236, How did Li Jian run to manage the cheap business of merchants?(1/3)
Later, he won and left.
With the generous conditions given by Li Jian, he left with satisfaction.
As for how to explain to King Qi, Hou Sheng was full of confidence and patted his chest and said there was a way.
There may be no way to believe Housheng in other matters, but Li Jian trusts Housheng very much in this matter.
In history, Hou Sheng made King Tian Jian of Qi obey.
It was not until the moment of the country's demise came that the King of Qi finally woke up and cursed Hou Sheng.
Housheng could even secretly sell Qi to Qin Shihuang without letting the King of Qi know. So, wouldn’t it be safe to make a move in the salt and iron industries?
Li Jian came to the textile factory of the Li family in a carriage outside Handan City.
After destroying Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun, Li Jian found that both of them had manors adjacent to the textile factory when counting the spoils.
As a result, these estates became part of the new textile factory.
The area of the new textile factory has been greatly expanded, and the factory buildings have also been densely built.
Looking at these tall wooden factories, Li Jian vaguely felt like he was returning to the modern world.
"Be careful of fire prevention."
After reminding the managers, Li Jian walked into the factory.
In the factory, many textile machines are constantly operating.
Most of the people who operate these machines are female workers.
The factory was very hot, and most of these female workers were exposed in clothing, while a small number of them were simply exposed directly.
Li Jian and Mao Sui came in, causing some commotion from the female workers.
After recognizing Li Jian's identity, the commotion immediately subsided.
Many female workers with strong capital stood up proudly and waited for Li Jian's gaze with anticipation.
Even if you cannot be brought back to the mansion by Ding Guojun, as long as you get Ding Guojun's eyes and have a son after the spring breeze, your life will be earth-shaking.
Li Jian didn't care about the ideas of these female workers. After having the wife and concubines of Lin Rou and Mo Ling, the appearance of an ordinary woman is really hard to get into Li Jianzhi's eyes.
Li Jian said to the manager on the side:
"Auntie Zhou, what is the output in our textile factory now?"
Aunt Zhou said happily:
"If you are right, our textile factory produces at least three thousand pieces of cloth a day now!"
Even though he had already been mentally prepared, Li Jian could not help but feel slightly moved when he heard this number.
In this era, it takes a woman a month to weave a piece of cloth.
However, this textile factory can weave a cloth that 3,000 women take a month to weave in just one day.
This is the power of large-scale enterprises.
Li Jian smiled, his expression very pleasant.
"Is it difficult to recruit female workers? Will there be insufficient people?"
Aunt Zhou shook her head repeatedly and said:
"No, no, no, our factory has a high salary. I don't know how many people are rushing to enter the factory. How could they not recruit enough people?"
I work in the factory and make a lunch every day, and I can get the wages.
The salary for a month, converted into food, is more than three times that of women who weave cloth and farm at home.
The common people may not be able to read, but they still have a clear account of this.
Aunt Zhou didn't tell Li Jian about it. Now the "staffing" of female workers in the textile factory is very popular.
In order to work as a female worker in the factory, some people also have to give gifts to Aunt Zhou and other managers.
Even many lower-level officials in Handan City secretly used various relationships to send their families to be female workers!
Li Jian pondered for a while and said to Aunt Zhou:
"Continue to find someone, and before next spring, increase the output to at least 6,000 horses."
"If it can be increased to 8,000 horses, I will give you a house in Handan City for every manager!"
Aunt Zhou and the officials next to her suddenly turned green when they heard this.
Handan City is the capital of Zhao!
What does it mean to have a house in Handan City?
These things that managers could not reach in their entire lives were now placed in front of Li Jian.
The managers spoke in unison and whispered to Li Jian:
"Please rest assured that the head of the family will complete the task!"
Leaving the textile factory, Li Jian's expression became much more relaxed.
"Mao Sui, have you investigated all the things that I asked you to investigate before?"
Mao Sui respectfully took out a manual from his sleeve.
"Survey on the Cloth Trade Situation in Linzi City".
From the branch of the owl Qi Kingdom.
Li Jian flipped through the manual and his eyes fell on a line.
"As the most prosperous trade in Linzi City, the daily transaction volume of cloth is at least about 10,000."
"This is not because Linzi City's lack of consumption capacity, but because women near Linzi City are busy managing other industries and have no interest in the weaving industry with meager profits."
The corners of Li Jian's mouth were slightly tilted.
"Mao Sui, please immediately have someone transport these cloths to Qi State and stockpile them up first."
"This time, I want to give the people of Qi a surprise."
Why is the emergence of Jenny spinning machine symbolizing the beginning of the industrial revolution?
Because of this kind of spinning machine, large-scale labor-intensive companies have appeared in this world for the first time.
The products of this labor-intensive company all have one characteristic, that is, they are extremely low in costs and extremely huge shipments.
If you enter the market, you can instantly kill all the small retail investors at an extremely low price.
Next, monopoly!
As for profit, that's not a problem at all.
After monopoly, you can manipulate the price at will, truly achieving stable profits without losing money.
Historically, in capitalist countries, the great trusts had long been familiar with monopoly.
How can an individual's power be comparable to an organized and disciplined 996?
It's completely a mantis armed mantis chariot.
Li Jian was relatively restrained before and did not do this in Zhao State.
As the ruler of Zhao State, Li Jian did not need to compete with the people of Zhao State for profit.
Qi State is another matter!
Xianyang City.
The one who cares about you the most is always your enemy, which is fully reflected in King Yingji of Qin.
The agreement between Zhao and Qi was signed just a few days ago, and the King of Qin had already learned about it.
"What did Li Jian think?"
The King of Qin was confused.
This time, the King of Qin discovered that he seemed to be a little confused about Li Jian.
Qin Crown Prince Ying Zhu sat down at the lower head, with disdain in his tone.
"Father, didn't Li Jian start his business by embezzling Lu Buwei's property?"
"I think he just got into the money!"
The King of Qin pondered for a moment, but was still a little uncertain.
Li Jian is really a person who is so obsessed with money.
"Go and summon Lu Buwei!"
The King of Qin wanted to hear what the parties involved said.
Soon, Lu Buwei arrived.
The King of Qin looked at Lu Buwei. This guest official of Qin, who was said to have become the number one military advisor under Ying Zhu.
