Chapter 28 The Power of Industry
"Brother, I miss me so much." Yuan Zhao jumped out suddenly. What a good guy, he didn't see him for a while, and he actually jumped to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Shangguan Yong knocked Yuan Zhao away with his shoulder, "Brother, let me see, wow, my cultivation seems to be a little higher than mine."
Zhang Quan was the most calm, or deep. After Yuan Zhao and Shangguan Yong said hello, he came forward, "My brother, there are a total of 2,500 stones of textile materials, including three types of cotton and linen, as well as several dyes such as blue, black, red, yellow, gray, purple, green, and peach rosy, which are enough for 20,000 pieces of cloth."
"I won't say anything thankful. Let's take you to see the power of a miracle."
Li Xian knew that neither Zhang Quan nor Yuan Zhao believed that he could weave 20,000 pieces of cloth before the New Year, and the best way to make them believe was to let them see the textile factory.
To be honest, Li Xian has also made a lot of considerations when letting others look at textile factories. In any case, the four people are still in a cooperative relationship, and even at least in the next five years, since that is the case, he needs to "win the trust from others". Li Xian knows that this textile machine and low-end engine technology cannot be kept confidential for a long time; since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative to disclose it and take the opportunity to get the best interests.
Besides, textile machinery has the lowest technical content, so it doesn’t matter if they see it. The doors of other factories have been closed and have been closed for production. Only the doors of the textile factory have been opened.
Naturally, someone will clean up the materials and other things, and Li Xian and others don’t have to worry about such small things.
Li Xian took the lead and Xu Ren was responsible for the explanation. The five of them visited the textile factory together. The reason why Xu Ren was asked to explain was because Li Xian was afraid that he would say what he shouldn't say when he was proud of himself; and Xu Ren was definitely a qualified adviser, and every sentence was just right, which surprised Zhang Quan and the other two, but did not let them know more.
"Is this the power of industry? Why is it called industry?" Yuan Zhao asked casually.
Li Xian smiled, "The craftsmen's great career is referred to as 'industry', so it is also called 'factory' here."
Xu Ren, who was introducing textile machinery to several people, twitched his lips: Young Master, you are fooling people again.
Finally, Shangguan Yong, Zhang Quan and Yuan Zhao stood in front of the first joint textile machine in a daze. Looking at the roar of the machine and the cloth "flowing out" like a waterfall, the shock in his heart is imaginable.
Zhang Quan looked at Li Xian first, "Brother, can this machine be sold?"
Zhang Quan asked, and Shangguan Yong also stood and turned his head. Only Yuan Zhao was still curiously looking around the textile machine, and he also twisted the cloth to see the quality, and seemed to have no concern.
Li Xian was naturally prepared. When he heard Zhang Quan ask, he just said three words: "It's a bit expensive."
Li Xian’s meaning is very clear: it can be sold, but it is a bit expensive - you have to be mentally prepared!
Of course, selling cloth makes money, but the most profitable thing is selling machines - this is one of Li Xian’s plans! Cloth is just a product, while textile machines are real money trees.
The higher the technological content, the more money it makes, which is the characteristic of technology. Li Xian had such considerations as early as when he decided to disclose the loom to Zhang Quan and the other two.
But if you want to take this money tree, you must be prepared to bleed - and what if you take it back and demolish it? And this is almost inevitable!
Li Xian knows these "good friends". There is absolutely no problem with having fun and spending time together. It is no problem for everyone to earn money together. It is no problem for them to be united in the public without threatening their own interests. But it cannot be regarded as a friend of life and death. As long as there is enough interests, they don’t mind stabbing them in the back.
In fact, Li Xian is 100% sure that after they take it back, they will definitely dismantle and study it, especially the engine. So Li Xian had specially classified and priced the item of Sea Soul Silk.
Zhang Quan pointed to an ordinary textile machine, "How much does this cost?"
"Gold, 1350 taels."
"Hiss..." Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing the price, Zhang Quan, Shangguan Yong and Yuan Zhao both took a breath of air conditioning.
You know, when Li Xian first arrived at his jade workshop, the entire jade workshop made a profit of only 500 taels of gold a year, which is already quite considerable. Five hundred taels of gold is five million copper coins!
1350 taels of gold are almost the income of the Li family in the past six months. But now, they can only buy a very low-end textile machine.
Yuan Zhao jumped first, "Brother, you are extortion, you are robbery, you are extortion, you are extortion, just a few wooden racks, a few iron pillars, and an engine, you dare to sell 1,350 taels of gold, you are crazy about being poor."
Li Xian didn't say anything, and pointed to the roaring joint textile machine in front of him, "5,500 taels of gold! It can be picked up in five days. Ordinary textile machine can be picked up now."
"500 taels, 500 taels of gold, I want a cross joint textile machine." Yuan Zhao was treacherous and bargained.
Li Xian shook his head, "Three brothers, I sold it to you because of our friendship. In fact, if I don't show it to you and don't sell it to you, I can build huge textile factories, and even monopolize the textiles of the surrounding countries.
how?"
Li Xian said it very clearly - if I can sell it to you, it is a great favor. This is technology. If you don’t have it, I can sell it to you, it is a favor. As for the price, of course I will open it casually.
In fact, Li Xian’s pricing will certainly not be random, and it has been strictly considered.
This low-end engine technology cannot be kept confidential forever, so now we are of course trying to make a try. After the three of us bought it back, it will probably not take long to master it. Li Xian of course had to ask for a price for such cheap things.
Secondly, the sea soul silk in the engine is the key. Selling the engine is not the purpose, selling the sea soul silk is the purpose.
As long as my buddy masters stainless steel, the sea soul silk will be endless. Do you want to produce high-efficiency engines? You can only come and ask me for it.
The third is the issue of human nature. If you ask for a low price, people won’t appreciate it! As long as the other party can accept it, the higher the asking price, the more grateful the other party is - thank you for selling this good thing to me, I am so moved.
Zhang Quan squinted his eyes and looked around; Shangguan Yong was also watching, and even lowered his figure and talked to the textile workers, but unfortunately he ignored him. Only Yuan Zhaodong fled to Xizhao and saw his aunt calling her sister, and when he saw her sister calling her sister; in this joke, he actually got a lot of information from this kid.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Ren approached Li Xian and whispered: "Young Master, none of your three friends are simple. Zhang Quan is good at calculating, Shangguan Yong is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, and Yuan Zhao is the deepest central machine for you four."
"Yes." Li Xian nodded, still a little shocked. Sure enough, there are only a few officials who are idiots.
After a while, Shangguan Yong came over, "My brother, take a fraction of it, 1,300 gold, I want two looms, now."
Zhang Quan also said: "Two looms."
Only Yuan Zhao returned swayingly, "My brother, two joint textile machines, ten thousand taels of gold, how about it?"
"The transaction is completed. I shall bear a five-year warranty for all textile machinery that is not artificially damaged; but a material cost fee is required." Li Xian pretended to be generous and "five-year warranty".
"Okay." The four of them immediately reached an agreement. As for the delay of Li Xian's production of cloth, they were completely ignored by both parties.
