Chapter 199: Weaving Cloth into the Peasant Households
Yang Yuanzhao thought about it for a long time, and decided that in order to expand this production, spinning and weaving must be on it, if there are conditions, if there are no conditions, the conditions for creating zào must also be on it.
Cotton textile mills, almost all under the eyelids of Jin merchants, have seen the construction speed of textile mills in other places, and then look at the cotton textile mills in Baotou, these Jin merchants, what are they not satisfied with, Yang Yuanzhao is a little radical, and he spends a little more money, but the majority of the entire cotton textile factory is Yang Yuanzhao, and he is also here to get it, they are just responsible for raw materials, compared to less than three months, they entered the state of trial production, and then compare with the champion Zhang Jian, it took two years to build a cotton yarn factory, In the first year, there was intermittent production, and the sense of superiority in my heart was simply going to be sprayed out, and the cotton textile factory was quick to make money.
Cotton textile industry, and other industries, there is a very different, as long as the spinning into the regular time, when the cotton cloth, or even the cotton yarn is completed, you can sell for money, whether it is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or in the Northeast, or even in the Beijing and Tianjin generation, buy a lot of machine-made cotton yarn, as long as the road is wide enough, you can sell it casually, what is the Jin business, although it has been the ticket number, but the business and the business, the network is also very dense, not to mention that it is only trial production now, even if it is large-scale production, it can be sold, Chinese's demand for cotton yarn and cotton cloth is almost endless.
If it is replaced before, this point, Yang Yuanzhao does not care at all, whether it is spinning, or weaving, it is a product, as long as there is a market, it is good, when the weaving is not solved, the number of workers is insufficient, selling cotton yarn is an inevitable choice, but now, this problem must be solved, on top of the industrial task, it is necessary to reach a profit of 50 million, and the number of primary industrial products can not exceed 30, cotton yarn is a primary product, but cotton cloth is a product higher than the primary product, which can be in the profit, occupies a considerable share.
The eight Jin merchants came soon, although they were not in Baotou, now the traffic in Baotou is convenient, at least Baotou to Suiyuan is through, which is equivalent to walking much better than before, fast communication, and a very solemn meeting, they came soon, for the current situation, are very satisfied, just thought that Yang Yuanzhao found them to inform the progress of the cotton textile factory, but did not expect that Yang Yuanzhao found them, for other things.
After the Jin merchants and shareholders arrived, Yang Yuanzhao said straight to the point: "Today, the meaning of looking for everyone is actually very simple, that is, to find a market for the product, and by the way, to train our workers in a larger range." ”
"Train workers, don't we have thousands of workers in our cotton textile factory!" A Jin merchant was very strange and said differently.
Yang Yuanzhao knows him, he is the head of the Qu family, and among all the heads of the family, he is more supportive of the cotton textile factory, he has at least 7 children and nephews, all of whom are in the preparatory center of cotton textiles, and the work is more attentive, and gradually became Liu Shu's right-hand man, Yang Yuanzhao has heard Liu Shu praise many times.
Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "It is estimated that everyone has children and nephews in the cotton textile factory, the situation of the cotton textile factory, we also know that the output of cotton yarn is relatively high, and the efficiency of weaving is relatively low. ”
"It's not easy, now, machine-made yarn, I'm afraid that there is no place to sell it, and our Chamber of Commerce will give it a package!" The Cao family, like the Yang family, is a businessman, but compared to the Yang family, their sphere of influence is close to the south, and in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, they are very powerful, and even many disciples of their family are officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, controlling a considerable part of the market.
"Yes, yes, we are the Chamber of Commerce, and we can sell it all over the country. Another businessman followed suit. The head of the Qiao family also said.
Yang Yuanzhao stretched out his hand and stopped everyone from continuing to talk about this issue, and after everyone calmed down, he said: "I know everyone's strength, the footsteps of Jin merchants are all over the world, these cotton yarns, you can find a market at will, but we are not thinking about the present, if it is really in front of us, it is good to sell the cotton yarn directly, why look for everyone, we are looking for the future." ”
"Young Master Yang, what do you mean?" The head of the Ji family, who had never spoken, said that the Jin merchants present were all old fritters, and they knew the meaning when they heard the strings, and after Yang Yuanzhao finished speaking, he was immediately thinking about what Yang Yuanzhao's purpose was in doing this.
