Chapter 183: Impact
The factory stipulates that wages are paid once a month, which is the first day of each month.
However, the reason why the female workers are suspicious is not because of the salary problem, but because they are worried that the government is recruiting female workers because of something strange.
And when the first batch of three or four hundred female workers went to work, the news came out that it was indeed a weaving workshop, and the workshop was really large, and I heard that there was a need for 1,500 female workers.
Only then did the women in Shangyong City let go of their doubts, and the next day many people enthusiastically signed up.
This salary of 3,000 yuan per month is really attractive.
By the third day, the weaving mill had recruited 1,500 people. This made the female workers who entered the factory very glad that they signed up early.
The women who did not enter the factory beat their chests and regretted that they were late or hesitated to get the news.
All in all, Shangyong Weaving Factory, in fact, is not only Shangyong Weaving Factory, but also weaving factories in nine counties have been set up, and the employees have been recruited neatly, with 5,000 female workers.
5,000 looms will produce 50,000 pieces of cloth per month, or more, at a very fast rate.
50,000 pieces of cloth a month need to consume one million catties of cooked silk thread, which is absolutely an amazing production capacity.
For Jingzhou, and even the entire south, the cloth and silk business has caused an unimaginable impact.
On the fifth day after the opening of the Shangyong factory, the cooked silk thread was finally delivered, and 1,500 female workers began to rush to work.
Of course, some people are skilled, and some people are not, this is because some people have experience in weaving, and some people don't, but it doesn't matter, the proficiency will eventually come up slowly.
Fangling County.
In the factory in Fangling County, there are 1,000 female workers. After Li Zhong returned, he first brought the cooked silk thread back to Fangling, and then distributed it to various county seats.
With 5,000 women workers, plus the capacity of the new looms, 5,000 pieces of cloth can be produced every three days. That is to say, the 200,000 catties of cooked silk thread that Li Zhong brought back will be consumed in six days.
It's a terrifying efficiency.
And if the new cooked silk thread cannot be purchased within six days, then the factory will be suspended, not to mention that the wages will be paid, but such a big profit, but it will be stopped, Li Zhong is also very anxious.
At this time, Li Zhong knew that the three thousand gold couldn't be played at all. They had to prepare more gold and take turns to go to Xiangyang to buy cooked silk thread.
Strike a balance between incoming and outgoing goods.
So this time Guan Ping did not look for Li Zhong, but Li Zhong came to the door first. Li Zhong and the other five businessmen have already been on the white list of the county guard.
The guards all knew them, and after Li Zhong arrived at the county guard's mansion, he was first introduced to the county guard's mansion and waited in a room, and it was not long before the guards took Li Zhong to Guan Ping's study.
"Lord Taishou." After Li Zhong entered the study, he respectfully saluted Guan in parallel.
Officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen.
Guan Ping is the official skin, as long as Guan Ping is still in office, Li Zhong will always be respectful.
"Sit down." Guan Ping sat cross-legged on the main seat, pulled his hips very casually, and asked, "Why did you come to see me?" ”
Li Zhong didn't care either, and sat down according to his words. He bowed and said, "Lord Taishou." The factory has already started, and it is expected that 10,000 pieces of cloth will be produced in six days at the earliest. I also asked Lord Taishou to go to Xinye, and asked Lord Mi Fang of the Xinye Market to help spread the word that there was cheap cloth in Fangling. Each piece of cloth costs 9,600 yuan. There is another thing, the villains made up 3,000 gold to go to Xiangyang to buy cooked silk thread, but it is really not enough to operate, and they ask Lord Taishou to help. ”
Guan Ping scratched his head.
Regarding going to Xinye to publicize that there is cheap cloth in Fangling Bazaar, this matter is a planned thing, there is nothing to say, send someone to go.
But there's a real problem with the money.
Of course, Guan Ping knew that after setting up a factory, he would buy cooked silk thread at a low price and sell it as cloth at a low price, which was definitely easy to do, but the additional investment would probably require thousands of gold. The profit in January is very high, and the return on investment is fast, but he is really in financial difficulty.
Guan Ping pondered and asked casually: "What is the purchase price of cooked silk thread required for a piece of cloth?" ”
"A pound of cooked silk thread costs four hundred and thirty yuan, a piece of cloth needs twenty pounds of cooked silk thread, and the cost of a piece of cloth is eight thousand six hundred yuan." Seeing that Guan Ping did not answer the financial question he was most concerned about, Li Zhong had no choice but to say.
"That's not bad, for every piece of cloth produced, we make a thousand dollars. Excluding transportation costs and labor costs, the net profit is also considerable. ”
Guan Ping's spirits perked up.
The general price of cooked silk thread on the market is around 450 yuan, and the cost of a piece of cloth is about 9,000 yuan.
"Okay, I'll send someone to Xinye to publicize it immediately. As for the gold, I'll get back to you later. Guan Ping said.
"No." Li Zhong was actually a little disappointed, but he still hurriedly promised, and did not dare to express his disappointment at all.
"By the way, how much gold do you need?" As soon as Li Zhong walked out of the door, Guan Ping asked again.
"Lord Hui, at least six thousand gold is needed." Li Zhong hurriedly turned around and replied.
"Got it, you go down first." Guan Ping waved his hand.
After Li Zhong was taken away, Guan Ping first sent someone to Xinye to inform Mi Fang, and then went to Sun Qian's office in person.
