Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh hot paper
A total of more than 200 merchants gathered in the curse land, and there were more than 2,000 carriages for carriages. The merchants were all smiling from ear to ear, as if they saw a steady stream of yellow crystal coins flowing into their pockets.
Han Xiaowu's efficiency is also very high, and he mines limestone, transports, and paper mills are connected in one day. Several craftsmen in charge are veterans brought by Xingchen and are very skilled in business. The temperature of the curse is high, which is conducive to drying. The first batch of paper was produced within half a month.
Of course, these papers cannot be allocated by all merchants. Those merchants can only come in line.
However, the merchants who were not assigned to the first batch were not in a hurry. The selling price was already set when signing the contract, and they were all unified. The market demand was quite large. Even if all the produced papers were put into the market, they could not meet the needs of the market, so there was no need to worry about others selling at a high price or seizing market share.
The merchants were happy, and Han Xiaowu was also happy. The Curse Land had spent so much money and finally started to make money. The merchants allocated 20,000 yellow crystal coins, which means that he had earned 4 million in the past few days, and the materials were almost no expenses. The main reason was labor expenses. Thousands of people inside and outside the paper mill were busy. Including limestone mining and transportation, it is estimated that the profit from deducting the cost was more than 3.5 million.
"It's a pity that although the scale is twice as big as Xingchenling, it's still not enough! It's far from the profit of perfume and soap per year!"
Although he said this, he kept smiling on his face. He was already very satisfied with such income. There was a cement factory behind him. After last year's flood, this thing could definitely be sold at a good price. The demand in both the paper and the cement market was quite large, and the output of the Curse Land was far from meeting. There was no need to worry about sales. In addition, the income from planting and breeding, the Curse Land should generate 100 million yuan a year. It would be possible to return after five or six years of investment.
Thinking of this, Han Xiaowu smiled even brighter, picked up the pen and paper and wrote a letter to Jiang Xingchen. He asked if he wanted to contact some builders and construction families.
In fact, the market demand for paper is greater than that of Han Xiaowu. This issue of Star Monthly magazine published this news, which immediately triggered various countries.
In the city of Qiyue Lord, people have recovered from drought, and this year's harvest has been preserved, which has made them feel much more relaxed. They also have the energy and interest to discuss this news.
"The river channel of the Cursed Land is built, the paper mill is starting to work, and a large number of paper will be on the market soon... a large number of paper will be on the market. I'll go!" A man was holding the Star Monthly in a small teahouse and suddenly shouted.
Hula and a group of people gathered around and asked in a lingering manner: "It's true or false, it's not that except for the two major monthly papers, the Star Collar cannot produce them... Wait, what do you say, the curse land!"
"Yes, the newly built paper mill in the Curse Land has started!" The speaker raised the monthly magazine in his hand and said proudly.
"New paper mill. But what does it have to do with the opening of the river?" Some people were puzzled.
"You are stupid, you must be a channel for transporting raw materials! Otherwise, why did you wait until the river opens a paper mill before starting construction!" someone answered immediately.
"What raw materials should be used to make paper?" someone asked again.
"You are stupid. Why are you asking these things? Can someone tell you what raw materials are used to make paper? Let's ask something practical... Brother. Did the monthly magazine say that when will the paper be sold and where will it be!"
"I didn't say it!" The person holding the monthly magazine shook his head: "There's nothing else. This sentence was mentioned in the monthly magazine!"
"That's a pity..."
"What a pity? Go and inquire! Since it is a large-scale listing, there must be more than one merchant."
"Yes! Inquire. Then hurry up and queue up. If you go late, you will definitely not be able to get the score! Now I don't know how many people are staring at me!"
But just as they were talking, a large group of people ran over from the teahouse. They vaguely heard the name of Baochang Business.
"Let's go! Let's go to Baochang Business!" The people in the teahouse moved, and they walked away in an instant. The shopkeeper saw this scene as soon as he walked into the hall with hot water. He thought that something had happened to his teahouse. He was so scared that the hot water fell to the ground...
I couldn't walk in front of Baochang Business, and I was asking loudly when the paper would arrive.
The shopkeeper dared not say that, otherwise these people would not leave and would block the door at this door, so there would be no need to do business. Now he was sweating while cursing in his heart, and if I found out that the guy was leaking the news, I would have stripped him of it.
The Lord of Qi Yue is not small, and it is not only Baochang, the only one who signed a paper sales agreement with Xingchenling. But outside the door of every merchant, there are people waiting to buy paper. Noisy, noisy, and quarrels mixed together, which was so lively.
