"Okay! These days, I will take the time to go out and check out the market situation. I have to stand up and really watch carefully!" After Lu Siyong replied, he asked the stall owner and the others to continue eating. Recently, this
In the past few days, he had asked many regular customers for their opinions. Whoever said something reasonable had to be considered before speaking.
After dinner, we went to the back shed of Lujia Foot Shop and took a nap for half an hour. Ma Chenghai and others got up, set up their cars, and started on their way.
"Ma Tou, you said that the railway is open, will it have any impact on us drivers? Will our livelihood be ruined?" Back on the official road, my colleagues started chatting.
"It has an impact, why not? When the railway is completed, most of us who take the official route will have to travel short distances. From the prefecture to the county and the countryside, hauling goods and the like will probably be our job in the future.
No matter how hard it is now, you can travel thousands of miles in one trip. But it’s good to take a short distance because it’s convenient for taking care of your family.” It has always been a common problem in the industry for car drivers to not take care of their families, but a short journey is better than a long one. Ma Chenghai
People like this who have become a family naturally want to go home frequently to avoid having their heads turn green!
"Running short distances? Isn't that making less money?"
"I haven't seen that before! Once the railway is opened, there will be more goods to be hauled. Traveling short distances does not necessarily mean that you will earn less. Those who work in our profession do not care about the length of the road, but how much they can live."
"Now that the railway is open, why do we have to haul more cargo? The amount of cargo probably has nothing to do with whether the railway is open, right? Maybe because the railway transports more cargo, our work will be less." The accomplice said.
I don't understand Machenghai's logic. Why would the total volume of freight increase if an expressway is opened?
"You kid, you are so stupid. Without railways, some goods cannot be pulled out, so they will naturally not be transported. With railways, things from the Central Plains can be transported to the capital more easily, and things from the capital will also be transported more conveniently.
In the Central Plains, everything that was originally unlucky would be carried on the train. Think about how rich the capital and Beizhi are? Can’t we buy everything in the countryside wherever we transport it?" Ma Chenghai actually didn't understand much about this.
It makes sense, but the phenomenon he observed is that with the railway transportation volume will only increase, but there will be no shortage of work.
"What Ma Tou said makes sense, just like the eucommia gum we recently transported from Nanyang to Yanzhou! This thing used to be used in drug stores, and I don't know what happened in Beijing. Truckloads of it came in.
Let farmers in Nanyang and nearby plant a large number of crops and harvest as much as they can. People in the capital won't eat this thing, right?" Eucommia gum can be used as a substitute for rubber. In order to start the rubber industry as soon as possible, Zhu Youjian started from last year.
From the beginning, the uterine delivery system was asked to go to the Central Plains to purchase Eucommia gum in large quantities. This year, the amount of glue shipped from Nanyang was relatively large. For a while, people at the car dealership were still confused as to what the uterine delivery department was buying this thing for!
The process of refining Eucommia gum into a rubbery state is relatively complicated and will not be completed for a while. It is estimated that it will take several years to complete. But this does not prevent the layout of the entire industry in advance! Zhu Youjian's idea is to spend money to collect it first.
Raw materials, thereby cultivating the origin of raw materials, and once the rubber technology is completed, seamless connection can be achieved. If we wait for the technology to be completed before solving the problem of raw materials, we will really be late. It is not something that grows from the ground.
If you say you can, you can have it.
With the current amount of Eucommia trees in the Central Plains, it doesn’t cost much to collect gum in a year, which is something that can be done with dozens of taels of silver dollars. If harvested in large quantities for three to five years, the amount of gum trees will increase significantly. By that time
Technically, it's almost done, it's just right.
As long as rubber can come out, Zhu Youjian knows that it will be a raw material that will instantly ignite the consumer market. Demand will increase significantly in a short period of time, and the impact on the raw material supply chain is foreseeable. The rubber that has just come out will be used for hoses and tires.
It's laborious, but making soles is possible, right? Military shoes are the most consumed military clothing every year. Normally, a pair of military shoes is scrapped after less than two months of wear. The phenomenon of soldiers wearing out shoes has not been solved yet!
In recent years, the Governor's Office of the Hou Army has begun to think of ways to popularize leather shoes in the army. The durability of leather shoes is better than cloth shoes and straw sandals. However, leather shoes can only solve the problem of the uppers, and the soles are still the same. The cloth soles wear out too quickly.
, Wooden soles and iron palms can solve the problem of wear and tear, but they are uncomfortable and flexible to wear and cannot walk. If rubber soles can be made, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved.
Take the amount of Eucommia gum now received in the library. It is estimated that it is not enough to make shoe soles for hundreds of thousands of troops. After replacing the soles of the military's shoes, should the soles of the officials' shoes be replaced? Do the common people use rubber soles for their shoes? Just
To meet the demand for shoe soles, there are quite a few Eucommia trees that need to be planted!
"It doesn't matter what the people in the capital are doing selling glue, as long as we guys can haul the goods. By the way, the people in Nanyang who have gum trees have become famous. They can catch up with the good thing of picking up money from the mountains. You are like us
The thermos we brought this time is such an expensive product, and the people over there don’t hesitate to ask for it!” Chunjiang Plumbing Duck predicts whether the market is good or not, and walking people can easily feel it.
Generally speaking, the market situation in the entire Central Plains this year is good, but the market situation in Nanyang and other places where rubber is produced is even better. In detail, the total annual market output value of the entire rubber industry is only three to four hundred thousand taels of silver dollars. But this is purely pure
The net profit increase has a low threshold for ordinary people to participate and covers a wide area. As long as there are trees, every household can benefit from it.
An extra one or two taels of silver dollars out of thin air has a huge impact on the lives of ordinary people. One or two taels of silver dollars cannot buy a house or property, but they can buy cloth, a thermos, an enamel jar, and an oil lamp.
The people in Guangdong who suddenly had a huge amount of wealth quickly converted it into purchasing power and purchased large quantities of daily necessities and production tools that they thought would be used for a long time. As for items for enjoyment, they were not considered.
The rubber flows from the place of origin to the capital, and the industrial products from the capital flow back to the place of origin. A simple business cycle is formed. Gradually, due to the expansion of transportation scale, more and more things enter this cycle system.
. Nanyang’s tea, Nanyang’s lacquer, Nanyang’s wood and other specialties followed this trade route and entered the capital and Beizhi market.
The power of the positive cycle is very powerful. What was obviously a matter of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, through the leverage of the business cycle, became a big move of more than a million silver dollars. That is why car dealers like Ma Chenghai,
This created a feeling that the market conditions in Nanyang were very good.
For now, if a local economy wants to develop, it must be driven by advantageous industries. Without advantageous industries, the business cycle system will be weak, and the transportation cost of local products exported will be much higher. The consumer market
The scale of the economy cannot increase, and naturally it will not be able to form a large-scale positive economic cycle.
