Chapter 18 Someone took the initiative to deliver cotton
Yang Shenghai shook the rain off his body, then knocked on the door and walked into Zhang Feng's office, Yang Shenghai complained: "Boss, it's raining so hard these days!" ”
There was a lot of rain in the spring, but this year there was a bit of a surprise, it was very rainy, and it didn't play anymore, and the weather was a little abnormal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The rain was so heavy that Yang Shenghai didn't dare to take it lightly, and looked around the factory, and after looking around like this, Yang Shenghai admired Zhang Feng more and more.
The drainage ditch in the factory area is wide and deep, and the drainage is smooth, and there is no sign of water accumulation, and the rainwater is discharged outside the factory area until it is discharged into a small river not far away.
Zhang Feng walked to the window, looked at the dense rain curtain outside the window, and said: "With such a heavy rain, I'm afraid that many places will be flooded." ”
Yang Shenghai nodded.
………
The terrain of the Oriental Textile Factory is relatively high, the drainage is smooth, and there is no water at all, while Xu Shun was unlucky, he lost his temper several times and almost collapsed.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over!"
Looking at the knee-deep stagnant water and the cotton soaked in the water, Xu Shunben almost fainted on the ground, and Liu Dafu, the housekeeper next to him, also turned pale.
At the beginning, Xu Shunben in order to make Zhang Feng's factory unable to work, gathered all his own silver to buy cotton, these mountains of cotton are all stored here, this day after a few days of heavy rain, almost all the cotton soaked in water.
Thinking that this is almost all of his family assets, Xu Shunben's heart is vomiting blood......
The cotton was soaked in the water, and nearly 100,000 taels of silver were lost, and it seems that the Xu family has completely collapsed this time.
………
Qian Mansion, no, this is not a Qian Mansion, because this is just an ordinary courtyard, Qian Guangming is a nine-grade governor, and his financial resources are limited, so it is impossible to buy that kind of mansion.
In the west wing, Qian Guangming was talking to his daughter Qian Yue, Qian Yue'e was twenty-eight years old, middle-class and upper-class, and in terms of appearance alone, she could have seventy or eighty points.
Qian Guangming said: "Yue'e, I told you a family affair for my father, have you heard of the Zhang family in the east of the city, Zhang Feng, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is young and handsome, and he is just worthy of my daughter." ”
Qian Yue'e frowned and said, "Father, I have heard of the Zhang family you mentioned, they are a family of merchants, and I don't want to marry a businessman." ”
Qian Guangming said: "Girl, this Zhang family has strong assets, and what kind of textile factory has been opened recently, it is estimated that the family business will be even bigger in the future." ”
Emotional Qian Guangming is that the Zhang family is rich, while Qian Yue'e is a little disgusted that the Zhang family is in business and has a low social status.
Qian Yue'e said: "Father, your daughter is both talented and beautiful, my future son-in-law must be a scholar, at least he must be a lifter, I think this Zhang family is still forgotten." ”
Qian Guangming thought about it and said, it would be better to find a husband to be his son-in-law, so Qian Guangming nodded and said, "Yue'e, then I will push away this family business." ”
Qian Yue'e said: "Father, anyway, I'm still young, let's push away this family business." ”
Qian Guangming said: "Okay, good, go and get rid of this family business for my father." ”
Coincidentally, Zhang Yuanxiang came to the door, Zhang Yuanxiang came to the door this time, naturally it was also for family affairs, two days ago, Zhang Yuanxiang and Qian Guangming both said that they had agreed, only to enter the substantive stage of the dowry.
After getting a report from his subordinates, Qian Guangming entered the main hall with a haha, and when he saw Zhang Yuanxiang sitting in the main hall, Qian Guangming said: "Boss Zhang, rare guest, rare guest." ”
Zhang Yuanxiang hugged his fists and said, "Where, where." ”
The two exchanged a few words, Zhang Yuanxiang was about to get down to business, but Qian Guangming talked about it first, and still said with a haha: "Boss Zhang, I'm really embarrassed, I'm afraid that we won't be able to get married, and the little girl doesn't want to get married yet, so I'm going to wait a little longer." ”
Zhang Yuanxiang said happily: "Governor Qian, it's just right that the dog doesn't want to get married so early, so this matter will end here." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yuanxiang was so refreshing, it turned out that he came to the door to resign from his family, Qian Guangming was angry in his heart, and thought in his heart, you are a small businessman, what qualifications do you have to resign from this family business.
According to Qian Guangming's thoughts, when he agreed to this family business, he could afford Zhang Yuanxiang, even if he wanted to push away this family business, Zhang Yuanxiang had to beg for it, where could he be so happy.
Qian Guangming's face changed, and he said gloomily: "Boss Zhang, it's so good, then this family matter will not be mentioned in the future." ”
Zhang Yuanxiang said worriedly, it seems that he has offended the governor of Qian this time, hey, if you offend, you will be offended, the matter has come to this point, and there is no other way.
