Of course, how to do it is also a problem, but fortunately, what is now in front of Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others is a market that has gradually begun to mature.
We need to search for talents, examine routines, and have goals and plans... However, in the process, everyone also got some not-so-good news.
But on this day, in a large house in Hangzhou...
Deep in the flower hall, Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe, Lu Changgeng, Zheng Taishan and other wealthy gentry were drinking and discussing big plans.
As we talked about setting up a factory, the atmosphere became a bit dull, because...
"Today, the benefits of running a cotton spinning mill are no longer as good as those of Xiao Yu's time! Alas..."
…
Things were so cruel. Xiao Yu was the first to jump in and build a big factory to produce cotton spinning. Soon Xiao Yu became rich.
No one knows the specific asset growth, only Xiao Yu knows it, but the information obtained by Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others, anyway...
Nowadays, the Xiao family, not to mention Xiao Yu himself, even the daily food and clothing expenses of Xiao Yu's children, nephews and even grandchildren, as well as the specifications of the cars and horses they ride on, are almost catching up with those old guys.
Already...
And these brothers are from the fifth and seventh surnames!
But it is the most wealthy family in the world!
This is simply a shame and a shame.
If it weren't for this, Wang Jing and others would not have decided to invest major capital in business so easily because of recent events.
As of this stage, actually...
If Li Sheng knew about this, he would definitely be very pleased.
Lao Tzu's trick of turning Hu into a Buddha when he came out of Hangu, and turning a landlord into a maritime merchant himself was considered to have worked...at least for this period, it was somewhat effective.
But then...
Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng... After all, these are all from wealthy families for many generations, and the stability of their thinking habits is much more important than that of ordinary small landowners...
For small and medium-sized landowners, cultivating fields to collect rents, cultivating more fields to collect more rents is a kind of livelihood-making a living is not important, the important thing is that they have been "making a living", and Wang Jing and Pei Ji
This team is different, they don't even need to do anything...
As long as there is a famine every year, you can buy countless properties and houses without hesitation, and you don’t even need to be cunning or ruthless to expand your capital...
Therefore, after Li Sheng initiated the changes, it was much easier for the middle and lower classes to transform. After all, they had not completely broken away from production. But for people like Wang Jing and Pei Ji, it was very different.
Since we need to transform, then... our position in the sale and purchase of land must also be transformed?...
Therefore, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others quickly thought of a key point.
Yes, as a cotton spinning mill, the profit is no longer as good as Xiao Yu's original profit, but if we follow up now...
I'm afraid it's still not as good as Xiao Yu, because after all, this guy has been around for so long. In addition to the large scale of large machines, who knows if there are any other ways to trade in cotton spinning? Think about it and you will know that there are ways to do this.
Xiao Yu accumulated the most.
What does it mean? Nowadays, other ordinary merchants who want to set up cotton spinning factories may not be able to compare with Xiao Yu's original profit, which is estimated to be only 30%, but now Xiao Yu himself may make more than before.
After a little investigation, I found that among the cotton gauze on the market, the one with the best reputation, the highest price, and the strongest sales is the one produced by Xiao.
It's basically impossible to chase.
And... think about it, eating Xiao Yu's exhaust would be a great shame and humiliation for Wang Jing and others. If they can't even eat the exhaust, it would be even more...
But that doesn't matter.
Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others were not discouraged because it was difficult to start the cotton spinning industry.
Because... besides cotton spinning, didn’t Datang have any other industries? Huh?
snort!
Among the people, Pei Ji was the first to change his mind in the blink of an eye and came up with an idea...but he didn't think it through completely for a while. At this time, Wang Jing spoke, "Everyone, besides cotton spinning, there are other livelihoods.
?Maybe steelmaking..."
Today, the flagship products of Datang's export industry are firstly medicinal materials, spices, porcelain and silk cloth, and then swords.
The hardness of the sword made of Tang Dynasty standard steel can be described in four words: anyone who understands it can understand it. So Wang Jing quickly came up with this idea.
But when he said this, Lu Changgeng on the side immediately shook his head,
"This method may be hated by Erlang of the Li family... Once this person gets angry, we will... alas!"
As he said this, he shook his head repeatedly. Lu Changgeng was now subdued by Li Er.
Of course, everyone was originally unhappy with the second son of the Li family, but they just saw that Li Er was strong and did not dare to do anything. Now, Li Er is even more powerful, and everyone... is of course even more unhappy, but it is still difficult to make mistakes. Here is one point
Nothing has changed.
When Lu Changgeng shook his head like this, Wang Jing's face became a little gloomy.
Didn't he have Lu Changgeng's concerns? But if he couldn't handle Li Er, he couldn't handle him, so what could he do?
But then Pei Ji suddenly remembered,
"Wait a minute, Xiao Yu, an old man, became dominant in the silk cloth business by setting up a factory for the first time. Then why don't we... why don't we start one too?"
"oh?"
Wang Jing became interested instantly and looked at Pei Ji with wide eyes.
Yes, in the past, everyone did lose a lot of property to Li Er, a tyrannical king, because of various businesses, but... then again, it was because they didn't understand Li Sheng, a monster at that time, and didn't understand him.
The trick got his way.
But it's different now!
"yes……"
The light in Wang Jing's eyes changes, and his spirit is full of energy.
"What we have done in the past is all based on ancient methods... But Li Sheng, the evil disciple, has a new method. He is especially good at recruiting people to gather people into a camp, which can achieve lasting results... If we follow suit,
Wouldn’t this also have the same magical effect?”
As soon as Pei Ji reminded him, everyone reacted to Wang Jing's murmur in an instant.
A pair of old eyes, shining brightly at this moment!
And then everyone exchanged glances, and soon...
Old man Li Tiancheng took a deep breath and said with a blush on his face, "If that's the case, we can just make a living and build a factory like an old man like Xiao Yu, wouldn't we be able to dominate the world and make huge profits?
!”
As soon as this idea came out, everyone's feeling was directly described as "it's dawn".
Then, Cui Baihe also nodded and said, "In this case, in my opinion, Li Sheng has unique skills in everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he has never interfered in the food aspect, so he must be lacking some means...
Let’s wait, why don’t we start with ‘food’?”
"Food? This..."
Wang Jing didn't get excited immediately after hearing this and fell into deep thought.
Because the food seems to be...
"It seems... Li Sheng also brought out the two sacred objects of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Li Er was very happy. I'm afraid..."
