Chapter 54: Vision

How to make a lot of money in Lingbiao? It's easy! Buying and selling, buying ivory, rhino horn, tortoiseshell, coral, pearl, incense and other rare treasures in Panyu Port and Longbian Port, and shipping them back to Huangzhou is several times the profit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Otherwise, it is to purchase stone honey, purify it to obtain white sugar as white as frost, or further make it into rock sugar, and sell it to Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei, and Henan, which is all huge profits.

But what Yu Wenwen wanted to know was not this answer, and what Li Hui wanted to say was not this answer, he exchanged glances with his companions, and when he saw that everyone was cheering him up, he opened his mouth to talk about his own methods.

Huangzhou cloth encountered "water and soil adaptation" in Lingbiao, but Huangzhou businessmen wanted to make a lot of money in Lingbiao, but the breakthrough was still related to cloth.

Huangzhou's textile industry, thanks to the application of water-powered textile machines, took the lead in greatly reducing costs, but such an advantage can not be maintained for too long, because water-powered textiles will be popularized sooner or later, so Huangzhou's cloth mills have already been prepared for a rainy day, that is, printing and dyeing.

Whether it is manpower or water power, the cloth spun out is plain, if you want to have colorful cloth, you have to dye the cloth, and if you want to make the cloth appear a variety of colorful patterns, you need to print, the two are collectively called printing and dyeing.

Huangzhou has never been famous for printing and dyeing, but with the vigorous support of Yuwenwen, Huangzhou cloth mill and affiliated dyeing workshops began to master better printing and dyeing technology than other places, the key to which is dyes and dyeing aids.

The original formulas such as dyes and dyeing aids were in the hands of Yuwenwen, and with the development and growth of the textile industry, gradually some workshop owners obtained the formula through "bidding".

Then we continue to ponder on this basis, and then exchange lessons with each other, and slowly study more printing and dyeing formulas, of course, in the eyes of outsiders, there is no special Wuzhuang concept, played a great role.

Wuzhuang Guan is in Xiyang City, collecting a large number of pills, these pills are used to refine the elixir is unreliable, but pondering and pondering to use in other industries often have unexpected surprises, Huangzhou cloth workshop and affiliated dyeing workshop is one of the beneficiaries.

After years of hard work, the printing and dyeing capacity of Huangzhou Cloth Workshop has left other places far behind.

Therefore, this is the key for Huangzhou businessmen to make a lot of money in Lingbiao.

"King, the grass people have inquired in Panyu, Longbian and Linyi Port, among the goods transported by the merchant ships, there is one kind of goods that is very popular, that is, dyes, such as indigo..."

The more Li Hui spoke, the more confident he became, and began to explain his observations during this period, that is, the demand for dyes was very huge in the Lingbiaojiao area, where a large number of cloth was produced.

Take indigo as an example, every year to arrive at the dragon weaving, Panyu merchant ships, will transport a large number of Tianzhu indigo, no matter how much will be snapped up, Lingbiao to the cloth mills around the country, need to buy a large number of indigo dyes and other dyes to dye.

This is a huge business opportunity, because Huangzhou can make all kinds of dyes, and their types and quality are no worse than Tianzhu's imported products!

Dye comes from plant pigments, some dye plants are rare in the Central Plains, so the dyes made by them must be purchased, but some dye plants are very common in the Central Plains, and the reason why the dyes produced are not dyed is not good, which is nothing more than the process of making dyes and the dyeing process.

The process of making dyes and printing and dyeing in Huangzhou cloth mill does not dare to say that it is the first in the world, but it is certain that there is a unique job, so the way that Li Hui and others figured out the way of wealth is to sell dyes to Lingbiao.

They inquired in Longbian and Linyi Port, and roughly estimated the profits of selling dyes, and found that it was profitable, because the developed textile industry in Lingbiao led to the fact that Huangzhou cloth may not sell well, but on the other hand, there is a huge demand for dyes.

Therefore, it is necessary to purchase a large number of raw materials, make dyes in Huangzhou, and then sell them to Lingbiao for sale, and the profits of such trading are not lower than those of cloth trading in the past.

Similarly, plain Huangzhou water-spun fabrics may not be able to sell local hand-spun fabrics in Lingbiao, but the Huangzhou colored fabrics and floral fabrics that are relatively washable and not easy to fade can have a good market in Lingbiao, because the locally dyed colored fabrics and floral fabrics are certainly not as durable as they are.

Therefore, Huangzhou Cloth Mill does not have to worry about the woven cloth not being sold in Lingbiao, it is nothing more than increasing the two steps of dyeing and printing.

"Well said, to have such a vision, it is really in vain that someone took you around Lingbiao in a big circle."

Yu Wenwen admired Li Hui and others for their vision, because this is the plan he was planning, to open up new markets for cloth mills and dyeing mills in Huangzhou and even adjacent areas, it is not enough to focus on the Central Plains, the vast Lingbiao area is a fertile land to be developed.

"The widow has said many times that if you want to make a lot of money, it is most cost-effective to buy low and sell high as a middleman, but it is difficult for others to benefit from such behavior, but the workshop in Huangzhou is different, and the owner makes money at the same time, but also benefits many people."

"The changes in Huangzhou in recent years, everyone can see, Huangzhou cloth has gradually become famous, but this is not enough, because sooner or later water-powered textiles will be popularized, there is no price advantage, Huangzhou cloth can only rely on printing and dyeing to maintain the advantage."

