Section 62

In the new morning, the mage tower carriage carrying Annan and Michael drove into the Jukai Manor and stopped in front of the steps.

The old butler commanded his servants to carry the oilcloth-covered Susan's spinning machine into the hall.

Annan stepped out of the carriage and pinched a rose in his hand hidden behind his back. Not to surprise the wine lady, but to be shy to send flowers.

"I'll stay here."

Michael leaned into the carriage, and he didn't want to disturb the wine lady "eating".

Annan, who came to the living room, waited for a while, and the still beautiful wine lady appeared on the stairs and walked down the stairs with her skirt.

Annan pinched the stalk of the thorny rose, raised his head and followed the lady to the front.

"Our warlock boy will please women, too." The wine lady chuckled and took the rose with dewdrops on its petals.

The maid skillfully brought the vase and asked the wine lady to insert the roses into the vase.

"Do you want to talk about interesting things first, or do you want to talk about business first?"

“…… Let's get down to business first. ”

Michael is still out there getting in the way.

Annan lifted the tarpaulin, and a simple and strange machine, different from the traditional spinning wheel, appeared in front of Margaery and the old butler.

Annan turned the spinning wheel, and ten spindles that were rotating at the same time began to spin cotton yarn at a tenfold speed.

The condensed cotton yarn threads are like whirlpools, making it difficult to take your eyes off.

"Susan's spinning machine can be done independently by a female worker, but it is ten times more efficient than the original spinning wheel, and the best spinning wheel is five times more efficient at present."

The wine lady glanced at the old butler, who went to the stalled spinning wheel, examined the cotton yarn produced by Susan's spinning machine, and twisted it with her fingers.

"The quality is a little poor."

"There are improvements that can be made in the future, and we always have to leave room for improvement for the second generation of Susan spinning machines."

Susan's spinning machine has almost no imitation costs, and Annan needs to maintain the generation gap.

"How much are you going to sell this machine?" The old butler asked.

"A spinning mill owner thinks 30 gold is appropriate."

"Pretty much the same, no matter how many spinning mills there are, they won't have the money to buy it." The old butler couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Annan, your whimsical ideas are amazing. ”

Inevitably, we will talk about the distribution of benefits. Margaery didn't speak, and the old butler asked, "How about 30 percent?" ”

"That's too little, isn't it?"

Annan didn't think it was good: "You are in charge of sales to write like this, and the wine lady has helped me a lot...... It should be half of each. ”

The old butler fell silent.

"Then do as you say." "The real stake is not in the spinning machine. ”

Annan was puzzled.

"Sweetheart, this machine will change a lot...... The price of cotton will rise, and the price of cotton yarn, cotton thread and cotton fabric will decrease. ”

As a raw material, cotton will increase in price several times after the Susan spinning machine is introduced, and the profit from early acquisition is by no means comparable to the sale of dozens of spinning machines.

Annan was a little moved, but he didn't have the money.

But the wine lady prepaid the profits of 50 Susan spinning machines.

Loaded into the wagon with a small wooden box containing 750 kinnars, Annan was finally able to pay off his current debts.

The surplus buys the next batch of cotton and waits for the price to rise.

Reach a partnership, and what they're talking about is no longer cold business. The wine lady sat on the sofa and folded her fair and delicate legs:

"Mind telling me who Susan is?"

"Aunt Susan, she helped me in my toughest time."

Margaery's beautiful pale yellow eyes fell on Annan: "Am I helping you like this?" ”

"Of course. Perhaps in the future there will be a machine that can also be called the Winchert machine. ”

"The Wincht family is not comparable to machines!"

The old housekeeper solemnly corrected Annan, but was stopped by the wine lady: "Annan has no malice. ”

"Awakened Warlocks' abilities are all different, I'm curious what your abilities are?"

"Seems to be biased towards summoning."

"Summoning...... It is said that the Awakened Warlock has something to do with the mind, maybe you're someone who craves friends? The wine lady chuckled and said, "I heard you and Lindy are on good terms?" She's a very smart kid, but she's not good at socializing with people. ”

Talking about familiar people is an excellent way to open up the conversation, but the tone of the wine lady is like that of an elder.

They talked a little more, and it was clear that the wine lady was avoiding topics that Annan was not good at.

It didn't take long for Annan to take the initiative to say goodbye to the wine lady and leave the Shuhai Manor.

"I thought he wanted to please you, like the other suitors."

The old butler looked strangely at the distant carriage.

In the past, suitors who wanted to climb the Wincht family would rely on the old butler to start chasing people.

"Perhaps, but he's more interested in currying favor with the Goddess of Fortune now."

……

Annan told Michael about Susan's spinning opportunity to increase the price of cotton. No magician thinks he has enough money to spend – and heys to join in the bountiful harvest of hoarding cotton.

"Goblin factories are going crazy about this." Annan said. But it's not that bad. If the goblins are not stupid, they will soon make imitations and dump them at low prices.

At the end of the day, Susan spinning machines have no technical content, and you can understand the principle at a glance. If you can build a spinning wheel, you can make a Susan spinning machine.

As for a series of problems extended by Susan's spinning machine, such as the loss of workers, the price of cotton rising, and the price of cotton yarn decreasing...... This is the pain that productivity improvement has to face.

Some people may suffer losses as a result, but many more will profit from it.

The hurricanes that ravage the West Coast kill many people every year, but bring abundant moisture and fish to feed many more.

The familiar street scene appeared outside the window, and Michael asked, "Are you going to use all the money to buy cotton?" ”

"I want to assign first."

The carriage stopped in front of the spinning mill, and when Martin and the others heard about it, Soruman Copperbeard helped carry the wooden boxes up to the warehouse.

Annan was still under the radar of the female workers, but today he could not respond to their kindness, and hurried to the storehouse with his head bowed.

Open the wooden box, and the piles of gold coins are pleasing to the eye.

"I'm going to distribute the money."

Annan looked around his friends seriously: "First of all, Michael and his carriage have helped a lot, and they should be divided into 100 gold coins. ”

"I don't want it." "But I'm going to take one with me about hoarding cotton." ”

"What cotton?" Andrew Luna asked, and when he got the answer, he said, "Then I don't want it either." ”

Annan had no choice but to look at Soruman Copperbeard.

"I don't need it, boy. Dwarves are richer than you think. ”

Martin ...... Hmm......" Annan looked at Martin, who was attentive and expectant, "As my brother, although you haven't done anything, you still have worked hard." Divide one gold coin. ”

"Thank you, cousin!" But Martin had a small request: "Can you let me get my head in?" Please......"

"Okay."

"Yay!"

Martin rushed to the wooden box, picked up the gold coin, and washed his face with the gold coin.

Dorai was envious and looked at Annan who was looking at him with apprehension.

"As the maker of the first spinning machine, you'll get 10 gold, and you'll get 1 for every spinning wheel you assemble in the future...... 10 credits. ”
