Chapter 209: Xiuxiu Buzhuang
After Chen Fei joined the army for about half a month, he suddenly got an invitation. This invitation is to invite Chen Fei to attend the opening ceremony of a cloth village called Xiuxiu Buzhuang. According to Chen Fei's inquiry, there are not a few officials who have received the invitation to open this cloth village. And many people have heard openly and secretly that this cloth village is a cloth village directly opened by the Cui Shi family, so everyone is also very happy to participate in the opening of this cloth village. After all, the Cui family is directly related, and the resources at their disposal can be said to be very huge, and no one can ignore it. Especially in the base camp of this clan, it can't be taken lightly! Although they are very disdainful of businessmen, can't they let people play with tickets? If someone in the Cui family wants to do business and have fun, then everyone will give some face.
"Everyone, the price of each piece of cloth in our Xiuxiu cloth is only half of that of other cloth villages, please come and buy it quickly!"
The employees of the cloth village not only shouted, but also obviously wanted to greet the guests.
"Chen joins the army, our Miss Cui invites you to go to the box next to you and sit down!" Someone immediately said.
When Chen Fei heard this, he immediately knew that it was Cui Xiuxiu, so he took the initiative to go over. This Cui Xiuxiu is really powerful, and in less than half a month, he actually made a cloth village, and it started business. Originally, Chen Fei thought that it would not work without two months, but Chen Fei still underestimated the ability of the scholars, and was able to make the cloth village open so quickly. And the shuttle and Xiuxiu machine are fundamentally a conceptual problem, and they don't need to be very advanced technology, so it is very easy to transform, which allows them to quickly get production.
"Miss Xiuxiu, your cloth village has opened, why don't you take care of it yourself?" Chen Fei asked.
Cui Xiuxiu smiled and said, "If I come forward in person, isn't it the lice in the monk's brain—is it obvious?" So it's better to be vague about this matter, and I won't take care of it myself. Anyway, this kind of thing can be managed by someone next to the Cui family, so don't worry about anything. And with you, the shuttle and the show machine. The production cost of a piece of cloth has been reduced by about seventy percent! Now we sell it at the same price as other cloth dealers, and it is almost double the profit. And this kind of cloth also relies on small profits and quick turnover, so almost doubling the profit is already considered a huge profit. Let's just get this cloth village in the future, and it won't be long before we can accumulate a lot of wealth and buy a lot of side clansmen of the Cui family. ”
Of course, Cui Xiuxiu knows what this cloth village means, and it won't be long before this cloth village will be able to expand production, and even squeeze out the market of other cloth villages. The cloth produced by this kind of shuttle is of good quality and quantity, which is not at all comparable to other cloth villages. Therefore, their market will be gradually squeezed, and Cui Xiuxiu can completely rely on the production of these fabrics at that time. And then instead supply to those so-called competitors, so that they are stuck in their throats from the source. But they had to do this, because the cloth produced by Cui Xiuxiu was of good quality, large quantity and low price, how could they be competitors? Coupled with the background of the Cui family, those ordinary businessmen could not compete with the Cui family at all, which also caused them to be unable to compete with Cui Xiuxiu's cloth village.
"But this will bring a lot of peasant weavers to weave cloth for nothing, and now they are all squeezed out! I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Cui Xiuxiu said.
Cui Xiuxiu is relatively benevolent, she can understand the situation of those weaver girls. But Chen Fei didn't want to destroy other people's economic models like this, but he wanted to change the social and economic model. That's bound to be a lot of pain. Chen Fei could only reduce this pain as much as possible, but it was impossible to avoid it. As an official, as a politician, there must be trade-offs. Chen Fei believes that society is progressive. More important than the lives of these weaver girls. As long as the society can progress, then the life they can enjoy will be better and better, Chen Fei can only sacrifice their generation, and then let the whole society progress. If you are afraid of temporary pain, you will give up the idea of social progress. That would not be a qualified politician. A politician should be merciful when he changes his heart, ruthless when he should be ruthless, and black when he should be black. Chen Fei must be ruthless now. Otherwise, it really won't be possible to make society progress.
"Such cheap cloth? Hurry up and buy it! That's less than half of what other places are, and it's really cheap. And the quality is good, of course I have to buy it! "Yes! Such a good cloth, and the price is less than half of other cloth dealers, so how can we miss it? ”……
Many people have crowded this Xiuxiu cloth village in the past, and at the same time, the cloth village in the entire Beizhou has also fallen into a situation where it cannot be sold. Originally, their cloth was still very good, but compared to these fabrics produced with shuttles and Xiuxiu machines, it was simply backward. The quality of their cloth cannot be compared with Cui Xiuxiu's cloth village at all, and the price is even more ridiculously expensive. And they don't know how Cui Xiuxiu reduces costs, but they are helpless against Cui Xiuxiu. After all, now the customers are running to Cui Xiuxiu.
"Boss, do you still collect the cloth?" A man who looked like a peasant woman said.
"If you don't collect it, you can't sell these rags now, how can I still have money to buy it?" The owner of the cloth shop said.
And a series of reactions, in the end, were reflected in the ordinary peasant households, whose peasant women worked hard to weave the cloth, no cloth village was willing to buy, and they were considered to have one less source of income. At the same time, Cui Xiuxiu's cloth village was also expanding rapidly, recruiting many peasant women who had lost their source of income to work in the textile workshop. However, these are still a drop in the bucket compared to the large number of peasant women who have lost their financial resources, and many more peasant women will suffer this pain and will not be able to obtain a source of income in a short period of time.
"Chen joined the army, now ordinary farmers' cloth can't be sold to cloth merchants, you see ...... now," Cui Xiuxiu asked.
"Don't say it, I'm afraid that after you say it, I won't be able to stand it." Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei found that he was still a little soft-hearted, after all, the income of these peasant women was cut off by himself, and this was the beginning of social change. There will be more and more changes in the whole society in the future, where can Chen Fei manage it. What Chen Fei can do is to influence the country as soon as possible, and then implement a strategy of expansion, so that more people can be employed by expanding the market. (To be continued......)
