Chapter 1097: Monopoly

Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 inforeadx;? At that time, there was no concept of monopoly, but Gu Qingling really saw the huge profits brought by monopoly.

The closest monopoly to her is the forge in Zhenjun, which produces a large number of firecrackers every month, some of which are naturally sold to the military government, and then distributed by the military government to the armies, and the other part is sold to the people.

When the forge sells it to the outside world, the price can be ten taels of silver, or it can be one hundred taels, two hundred taels or even five hundred taels, and the forge can sell as much as it wants.

Why, there is no competition in the same industry, and in the entire wind country, only the Zhenjun Forge can achieve mass production of firearms.

Because there is no competition, there is no rival, the forge firmly controls the pricing power of the domestic firecracker, so as to earn huge profits, which is the benefit of monopoly.

Gu Qingling did not hesitate to use the cloth of Baifeng Cloth Village as bait, and united eleven cloth villages, not only to win the bet between her and Tang Ling, but also to control the pricing power of the future cloth industry.

After this rally, Baifeng Cloth Village and Yongkang Cloth Village, Shunxing Cloth Village and other eleven cloth villages reached a consensus, twelve cloth villages merged into one place, which did not cause much turmoil at that time, and then eleven cloth villages all changed the plaque, but caused an uproar, the head office and branches of the eleven cloth villages all replaced the plaques of Baifeng Cloth Village, look at it, often a street on the seven or eight as many as the cloth village, all hung with the signboard of Baifeng Cloth Village, the scene is spectacular and amazing,

In the next few days, Gu Qingling has been running around outside, the weaving factory of Baifeng Cloth Village is located in Yuzhen, and now that Yuzhen is lost, the weaving factory naturally falls into the hands of the rebels, Shangguan Xiuyou transferred another weaving factory under the forging workshop to Gu Qingling, but to complete the production of 500,000 sets of military uniforms within a month, it is still far from enough to rely on the cloth produced by this weaving factory.

Gu Qingling went to the official residence of the forge and negotiated with Qingyuan, hoping to buy another textile factory from the forge shop.

Her request made Qingyuan feel quite embarrassed, the forging workshop does not do cloth business, compared with the low-cost and high-profit firearm business, the profit of the cloth business is really insignificant, there are only two textile factories under the forging workshop, one is in Yuzhen, one is in Xijing, the textile factory in Yuzhen is built for Gu Qingling, and the textile factory in Xijing is a backup, and now Gu Qingling wants to have another textile factory, Qingyuan can't give it to her.

In the end, Jin Wan'er thought of a way to build a textile factory as quickly as possible.

Steam engine, the forging workshop has a lot of inventory, looms, inventory also has a lot, now what is lacking is the plant and workers, the plant is easy to solve, although it is definitely too late to build a textile mill temporarily, but there are many factories under the forging workshop, just pick out one, move the equipment in it, and transform it into a textile factory, it is not a difficult thing, the difficulty is difficult in the workers, the steam loom is not just anyone can use and operate, the workers need to go through at least one or two months of training, obviously, Gu Qingling does not have so much time now,

After Jin Wan'er finished speaking, Gu Qingling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "This is really a coincidence, I happen to have workers in my hands,"

"Oh," Kyungwon and Kim Wan'er looked at him in surprise,

Gu Qingling said: "I moved to Xijing, many workers from the Yuzhen Textile Factory have also come to Xijing one after another, and they want to continue to work for Baifeng Cloth Village.

When Jin Wan'er heard this, she stroked her palms and laughed, and praised: "Miss Gu is really a blessed general,"

"Your Excellency has won a prize,"

Jin Wan'er promised Gu Qingling that within three days, a brand-new textile factory would be delivered to her, and when the time came, she only needed to bring all the workers over.

After she left, Jin Wan'er felt funny when she thought about it, and said, "Miss Gu's luck is really good,"

"I'm afraid it's not good luck, but a good mind, and I know the truth of taking precautions," Qingyuan smiled indifferently and said: "Obviously, I already have workers in my hands, and what I lack most is plant and equipment, but she just didn't say it, and when we took the initiative to open our mouths and provide it to her, this is a businessman, even if you do favors, you have to make sure you don't lose money,"

Jin Wan'er burst out laughing and said, "It's the same as Mr. Qian,"

Qingyuan laughed on his back and said, "Qian Jin's face is much thicker than Miss Gu's, and he has never talked about human feelings to me,"

The efficiency of the forging workshop is definitely one of the best, it is said that it was delivered to the factory in three days, but in fact it only took two days, after Gu Qingling took over the factory, a large number of workers were stationed in it, and the two weaving factories located outside Xijing City started work day and night to make cloth.

While Gu Qingling was running back and forth between the two factories, he quickly distributed the cloth stored in his hand.

The cloth was first distributed to the hands of the three cloth villages, these three cloth villages all started with a dyeing workshop, the dyeing technology is skilled, and the cloth dyed in the three cloth houses was immediately distributed to the other six cloth villages, Gu Qingling sent them a cutting drawing for each cloth village, the parts of the six cloth villages are different, and they don't have to do anything else, just cut the cloth into the same shape according to the drawings in their hands.

The six cloth houses send the cloth that is cut every day to Yongkang Cloth Village and Shunxing Cloth Village, and these two cloth villages sew together the parts of the military uniform and sew it into a ready-to-wear garment.

The ready-to-wear garments were finally sent back to Baifeng Cloth Village, and the workers of Baifeng Cloth Village nailed buttons, added double layers of shoulders, elbows and knees, and other details.

