In this way, Lin Xia started to read books in the study and conduct daily inspections in various parks, and at the same time continued to make several inventions.

On this day, Birmingham entered Lin Xia's study and saluted Lin Xia: "Boss, I don't dare to call the shots of the president of the Dussel Chamber of Commerce. "Birmingham is Hong Xing's brother, and he still retains the habit of calling Lin Xia Boss.

"What does he want?" Lin Xia raised his head. The president of the Dussel Chamber of Commerce has been here for a few days, and Lin Xia has almost forgotten about this president.

He made two requests. Birmingham respectfully said to Lin Xia: "The first request is that he wants the exclusive agency of clothing in Valen Province. It also allows you to sell design rights, which can be used to make cheaper clothes to sell to civilians. "Since Lin Xia and the emperor proposed intellectual property rights, except for the music, no one dares to cover it at will, and even the design of the costumes does not dare to use it without authorization. Although there are also some small workshops imitating, large-scale production still does not dare.

Lin Xia did not reply to Birmingham, who continued: "His second request is that the cloth for our clothing be purchased from him. Of course he will also give us the best price. ”

Lin Xia didn't tell Birmingham directly whether it was okay or not, and said to Birmingham, you take him to the industrial park to wait for me, and I will go over in a while.

After Birmingham left, Lin Xia put down the book he was reading: "Chemical Fiber Production Technology".

............

When Lin Xia arrived at the industrial park, Birmingham was already waiting with a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man is about fifty years old, richly dressed, and looks like a businessman who has been in a shopping mall for a long time.

When the two saw Lin Xia arrive, Birmingham took the middle-aged man to salute Lin Xia and said, "This is Colin, the president of the Valen Provincial Chamber of Commerce." ”

Colin also saluted Lin Xia, although Colin is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the entire Valen Province, he is still a merchant and a commoner after all.

"Hello, President Colin. Lin Xia also greeted Colin, and continued: "A few of your requests Birmingham has already told me. ”

"Please also ask Young Master Lin Xia to agree. Colin was neither humble nor arrogant: "I believe that the cooperation between Young Master Lin Xia and the Valen Chamber of Commerce will be a win-win situation. ”

"There's no rush. Lin Xia waved his hand to Colin and said, "Follow me to visit the factory." With that, he walked to the Chanel garment factory first.

Colin is a businessman, and the so-called businessman is actually engaged in the work of buying and selling, and generally he is not responsible for production, which is somewhat similar to the suppliers in Huaxia. But Lin Xia invited him to visit, and he couldn't say anything. Colin has been in business for decades, and although he doesn't know what a "factory" is, he has seen countless production workshops, and in his opinion, the Chanel garment factory is nothing more than a larger workshop. The reason why he was able to apply for agency was mainly because Lin Xia's design was novel and very popular with the noble ladies, and because Lin Xia was a nobleman, he came in person.

Colin followed Lin Xia into the factory, Colin was very disdainful of the factory, the factory was indeed no different from the workshop that Colin had seen, if you want to say the difference, it is nothing more than a little bigger.

"This is the Chanel brand I built. Lin Xia didn't care whether Colin understood the brand or not, and introduced to him: "The clothes here are all endorsed by Mandy, and each piece of clothing produced is all handmade, mainly sold to nobles and rich ladies." ”

After listening to Lin Xia's introduction, Colin despised Lin Xia. believes that the reason why Lin Xia's clothing can succeed is nothing more than the design is ingenious, and the influence of Mandy. is also handmade, which piece of clothing in Charlemagne's continent is not hand-sewn, and even wants to use handmade as a gimmick.

But soon, Colin was dumbfounded and learned what clothes were not sewn by hand.

Lin Xia took him to a new garment factory, which was named Uniqlo Garment Factory by Lin Xia and had just been put into production.

The factory was a vast area, but there were not many workers, only twenty people, but what these twenty people were doing completely blinded Colin.

Each of the twenty people had a table with a pedal under it, and each stepped on his own pedal and moved his feet back and forth. The needles on the table will follow the movement of the feet and sew the clothes on the table up and down.

