Chapter 353, not to know
Liu Jin's delivery speed was very fast, Wang Shouren's side paid the silver quickly, and after only a few days of waiting, the 20 spinning machines and 10 looms that Wang Shouren needed arrived.
This made Wang Xian and Wang Gui couldn't help but shout again, and almost scolded Liu Jin for being a profiteer, and earned 20,000 taels of silver in just a few days, which made money at a speed similar to grabbing silver.
The spinning machine and weaving mill bought from Liu Jin were quickly installed and debugged in place, and this kind of machine is still a very simple machine, and there is nothing too difficult.
After thorough research, Liu Jin adopted the assembly line working method, the manufacturing speed of the machine is very fast, the installation and commissioning are also quite simple, and it can be put into use soon.
With the operation of the machine, a large amount of cotton is quickly transformed into cotton thread, and then the cotton thread is quickly woven into a piece of cloth, which is much faster than the traditional spinning and weaving speed of the past.
"Tsk, this cloth is of very good quality, very dense, and it is definitely the best cotton."
Holding the latest cotton cloth, Wang Gui couldn't help but check it carefully, the weaving speed of this machine is very fast, but the quality of the cloth is also very critical.
In this era, because it is all hand-woven cloth, so many times it depends on the craftsmanship of the weaver, the cloth woven by good craftsmanship is very dense, tearing, pulling strong, and the craftsmanship is not good, the quality of the woven cloth is very poor.
The famous Suzhou brocade in the south of the Yangtze River is one of the best quality fabrics, of course, there are famous cloths such as Shu brocade, Yun cotton, Lu silk, Hangzhou satin, etc., these cloths are of very good quality, and the most important point is that they are very dense.
"It's really the finest cotton, and all the fabrics that are woven can reach this level, that's the most important thing."
Wang Xian is also carefully inspecting the newly woven cotton cloth, which is much better in quality than hand-woven cotton cloth, and the output is high.
"This machine is really expensive, but it is really worth the money~"
Wang Gui couldn't help but touch the looms on the side, at this time, these looms were in his eyes, they were mountains of gold and silver.
Wang Shouren also carefully touched the newly woven cotton cloth, during this time, he also visited the large and small cloth villages in the capital, and also had an understanding of all kinds of cloth.
Cloth is a huge difference.
The best nature is the cloth woven out of silk, like Shanxi Luzhou produced that is the famous Lu silk, the price of a Lu silk is almost three taels of silver, Lu silk feels thick, strong and durable, delicate and bright, it is the best cloth in this era.
Some of the cheap fabrics even cost less than 200 wen a horse, and generally such cloth is linen, with poor quality and low price, but the sales volume is very large.
The cotton cloth woven by the loom in front of you feels very thick, because everything has been set in advance when spinning and weaving with the machine, and the quality of the woven cloth is very reliable and guaranteed.
"How much do you think our cotton cloth can be sold for?"
After thinking about it, Wang Shouren asked.
"Such a high-quality cotton cloth will be sold for at least 900 yuan a horse, and it will definitely be very sought-after."
Wang Gui thought about it and said with certainty.
"It's almost this price, but I heard that all the fabrics spun out of the Beijing Spinning Factory have not yet started to sell, and all of them are hoarded, and I don't know what this Liu Gongzi plans to do, once the cloth from the Beijing Textile Factory is put on the market, it may not be sold for the price of nine hundred wen a horse, but if it is sold for about eighty or fifty wen, there will definitely be no problem."
Wang Xian also nodded, and then thought about it and told the news he had heard.
"Nine hundred wen a horse?"
Wang Shouren couldn't help but secretly say that the cotton cloth he used to weave on a traditional loom could only be sold for 300 wen per horse, but now a horse can be sold for 900 wen, a price difference of three times.
Of course, the machine weaves thicker cloth, which requires more cotton, but it can't use twice the amount of cotton at all, but it can be sold for three times the price.
Coupled with the speed of this weaving, Wang Shouren immediately knew that the trading of this weaving cloth was indeed profitable, and it was very profitable.
"Liu Jin, why don't you sell the cloth he weaved?"
Then Wang Shouren began to think about it again, this weaving cloth does not sell cloth, this makes no sense, this cloth is not sold, what is the use of keeping it?
This made Wang Shouren very puzzled, he is now running a textile factory, and he knows the importance of circulating funds, if it were not for the support of the Wang family, he would not be able to withstand the toss at all by relying on the first 10,000 taels of silver.
