Chapter 546 - Export Goods
The display is just a method, before the display, Zhao Xin also specifically inquired about the price of the Uzi steel knife, knowing oneself and knowing the other can be invincible, the same is true for business, I don't know the price, indiscriminately quoting, either too high, or too low, neither of which Zhao Xin wants to see.
The price of this knife is very high, and the price of Uzi steel itself is expensive, but compared to the knife, the difference is even greater, and he has not been to Tianzhu, Zhao Xin does not know how much this price is, but according to the simple data ratio, he is confident.
In addition to the high price, scarcity is also one of the important aspects, because of the scarcity of skilled craftsmen, for quite a long time, the number of Uzi steel knives was guaranteed to be very low every year.
This can be seen from the maritime merchants, a maritime merchant, at least 10 or more guards, with the wealth of the maritime merchants, basically a little larger, can mobilize tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but not all equipped with Uzi steel knives, there are 3, which is already considered high.
An Uzi steel knife, the price is in Tianzhu, it is an unattainable thing, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, a knife that is not much stronger than the Uzi steel knife, why don't they buy it, even if it is to improve the strength of the guards under their command, they must buy it.
Soon, these people began to inquire about the price, apparently only a preliminary inquiry, but what they got was about the same price as the Uzi steel knife, or even lower.
This is a great benefit, the Uzi steel knife is very famous in the Arab region, and the weapon that can defeat it must be above the level, such a weapon is not as good as the price of the Uzi steel knife, why not buy it.
As long as it is sent back, it is double or even triple the income, and the maritime merchants know this very well.
It sounds like the income of the magic weapon is not high, but this is just a multiple, even if the product is shipped back with one stone, it will be hundreds of times, and it will be unacceptable for the wealthy maritime merchants, a ship of 30,000 materials, the gross income may only be a few thousand, which is absolutely unacceptable.
On the contrary, it is such a high-priced product, what is the current price given by the navy, 20,000 yuan, take it back, at least 60,000 yuan, or even more, such a profit, for maritime businessmen, is also very attractive.
How much space does a knife occupy, but you can have the profit of a boat of low-priced items, a 20,000 yuan, 3 times, calculated, a knife can earn at least 40,000 yuan, perhaps, to try it, or even waste an Uzi steel knife, but for the noble generals, such a magic weapon can show their identity.
Purchase restrictions, of course, to limit purchases, even if there is no limit to purchase, a one-time dozens, or even hundreds, is not a maritime businessmen can buy, a one-time 2 million maritime merchants, in the maritime business, is rare, but they all the funds are exchanged for magic weapons, which does not conform to the laws of the market, a large number of such magic weapons poured into the market, which will inevitably cause turmoil, but is not conducive to sales.
Of course, Ding Haijun will not only sell magic weapons, magic weapons, but to attract them as a stepping stone, if they are interested, buy a few more, if they are not interested, they will not force it, with the help of magic weapons, let them understand that Ding Haijun still has good things.
Zhao Xin knows the sales methods very well, and in this stall, he took out Ding Haijun's high-end products specifically for them, not to mention the glass products, but they were not sold in Bianliang before, but they were specifically targeted, more representative of their national conditions and artistic style, of course, and porcelain.
Song Dynasty export products, taking into account the local style, or a few, similar technology mastery, until the Ming and Qing dynasties are relatively mature, Zhao Xin is a traverser, perhaps he can't remember the Arabic style, or the specific pattern of Tianzhu style, but from the existing decoration of the maritime merchants, as well as the style, it can be seen that some, under the addition of inquiry, finally formed a series of porcelain.
Different from the traditional porcelain kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ding Haijun's porcelain kiln can be adjusted at any time, some simple pictures, and characteristics, more Arabian style or Tianzhu style, Zhao Xin can't paint, but the basic appreciation ability, there are still there, after a simple adjustment, targeted products are produced.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there are also some simple ceramics with foreign characteristics, but the quantity is too small, and the value is not high.
Overseas trade has become an important pillar of the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the eyes of the merchants of the Northern Song Dynasty, the maritime merchants are still outsiders, unless they can't get by, or they try some low-grade products, high-end products, who will make foreign styles.
This is not the 21st century, the era when the moon in foreign countries are round, in this era, China is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the center of the whole world, although so many things are exported, whether it is silk, tea, or porcelain, the most high-end, will always remain in China.
Take antiques as an example, export porcelain is always the most common and the least valuable.
Now, Ding Haijun is like this, considering their needs, to produce products suitable for them, although in terms of porcelain, this porcelain can be regarded as the entire Northern Song Dynasty mid-range at most, but the glass products are beautiful.
The optical properties of glass are relatively high, coupled with a unique design, in which a lot of magical switches have been added, this is not the era of later generations, glass is rotten street, this is glass is still just emerging, in terms of visual effect, glass is far more than porcelain.
Buy, buy, buy, this is the current situation of the maritime merchants, the navy, there are not many products suitable for them, but these maritime merchants, their transportation volume is not large, the largest maritime merchant only has 2 ships.
This has something to do with this era, there is no convenient and fast means of communication, there is no unique measuring tool, a storm, can make a fleet separated, can not independently complete the voyage business fleet, but there is no independent completion of the single ship is more convenient, even if it is the same place of maritime business, at most encountered on the sea, but rarely go together.
No matter how big a ship is, the largest is only a thousand tons, plus personnel, material supplies, and how many goods can be loaded, and the existing products of the navy are enough to fill their ships.
For the Dinghai Navy, these sales of maritime merchants are just a drizzle, and a little output is enough to fill these ships, but the impact of this is far-reaching for the Dinghai Navy.
