While Xia Lin was ambitious to open up the sugar market, Ellen Greg was busy near his estate.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to win the leading position in the textile industry with Jenny spinning machine, but he did not expect that his plan would encounter a small obstacle.

That's the issue of confidentiality.

Although Jenny's spinning machine is more than ten times more efficient than traditional hand spinning machines, and even dozens of times more frightening after the modification of adding spinning spindles, there is no technical difficulty in the production of vertical spindle spinning machines, and the first problem Ellen encounters is how to ensure that her treasure is not stolen by other chambers of commerce.

In the past, the Chamber of Commerce issued roving to contractors who paid a deposit, so that the contractors could subdivide them into various spinning women, and these spinning women were to rent or buy spinning machines by themselves, except for the hundreds of spinning women in the territory, the Greg Chamber of Commerce had no direct contact with the spinning women in the city.

But now Ellen had to keep the spinning women under her control in order to keep the spindle spinning machine a secret while making money.

After a period of struggle, Ellen couldn't think of a good way to swallow this huge amount of money, so he simply gave up the female spinning workers in the city conservatively, anyway, the number of vertical spindle spinning machines he currently had on hand was not much.

So he gradually hired forty of the women who could spin yarn on his manor for fifteen copper pes, and then made a large strip of wooden thatched huts outside his estate.

Forty spindle spinning machines were placed in the shed, which all thirteen carpenters of the estate had been working overtime during this time, and his family guard was stationed outside.

In this way he was able to ensure that the women could not take out of the shed not even a grain of wood that belonged to the spinning machine, except for their wages.

Standing under the barely shaded shed, these women quickly became acquainted with the operation of the spindle spinning machine after a short period of training, and while marveling at the terrible efficiency of the spindle spinning machine, they also began to create a great deal of wealth for the Greg Chamber of Commerce.

Every day, a constant stream of flatbed wagons would bring in large quantities of roving from the surrounding estates and the city, and then the same pounds of spinning would be shipped out.

Now a pound of roving costs twenty-six copper pess on the market, and a pound of spinning yarn costs thirty-five copper pes, and in the past, only four of the nine copper pess were the spinning profits of the Greg Chamber of Commerce, but now it is different.

After the introduction of a fixed salary, each female worker was required fifteen copper pepsies a day, but each of them was able to produce an average of twenty-three heavies, or two hundred and thirty pounds of spinner.

Greg would earn nine copper pesas per pound of spinner, and each female worker would bring in a profit of almost twenty silver mar a day.

In three days, when the number of spinning machines and women workers had increased to forty, Ellen had earned a net profit of four gold lunts, and the number of his spinning machines and women spinning women was increasing steadily and rapidly.

Almost so maddened by this terrible profit that Ellen could not wait for the spinning machine to be completed, so he hired forty additional women to rotate between the morning and afternoon with the original skilled spinners.

Of course, he did not think about the rest time of the female workers, but to train enough skilled hand spinners in the shortest possible time.

After all, there is a world of difference between the efficiency of a novice spinner who can only spin a hand spinning machine and a skilled spinning machine who has mastered a vertical spinning machine.

Keen to perceive the efficiency gap, he would rather wait for a machine than a machine for a human.

Just as Ellen was standing on the wall of his manor with great ambition and looking at the spinning workers working in the shed, imagining the future of the Greg Chamber of Commerce to unify the spinning industry, he unexpectedly received a letter of worship from the Chamber of Commerce in the city.

The payment was made to his friend who brought him all this, Charleen Karl, and the time was tomorrow afternoon.

For Xia Lin, Ellen has a very good impression, although he is from a poor background, Ellen admires him very much, and he can actually think of such a wonderful design, which improves the efficiency of spinning so much.

Therefore, he gave a good order, and asked the butler to prepare the black tea and expensive pastries that Xia Lin liked to drink, and prepared them to receive Xia Lin tomorrow afternoon.

At about three or four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, an ordinary carriage slowly drove in front of the manor, and Ellen, who had received the servant's report, came to the gate of the manor enthusiastically, ready to greet Xia Lin, but saw him holding a strange huge wooden box in his hand, and carefully stepped down from the carriage.

"My dear friend, you don't have to be so polite, you came to me as a guest and brought a gift!"

With a warm smile on his face, Eren stepped forward and said to Xia Lin, who was still wearing the linen mage's robes.

"Ellen, if it weren't for your foresight and insight into the broad prospects of the spindle spinning machine I designed, I'm afraid I would still be trembling in my dilapidated house in the slums waiting for the dark future to go to the north!"

Xia Lin skillfully complimented Ellen, and his eyes fell on the shed less than a hundred meters away from the manor, showing a somewhat surprised expression:

"My friend, is that what you think? What a genius idea to use factories for secrecy! ”

"Haha! That's true, after all, those chambers of commerce are like hyenas on the plains, if you don't pay attention, my darling, your wisdom will be stolen by them! Walk! My friend, I have prepared a sumptuous afternoon tea, please let me treat you well! ”

Eren patted Xia Lin on the shoulder affectionately, ready to take the large wooden box in his hand, but he stopped him.

"I'm sorry, Ellen, in fact, although it is a gift from me, it is also a new thing that we are going to cooperate with, and it is not convenient to open it now, please wait a while, when I get to the place, I will naturally reveal the mystery!"

Xia Lin explained with a somewhat apologetic look.

"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it! ”

Ellen naturally wouldn't force Xia Lin, he looked at the big wooden box curiously, and walked forward with Xia Lin under the guidance of the old butler of the Greg family.

Seeing Xia Lin's cautious appearance, Ellen's youthful nature made him wonder what was inside.

When he could see the afternoon tea table set up in the shade of the garden, Xia Lin said:

"Ellen, thank you for your kindness, but please take those pastries down! My gift for you is a delicious pastry for afternoon tea, so why don't we try it first! ”

"I see! All right! Grandpa Harold, let them take everything down! Leave the drink on it. ”

Listening to Xia Lin's words, Ellen's face was full of surprise, he waved his hand and commanded his old butler.

"Okay, young master!"

The old butler bowed slightly, and asked the maids waiting around him to remove the pastries that had been prepared, and Xia Lin then placed the wooden box on the entire white marble carved table, and carefully opened the wooden box.
