Chapter 535, the price skyrocketed

"Finished clothes?"

When Wang Xian heard this, he was stunned and said, "Can this work?" ”

In this era, the clothes were basically made by the women of the family who bought cloth and came back to cut them themselves, and everyone rarely had the habit of buying finished clothes.

Only in Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing and other large cities there will be a few shops that specialize in helping people make clothes, but these stores require a lot of manual fees, and generally only large families can go to these stores to order clothes.

Ordinary people buy cloth to go home, or simply weave cloth to make clothes for the family, and they don't spend money to buy clothes directly.

That's why Wang Xian felt that Wang Shouren's method might not work.

"Of course it works, isn't Tianjin Garment Factory prosperous?"

Wang Shouren smiled and said very confidently.

"I also know that the Tianjin Garment Factory is Liu Jin Gongzi's industry, and the clothes they make are mainly sold to major factories and workshops in Beijing and Tianjin, and many factory orders under Liu Gongzi's command alone cannot be completed."

"We're different from them, we don't have so many factory orders for us to make."

Wang Xian thought about it and shook his head and said.

"How can there be not, how many factories are in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and isn't there more and more people running new factories, if the time comes, we will be worried that there will be no list?"

"In addition, we don't have to keep an eye on the list in the factory, we can also make all kinds of clothes and sell them to ordinary people."

"Young master, it's okay to make uniform uniforms for other factories, isn't it unrealistic to sell this to ordinary people, everyone likes to buy cloth and go home to make their own clothes."

"Who will buy ready-to-wear from ordinary people?"

Wang Gui also shook his head and said: "And everyone's figure is different, the ready-to-wear we make will definitely not fit, and this dress still has to be made according to one's own figure to fit." ”

"Of course someone will buy it~"

"You think, this kind of clothes, in fact, not everyone can make them, many people make clothes, not only waste the cloth, but also make the clothes ugly."

"If we do it uniformly and design it uniformly, the clothes made can save cloth and look better."

"As for the fit or not, although everyone's figure is different, most people's figures are within a range, and we only need to do it according to a few sizes."

Wang Shouren said very confidently that it is precisely because everyone makes clothes by themselves that this ready-to-wear garment is more marketable and contrarian thinking.

Making clothes is a more professional thing, ordinary housewives, even if they can make clothes, but they will definitely not be any better, waste of cloth, and not good-looking, this is the market.

"Listening to what Childe says, it's indeed a good way out."

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Wang Xian and Wang Gui couldn't help but nod their heads after pondering, feeling that what Wang Shouren said was still very reasonable.

"Go ahead, do as I say."

"How many people invest in a new factory, the next days will be difficult~"

Wang Shouren smiled, in fact, these things were also learned from Liu Jin, and they were often with Liu Jin, and they still learned a lot from each other.

"Yes, young master~"

The two nodded hurriedly, and were about to turn around and leave, when someone hurriedly ran over and said, "Oh no, something happened~"

"What's wrong?"

When Wang Shouren heard this, he frowned slightly and said.

"The price of cotton has risen sharply, and it has risen directly to 300 Wen~"

Wang Zhicun said breathlessly.

"What?"

"It's up to 300 Wen? Wasn't it only 150 wen yesterday? ”

When Wang Gui heard this, he immediately said anxiously that the cotton in Caiyun Textile Factory was not much, and it would not last long.

The key is that if the cotton rises to 300 Wen, the cloth woven by the Caiyun Textile Factory will basically have no profit, so what should I do then?

"There is not enough cotton to sell, Boss Zhang and Boss Li said that now the cotton is seriously out of stock, and they don't have much cotton in their hands, but there are a lot of people who buy their cotton, saying that for the sake of our old customers, we will be asked for 300, and if it is someone else, it may be 330."

"Didn't I hurry over and ask for instructions, do we want this cotton?"

Wang Zhicun hurriedly explained.

"300 is too expensive, don't ~"

Wang Gui said without thinking about it.

"Okay~I'll reply to Boss Zhang and Boss Li~"

When Wang Zhicun heard this, he hurriedly nodded and prepared to reply.

"Wait a minute, you go and tell Boss Zhang and Boss Li that we want all of their cotton, and we will come according to the price they said."

At this time, Wang Shouren spoke up.

"This..."

Wang Zhicun suddenly didn't know what to do, Wang Gui said no, this Wang Shouren said yes.

