Volume 2, Huang Feihong Chapter 9, Profit

"Then I'll rest assured!" Hearing Huang Feihong's arrangement for the female workers, the county magistrate nodded with satisfaction, worthy of Master Huang, that is, enlightened and traditional!

"Master Huang, where are all the goods in your factory sold! The cloth produced in such a large factory cannot be eaten locally!" Lord Man carefully looked at the factory and estimated its scale.

Such a large factory, although it is nothing abroad, is unique in the entire south!

"The cloth from our factory is not sold locally, all of it is shipped to the provincial capital and Shanghai, and the channels over there have been contacted and are waiting for delivery!" said Huang Feihong.

"Why don't you sell it locally!" said the county magistrate.

Because of the freight, many factories produce products that pay attention to nearby sales, and the closer the distance to sell, the better, and why Huang Feihong is willing to go far and do the opposite!

"It's very simple! My lord, the Buddha Mountain is all from the villagers, and because of the low cost, our goods will have a great impact on those handicraft workshops! Once the market is opened, it will be a problem for them to survive! And once they can't survive, it will be easy to cause contradictions and cause trouble to the yamen! In this case, it is better to go directly to the provincial capital and the sea to sell!

Where the price can be sold higher, it has no impact on us here!" Huang Feihong explained.

"Master Huang is really high-spirited!" After hearing this, the county master and Master Man couldn't help but give Huang Feihong a thumbs up!

The most popular thing for local officials is that they have made trouble during their tenure, and Huang Feihong's approach is obviously for them!

As for whether there will be chaos in other places, this is not something they consider, anyway, there are so many foreign fabrics on the market! They are all transported by foreigners on big ships, and they don't see any problems!

"Master Huang, are those people the disbanded Black Flag Army Sailor Personnel!" Lord Man asked as he looked at the factory guards patrolling back and forth.

"Yes, Admiral!" Huang Feihong nodded:

"They used to be from the Black Flag Army, and when Lord Liu left, he asked me to set up a militia to manage them! But my lord, you don't know how expensive it is to set up a militia group, I asked people to calculate, I can't afford just the food expenses!

And I can't bear to dismiss them and let them live without relying on me!

So let them fend for themselves, and the rest of them who can't find a way out will come here to work! You know, my lord, I have a lot of female workers here, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors and rumors, and they will be prying eyes of those street gangsters!

I can also feel at ease with their protection, after all, many female workers in the factory are their relatives, and I am not afraid that they will not care about the defense of the factory!"

"Master Huang, it's right!" Hearing Huang Feihong's arrangement for the sailors, Lord Man nodded with satisfaction.

As for why the militia group was established, Huang Feihong couldn't afford the food expenses, and if he worked under him, he could afford it.

But it doesn't matter who these people are, as long as they are safe and don't make trouble for the yamen!

"This is all the credit of my apprentice Lei Weidong! Huang is just a martial artist! That knows so much!" Huang Feihong shook his head, without greed, and pushed Lei Weidong out.

"Oh! Can you let me meet the senior disciple!" Master Man had also heard of Lei Weidong, and knew that he was Huang Feihong's close disciple, and he was quite loved by Huang Feihong, and now listening to Huang Feihong, he was interested in seeing him!

"Ah Dong!" Huang Feihong shouted to Lei Weidong, who was chatting with the squire.

"Master, you're looking for me!" Hearing the call, Lei Weidong hurriedly ran over!

"Ah Dong! I've met Lord Admiral!" Huang Feihong introduced Lei Weidong to the new Admiral.

"The grass people have seen it! Lord Admiral!" looked at the person in front of him who was dressed exactly like Liu Yongfu!

Lei Weidong knew that he was the straw bag commander in the movie, if it weren't for his good background, he would never have achieved the position in front of him, of course, this person is not bad!

"I heard Master Huang say that you came back from the United States! How did you come back to Bao Zhilin!" Lord Man nodded, very satisfied with Lei Weidong's attitude.

"Back to Lord Admiral, I grew up in the United States! I only came back a few years ago because my parents died! It's just that when I got off the boat, my money was stolen, and I had nowhere to go, so I wandered around, but fortunately Master took me in!" Lei Weidong recounted his experience.

"You have a good arrangement for the Black Flag Naval Army! If you don't let them endanger the place, the court will remember your merits, work hard, and have the opportunity to serve the court well in the future!" Lord Man smiled and patted Lei Weidong's shoulder.

"It's my lord!

People can't help but bow their heads under the eaves, and although they are not interested in the Manchu government, Lei Weidong can't show it! After all, Foshan is still full of people!

"They are really concerned about the affairs of the militia group!" Looking at the figure of the Manchu people in the distance, Huang Feihong was a little worthless for the Black Flag Army:

"Now that the country is like this, the court officials don't think about protecting their families and defending the country, they still have to intrigue!"

"Who made them Manchurians, we are Han people, in their eyes we are no different from foreigners!" Lei Weidong shrugged his shoulders and gave the answer:

"You!" Looking at Lei Weidong's appearance, Huang Feihong couldn't help but shake his head!

After the textile factory officially started, Lei Weidong was most worried about only one problem, what if he couldn't make a profit in the short term!

It doesn't take long, just one month is enough for Lei Weidong.

There is so much capital in hand, and there is no more money after spending it!

In order to build the factory, not only the money left by Liu Yongfu, but also the money borrowed by the squires in Foshan, the working capital of Bao Zhilin, and even the money of Huang Feihong's relatives and friends were borrowed!

Fortunately, what Lei Weidong was worried about did not happen, and the factory made a small profit in the first month of operation, which was not much, but it was also a good sign.

This has a lot to do with the market!

Now there are only foreign cloth on the market, and there are no textile factories in the southern enterprises, so it can be said that the goods of the factory have no competitors at all!

As for the foreign cloth, because of the distance, the cost of transporting it is very high!

Although it is cheaper than the price of homespun cloth!

But it is much more expensive than the cloth produced by Huang's Textile Factory!

In addition to the strategy formulated by Lei Weidong!

Mainly in the provincial market, taking into account the Shanghai market, the ship is not empty.

That is, after the purchased cotton is spun into cloth, it is first chartered to be sent to the provincial capital, and some of the goods are unloaded, and then they go to the sea, and after unloading all the goods, they can load the cotton back by the way! In this way, the transportation cost can also be reduced a lot...

And that's just the beginning, as the factory increases production, the shipping costs will be further reduced!

The profit of the factory will be further increased!

Look at this scenario, don't take four months, and the cost of the investment will come back!
