The continuous signing of the business, so that the surrounding staff are very excited, because there are too many people, separate reception, these people are busy and happy, the total amount of 1.2 million, the down payment of more than 300,000, the follow-up can also be directly returned, in this era, businessmen do not have the same deception as in later generations, although there are those who break the contract, but most of the merchants will not break the contract lightly, which is related to the credibility of the future.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao will not sign at will, the signatory will leave a detailed name and address, place of origin, and will be under the contract of the government here in Wuhan, such a credibility is quite strong, what kind of person is Chen Kuilong, the governor of Huguang, in Huguang is almost called a monstrous power, even in the officialdom of other places, there are countless protégés, Yang Yuanzhao's approach, in his opinion, is to lose money and make money, but in Chen Kuilong's view, it is a great support for him, the product variety of the persuasion industry, With the support of Baotou, especially a variety of industrial products, it is equivalent to making up for an important link, many products, has been called the results of this persuasion, if the volume of transactions to a new level, it will be even better.

The three-fold down payment, in Chen Kuilong's view, is not a matter at all, the summary is the transaction volume, the reduction of taxes and fees, but also depends on the total transaction volume, for this, as long as the total amount rushes up, what does it matter if he is endorsed by a governor, I am saying, such a contract itself is endorsed by the government.

Zhou Jing has been paying attention to this side, especially the intention signed by Zhang Cheng and others, the number of weeks next to him can't wait, and after repeated urging, he slowly walked to the booth, he did not sign directly, but looked at the things displayed at the booth.

"This gentleman, I have a detailed catalog here, you can take a look, by the way, I can also explain it to you!" A capable, Western-style young man said to Zhou Jing.

"Yes!"

The thick directory looks very comfortable, Zhou Jing opened it, I don't know what kind of paper it is made of, it feels thick and smooth, and it is actually illustrated and textual, I don't know how it was drawn.

This directory is also one of Yang Yuanzhao's killer features, when he came from later generations, he brought some pictorials and magazines, coated paper and photographic pictures, which were revealed by him with an all-in-one machine.

"This is!" Zhou Jing saw a somewhat weird-looking machine and asked.

"This is a large spinning machine, which is the same as the previous loom, and it is also a type 7!"

"Large spinning machines? There are also large spinning machines for sale? Zhou Jing was slightly surprised, looms sold this is the norm, after all, a loom is less than hundreds, more than thousands, calculated, the price is not too expensive, but the spinning machine is expensive, although the price of a single spindle is only 5-8 yuan, but the number of spindles of each spinning machine, as little as one or two hundred, more than hundreds, plus supporting steam engines and other accessories, the price of cheap American spinning machines is about 8,000 yuan, and the price of expensive British goods has even reached 10,000 yuan, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"How's it efficient?"

"The annual output of a single spindle is 2 packs, and the proficiency can reach 2.5 packs!"

"A 400-pound bag?" Zhou Jing continued to ask.

"That's right, a standard 400-pound bag!"

Zhou Jing was completely stunned at this moment, before, the efficiency of the loom, has made him amazed, can reach the British level twenty or thirty times, such an efficiency is enough to make people admire, but after all, the loom is only a small item, most of the cloth in China, is through the guò single operation to get, but the spinning machine, can be said to be the basis of the industry, the most important thing for the British is not grey cloth, but cotton yarn, cotton yarn exported to the world every year, almost occupies an important part of the British financial income, It is also the British who have worked tirelessly to improve, starting from the Jenny spinning machine, all the way to the large-scale hydro, steam spinning machine, British spinning technology, which has risen to a new level every year.

After a long period of development, the output of a single spindle of the British spinning machine has reached a limit, with an annual output of 0.5 bales of single spindle, which is a recognized difficulty in the world, and there are only a few countries that have broken through, among which Japan has the most, reaching close to one spindle, but at that time it was in a state of 24 hours without stopping, almost fighting with his life.

In fact, the British at that time, how not to walk this road, at the beginning of the industry, textile factory workers are definitely not a compliment, later generations of scholars to study a set of numbers can know that the average life expectancy of textile workers will not exceed 35 years old, most of them are in their thirties, because of overwork and various diseases and died, although it is only a group of relatively thin numbers, it can be seen that in the period of primitive accumulation of capital, the oppression of factory owners to workers.

