Chapter 178: Long White Silk

First of all, how big is the new rein?

The new reins are equal to three France, four Ben, and seven England.

It accounts for 1/6 of China.

In the words of the new reins themselves, the whole chicken ass is theirs.

And then the new ones are poor?

This is an ethnic group that is easily overlooked, the Uyghurs, who are rich enough to enjoy national policies and a class of subsidies, and the per capita income of Urumqi and Karamay, two megacities, surpasses that of Hong Kong.

What's more, the folk customs are simple, he, like Xizang, has a strong religious belief and is very easy to fool.

If it is applied to the Xizang trade period, selling instant noodles Shaqima, look at the herdsmen.

Then the entire northern Xinjiang region is such a herdsman level.

In addition, his farmers are also very wealthy, and the per capita arable land area is the first in China.

It occupies one-sixth of China's land area, but has a permanent population of only 30 million.

And the economic value is high, the degree of mechanization is also high, the planting is all cash crops, cotton and linen, medicinal materials, silkworm cocoons, tobacco leaves, tea, red dates, grapes, dried fruits, since ancient times has a strong level of processing, although it is located in an arid, cold, barren place, but the product is much richer than the inland area.

Every year, more than one million Sichuanese, Shaanxi, and Gansu people pour into the new cotton picking, one or two months, which is equivalent to a year of local work.

Even if it's a desert, is it poor?

That part of the Middle East is also a desert, and it's all oil buried underneath.

Even in 2018, Xinbin is a port that traders can't avoid.

No matter what it is, you can make money by pulling the new reins, there are many ways, and there are many ways to find a new way.

Even if you sell cantaloupe, you can also make a lot of money.

If you can lose money in business in Xinyi, then you are not suitable for business.

Not only the international trade, but also its border trade is extremely developed.

It has 16 national first-class ports and 11 second-class ports.

It is a place full of wealth.

Two years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan has also recovered, and it is from this place that it cuts into the economic hinterland of Russia, and a lot of money can be earned.

As for Lianyungang's business, after finishing this order, Fan Yang will let it develop.

So I didn't interfere too much in Liu Dingxin's affairs.

Whatever he wants.

After a cup of tea, it was only half past nine, and Brian and Portland were still jet lag, so I was embarrassed to disturb them.

Anyway, it was nothing, Fan Yang stretched his waist and stood up.

"Let's go, Brother Jun, let's go out for a walk. ”

"Where?"

"Just follow me. ”

Downstairs, Dajun thought that Fan Yang was going to drive an Audi, but he didn't expect to go directly to the Cherokee.

"What's the matter, you don't drive?"

"No, go to Ganyu to see silk. ”

"Silk, what's your idea?"

Fan Yang smiled mysteriously: "Drive, you'll know when you get to the place." ”

As a port in the East China Sea, Lianyungang is located in Suzhou, and its history and culture are also extremely rich.

It is the overland Silk Road bridgehead.

It is also the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road.

It's just that after the new China, the trade of raw silk and cotton and linen has shifted to northern Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Ganyu District, northwest of Lianyungang, in the upper left corner, has a long coastline, is the main production area of fishery seafood in Lianyungang, with several large seafood wholesale markets.

This side is different from the foreign trade street that comes out of the sea passenger station.

It is a formal market for municipal planning.

Among the piles of seafood, there is the only remaining silk wholesale market in northern Jiangsu.

It took nearly an hour to drive to Qingkou Town, where there is a large state-owned silk factory, called Ganyu Silk Factory.

Right next to the silk factory is the small wholesale market.

It is not large, it was built in the 70s, and it is still an old covered open-air trading market.

To put it simply, it's like a farmer's market.

When it rains, water leaks everywhere, and you can see the vendors pulling the colorful tarpaulins on their heads, many of which are blackened.

During the period of planned economy, it was also a trading market for the supply of cloth, cotton and linen and customized clothing in Ganyu area.

But now it's deserted, and few people care about it.

Walking into the wholesale market, it feels like walking into the vegetable market, and the people who visit are some uncles and aunts.

