In the Beijing Caiyun Textile Factory, Wang Shouren, who had just returned from the Wa Kingdom for not too long, came to his textile factory to take a look at the situation in the textile factory during this time.

Caiyun Textile Factory was originally just a textile factory opened by Wang Shouren for comparison, and it only invested tens of thousands of taels of silver at that time.

Who knew that because of the bold adoption of the new looms and spinning machines of the Beijing Machinery Factory, the production efficiency of Caiyun Textile Factory has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Because it is the first textile mill to adopt new technologies and new technologies, the efficiency of Caiyun Textile Factory is very good, and in just over a year, Caiyun Textile Factory has now become the largest textile factory in the entire Beijing-Tianjin region.

It employs more than 50,000 people, has tens of thousands of new spinning machines and looms, and can spin tens of thousands of pieces of cloth every day.

The Wang family's side originally just let Wang Shouren take tens of thousands of taels of silver to play, and originally didn't expect Wang Shouren to really be able to do anything.

Who knew it would be possible to make such a huge textile mill come out.

Now Caiyun Textile Factory has become the most important industry of the Wang family, and it can earn a huge profit of millions of taels of silver for the Wang family every year.

In the huge workshop of Caiyun Textile Factory, the machines are constantly roaring, and the female workers wearing uniform are skillfully operating the machines to spin and weave, which is very busy.

Wang Shouren watched carefully, and chatted with Wang Gui and Wang Xian beside him.

"How's the mill doing?"

Wang Shouren looked at it and asked.

"Young master, everything is fine."

"It's just that our cloth is very popular, and now many trading houses have sold our cloth to the Japanese and North Korea, and many commercial houses that went to Nanyang not long ago also purchased a large amount of cloth and sold it to the Nanyang region."

"If the market in the Nanyang region also expands, our cloth will be in short supply in the future."

Wang Gui and Wang Xian are the heads of Caiyun Textile Factory and the people of the Wang family's side branch.

For Wang Shouren in front of him, they are obedient, this factory is Wang Shouren's, and the current Wang Shouren is also quite amazing.

This expedition to the Wa Kingdom was a great victory for the imperial court, and all the soldiers who went out were rewarded.

Liu Jin was made an earl, although Wang Shouren was not knighted, but he was promoted to two levels, and now he is already an official of the fifth grade, plus he is the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, and he is the list of last year's imperial examination, and the future is promising.

On the Wang family's side, Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua is the champion, and now he is the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, and there is no problem at all in achieving the level of six Shangshu in the future, and it is also possible to enter the cabinet.

Now with Wang Shouren, as long as the Wang family does not rebel or the like, basically this wealth will continue for decades without any problems at all.

The Wang family can prosper, this Wang Hua, Wang Shouren father and son are absolutely indispensable, and their side branches can also follow the Huang Teng.

"What about the other textile mills in the Beijing-Tianjin area?"

Wang Shouren nodded slightly, but he was also immersed in the textile industry for a period of time, with his intelligence, everything is basically a mastery, and he also has a deep understanding of the textile industry.

"Everyone's situation is similar to ours, the demand for cloth in the market is very large, our goods are in short supply, and now everyone is expanding production on a large scale."

"Last month, the Sangong Textile Factory in Beijing invested in the construction of the largest textile mill now, which needs to employ more than 100,000 people and have tens of thousands of machines."

"This month, here in Tianjin, Zhang's Textile Factory also invested in the construction of a large factory employing more than 80,000 people."

"In addition, there are several large and small factories that employ tens of thousands of people, and there are even more textile factories with thousands or hundreds of people."

Wang Xian on the side hurriedly said.

"How many people are building new factories?"

When Wang Shouren heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Wang Shouren, who had studied the market, immediately felt that things were not very good, there were too many new factories, and the competition would become fierce.

On the one hand, after this large increase in production capacity, these fabrics will definitely be unsalable, and on the other hand, the price of raw materials will soar rapidly, because there are more people who need raw materials.

"Yes, the business is so good~"

"The speed of this new spinning machine and loom is too fast, the price of this piece of cloth used to be about 200 yuan, but now it is not needed for 80 yuan."

"Most of the decline in the price of cloth has also allowed everyone to consume more cloth, and the sales of this cloth have also increased significantly."

"Everyone has seen the profits, and they have all tasted the sweetness, so they are investing in large-scale factories."

Wang Gui nodded and said.

