Chapter 604: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe)
When Buffett walked into the Winter Palace and said "since ancient times", the Russian monarch and his ministers were surprised like never before.
On the other side of the earth, Emperor Zhu was admiring Swan Lake with great interest - a ballet troupe from Russia was performing there. Of course, Emperor Zhu, who loved art, would come to watch such a performance.
While watching the performance in the box on the second floor of the Royal Opera, Zhu Xianhai occasionally thought of movies.
Maybe it's time to start a film company.
It doesn’t matter if there is no sound, silent movies are still movies. Besides, at the beginning, Chaplin’s movies were also silent movies!
The decision was made happily, and we could even write a few scripts. Without Chaplin, we could have Li Belin, Wang Bielin, or even Lin Bielin or Chaplin.
As for the sound...you can make a record!
record?
Zhu Xianhai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that the record player had not been invented yet, and it seemed that it was time to make one.
As for Edison.
What does it matter if there is no record player to be invented?
Edison!
He is just a person. In history, he has claimed so many people's inventions as his own. Now we are just taking a small revenge on behalf of those scientists, including Tesla, who were bullied by Edison.
Walk in other people's paths and leave them with no way to go. This is Edison's motto!
If he knew, he would definitely shout out that he is a close friend!
It's hard to find a true friend.
Edison would certainly understand this.
“Well, it’s time to put out a record!”
"What?"
Elizabeth looked sideways at her lover.
"What's a record player?"
"It's a new machine. When it comes back on the market, I'll give you one."
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
When deciding to "invent" the record player, Zhu Xianhai thought of another scientist, Tesla. Calculating the time, he should not have gone to college yet.
Let's wait until he graduates from college!
Then extend an invitation to him. Hiring such a big shot to the Ming Dynasty might bring unexpected results.
Who knows?
On this day, as the New Year of 1873 was approaching, Emperor Zhu was full of expectations for the future.
1873!
What a hopeful year!
…
Accompanied by the roar of machines, the brightly lit workshop seemed like it was wound up, busy and tense.
Although the work in the workshop was very intense, Zhang Daxixi still had a cheerful look on his face.
These days...are really promising!
When putting a freshly machined part into the workpiece box, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. The words "Labor Model" were written on the teacup. Even when he put the teacup down, he deliberately turned the side of the enamel teacup with the words to the outside, as if to tell others that he, Da Xizi, was a "Labor Model."
Model workers are a product of the corporate era. As early as when Nanhua was founded, Emperor Zhu began to select "model workers" in order to motivate everyone. Compared to money, in many cases, people prefer face, or honor, and "model workers" are honor.
Later, at the entrance of any Nanhua factory, there would be an "Honor Roll", where photos of the "Model Workers" selected every year would be posted.
Although the current "Labor Model" is not awarded with an honorary certificate by Emperor Zhu himself as in the early days, it is still a very honorable thing to be named a "Labor Model" in the factory.
Not only is it glorious, but it is also full of benefits, such as being able to receive a month's basic salary as funds - this is a tradition passed down from Nanhua. No matter who owns the factory now, they will abide by Nanhua's rules. There is no way, if you don't abide by those rules, these factories will definitely not be able to recruit people.
Accompanied by the workshop director, factory manager Li Zhexin walked around the workshop as usual. The workshop director was always good at flattering and said:
"Boss, you see, thanks to you, hundreds of people in our factory now have a place to stay. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to live the peaceful life we have now!"
"Alas, you can't say that. The brothers work for us, so we naturally can't treat them unfairly."
Li Zhexin said with a smile.
"As long as the brothers are willing to work for us successfully, we will definitely not let them suffer any loss!"
While speaking, Li Zhexin smiled as he passed by Zhang Daxixi.
"Great news! I heard that my sister-in-law is about to give birth. This is your sixth child!"
"That's right, Old Six,"
Zhang laughed happily.
"When I married Huimei, who would have thought that she was small but could give birth..."
"It's good to be able to give birth, it's good to be able to give birth!"
Li Zhexin laughed.
"Didn't the mayor say at the annual meeting of the city hall last year that what did the Ming Dynasty rely on to survive? It's people. If every family had six children like Daxi's family, Emperor Shengde would probably be smiling even in his dreams."
His words immediately attracted a burst of echoes from those around him, and someone followed suit.
"That's right. What's this called? What's it called? It's written on the road. Those eight characters are called..."
Before the man could finish, the workshop director spoke.
"It means more children, more blessings, and increased production to serve the country!"
"Yes, that's right. More children means more blessings, and increased production will benefit the country! That's the reason. I heard that this was written by Emperor Shengde himself!"
This was indeed written by Zhu Xianhai himself. As a slogan, it should be simple and easy to understand.
"Great! When the baby is born, we have to go and ask for a glass of wedding wine!"
"Of course, of course, I will have to ask the boss for his favor when the time comes."
Zhang Daxi said with a smile.
"By the way, Director Chen, has Daxi's public housing application been submitted? His family has six children. According to government rules, they can apply for public housing based on the number of children. Don't wait until the children are born and have no room for them!"
The so-called "public housing" mentioned by Li Zhexin is actually "public rental housing". Public rental housing is similar to a community in another world, which are all three- to four-story apartment buildings. In order to solve the accommodation problem for married employees in Nanhua, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang drew on the design of apartment buildings in later communities.
What is the biggest difference from Another World Community?
It means a large area with many rooms. A 140-square-meter house can have six bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, and there are also many eight-bedroom suites. The application is very simple. You can apply with a certificate from your work unit and community. As long as you are married, you can apply according to the number of people. Of course, this population refers to "couples and children." In a word, as long as you have children, the government will provide housing, and the rent is very cheap, only two or three yuan.
"Boss, it has been submitted a long time ago. As long as the child is born and the birth certificate is processed, and the child is one month old and the government has checked it, it will definitely be approved."
At this moment, Zhang Daxi's face was full of joy, and he felt that there was hope in this life.
"Okay, Daxi, you guys go ahead and get busy. When the baby is one month old, remember to let him know."
“That’s a must.”
Seeing that his boss was about to leave, Zhang Daxi hurriedly stepped forward and half bowed to say farewell.
"Master, please be patient...ah..."
Suddenly, Zhang Daxi felt something pulling his sleeve towards him. Before he could react, his arm was caught in the transmission belt of the overhead transmission axis.
When the scream came out of his mouth, the whole workshop was filled with screams of terror...
I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
