Those things first spread from a small workshop in the Wu family...
Jiangning's weaving industry has always had many shining figures in the eyes of everyone. Some businessmen who are good at business and calculation are active on various stages, stretching their talents, such as Su Tan'er, Xi Junyu,
For example, brothers Wu Qilong and Wu Qihao, Wu Chenghou, Xue Sheng, and even the older generation Su Yu all have their own commendable achievements, and they have just reached their current status.
These people are good at business and may actually be able to achieve success in any industry. In addition, there are also some people who are good at technology. Each family has its own strengths more or less, and to some extent, they also have to rely on others.
In terms of the support of these people, among them, the one with the highest reputation is probably the Luo Shenzhen of the Wu family.
Luo Minzhi of the Wu family is one of the most important elders of the Wu family, the first cloth shop in Jiangning. He is in his early forties and has single-handedly pushed the Wu family's weaver technology to its peak. Today, these
In recent years, although the Su family, the Xue family, and the Wu family have their own strengths, relatively speaking, even if the Su and Xue families have strengths, they are not the kind that are very obvious and can distance themselves at a decisive level.
, and only the weavers of the Wu family can always be said to be superior to others at the high-end level. These things are all due to Luo Minzhi's efforts over the years.
Nowadays, the Wu family steward usually no longer manages too many trivial things. He loves to visit brothels, is addicted to alcohol, loves to be admired by others, and has a somewhat wild personality. Of course, he is also talented as a weaver.
The Wu family gave him everything he wanted, and he only had to think about how to keep the lead in weaving. However, recently, he has become a little busier.
As the most important steward of the Wu family, he is actually controlling and looking after the recent matters concerning the Royal Merchants, workshops and warehouses. This matter is not so much a responsibility for him at the moment.
, rather it is an honor, because on a technical level, whether the weaver has solved the problem of printing or dyeing, what he needs to do is to watch the cloth that needs to be sent to the palace be made in the workshop, and after strict inspection
Store it in the warehouse and prepare to send it to Bianliang as the first batch of fabrics soon.
It seems that the responsibility is heavy, but in fact there are people all over the Wu family who can do it. Luo Minzhi is the manager on the surface. The actual work is naturally done by the stewards who are responsible for these workshops and warehouses. Luo Minzhi just does it every day.
I came here to see him last time. The rest of the time, my eldest son Luo Xia was in charge, building good relationships with a group of shopkeepers and managers, and also making preparations for Luo Xia to join the management of the Wu family in the future.
Luo Xia did not really inherit Luo Minzhi's talent for weaving, but he had admired his father since he was a child. At least he was remarkable in terms of diligence. Even if he was not pioneering enough, he was at least more than capable. He studied step by step and became a
As a step-by-step shopkeeper, there won't be much problem in this aspect of life planning, not to mention that the Wu family is about to undergo large-scale development, and it is the time for him to do something.
This time his father entrusted him with this responsibility, so he worked hard to maintain good relations with many shopkeepers and managers and make preparations for the future. In addition, daily inspections were also meticulous - of course, even so, there was no
There are some technical and practical facts to speak of.
Of course he also understood that it was normal to take care of these things and nothing would happen. His father actually asked him to come over just to let him meet the other seniors and get on good terms with him. He didn't expect him to actually do anything. It's just that the young man had already
Wujia worked in the cloth shop for several years, mostly learning some small things like management in the weaving workshop run by his father. This time he was finally entrusted with a big responsibility. However, his daily life was even more boring than before.
There is nothing he can do, which makes him feel a little disappointed, but on the other hand, he can only teach himself the business principle that those who achieve great things must be able to endure boredom.
Over the past month, I have been following the steps step by step, talking to several seniors every day, and actually they are also talking about things about Luo Minzhi. This time I was able to get the Royal Merchant, in addition to cleverly getting the original one under the operation of Wu Qilong and others.
The dyeing formula belonging to the Su family is another trump card because of the weaver Luo Minzhi. Otherwise, if it were just cloth of the same color, the Wu family would not have many advantages, and it would not be possible to dye it so easily.
The Su family was devastated to learn about the situation. At the banquet a month ago, the Su family member named Ning Liheng threw his own cloth out of the window angrily because he knew this. What really happened was the existence of Luo Shenzhen.
