Li Zhi put a good soap industry and accidentally managed it, but he spent time to improve the loom and establish a weaving mill? Either this Li Zhi is messing around, or this Li Zhi's improved loom is really efficient! If it's really the latter, this Li Zhi is really a genius. www.biquge.info If this is the case, I must have a good relationship with him. Maybe if you attach Li Zhi, you will be able to get the wealth of the rest of your life.

Cui Wending thought about it for a while, but said lightly: "There are nothing more than three companies that do wholesale trading of cotton yarn and cotton cloth in Tianjin, the Yuan family in the west of the city, the Fei family in the north of the city and the Dong family in the east of the city, I am familiar with them, which one you want to do business with, I will take you there." ”

"It turns out that Cui Xianggong knows everything, so it's the best!" Li Zhi said: "Which one is bigger and gives a fair price?" ”

"The prices are all about the same, they are all wholesale prices that go with the market. If you want to say that the scale is large, it is the Dong family in the east of the city. His family sold cotton from the north to the south, and when the southerners weaved the cloth, he entrusted Cao Jun to sell the cotton cloth from the south to the north, and the cotton cloth industry was all bought and sold, and he was the largest cotton cloth merchant in Tianjin Wei. ”

"Then let's go find him!"

Cui Wending nodded and replied, "I'll take you there!" ”

Cui Wending didn't waste time, immediately got up, and took Li Zhi to Dong's house in the east of the city. The Dong family is not far from the well, and it will be there after passing through four or five alleys.

As soon as he got there, Li Zhi saw a large shop outside the courtyard of the Dong family, with various colors of cloth and cotton yarn in it. There weren't many people in the shop at Nuoda, but there was a guy who was carrying cotton yarn out one load at a time. There were several horse-drawn carts parked outside the shop, apparently for pulling goods, and at first glance this posture was a large cotton cloth merchant.

Cui Wending handed over the name card to the manager of the store, explaining that he was here to discuss the sale. The man in charge received Cui Wending's name card and walked into the backyard, and it didn't take long for a businessman with a square face and long beard to come out, it was Dong Zhiyi, the head of the Dong family.

"Which gust of wind blew Choi Sang-gong here?"

"Master Dong, I'm here to introduce you to business!"

"Good thing! Meddlesome! Inside please! ”

invited the two to the main hall to sit down, the servant of the Dong family handed over the new tea, and Li Zhi took a sip, only to feel that it was fragrant, and it was indeed a good tea.

"Master Dong, my little brother has opened a weaving mill now, and I want to buy cotton yarn from you, and then weave the cloth and sell it to you!"

Dong Zhiyi nodded and said, "Cotton textile has always been concentrated in Jiangnan. We sold cotton from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, and bought cloth from the south of the Yangtze River and sold it to the north, not to mention the round-trip freight, even the taxes and fees collected by the banknotes were a lot. If you set up a factory to weave cloth in Tianjin, it is a clear way to directly take the northern cotton yarn to supply the northern cotton cloth. ”

Li Zhi interjected: "I have to weave more than 10,000 horses a month, and Master Dong will give a cheap yarn price!" ”

Dong Zhiyi twisted his beard and said lightly: "This little friend wants to make such a big weaving workshop!" After a pause, he said: "The market retail price of cotton yarn is seven taels and five dollars a load, and I will give you a wholesale price, seven taels and four dollars!" ”

Where is Li Zhi willing to accept such a high price, he patiently bargained with the old man Dong, and finally negotiated a compromise price, seven taels and one load. After talking about the price of cotton yarn, the two discussed the price of cotton cloth for sale.

"Master Dong, what is the purchase price of cotton cloth in the market?"

"I collect the price of white cotton cloth from scattered weavers in the market, which is nine dollars a horse."

"How about I sell more than 10,000 horses a month at this price?" After a pause, Li Zhi said: "But my cloth has a characteristic, which is twice as wide as ordinary cotton cloth. When making clothes, you can cut the cloth into a standard width, or you can use twice the width of the cloth to make clothes without cutting the cloth, and you can make new patterns. ”

"Oh? And such cloth? Dong Zhiyi pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "This kind of cloth is rare, and it will definitely sell very well." If Xiaoyou sells this kind of cloth, no matter how much it is, I will buy it at the market price! ”

"Good! Deal! I'll come to you next month to buy and sell! ”

"It's a deal!"

After finding a channel for purchasing and selling, Li Zhi began to recruit people.

Li Zhi's treatment of the weavers is still the same as before, two taels of silver a month, and three meals with meat. However, unlike before, Li Zhi recruited both men and women this time.

Female workers were widely used in weaving workshops in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Jie, the first assistant of the Wanli Dynasty, once opened a large-scale weaving factory, hired many weavers, and produced a large number of fabrics for trading in the market every year. Li Zhi hired female workers as weavers, which was a matter of course in the concept of the late Ming Dynasty.

Li Zhi's recruitment benefits are excellent, but it is a fat shortage, so the recruitment is first of all to face the recruitment within the family. Almost all of the male relatives of the Li family are doing things in Li Zhi's soap workshop, so this time the second grandfather recommended more than 30 daughters and daughters-in-law of the Li family. On the Zheng family's side, Li Zhi's grandfather also found more than 20 male and female relatives.

After a little interview, Li Zhi accepted these people. recruited so many relatives, and almost all the relatives of the Li family and the Zheng family were recruited.

In addition to relatives, Li Zhi is also recruiting people in the neighborhood. Some time ago, the soap workshop hired six neighborhood children, and now they have received monthly money and live a well-off life. If you have money to take care of your rice and meat to eat, where can you find such a good day? The neighbors saw it in their eyes and were envious of the six lucky ones. As soon as the news of this recruitment was released, all kinds of neighbors came to the door to ask for jobs. Li Zhi screened and hired more than 70 qualified men and women.

However, these people are not enough, Li Zhi also needs to recruit from the society. Li Zhi asked his eldest cousin Zheng Kaicheng to write dozens of notices and post them in the prosperous area of Tianjin Wei.

Two taels of silver a month, and three meals with meat, such treatment is difficult to find with lanterns, and as soon as the notice is posted, the applicants are crowded into the courtyard of the Li family, and they almost want to break the threshold of the Li family.

Gu Lao Er, who was in Sitong Alley in the north of the city, stood outside the courtyard of the Li family, standing in the queue waiting for the interview, very worried.

He was lucky to know a literate bookkeeper, so he learned the news from the bookkeeper as soon as the Li family posted the recruitment notice, and rushed to the east of the city as soon as possible. He thought that if he knew the news so early, he would definitely be hired. But when he arrived at the courtyard of the Li family, he secretly said that the situation was not good-the crowd waiting for the interview in the queue had reached more than 100.

There are too many people who want to come to Li Zhi's house to work as weavers, and in these years, the war is chaotic and the economy is in recession, and it is very difficult to find a job. Two taels of silver a month and three meals with meat, such a life sounds unreal. But since it was the Li family in the east of the city recruiting people, this condition must be true -- the fact that the Li family recruited six people in the neighborhood before, gave two or two months of money a month, and managed to eat meat and meat, had already spread all over Tianjinwei, and everyone knew that the Li family was a rare and good employer.

Not only the poor who have no work to do, but even some people who have jobs have lost their jobs to apply here - who doesn't want to live a good life?
