"How is it, have you found a suitable workshop?"

When he returned to the inn and saw that Wu Cai had already returned, Shi Yiwen asked directly.

"I have found a similar workshop, with 600 looms and employing nearly a thousand workers. Although the scale in Songjiang is not the largest, the scale is not small."

“600 looms…is almost enough.”

Nodding slightly, Shi Yiwen asked.

"So are they interested in it?"

"If you are interested, why don't you not? Today, just as soon as we talked about our "shuttle", the master of the Liu family said, "If this is true, he would be willing to pay us 30 taels of a loom!"

Even though he was used to the big money of later generations, Shi Yiwen was shocked by this man's big money. This was equivalent to several times the price he offered.

"30 taels, 600 looms, that is, 18,000 taels! This Mr. Liu is such a big deal!"

"But he has a condition!"

"condition?"

"Yes, he wants us to guarantee that we will not sell the shuttle to others for at least two years!"

Wu Cai's words made Shi Yiwen laugh.

"No wonder he is so generous. In two years, he is very good at making a plan. He seems to have spent a high price, but in two years, he can buy at least a few thousand looms, earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver. This businessman is always a businessman!"

Listening to the young master's sigh, Wu Cai tentatively said.

"Young Master, I've actually inquired about a factory like Songjiang. It's only 600 looms at most 60,000 or 70,000 taels, so it can be bought. If we set up our own fabric factory, we will definitely make dozens of times more profitable in less than a year. Wouldn't that be better than selling such a good thing to other people?"

Once again, Wu Cai looked at Shi Yiwen with some confusion.

Until now, he still had too many questions in his mind. He couldn't understand why Shi Yiwen pushed out this old mother who could lay golden eggs.

That shuttle must be something that can make money!

"The unstoppable Songjiang Bu..."

With a smile on his face, Shi Yiwen did not answer directly, but looked at Songjiang City outside the window.

"Look at Songjiang, there are more than a hundred cloth shops. If we set up factories here, wouldn't it be a competition with hundreds of time-honored brands? And they are doing business on their territory. Such competition is too tiring!"

Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen looked at Wu Yi in confusion and said.

"Actually, from the beginning, I made the shuttle so that all these fabric factories could use it!"

"Uh! This... Master, why is this?"

Looking at the young master in confusion, Wu Cai found that in many cases, he could not keep up with his thinking and could not guess what he thought. He originally wanted to give him advice, but why did he not understand what his boss thoughts when he got here?

Isn't this a good thing?

"Maoda, do you think if the Liu family bought Feishu, how long can they keep it confidential?"

Putting down the teacup and looking at Wu Cai who was frowning, Shi Yiwen said.

"I have said before that some technologies cannot be kept secret because they are too simple, not because of the means of confidentiality, but because they are too simple, just like a shuttle. To put it bluntly, it is just two springs and a few leather ropes. How can such a simple thing be kept confidential? After all, the equipment always needs maintenance..."

After the invention of another space-time shuttle, it was immediately widely used, but because the technology of the shuttle was simple, it was easy to be copied, and the inventor could only end up dying from poverty.

"this……"

Nodding, Wu Cai realized that the young master's words were very reasonable. His family members were not necessarily reliable, let alone outsiders, even if they were domestic slaves... The money was touching, and there was no domestic slave who had to flee from the master.

"What does the young master mean?"

"Instead of not being able to keep the secret, it is better to just let go and sell the technology to them..."

He grinned at Wu Cai, and Shi Yiwen said.

"You said that the Liu family would be willing to buy out tens of thousands of taels. What made such a businessman willing to pay the money?"

“Because you make more profits!”

"right!"

He picked up the teacup again, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"You said, how many cloth shops are in Songjiang and are willing to pay for the drawings of the shuttle? I dare say that as long as the Liu family tries to use it, our door will be blocked in less than three days. Tens of thousands of taels will definitely not be available for everyone, but they will not think that there are thousands or tens of thousands of taels. How many cloth shops are in Songjiang? One hundred? Two hundred? Or three or five hundred? Even if the family only charges one thousand taels, it is hundreds of thousands of taels! Besides, the silver is ready-made, white snowflakes and silver!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Cai was stunned and stunned for a while before exclaiming.

"Gao! It's really high! Young Master Gao Ming, I admire you, admire you!"

Wu Cai's compliment made Shi Yiwen laugh and said.

"Actually, I tell you, the purpose of my creation of the shuttle is not to sell the flight to make money. Do you think what will happen after the flight to use it on a large scale?"

The young master's replies made Wu Cai frown and think for a moment. What would happen?

As he was puzzled, suddenly, his eyes lit up and he suddenly clapped his hands and screamed.

"Young Master, I understand. Your master's goal is not to weave cloth at all, but spinning. The shuttle can increase the weaving speed several times. In this way, the yarn must be in short supply, and the young master must have another magical mechanism!"

There is another magical mechanism!

Of course, there is another magic weapon, otherwise Shi Yiwen would not have had such a big deal.

The reason why "fly shuttle" was chosen is not because it has low technical content and simple structure. It is because the emergence of flies directly promoted the emergence of Jenny spinning machine, followed by a hydraulic spinning machine, and then a mule machine...

“Yaom!”

Putting down the teacup, Shi Yiwen looked at Wu Cai and said with a smile.

"If all the weaving machines in Songjiang are equipped with shuttles within one year, the production capacity will increase by more than 4 times within one year. At that time, there will be a "yarn waste". Just relying on the hand-screwed yarn of thousands of households will definitely not meet the demand. At that time, the yarn will be in short supply..."

Shi Yiwen said proudly as he waved the paper fan in his hand and felt the cool breeze.

"At that time, as long as you have yarn in your hands, you will definitely not have to worry about sales. As for competition..."

After a smile, Shi Yiwen didn't say anything more. Unlike Songjiang's weaving industry, which is mostly concentrated in cloth shops, Weitang's yarn is spinned by hand-cranked spinning wheels from men and women from thousands of households. This means that the yarn mill does not need to consider the competition among the leaders of the industry. It only needs to produce and does not need to consider the competition among the industry at all.

Looking at the smiling boss, Wu Cai tentatively said.

"Boss, do you really have a magic machine for spinning?"

Shi Yiwen smiled and pretended to be mysterious.

"Sell our shuttle first and earn the money from running a yarn mill!"

Shi Yiwen, who put away the folding fan, knocked it in his hand, got up and left, said while walking.
Chapter completed!