Of course, chatting about his father all day long made the young man feel proud. On the other hand, it was actually a bit boring to often talk about these things with others. Some shopkeepers told him some things about the romantic place. Luo Xia, who was already married at this time,
Although he is not a fool in this area, he is still a bit embarrassed to talk about these things with his uncles or visit those places together. He goes to several workshops and warehouses step by step every day.
He made a circle and recorded it step by step. There were uncles and uncles in these places, so it was not his turn to point fingers. But perhaps because of his personality, one day at the end of September was the first time he discovered something incongruous.
"Dad, the golden brocades in the small warehouse over at Qinming Building look a little faded..."
When eating at home that night, he mentioned something unconfidently. Fading is a big deal. Luo Minzhi was slightly stunned, and then said: "Over there at Qinming Building? Those are the first ones to come out.
Shopkeeper He of the dyeing shop also said that it might not be very good, but...where did you see it?"
"The ones in the corner."
"In the corner... those are scrap cloths, well, they are the first batch, and they are also the ones that Manager Chen and I think are not ideal. They just threw them there. The corner is wet, so it is inevitable... Well, tomorrow morning we will
Go and have a look.”
Recently, the Wu family has been preparing for the development of Huangshang after it has stabilized. As one of the most famous signs of the Wu family, he also has some banquets and entertainment throughout the day. Things have been developing for a month, and any problems should have been solved long ago.
Many people in Jiangning Clothing Company have almost forgotten about the Su family. How could there be any more twists and turns in such a stable situation?
However, Luo Minzhi was also a person who understood the seriousness of the matter. Since his son came back and said so, he followed Luo Xia to the small warehouse near Qinming Building the next day to have a look. Sure enough, the brocade had just been dyed.
The first batch that Fang made, he used it to experiment with weaving methods and threw it away because he was a little dissatisfied. As for waste cloth, if placed in a dark and humid corner, it would inevitably become a little messy, and the fading could not be seen too much.
He comforted his son and let the matter go.
Luo Minzhi didn't take these scraps of cloth seriously, and Luo Xia stopped thinking about them for the time being. He still walked among several workshops and warehouses every day. The emperor's merchant had already decided that there would be a meeting in about a month.
The first batch of 220 pieces of golden brocade will be shipped first. This kind of brocade is currently considered the signature of the Wu family, and it is impossible to allow large-scale production. These small workshops are also rushing day and night.
, are still constantly trying to improve and select. Some of the first batch of brocades produced were selected due to various shortcomings. Every day, I look at weaving, printing and dyeing, and finished cloth. Those golden brocades are so beautiful.
One day, Luo Xia went to the waste cloth warehouse in Qinming Building again.
The fading of the piece of cloth in the corner has become obvious. Although it is normal for the pieces of cloth placed in the corner to fade, some unknown premonition still flashed through Luo Xia's heart. There were actually some items on the shelf nearby.
There were several discarded brocades, which were better kept. He opened the box and looked at them, and found that some of them no longer looked so golden.
"The formula just prepared by the Su family will definitely be defective. It is impossible to show this batch to others..."
This is what his father said before. Luo Xia thought about it and went back to check some other finished cloths. Just like the name of the golden brocade, all the cloths were bright yellow and very gorgeous.
In the next few days, those pieces of faded fabric kept wandering around in his mind, making him a little dazed. The time had now entered October, and on this day he went to the warehouse.
He directly opened the brocades that had been sealed in the boxes and took them out one by one. When Manager Qin, who was in charge of the warehouse here, came over, the brocades were already stacked more than two meters high on the table, and they were almost golden.
Suddenly, no one could stop Luo Xia. He continued to do it, and surprisingly, several warehouse workers were also unpacking the boxes there.
"Luo Xia! You..." Manager Qin didn't finish what he said, because he had already seen it. Among the piles of golden silk and satin, there were two horses with different colors. Luo Xia was holding one.
Boo turned around.
"Uncle Qin, there is something wrong with the first batch of golden brocades..."
Manager Qin only hesitated for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand: "Tear it down, tear it all down!"
