Chapter 166: Chen's Cloth Village

But the family didn't look at him, but poked his head out and looked at the carriage parked in front of the house.

Zhou Qi also noticed his gaze and helped his forehead.

Despite thousands of years, the relationship between the car and the identity is extremely close!

It's a pity that the prime minister's gorgeous carriage was sent back to the prime minister's mansion by Han Dutong early in the morning, and he couldn't drive the Maserati in the world, otherwise he would have blinded the eyes of this family......

What he traveled today was a carriage hired from a horse dealership, and as for Han Dutong, people didn't need a carriage.

Don't ask why he didn't buy it, since the last dividend, he has been going back and forth, and there is not much left in his family.

I only brought 3,000 silver tickets with me to this capital, and most of them were left for Wu Zhitao to take care of the mansion, but the carriage in the capital cost 5,000 silver for any one......

But he didn't panic, there were rich banks in the capital.

If you don't have enough money, it's a big deal to make some mortgages, it's not a big problem.

"Is there a famous post?"

After looking at it, although he didn't look down on people, he didn't dare to slack off, and asked dutifully.

Zhou Qike didn't expect that the merchant's house would have to be famous for his visit?

But after thinking about it, he said: "Xiao Sheng is a protégé of Lord Han's mansion, and he came to the door today because he wants to cooperate with the Chen family, and he hopes to spread it!" ”

When the family heard it, Lord Han?

Is it the second grade in the book order, the one behind the order to lead the troops to fight?

This person has no roots and no basis in the capital, but in the end he is a second-class adult, so he said respectfully: "It turned out to be a protégé of Lord Han, but my lord is discussing with others, and I ask the son's front hall to wait." ”

As he spoke, he had already opened the door of the house and led Zhou Qi and the others in.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Qi was shocked.

The small bridges and flowing water in this yard, and the house slaves are everywhere, which is very proud!

Compared with the family of the five-grade official Tian Daren, I don't know how many times it is proud!

However, it is still a little worse than the old marquis's mansion in Qizhou, and the area is ......

But in this feudal era, it is indeed enough for the merchant family to be able to do this in the territory of the capital!

A little maid served him tea and snacks, and in case he was in a panic, he also brought the ready-to-wear pattern drawing.

They are all classified according to class, what kind of clothes can be worn by what kind of people, style, color, etc...... It's all clear.

However, it looks like there is no big difference, just a slight distinction in the floral accessories.

Zhou Qi couldn't bear it a little, so he got up and looked at the fish tank placed in the front hall, the little goldfish were one by one, and they were very smart! Not everyone can afford to raise goldfish now, and this Chen family seems to be a bit of a background!

I don't know how long I waited, but finally there were footsteps outside the door.

"Hahaha! The protégé of Lord Han came to visit, but the small people were not well entertained! ”

Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, Zhou Qi looked back, and saw that the person who came was in his forties, and he looked tough, but he was more disobedient, with a mouthful of yellow teeth......

But......

It's so easy to do!

The two bowed their hands and sat down beside them.

Master Chen asked first: "I don't know what this son is called?" ”

Zhou Qi is very familiar with this way.

After introducing himself, he didn't ink, took out a wisp of brocade rag from his arms, and handed it to Master Chen.

"What does that mean?"

Old Man Chen looked at the brocade in his hand and couldn't help asking.

He originally thought that someone was going to place a big order, but why was this a peer?

"That's right, Master Chen, I have a good brocade cloth here, and I want to borrow Master Chen's hand to find a market, this cloth ......"

"Looking for a market?"

Before Master Chen could finish speaking, he had already interrupted, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Are you going to enter my Chen Chamber of Commerce?"

In the capital, many cloth shops squeezed their heads and wanted to have a relationship with the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, and there were countless people who gave gifts and money to beautiful women, but when they looked over there, the man did not bring any objects this week.

"No, I want to cooperate with your Chen Jiabu Company."

So, so......

Zhou Qi explained briefly, the meaning is similar to what his sister-in-law Su Yue talked about before, and he has already explained that what he does is just a textile business, and he has not involved the cloth business.

"But my Chen family has its own textile business, and there are thousands of weaver girls, why should I go near and far to cooperate with you?" After Master Chen understood, he already had the idea of driving people away.

Zhou Qi still let go of his patience and said, "Master Chen might as well look at the fabric first, and then say?" ”

At this time, Mr. Chen picked up the fabric and looked at it carefully, seeing that the color was uniform and the brocade was dense, at this level, the embroidery work was not up to decades, and there was absolutely no such good craftsmanship!