Colin asked Lin Xia with a shocked expression on his face: "What are these tables, I see everyone stepping on the pedals, the needles on the table are flying up and down, and the speed of sewing clothes is unprecedented, and there are at least ten workers on top of such a table." ”

"It's a sewing machine. Lin Xia said lightly: "These workers are not very proficient in the operation of sewing machines, and when they are proficient, one person can do at least twenty people's work." ”

Colin walked up to a sewing machine and looked left and right to study its structure. Lin Xia followed him and waited on the side.

Colin looked at it for a while, and said to Lin Xia with a look of amazement: "Breathtaking." ”

"Alright. Lin Xia beckoned to Colin: "Come with me to the textile factory again." ”

After arriving at the textile factory, I was shocked by the Jenny loom used in the textile mill again, but because I had already seen the sewing machine and saw the loom again, my psychological tolerance was a little greater.

Colin made a comparison between the weaving efficiency of the textile mill and manual weaving, and wanted to calculate how much faster it could be than manual weaving, but after calculating for a long time, he didn't calculate the result, in short, it was countless times faster. You must know that the Jenny loom started the first industrial revolution.

Lin Xia didn't bother to take Colin directly, and took Colin directly to the warehouse of the textile factory. There were all kinds of fabrics in the warehouse, and Lin Xia picked one up casually and handed it to Colin.

Colin was still shocked by the sewing machine and the loom, and took the cloth handed over by Lin Xia. As soon as the cloth was put into his hands, Colin felt that the cloth was so smooth, and he tried to pull the cloth again, and it was so strong that he didn't wrinkle when he took it casually.

"This is my new fabric. Lin Xia didn't care what Colin thought, and directly introduced: "I call this fabric polyester." ”

Colin hesitated, but asked the question he was most concerned about: "This fabric is expensive." ”

"It's not expensive. It is about twice as cheap as traditional cotton fabric. Lin Xia said lightly.

"Oh, twice as expensive. Colin began to think in his heart, and at the same time muttered, "If it is twice as expensive, the nobles must like this novel cloth, but the commoners may not be able to afford it." But if you can bargain with Lin Xia again, it can be cheaper, and relying on the strength of this cloth, civilians should be able to accept it. ”

Lin Xia was on the side and smiled at Colin there, and didn't remind him. Colin calculated for a while, then suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Young Master Lin Xia, what did you just say?

Lin Xia smiled and nodded. In fact, Lin Xia still reported a little higher, if the output is large in the later stage, it will be twice as cheap.

Getting Lin Xia's affirmation, Colin just looked at Lin Xia in dismay, he still felt incredible.

After visiting the three factories, Lin Xia took Colin out of the industrial park.

"I heard a report from Birmingham that you have two requests, President Colin, do you want to talk about it. Lin Xia looked at Colin with interest and said, "Don't worry, this is the first time we have cooperated, and I will definitely try my best to meet your requirements." ”

"There are no requirements, hopefully we can sign the contract as soon as possible. Colin hurriedly waved his hand. What are the requirements, buy the design right to make cheap clothes and sell them to the common people, will there still be Lin Xia's polyester cheaper, Lin Xia's sewing machine to make clothes at a low cost, and Lin Xia's textile machine to weave cloth faster? As for letting Lin Xia buy his own cloth, just kidding, I still want to buy cloth with Lin Xia!

"Don't you want the exclusive agency of Valen Province?" Lin Xia said.

Colin thought that when Lin Xia mentioned the matter of agency at this time, he was just telling himself that he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly said, "No, no." ”

"I can give you exclusive representation. Lin Xia's words startled Colin, he was too stimulated today, so he only heard Lin Xia continue: "But I need to charge an agency fee of 2,000 gold coins per year." ”

Unexpectedly asked for an agency fee, Colin was stunned for a moment. Everyone else is begging for their own agency, and Lin Xia even has to charge his own agency fee. But Colin quickly reacted, and immediately began to mentally calculate again, the demand for clothes in the entire Valen Province is huge, and the cost of Lin Xia's clothes is about twice as low as the cost of ordinary workshops, although 2000 gold coins seems to be a lot, but in a year, it is far more than usual. A ruthless said: "I will give out 2,000 gold coins every year." In order to show his sincerity, Colin said, "In the next few days, I will arrange for someone to send the gold coins over." ”

"Your decision is the right one. Lin Xia appreciated Colin's decisiveness and said, "If you come this time next year, the annual agency fee will need at least five thousand gold coins." ”
