Originally, Cheng Kaishang wanted to fight for it again, but when he heard the price of 100,000 taels of silver in a province, he kept silent.

As an old fritter who has been mixing in the rivers and lakes for so many years, can he still taste the meaning of Su Baiyi's words?

People sell 100,000 taels of silver for a provincial quota, and they give you several free of charge at once, if you continue to chatter like this, you will be a little confused.

Besides!

Cheng Kaikai knew that the agent sales right must be expensive, but deep down he didn't think that the sales right of this province was really worth 100,000 taels of silver.

He will not pursue something that is not worthy of the name.

However, being able to get the agency north of the Yellow River for free has already made a lot of money.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty was north of the Yellow River, where the richest families of the entire empire were gathered.

As long as this glass product is sold to Jingshi, it will be rare and expensive at that time, and a cup will be sold for 500 yuan, and there will definitely be a lot of people who buy it.

You can even sell more.

After the agency is finalized, it is time to negotiate the price!

Cheng Kaikai thinks that as a big household, he should get the goods from Su Baiyi, and the price should be at least half cheaper.

But Su Baiyi insisted on not reducing the price!

It means: I will give you whatever price I sell in the elm pavilion. As for how much silver you pull to sell in Jingshi, that's your business, I don't care!

But Cheng Kaikai disagreed!

The Ming Dynasty has never had such an unreasonable business, right?

I wholesale with you, why do you give me a retail price, is it reasonable?

The two even quarreled a little red-faced at one point.

In the end, Su Baiyi said: "The reason why the price you are given is the same as the retail is because our current source of raw materials is very unstable, and the output is very small, but the products are sold a lot."

In other words, we are in a situation where demand is almost in short supply.

If I can sell left and right, why should I sell at a lower price?

Mr. Cheng, you may not know, those big families buy a lot of them at one time, and I estimate that most of them are used to give away. So much so that I now have to tell my dude to start restricting purchases.

Tell me, I've limited my purchases, where is the reason to reduce prices? At least Mr. Cheng came to me to pick up the goods, and I promise to supply you with the largest part, which is already a discount! ”

Cheng Kaikai laughed and said, "Okay, then at the price Mr. Su said, ordinary glass products will be 500 wen a catty." But this thermos? ”

"Five taels of silver each!" Su Baiyi said: "But the manufacture of this cup is too complicated, and I won't make it in large quantities at the moment, so the quantity supplied is definitely not much!" ”

"Okay!"

The sales object of this kind of thing must be the rich among those rich people, and the less it is, the more precious it is, which Cheng Kai Kai also knows.

The two reached an agreement, and Cheng Kaikai left.

The production and sales of glass are solved, and all that remains is to count the money at home!

Su Baiyi's heart breathed a sigh of relief again!

Now, the matter of money has probably landed, whether it is glass or soap, it has become a best-selling item in the Ming Dynasty for the first time. Even if the perfume has not yet been born, Su Baiyi believes that it is enough to become popular throughout the era.

The funds for the construction academy have been secured!

But there's another headache!

Land!

In the past few days, the households in the Yuyuan area have basically been relocated, and more than 1,000 acres of land have been purchased by the Yuyuan one after another. But the 200 acres of land bought out by Mu Yongjiang in the west alone cannot be solved.

I have to say that Mu Yongjiang's vision is vicious.

The 200 acres of land he purchased were not much for the entire Yuyuan, but it was like a knife from the waist of the entire planned location to the heart. If this large piece of land is not taken down, even if the Yuyuan is built, it will be ugly.

You can't talk about it!

The key issue is not on the ground either, but on the soap.

It is undoubtedly impossible not to let Su Baiyi produce soap.

Then force him to bow his head.

In fact, from the beginning, Su Baiyi was not prepared to enter the textile industry so early, there is no way, since you Mu Yongjiang forced me to come in, then well, you should dig a good grave for yourself.

Huang Heng's cotton should be almost harvested.

Contrary to what Su Baiyi thought, Huang Heng's cotton purchase did not go well.

The first is that there are fewer goods!

Guide Province is located on the plain, which was the grain production base of the entire empire, so most of the land in Guide Province was planted with wheat, corn, sorghum and other food crops.

It's not that there are no people who grow cotton, it's very few!

There were a dozen or so disciples, each carrying silver, sometimes running for a day, but very little cotton could be harvested from the farmers.

After three days, Huang Heng took stock and felt that he was still far from completing Mr.'s task.

In three days, ten people harvested less than a stone of cotton.

The second is that the price is expensive!

What Su Baiyi and Huang Heng didn't expect was that the cotton on the market in Guide Mansion was almost forty yuan a catty, and a stone of cotton cost almost five taels of silver.

At the beginning, Huang Heng thought that the cotton in Guide was expensive, but later he inquired and found out that the price of cotton was like this. Because the density of this thing is small, it does not press the scale, and the yield per mu is relatively small.

Huang Heng reported the actual situation and difficulty to Su Baiyi, and then said that he wanted to go to Kaifeng to have a look.

