Chapter 122: The Silk Business
The time has entered April, the domestic chaos is still in full swing, Guo Yu is in full swing, the silk textile factory has been established, the silk alliance in Suzhou has been established, 65 silk merchants have joined the alliance, the alliance will be unified in the future, unified pricing sales, so as to enhance the ability of Suzhou silk industry to resist the wind and waves.
"Lord Guo, you're here, please come inside." Guo Yu stepped out of the car and was greeted by a group of silk merchants at the gate of the newly built factory. "Wanxiu Textile Factory, who came up with this name, it's good." Guo Yu looked at the plaque with the name of the factory hanging at the gate of the factory and said.
A group of businessmen smiled, and Wang Zhaoxiang took the lead and said, "This is what we decided after a few days of discussion, Wan Xiu's Wan represents all our Suzhou silk merchants, and Xiu is what we want to produce the best silk." ”
Wang Zhaoxiang led Guo Yu and his entourage into the spinning workshop, the workshop was hot and humid, the machine was roaring, Wang Zhaoxiang said loudly to Guo Yu on the side: "My lord, this is the silk reeling workshop, there are 10 sets of large-scale silk reeling machines, with an annual output of 3,000 tons of raw silk, this number is more than the original output of Jiangsu Province, but now the workers are not very familiar with the machine, and they can not reach the rated production capacity, we will seize the time to make the workers familiar with it and increase the output." Wang Zhaoxiang still showed a look of disbelief when he said this number.
The workshop is very uncomfortable, because the silk reeling needs hot water, which makes the steam overflow in the workshop, but Wang Zhaoxiang said that this is much more comfortable than the old craft of the silk reeling workshop. Guo Yu and others were wearing suits, and they were sweating profusely after a while, but Guo Yu still watched carefully as these female workers pulled out the cocoons one by one and sent them to the silk drawing machine, these cocoons kept rolling in the water, and they would not be able to turn into a small handful of white and smooth raw silk, each cocoon could extract about 1000 meters of cocoon silk, and several cocoon silks would merge into raw silk.
Guo Yu has calculated that if this factory is fully operational, the annual output can reach 3,000 tons of raw silk. And what kind of concept is this, in the early years of the Republic of China, the country's raw silk output was about 12,000 tons, mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangzhou. Japan has surpassed the Republic of China to become the world's largest producer and exporter of raw silk, about 13,500 tons, which is not a shortage of raw materials in the Republic of China, and many raw materials have been directly purchased by Japan. The main reason is that the production technology is too backward, most of them still use old-fashioned wooden silk reeling spinning machines, and at this time Japan is carrying out the so-called industrial revolution, all using British advanced iron looms, and the natural speed is much faster.
And the scale of 10 sets of large-scale silk reeling machines, in modern time and space is only a medium-sized factory in China, the annual output of raw silk in a county in Guangxi in later generations can reach 50,000 tons of raw silk, and the national reach of 200,000 tons, this is still because of the sales affected the production of reasons, and in the later generations of Jiangnan cocoon breeding families have been very few, mainly in the scale of farms to do.
More than a dozen people out of the silk reeling workshop, and came to the weaving workshop, weaving can be divided into raw weaving and cooked weaving two categories, raw weaving, that is, the warp and weft silk is not dyed first into fabric, called grey silk, and then the grey silk is dyed into finished products. This production method has low cost and short process, and is the main method used in silk weaving production at present. Mature weaving means that the warp and weft yarn is dyed before weaving, and the grey silk after weaving does not need to be dyed to become a finished product. This method is mostly used in the production of high-grade silk fabrics, such as brocade, taffetta, etc.
There are also printing and dyeing equipment in the factory acquired by Guo Yu, and these raw white grey silk will be sent to the printing and dyeing factory to print various colors, and because of the advanced equipment, the printed colors are very gorgeous, far exceeding the current silk printing colors.
Only this one factory has been able to reach nearly a quarter of Japan's production capacity, and the silk produced is of good quality, with a wide variety of colors and novels, and it will definitely be able to seize the Japanese silk market.
Of course, this is just Guo Yu's own remarks there, not to mention that the current international situation is not conducive to the Republic of China, even the silk resources he has mastered do not pose a threat to the Japanese silk economy for the time being.
Out of the workshop a few people came to the office, Wang Zhaoxiang invited Guo Yu to take a seat, and everyone sat down and chatted: "Lord Zhenshou, these machines you got are really powerful, much faster than the most advanced British iron loom production speed now, really as you said at the beginning, there are dozens of times, it's amazing, there is such a good silk loom in the world, I don't know where the adults bought it?" Wang Zhaoxiang asked.
Guo Yu took a sip of tea, "It's inconvenient to disclose this, you just need to do a good job of production." ”
Wang Zhaoxiang reacted that he was too talkative, and hurriedly said: "Naturally, we must take care of the production of the factory and strive to achieve the production volume required by adults as soon as possible." ”
"President Wang, let's talk about the division of shares, you didn't believe in the ability of these machines, but now they have been put into production, you have seen the production speed with your own eyes, can you price the machines?" Guo Yu said.
