To be honest, even if the goods of forty large ships are brought back to China, I am afraid that they may not be able to recover their money quickly. Who knows what changes will happen again?
However, the probability is too small, and there is no point in considering it. Besides...
Wang Jing made a little calculation in his mind. The price of the goods shipped this time was not high in the first place - the huge profits he made were realized from the beginning by relying on the low cost of factory production. As a result, unexpected situations occurred overseas, and this book
The low price can only be reduced significantly, and then... Wang Jing and others hope to fight a price war at a low price, but regardless of the effect, the huge profits will disappear first.
But now, because...the future is uncertain and the situation is turbulent, no one can tell whether these goods can be sold smoothly. So under the dilemma, even if Wang Jing didn't say it just now, it is obvious that the price is
It must be further reduced significantly and sold at a loss.
and……
Wang Jing always has an ominous premonition, and this premonition also puts some urgent pressure on people. Therefore, Wang Jing knows that the price reduction cannot be lower...
At the very least, this transaction will cost more than two-thirds, and due to the strong scale effect of factory production, this two-thirds of the turnover is almost equal to half of the factory area in the west of the city.
In other words, one loss is equivalent to 1.5 Apple companies...
But such an outrageous loss is unavoidable. Wang Jing clearly understands this. However...
After watching Pei Ji, Lu Changgeng and others leave the flower hall, Wang Jing sat alone among the flowers and meditated. Thinking about this, he felt a sense of security in his heart...
I've already suffered such a loss, so this business probably won't cause another thunderstorm...
Wang Jing, who was originally terrified, was gradually comforted by this idea.
So then...
News of the real helmsman passed through the bustling city of Hangzhou, arrived at the dock, and followed the ship out to sea.
Across the ocean, we arrived in the vast fleet...
…
The fleet of the fifth surname Qi Wang is not controlled by Wang Jing, but by the family members of the fifth surname Qi Wangzhong.
These children come from a wealthy family that dominates the prefecture and county. Not only have they had no worries about food and clothing since they were young, but they can also be said to be well-dressed and well-fed, and even...
To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a bell-ringing meal.
Of course, a group of young people who grew up in this way could not be as virtuous as Wang Jing. Therefore, the hegemony of going to sea to explore the world was hindered by the poor sales of goods. Zheng Ling, Lu Wen and others, who were in despair, returned as soon as they received the news.
to Hangzhou.
After this return...
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of more than a month, Asmin harvested the second wave of sugar cane and carried out the second wave of cane sugar and cane wine production.
Of course, the growth cycle of sugar cane cannot be as short as one month, but Asmin is not a business novice who takes it step by step. After planting the first batch of sugar cane, she spent a month watching the growth.
There was no problem, so I planted the second batch immediately without waiting for harvest.
With the subcontinent's unique sunshine and rainfall, sugarcane grows rapidly. After one month, it is time to harvest the second batch of sugarcane.
At this time, the happiest thing for Asmin was not to harvest sugar cane, but that during this period she had recruited many people from Tianzhu to grow sugar cane for her - this Tianzhu can be said to be a purely alien land.
It's not objective. After all, there is still a Tianzhu royal family, but it is nonsense to say that there is more civilization. After all, there is not even the basic concept of property rights such as "ownership of the land"...
In short, Asmin's sugarcane planting was quite smooth because she attracted local people from Tianzhu. And because she attracted local people from Tianzhu, Asmin became more and more confident in the management of Mangbaicheng.
——If you can recruit people from Tianzhu to work, you can recruit people from Tianzhu to fight. The army of the King of Tianzhu will bring less military pressure!
But anyway, a month later, Asmin also started shipping for the second time, this time...
Talking back to the last shipment, Asmin directly distributed all the cane sugar and cane wine overseas.
The reason is also very simple. Asmin is a minister of the Hangzhou Industrial Zone and a minister of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Empire does not like foreign things...
Although Asmin didn't quite understand the mystery, it was not difficult to understand that in an extraordinary country like the Tang Empire, the people in the country were proud of their own things.
In short, Asmin was not very optimistic about the prospects of selling sugar and sugarcane wine within the Tang Empire.
But this second wave of shipments...
Seasonally, autumn is almost over, so Asmin also needs to make strategic adjustments.
It's very counterintuitive to say that. If you are traveling to the southern seaside, summer is the most enjoyable time. After all, the sun and the sea are a natural pair.
But in the commercial field, it is completely opposite. Winter is the real peak season for overseas trade!
The reason is simple, because there is a lot of rain and storms in summer, while the sea is much calmer in winter.
After all, the ships of this era are still wooden ships! The ability to withstand wind and waves has not improved at a fundamental level. Otherwise, Li Er would not be so entangled with the fleet heading east to explore the Americas. He would have sent troops to sail out long ago.
.
And since it is said that the maritime merchants of the Tang Empire will take advantage of this season to sail, then it is conceivable...
Above these four seas, all the continents along the routes are bound to usher in a commercial climax where goods suddenly become extremely abundant.
At this time, regardless of whether there would be strong competitors in sugar production and winemaking within the Tang Empire.
Just talking about all commodities, the "commodity" itself will consume the purchasing power of all continents.
Be it cane sugar or cane wine, these are things that even Asmin likes very much. The taste is first-rate and powerful, so the price is certainly not low... even though the cost of sugar cane is very low.
This kind of valuable consumer goods is just like Apple mobile phones. Small economic shocks will not affect Apple's sales. However, once the economic situation does have macro problems, this "light luxury" field will be the most affected.
Under such circumstances, Asmin certainly knew that the volume of goods that the overseas market could absorb would definitely decrease... But the total volume of the second batch of sugar cane planting was twice that of the first batch.
And because this is the second batch, the craftsmen and employees here are still more familiar with the craftsmanship of cane sugar and cane wine.
Therefore, the output and yield rate are also higher than before. In other words, the total shipment volume is about three times that of before...
In this case, then we have to ask about the plan? For Asmin, the answer is clear...