Su Baiyi waved his hand and said, "The situation in Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion is almost the same, so you don't need to go." ”

The two were silent for a long time, and when they knew that Huang Heng was very worried in his heart, Su Baiyi asked again: "Isn't there any cotton sold in Guide Mansion?" ”

"Yes!" Huang Heng cautiously replied: "It's a boss from Songjiang Mansion, but he doesn't have much goods in his hands, if we need it, he still has to go to Songjiang to transport it, it takes about twenty days to go back and forth by water, I'm afraid it won't be done before the year." ”

"Let him go!" Su Baiyi waved his hand: "If he has the ability, he will supply us with a hundred kapok every month in the future." ”

"So much?" Huang Hengda was taken aback.

100 kabestos a month, how much cloth to make?

Generally speaking, the weight of a piece of cloth is about four catties, and a hundred kapok can make three thousand pieces of cloth.

Three thousand pieces of cloth in a month?

Crazy.

Although he thought it was incredible, he didn't dare to say that Su Baiyi was crazy, so he could only remind: "Sir, three thousand pieces of cloth a month, we, aren't we?" ”

"It's okay, just let him get it, it's not your business to worry about how much cloth you produce."

"Yes!"

Huang Heng went to the cotton store, connected with the boss from Nasongjiang Mansion, and explained his intention.

The boss of Songjiang Mansion was also taken aback when he heard that they wanted 100 asbestos a month.

However, they are all in business, so he naturally will not push the business out of the door.

The price of cotton is four taels of silver for one stone, and one hundred taels is four hundred and eighty taels.

Huang Heng paid a deposit of forty taels of silver first, and asked the boss of Nasongjiang Mansion to go back to trafficking as soon as possible. At the same time, it also increased the search for the surrounding areas and continued to buy cotton from retail investors.

Guide to the Defu, the Mu family!

Mu Yongjiang held a double-layer glass thermos cup in his hand, sat on the Taishi chair and drank tea, and sighed faintly: "Alas, Su Baiyi is Su Baiyi, such wonderful things can be made, hehe, five taels of silver and a thermos cup, this time it is really earned in the sea." ”

I don't know how much money a cup can make, but it is also a glass product, and an octagonal cup is only 100 yuan, and ten are only one or two silver.

But this thermos cup is obviously about the same as the consumables, but it is fifty times the price.

This is selling craftsmanship!

Mu Yongjiang preliminarily judged that a cup of Su Baiyi would have at least dozens of times the profit.

"Tut-tut!" While sighing, he said sourly: "I miss my Mu family, I am tired and tired every day, and I have to return to the villagers of Defu to complain, and it is only eight thousand taels all year round, which is twice the profit." ”

"Sir!" Scarface came in quietly through the door.

"Knives!" Mu Yongjiang straightened up, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said, "How is it?" See how this glass is made? ”

"Nope!" The knife shook his head: "Now the stoves over there in the Yuyuan are covered with green bricks, I can't see clearly from a distance, I'm afraid this recipe won't be able to get it for a while." ”

"Hmm!" Mu Yongjiang nodded, and said unwillingly: "I can't imagine any other way, grab a worker, give more silver, and set up a style!" ”

"Impossible!" The knife shook his head: "The people of Yuyuan are watching it closely, it is said that those refugees have been sold to Yuyuan, and every day except for eating, they are working and sleeping, and they can't leave half a step at all." ”

"Tut-tut...... People have a heart of prevention, and yes, if I have such a good formula, I will definitely do everything possible not to let it leak out! ”

"But, sir!" Dao picked up a tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said a little solemnly: "Let's not talk about the glass first, but this Su Baiyi ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, guess what he is doing?" ”

"Do what?"

"His people harvest cotton all over the world!"

"What?" Mu Yongjiang's heart trembled and he almost jumped.

Harvesting cotton, what does Su Baiyi want to do?

Weaving? Open the cloth line?

Mu Yongjiang's eyes narrowed slightly: If that's the case, you, Su Baiyi, are looking for death!

Who doesn't know in the entire Guide Mansion that this cloth shop is the business of the Mu family's hegemony, so you dare to come over and stir it up?

But think about it carefully, some time ago, Su Baiyi did say that he wanted to partner with the Mu family to open a cloth shop, did he really want to do it against Lao Tzu?

"How do you know?" Mu Yongjiang asked Scarface.

Daozi replied: "Do you know the old merchant who supplied us with cotton, I heard that Su Baiyi ordered a hundred stones of cotton from the old merchant, and said that he would ask for a hundred stones every month in the future." ”

A hundred stones?

Mu Yongjiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, slapped the table and said, "I know, I know." Su Baiyi, is this a trick to scare us? ”

Looking at Scarface's bewildered look, he explained, "When is it?" It's time for the New Year! Do you think about what use Su Baiyi can use to buy cotton now, really weaving cloth?

No way!

When he has enough workers to weave cloth and then produce cloth in large quantities, it will be at least March next year.

It's spring in March, does anyone still buy cloth? ”