Walked through most of the market, 80% of them are selling polyester, or pure cotton, curtains, bed sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, three-piece sets, only on the tail of the market, find a few selling silk, the product is also very single, that is, scarves, silk scarves, cheongsam, pajamas, and a custom Tang costume.

The domestic silk market has declined, and it is not a day or two.

At present, there is no silk enterprise that does not lose money, and it is all supported by state financial subsidies.

In the future, the four largest silk weaving factories in Suzhou and even the country, Soochow, Zhenya, Guangming and Xinsu, will also close down in the next few years.

It's time for chemical fibers.

It is an inevitable situation that technology will eliminate tradition.

In 1938, when the first pair of nylon stockings came out, they were wildly sought after by Western women, and when they couldn't buy stockings, these women used pens to pass off as stockings on their legs.

In 1972, a piece of Western Han Dynasty silk cicada clothes unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha, which was made of silk, weighed only 80 grams.

At today's level of nylon, a maximum of 10 grams can be made.

The smooth material of silk is also vividly imitated by polyester and acrylic.

But the new reins are an exception.

Until today, even in 2018, silk has been wildly sought after by Xinyi people, and it is also the most important raw material for traditional national clothing.

But the new reins were already rich in silk.

It is also the largest digester of silk.

Transporting silk from Suzhou to the new reins will be so bad that you won't have to wear your pants.

There is one exception.

It was also Fan Yang's whim who wanted to give it a try.

If the development is successful, it is likely to be a unique project.

Because the backlog of silk is serious now, the overall price is not high.

He was ready to sell Hada.

I found a stall selling silk at random, the owner was an old man, with a few rolls of silk fabric in the back and a bunch of silk scarves in front.

The color is also flowery and green.

The quality looks okay.

Fan Yang picked up a silk scarf casually and asked, "How did you sell it?"

The old man was optimistic that it was not easy to come to business, and his spirits perked up, and he got up and sent a cigarette to Fan Yang first: "Cheap, 2 yuan a piece, wholesale price, how much do you want? ”

"It's only 2 yuan a piece?" Fan Yang was slightly taken aback.

No matter how silk it is.

The silk scarf on his hand has a light texture and a double-sided material, which should be 8, and Fan Yang knew that it was silk as soon as he started it.

It's not millimeters, it is applied to the process of silk, it is called mommy, and one momme is equal to 43 grams.

8 momme is 35 grams.

The width of 1 meter x 1 meter, one square meter, and the weight is only 35 grams, which is called 8 specifications.

You can imagine how thin and light it is.

Polyester is far from meeting this weight specification.

That's the essential difference between the two.

General silk fabrics, 8 momme, 10 momme, 14 momme, 22 momme, generally these specifications.

8 momme and 10 momme, generally used to make pajamas, a bit translucent, small mood.

The thickness of 14 momme is just right for a cheongsam.

It's both lightweight and snug.

It's a very good thing in itself.

But there is a downside, it is too niche.

22 Mommy is generally used to make clothes.

There is also a kind of 4 momme, which is called yarn, silk yarn, and later many Hanfu outfits, ancient costume veils, which are this kind of specification texture.

Fan Yang's three major business divisions in his previous life, one of which was in Jiangsu, also had a lot of contact with the garment industry, and knew some basic things, including silk.

As soon as he started it, he looked like a connoisseur, and after a little weighing, he asked, "This should be Changbai silk, right? Why is it so cheap?"

Speaking of cheap, the old man nodded hurriedly: "It's really cheap, it's sold at a loss, do you want more, the price can be less, look at our fabrics, it's cheaper to sell in bundles......"

It's just a strong pitch.

The two stalls next to it also sell silk, one is an old woman, and the other is also an old man.

In these two stalls, there are a few old men sitting and drinking tea, and an old lady who is embroidering on silk.

looked at Fan Yang with blank eyes.

One of the old ladies interjected and said, "Why don't you buy some? I have it here, and I can embroider it, so you can help us." ”

Fan Yang was stunned.

"What? Are you having a hard time?"

The old lady sighed, and sold miserably: "The wages in the factory can't be paid, don't sell, and they won't be eaten by insects in the coming year, buy a little bit, we old people can do any craft, and the handwork is free." ”