The words are not speculative, plus his goal has been achieved, and the matter has been made clear, Zhang Yuanxiang got up, hugged his fists and said: "Governor Qian, you are busy, I will leave first!" ”
Qian Guangming didn't get up, but said, "You please, don't send it!" ”
Watching Zhang Yuanxiang leave, Qian Guangming's face darkened, and he thought fiercely, he actually came to the door to excuse this family business, hum!
Qian Guangming didn't want to think about it, in the conversation just now, he first proposed to push off this family business, and Zhang Yuanxiang just agreed.
………
It rained heavily for several days, until the day before yesterday, when it cleared up, and as soon as the weather was good, there were more wagons coming to pull the cloth.
Some of these carriages even came from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the cotton cloth of the Oriental Textile Factory was of good quality and cheap cotton cloth, and after the merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou heard the news, some of them came to the door in person.
The cotton cloth produced by the Oriental Textile Factory has good quality and low price, which is not only sold well in Songjiang Prefecture, but also began to enter the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas.
Zhang Feng's cotton cloth quickly opened the market, and now Zhang Feng has a lot of orders, several of which are signed with cloth merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
"Order" such a thing, as well as Zhang Feng's business model led by the gradual acceptance of everyone, anyone to buy Zhang Feng's cotton cloth, first sign the order, pay a deposit of 30%.
The carriages of the Oriental Textile Factory went in and out, and the truckloads of cloth were transported out, Yang Shenghai was happy and worried, happy that the cotton cloth produced was in short supply, and the sad thing was that there were many orders, and the production could not keep up.
"Boss, we can't go on like this, we have less and less cotton in our hands." After sending away a group of cloth merchants who came to pull goods, Yang Shenghai couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly walked to Zhang Feng's office.
Zhang Feng's face was calm, and he smiled slightly: "Steward Yang, there was a heavy rain a few days ago, and now that the rain has stopped, I think someone will send me cotton to the door soon." ”
Someone took the initiative to deliver cotton!
Yang Shenghai shook his head vigorously, he didn't believe that Yang Shenghai was killed, and even, Yang Shenghai thought in his heart, the boss was in a hurry.
Zhang Feng said: "Steward Yang, don't you believe it?" Just wait. ”
Zhang Feng said this, Steward Yang was a little relieved, but he was also very curious, did someone really take the initiative to deliver cotton?
Zhang Feng smiled and didn't say anything, but turned to it, and asked about the preparation of the second job fair, the first job fair, Dongfang Textile Factory recruited 500 people, and this time, Zhang Feng was ready to recruit 1,000 people.
If you go to the factory area, you will see that spinning machines or looms are already placed in the factory buildings, and you can start work when the workers are in place.
According to Zhang Feng's plan, the final scale of the Oriental Textile Factory will be more than 3,000 people, more than 1,000 new looms, after the second batch of recruitment is completed, there will be a third batch, the fourth batch, in batches, until enough workers are recruited.
The textile industry is inherently labor-intensive, and it is not uncommon to need so many workers, but in the Ming Dynasty, if there is a large factory with more than 3,000 people, it is estimated to be shocking.
"Boss, there is a person who wants to see you, and the other party says that he is the owner of a weaving workshop."
Zhang Feng and Yang Shenghai were talking about the second recruitment, and when they heard the report, Zhang Feng was happy, and good things came.
Zhang Feng said: "Steward Yang, the person who delivered the cotton has come to the door, from today onwards, you will empty the warehouse and harvest the cotton well, and it is estimated that our warehouse will not be able to pile it up." ”
Yang Shenghai was confused, but still said: "Boss, our warehouses are all empty, and there is enough space to store cotton." ”
Zhang Feng nodded, and then said, "Let someone come in, I'll see him." ”
The person who came in looked bleak, as if he had encountered a big trouble, as soon as he entered the door, he immediately said: "Boss Zhang, you have to save me this time, this time I should die, I shouldn't have listened to Xu Shunben's bewitchment, I ......"
Zhang Feng waved his hand and interrupted the words of the visitor, "Boss Zhao, you are ......?"
Boss Zhao waved his hand and slapped himself in the mouth, "Boss Zhang, my weaving workshop is not going to be opened, I bought a large amount of cotton with Xu Shunben, and I hope that Boss Zhang will help me buy this cotton." ”
Xu Shunben's cotton was soaked in rain for most of the time, and the news had begun to spread, which caused the collapse of the entire Songjiang cotton market, and many merchants who had hoarded cotton with Xu Shunben could no longer sit still.
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Boss Zhao, your cotton is so expensive, I can't afford it." ”
Boss Zhao cried with a sad face and begged: "Boss Zhang, you must save me this time, you must buy my cotton, I, I can sell it cheaply, you must be able to afford it." ”
