In Tang Dongdong's opinion, the spinning wheel in front of her was already amazing, but Jin Feng told her that it could continue to improve.
This made her heart beat faster and asked: "How much can the speed increase after the improvement?"
"It's hard to say. There are too many things involved."
Jin Feng couldn't help but recall the scene of visiting a textile factory when he was in school.
The textile machine, which is more than a hundred meters long, is full of shuttles flying back and forth. Compared with the spinning wheel in front of you, it is a child's toy.
But with the current industrial level of Dakang, it is just a dream to make such a textile machine.
Power, production materials, craftsmanship, etc. are all problems. I'm afraid Jin Feng may not be able to succeed even if he spends his whole life working on it.
"What's involved?"
Tang Dongdong continued to investigate.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I have answered so many of your questions. Shouldn't you also answer my questions?"
It was difficult for Jin Feng to explain industrial issues to Tang Dongdong, so he changed the topic: "Are you going to sell the spinning wheel directly, or find someone to invest money to open a workshop?"
"You would be a fool to sell such a good treasure..."
"So, are you taking me for a fool?"
"Well……"
Tang Dongdong knew that he had said the wrong thing, and rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "How about we jointly open a workshop, and I guarantee that both you and Sister Xiaorou will live a wealthy life."
"I have a spinning wheel, but you are so poor that you can't even pay taxes, so why should you partner with me?"
"I can take care of the workshop,"
Tang Dongdong said confidently: "I know where the cheapest kudzu is, and I also know where it is most cost-effective to spin it into thread and sell it into cloth. Do you know these?"
"It seems you know a lot about the textile industry."
Jin Feng shook his head in a bachelor manner.
He could improve the spinning wheel, but he really didn't know anything about what Tang Dongdong said.
"Of course, three generations of our family have been in the textile business. If it hadn't been for my father..."
At this point, Tang Dongdong suddenly stopped talking, sniffed, and looked up at Jin Feng: "Anyway, I can guarantee you that if you give me the spinning wheel, you and sister Xiaorou can live a good life."
"Everyone can make empty promises. Just tell me what your plans are."
When he learned that Tang Dongdong came from a textile family, Jin Feng immediately became interested.
But he did not agree immediately, nor did he refuse, but was prepared to listen to Tang Dongdong's thoughts first.
"Originally, I planned to take the spinning wheel to the city and find a partnership with my father's former friends, so that I could make money quickly, but those old guys are all smart people, and our family is in trouble, they will definitely keep the price down. So we
I won’t say any more.”
"Well, just tell me how you plan to partner with me."
Jin Feng didn't want to bother scheming with a bunch of old guys.
"I just did some calculations. This kind of spinning wheel can spin thread five to six times faster than the previous spinning wheel. My sister Xiaorou and I will keep spinning in shifts for up to ten days. The money we earn can buy wood and make another spinning wheel.
, then I can hire two female workers, even if their wages are deducted, for up to fifteen days, I can make another spinning wheel with the money I earn, and then hire two more female workers.
In this way, within a year at most, we can become the largest workshop in Jinchuan!"
Tang Dongdong stared at Jin Feng with bright eyes: "What do you think?"
To be honest, Jin Feng was moved.
Although the model Tang Dongdong mentioned is simple, it is very effective. The primitive accumulation of most capitalists in the world comes from this.
It may be difficult in the early stage, but once you get on the right track, you can become a hands-off shopkeeper and make money while staying at home.
He has the skills, and Tang Dongdong has the channels and experience in managing workshops. The two of them can make up for each other's shortcomings, so the cooperation is perfect.
"Then how to divide the accounts?"
Brothers will settle accounts clearly, and it is best to discuss the matter of dividing accounts in advance to avoid confusion later.
The spinning machine is mine, and I will have to rely on me to improve it in the future. Xiaorou will also participate in spinning in the early stage...
Jin Feng silently calculated his bargaining chips in his mind and decided to strive for the greatest benefit.
But who knew that Tang Dongdong shook his head and said, "We won't divide the accounts!"
"No splitting of accounts? What do you mean?"
"I will marry you as my concubine. There is no need to divide the accounts."
"Ahem!"
Jin Feng was stimulated by Tang Dongdong's words and coughed violently.
Isn’t it said that women in the feudal period were very reserved?
Why is it that each one I meet is tougher than the other?
My wife, who has only been in the house for a few days, just talks about taking a concubine for me every day, and now here comes another one who comes to take a concubine for me?
Are the folk customs of Dakang so open?
Guan Xiaorou, who was standing aside, looked surprised: "Dongdong, have you finally figured it out? Great, let's go to Grandma Wu's house to get your things..."
"Wait a moment!"
Jin Feng pulled Guan Xiaorou and looked at Tang Dongdong: "Why?"
Guan Xiaorou married herself because she was forced to have no other choice.
But Tang Dongdong obviously has not reached this stage.
Why is she so anxious to get married?
Do you have a crush on yourself?
Jin Feng has not yet reached this level of narcissism.
Tang Dongdong must have other reasons.
"Sister Xiaorou said that you are a scholar, never hit women, and are a tiger-fighting hero. You are the most suitable husband in the nearby villages. Isn't it normal for me to want to marry you?"
Tang Dongdong asked rhetorically.
"I want to hear the truth."
"This is the truth."
Tang Dongdong said: "Even if I can save enough for next year's taxes, I won't be able to save enough for the year after next, so I have to get married sooner or later. Instead of marrying a rough guy in the village, I might as well marry you."
"Forget it, you just don't want to say it."
Jin Feng patted his butt and walked towards the door.
When he was about to reach the door, there was a sigh from behind, and then Tang Dongdong said: "Okay, I admit, there are other reasons why I want to marry you."
"That's pretty much it." Jin Feng turned around and said, "Tell me what the reason is."
"I want to revive my family's industry and defeat the Zhou family."
Tang Dongdong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Which Zhou family?"
Jin Feng searched through the host's memory and met a man named Zhou.
He is also from Xihewan Village and lives opposite Zhang Liang's house.
But the man from this family died on the battlefield the year before last, leaving only a ten-year-old daughter. He was definitely not the Zhou family that Tang Dongdong mentioned.
“The largest cloth merchant in the county—Zhou Changlin!”
Tang Dongdong said word for word.
"If you want to defeat the Zhou family, what does it have to do with marrying me?"
Jin Feng was even more puzzled.
"You just said clearly that the spinning wheel can be improved, but then you didn't mention it at all, so I know you don't trust me.
The spinning wheel is yours, and I've told you how to do it. You can kick me out and do it yourself. In this case, I won't get anything.
Moreover, if the partners are not focused, it will be difficult for the business to grow. Only by marrying you can I gain your trust and your support, and the workshop can grow as quickly as possible."
Tang Dongdong smiled bitterly and said: "This is what I think. If you still don't believe it, then there is nothing I can do."