"Do what the young master says, and hurry up and buy all the cotton back."

Although Wang Gui didn't understand what Wang Shouren thought, he also hurriedly said, after all, this factory belongs to Wang Shouren, he is the boss, he is just a part-time worker, even if he is also a side branch of the Wang family, usually speaking, the key is still Wang Shouren's final say.

"Yes~"

Wang Zhicun hurriedly left in a hurry.

"Young master, if this cotton rises to 300, there will be no money to be made from the cloth we release."

Wang Gui saw Wang Zhicun leaving, and hurriedly reminded.

"Of course I know~"

Wang Shouren nodded and said: "Although there is no money to be made, our factory can continue to operate, and there is still cloth to produce and maintain the current customers." ”

"If there is no cotton, our machines will stop, and then the wages of the workers will be paid, and our customers will find someone else if they can't buy cloth."

"I see, young master Gao Jian~"

When Wang Gui and Wang Xian heard this, they immediately nodded and said.

"But, young master, how expensive cotton is, we may not have to buy this Boss Zhang and Boss Li, we can go to other people to buy cotton."

Wang Xian thought about it and said suspiciously.

"Boss Zhang and Boss Li are the largest cotton merchants in Beijing and Tianjin, and even they don't have much cotton, how much cotton do you think other people can have?"

Wang Shouren smiled and asked rhetorically.

"This...."

Wang Xian suddenly realized that there was a gap between himself and Wang Shouren, although he did not often manage the factory, but he also knew these things clearly, and he also saw the problem further.

"It's just a matter of getting enough cotton."

"Wang Gui, you immediately sent people to Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi to buy cotton, how much to collect, even if we can't use up this cotton, and sell it, it will be profitable."

After thinking about it, Wang Shouren instructed Wang Gui.

This feeling of being controlled by others is not pleasant, not to mention, you have to make money when you open a factory, and it is definitely cheaper to go directly to the production area to harvest cotton.

There is enough cotton in the hand to keep the factory afloat.

"Yes~"

When Wang Gui heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said.

"Move fast, I guess many people are about the same as us now, and they are all worried about the cotton thing."

Wang Shouren thought for a while and said.

In fact, as Wang Shouren predicted, with the sharp rise in cotton prices in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the original price of 150 Wen directly rose to the price of 300 Wen, and the textile mills in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area seemed to have ushered in a cold winter all of a sudden.

And then that's just the beginning, what's even more uncomfortable is that as there is less and less cotton, the price of this cotton goes all the way up, and the supply of cotton is getting smaller and smaller.

The Beijing-Tianjin area was originally very lively, and the busy textile mills suddenly stopped the fire, and the shareholders of many textile factories began to frown one by one.

Liu Jin's mansion, Liu Jin, who had just returned from Tianjin, had not had time to interact with his son for a while.

British Gong Zhang Mao, Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Fu, and Xu Guangzuo came to the door together, all of them with sad faces.

"What's wrong with everyone?"

"Why are they all sad, is there something big wrong?"

Liu Jin looked at the three of them and asked with some confusion.

Something that can make all three of them sad is definitely not a simple matter, something big must have happened.

"Don't you know, stinky boy?"

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin and asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, it doesn't seem like anything has happened in this capital~"

Liu Jin thought about it and shook his head and said.

Daming is now in the country and the people, and this year is a very rare good year with good weather and good weather, what can happen.

"The cotton in the capital has risen to the sky, only 150 Wen a few days ago, and it has risen to 300 Wen all of a sudden, and now it has risen to 400 Wen, and the most important thing is that there is no money to buy cotton."

Xu Guangzuo thought for a while and said.

"If the price of cotton rises, the price will rise, what big thing can happen?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he didn't even realize what the impact was, so he said without thinking.

"Stinky boy, are you pretending to be confused~"

"The price of cotton has risen, and the textile mill we invested in building is about to close down, and you must return the money to us for tens of thousands of machines bought from you."

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately pouted and said.

He came to Liu Jin today, in fact, to return the machine, the textile machine of the Beijing Machinery Factory, easy to use, but the price is also very expensive, a few hundred taels of silver for a machine.

Tens of thousands of machines, which is a huge investment of tens of millions of silver.

Since the three of them are now rich and rival countries, the huge loss of tens of millions of taels of silver still has to drip blood.

"Ah~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, and when he thought about it, he immediately understood what was going on.

"How long has it been since there was a shortage of raw materials?"
