?Banxianzhuang, the closed-door talks have lasted for three days. The states under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou General Administration and major households with related relationships with the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce all sent people to hold a meeting here. What they want to discuss is related to everyone's "money" journey.

Thanks to the strong support of the General Administration, the states began to build water conservancy projects. Over the years, not only did they manage floods and open up a large amount of wasteland, but also workshops used water power to weave textiles.

The market for the finely woven fabrics of the Huangzhou General Administration has opened, but with the increase in output, problems have followed one after another. The first problem I face is insufficient raw materials.

Hydraulic spinning wheels and hydrolooms have high production efficiency and can operate continuously day and night. The demand for raw materials is also very high. Huangzhou and the states under its jurisdiction cannot supply the hemp.

The original countermeasure was to acquire geese and mahjong in Anzhou, Xiangzhou and Jingzhou, transport them back to Huangzhou by water and then sell them in various places, or to "process incoming materials" and collect the processing fees for textile fabrics.

Later, I tried to acquire Gema in various prefectures in Henan, but the land transportation cost was not low, and the cost was always high. Now the price of Gema and Gema in various places has become increasingly high, which has significantly affected the profits. The development of Huangzhou's cloth industry has reached a bottleneck stage.

It is no problem to maintain the current production capacity and can make money, but it is difficult to sustain if you want to expand production.

If it were the past, but everyone was unwilling to give up, and the opportunity to make money was right in front of them, but the result was that they could not make money because they could not buy enough raw materials, which would be frustrating to anyone.

Huangzhou and its subordinate states have already been reclaimed everywhere. We must expand the planting of kudzu and hemp without affecting the area of ​​arable land. However, far-reaching water cannot quench near thirst. What should we do?

There is another similar problem. The secrets of hydraulic spinning wheels and hydroloons will be disclosed to the cloth shops in other prefectures and counties in Shannan. This is one of the conditions for purchasing kudzu and hemp from various places in recent years. At that time, the problem of raw material shortage will be even more serious.

The structure of hydraulic spinning wheels and looms is actually not complicated. Once it is made public in a small scale, sooner or later, everyone in the world will know that the erectile sausage produced in various places will not be enough, so where can Huangzhou Bufang buy raw materials?

It’s easy to deal with. Let’s talk about the future. Now there will be a place to acquire it, and the amount is large enough.

Where? Guanzhong? Hedong? Hebei? The freight is more expensive than the cloth price!

Don't worry, there is a place to acquire it. I just received the message, and I will surely be able to transport this number... So don't panic this year, and weaving openly.

Ah? Then, that... Could it be shipped from there?

hehe.

Just be clear about some things, just pay for kudzu, hemp, and spun cloth to sell. What is the matter so clear?

The next question is the "escort business" that everyone is talking about. To be honest, all the bosses agree with this. After all, it is better to go to business than to do business in business. If you can organize a caravan to do business in other places, the profit will be rising.

But the premise is to make a fortune if you have a life to make money. If you travel a long distance, you will disappear with your goods on the journey if you are not careful. Therefore, you need a guard. However, many people are not well-funded enough and cannot afford to support a large-scale guard team.

If there is an escort business, you can spend money to hire an escort in an armed manner. It will definitely be much safer on the way, but the problem that follows is the cost.

I spent money to hire a bodyguard and walked safely for a long trip. So how much money can I have left after deducting the employment fee?

This problem is divided into two small problems. First, the operating cost of the escort business determines the charging situation. According to the plan, the escort business must deal with all kinds of monsters and monsters along the way, and the expenses will not be low.

Then the scale of the escort team cannot be small, and the risk of escorts is also very high, so the treatment cannot be low. Then the overall cost will inevitably be distributed to the final charge.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and everyone can understand that the start-up charges of escort businesses are higher. Then the second small question comes: What kind of goods should merchants sell to make money after hiring escorts in armed manners?

If you go through a lot of hard work and make only hard money, then why should you suffer this? It would be better to save the money in Rixingchang Guifang to earn interest!

