As the name suggests, it means "Made in Ming Dynasty".
Starting from 1870, the second year of Shengde, according to the decree issued by the Ming Dynasty, all "Made in the Ming Dynasty" must be "made in daming" to distinguish the products of the Ming Dynasty from foreign products.
Why is this so?
This is because in the past few years, with the influx of Daming products into the European market, not only new products such as bicycles and cameras have become popular, but also the steel knives and kitchen pots produced by Daming are also popular in Europe because of their high quality.
Popular with people, because of the best-selling products, there are naturally "copycat" products.
In the face of those crappy "counterfeit goods" imitated by European workshops, the emergence of those counterfeit goods has caused a certain blow to Ming's products. In order to distinguish them from those "copycat goods", the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce of Ming Dynasty made the decision to indicate the place of manufacture.
.
Although it only took five years, "made in daming" has become synonymous with high quality in Europe and the United States.
This must be said about the achievements of pig teammates in Europe and the United States. Take bicycles as an example. Limited by metallurgical technology and craftsmanship, their imitation bicycle bodies are made of wrought iron pipes. Their flywheels and chains have not undergone qualified heat treatment. Their
The wheel frames are also made of ordinary steel. All of this has led to domestic bicycles in Europe and the United States becoming synonymous with "inferior goods". This is generally true for other products. Daming's industrial products are not just based on new designs, but more importantly, those that are not
Behind the eye-catching products are unique technologies from various industries such as metallurgy, metal processing and manufacturing, chemistry, and even product quality control, which are unique to Ming Dynasty, and all of this is precisely what their European and American counterparts do not have.
Defeating "made in daming" is the dream of many European business owners, and it is also Kent's dream. However, they are really powerless because they cannot solve many technical problems.
"I have a bicycle factory in Shelffield, which can produce 5,000 bicycles a year, but you know, technically, there is a big gap between us and you. I believe that with your help, I will definitely be able to produce bicycles that are no better than Phoenix."
Bad bike.”
In the face of Brian, Kent did not hide his thoughts. In order to obtain bicycle manufacturing technology, he chose the simplest method - poaching people with money.
In order to recruit people, he came to Daming specifically, and of course he came here as an importer. After going through all the troubles and discussing "business" with those companies for more than a month, he finally found a suitable candidate.
.
Brian was the best choice. He was also from Shelffield. Not only were they from the same hometown, but he was also an engineer for a bicycle company. There was no more suitable candidate than him.
“The conditions are very favorable.”
Brian, who had calmed down, shook his head and said.
"But Mr. Kent, what I can tell you is that this is simply impossible!"
"What?"
"I mean, there's no way you can build a bicycle of the same quality as Phoenix Bicycle Company. Do you know what an industrial system is?"
Brian directly threw out a word that outsiders had never heard of.
"What's the meaning?"
Kent said confused.
"The industrial system, well, how do you explain it?"
After thinking about it, Brian said.
"You just said that an ordinary bicycle is composed of 25 parts and more than 150 parts. The metal parts of these parts are different and they come from different factories. For example, the ball bearings of bicycles are not just from
It is a bearing factory, and its production also involves a steel factory, because making it requires a special kind of steel. In Daming, its label is gcr15 steel. As far as I know, this kind of steel has high hardness, wear resistance, and enough wear resistance.
Fatigue-strength steel is only available in Daming in the world, but in the UK, British manufacturers use ordinary high-carbon steel, which means that the service life of your bearings is far inferior to our products from the beginning."
As an engineer, when Brian said these words, his originally a little excited mood became calmer. He also understood his own value - the price Kent offered was not his value, but Daming's.
Many companies, the value of thousands of engineers.
"As for the chain, flywheel, including the frame, the steel they use is based on its performance requirements. The steel type is selected first, the unique raw materials, and then the machining, welding and heat treatment during the manufacturing process.
Craftsmanship, Mr. Kent, without these production raw materials provided by Daming, even a genius cannot make a bicycle of the same quality, and..."
After thinking for a while, Brian said again.
"Daming's companies also have their own unique quality management system. This system ensures that the goods they produce must be of high quality and it is almost impossible for defective products to leave the factory. However, it is difficult for British factories to do this."
What was Emperor Zhu Da's greatest contribution to Ming Dynasty industry?
It’s not just about technology, the most important thing is scientific management. Due to the adoption of scientific management operating procedures and management methods, it promoted the development of productivity and increased the production efficiency of Ming Dynasty’s enterprises many times. Nowadays, management science is early
It has become a discipline unique to Ming Dynasty. There is also the quality management system, and the "national standards" for many products have been formulated based on the quality management system. Its emergence has improved product quality and ensured the stability of product quality. It is closely related to
Scientific management are complementary to each other.
It can even be said that even without the technology brought by Emperor Zhu Da, just relying on these two, it is only a matter of time before Ming Dynasty's industry catches up with Britain and the United States and other countries. After all, today's European and American countries still rely on experience to manage
, production is not a science at all.
In the face of science, all experience will be instantly eliminated!
Brian, who had calmed down now, suddenly understood some things that he had ignored in the past. Suddenly he laughed, looked at Kent and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Kent."
"what why?"
Kent looked at him a little confused,
"Thank you for letting me understand that my excellence is actually based on the extremely developed industrial systems of the Ming Dynasty. After leaving this system, maybe I can get something, but I will definitely not have the achievements I have now!"
Yes, maybe he can take away some of the unique processing and manufacturing technologies of the bicycle, but then what?
It is still impossible for him to produce products of the same quality as Daming goods. If he cannot do it, then he will be eliminated by the factory owners, because the only reason why the factory owners hire him is that they believe that he can guide the factory to produce the same products.
product.
But... this is just a thought, because without Daming, he would never be able to copy those products, even if he mastered all the manufacturing processes of bicycles.
"Ah, Mr. Brian, I think we can discuss this further."
Although the other party had not refused yet, Kent had already heard his intention to refuse. Before he could lobby again, Brian wiped his mouth with a tissue and said.
"Sir, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you want to defeat "made in" daming!