"As we all know, around Baotou, there is no market for this cotton yarn, so we will expand this market."
"How to expand."
"Everyone is very supportive of the cotton textile industry, I don't know if you know the situation around Nantong?"
"Where is Zhang Jian?" The head of the Qu family asked.
Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
The head of the Cao family stood up, and then said: "I know some of this, my chamber of commerce has a little contact with Dasheng, Zhang Jian is very shrewd, before the establishment of the yarn factory, he has contact with many guilds, half of the cotton yarn will be supplied to the surroundings, used for ordinary weavers, Jiangnan, itself is a large textile province, so it consumes half of Dasheng, and the rest, most of them are sold to North China and Northeast China." ”
"The head of the Cao family is right, near Nantong, is a natural textile base, countless people are willing to spin and weave, what if we copy this process?"
"It's unlikely, we don't have a tradition of weaving, and it's too expensive to buy all kinds of materials." The head of the Qiao family questioned.
Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "Yes, we don't have this history, and we don't have this tradition, but what if we provide machines, even raw materials, and recycled cloth?" ”
Yang Yuanzhao's words made everyone a little stunned, no one thought that Yang Yuanzhao would say this, and the use of this method is also this method, how to say it, such a method, no one has ever thought that the cultivation of business and market can still do this, everyone here is considering, the pros and cons of doing this, and no one said a word suddenly.
This method, in fact, is Yang Yuanzhao according to some agricultural companies in later generations, some agricultural companies in later generations, small enterprises, used this method, such as labor-intensive, can not be replaced by production lines, or machine production, such as paste boxes, wire switch installation, coil winding, etc., of course, agriculture is the most, especially the breeding industry, release a part of the good seeds, give them to farmers to feed, and then according to a certain proportion and profits, recycle these animals.
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble!" Finally, after a long time, someone asked directly......
"The cotton mill will send a batch of goods, which can be given to the machine, raw materials, and processed by a wage, and the factory will inspect the materials, and if they meet the standards, they will be recycled, and if they are not up to standard, they will not be needed, which is so troublesome."
Baotou does not have this textile foundation, this is not afraid, he can cultivate, those textile machinery, can be modified according to the actual situation, he has the whole of China, various types of household textile machinery, in the future, even, will be these machinery, electrified transformation, in this case, what is needed, just a group of workers.
Come to think of it, the number of workers in Baotou is surging, especially when the landlords have handed over the low to the reclamation company, most of the tenant businesses are used for work relief and they are concentrated, and a large number of factories will recruit them in the future, and most of the women, they will have no jobs.
Although, Baotou gives men a very high salary, even if they don't understand anything, they need to be trained from scratch, the standard of wages, at least is 12 yuan, 12 yuan of silver dollars, what is equivalent to this era, equivalent to 5 feet of cloth, equivalent to half a bag of flour, and a lot of rice, 12 yuan, if you save a little, it is equivalent to the living expenses of a few people, women, it is no problem if you don't come out to work.
However, spinning and weaving are naturally suitable for women's production work, providing machines and raw materials, and even recycling cloth, they should pay attention to it, and even actively participate in it.
Chinese, especially these ordinary rural peasants, they are used to living a hard life, and no one will feel that if they earn more, they will waste it, and if they have the opportunity to make money and subsidize their families, they will definitely participate in it.
Now, in the hands of Yang Yuanzhao, there is no shortage of money, what is lacking is people, tens of thousands of workers are organized together to carry out weaving training, which is too wasteful, not only will not play a role, but because there are too many personnel, the time is too tight, and a few successful ones can not be cultivated.
Rather than this, it is better to automatically stimulate the initiative, when these workers, with the help of these looms, familiar with the situation of industrial production, homeopathic for spinning and weaving, to provide a good source of manpower, you know, cotton textile mills, the future of the first and second phases, and even the third phase of the goal, is to build this cotton textile mill, into a cotton spindle with more than one million large enterprises, this kind of enterprise, the need for workers, but an astronomical number, far from the current thousands of people can meet.
The businessmen on the scene are in deep thought, such a move is very novel, but some business-minded, after thinking about it carefully, still feel that there is a possibility of success, and now, there is only one problem that bothers them, among them, the head of the Qiao family, took the initiative to ask: "This, who will invest!" ”RS
