Lin Xu stopped asking, but Zhou Kui wanted to say it again.
First of all, during this period of time, Lin Xu was very generous when making friends with him, and often gave him some expensive gifts, but now he was half-talking, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Secondly, Zhou Changmin made it very clear in the secret letter to him, asking him to find ways to maintain the relationship with Lin Xu, but now he seems to be very wary of Lin Xu, which will definitely make Lin Xu
Xu felt unhappy!
Although this is just a small thing, it may lead to a qualitative change in the relationship between them!
So, he picked up the teapot and filled Lin Xu with water, and then smiled: "Actually, I have heard some rumors! If you are interested, sir, I can tell you about it, but these are just rumors, sir.
How about just treating it like a story and not taking it seriously?"
Lin Xu immediately saw through what Zhou Kui was thinking, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, I just want to hear it as a story, and I won't take it seriously."
"Sir, do you know why the imperial court implemented the policy of converting rice into mulberry?"
"I heard it's because the imperial court signed a large silk order with Nanyang merchants."
"Yes, this big order is for one million pieces of silk!"
Zhou Kui nodded and said, "Do you know, sir, how much a piece of silk can be sold for?"
"In Suzhou, the average price of a piece of silk is sixty taels of silver."
"Haha, sir, you are in the fabric business, so naturally this question will not trouble you. So, sir, do you know how much a piece of silk can be sold for in Nanyang?"
"I don't know about this. I have never done business with people from Nanyang!"
Lin Xu said frankly.
"Then let me tell you, sir, if you sell silk to Nanyang, the price can be doubled, preferably twelve taels of silver per bolt. Some of the best quality can even be sold for fifteen taels of silver per bolt!"
"
Zhou Kui sighed!
“Such a high profit!”
Lin Xu was a little surprised. Although he knew that selling fabrics to Nanyang would definitely make a huge profit, he didn't expect that the profits would be so huge!
"Yes, it is such a high profit! At present, the production cost price of a piece of silk is about three to forty taels of silver. Jiangnan Weaving Bureau purchases one million pieces of silk at a price of five taels of silver each, and then pays an equal price
We sell it to Nanyang merchants for thirteen taels of silver each! Sir, you can simply calculate how much profit this can generate in total!"
When he said these words, Zhou Kui's voice couldn't help but tremble!
Lin Xu stopped talking.
Originally, he actually looked down on the fabric business because he had too many exclusive businesses to do, but after hearing Zhou Kui's words, he greatly changed his view on the fabric business!
Especially silk!
This single business alone has a profit of nearly ten million taels!
No wonder Song Changji, with the support of Wang Hai, soared to the sky in just a few years and became the richest man in Jiangnan!
This kind of speed of making money is like turning on the money printing machine directly!
"Let me ask you another question, sir. Why did the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau purchase these silks and then resell them to Nanyang merchants, instead of the Ministry of Household Affairs purchasing and reselling them?" This chapter has been completed!
