As early as the arrival of the Limin Textile Mill machine, Qiao Yu instructed Bai Kuan to redecorate all the cloth shops of Qiao Bai and Bai, adding up to more than 20 shops, all over Yucheng and the surrounding counties, and there is also a shop in Chengdu, which is now ready, freshly painted, waiting for the newly woven foreign cloth.

The textile foreman is mainly familiar with the machine for a few days, the weaving speed is not fast, a week later, the basic speed has increased a lot, the first batch of cloth was transported to various stores, more than 20 shops began to sell the cloth of the Limin Textile Factory at the same time, the people have long known about the Limin Textile Factory, many people also went to the groundbreaking ceremony, and they also sighed at the spectacular scene at that time.

However, for the common people, the most practical is the quality and price of the cloth, other things are virtual, this is not the store as soon as the door opens, many people have used it, a dazzling cloth, suddenly a little dazzling, and then look at the price, a piece of cloth is actually cheaper than foreign cloth half to one percent.

Holding the cloth in my hand, I only feel that the light is firm and very comfortable.

"Second sister, look at how finely this cloth is woven, I'm afraid it's even better than those foreign cloths!"

"Well, the cloth is good, the price is better, I just want to make a coat for your brother-in-law, I don't think the foreign cloth is too expensive, so I didn't buy it, today I will buy some cloth woven by the people!"

"It's just right, I also pulled a flower dress for the family Niuniu, that child loves stinky beauty!"

The customers who entered the shop paid for the cloth, just like the contagion, and soon everyone joined the ranks of the rush to buy, the young man and the shopkeeper kept tearing the cloth, planning to plate, cashier, very busy, not to noon most of the store actually sold out the cloth.

When Qiao Yu received the news, he was also surprised, he didn't expect it to sell so well, and hurriedly ordered to continue to deliver to the cloth shop, Bai Kuan was also surprised, he didn't expect it to be so popular, on the one hand, he stepped up the delivery to the cloth shop, and on the other hand, he also urged the factory to speed up production.

The shopkeepers of the cloth shop are also excited, although they are tired, but Qiao Yu has promised three times the salary, no matter how tired it is, it is worth it, now there is no human rights problem at this time, everyone is full of energy, and soon the income of the first day will be in front of Qiao Yu and Bai Kuan.

"Shunqing, I made a net profit of three thousand taels of silver in one day, if the second phase of the project is completed, and there are six or seven hundred more machines, we can't get more than ten thousand taels a day, and we can return to the cost in half a year!"

"Uncle, I advise you not to be too happy, this is only the first day, everyone will take the initiative to buy so many in the novelty, in a few days, as soon as the freshness passes, it will be good to have a thousand taels!"

"One thousand taels is not a lot, it is 300,000 taels a year, and I will soon be able to get the capital back, so I will wait to count the money!"

Qiao Yu smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to rest, let's be a hit, those businessmen should take the initiative to join our investment company in the next step, then it will not be a factory business, you will always have to take care of more things!" ”

Qiao Yu didn't expect the sales to be so hot, originally he also planned to use some marketing measures such as discounts, but considering that the production capacity at this stage is still very weak, he didn't get it, and fortunately he didn't get it, otherwise those cloths were afraid that the threshold of the cloth shop would be broken!

Also surprised are the major businessmen in Yucheng, especially those who were invited by Qiao Yu, they have begun to gather silver, ready to invest in the company, and now see that Limin Textile Factory is going to make money, they are even more eager, and they have put some unimportant industries out, ready to take Qiao Yu's bus, and gain profits in the development of industry.

The popularity of sales has lasted for five or six days, that is, after this enthusiasm has passed, the sales of cloth are also a lot more than the original, some people are happy and some people are worried, when the cloth of Huang Million and Limin Textile Factory is sold, he is ready to reduce the price, otherwise he can only watch his market share being taken up by others, but he is a person with foreign masters, and the cost of foreign merchants is actually lower than Qiao Yu, but the distance is too far, plus freight or something, there is no price advantage, In particular, Qiaoyu factory adopts advanced management system, production efficiency is very high, and the products are exquisite, and they are not afraid of price wars with foreigners.

Huang Million thought about losing money and making money, and lowered the price to the same level as Qiao's cloth shop, and after selling it at a loss, there were not many customers, this era still advocated domestic products, with similar quality domestic products, the common people out of disgust with foreigners, but also abandoned Huang Million who lived by eating foreign food.

