Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

Chapter 173 Thank you, Director Shen, for your guidance.

The experiment with the revised formula still needed time, so Zhang Jianguo took Shen Dong and Li Hu on a tour of the factory.

"This was produced yesterday and is being loaded onto trucks to be transported to the soy sauce factory."

A truck was being loaded at the entrance; baskets of bottles were stacked and being carried up.

"Director Zhang, how are our daily supplies distributed now?"

"3800 bottles, the soy sauce factory and the soda factory are the main contributors, the rest will be distributed."

Shen Dong can't touch the soy sauce factory; it's a state-owned enterprise under the State-owned Enterprises Corporation, and Shen Dong isn't qualified to run it. However, he can try his hand at the soft drink factory.

He plans to start working on beverages next year. Although he won't be launching soda so soon, once he reaches a certain scale, it's not impossible for him to invite soda factories to cooperate. If the production of glass bottles doesn't increase, they can discuss it then.

"Xiao Yang, bring a few bottles over here," Zhang Jianguo called to one of his employees.

They quickly brought over a few bottles.

"Director Shen, look, these were all made by our master craftsman."

Shen Dong looked at the several bottles in his hand, which were of various styles, and some of them even showed the influence of designs from later generations.

"Has this style of bottle already sold in large quantities?"

He was somewhat surprised, and even wondered if he had underestimated the glass factory.

With such advanced design and craftsmanship, it should be able to capture a significant market share.

Zhang Jianguo gave a wry smile and explained, "The test subjects were all things my master came up with in his spare time."

That's more like it! Shen Dong nodded.

"To be honest, my master's craftsmanship is truly astonishing. I think this design could be called a work of art." Shen Dong didn't hold back his praise. They were all in the same boat, and since the other party had brought it out, they must have brought it out for this purpose, so he naturally had to say a few words of praise.

"Haha, it's nothing special, just a bit better looking than average." Zhang Jianguo waved his hand with a smile.

Shen Dong had a sudden inspiration. He realized that he had many design ideas in his mind. Could he use them to establish a good relationship with the glass factory?

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Director Zhang, can I borrow a few sheets of paper? I'll draw some bottle designs for our masters to see."

"Oh? Then I'll have to look forward to it!"

The bottle's shape isn't complicated; it's been around for decades, so Shen Dong has plenty of material in his mind.

He took the paper and started drawing.

Zhang Jianguo stood aside, increasingly alarmed as he watched.

What's the deal with this Director Shen? I'd heard he's a capable guy, even helping the agricultural machinery station with refrigeration equipment. Now he's coming to our glass factory to provide technical assistance?

Before he could finish his reflection, Shen Dong had already drawn a few bottles.

Although their business skills aren't that strong, their judgment isn't that bad either.

Zhang Jianguo immediately recognized the avant-garde nature of the bottle design in the painting.

I just don't know if the master can make it.

"Director Shen, how about we call a few experienced workers over to take a look?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Since they were going to establish a cooperative relationship, Shen Dong didn't mind surprising them a few times.

Soon, the news that the factory manager of Jinru Yogurt was helping to make the glass bottle shape spread like wildfire, and in no time, a crowd gathered around the factory area.

Except for those who had work to do, everyone else came to watch the spectacle.

"I heard that this Factory Director Shen is not very old, but he knows a lot of things and is very capable."

"Young? I wonder if she's married."

"Haha, you little slut, you're getting tempted? You're already twenty-five, old enough to be someone's mother."

"You dare talk nonsense? I'll strangle you!"

Shen Dong has faced all sorts of situations, so he doesn't even care about this little one.

Right in front of him, several experienced glassworkers had been discussing the painting for quite some time.

Absolutely fantastic!

"Director Shen, how did you come up with the idea of ​​putting the bottle's opening in this direction?"

"Uh...it was just a sudden thought, haha!"

The master had only asked casually, but immediately gave a thumbs up, saying, "That's a brilliant, spontaneous idea!"

Then, excitedly, he asked Zhang Jianguo, "Factory Manager, we want to get the molds made right away. We have a feeling that if these bottles are made, they can be exhibited."

"Alright, you guys go ahead!"

Soon after, Li's experiment also yielded results.

In front of everyone, several pieces of glass that were now much clearer and whose green color had noticeably faded were brought over.

Upon first touch, Zhang Jianguo immediately noticed the difference.

"This color...it's faded so much?"

"Yes, we followed the recipe exactly this time, and we didn't expect it to work so well."

"Not bad, what about the yield rate?"

"The initial estimate is between 87% and 90%!"

"So many!" Zhang Jianguo exclaimed in surprise.

Not only was he surprised, but when the data was first obtained, Engineer Li was also incredulous, and only believed it after his apprentice confirmed it several times.

Among the people gathered around were those who understood data and knew that the factory's yield rate had previously been 70%. They had already spread the news of the explosion.

The increase from 70% to 87% is only a dozen percentage points in terms of numbers.

But when it comes to daily production, that's an increase of several hundred.

Moreover, this is only a preliminary experiment. If it can be stabilized at 90% after further refinement, the glass factory's performance will explode.

"Yes, factory manager, our daily output is expected to reach 5,000 bottles."

"Great!" Zhang Jianguo clapped his hands excitedly.

Shen Dong, however, was somewhat dissatisfied.

Five thousand bottles are enough to excite you all like this?

Even if I kept all the extra thousand bottles, it wouldn't be enough.

However, he couldn't spoil the mood, so he smiled and congratulated them before revealing his own idea: "Director Zhang, Engineer Li, we can add two more sets of molds, optimize some production processes, and connect the melting, clarifying, and molding processes well. If we reduce the waiting time, we can increase the output."

If we implement a two-shift system, reaching 10,000 shouldn't be a problem.

Zhang Jianguo then realized he might have overlooked something. "Director Shen, it seems we still haven't figured out exactly how many glass bottles your dairy factory needs?"

"Ten thousand bottles!"

"Every month?"

"Hehe, it's every day!"

"How much?" "How much!" Zhang Jianguo and Engineer Li exclaimed at the same time.

"Director Shen, you're not kidding, really 10,000 bottles a day?" Zhang Jianguo was stunned for a moment before asking.

Ten thousand bottles! Their factory only produces less than 4000 bottles a day now, so this is a two-and-a-half-fold increase!

Young people really dare to think big!

"Confirmed! I know it's impossible to achieve that level right now, so I have some suggestions and methods to offer. Reaching 15,000 bottles a day will be no problem!"

It was only because it was Shen Dong speaking that Zhang Jianguo had told him to get out long ago.

They really dare to brag.

But because it was Shen Dong, and he had just proven his abilities.

Zhang Jianguo had no choice but to believe that what he said was true.

"Thank you, Director Shen, for visiting and guiding our factory and contributing to the glass manufacturing industry in the county. On behalf of all 62 employees of our factory, I would like to express my gratitude to Director Shen."

Shen Dong was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Zhang Jianguo's earnest thanks.

He clenched his hand firmly and said, "We're both contributing to the country's development, so there's no need for thanks. This is just us working together."

We're all one family.

"Yes, yes, we're family!"

Everyone else applauded enthusiastically.

The glass factory project has finally achieved its goal. Although the output has not yet reached Shen Dong's target, the agreement has been signed.

Shen Dong also believed that Zhang Jianguo wouldn't do something so wrong to him!