There was something wrong with the first batch of golden brocades. When this news came to the ears of Luo Minzhi, Wu Qilong and others, they were all shocked. But fortunately, the rest were still fine. When everyone was released
When put together, those pieces of fabric faded obviously, but the rest were completely integrated. This at least proved that there was no problem with the later brocades, but it was due to some minor problems caused by the Wu family not being familiar with the dye formula before.
"We still don't know where the problem lies. In the past few days, we have also made some adjustments to the formula. We can only check back to see what the cause of these problems is. Well, it is best to find out in time.
situation."
The cloths that had not faded were stacked together, and they looked as golden as an unbreakable wall. Wu Qilong was relieved and ordered to start to find out the reason, and then repack the cloths. Small setbacks in the business
It often happens on the market. At this time, the twists and turns are over, and Luo Xia, who discovered this matter, was rewarded for it. There are still twenty days before the first delivery of Huangshang, and there are actually not many tasks left. Several workshops
He was still working in full swing, and no one mentioned the fading matter again. The door of the warehouse where the cloths were placed was also closed, and the key was held by Manager Qin himself. But just a few days later, the cancer turned.
On the afternoon of the ninth day of October, when a clerk passed by the warehouse door, he found that the door of the warehouse that only Manager Qin could enter in the past few days was open. He walked inside, and the light was not very bright.
Manager Qin was sitting on the side of the warehouse. He was already a little old, with white beard and hair. He looked a little haggard these days. Others only thought that he was too busy recently, but they knew that at this time, something finally appeared.
A clue came out.
Manager Qin, who was sitting there, had dull eyes and a haggard look on his face. One hand was shaking and he was looking straight at the piles of cloth on the other side, as if he had seen something terrible.
The waiter called him, but the old man didn't respond, so he turned around and shouted: "Here comes someone!" When he looked back at the pile of fabrics, he suddenly discovered that in the somewhat dim room, the originally seamless fabric wall
, at this time, there was some uneven contrast. The approximately 10 pieces of cloth mixed in it had changed color to a darker or lighter color, and no longer returned to the original bright yellow. The faded cloth was mixed in the cloth wall. At this time,
It looks like a weird face, with two eyes moving up and down, and a twisted lip, showing a smile in this room...
The daylight seemed to have faded and was blocked outside the door, reluctant to come in. A few months ago, it may have been a scene that happened in the Su family's cloth shop, but now it finally seemed to be copied.
One item begins to be reproduced here.
In the workshop not far away, workers were still working in full swing. New cloths were being dyed one by one. The stewards were talking and laughing among the crowd. Everyone was making plans and preparing.
Moving towards a better future...
*********************
When he received the news, Wu Qilong and Luo Minzhi were drinking tea in a gorgeously decorated teahouse, discussing the innovations that the imperial merchants would need to make when the second batch of cloth was needed and the need to meet with a big cloth merchant tonight to solve the shortage of cloth.
Regarding the issue of goods and filling, a clerk came over and told him in a low voice what had happened.
"What did you say?" The voice was too low, and Wu Qilong felt that he had not heard clearly, so he repeated it.
"Qin, Manager Qin fell ill, and... the cloth is fading..."
"Wha...what cloth is fading?"
"Those golden brocades..."
"I know it's those golden brocades! Haven't those golden brocades faded and been selected already? I haven't found the reason yet, what on earth are you talking about..."
"But..." The man repeated the situation in the workshop and warehouse again. Even after this time, Wu Qilong was still a little unbelievable for a moment. He understood every word, but he couldn't remember it in his mind.
Forming a concrete image. There are still more than ten days before delivery to the royal family. Maybe there is something wrong with the cloth? Is it going to fade?
"You...what are you talking about?" He tilted his head, his eyes wandered, and then turned back, "What exactly faded..."
A month and a half has passed. At this time, something finally accumulated strength and broke the deliberately created illusion of a paradise-like beauty during this month and a half. Then, it began to beat everyone hard.
Pull it back...
At this time, Ning Yi was coming in from the small laboratory next to the school. He closed the door and prepared to go home in the afternoon of late autumn and early winter. He had not had much social activities recently, and even met many people at home without even saying hello.
Playing is extremely leisurely.

The first day of September, please give me a guarantee***^_^
