Chapter Seventy-Five: The Wind and the Clouds (3)
Li Ye is not worried about the question of whether Wei Hong is an all-rounder, Li Ye is worried about Li Xiehe's words in the first half: "The owner, if it continues to develop like this, the garment industry in the entire Hangzhou City will be monopolized by us." At best, the tailors survive in the cracks, and to put it mildly, they are surviving. Now more than sixty percent of the tailor shops in Hangzhou are from our Hongyuan business to the grey cloth, if we cut off the supply, wouldn't it be a dead end for those tailor shops? When the time comes, those tailor shops will make a fuss, and it won't be good for the reputation to spread. ”
Li Xiehe has always taken one step at a time to see three steps, and Li Xiehe has already thought of the problem of the tailor shop: "The model of the garment industry has changed, and we can only let them accommodate us, not let us accommodate them." Now they have only two ways to go, either give up the meat of the garment industry, or attach themselves to Hongyuan Commercial Bank. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Ever since the advent of the sewing machine, it has heralded the decline of the craft of handmade garments. Only three of the tailor shops in the city are ancestral time-honored shops, and they will not even take sewing machines to their attention because of their superb handicraft skills, so these three do not need to be taken to heart at all. As for the rest of the tailors' shops, they are all wild solitary Zens who have become monks halfway, and they are just trying to make ends meet. The role of the sewing machine is not only to make clothes, but also to have a very large profit value. We now produce sewing machines in large quantities, not only for our own use, but also to sell them to other tailors in the city, at least so that they can reduce the manual cost of making clothes, and have equal opportunities to compete with us. ”
Listening to Li Xiehe's words, Li Ye frowned and said thoughtfully: "If you sell the sewing machine, there are two problems worth worrying about. The first is the secret surname of the sewing machine, if others learn the manufacturing method of the sewing machine, the harm to us is fatal. Second, if all those tailors had sewing machines, wouldn't they be on an equal footing with us? Won't the competitive advantage we have so hard won go down the drain? ”
Li Xiehe smiled slightly, without the slightest worry: "There is no need to worry about keeping the surname secret, don't say that ordinary people, even those skilled craftsmen we invited, when they first made it, weren't they all said by Wei Hong to be a pile of waste?" Even the most famous craftsmen in Hangzhou are still like this, not to mention others. Moreover, in order to keep the surname secret, naturally the sewing machine will not be simply sold, so that Wei Hong can do some tricks and feet on the sewing machine, so that the sewing machine cannot be disassembled, as long as it is disassembled, it will be destroyed, so that there is no need to worry about being learned by others. As for the competitive advantage, don't even pay attention to it. Even if other tailor shops have sewing machines, the market pattern has not changed because of this, and it is still these tailor shops that earn meager profits, while our Hongyuan Commercial Bank obtains most of the benefits. This is determined by the scale of development, and we are the largest overlord of the garment industry in Hangzhou, so we are the leader, and all the tailors have to listen to us. ”
"Boss, you are wise!" The worries in Li Ye's heart were dissolved, and he followed the appearance of Wei Hong in Pingyue, and gave Li Xiehe a thumbs up.
"Remember, no matter how much trouble the tailors make, grey cloth cannot be supplied to them. We now not only have to supply Hangzhou's garment industry, but also Jinling, we would rather leave the grey cloth in the warehouse to be moldy, and we can't not have enough when we need it! Li Xiehe repeatedly instructed that this was the only opportunity for Hongyuan Commercial Bank to open the Jinling market, and there should be no mistakes.
"It's the owner! I'll do it! ”
At night, a raging fire broke out in the factory building in Gejia Village, not because of a plot or an accident, but because Wei Hong deliberately lit a flame in order to drive away mosquitoes. Wei Hong was in a hurry when he came, and forgot to bring some herbaceous plants from home to repel mosquitoes, as long as he lay down, a large number of mosquitoes were like bombers, and they launched a devastating blow to Wei Hong. Wei Hong wanted to lie down next to the bonfire and sleep for a night, but the weather was already hot, and the flames heated up, making Wei Hong sweat and sleepy.
Zhou Dali sat next to Wei Hong, constantly poking the coals with a stick, turning his head from time to time to look at the busy embroidery girl in the shed behind him, and complained: "When we met the mountain bandits, we all turned the danger into a disaster, but I never thought that today we were forced to be helpless by this little mosquito." ”
Wei Hong empathized: "In fact, human beings are the most fragile creatures in nature, and to put it mildly, any living being, including human beings, is the natural enemy of human beings. It is precisely because of the fragility of human beings that human beings have wisdom beyond all living beings. Nature is fair to any living being. ”
Zhou Dali shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't understand: "Are human beings fragile?" Not vulnerable! Before I came, I heard that there was a young man named Ni Er in our city, and he and his brother hunted a 200-pound wild boar in the mountains. The fact that the big boar, which even a tiger can't contain, has been cleaned up by others, which is enough to show that man is stronger than other creatures. ”
Wei Hong chuckled: "Depending on the situation, in theory, human beings are the masters of the world. But on another level, human beings are the smallest. Let me give you an analogy, which is better than a man or a dog? ”
Zhou Dali said without hesitation: "People! No matter how powerful a dog is, it is still a dog after all, and it will be put down with a stick. ”
Wei Hong smiled: "Is that dog afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes?" ”
"This ......" Zhou Dali was speechless.
"Not only are dogs not afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes, but there are very few creatures other than humans who are afraid of mosquitoes. So, in a way, human beings are the most vulnerable. ”
Zhou Dali nodded thoughtfully: "Hearing you say this, it seems like this......"
Just when Wei Hong and Zhou Dali were discussing the topic of whether human beings are fragile or not, Li Ruohua suddenly appeared beside Wei Hong, and he did not shy away from Zhou Dali beside him, pulling his skirt and sitting down.
Zhou Dali stood up very familiarly, patted his ass and left. It's not that I'm afraid of being a light bulb for Wei Hong, but that the identities of Zhou Dali and Li Ruohua are very different, and they can't be equals.