Once a factory has no circulating funds, it will soon face closure, and the things produced must be sold as soon as possible to return the funds.
"It seems that we still have to find a time to go to Liu Jin's Beijing Textile Factory to have a look."
Wang Shouren thought so in his heart.
Wang Shouren's Caiyun Textile Factory had a new textile machine, and the speed of weaving began to increase greatly, and in the same week, it was still the same people, and the Caiyun Textile Factory had woven almost 3,000 new cotton cloths.
These 3,000 pieces of cotton cloth Wang Shouren sold 1,800 taels of silver, and in addition to the expenses of various aspects, he could almost make a net profit of about 800 taels.
"Earn 800 taels of silver in seven days, almost 3,000 taels of silver in a month, and earn more than 30,000 taels of silver this year~"
"Whew~This, this~"
After selling the cloth, Wang Shouren, Wang Gui and Wang Xian couldn't help but make a simple calculation, not that they didn't know, they were shocked.
Such a small textile factory, just a textile factory employing more than 100 people, can earn more than 30,000 taels of silver a year, which is incredible, and this silver is too easy to earn.
Originally, they thought that Wang Shouren opened this textile factory in the nature of playing tickets, not to make money at all, and he couldn't make any money at all.
But now that you do the math, you can not only make money, but also make a lot of money.
This made Wang Gui and Wang Xian, two old men in the cloth industry, couldn't help but breathe more.
"Childe, this is just 20 spinning machines and 10 looms, if we expand this scale tenfold and then produce cloth day and night, we can easily earn almost 500,000 taels of silver a year!"
Wang Xian said excitedly.
He didn't realize that at this moment, there was no difference between his face and the face of the capitalists of later generations, and when he saw the opportunity to make a lot of money, he actually thought of starting work day and night, and then there would inevitably be day and night shifts, and there would be two shifts.
At the same time, the first thing I thought of was to expand production capacity and expand the scale of my factory in order to earn more silver, but I didn't think about what would happen if more people joined the industry and formed a competition, and the sales were unsalable, or the price could not be sold.
Of course, they don't need to think about this problem now, because Daming itself is a very large market, unlike the countries in Europe, all of which are big and have a very small market, so they need to rely on the outside market for a lot of time.
The huge market of Daming is enough to allow the initial development of capital to obtain sufficient markets and raw materials, which is also incomparable with other countries.
"Earn 500,000 taels of silver a year?"
Hearing Wang Xian's words, Wang Shouren's eyes also widened slightly.
Although he was born in a big family like the Wang family, and the family was very rich, he also knew that the profits of the Wang family's various industries in a year added up to tens of thousands of taels of silver, not even less than 100,000 taels.
Therefore, he was also surprised to hear that as long as the current scale was expanded tenfold, the annual profit could reach 500,000 taels of silver.
Originally, I just wanted to give it a try and explore the knowledge contained in it, but I didn't expect to get a new important source of wealth for the Wang family.
Earning hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year is absolutely astronomical, and in the past, only those big salt merchants, grain merchants, tea merchants, and cloth merchants could earn so much silver, and only if the scale was very large.
Who would have thought that now just by running a factory, you can earn so much money in a year.
This made Wang Shouren can't help but think about it again.
"No wonder Liu Jin said that these industries he runs are for the benefit of the country and the people, if my factory capacity is expanded tenfold, the number of workers required will be almost twenty times larger, that is, more than 2,000 talents will be recruited."
"I can earn money myself, and more than 2,000 people can also have a stable job, and these 2,000 people are 2,000 families, and tens of thousands of people will follow the income."
"And the imperial court can also collect tax silver from it, which produces more cloth, and can also make more people afford to wear clothes, which is beneficial to the country and the people."
"I see~I see~"
Soon, Wang Shouren vaguely seemed to understand something, and suddenly his eyes began to shine, he didn't believe Liu Jin's words before, but now he experienced it himself, but he can clearly know the benefits.
He earned his own money, and these employees in the factory also had a stable and good job, the imperial court was able to receive tax money, and the common people also had more cloth to use to make clothes, which was a lot of benefits.
"Childe~Childe~"
At this time, Wang Gui's voice brought Wang Shouren back to reality.
"Oh~Oh, what's wrong?"
Wang Shouren came back to his senses, and there was a door opening in his heart, and he seemed very excited at this time.
"Childe, we have to hurry up and place more orders with Liu Jin's side and buy more machines like this, so that a good opportunity to make money must not be missed."
Wang Gui said in a hurry.
