Speaking of this, Zhao Mei picked up the teacup and took a sip of water before continuing: "In the seven northern states, our family's cloth village has opened all over the five states, but Yuzhou and Ningzhou, the two largest mulberry-producing states, our family can't get involved at all. ”

"Why?"

Jiang Xia asked inexplicably.

In her mind, it's just a business, as long as she has money, where can't she open a cloth village?

"If you want to make the cloth village bigger, you must take the high-end route, and silk is a project that must be operated."

Speaking of this, Zhao Mei showed a trace of fatigue: "But the sericulture bases in Yuzhou and Ningzhou have long been carved up, the competition is extremely fierce, and there is no strong enough connections, so it is difficult to get in and get a piece of the pie." ”

Jiang Xia flashed a pair of bright big eyes, and asked puzzledly, "I see that there is no silk sold in our cloth village?" ”

"You stupid boy, say you're smart, you're so smart, call you stupid, you're really stupid sometimes."

Zhao Mei said with a wry smile: "The silk sold by our cloth village is bought from suppliers, and then added some money to sell it to the outside world to earn some price difference. ”

"This way of doing business will be stuck by suppliers at any time, once they raise prices, do you want it or not?"

"Let's go, let's also follow the price increase for takeaways, in case we can't sell it, then there will be a backlog of inventory, and if it's serious, it will even break our capital chain and lead to bankruptcy, even if we can sell it, the profits will be pushed to a minimum, and we won't make any money at all."

"Don't, you may offend long-term cooperative suppliers, and you will never supply us again, and you can't buy silk if you want to......"

Zhao Mei broke it open and crumpled it, patiently explaining the stakes to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia showed a thoughtful expression: "Therefore, if our family wants to operate silk, we must establish a cooperative relationship with raw material suppliers, avoid those second-tier and third-tier dealers, and prevent them from making the difference in price, so as to obtain the greatest profit." ”

"Yes, that's what it means."

Zhao Mei nodded with satisfaction.

My own baby girl is Bing Xue smart, and she understands the truth as soon as she says it.

"What does that have to do with this kind of labor cloth?"

Jiang Xia still didn't understand the key to it, and persevered in asking.

"The reason is simple."

Liu Guixiang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected: "If your mother wants to enter Yuzhou and Ningzhou and establish a direct relationship with the sericulture base, she must use the power of official connections to help lead the needle in order to get a piece of the pie." ”

Zhao Mei nodded, looking at her daughter's gaze slightly dodgy: "The relationship I am looking for is Zuozhou Cheng of Yanzhou, two years ago, you met it once, do you remember?" ”

Jiang Xia recalled for a long time before he remembered: "Is it the imposing-looking uncle (baibaibai) you met when you took me to Yanzhou to play during the summer vacation after my high school entrance examination?" ”

"Well, yes, that's him."

A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Mei's mouth.

Although the old lady had already said that no one was allowed to interfere in Jiang Xia's marriage, she chose her future husband according to her own preferences.

But she didn't interfere directly, it was Suzhou Cheng's favorite son who fell in love with her daughter at a glance, and also proposed to marry her.

She didn't say yes at the time, but politely refused on the grounds that she couldn't sit down.

But he didn't say death, he just said that as long as her daughter likes it, she, a mother, will never object.

The implication is that as long as your son has the ability to make my daughter like it, she will fully support it.

It didn't take long for her to hear that Suzhou Cheng's son had transferred to Qinghe County No. 2 Middle School and became classmates with her daughter.

To be honest, she was very happy, the dignified young master of the Su family was willing to transfer to an ordinary high school for the sake of his daughter, which greatly satisfied her vanity.

Now that two years have passed, I don't know how far the young master of the Su family and his daughter have progressed.

For this family business, she is naturally willing in her heart.

The young master of the Su family was born in a family of eunuchs, he is handsome and chic, and he is a martial arts genius with an unlimited future.

If she can become in-laws with the Su family, it will also be of great help to her business, and she is naturally happy to see it.

"Isn't he the governor of Yanzhou? How can you still manage the affairs of Yuzhou and Ningzhou? ”

After all, Jiang Xia is a little girl who has not left school, and she is still puzzled where she will understand the things in the officialdom.

Zhao Mei said funny: "You are still young, you don't understand the things in the officialdom, your Uncle Su is the Zuozhou Cheng of Yanzhou, it is very likely that he will go one step further and become the state pastor of Yanzhou, you said that the future state pastor of Yizhou opened his mouth to say hello, will the officials of Yuzhou and Ningzhou not give face?" ”

Only then did Jiang Xia come to his senses, and he was secretly shocked that Uncle Su was such a big official.

"It is precisely because of your Uncle Su who helped to say hello that Director Wu of the Yanzhou Criminal Prison Department gave us the green light, which has given us a lot of convenience in the past two years and made our cloth village earn a lot of money."

Zhao Mei said meaningfully.

She wants to instill in her daughter the idea of enjoying the shade under the big tree, so that she can understand how strong the family background of the young master of the Su family is, and that is her best destination.

It's a pity that Jiang Xia didn't know that Su Menglong was the son of Suzhou Cheng at all.

Even if she knows, with her indifferent and quiet nature, she will not accept someone she doesn't like because of her family background.

On the contrary, after Zhao Mei mentioned the Criminal Prison Division, she was surprised in her heart: "Isn't the Criminal Prison Department in charge?" What does it have to do with running a cloth village? ”

Before Zhao Mei could answer, the old lady began to interject and explain: "It is true that the Criminal Prison Department is in charge of the Criminal Prison, but in fact, it is also the largest weaver and garment manufacturer. ”

Seeing that Jiang Xia still didn't understand, the old lady said earnestly: "Do you think, whether it is weaving or making ready-to-wear, does it require a lot of labor." ”

Jiang Xia nodded, vaguely understanding something: "What does Grandma mean, the prisoners in the prison?" ”

"Not bad."

Zhao Mei glanced at her appreciatively: "The prisoners in the prison need labor reform, and many prisons have purchased advanced textile machinery to let the prisoners weave cloth and make clothes every day, which not only allows the prisoners to participate in labor reform, but also creates profits for the country, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." ”

"So, you use this relationship with the prison department to get the lowest-cost cloth and ready-to-wear garments."

Jiang Xia completely understood the key and suddenly realized.

Zhao Mei sighed: "But the benefits are always mutual, and while our family enjoys low-cost fabrics, sometimes we have to pay a certain price." ”

"For example, this terrazzo cloth is produced by the latest machine introduced by the largest Black Mountain Prison in Yanzhou."

"Because of the high wear resistance and advanced craftsmanship of this fabric, everyone thinks that it will sell well after it is put on the market."

"But I didn't expect it, but because the fabric has poor air permeability and is not easy to dye, no one cares about it at all, resulting in a large backlog of inventory.
