Zhao Junsheng walked outside the door to take a look, only to see Wang Xingyuan, the proprietor of Xingyuan Dyeing Workshop, standing at the door of the workshop, and stepped forward with a smile and said: "It turned out to be the proprietor Wang, I have been waiting for the proprietor to come over to get the remaining fifty taels of money, but the proprietor has never come, let's go back to the shop to settle the account!" ”

Wang Xingyuan was quite embarrassed on his face, and he said again and again: "I really can't stand the shopkeeper Zhao, the last debt collection is really a last resort for Wang, at that time, Yao Desheng relied on his wealth and power, and forced me to conspire with him, just to force the shopkeeper Zhao to sell the store to him, Wang had no choice, had to succumb to him, as for the fifty yuan of money, don't worry, don't worry!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "I also know that the proprietor Wang has a hard time, which is understandable, and I don't blame the proprietor." Since the proprietor didn't come to collect debts this time, what is the matter? ”

Wang Xingyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Wang has always been deeply disturbed by what happened last time, but fortunately, Yao Desheng can be regarded as evil and evil retribution, and he will no longer be harmful." Today, Wang booked a table of banquets in Desheng Building, and specially came to invite the shopkeeper Zhao to go to the banquet tomorrow, in order to make amends, and also ask the shopkeeper Zhao to appreciate his face! ”

Zhao Junsheng excused himself: "That's not necessary, right?" It's not a big deal, I understand the difficulties of the proprietor very well, and I won't blame it! ”

"No, no, no, this is a little bit of Wang's heart, if the shopkeeper Zhao doesn't go, he won't forgive Wang, Wang really doesn't have the face to see the shopkeeper Zhao again, don't want the fifty yuan of money!"

When Zhao Junsheng saw the other party say this, he just promised: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!" But one yard is one yard, and the arrears still have to be repaid! Let's go to the store and settle the arrears! ”

"That'······ Then Wang is disrespectful! ”

Zhao Junsheng settled the fifty arrears owed to Wang Xingyuan in the shop, stood under the eaves of the shop and watched Wang Xingyuan get into the carriage and leave, he had to sigh in his heart that Wang Xingyuan was worthy of being a businessman, the two had actually fallen out at that time, but now this person can still lick his face and come to make amends, and his skin is thick enough.

Feng San came out and said, "Uncle, why do I feel that this person has some bad intentions? ”

Zhao Junsheng was surprised: "No, why didn't I see it?" ”

"I don't see anything wrong with it, but think about it, this kind of person's city is too deep, and you have to be cautious when dealing with this kind of person, if he sells it without knowing it, it will be a miserable!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled: "Don't worry, it's just a meal!" ”

In the evening, a few of the experiments came back to report to Zhao Junsheng: "Uncle, we have been looking for cowhide and sheepskin to rub the breeches tens of thousands of times, and our hands have been worn out, and we don't see the pants worn, we see that the pants are enough, you see, the cowhide is polished and shiny, and the pants are nothing!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the cowhide and a few breeches and looked at them one by one, there was no fluffing on these breeches, and it seemed that the wear resistance was better than that of ordinary fabrics, and nodded: "Not bad!" ”

In order to increase the wear resistance of breeches, Zhao Junsheng originally wanted to sew a thin layer of sheepskin on the buttocks and back of the trouser tube, but the cost of using sheepskin was more than half, which made Zhao Junsheng give up this plan.

Through the results of the experiment, it seems that the wear resistance of this breeches is enough, and the next step is to take it to Wandu to look at, and obtain his affirmation, if it is approved, it can be mass-produced.

Without further ado, Zhao Junsheng immediately took a few semi-finished products to ask for Wandu Gui, why are they semi-finished products? Because the breeches were sewn from undyed fabric.

When he came to the Taishou Mansion, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, Zhao Junsheng handed the post to the soldiers who were standing guard in front of the door, and was soon led to the back hall of the Taishou Mansion to see Wandu Gui.

"Xiaosheng meets the general!" Zhao Junsheng stepped forward and bowed.

Wan Dugui obviously had just finished dinner and was drinking tea, he put down the teacup and asked, "Zhao Junsheng, why did you come to see General Ben so late?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "General, Xiaosheng has ordered someone to make a few semi-finished breeches, but they haven't been dyed yet, so take a sample and show it to the general today!" ”

"Oh, a sample was made so quickly? Bring it to General Ben! Wan Dugui was very surprised and hurriedly said.

"Yes, General!" Zhao Junsheng said and handed over the package.

Wandu took a pair of breeches from the guard's hand, pulled the elasticity of the fabric, and looked at the quality, he couldn't help but nodded, the elasticity and toughness were very good.

The principle that wearing breeches will not wear out the thighs has been figured out, just like a farmer hoeing the grass with a hoe, if the hoe rod is not tight, the palm will soon be worn out.

Wan Dugui asked: "Zhao Junsheng, how much does such a pair of breeches cost?" ”

Zhao Junsheng replied: "Back to the general, a coarse cloth skirt worn by ordinary people is worth about one hundred and twenty yuan after counting the manual cost, and a pair of pants worn by the soldiers in the army also costs more than two hundred yuan, but such a pair of breeches is about one hundred and twenty yuan if all the costs are counted, do you think about how the quality of the coarse cloth skirt worn by ordinary people can be compared with this kind of fabric?" Such a breeches is not expensive even if it is sold for two hundred and forty dollars! Xiaosheng believes that the price of selling to the military can be set at 200 yuan, and the price of selling to the people can be set at 360 yuan. ”

Wandu thought for a while and said: "The price is set at two hundred yuan seems to be too low, the quality of this fabric is much better than the quality of the pants that the soldiers in the army are now distributed, if the price is set too low, I am afraid that it will ······"

"Then I don't know what price the general thinks is appropriate?" Zhao Junsheng asked, he understood the meaning of Wandu Gui, and the price set too low would definitely offend many people, and it would also attract many people to covet it.

Wan Dugui said: "The price for the army can be set at two hundred and eighty yuan, and the price for selling to the civilian population is temporarily set at six hundred and eighty yuan, but the needs of the military must be met first, and there is a surplus before it can be sold to the people!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't expect that Wandugui's appetite was much greater than his, and he directly raised the price by a large margin, and the price of selling it to the people was three times that of the army, black-hearted!

"The general is wise! If the general thinks that the quality of the samples is passable, tomorrow Xiaosheng will let the female workers start work? Zhao Junsheng asked.

Wan Du Gui immediately agreed: "Then it's decided, and strive to let all the soldiers of the Liang County garrison wear this kind of breeches as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, hesitated, and then arched his hand: "General, now this breeches have been made samples, once it comes out, it will inevitably cause a lot of people with a heart to be greedy, will definitely find a way to get its textile method in hand, although there is the general's tiger might, those people dare not go too far, but they can't guarantee not to start with Xiaosheng, if they buy textile women with a lot of money, to obtain textile technology, then we have no advantage at all, over time, this textile method will spread all over the world, our financial road will be cut off!" ”

Wan Dugui frowned and said, "What you said makes sense, how can this be prevented?" ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "Xiaosheng wants to ask the general for an official and a half-position, if Xiaosheng has an official body, some people will be afraid, and Xiaosheng can also act with more means, at least Xiaosheng has an official position to suppress those female workers, so that they dare not easily leak their textile skills!" ”