"Lord Taishou." Sun Qian was busy, but his ears were very sharp and he heard the sound of footsteps. When he looked up and saw that it was Guan Ping, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and there were other officials in the room, who also put down their affairs and got up to greet Guan Ping.
Guan Ping glanced at Sun Qian, this is a teacher. Recently, I've been busy and even my gray hair has come out, Fang Ling is really too expensive, and he is poor.
Ma Tan's stinky boy got another 3,000 gold to do an unsightly deed. Fang Ling tightened his belt up and down to get by.
If it weren't for that, Guan Ping would not have asked a few businessmen to contribute money to buy the first batch of cooked silk thread.
Guan Ping waved his hand and let the Cao officials present go down first. Then he came to the edge of Sun Qian's position and sat down, and said: "Sir, the weaving business will definitely make money, but I need to give the principal of 6,000 gold, you can see if you can free up 6,000 gold for me somewhere." ”
Sun Qian smiled bitterly, what he said was easy, the expenses of Fang Ling were so large, and he freed up six thousand gold!!
However, Sun Qian also knew about the weaving factory, and he was convinced of Guan Ping's means of collecting money. It's a profitable deal, so why not do it?
"The so-called open source and reduce expenditure, open source has no choice but to reduce expenditure. A few years ago, we recruited 120,000 recruits and sealed seven other divisions in one go. The clothing, weapons, and horses needed for the soldiers were a huge number. Cloth, leather, horses, iron ore. These materials were all obtained from the Shinno Mansion treasury and then forged by craftsmen in Fangling. This amount of money has not yet been paid. There are four or five thousand gold. But this batch of supplies is important. On the Xinye side, he was worried day and night that Cao Cao would go south. Desperately accumulating all kinds of supplies. The supplies arrived at Fangling, and we paid the treasures. In the case of Xinye, it can be repurchased again and the stock can be restored. If we don't pay, the stock of Xinye will decline. What should we do if Cao's army goes south and supplies are insufficient?" Sun Qian said.
Guan Ping slapped his thigh, he really didn't know how to be at home, he didn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt. It turned out that Fangling's finances were so difficult, and there was still this money that could be embezzled.
I'm worried about a ball.
If you want to say when Cao Cao will go south, ask me best.
Thirteen years of Jian'an.
It's still a long way off. Besides, after a year, you can earn back the principal with interest.
"Don't worry, sir, this matter is on me. I wrote to my father to tell him. Guan Ping patted his chest and should take this matter. Then he said cautiously: "But this time it needs six thousand gold, and the rest of the part, Mr. may raise it?" ”
"I want to find a way to give you six thousand gold tomorrow." Sun Qian frowned and thought hard and sighed.
"Okay, okay." Guan Ping immediately put down his heart, and then glanced at it guiltily, it really made the old gentleman work hard and did evil.
But soon Guan Ping left with his hands behind his back, still idle.
He is only responsible for giving orders and never gets involved in details.
Therefore, the subordinate officials are tired like dogs, and he himself can't be moved.
Early the next morning, Sun Qian prepared 6,000 gold for Guan Ping, and Guan Ping summoned Li Zhong and asked Li Zhong to go to Xiangyang to buy cooked silk thread.
Li Zhong went east by boat, arrived in Xiangyang that morning, and after entering the city, he found Chen Chuan again.
The two of them spoke again in the lobby. Chen Chuan's eyebrows were overjoyed, because the last twenty catties of cooked silk thread business really made him a lot of money.
Although the price is low, it sells a lot.
Chen Chuan was naturally smiling when he faced Li Zhong, a big customer.
"Didn't Mr. Li just buy 200,000 cooked silk threads and go back to Fangling? Why is it here again? Isn't it that the cooked silk thread has run out and you come to buy it again? ”
Chen Chuan joked.
Definitely kidding.
200,000 catties of cooked silk thread.
According to Zhang Yu's speed, he will weave one piece of cloth a month. Find 10,000 pieces of rain to consume 200,000 catties of cooked silk thread in a month.
This Li Zhong disappeared for a few days, and it is estimated that he went back to Fangling for a day, and he was on the road for a few days, if he could consume 200,000 cooked silk threads.
Chen Chuan knelt down and called his father.
At this point, Chen Chuan's guess is not wrong. Li Zhong stayed in Fangling for one night, and then came to Xiangyang with 6,000 gold non-stop.
It was only three days on the road.
consumes 200,000 catties of cooked silk thread, but it takes six days of effort. At present, 200,000 catties of cooked silk thread have not been consumed.
Chen Chuan was joking, but Li Zhong replied very seriously: "Mr. Chen guessed right, I came to buy cooked silk thread again." This time he brought a full 6,000 gold, and all of them were spent. Purchase 418,600 catties of cooked silk thread. The matter is urgent, and I ask Mr. Chen to quickly close the cooked silk thread. ”
The smile on Chen Chuan's face froze.
The last time Li Zhong bought 200,000 cooked silk threads at one time, it was already a big business he had ever seen.
I didn't expect to buy 418,600 catties of cooked silk thread this time?
The business of 6,000 gold?!!!
That's 6,000 gold.
In Jingzhou, this money is enough to buy six hundred war horses. This is not the gold that a merchant can take out first.
"This guy isn't going to be molesting me, is he?" Chen Chuan couldn't help but squint at Li Zhong, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
It's really incredible.
