Chapter 13: Borrowing a Step to Speak
Qin Chuan returned to the front yard and saw that Li Mingfang's man in charge of the warehouse was cleaning the finished product warehouse that had been empty with Shi Feng and others, this scene made Qin Chuan even more happy, knowing that the colored cloth dyed yesterday was taken away by the shopkeeper of the cloth shop for a while.

If the dyeing factory in Qinchuan wants to develop, it is certainly not enough to rely on these cloth shops in Tianjin Wei to sell colored cloth, and the people of Tianjin Wei are no matter how foreign they are, they will not make new clothes every month, and the colored cloth produced by the dyeing factory must ensure that there is a market, and there will be no inventory backlog, in the final analysis, it has to rely on those big cloth merchants in other places.
When those big cloth merchants can come to his Aurora dyeing factory to buy goods, Qin Chuan is not in a hurry.
Don't say that now this kind of machine-woven grey cloth is more delicate and beautiful than homespun cloth, his printing and dyeing technology is unique, and the dyed colored cloth is far brighter than any local products and foreign goods sold in China. At that time, it was strange that those cloth merchants did not rush to come.
What Qin Chuan has to do now is to hurry up and dye the colored cloth.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Chuan, who was thinking of going to Li Mingfang to discuss opening a refined salt factory, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He now has a limited amount of capital, and the money he earns is almost not idle for a moment, and he has to immediately purchase grey cloth, dyes, sulfuric acid, soda ash and other supplies needed by the factory.
Qin Chuan, who was a little frustrated, withdrew the steps he was about to take towards Li Mingfang's account room, turned around and told Chu Yunfei, who was following behind, to ask Li Mingfang about the sales situation, and he was ready to go back to the small building and think about it slowly.
It's just that before he could take a step, Li Mingfang's voice sounded behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Li Mingfang hurrying over from the account room with a complicated expression.
This made Qin Chuan very surprised, obviously the colored cloth in the warehouse had been taken away, why did Li Mingfang still look preoccupied, could it be that something had happened?
With a stomach full of questions, Qin Chuan waited for Li Mingfang to come to him.
Qin Chuan asked suspiciously: "Those shopkeepers of the cloth shop have all picked up the goods and left?" ā
As soon as he heard Qin Chuan ask about this, Li Mingfang couldn't help but smile on his face, nodded and said happily: "Gone, all gone, there is not a single one left of the two hundred colored cloths we dyed yesterday, they were all taken away." ā
"That's not all, those cloth shop shopkeepers still think that we don't give enough goods, and they all say that they will come to our factory to buy goods in the next two days. In my opinion, the colored cloth we dyed today will be taken away early tomorrow morning. ā
As soon as he talked about the sale of colored cloth, Li Mingfang was a little uncontrollable, his face was full of smiles, and he kept chattering.
"We're early in the morning, almost two thousand Yingyang are in hand again, and the next time I go to buy grey cloth, I can get another five hundred horses at a time. It seems that tomorrow we have to hurry up to let those new workers get familiar with the work of our dyeing factory, and arrange them to work in shifts earlier, if we dye 400 horses a day, then we can earn more than 100,000 yuan a month, and we can make more than 80,000 yuan after removing artificial raw materials and machine depreciation. ā
Knowing that it wasn't a sales problem, Qin Chuan relieved himself.
"Just ćććććć"
Li Mingfang suddenly remembered the reason for looking for Qin Chuan, and immediately put away his smile.
"The owner, there are two people who haven't picked up the goods or left, so they have to see you and talk to you face to face."
"Do you want to see me?"
Qin Chuan was also a little puzzled, thought about it and suddenly asked Li Mingfang.
"They're from the East Asian Dyeing Factory?"
Li Mingfang shook his head again and again: "No, no, they are not Japanese." ā
Li Mingfang straightened out his thoughts and said: "The owner, I blame me for not making this clear, one of these two people is from Taiyuan, and Li Yundong, the largest cloth merchant in Shanxi. The Li family not only opened cloth villages in Taiyuan, Jincheng, Zhangjiakou and Xi'an, but also specialized in the business of Monan, Mobei and Mongolia. I had met him once in the Nanyang dyeing factory. The other is the self-proclaimed shopkeeper of the Fulong Silk Village in the capital, surnamed Jin. ā
"Why are they seeing me?"
Li Mingfang shook his head and said that he didn't know, Qin Chuan thought about it again, and said secretly in his heart: "It doesn't matter if he is a cloth merchant or a shopkeeper, Lao Tzu is a cloth seller, they buy cloth, and if they come to the dyeing factory, then they can't run a cloth word." But that Li Yundong is worth seeing, just thinking about those big cloth merchants, this one is sent to the door, and someone will send a pillow if he is really dozing. ā
Li Yundong, a cloth merchant in Shanxi, is a tall northern man in his forties, although he also wears silk and satin, but his bronzed face is blazing, coupled with a beard and knife-like wrinkles on his forehead, he shows a long-standing and heroic temperament everywhere.
The shopkeeper surnamed Jin has a round face with fine skin and tender meat, a pair of thin eyes and crooked eyes, and he always seems to have a smile on his face.