Now Japan, after the Meiji Restoration, began to move towards an industrial society, but because of the late start, the national strength is poor, Japan only spends a lot of effort on light industry, due to the gap in technology and other aspects, they put more power on exploitation and oppression, Japan is the first textile industry 24 hours a day non-stop country, through guò pressing, most of the workers need to work for more than ten hours, so the result is that Japan has a lower level of technology, but the production capacity of a single spindle is the highest.

"Is it the number of days?"

"Yes, but my advice is that it is better to divide into three or four shifts a day, and our output is enough to support so many workers, so that workers can concentrate and will produce better products!" The young man kindly reminded Zhou Jing to be noncommittal, and asked the price directly, the young man looked at the catalog, and then said: "The total number of spindles of the 7-type spinning machine is 700, the price of the whole machine is 2100, plus the supporting steam engine, it is 3500!" ”

"3500, a single ingot is only 5 yuan, or is it the price of a steam engine?" Zhou Jing's heart was a little sudden, as if he was a little uncertain.

Originally, under the encouragement of Zhou Shu, he was just ready to test the water in the weaving industry, after all, the nearby is Zhang Jian's Dasheng Yarn Factory, with the relationship between their Zhou family and the Zhang family, it is no problem to get a batch of cotton yarn, but the loom with an average of 5 yuan per spindle, if it forms 20,000 spindles, it is only 100,000 yuan, 200,000 spindles, and it is only 1 million yuan. 1,000,000 is basically several times the cost of the other party.

Suddenly, Zhou Jing's heart moved and asked, "I don't know about this fund?" ”

"Spinning machines are different from looms, they must be in large quantities to produce results, our policy is more than 10,000 spindles, you can enjoy a down payment of 30, 2 years to pay off, 50,000 spindles, is a down payment of 25, 5 years to pay off!"

5 years to pay off, Zhou Jing's heart churned, he is very clear about Zhang Jian's development trajectory, investing millions of Dasheng, in the year after it was put into production, it produced benefits, among them, because of the raising of funds and waiting for production delayed part of the time, otherwise it is faster, in this way, it is not that the spinning machine of 200,000 spindles only needs to invest about 250,000, and the remaining 750,000 will take 5 years to pay off, and it will only be 150,000 a year. It is definitely a heavy burden, but for the Zhou family, which has a lot of money, it is simply a small and broad industry.

Just as he was about to sign the agreement, Zhou Jing suddenly thought of something and asked, "I don't know if I place an order now, when I can get the machine!" ”

"This?" The young man hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder how much you will buy?" ”

"How many do you have at the moment?"

"At present, there are about 1.2 million spindles!"

Zhou Jing took a breath of cold air and said categorically: "If I want it all, when will I be able to transport it to Zhejiang?" ”

"All of them!" The young man took a breath of cold air and asked in disbelief: "All 6 million!" ”

"Isn't the down payment only 1.5 million!"

"That's a lot!" Young people know that this is a big fish, so many orders before, adding up to only more than 1 million, or full payment, the down payment is only more than 300,000, now, a list, only the down payment is 1.2 million, such a huge number, he can't decide.

Zhou Jing is a very shrewd person, and he can see at a glance that this young man can't make a decision, and said calmly: "You can ask your manager!" ”

"Okay!" The young man walked away, and Zhou Shu next to him walked up to his uncle and asked, "Uncle, what, are you interested in this spinning machine!" ”

"Don't you only see the cloth, spinning is the biggest head!" Zhou Jing looked at Zhou Shu, and said with some hatred that iron is not steel, although he said that this time he came to Wuhan, it was Zhou Shu, and from a certain Cheng dù, Zhou Shu did a good job in this matter, but his reckless temper gave him a headache, and he couldn't help but teach him a lesson.

"Uncle, you really have to make such a big deal!"

"What do you think?" Zhou Jing sighed and said, as he didn't expect that he would make a small weaving layout, that is, a hundred or so looms, the British ones are only hundreds of thousands, and the northwest ones are cheaper, who knows, but they got such a big one, Zhang Jian Dasheng, the reason why he can have such a big reputation, is because he got more than 20,000 spindles from Wuhan, and other people have nowhere to buy them, small spinning machines, more than a dozen spindles, dozens of spindles, but up to 100 spindles, then don't think about it, you need to make a decision with the foreign bank, not to mention, The price is still flipping up.

The money has been earned by foreigners, and the difficulty of recovering the cost has increased significantly, which is also the source of the Zhou family's hesitation, now, the price is not expensive, plus steam engines and other supporting facilities, the whole is only 5 yuan per ingot, in a sense, it is simply too cheap, not to mention installment payment, the down payment is two and a half percent, where to find such a good thing.