"My lord, a few of us have discussed it preliminarily, you see if it is appropriate, Brother Zhaoming, you can tell Lord Guo." Wang Zhaoxiang said to a shareholder in his fifties, this person's name is Lu Zhaoming, the owner of Taixing Silk Village, and he is also one of the few big silk merchants in Suzhou, this person is good at management, and has the most experience in settling accounts, so he was appointed as the chief accountant of Wanxiu Textile Factory.
Lu Zhaoming took out a piece of rice paper from his pocket, shook off the rice paper and said: "My lord, shareholders, this is the proportion of shares divided by calculating your investment, the total share capital of the factory is 2 million oceans, Guo Yu is the largest shareholder of Wanxiu Factory because of the equipment and production technology, President Wang Zhaoxiang contributed 100,000 yuan, accounting for 5% of the shares, I Lu Zhaoming invested 80,000 yuan, accounting for 4% of the share capital, and the rest of the 31 shareholders, accounting for 3% to 0.4% of the shares. ”
After listening to Lu Zhaoming's reading, Wang Zhaoxiang stood up and said, "Shareholders, you can have objections to such a share capital split, what about you, Mr. Guo, do you think the sharing is feasible?" ”
Shareholders are all in favor of such a share share, but some are now very upset because they feel that they have invested less in the first place.
"Brother Qilian, the younger brother regrets it very much now, how did I know that Lord Guo's machine was so powerful, a factory can be worth our raw silk production in Jiangsu Province, this business is definitely profitable, why did you say I was so careful in the first place."
"Boren, I also regret it, I should have followed President Wang's advice and bought a few more shares, according to the current production rate, I estimate that I will be able to return to the cost in one year, and I will be able to turn over in two years."
"Who said it wasn't, I took out some surplus money to buy shares, even if it didn't fall into the face of Lord Guo, how do you know that it is a big profitable deal, Lord Guo took care of us Suzhou silk merchants at this time, if not, he can build a factory by himself, and the profits are not taken by Lord Guo himself, but then the life of our little silk merchants will be even more difficult."
"Lord Guo deserves the name of a good person, we have the heart of a villain, and I will definitely obey the words of adults in the future."
The shareholders said one after another, but no one really stood up to express their opinions, just whispered in private, and Guo Yu did speak: "Is there too much of the shares calculated for me, I alone account for more than sixty percent, and the remaining thirty or so people only account for less than forty percent, which is not good." ”
After listening to Guo Yu's words, Wang Zhaoxiang was the first to say: "My lord, these machines of yours are definitely worth this price, so we are still stained with your light, the annual output of this child is more than ten times the total output of Suzhou Province, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary machines." ”
"Yes, my lord, we have to thank you for taking care of you."
"We are already ashamed of our kindness and righteousness." Shareholders have said.
Guo Yu himself knows that these machines are all modern space-time elimination machines, all of which were purchased at the price of cabbage, and these sets of equipment are estimated to be several million, and they will be directly profitable when converted into oceans, and these machines indirectly control the entire silk industry in Suzhou, and attract a large number of silk merchants, and these are what Guo Yu values the most.
Guo Yu decided to build a few more such silk weaving factories after returning to modern times, so as to reach Japan's total annual output and defeat them. Making money is not the goal, making money is the fundamental, economic warfare is also a kind of war, although it is silent, but it is extremely tragic.
"Do you have any ideas for selling your products?" Guo Yu asked.
Everyone quieted down and watched how Wang Zhaoxiang answered. "My lord, in the past, we each had our own sales, and now after integration, we are ready to put Wanxiu Textile Factory and each of their own production of silk together for sale, and these sales channels should also be integrated, each has reported the information of the sales channel, this is responsible for the sales manager Wan Zhongda, Zhong Da, you come to introduce it to Lord Guo."
Wan Zhongda stood up and said, "My lord, sales are mainly exported abroad, now the largest user of silk is the United States, now it has accounted for 60% of the world's silk imports, and then there are Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia, North Korea and Japan, our statistical sales channels, Southeast Asia and North Korea, Japan mostly, after all, these places are much closer, and have been trading for many years, and the United States has nothing to do with these people, for the time being, can not be sold in the past, now the market in the United States is mainly occupied by the Japanese." Now the production speed is much faster, and our original sales channel estimates that there is no way to eat so many goods for a while, for fear that it will cause a backlog of products at that time. ”
Guo Yu touched his chin and said: "I have a trading company in the United States, I will go back and contact them, and strive to open up the channels of silk sales. ”
Guo Yu is ready to let them grab the silk market in the United States, and his trading company is now doing well, because the relationship between silk stockings and many textile companies or trading companies has established relationships, and it should be much more convenient to run a silk business.
