These silk reeling workers also need to go through a certain amount of training, of course, the work related to the use and maintenance of the machine is mainly responsible for the scholars and workers involved in the design and manufacture of these equipment, and even the parameters of the machine are controlled by them, these silk reeling workers only need to be responsible for the delicate work such as silk reeling and reshaking.

After a period of trial operation and various adjustments, the work of the silk reeling factory began to get on the right track, producing raw silk with a denier of 10 to 12 deniers and bright color, because the quality of the cocoons used is good, and this kind of raw silk is taken to Europe, and it must be the top grade of the top grade, much better than the so-called French silk and Italian silk.

Zhao Dagui held a briefing on the new raw silk products, and invited all the British merchant captains, merchants, and compradors of foreign companies in Shanghai to visit the newly built business building of the Dagui Commercial House in the concession area.

According to Zhao Dagui's huge influence in the business circle, all those who were invited came happily.

The raw silk of the machine reeling silk that Zhao Dagui took out, which is the so-called factory silk, caused a sensation in the business circle.

Western merchants are the most aware of the value of these raw silks, and when they are brought to the silk weaving factories in Europe or the United States, those wealthy factory owners will break their heads and grab these well-processed and high-quality raw silks, and may even be willing to pay a high price of thousands of yuan per bag, as much as they want;

Chinese businessmen, such as Wu Jianzhang and Yang Fang, were at a loss, these raw silk were three or four times thinner than the native silk, uniform and neat, the color and brightness were far above the native silk, they had never seen such a fine and beautiful raw silk in their lives, and they really didn't know where Zhao Dagui got so many good things.

You don't need much knowledge, just take a look at this kind of raw silk, and you can understand that the silk produced from factory silk must be countless times more delicate and beautiful than ordinary silk, just like the gap between homespun cloth and foreign cloth.

Silk is a real luxury, and the price difference between high-end silk and low-grade silk can be several times, and Wu Jianzhang and others do not need to understand the situation in Europe to understand that the weaving factories in Nanjing and Suzhou will fight to obtain such high-quality raw silk.

The 500 quintals of factory silk produced by the silk reeling factory during this period were sold out on the spot at a high price of 550 yuan to 650 yuan per bag.

Zhao Dagui easily booked more than 1,000 bags of factory silk and obtained a deposit of about 10% of the price of raw silk, which not only achieved the sales target, but also obtained a lot of working capital.

Wu Jianzhang, Lin Aqin, Yang Fang and others couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly, originally the three of them were the main force in cooperating to run on the Dagui Commercial Bank, but looking at this situation, there was no point in blocking the Dagui Commercial Bank again.

Their backstage bosses, that is, the foreign executives of Jardine Matheson and Qichang Foreign Company, were very supportive of the business of besieging the Dagui Commercial Firm, and when they saw these factory silks, they immediately defected, and instead rushed to pay for these raw silks.

In this case, the so-called blockade is empty talk.

The hot sales of factory silk also drove the sales of ordinary soil silk and other products such as tea, porcelain, and copperware, setting off a small climax.

When the new product promotion meeting ended, Zhao Dagui held a Western-style cocktail party as usual, and the businessmen carnivaled and got something, so they went back satisfied.

"Where did Zhao Dagui's raw silk come from, do you know?" Lin Aqin, who was in the line of righteousness, asked Wu Jianzhang in a low voice.

"It is said that it was reeled by himself, using a foreigner's machine. Wu Jianzhang replied.

"Then can we also make our own machines and make this kind of life and death?"

"It should be possible, there are also a few factories in Guangzhou that buy foreigner machines to shake. However, these factories regard machines as more important than life and will never sell them to outsiders. ”

"Well, then, you have to order from a foreign company and bring back the machine from Europe, right?"

"Well, that's it. However, Europa is so far away from my Qing Dynasty, even if I order the machine now, it is estimated that it will take a year or two to get it. ”

"That's too slow, when Zhao Dagui will definitely control the entire raw silk industry, and the cucumber vegetables will be cold. ”

Lin Aqin said disgustedly, and looked at Wu Jianzhang with each other, but he couldn't think of a way for a while.

Many people hesitated whether to continue to do a loss-making business of buying high and selling low, and some even proposed to reconcile with the Dagui Commercial Bank, so that everyone could re-create a set of price alliances and make money from outsiders together, instead of fighting in the nest.

However, everyone's decision has not yet been made, and in June, the Dagui Commercial Bank has made a big move, that is, it has begun to sell foreign cloth, and the price is set very cheap.

It turned out that the compradors of foreign houses in Shanghai received foreign cloth at an average price of about 2.5 yuan per horse, and then sold it to Chinese cloth merchants at a price of 3 yuan or 2.9 yuan per horse, making huge profits from it.

As a result, some time ago, everyone fought a price war, and the price of this set became 2.6 yuan to get the goods, and about 2.8 yuan to ship, although the big expensive commercial houses were very bitter, and the losses of the compradors of the foreign banks themselves were not small.

At this juncture, the Dagui Commercial Bank suddenly announced that it would sell foreign cloth at a low price, and the wholesale price was actually as low as 2.4 yuan per horse, which was lower than the purchase price.

At this time, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, which really shook the foundation of the survival of foreign cloth merchants, and many foreign cloth merchants visited Zhao Dagui one after another, hoping that he would not break the rules, or raise the price as well.

"I don't want to break the rules, but didn't everyone say it some time ago, now the world is difficult, the original price alliance doesn't need to be stubborn, I can only follow everyone's wishes.

It just so happened that my firm had accumulated a lot of inventory before, so I took this opportunity to clear all of them so as not to be overwhelmed. Zhao Dagui smiled and put on a posture of hob meat.

"If your firm proposes such a low price, what profit is there to speak of? Besides, how much inventory can your bank have, isn't it just to give us a good look?" Lin Aqin said through gritted teeth.

"It's serious, Brother Lin, it's just business. ”

"Otherwise, you will transfer all these foreign fabrics to me according to the price, and it will save me from getting the goods from the British, and the price will be higher than this, and I will have to grind my tongue. ”

"You want to clear my warehouse with real money, and I can't ask for it. ”

Lin Aqin looked at Zhao Dagui and smiled, eager to hit him in the face with a teacup, and even wanted to take out a large amount of cash and eat all the goods in Zhao Dagui's hand, not only to make some money, but also to give people a good look.

The problem is that Lin Aqin can't do this, Yisheng Bank has always been wealthy, and it has even become the largest trading house in Shanghai during this period, but during this time, the inventory is too much, and the speed of selling foreign cloth is much slower than before, making Yisheng Bank particularly short of cash.
