Chapter 1099: Stealing Business
Five hundred pieces of grey cloth is a small business for a textile factory, and in the summer the river is so abundant that it takes only a few looms to complete the order in a few days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When He Xing received Bai Ko's letter notice at the inn, he stayed for a while, and then ran to the street and hired a car to rush to the wharf warehouse outside the city, where five hundred pieces of grey cloth were stored in a small warehouse rented in his name, and the delivery person was waiting for him to inspect the goods and sign for payment of the final payment.
With excitement, He Xing finished inspecting the goods, happily settled the final payment, and was busy leasing the cargo ship back to Lugan County at the dock, and after these things, he returned to the city and spread the amazing good news in the circle of merchants in Lugan County.
Through the mouths of the merchants, the news spread rapidly in the large circle of the textile industry, when He Xing took a boatload of goods to embark on the return journey back to Lugan County, and He Xing's fellow merchants of the same grey cloth came to Xile Fang, wanting to sign a contract with Bai Ko for processing, because the warehouse of the previous family accidentally went flooding, and now they are on the verge of bankruptcy, and they must find another source of goods affected by the involvement, otherwise they will also pay compensation to the next family below.
Bai Ko does not refuse, processing materials, she only earns a little processing fee, lint and dyes are from the merchants themselves, dyeing cloth her workshop can also do, and the same guarantee of delivery within a few days.
In just a few days, more than 10 contracts were signed for processing with incoming materials, and the grey cloth was more than 3,000 horses in total, and the dyed fabrics of various colors added up to several thousand horses, which were delivered according to the contract time, and the lint and dyes obtained by the merchants through their respective channels were transported to the United Farm by boat, and then turned into a boatload of grey cloth and dyed cloth and transported back to the capital.
The textile industry in Beijing has collectively fried the pot.
Merchants who have channels to get lint and dyes have rushed to the joy of the place to sign a contract with Bai Ko, although no one summed up the famous saying, but the merchants are to act to show what is called time is money, Bai Ko does not fight a price war, she will not reduce the profits she deserves, the quotation of processing materials she calculates very shrewdly, the merchants do their own raw materials and pay the money for processing fees, evenly distributed to the finished product, the unit price is kept within the normal fluctuation range of the market price.
Under the premise that the price difference is not large, the most attractive advantage of the textile workshop is time, which is also the main reason why the merchants are flocking to the money and raw materials, and Bai Ko also sells their main products yarn-dyed cloth to them by the way, and the news of raising the purchase price of lint this year is also spread through the mouths of so many merchants, although the purchase price has only risen a little bit, but for the factory, as long as the purchase volume is larger, the overpayment is not a small amount, and the lint merchants are not afraid of not being moved.
The process of yarn-dyed cloth is more complex than that of dyed cloth, so the price of the finished fabric is relatively higher, and it does not matter if the price is raised to buy lint, and the intermediate profit is not affected.
As long as there is no bloody price war, it will not inspire a strong backlash from the old weavers, and the textile factory on the farm is only a small business that has just opened, and it cannot withstand the storm, so it will have to operate for some more time, and then talk about it steadily.
There are many faces near the United Farm who inquire about the textile factory, especially interested in looms, and even willing to pay people from the farm to take them to visit the factory, and there are even more people who want to visit the factory by disguising themselves as merchants.
For these strangers who don't know whether they are spies or merchants, the farm will have a special person to receive them, and they will only let them see the scene of raw materials getting off the ship and unloading and finished products being loaded on the ship.
Bai Ko's instructions were that these connoisseurs must not be allowed to see the structure of the loom, otherwise it would be copied, then their unique business would not be considered unique, and the ability of the old weaving experts in the capital to produce looms was also very strong.
However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Bai Ko wants to maintain the current good situation steadily, the veteran industry in the textile industry has felt the threat, and discussed how to block the development and growth of Bai Ko's side, the plate of the textile industry in Beijing is so big, come in a newcomer to grab a big mouthful, the share of others will be reduced, and there are not good and directly out of the game, are in this industry for dozens of hundreds of years and generations of old businessmen, including many of the royal merchants specializing in weaving, who wants to go out of the stage and give way.
Of course, Bai Ko also has a countermeasure, Gu Yun's shareholders who are sons and grandsons are not eating rice, Bai Ko will do things in the shopping mall, and they will do everything to deal with the interrogation and concern of colleagues in the court, Gu Yun even publicly declared that he wanted to take over the big textile orders of the imperial court as an imperial businessman, and made those old merchants jump every day.
This year's imperial court order has long been divided by each family, but once the textile factory on Bai Ko's side is done, it is not known who will fall on next year's imperial court order, the quotation remains the same, the delivery time is greatly shortened, and the palace may give Bai Ko all the business to do.
If you have a quick brain, you wrote an excerpt, crying in the name of the weaver that the textile factory run by Bai Ko has seriously encroached on the livelihood of the traditional weavers, and the merchants have flowed to the Bai Ko's workshop, and the old merchants have reduced their business, which will inevitably make the traditional weavers have a hard time making their livelihoods, and Bai Ko has also raised the purchase price of lint this year, which is worse for the bottom weavers, and strongly accuses and criticizes Bai Ko's malicious behavior of not caring about the life and death of others in order to eat alone for himself.
Gu Yun and the others, who had been prepared for a long time, were waiting for someone to write an excerpt complaint, Hua Qingyu, the news dealer, provided intelligence support in the back, when and where the minister who wrote the excerpt met who received what gifts and what connections the family members had with these businessmen, the interpersonal relationship was clearly checked, and the black history of the imperial businessmen who cried that their business was difficult was also a bunch of piles, and how many weavers became cannon fodder in order to grab business territory in their initial stage were also turned out. The imperial court's bid for a large order was so high and the low-level weavers were still poor, so I implored these big businessmen to explain it well.
The price difference between the quotation of the imperial court and the actual income of the bottom weavers, is the unspoken rule of officialdom, everyone knows it but can't say it under the sun, once it is said publicly, it must be investigated, Gu Yun They relied on themselves to be newcomers in the textile industry, there was no black history, and they sat on the high moral high ground with their feet crossed and watched the competitors suddenly fall into a life and death situation, and the ministers with relevant interests were also named in the imperial study to be trained, and they were embarrassed.
At this time, the city defense battalion came out again, the prince was ready to visit the textile factory in person, in the past, according to the usual practice, the winter quilts of the battalions within the scope of the capital were placed in the summer, and this year it was the turn of the city defense battalion to replace the winter quilts, from cotton clothes to bed sheets and sheets, which was a big list with great profits.
Bai Ko received an official letter from the city defense camp, confirmed the authenticity of the news, and informed the farm to prepare for reception, Gu Yun and Gong Changji also took leave from the Hanlin Academy, and the major shareholders of the three parties set off on the same boat with the prince.
