Chapter 160: Acquisition

The large-scale purchase of new cotton has also allowed the manor, which has now expanded to more than 100 looms, to produce hundreds of pieces of cloth every day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the beginning of info, the cloth in the workshop was specially taken to the dyeing workshop to be dyed into a different color, and later Bao Cheng found that this was completely redundant.

Those who came to Xinglong Cloth to buy cloth were completely for the low price. It doesn't matter what color he is, as long as he can grab it, he will earn it. Bao Cheng is also shrewd, found some remote cloth shops, and actually saw business opportunities, this outside to buy a piece of cloth for six dollars of silver, here sold for five yuan, naturally from the Xinglong cloth wholesale to get a good deal, a swarm of flocks to buy.

In order to ensure that production can keep up with sales, Xinglong Cloth Industry has launched a purchase restriction strategy since the third day, and one person is limited to half a horse. In this way, it can not only ensure that the inventory can keep up with the sales, so that there will not be no cloth sold in the store, but also let those who want to hollow out the Xinglong cloth store set up a little obstacle.

The advantage of the purchase restriction is that everyone who buys cloth can buy it, and it can also limit the daily sales of cloth. Otherwise, it is really thousands of horses sold every day, and the workers in the workshop do not sleep endlessly, and it is impossible to have such crazy efficiency.

A long queue was formed in front of Xinglong Buxing to avoid a swarm of bees. The shopkeeper and the guys recruited were all in accordance with Lin Lan's instructions, and the old god was comfortable measuring and cutting cloth, which could slow down the speed of selling cloth. The proprietors are not in a hurry, and they are happy.

The business of the Xue family's cloth shop is bleak, and the guys squatted on the threshold, looking at the hot business of the Xinglong cloth shop on the other side with red eyes, and they were also a little helpless, who called other people's cloth cheap?

The cost of a piece of cloth and cotton wool is not much, and five cents of silver can buy a bunch, but the key is that the man-hours are consumed. A peasant woman can produce a piece of cloth a month only when she gets up early and rushes out at night, and the large-scale and high-efficiency production method like in Lin Lan's workshop has not even produced any signs in the Dajing Dynasty, where men and women weave and the economy of small farmers is the mainstay.

Selling a piece of cloth for five dollars of silver, calculated according to the working hours of one piece of cloth a month, is naturally a loss to her grandmother's house, but Lin Lan relies on the semi-artificial mode of water-powered spinning and weaving, with Jenny spinning machine and flying shuttle weaving, a loom, one horse can be produced in one to two days, and it is naturally a business that makes a steady profit without losing money.

The shopkeeper of the Xue family's cloth shop was so worried.

"The shopkeeper, a lot of cloth ordered with the cloth shop, have been delivered, do you want to buy it?"

"How much silver do they want?" Shopkeeper Liu carried his hands on his back, and his hair was so sad that his hair was about to turn white.

These middlemen who are connected with the Xue family are all cloth collected from peasant women and small workshops in various places, and then sold to the Xue family to earn the middle price difference. In previous years, business was naturally good, but this year......

"Just like last year, six dollars and four cents of silver."

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Tell them to get out!" Buying their cloth is more expensive than buying the right one's cloth, and what else do you collect, don't accept it! ”

The guy nodded yes.

Shopkeeper Liu has been in the cloth business all his life, he can't eat and sleep well these days, and he can't understand how this cloth can be sold so cheaply.

In the backyard of the Xue family's cloth shop, a large group of merchants were making a noise.

"Why is your Xue family so untrustworthy? After negotiating the cloth business, how can you go back on your word? ”

A merchant with a melon skin hat shouted, "That's it." Don't take such a bully. We are tired of collecting the cloth, and you don't want to collect it, should we hide this cloth and keep the seeds? It's too much! ”

The guys of the Xue family were crawling around in the cloth shop, and they were not vegetarians, and shouted: "If you want to blame it, go and blame the other family's Xinglong cloth shop." The price of their cloth has been pressed to five dollars of silver, how can our shopkeeper collect it? To whom do you collect and sell it? ”

"What? Five dollars a horse? We are running to the death, and the price of the cloth we collect is in the upper five cents and five upwards, where did they get so much cheap cloth? The food and drink in this store, the money in the store, no matter how it is considered a loss-making business, is it crazy? ”

The man shook his head helplessly and said, "So if you want to make trouble, go to the other side of the house." To receive your cloth, it is better to go to Xinglong Cloth Store to buy it, so I forgive you. ”

"Let's go! Let's go to the other house. Still don't let people live? ”

"Yes. This cloth can't be sold, and we won't be alive at the end of the year? Walk! You have to make a fuss, how can you do such a business, it's really not interesting! ”

A large group of merchants pulled the cloth cart and rushed towards the Xinglong cloth industry.

Lin Lan was fine and was also sitting in the backyard of Xinglong Cloth Industry. On the surface, Bao Cheng is in control, but in private, Lin Lan is still in control of the overall situation. The shopkeeper is also a clear-eyed person, and whenever something happens, he comes to Lin Lan to get an idea.

"Big boss, big boss, it's not good!"

Lin Lan asked, "What's wrong?" Is demand outstripping supply? ”

The shopkeeper said: "A group of cloth sellers are making trouble in front, saying that the Xinglong cloth industry has caused them to have no food to eat, and they want us to collect all their cloth." ”

"It seems that the Xue family doesn't plan to receive the goods, it's okay, Shopkeeper Qiao, the silver taels from a few days ago were taken out and the cloth was collected."

The old shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you received everything?" ”

"Well, it's all taken. But if the price is lowered, it will still be collected for five cents. "If it is according to the price outside, it will not be all out of order, and they will only sell it for five pieces of silver, and let them collect it for six pieces of silver, will it not be a loss-making transaction.

Shopkeeper Qiao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Outside is bustling and lively, and those who buy and sell cloth are really the same as the name of this business, prosperous and prosperous. I hired two shopkeepers and ten men, but I still couldn't spare my hands. However, Lin Lan estimated that such a popularity would not last long.

Cloth is not too much of a demand for supplies, today's popularity is because of the majority of greedy people, and when the heat drops down for a while, the cloth of Xinglong Cloth is still so cheap, then it will form a price reduction for the entire industry, but only Lin Lan is profitable, so it can be a monopoly.

In the Xue Mansion, Xue Jin's father and son were just as anxious. The cloth business is a piece of fat on their hands, and the business that they have just taken from the hands of the long house has encountered such a strong opponent, and it has not been open for business for several days, can it not make them anxious.

"Dad, I have inquired clearly. This prosperous cloth industry is really a ghost of Bao Cheng and Lin Lan. ”

Xue Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter who made the ghost anymore. The point is, where did this cloth come from? is so cheap, lower than the cost, if it continues to sell like this, the Xue family will have no business. ”

"The children sent to follow their wagons, which were brought from the manor outside the city. But just as he was about to get close to that side, he was stopped by the family inside, and he didn't know where the cloth came from. ”

"Looks like we'll have to talk to this enemy."

When the Xue family does business, it is natural to want money and power, and to call for wind and rain to dominate one side.