"But how long can that advantage last? No one knows, there is no impermeable wall in the world, maybe the secret of printing and dyeing will be stolen one day, what should be done then? What about the owners of the workshop, the guys, and what about the workers they hire? ”

"The popularity of Huangzhou is condensed by workshops and farms, and when the workshops and farms are finished, the hearts of the people are scattered.

Li Hui and her companions nodded, they grew up in Xiyang, of course they remembered the dilapidated appearance of Xiyang City back then, compared with today's Xiyang City, it was a world of difference, and no one wanted to go back to the past.

"So the widow wants to open up a new market for the Huangzhou workshop, so where is this market? The ridge table in this smoky land! ”

"When it comes to Lingbiao, others are discouraged when they hear it, and they think of coming to Panyu to buy overseas treasures and transport them back to the Central Plains for resale, but in fact, this is their narrow vision, because in addition, there are many transactions that can make a lot of money, so as long as they seize this market, the merchants of Huangzhou can be invincible!"

"It's not enough to sell cloth and dyes, but what else you have come up with, let's hear it."

Seeing that Yu Wenwen affirmed his opinion, Li Hui was very excited, and spoke freely with his companions, which was just a bold idea they had conceived in private, but now it was all revealed.

Lingbiao is always said to be a place outside the world, but in fact, the slang people living in this vast land are not all wild people who drink blood, they also have to dress and eat, and to Li Hui and others' surprise, Lingbiao's kudzu and hemp production is higher than they expected.

Even Jiaozhou has many places to grow kudzu and hemp, and it is precisely with so many raw materials that the textile industry in Jiaojiao is very developed.

With the popularization of water-powered textiles, Huangzhou, which is located at the junction of Shannan and Huainan, is facing more and more competition, which means that the cost of purchasing kudzu and hemp will be higher and higher, because other places will also purchase a large number of them, resulting in a shortage of kudzu and hemp.

Therefore, the vision of Huangzhou cloth workshop should be farther, Lingbiao not only becomes the market for selling Huangzhou cloth, but also becomes the source of Huangzhou cloth and hemp, so what should be done?

"The king has already gathered the hearts of the Feng Xian family, the Chen family, and the Ning family, and I want to come with their help, and we Huangzhou businessmen will be able to take the lead."

"The grass people feel that they can dump Huangzhou cloth on a large scale to Lingbiao, as long as they do not lose money or even lose a small amount of money, first use colored cloth to squeeze the local colored cloth, and then tie in the sale of plain cloth, and squeeze all the small handmade cloth workshops in Guangzhou and its surroundings!"

"When the time comes, we will purchase the kudzu and hemp produced in Lingbiao on a large scale at a reasonable price, and transport them back to Huangzhou to weave into cloth, even if the cost has risen sharply because of the long distance, but as long as the kudzu and hemp are sufficient, we can also control the cost."

"The caravans that buy kudzu and hemp in various parts of Lingbiao can purchase Lingbiao specialties such as stone honey at the same time, and sell goods from Huangzhou along the way, so that they can offset some of the high freight costs caused by the transportation of kudzu and hemp, which can also reduce costs."

"And a huge trade route between the north and south of the Dayu Mountains and deep into the Lingbiao is in the hands of Huangzhou merchants, relying on this trade route, other workshops and merchants can also make a fortune."

"This is only for the land route, if you can cooperate with Feng Xian's family, with the help of their fleet, open up sea routes to and from Huangzhou Xiyang, Jiangzhou Huangkou, Jiangnan Jiankang, Yangzhou Guangling, Fengzhou Hou'an, Guangzhou Panyu, transportation costs will be greatly reduced."

"Cao Min and a few other people have roughly calculated the cost, and feel that even if it is land transportation, this approach is also very feasible, as long as the source of Lingbiao Ge and hemp is mastered, it will be invincible in the future textile competition."

"If you can, the price of plain cloth to reduce the price of a small profit but quick turnover, color cloth to maintain the price of unchanged, with the Lingbiao sufficient kudzu, hemp raw materials as a backing, Huangzhou cloth mill textile costs can be controlled steadily, as long as adhere to a few years of low-price dumping, the surrounding area of the cloth mill not many can last a few years!"

Speaking of this, several young people were so excited that their faces turned red, and they hadn't talked about this idea to their own Aye, but at this time, they just wanted to know if they could win the favor of King Xiyang.

They are all concubines in the family, and the richest part of the family business is not expected to inherit, and the family resources are limited, and it is impossible to support them to join the army or make contributions to the army, so everything can only rely on themselves.

But he always follows Aya and promises, when will he come out again?

"Papapa" Yu Wenwen clapped his hands and looked at the young people in front of him with interest, the other party's vision was far away beyond his expectations, but this was not enough.

"That's a good point, but your vision, that's all?!"

Hearing Yu Wenwen's question, Li Hui and the others were stunned at first, and then became excited:

"King! The grass people thought that no matter how good Ge cloth and linen cloth were, they could not compare to Ji Bei Bu, so Huangzhou Cloth Fang should send people to Lingbiao to learn Ji Bei's textile skills in Jiaoguang and even Yazhou. ”

"The Central Plains has not seen Jibei widely planted, let alone the textile of Jibei cloth, and Jibei has been commonly seen in the Lingbiao area, if you can use this as a raw material, the hydraulic textile Jibei cloth is successful, and then figure out the printing and dyeing process of Jibei cloth, so that there is no cloth mill anywhere, can compete with Huangzhou cloth mill!"