Twelve cloth villages, divided into five parts, weaving, dyeing, cutting, stitching, and the final packaging, this is a complete set of assembly line processes, in the twelve cloth villages work together, the output of new military uniforms has risen in a straight line,

At the beginning of the work, everyone was still new, and they were a little unfamiliar, but with the continuation of time, the techniques of the twelve cloth houses became more and more proficient, such as the cloth village responsible for cutting, the workers did not need to use the drawings, even if they closed their eyes, they could cut out the exact same shape as the drawings, and there would be no slightest deviation.

Only half a month has passed, and the new military uniforms completed by Baifeng Buzhuang have reached 200,000 sets, and at this rate, it seems that it is not impossible to complete another 300,000 sets of military uniforms in the remaining half a month.

Cai Huang has been keeping a close eye on the progress of Baifeng Cloth Village, hearing that Baifeng Cloth Village has now completed 200,000 sets of military uniforms, Cai Huang was furious, and brought Qin An and Xue Lin two henchmen, and asked sharply: "Where is Thirteen now, what about Thirteen others?"

Qin An and Xue Lin glanced at each other, on weekdays, Thirteen is elusive, since taking Cai Huang's task, Thirteen seems to have evaporated from the world, and he can't find anyone who can't find him, Qin An and Xue Lin both lowered their heads, silent, and Cai Huang didn't plan to hear the answer he wanted from the mouths of the two of them,

"Ten days, I've already made it very clear, I only gave him ten days, how many days have passed now, half a month has passed, but Gu Qingling is still alive and well, and she is still bouncing outside every day, I'm really angry," Cai Huang grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground,

Xue Lin sighed secretly and said: "Childe is angry, Gu Fu has lost a drawing, this matter must have aroused Gu Qingling's vigilance, even if Thirteen's disguise technique is unpredictable, but if you want to kill Gu Qingling, it is still difficult, and you also need to find a suitable opportunity to start,"

"Wait for the right opportunity, wait for when, wait until Gu Qingling wins the bet, wait until Baifeng Buzhuang unites eleven cloth villages, and squeeze our Baofeng Buzhuang out of yellow," Cai Huang scolded angrily,

Qin An and Xue Lin stopped talking, and now they both saw that no matter what they said, they couldn't eliminate the anger in Gongzi's heart, it was better not to say anything, and wait for Gongzi to slowly extinguish the fire.

On this day, Gu Qingling reconciled accounts in the study, during this time, Gu Fu had a lot of accounts, just to purchase the cotton thread and silk thread needed for weaving, it cost a lot of silver, especially hateful, the newly appointed Minister of Finance Gan Ping is still urging donations, even if Baifeng Buzhuang has donated 10 million taels of silver, and now it has been pulled down to the throne of the first place, the Cai family is coming from behind, catching up, and has donated 12 million taels of silver, the Cai family's strong financial resources are now fully demonstrated,

When it was close to noon, a family member came in to report, and Qian Jin asked to see him.

Gu Qingling and Qian Jin were too familiar, and there was not so much politeness between them, so people invited him directly to the study.

After Qian came in, he first looked at the four little maids standing aside, sighed twice, and said with a smile: "Qingling's pomp is getting bigger and bigger now, and there are four maids around him all the time, and one is better than the other,"

Gu Qingling glanced at him, but still explained: "Ah Xiu asked Mr. Yan to send it over," mentioning Shangguan Xiu, Gu Qingling put down the account book in his hand, and his eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly,

Since the audition, Shangguan Xiu has never looked for her again, and she and Shangguan Xiu have never met again, she can't help but ask curiously: "Is Ah Xiu very busy now?"

Qian Jin hadn't seen Shangguan Xiu in the past few days, he rubbed his chin and thought about it, and said: "Maybe, it is said that the First Army is already preparing to march in the direction of Shangjing, if nothing else, the war against the rebels will break out soon, and Brother Xiu should be in the barracks during this time,"

"Oh," Gu Qingling responded casually, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, originally she was worried that Shangguan Xiu was deliberately avoiding her, but now it seems that even Qian Jin has not seen him these days.

Her expression was obviously much more relaxed, and she asked with a smile: "Ah Jin, why are you so free today and come to me?"

"I can't come to see you if I'm not free," Seeing Gu Qingling roll his eyes, Qian Jin said with a smile: "I'm here to give you a gift," As he spoke, he walked to the table, took out a large roll of paper from his cuff, and handed it to Gu Qingling,

The latter took it puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

"You open it and take a look,"

Gu Qingling unfolded the paper scroll and looked down, okay, this large roll of paper is a huge face value of silver tickets, the face value of the smallest one is 100,000 taels, the largest face value, there are 1 million taels, Gu Qingling quickly looked at it from beginning to end, with her sensitivity to numbers, she immediately calculated that it was a total of five million taels of silver,

She looked at Qian Jin in surprise and puzzlement, and asked, "Ah Jin, what are you doing here?"

"Now, on the donation list, the Cai family has surpassed the Gu family, ranking first with a donation of 12 million, we can't lose to his Cai family, these five million taels are what I used for you to donate," Qian Jin said with a smile,

"Donate another five million taels ......" If Gu Qingling is asked to take out another five million taels now, she will indeed be very difficult, but if she is asked to donate five million taels of silver from the four silver numbers, she is embarrassed to stretch out this hand.

She asked, "Ah Jin, does Ah Xiu know about this?"

"I applied to Brother Xiu to donate five million taels of silver in the name of Sitong Yinhao, and Brother Xiu also approved it, but I thought about it, Sitong Silver donated five million taels of silver, and even the top ten can't be squeezed out, rather than this, it is better not to join in this excitement and donate the five million taels through the Gu family, so that it can also help Qingling return to the first throne, the golden signboard, and the imperial merchant title, which is too tempting, and it will be of great help to Baifeng Buzhuang in the future,"
