Wang Youzhen now understands the second uncle thoroughly, and understands why the second uncle has the look of seeing a pretty widow.

In Wang Youzhen's opinion at this moment, the attractiveness of these water-powered looms is almost equivalent to that of the county magistrate, and even the governor's wife is taking a bath.

After all, the silver profit from the cotton cloth trade is much higher than that of the yarn spindle trade.

You can see it from the price of silver alone.

The yarn spindle is only one dollar and one spindle, but the cotton cloth can be sold for three dollars a horse.

Wang Youzhen couldn't help but ask: "Second uncle, what is the silver profit of each hydraulic loom." ”

When it came to the silver profit that he was best at, Wang Yanren withdrew his mind from the 'clicking' water-powered loom.

Listening to the 'click' sound of the water conservancy wheel and the beating of the weft, it did not affect his speech, but it became a high-class Kunqu drama sought after by bureaucrats and squires.

In the noise of the sound of the water, the sound of the wheel, the sound of beating the weft, etc., Wang Yanren's face obviously showed a little intoxication, and he talked about the water-powered loom Yinli in a thick voice.

The pedal loom in the workshop of the bureaucratic squire spun a piece of cloth, and counting the waste yarn, probably needed more than two catties of yarn.

The spindle is one penny and one pound of silver, and together with the rations of the spinning woman, it takes two dollars and five cents of silver to spin a piece of cloth.

The woolen cotton cloth spun in the workshops of the bureaucrats and squires, the price of silver on the market in Changyi County is three coins of silver.

That is, the bureaucratic squires earned five cents of silver per cotton cloth.

Wang Youzhen couldn't help but nod when he heard the detailed numbers listed by the second uncle.

It is indeed more than half a cent, or even twice as much, the silver profit has reached an astonishing five cents of silver.

Cotton cloth is a bulk commodity, and the cotton cloth sold by Jiangnan merchants every year is based on tens of millions of horses.

For every extra centimeter, I don't know how much silver I earned, let alone an extra two-and-a-half-cent silver profit.

This is still the price of coarse cloth silver in Changyi County, and there must be a lot of premiums in other places.

Wang Youzhen continued to ask: "Then how much is our cotton silver profit?" ”

When Wang Yanren was thinking about these words, he almost closed his eyes and listened to the noise, and he almost didn't moan out comfortably.

It's really like hearing a Kunqu opera that can be heard a few times in the world.

Wang Lingren heard his nephew repeat one side again, and then opened his mouth to speak.

First of all, the spindles used in the water-powered looms were cheaper than those in the workshops of the bureaucratic squires, at only sevenths and a half cents of silver.

Wang Youzhen just heard a seven-and-a-half-cent piece of silver, and couldn't help but nod.

I was very impressed in my heart, I didn't expect the second uncle's business talent to be so high.

Although the cost of spindles in the water-powered spinning mill is 6/5 cents of silver, it is also a factory founded by Wang Youzhen himself.

However, it must not be directly given to the water-powered weaving mill at cost price.

First, when the two types of factories develop to a certain scale, an important way to abuse power for personal gain has been cut off.

Otherwise, wait until the number of water-powered spinning mills and water-powered weaving mills grows to dozens, dozens, or even hundreds.

There will definitely be people who buy spindles at the cost price of water-powered spinning mills in large quantities in the name of buying spindles from water-powered weaving mills.

The silver profits involved in this are too great, even if the managers of the two types of factories do not dare, their relatives and friends have the courage to do so.

This is sucking Wang Youzhen's blood.

Second, separate management is conducive to reasonable competition.

Wang Youzhen is the mother factory, and the water-powered spinning mill and the water-powered weaving mill are the sub-factories.

The silver price is the same as that of outsiders, which can promote the continuous improvement of the water-powered weaving mill and mention the competitiveness of its own cotton cloth.

lest because you can directly get cheap spindles, you have sufficient advantages and lose the mind of competition.

Once the water-powered weaving mill loses the vigor of competition, it will not be far from dilapidation.

Wang Youzhen couldn't help but look forward to the second uncle's achievements in the future.

Wang Yanren's achievements are indeed worth looking forward to, a lot of cumbersome and redundant numbers, no need for any account books, just open your mouth.

This amazing memory alone, and the ability to analyze logically clearly, are enough to be called a businessman.

Wang Yanren said the specific number straightforwardly, without the slightest hesitation.

Because the cotton cloth of the hydraulic weaving factory is an advanced water conservancy machine, it only needs two catties of spindles to spin a cotton cloth.

According to the calculation of seven and a half cents of silver for a pound of yarn ingots, the cost of a cotton cloth is one penny and five cents of silver.

When Wang Youzhen heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Each cotton cloth has an extra silver profit of one dollar and five cents of silver?" ”

Wang Yanren can understand his nephew's mood very well, and it is rare to see a nephew who is very calm about everything, taking the initiative to interrupt others and still have this look.

Not only is it a nephew, but Wang Yanren has calculated the cost of a cotton cloth, and he has always thought that he has miscalculated it in disbelief.

It wasn't until he counted back and forth a dozen times that his fingers were sore.

I went to find the eldest brother Wang Changmu again, and asked the teaching gentleman to calculate it carefully.

It's still a penny and a half cent.

Only then did Wang Yanren believe in this incredible number.

Wang Youzhen couldn't help laughing, with such an astonishing number, the possibility of toppling Caokou increased by one percent again.