"This fabric, it's okay."

Master Chen is a businessman, and he saw at a glance that this fabric was of the highest quality, and at this time he had already begun to weigh the pros and cons in his heart......

Zhou Qi also struck while the iron was hot and told the supply price.

"Two hundred wen, one foot?!"

Master Chen was stunned, this price was unheard of!

When he first got the brocade in his hands, he thought it would be at least five or six hundred wen, but he didn't expect the cost to be so low!?

A weaver girl costs five taels of silver a month, brocade skills are difficult to consume time and effort, and the monthly production is more than 100 feet, but coupled with the cost of looms, food and accommodation, etc., the average cost is nearly 400 Wen!

But this brocade, the cost is only two hundred!?

The brocade on the market now costs sixty taels of silver and ninety feet of cloth for one.

And if you want to make ready-to-wear directly, the price is not even like this, a ready-to-wear is only seven feet of cloth, but an ordinary ready-to-wear garment, at least 100 taels of silver!

If it is well-made, it is normal to have a thousand taels of silver!

This business! Do it!

"I don't know how many hoarding goods there are Zhou men?"

"Not much, more than 50,000."

Hearing this, Master Chen quickly calculated again.

One foot and two hundred wen is only nearly seven thousand taels of silver, which is really not much.

"That's not right!"

Zhou Qi pinched his chin, and roughly estimated: "It's close to 60,000 horses, if it's a monthly payment, it depends on how much Master Chen can eat." ”

He still heard his sister-in-law say when he entered Beijing, but now he has been in Beijing for six days, and according to the speed of the textile machine and the three factories, there are already 60,000.

Or is it a rough calculation......

Master Chen's jaw dropped on the spot: "This, this is enough for 720,000 taels of silver!" ”

Zhou Qinu nodded with his lips, it should be, right?

In this dynasty, 1,500 copper plates were one tael of silver, and it was indeed about 720,000.

There is no way, the speed of the textile machine is too fast, the people's demand is greater than the supply, and there is so much accumulated backlog.

"Wait......"

Master Chen raised his hand, sat on the chair and calculated, this posture has not changed for a long time.

Seven hundred and twenty thousand silver, not a small amount.

Ten thousand taels of silver can be worth ten gold, and here is already more than seven hundred taels of gold, not to mention that this person was very angry just now, as if the brocade cloth in his hand was as simple as weaving a purse.

Although he can take it out from the Chen family, if this cloth comes in, don't put it in his own hands, this is also uncertain, not to mention that now it is just a wisp of rags, and he has never even seen it in the field textile industry, who knows if he came to cheat him for money?

Then, Old Master Chen glanced in Han Li's direction again.

The appearance of this entourage with a broken arm does look like a house slave in the Han Mansion......

"Then I don't know where Zhou Nan's textile store is?"

"Jinfeng County, Qizhou."

"Jinfeng County? Haven't you heard of any big textile workshops? ”

"A small workshop, not enough to worry about."

The two asked and answered, and then Master Chen was silent again.

As the saying goes, a good text can break everything, and the same is true of cloth, especially in ancient times when machines were backward and relied on artificiality.

Judging from Mr. Chen's reaction, he is quite confident in this negotiation.

Even a fool knows how to choose......

Sure enough, after careful consideration, Master Chen still made a decision: "Then ask Zhou Man to transport the cloth over, and then we will do the measurement, how about it?" ”

Zhou Qi had no opinion on the arrival of the goods, and stretched out his right hand on the spot.

"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Master Chen was not used to this method, so he was stunned and handed his hand over, and said with a smile: "Zhou man, do you want to eat before leaving?" ”

"No, it's just that I brought a deed and bothered Master Chen to sign it."

The content of the deed is nothing else.

The main thing is some matters after the arrival of the goods, and the most important thing is that the credit deed is not accepted.

After Mr. Chen took a look, he didn't have any opinions, but he added a few more strokes, and the quality of each piece of fabric must be guaranteed, otherwise the price will still be lowered.

The negotiation was pleasant to Zhou Qi's surprise, and his mood was much better, and he said generously: "Quality problems, please rest assured Master Chen, I will send you a good thing at that time." ”

Master Chen was a little puzzled.

Zhou Qi didn't explain, he arched his hand with a smile, put away the deed and left.

However, at this very moment.

Two figures walked out of the side hall......