It is true that books are best-selling in Huangzhou's cloth, but it is difficult for small and medium-sized merchants in Huangzhou to compete with local snakes when they go to other places. The other party can also buy a large number of books in Huangzhou. The cloth comes back and sells it. How can the end of the transaction be done?

The same is true for soap. As for meat products such as ham, they sell goods from afar, and the profits of ham are not as good as cloth and books. Therefore, everyone is excited about the prospect of making money through escort businesses and gradually calm down.

Wang Yue, Li Fang and others gave the answer to this question. The maids walked in with a set of tea sets, and each of them put a set on the table in front of them.

"This is... Beibai's porcelain? It's not like Bairuo's milk, which porcelain is burned from the porcelain kiln?"

Amazement came one after another, and everyone was doing business. On weekdays, there was more or less knowledge. Today's porcelain can be called "South Blue and North White". Most famous porcelains in the south are celadon, while most of the porcelains in the north are white.

There are many kilns that can burn white porcelain, but there seems to be no kilns that can burn such a kind of white porcelain. Maybe there are, but they have never seen it before.

"Everyone, Li is not talented and has never seen any world. But I dare to assure you that the porcelain kilns in the world may be able to burn similar white porcelain, but in terms of cost, there is no possibility of an advantage!"

It’s boring to keep it in a silence. Li Fang began to enter the next stage. He asked his bosses to estimate the price of a set of tea sets brought in by the maid.

This tea set is made of white glaze, with beautiful patterns on it, and is gold-red. Especially the cup mouth has gold thread strokes. When you look at it, the cup wall is faintly transparent. I don’t know what kind of process it is made of, and it looks very exquisite.

The tea set was passed by everyone, and then the estimated price was quickly calculated, which was about fifty to sixty cents. Of course, this is just a rough estimate. How much it can be sold depends on their own verbal skills.

"Fifty to sixty cents, very good, so everyone guess what the purchase price will be?"

It is difficult to estimate this, and it can only be judged based on the market conditions and experience. The valuation of the people present is between 15 and 20 stakes, and the answer given by Li Fang is five stakes.

"Five silos! How about this..."

Some people were so surprised that they almost couldn't hold the tea cup in their hands. The purchase price was 50 guan, and the difference was 45 guan, which made at least nine times the profit. This transaction would not be able to make a fortune without making a fortune!

There are porcelains with such shipment prices. After all, there are high and low grades of porcelain, and even the lowest price is available. However, compared with the white porcelain in front of them, it is simply incredible.

The shipment price of five silo or porcelain kilns must be low, so how low can it be?

Many people are wondering how much profit they can make if they sell this white porcelain. Although the porcelain is a bit troublesome and easily damaged, it is worth a try with such profits.

"Please rest assured that there are several newly built porcelain kilns in Huangzhou that can be fired. Everyone is their own people. Of course, the supply is given priority. If you have money, you can make money. There are many types of porcelains. What is the price? It is easy to discuss."

The atmosphere on the scene became lively again, and everyone was overjoyed. The appearance of this white porcelain made them see business opportunities. Many people were glad: This trip was right!

"Everyone has been talking for so long, I must have a dry mouth and drink some tea to moisten my throat."

Li Fang clapped his hands, wuukansh.

The com maids came in one after another, carrying small jars and kettles, and knelt down before each person's desk to prepare tea. As soon as they opened the porcelain jar, someone exclaimed: "It smells so good, is this tea spice?"

"No, no, this tea has not been added, and the method of preparing tea is not boiled. Please be careful not to be impatient."

I saw the maid scooping out some tea leaves from the porcelain jar with a silver spoon. This was not a common ball of tea, but a loose tea leaves.

The tea leaves were put into the teapot. The maid picked up the kettle, slowly poured the boiling boiling water into the kettle, covered the lid, and after a moment, bursts of fragrance wafted out. The fragrance became stronger than before, and it smelled so refreshing.

When the temperature is right, take a sip, it will smell but not astringent, and the feeling will become more and more intoxicating.

"Good tea, good tea! Where did Dongjia find good tea?"

Everyone praised it. This expression was as expected by Li Fang and Wang Yue, so the next step could begin.
Chapter completed!