Qin Chuan saw Li Yundong and the shopkeeper of the silk village surnamed Jin in Li Mingfang's account room, and the two sides sat down after a brief greeting.
Li Yundong and Shopkeeper Jin were a little surprised when they saw Qin Chuan so young.
However, the look of surprise only flashed on Li Yundong's face, and he glanced at the shopkeeper of the silk village surnamed Jin, and Li Yundong spoke first with a Shanxi accent.
"Shopkeeper Qin, Mr. Li must have told you about Meng's origin, your Aurora brand color cloth Meng has already seen, the quality is not to say, this is the best color cloth Meng has ever seen. Meng wants to order 5,000 pieces of colored cloth from you every three months, and this is the list of colored cloths I want this time. ā
Li Yundong said, took out a slip from his arms and handed it to Qin Chuan.
Five thousand!
This is a big customer!
Listening to Li Yundong's words, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart.
When Qin Chuan took the list handed over by Li Yundong and looked at it, he saw that it was an order form, on which were issued cloth of various colors and the quantity of each color. In addition to the common black, gray, blue, and blue colors, red, purple, orange, yellow, green, and dark blue are also available. Thinking about these small road goods that are not commonly used, they are used externally by Li Yundong, and the Mongolians are dressed more brightly than the Manchus and Han people at this time.
Li Yundong had been checking Qin Chuan's expression, and seeing that Qin Chuan had not changed significantly because of the number of orders he had quoted, he reached out and took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it over.
"Meng knows that Qin's shopkeeper is doing a prosperous business, and the color cloth is in short supply, and the price of the colored cloth ordered by Meng this time can add an extra piece of each color, if the Qin shopkeeper agrees, this is Meng's deposit."
Qin Chuan thought as he reached out to pick up the silver ticket handed over by Li Yundong.
Such a large order, generally have to be discussed, the manufacturer should give some preferential treatment to the cloth merchants, but this Li Yundong actually took the initiative to increase the price, Li Yundong, who wants to go south and north, has the bottom in his heart, not to mention selling these high-quality colored cloths from the Mongolians, I am afraid that he will make more money.
When he saw the amount of the silver ticket handed over by Li Yundong, Qin Chuan's face couldn't help but change color slightly.
The silver ticket handed over by Li Yundong was issued by Shanxi Dadeheng Qianzhuang, which is known as Huitong in the world, and Qin Chuan knew that this Dadeheng Qianzhuang was the most powerful one in Shanxi, and it had a semicolon in Tianjin and had an excellent reputation. This is nothing, the key is that the amount on the silver ticket is very attractive to Qin Chuan's attention.
The silver ticket that Li Yundong gave him turned out to be a large silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver, which was 70,000 yuan when exchanged for Yingyang.
Generally speaking, the deposit for an order is at most 20%, but the 70,000 pieces of Yingyang have exceeded 40% of the value of 5,000 pieces of colored cloth.
Qin Chuan said in his heart: "It seems that this Li Yundong is not only wealthy, grandma's, but he still wants to smash Lao Tzu to death with silver!" His posture is an inevitable victory. ā
Qin Chuan raised his hand and handed the order and silver ticket to Li Mingfang, taking the opportunity to take a breath and steady his mind.
Li Mingfang was also taken aback when he saw the gold and silver tickets, and was slightly stunned, his face was already full of smiles.
Seeing this, Li Yundong knew that his business had been completed, so he nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, look at this goods, when can I take it away?" ā
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said: "Shopkeeper Li, we can only dye two hundred horses a day now, but don't worry, from tomorrow we will have to work overtime to dye cloth, and I estimate that your five thousand horses will take thirteen days." ā
Li Mingfang heard Qin Chuan say thirteen days, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Don't say that he has promised to pick up the goods and leave these Tianjin Wei cloth shop shopkeepers, and he will hand over the finished products of the last two days to them. Even if you don't give those cloth shop shopkeepers, with the progress of 400 horses a day, 5,000 horses will be dyed in these thirteen days, which is just enough, but there is also a surname Jin on the side, Li Mingfang can guess what this gold shopkeeper is doing without asking, it must be to order colored cloth. Looking at the appearance of this surnamed Jin, there will definitely be no shortage of colored cloths, otherwise he would have rushed to mention the colored cloth just now, where would he have to meet Qin Chuan so leisurely. These two people are here, so they have to ask for clarification, and then give Li Yundong an answer!
Li Mingfang squeezed his nose and then gave Qin Chuan a look, but Qin Chuan didn't seem to see it, so he didn't change his words. Li Mingfang wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but it was inappropriate to think about it, so he could only secretly complain about Qin Chuan in his heart.
Li Yundong checked it slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, Meng will pick up the goods in thirteen days." ā
After Li Yundong finished speaking, he glanced at the golden shopkeeper on the side, leaned back in the chair and stopped talking, he just waited for Li Mingfang to give him a deposit in return, and then left.
When Li Yundong handed over the silver ticket, the face of the ticket was flipped over, although the golden shopkeeper couldn't see the amount of the ticket, but he was also a shrewd person, and when he saw Qin Chuan and Li Mingfang's appearance, he had already guessed something. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Shopkeeper Jin stood up, arched his hand at Qin Chuan, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Qin, there are some things I want to talk to you privately, can I take a step to talk?" ā
