Chapter 39 Clothing
And clothes, I have to say, in this world there is a creature called "sea silkworm". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It grows in the offshore sea, and as long as there is floating organic matter in the water, it only takes two or three months to obtain the raw material for the production of clothing - sea silk, which is not much different from mulberry silk, and even has the shortcomings of silk that is not durable and has weak resistance.
There is also a kind of cotton that grows on the seabed, which does not need to be managed, only needs to spread the seeds in the seabed, wait for half a year, and then it can be harvested, only this time is a little troublesome.
Because of the profit-seeking nature of the merchants, the market price of raw materials was kept very low, mainly because these two kinds of seafood were troublesome to handle, and unless there was a professional and ingenious wood machine, it could not be woven into clothing at all.
The production of wood machines is impossible for ordinary people to have, so the exploitation contained in it is very large.
Upstream, the people who breed silkworms and pick sponges cannot sell them without the wooden machines of merchants, and the most widespread source of clothing for the common people is the clothes woven from silkworms and sponges.
There is also a source of clothing, and it is also the last kind of linen clothes, which is uncomfortable to wear or the most secondary, and the most important thing is not warm at all.
However, the textile machine manufactured by the industrial mother machine is completely customized according to the two kinds of seafood, silkworm and sponge, and its production speed is 100 times that of the textile machine of this era, and the cost of its production is one-third of the labor cost required in this era.
This gave Luffy the opportunity to destroy the original clothing market at a low price, and the common people who used to buy warm clothes with thousands of Berry would vote with the money in their hands.
Of course, the end of the road to wealth depends on the capitalists, just as the victory of the war lies in the enemy, in the destruction of the original clothing market in some of the series of reactions, Luffy, who occupies an absolute information advantage, can use his hands to play "finance", a virtual creation that cannot create value, but can plunder a large amount of value.
The home planet, Earth, was the first joint-stock company to arise from the overseas trading companies established in the Netherlands and England in the early 17th century.
The emergence of stocks prompted the emergence of stock exchanges. As early as 1611, there were merchants in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, buying and selling shares of overseas trading companies.
In 1773, the first stock exchange in Britain was officially established at the Jonathan Café in Chase Huey, London, which later evolved into the London Stock Exchange.
At this time, there was no radio generation, and the transmission of information was not convenient.
In the world with telephone bugs and video phone bugs, there were stock exchanges as early as 600 years ago, and most of the financial games that could be generated were not produced except for some financial games that did not appear because of the low productivity.
The buying and selling of stocks is the most basic. There are also the most dangerous but also the most exciting leveraged plays, and so on......
And all the ways to play, there is no solution formula, and there are only two words that determine the outcome - information.
The merchant magnate who occupies the information frantically loots the property of the middle class through the stock market, and how can Luffy not be tempted by the amazing money of the merchant magnate?
At this time, it is already autumn, the weather is much cooler, if you wait for a while, it will be even colder late autumn, and after a long period of time, the cold and snow will fly, before that, you must buy warm clothes.
In Luffy's hands, there is a cotton coat worth three thousand babelli on the market on one hand, which is very ordinary and rough, without the slightest fancy, and the warmth is not enough.
In the other hand, the cloth produced by the textile machine contains almost all the functions, and then the clothes made by the industrial machine production line are delicate, and you can have any color you want, and you will not feel the slightest cold at this time.
On top of that, if this is put on the market, the price is only a thousand bellies.
Next to it, there are also clothes worn by wealthy merchants and nobles, most of which are the best quality and rarest sea silk, but more important is the nylon material - this is called luxury - and for Luffy, as long as there is a raw material - oil, the cost of nylon production is lower than that of sea silk.
The northern part of the East China Sea is a crude oil production area, and some of the islands can add high-quality oil barrels as long as they dig up shallow ground, but due to the lack of utilization means, the capitalist attitude of the world's capitalists to suppress raw materials that cannot be monopolized has led to the market price of oil, which is almost cheap.
However, Luffy doesn't need to buy it for the time being, there are also two oil fields on the first island, which can produce enough and high-quality oil at this stage.
Gas engines require gasoline, and gas engines can be used to produce vehicles such as ships, automobiles, etc., to shorten the time spent traveling back and forth between the two places......
There may be a more efficient means of transportation......
When Luffy looked at the clothes on the market and the clothes he had, he didn't pay much attention, in fact, Mei Tachibana was wearing clothes that had just been produced, and then he saw that Mei Tachibana's originally extremely hopeful gaze for aristocratic clothes turned into a lazy look.
At this time, he held a pen and drew an oval pattern on the white paper, and around the gradually forming pattern, there were formulas for the calculation of air primes.
The northern region of the East China Sea, the main city.
Mei Tangerine came to the familiar bank, his hair was still gray, but his spirit was a lot more vibrant, obviously that batch of real gold brought him a lot of fame and benefits, and more importantly, he accidentally learned that Mei Tangerine's identity was very unusual.
After meeting again, the old fox who became a big manager was even more convinced, because although the clothes on the plum orange boy were not very gorgeous, the texture was extremely delicate, and every line was full of beauty, and it could be seen that this was handmade by everyone full of artistic sense.
Sitting upright, Mei Tangerine looked at the old fox across a coffee table, his face was calm, but he was very nervous in his heart, but he also did things according to Luffy's instructions, she slowly said: "I have a batch of clothes, do you have any channels to sell them?" There are no other requirements, but it must be fast! ”
“……”
The big manager was silent, while Mei Tangerine's face was leisurely, full of grace and elegance.
"Really......?" The big manager said with a little trepidation and surprise, "If I can, I'll arrange it right away......"
His heart was extremely excited, and after hearing "must be fast", he knew that he couldn't know too much, but he could get too many benefits.
It is necessary to know that the clothes in the prosperous area have completely killed the clothes produced by this small pimple in the northern region of the East China Sea, but the top-level clothes are difficult to pass on.
If it is a big man in front of him, he will definitely come up with exquisite aristocratic costumes produced in prosperous areas.
If it was a channel to arrange this kind of clothing, the benefits he could obtain might not be much smaller than that batch of red gold.