The cloth shop of the Huang family entered the harsh winter in an instant, and the old things have been mixed in the market for decades, and there are still a lot of ideas, with the support of the governor and the prefect, I can't afford to offend you, but there are also people who the governor can't afford to offend, and they secretly made up their minds.

According to the agreement between Qiao Yu and the businessmen, everyone gathered at Bai Kuan's house again, and Wang Dongcheng and the others were like Qiao Yu congratulating each other when they met.

"Boss Qiao's Limin Textile Factory was an instant hit, and now the cloth is selling well, we are really hot to watch!"

"Boss Wang, what are your eyes hot, aren't you a shareholder? I'm afraid dividends are indispensable. Yang Xuecheng, the owner of the Hengchang pawnshop on the side, said with a smile, in fact, he also has two percent of the shares in his hand, and he is also happy when he sees the cloth selling hotly, but the big head obviously still falls into the hands of the Qiao and Bai families, and even Wang Dongcheng takes much more than him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the textile factory is just the beginning, I still have a bigger deal to do, let's discuss the matter of investing in the company!"

After everyone was seated, Qiao Yu took out a few copies of the company's articles of association and handed them to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a charter I drafted, the company is named Sichuan Investment Company, the main is to invest in industry, promote industrial development, help Sichuan interested in industrial investors, the company will choose to focus on investing in a few projects, we will distribute dividends according to the proportion of capital contribution, I plan to invest two million taels of capital, of which my uncle and I invested 500,000 taels, and the rest depends on everyone."

One and a half million taels is really not a small amount, enough to build a few relatively large factories in China, but these dozen businessmen are all wealthy people, and each of them contributes about 100,000 taels, like Wang Gui, Wang Dongcheng, and even Xue Shan of Silk Village are worth more than one million, and investing in these is obviously not enjoyable.

"Boss Qiao, I see that your pen is still small, more than one million taels of silver looks like a lot, but it is about 100,000 taels to each family's head, your Qiao family and the Bai family have invested millions of taels, and we also want to have a good time! Can't stop everyone's enthusiasm! ”

Qiao Yu smiled slightly: "Boss Wang, don't be busy, listen to my explanation, we are now investing in light industry, the investment is not too big, and the return on capital is fast, once the atmosphere opens, other businessmen will soon join it, a company has limited operating capacity, can only focus on a few projects, then we can't watch the money being made by others, so we can invest in the industry alone, if you feel that the funds are insufficient, you can cooperate with the investment company, or borrow, or merge shares, if you don't understand the operation, You can also hire a company to consult with you, let the company assist you to build a factory, in short, now we want to start as strong, we want to develop the industry of Yucheng as soon as possible, you can imagine if the entire southwest uses our goods, how much profit it should be! ”

As soon as Qiao Yu said this, everyone's eyes lit up, and at the same time they began to think about Qiao Yu's suggestion, Sichuan Investment Company is not to monopolize all the capital, but only to play the role of a leader, Qiao Yu's meaning is very clear, the company's business is divided into three levels, the first is direct investment, the second is to join hands with other businessmen, the third is to provide some consulting and help, and the rest depends on the businessmen themselves.

In fact, this is completely aimed at different psychology, some people are timid, then rely on the investment company to make a profit, some people have less capital, then they join forces with the company, some people have both capital and courage, then you can hire the company to give you guidance, this proposal quickly won everyone's approval.

After a whole night of discussions, the Sichuan Investment Company was formally established, with a total capital of 2.3 million taels, a total of 17 shareholders, Qiao Bai and 2 families totaling 500,000 taels, Wang Dongcheng contributed 400,000 taels, followed by 30,000 taels, the least of which was 30,000 taels, but no matter how much, a new alliance of interests was formed, perhaps the people in the alliance did not realize how much influence they had, and the future of Sichuan, even China, and even the world will be affected by this force.

After a few busy days, the company's preliminary straightening out, the next step is to continue to enclose the land, ready to build a factory, Qiao Yu around the available people are not many, can help Tang Yisheng and Zhao Baoxuan two foreign students, Qiao Yu had to let those businessmen each select some shrewd people, handed over to their own unified training, to explain to them about the factory, these businessmen are even more ecstatic when they hear it, this is a business experience, if you can learn Qiao Yu's skills, it would be great, so it is very enthusiastic, I can't wait to put the most confidant, The most powerful cadre was sent to Qiao Yu.