"Then it's going to be troublesome, no wonder Liu Jin emphasized the need to open up overseas markets very early, and the output of cloth has increased greatly, relying on our Ming to digest it, it will definitely be unsalable at that time."

When Wang Shouren heard this, he immediately frowned.

He realized an extremely serious problem, once so many new factories are put into use, the price of raw materials will skyrocket, and the cloth produced will be unsalable, and the price will fall, and the profit will be infinitely compressed, and it is very likely that there will be a loss.

"The master has already said, ready to go back to his hometown in Zhejiang to build a big factory, now the labor in Beijing and Tianjin is too expensive, two taels of silver a month, and three meals, this is too expensive, the key is that sometimes you can't recruit people."

"It's different in our hometown of Zhejiang, one tael of silver a month is the best way to recruit people, and then you can have tens of thousands of taels of silver left in a month."

"And the goods here in Zhejiang are also better sold, we are Jiangnan people, everyone takes care of our business, and it will definitely be better to do it."

Wang Xian on the side didn't seem to see Wang Shouren's worries, but continued.

"No~I can't build a new factory for the time being~"

When Wang Shouren heard this, he immediately shook his head again and again and said.

"Young Master, why is this?"

"The silver here is ready, and the money is ready to buy machines from the Beijing Machinery Factory, the machines of the Beijing Machinery Factory are very popular, if it weren't for the good relationship between the young master and Liu Jingongzi, the other party may not be willing to sell it to us."

Wang Xian asked with confusion.

"Yes, young master~"

"This textile factory is very profitable, if we don't take advantage of the fact that we don't open more new factories now and make more money, our Caiyun Textile Factory may not be able to maintain the status of the first textile factory in Beijing and Tianjin in the future."

"Once the 100,000-person factory of the Sangong Textile Factory is completed, we will not be able to maintain the number one position, and then this business will be robbed by others."

Wang Gui on the side also said, in their opinion, this prevents the status of the industry leader must be maintained, doing business, many times everyone likes to do business with big factories and big brands.

Caiyun Textile Factory can have its current status precisely because Caiyun Textile Factory is the largest textile factory in Beijing and Tianjin, with high output, good quality output and fair price.

Coupled with the prestige of the Wang family's father and son, everyone recognizes it, so even if it is the same cloth, the cloth of Caiyun Textile Factory must sell better.

"We can't expand anymore, if we expand again, the price of this cotton will definitely rise, and this cloth, who will we sell it to when the time comes?"

Wang Shouren shook his head and said.

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Wang Gui and Wang Xian were also slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized something.

"Yes, the price of this cotton is also rising all the way, last year it was less than 100 Wen, and now it has risen to 150 Wen, if these factories are open, the price of this cotton..."

Wang Gui seemed to realize something, and the whole person couldn't help but say: "Oh, we have to hurry up and stock some cotton, the more the better, how big is our factory, if the cotton is suddenly not enough, it will be over." ”

"Last year, we just built a factory, it seems that this piece of cloth can be sold for 150 Wen, as more and more factories are built, the price of our cloth is getting lower and lower, and now it is less than 100 Wen."

"This ......"

Wang Xian couldn't help but say.

The two are responsible for managing the Caiyun Textile Factory, and now after Wang Shouren's so, they immediately understand why Wang Shouren said that he could not build a factory anymore.

There are more and more factories, and the cotton on the market will definitely be in short supply, and the price of cotton will definitely rise at that time.

Now the market is still very prosperous, but once the supply exceeds demand, everyone will enter the price war, and then the profit will become extremely thin, and may even have to sell at a loss.

The situation will be even worse if you continue to invest in bigger factories.

Thinking of this, sweat welled up on their foreheads.

"We can't expand production anymore, otherwise we will definitely die miserably, and if there is no cotton and the cloth can't be sold, it will be lost."

Wang Shouren nodded, but his mind began to think about countermeasures quickly.

"Wang Gui, you should buy and hoard cotton as much as possible, the more the better~"

"Wang Xian, we don't invest in building a new textile factory, we can learn from Tianjin Garment Factory, specializing in finished clothes, even if the cloth is unsalable, as long as the clothes we make are good-looking and popular enough, then our cloth can also be sold without worry, and once the cloth is unsalable, we can also reduce the price of the purchase of cloth to make clothes."

After thinking about it, Wang Shouren quickly thought of two methods, so he commanded Wang Gui and Wang Xian.

He followed Liu Jin and knew the many industries under Liu Jin's command, and after a little thought, he knew how to deal with it, if nothing else, he would always learn from Liu Jin.
