Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sky-high prices
In the industrial area, a group of businessmen have already visited the area, standing in front of a special glass curtain wall, quietly watching the loom in the distance.
When the machine runs, a piece of cloth is woven almost instantaneously, passed to the next machine for division and packaging, and finally transported by human power to the designated location.
Jing Xi and Jing Ming were also quite shocked when they saw such a scene.
Jingxi stretched out his hand, felt the vibration on the glass curtain wall, and couldn't help asking:
"How much cloth can be produced here in a day."
The staff smiled and replied:
"It depends on how many orders there are, if not, only 10,000 horses a day will be knitted, so that the machine can rest."
Jingxi's eyes widened.
"10,000 horses or just a break?".
The staff laughed:
"Yes, we have hundreds of these steam looms here, and thousands of people revolve around them, and if they can't weave tens of thousands of pieces of cloth a day, what's the use of them?"
Jingxi's face gradually calmed down, she nodded, and said:
"Taught.".
The two stood here for a while, quietly counting the number of cloths.
Ten minutes, close to ninety pieces of cloth.
Jing Xi frowned, and stopped talking.
Jing Ming saw Jing Xi's distress and smiled at her:
"Just ask if you want.".
Kyung-hee got her brother's approval and finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
"Do you sell your looms?"
To the surprise of the two, the staff member heard the question of the two and asked:
"Do you really want to buy it, or do you ......".
Jing Xi smiled:
"Of course I really want to buy it."
When the staff member heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at the surrounding peaks like a thief, and found that no colleagues were looking here, so he said to the two:
"Please take a step to speak.".
Jing Xi and Jing Ming were taken by the staff to a quiet room, which was not too far from the machines, but it was surprisingly quiet.
The staff wanted to pour water for the two to drink, but Jingming stopped them.
Jing Ming asked:
"It's time to tell us, right?"
The staff nodded, took out an abacus, and asked:
"A loom of 200,000 gold coins, there is a problem within a year, warranty, do you want to buy it?".
Jing Xi and Jing Ming glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
When the staff saw the performance of the two, they thought that the two were too expensive, so he hurriedly asked:
"If the two of you are too expensive, I ......."
Unexpectedly, Jing Ming waved his hand indifferently and said:
"No need, we bought it.".
The staff member smiled like a flower, and he asked:
"Do you want to buy a spinning machine? Do you want to buy a baler? ”。
Jing Ming nodded and said:
"Buy them all, buy them all."
"There are 250,000 spinning machines and 500,000 balers, since the two of you bought these two pieces of equipment, you also need to buy generators, and the generators are 2 million each, if you only buy one set of balers, it is a waste ...... to buy generators."
Jing Ming frowned and asked:
"Why?".
The staff laughed:
"Because one generator can supply ten balers, it's not cost-effective to buy just one."
Jing Ming looked at Jing Xi, and Jing Xi immediately took over and said:
"Then we'll buy ten balers."
The smile on the staff member's face brightened, and he said to the two:
"In that case, the ten balers are a bit wasteful."
Jing Ming immediately said:
"Stop, just say how much we're going to buy.".
The staff member took out a piece of paper, wrote it down quickly, and quickly calculated it.
"Forty spinning machines for ten million, twenty looms for four million, ten balers for five million, plus one generator, a total of twenty-one million."
Jing Ming's eyes widened and he asked:
"How much?".
The staff laughed:
"Twenty-one million."
Jing Ming sat back and said with emotion:
"No wonder you agree to sell these things, what is the difference between you and Ming robbery."
The staff sneered:
"You can't say that, twenty looms are operating, not to mention too much every year, millions of cotton cloths are still more than enough, excluding the cost, these twenty looms can bring you a net profit of two million gold coins every year, two thousand and one million, just eleven years, you can return to the cost, and such a large order, you can also negotiate the ......."
Jing Ming smiled bitterly:
"Show me this order, and I'm going to think about it carefully."
The staff member smiled:
"We are always welcome.".
Jing Xi and Jing Ming left the factory in a sullen mood, they stayed in the factory and felt that the air in the factory was full of copper smell.
Jing Xi said to Jing Ming:
"I take back what I said before."
Jing Ming asked in amazement:
"Which word?".
Jing Hee Road:
"Some things don't sell because they don't offer enough. Because I found that that kind of thing only applies when the assets of the two parties are not equal. ”。
When Jing Ming heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.
Jingxi asked:
"Shall we buy it?".
Jing Ming sighed and said to Jing Xi:
"I think it's better to visit Xu Kuang first, if he is willing to sell cheaply, we are definitely willing to buy ......."
Hearing this, Jing Xi said:
"But how are we going to visit Xu Kuang?"
At this time, one person behind the two said:
"Xu Kuang is right behind you."
Jing Ming was taken aback, he didn't even notice when Xu Kuang was standing behind them.
Xu Kuang had already followed behind them, because the news that someone wanted to buy a loom was sent to Xu Kuang as soon as possible, and Xu Kuang attached great importance to this matter, so he came immediately.
Xu Kuang listened behind the two for a while, but he didn't expect that the group of people in the Commercial Bureau were so dark, and the manufacturing cost of the loom was only a thousand gold coins, which was added by this group of people to the back.
The three of them saluted separately.
Jing Ming smiled:
"I wonder if Lord Xu can sell us some looms cheaply?"
Xu Kuang smiled:
"I don't care about this matter, you need to negotiate the price with the negotiation team of our commercial bureau, you can rest assured, if you really want to buy, you can still give you a satisfactory discount."
Jingxi looked at Xu Kuang and expressed the doubts in his heart:
"Why doesn't Lord Xu monopolize the loom in his own hands?"
Xu Kuang smiled:
"How can selling cloth make money quickly by selling looms, my territory needs money to develop, and the fabric is just that, it doesn't hurt."
Yes, for Xu Kuang, even if the technology of the loom is developed to the highest level, the woven cloth cannot be invulnerable, and at the moment, he might as well gather more funds to make Mushroom Ridge develop rapidly.
At present, the most profitable jewelry has also entered a period of development retardation, Xu Kuang's influence is only useful in Moriel City and White Birch City, and it is not good to go further, only a very small number of powerful high-end customers can still insist on consumption, and others have long been dissuaded by the high price of custom jewelry.
As for civilian jewelry, it is not a necessity, and it is difficult to sell it again after the market is saturated in several places.
Therefore, Xu Kuang needs to expand his financial channels and find a way out for all walks of life that burn money for himself.
