. The training class will not need to be held at that time."

"So, what about the maintenance workers' training class?" Yang Lihua looked at the yard next door, where the training classes were also being held to train maintenance workers for hydraulic knitting machines. After the students finished their studies, they were stationed in various workshops to be responsible for maintaining and repairing the knitting machines.

"It's enough to run two more classes." The manager smiled. "After all, the machines are all in Xiyang, and the knitting workshops are concentrated by the Santai River. There are no need for too many maintenance personnel."

There is a question. Yang Lihua wants to know the answer to this question, and the princess wants to know too, so she asked again: "So can the output of the knitting machine be increased a little more?"

"This is the limit. The workers worked overtime for half a year and were exhausted. They had to take a turnover next month, and the output would drop to four units a day."

Speaking of this, the manager added: "One is that the workers need to rest, and the other is that the bearings are in stock, and no matter which size is missing, the knitting machine cannot be made without roller bearings."

"That way...I get it."

Yang Lihua turned around and walked out, and as she walked, she couldn't help but sigh. In recent years, the royal palace's industry has been growing, and it seems that there is a shortage of people every moment, and no matter how many people are trained, it is not enough.

Yang Lihua looked at the skateboards and pulley shoes that her son played with. He also knew that roller bearings were used on them. He also knew that many four-wheeled carriages in Huangzhou used roller bearings.

She had seen the actual object of roller bearings. This thing was indeed wonderful. In the palace, someone in order to please Emperor Tianyuan, a talented craftsman made exquisite devices, and there were similar things in it.

This type of roller bearing can be made by craftsmen carefully pondering it, and it can even be made more refined than the roller bearings made in the workshop. However, the problem is that it takes a lot of time to make a handmade one, and it is estimated that how many days it takes to make one

Yang Lihua knew that bearing parts can be made in batches in the Wangfu Bearing Workshop, and then manually assembled with auxiliary devices, each person can make more than a dozen a day.

Handmade items are made in batches with special machinery, such as textile fabrics, knitting, and bearings. So what other items can be made like this in the future?

Turning to the "office", Yang Lihua just sat down, Lin Youdi, who rushed over, seized the time to report to her work and the improvement of the "Wangcai Type 1" knitting machine.

As the "china chief manager" of King Xiyang, Lin Youdi now has many subordinates. He basically doesn't have to be responsible for the specific production personally. He just needs to take charge of the overall situation. Now Yuzhuyuan is here to inspect the industry and conduct research. He wants to ask some questions for the princess, and he just answers it.

The Wangcai Type One Knitting Machine is the knitting machine that is put into use in various knitting workshops. It is the first practical knitting machine that can be made in batches. It has a complex structure but can withstand long-term high load use, which means maintenance and maintenance will be more troublesome.

The three knitting workshops were tried for a period of time, which exposed some of the problems and shortcomings of the Wangcai Type 1 knitting machine. Xingye Precision summarized these problems based on the maintenance workers stationed on the site and immediately improved the machine.

There are two goals for improvement: one is to strengthen the structure of easily damaged parts and structures; the other is to make the textile machine easier to disassemble and assemble, so that maintenance workers can replace parts more easily.

Lin Youdi would not say the specific technical situation, because after saying it, Yuzhuyuan couldn't understand it. He just needed to say a rough idea and let the other party know what the result was.

The improvement work went smoothly. The improved knitting machine was called "Wangcai One Type Modification". It can be put into production after the New Year. The cost is 50 jin more than the One Type, reaching 540 jin.

"It's fifty cents expensive..." Yang Lihua was a little surprised. She felt that things like machinery should be improved as they are, and the more they are improved, the cheaper they are, so she couldn't figure it out.

"When returning to Yuzhuyuan, it is easy to make it bigger and more complicated, but it is not easy to make it smaller and simple while maintaining the same performance."

Lin Youdi tried to explain the reason in simple and easy-to-understand words, because the other party was not the King of Xiyang, and he would definitely be confused if he said it complicated. He took out a report and continued to explain: "If you want to reduce the failure rate, you have to simplify the structure and introduce spare parts..."

"In order to facilitate maintenance and maintenance, the machine must be disassembled and assembled. This is a place of effort, so the cost will naturally increase."

"Then... I still sell knitting machines at the same cost price, and then rely on... to make a profit after sales?" Yang Lihua paused for a moment when she said the word after-sales.

"Yes, as stated in the report, the profit point of Xingye Seiko is not actually the equipment, but the after-sales service. After the warranty period is over, the best time to make money."

Lin Youdi pointed to the quotes on the report and introduced a new term: "The so-called 'zero-whole ratio' is about this problem..."

"Suppose a knitting machine has 100 parts and the whole machine is priced at 500 jin, but selling these parts alone is another. If the selling prices of individual parts are summed, it will reach 2,000 jin, which is three times higher than the selling price of the whole machine. This is a fractional-to-whole ratio."
