After hearing his question, Yi Zhizu was a little surprised. Even if the other party admitted that what he said was reasonable, the Qingying would have a war because the court implemented a ban on smoking. However, as the actual helmsman of the Thirteen ranks, his first reaction should be how to prevent the war from happening, rather than asking him what he had plans? In a second thought, he realized that the other party did not believe it at all!

After thinking about this, he was a little helpless. After so much effort, the other party still didn't believe it. How can he say this so that the other party can believe it?

After a while of silence, Yi Zhizuo said slowly: "In recent years, the civil strife of the Qing Dynasty has been endless and the national treasury is empty. Once a war breaks out with Britain, the local treasury will inevitably intensify the turmoil and the national treasury will inevitably become more empty. The chaos in the world is probably not far away.

In a chaotic world, it is both a disaster and an opportunity for merchants. Guangzhou lost its position of trading in one go, and the thirteen industries that monopolized the Qing Dynasty's foreign trade naturally disappeared, but maritime trade and foreign trade will not decline, but will flourish because of war.

This is a great thing for the Thirteen Industry Businessmen. The Thirteen Industry can die, but the Guangzhou Public Administration (the business organization established by the Thirteen Industry Businessmen) should not be dissolved accordingly.

The younger generation believes that as long as the Thirteen-industry traders continue to form a group, they can not only survive and gain a foothold in this troubled times, but also develop rapidly and become a huge existence as the British East India Company….”

Becoming a behemoth like the British East India Company? Wu Bingjian was moved by it again. This kid has such a big ambition!

Wu Changqing gasped and looked at Yi Zhizu foolishly. The British East India Company had its own territory, its own army, and its own merchant fleet. It was comparable to a behemoth of an empire. What level could the Thirteen Lines reach?

Soon, Wu Bingjian calmed down and said unmovedly: "Do you want to save Xingtaixing?"

Why did you ask this? Although Yi Zhizu was a little strange, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, for Yan Shikuan's sake, I will not let Xingtaixing go bankrupt. Pinghu Gong does not need to worry. I already have a proper way to save Xingtaixing."

After hearing this, Wu Changqing's eyes almost fell out. Xingtai Bank owed more than 2 million yuan in foreign debts. This guy bluntly said that there was a way to save it. How to save it? Even if you can't even get the tens of thousands of oceans from Jianyi School, you still talk about saving Xingtai Bank? What to save it? Can you save it with your mouth? This is a real money and silver for foreign businessmen!

Wu Bingjian was also very surprised. He originally thought that Yi Zhizu proposed that the Thirteenth Businessmen join forces to encourage the Pan family of the Wu family to save Xingtai. Therefore, he asked this question, but unexpectedly he got such an unexpected answer.

He looked at Yi Zhizu in disbelief. This little guy came to blackmail his house for a mere 400,000 businessman's owed money for his Futaixing ten days ago. Now he dares to say bluntly that he can save Xingtaixing, which is owed more than 2 million yuan in debt?

When he stared at Yi Zhizu and Zu Youyi, Wu Bingjian couldn't help but say curiously: "How to save Xingtai Xing, can you tell me?"

Yi Zhizu smiled, took out his pocket watch and lit it, and said, "I am preparing to acquire and merge all the watch workshops in Guangzhou to build a large watch factory, which mainly focuses on producing pocket watches. I am able to improve the quality of pocket watches, at least better than Western watches, and it can also significantly reduce the production cost of pocket watches and increase the output of pocket watches.

According to the survey of juniors, such a broad watch workshop is forty-five yuan for sale to shops, the shop is forty-five yuan, and the production cost of the workshop is forty yuan. Juniors are confident that they will control the cost to 30 yuan, or even lower, but the quality is better.

As for the output, it should not be difficult to make an annual production of more than 10,000 yuan within three years. The annual profit will not be less than 200,000 yuan. In addition to Xingtai Bank's own commercial profit, it should not be difficult to repay 400,000 yuan per year. In this way, can Xingtai Bank be saved?"

Nowadays, the Wu family just wants to escape from the Thirteen Heroes, and has long lost its early ambition. Xingtaixing went bankrupt and went bankrupt. For the Wu family, it is harmful and useless. Wu Bingjian naturally does not want Xingtaixing to go bankrupt.

If Xingtai Bank can repay 400,000 yuan per year, there is no reason to go bankrupt. Not to mention 400,000 yuan, as long as Xingtai Bank can repay 200,000 yuan per year, the Wu family will work hard to prevent Xingtai Bank from going bankrupt. This can save at least 500,000 silver dollars for the Wu family. Why not support it?

Wu Changqing asked stupidly: "Brother Yi's watch factory can really make 200,000 yuan a year?"

Annual profit of 200,000 yuan is just a gimmick. Even if a pocket watch has a profit of 20 yuan, the annual output of pocket watches will have to be tens of thousands of yuan to achieve an annual profit of 200,000 yuan.

With a production of over 10,000 in three years, Yi Zhizu is simply bragging. In fact, he has no idea at all. After all, he has never started an industry and has no experience at all. It would be strange if he has a foundation!

Although he was unsure, Yi Zhizu dared to brag. The reason was very simple. The major merchants in the Thirteenth League did not want to see Xingtai Bank go bankrupt. What they need now is just a reason. The watch workshop he is about to build is definitely a good reason, which can at least allow everyone to see the hope that Xingtai Bank can pay off the debt by relying on itself.

Yi Zhizu thought Wu Bingjian would not be so serious, but he didn't expect Wu Changqing would be so serious. He said everything, but he still refused to admit it. At the moment, he could only grit his teeth and said: "Annual profit of 200,000 is not a difficult thing. It may be difficult to achieve at the beginning of creation. In three to five years, there will be no problem."

"Do you have to wait three to five years?" Wu Changqing said heartlessly, his tone full of disdain.

Yi Zhizu was stabbed by him and couldn't help but say, "The Tianbao watch factory I founded is different from the existing watch workshops in Guangzhou. It uses flow operations... Don't underestimate the handmade factory, Changqing, it may be slower when it starts, but it will develop rapidly in three to five years. By then, it will be easy to make an annual production of over 10,000 yuan, and it is not difficult to make it.

Pocket watches themselves have an extremely broad market. In the first ten years, there was absolutely no need to consider sales. In addition, we can not only sell them in the Qing Dynasty, but also sell them to Southeast Asia, India, the United States, and even counter-sell them to Europe. By then, an annual profit of 2 million will not be difficult."

When he heard that his Tianbao watch factory had such great potential, Wu Changqing's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: "Then I'll make a profit."

Yi Zhizu was stunned. Although he did not have the funds to build the watch factory, he had already planned to make the money to Xingtai. He never thought that the watch factory would buy the shares because he knew very well how good the prospect of the Tianbao watch factory he was about to build was. He subconsciously looked at Wu Bingjian. This was obviously a temporary decision by Wu Changqing and could not represent the Wu family.