China is affected by the monsoon, and the main time of change is in winter and summer, that is to say, these maritime merchants who are currently arriving in China will not leave until about July of this year, after the monsoon has deflected, and until then, they will stay in China almost all the time, attracting with legitimate interests, which will be a very large force.
Now the Navy is lacking, it is so, it is time, the technology has been completed, if the sail is pure, the sail technology of 10,000 materials has been quite mature, the wood sent by Jiangnan may not be the best, but mass production, never required is not the best, the cost performance is moderate, the quality is better, these are almost.
The docks lined up along the harbor will become a terrible shipbuilding base in the future, and once the type of ship is determined, the tonnage of the ships of the navy will be rapidly increased.
I thought that in the past few months, I had to endure and balance the amount of various materials to achieve the best results, but I didn't expect that there would be such an accident as the maritime fleet, which greatly increased the capacity of the Dinghai Navy.
Shares, interests, plus the attraction of all aspects, in order to obtain sufficient benefits, almost all the maritime merchants in the Northern Song Dynasty were invested in helping the Dinghai Navy, through transportation, you can get some commodity quotas, fill their ships, or a useful supplement, the most important thing is that these transportation, is to pay.
This money is relatively speaking, it is a lot of money, especially for the maritime merchants, they couldn't use this time before, it was just a waste of consumption, but now they can get benefits, which is equivalent to a good thing, of course the maritime merchants are willing.
The huge transportation capacity has made a significant difference in Dinghai, which used to have to be considered between food and raw materials, but now there is no need for this, there is enough food support, and even some products can be exported, for example, canned food made from various foods, and some other new products.
Light industry, almost all labor-intensive industries, occupy a small area, use a lot of personnel, this is their characteristics, food factories are even more so, even without the help of some machinery, just some small workshops, can also produce.
Canned food is an area that must be involved, and so is food, which is different from the common foods in the Northern Song Dynasty now, these two foods are easy to process and easy to store.
Canned food is processed by heating to eliminate bacteria, the same, a method of reducing the internal air, sealed after heat treatment, even if no preservatives are added, it can be stored for a long time, which is of special significance for the military, for the ocean, food is also, through special treatment, remove the moisture in the food, form food, can be stored for a long time.
In daily life, these can become commodities, providing a new source of income for the navy, and in wartime, they are military supplies.
Canned food can put almost anything into it, the famous luncheon meat, which is the standard in wartime, can provide higher calories, and supplement a variety of proteins, it is actually very high, and the same is true for biscuits, through dehydration treatment, under the premise of the same weight, it is far higher than ordinary grain.
Before the popularity of diesel locomotives and the emergence of a large number of aircraft, the general logistics transportation was still through manpower or pack horses, in this case, the lighter the weight when the same demand was made, the less pressure on logistics.
Before, Zhao Xin also thought about getting these foods out in advance, but the food pressure on the Dinghai Navy has always been very large.
No way, in just two years, the population has increased from a few hundred people to 1.8 million, counting the flow and merchants, the total population may be close to 2 million, such a huge population, equivalent to the population of two Bianliang, the daily consumption of food is huge.
While arranging production, Dingjun ensured that so many people, the basic diet, was already good, and if you wanted more, it would not work at all.
The fleet of maritime merchants has helped a lot, and it is conservatively estimated that the total volume of the fleet exceeds 100,000 tons.
To be honest, these two foods are very simple, biscuits are shaped into squares through a variety of suitable recipes, and then dehydrated, and finally formed, if you want to be more light and condensed, you can also press it.
High-pressure plates, Dingjun does not have high-pressure materials, can not push the power, compressed biscuits require less weight, at most not to compress him to the limit, as long as he can maintain the shape, the future generations of small workshops can be made, Dinghai has no reason not to do it.
Canned food is even simpler, among the many steel formulas of the Dinghai Navy, choose the right iron sheet, make an iron box, and then through steam, high temperature disinfection, remove the internal air, and then press the edge to seal, this is very simple for the current Dinghai Navy.
Canned food and compressed biscuits, as military supplies, and the future of ocean voyages, is almost inevitable to use, even if there is some surplus now, must be stored, part of the rich supply to the Dinghai market, there is no export for the time being, when the ordinary biscuits and bread can be sold to the outside world, and it has gradually become a new profit point for the Dinghai.
The emergence of a large number of sea ships has completely solved the problem of insufficient capacity of the Dinghai Navy, and also broadened the horizons of the Dinghai Navy.
They felt that there was no need, the big ship was not only expensive, but also the construction period was long, and the effect felt that it was not as good as building a small boat, but the large ships of the maritime merchants with more than 10,000 materials reversed their ideas, and they really realized the important role of large sea ships.
Although the Dinghai Navy is next to the mainland and not far from the mainland, after all, it is at sea, and ships are indispensable tools, and at the same time, the larger the ship, the better the effect, not only stability, but also operating costs, which are all things that Zhao Xin once mentioned, but they did not realize it.
This is the problem of vision, the greatest means of the traverser, is to cross the historical vision, even if you don't know any professional knowledge, but as long as you understand the historical context, the trajectory of the development of various things, you can successfully guide the direction of a dynasty, the current Dinghai Army, in this direction is constantly moving forward.
In the past two years, Zhao Xin, whether it is in Baozhou, or in the Daimyo's Mansion, and then to the Dingjun, have shown magic, even if it is a Dinghai completely starting from scratch, it also has such a huge foundation, and the Dingjun is getting better and better, which not only makes Zhao Xin's prestige higher and higher, but also opens the desire in their hearts, and the Dinghai is not the end, but the starting point, a starting point for the rise.
