And these remarks... were of course also heard by the sailors and boatmen on the ship without realizing it. After all, there was nothing to hide.
However, although Zheng Ling's idea seems a bit naive, this conclusion is not problematic even from the perspective of sailors and boatmen.
Because this candy, first of all, is mostly a craft unique to China.
As for wine...this is more difficult to say, because among other things, at least Rome, which is currently said to be wrestling with the Tang Dynasty, also has it.
And Rome also has it, so you can imagine that places like Arabia and Africa also have wine. But that doesn't matter.
The land of China is full of beauty, both in terms of products and people.
The wines from China must be of the highest quality among the wines from other countries.
This voyage was bumpy on the sea for a lot of time as the sun and the moon went by, but in the end it was surprisingly smooth, and we really made it to Africa, the Persian Gulf, and the Southeast Bay...
There is also the key node Tianzhu subcontinent.
In short, after walking around these places, the goods were loaded with goods one after another, almost like running water, and they were sold easily.
Even at the last stop in Africa, there was not much inventory left. Zheng Ling, Lu Wen and others on the fleet almost wanted to take the remaining goods back directly.
With such a smooth trip and the sales being so tight, the profits can naturally be imagined.
By the time the candy, wine, etc., which cost one pound each, were brought to Africa, they had often turned into three or four dollars, or even five dollars.
There is no other reason than that there are too few people who do these two things!
Such a gratifying situation is that even the disciples like Zheng Ling and Lu Wen know that this transaction is a profit, and the boatmen and sailors on the entire ship are also very excited about it, because it means that it goes so well.
I will really make a lot of money in the future.
During this trip to the sea, Zheng Ling, Lu Wen and others of course also wandered around the Tianzhu subcontinent. However, apart from being a little surprised at how there were so many new camps and unfamiliar buildings near the original camp, they quickly left.
.
Compared with these trivial matters, it is pragmatic to cherish the money in front of you.
After returning to Hangzhou on this trip, the words of praise from the elders Wang Jing and Pei Ji were even more overwhelming, and the flowers flew up intoxicatingly...
but……
Since the transaction is so smooth, it is very simple for Wang Jing and others. Of course, we can then start the next step, hehe!
Intensify!
certainly.
Such a large scale of income, and... Zheng Ling, Lu Wen and others are all disciples. The characteristic of disciples is that they have achieved some results with a little bit of work, and they usually have no clue. The maritime merchants in Hangzhou are all tigers and wolves.
Of course, the news will come out soon.
Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others are not fools, and they can figure this out without investigating.
However,...they really didn't panic.
Because for the real super wealthy families, called Wu Xing and Qi Wang, competitors and so on...
None of that exists.
Anyway, Li Sheng is said to have been in seclusion recently to practice his knowledge. It is probably impossible for Li Er to focus on things like sugar and wine...
And how can other maritime merchants have the same strength as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes?
Wang Jing almost didn't need to use his brain to "plan" anything. He knew that these corrupt merchants would not even dare to move!
Because of the strength of this group of people, there is no basis for supporting them to compete with themselves.
If this group of people really wants to do something, Wang Jing can directly organize a price war and lose all his money!
And as long as this group of unscrupulous people lose their money, then of course they will eliminate an opponent. The cost of killing people at a price is indeed high, but...
The purpose of a business war is always to deter potential competitors who want a share of the pie, not the apparent opponent itself.
Use the most extravagant, brutal and crude means to kill the first thorn, only then can you reap the greatest shock effect!
The so-called killing of chickens as a warning...
Well, one thing to say is that Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others are a little sensitive to the word "killing chickens to scare monkeys", and they don't exchange these thoughts very much, but as long as they look at each other, they know that everyone has the same opinion.
I am not afraid of the involution of maritime trade competition at all!
Just so arrogant.
Strength. There is no way.
And this way...
The original area was almost the same as that of the sugar and wine factories in the shipbuilding industrial zone. Riding on the joy of success, Wang Jing and others decisively expanded the business again.
This time, it really surpassed the scale of Hangzhou Industrial Zone!
Even if it’s just in terms of factory floor space.
The reason for this is of course not that simple. In addition to the confidence of winning a good start, there is another point that Wang Jing and the others understand because of this practice...
As a dear mother, making things in a factory is indeed much better than a small workshop.
Wang Jing and the others have finally investigated and understood the secrets of Xiao Yu's cotton spinning factory.
There are no more details, but the basic "form" is clear.
Even though wine and candy have such a rustic feel, they feel completely different from a place like a factory where steel and machines intersect.
Because the production steps were split, the factory building was expanded.
The employees work every day, and their efficiency is much higher than before. The amount of candy produced in one day is more than five or six times greater than that produced by multiple workshops with the same number of people.
Of course, such an exaggerated level is a bit abnormal and unnatural, but... that's a normal situation, when ordinary merchants build factories.
But Wang Jing and others are different. This scale is half the city of Hangzhou.
What is the concept? Hangzhou City was originally one of the top three cities in the world. Now the scale of Hangzhou City is far greater than before. After all, so many merchants have poured into overseas trade, and half of Hangzhou City...
The horror can be imagined.
With such a large scale, even if there are no strong technological advancements, the production efficiency of candy and wine will naturally not be comparable to before.
The main difference in brewing is the brewing method. Generally, after three to six months, the rapid rise in alcohol content stops and becomes slow.
If you want a higher degree in the future, you must have a higher age...
However, although the alcohol content is an important parameter for the quality of drinks in this era, it can even be said to be similar to the core parameter of mobile phone CPUs, but since it is to be operated commercially in this way, it is impossible for Wang Jing and others to pursue such... To put it bluntly, it is illusory and obvious.
It's something that can only last time.
The key is to win through craftsmanship and taste. After all, the history and accumulation of Chinese winemaking are too long and too much.