Speaking of which, the empire is still good. The gates of the four sales outlets in the capital of Dachen Kingdom were squeezed out. The shopkeeper was so scared that he got under the counter. He had never seen this scene in his business for his life. He was not buying things, he was just robbing them...
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a robbery. When the paper is shipped, the shopkeeper can only see countless arms stretched out in front of him, each arm holding money.
And he only had the voice of selling it to me and selling it to me.
The owner behind him was so happy that he almost jumped up when he saw this. He knew that the paper sales would be very popular, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. As such, the papers would be sold out that day.
In fact, they couldn't use the same day, and they sold out without using the paper for half a day. The people who came copied all the hundreds of yellow crystal coins, and thousands of yellow crystal coins were bought like this.
In the end, the paper was sold out, and more than half of the people were crowded behind it.
"Prepare the carriage now and go to the curse land!" The boss, who had just returned, didn't even stop his legs, and then ran to the curse land with a smile. This sales speed is too satisfying, let alone being tired. It's worth it even if he is exhausted.
"When I first watched the sale of Star Monthly magazine, I was envious. Now I finally tried it...hahahaha..."
The merchants are happy that the paper is selling so much, and those who buy it are even happier. Since the paper was produced, its quality, low-quality, moderate soft and hard, and light and convenient characteristics have been sought after by everyone.
However, due to limited production, except for the two major monthly magazines, there is very little paper on the market. It is generally monopolized by the great nobles and the royal family. People can't use it even if they want to.
Many people specially buy Imperial Monthly to use paper, and try to write with paper on it to be refreshing! Some people go to Xingchen Collar just to get some paper out.
The person who bought the paper hugged it and walked out, grinning and exclaiming: "I finally bought it, white, smooth, delicate..."
Those who know this are praising paper, those who don’t know may think that praising girls... and those who haven’t bought it all surrounded them and stared at the paper with jealousy.
"Brother, can you share me with a little bit! I'll give you double the money!"
"No! I don't have enough of it myself!" The people who bought the paper protected them very tightly.
"I just want a few pictures, just a few pictures, you can do it!"
"What are the best pictures?"
"I'm wiping my butt. I haven't been to Xingchen Collar yet. I heard that it's all used there..."
"Get out, do you go and use your hands to pick it..."
The buyer ran back with pride, while the buyer who didn't regret waiting for the next opportunity.
Although paper sales are very popular, the impact is not great. The Qiankun Empire and the four kingdoms alone have no less than one million nobles, and the demand for paper is too great. The output of the Curse Land cannot even splash a little water when thrown in.
The only impact is that the sales of white silk has been reduced a lot. In the past, the paper on the star collar also had an impact on white silk, but after all, it was not put into the market in large quantities. White silk still has room for survival.
But this time the paper is coming in full force, and it is estimated that Bai Juan will withdraw from the stage of history in a short time.
Those who do the white silk business naturally cursed Jiang Xingchen until he died. But in the face of such a situation, they could only give up this.
Fortunately, those who make white silk usually make clothes, and they won’t starve to death if they throw away white silk business.
Jiang Xingchen did not pay much attention to the sales of paper. Now that Xingchen is selling the stalls that are large, he cannot cover everything. Since he has given them to Han Xiaowu, he has to give him enough trust.
In addition, the site selection has ended, and dozens of biogas tanks are being built. The airtightness of the pipeline needs to be checked. He needs to install the pressure device. He also has to design the boiler based on his memory, and he has no time to spare.
"No! You can't use iron directly, especially the inner wall of the boiler! Long-term contact with water will definitely cause oxidation and corrosion. I'm afraid there will be problems with using cold iron... You have to study alloys!"
In the study, Jiang Xingchen put down the pen in his hand and focused his fingers on the boiler.
Several problems in studying steam engines have been solved now, and the next one is the boiler! It is definitely not good to use cast iron, as it is too low and unsafe.
But if you want to solve the material problem, the best way is to use alloys. But he is completely unaware of how the alloys should be refined.
"Bang bang bang!" The knock on the door sounded, and the old man walked in with a cold face.
Since the blowout, the old man has never smiled at Jiang Xingchen. Although he knew that this kid did not deliberately imply him, he was just angry.
"This old guy is so childish!" Jiang Xingchen smiled in his heart. The word "old child" can best be reflected in the old man.
"Boy, it's early October! It's time for us to set off!" said the old man.
"Isn't it going to be winter? It's so early?" Jiang Xingchen said in surprise. The work here is not over yet.
"It's getting late, the ice field is much earlier than the winter here! And it will take time for us to get there!"
Jiang Xingchen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it first, you can prepare the necessary items!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
