Chapter 54 Vision
How to make a lot of money in Lingbiao? It’s very simple! Re-selling, buying and selling, and purchasing ivory, rhinoceros horns, tortoiseshell, coral, pearls, fragrant medicine and other rare treasures in Fanyu Port, Longbiao Port, and transporting them back to Huangzhou will be several times the profit.
Otherwise, it would be to acquire Shimi, purify the white sugar that is white, or further make it into rock sugar and sell it to Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei, and Henan, which would be huge profits.
But what Yuwen Wen wanted to know was not this answer, and what Li Hui wanted to say was not this answer. He exchanged glances with his companions, and when he saw everyone cheering him up, he spoke up about his own way.
Huangzhou Bu encountered "unaccomplishment in the environment" in Lingbiao, but Huangzhou merchants wanted to make a lot of money in Lingbiao, but the breakthrough was still related to Bu.
Huangzhou's textile industry, thanks to the application of hydraulic textile machines, has taken the lead in significantly reducing costs, but such an advantage cannot last too long, because hydraulic textiles will become popular sooner or later, so the cloth shops in Huangzhou have already prepared for the future, that is, printing and dyeing.
Whether it is human or hydraulic power, the fabrics woven are plain. If you want to have colorful cloths, you have to dye the cloth. If you want to have various colorful patterns on the cloth, you have to print. The two are collectively called printing and dyeing.
Huangzhou has never been famous for printing and dyeing, but with the strong support of Yuwen Wen, Huangzhou cloth house and affiliated dyeing workshops began to master better printing and dyeing technologies than other places. The key is dyes and dye aids.
The initial dyes and dye aids were all in the hands of Yuwen Wen. With the development and growth of the textile industry, some workshop owners gradually obtained the formula through "bidding".
Then everyone kept thinking about it on this basis, then exchanged experiences and lessons with each other, and slowly developed more printing and dyeing formulas. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, there was no special Wuzhuang Temple, which played a big role.
Wuzhuang Temple is located in Xiyang City and has collected a large number of elixir recipes. These elixir recipes are not reliable for refining elixirs in immortality, but they often have unexpected surprises when thinking about using them in other industries. Huangzhou cloth shop and affiliated dyeing shops are one of the beneficiaries.
After years of hard work, Huangzhou Bufang's printing and dyeing capabilities have left other places far behind.
Therefore, this is the key to Huangzhou merchants making a lot of money in Lingbiao.
"The king, Caomin has inquired about it in Fanyu, Longbian and Linyi Port. Among the goods transported by Fanzhou merchants and seas, there is a very popular cargo, that is, dyes, such as indigo..."
The more Li Hui spoke, the more confident he became. He began to explain his observations during this period, that is, the area where the large amount of cloth produced was produced was very huge, and the demand for dyes was very large.
Take indigo as an example. Every year when arriving in Longbian and Fanyu's Fans, a large amount of indigo indigo will be transported, and no matter how many ships are shipped, they will be sold out. The cloth shops in various places need a large amount of outbound purchase of indigo and other dyes to dye.
This is a huge business opportunity, because Huangzhou can produce various dyes, and their types and quality are no worse than those imported from Tianzhu!
Dyes are derived from plant pigments. Some dyes are rare in the Central Plains, so the dyes made from them must be purchased from outside. However, some dye plants are very common in the Central Plains. The reason why the dyes produced are not dyed well is nothing more than the process of making dyes and the dyeing process.
I dare not say that the dye production and printing and dyeing technology of Huangzhou cloth house is the best in the world, but it is certain that I have a unique skill. Therefore, the financial way Li Hui and others have figured out is to sell dyes to Lingbiao.
They inquired from Longbian and Linyi Port from many sources and roughly estimated the profits of selling dyes and found that it was profitable. Because the textile industry of Lingbiao was developed, Huangzhou cloth might have poor sales, but on the other hand, it had a huge demand for dyes.
Therefore, we have to purchase a large amount of raw materials, make dyes in Huangzhou, and then sell them to Lingbing for sale. The profit of such a transaction is no lower than that of previous cloth transactions.
Similarly, the plain-colored Huangzhou water-woven fabric may not be sold in Lingbei, but the Huangzhou colored cloth and flower cloth that are relatively resistant to washing and not fading can have a good sales trend in Lingbei, because the local dyed colored cloth and flower cloth are definitely not as durable as it is.
Therefore, Huangzhou cloth shop does not have to worry about the woven cloth being sold on the ridge surface. It is just adding dyeing and printing steps.
"Well, it's really worth it to have such a vision."
Yuwen Wen admired Li Hui and others' vision because this is his plan. He wanted to open up new markets for cloth and dyeing workshops in Huangzhou and even adjacent areas. It is not enough to focus on the Central Plains. The vast Lingbiao area is a fertile land to be developed.
"I have said many times that if you want to make a lot of money, it is the most cost-effective to buy low and sell high to be a middleman, but it is difficult for others to benefit from such behavior. However, the workshops in Huangzhou are different. While the owner makes money, many people also benefit from it."
"Everyone has seen the changes in Huangzhou in recent years. Huangzhou cloth has gradually gained fame, but this is not enough, because hydraulic textiles will sooner or later become popular. Without the price advantage, Huangzhou cloth can only maintain its advantages by printing and dyeing."
"But how long can this advantage last? No one knows that there is no airtight wall in the world. Maybe the secret of printing and dyeing will be stolen on one day. What should we do when the time comes? What should we do if the owner of the workshop, what should we do? What should we do if the workers and the workers they hire?"
"Huangzhou's popularity is condensed by workshops and breeding farms. After the workshops and breeding farms are finished, people's hearts will disperse. Do you still remember the dilapidated Xiyang City that was in the past?"
Li Hui and her companions nodded. They grew up in Xiyang since childhood. Of course, they remembered the dilapidated appearance of Xiyang City back then. Compared with today's Xiyang City, it was a world of difference. No one wanted to go back to the past.
"So I want to open up a new market for Huangzhou workshops, so where is this market? It is in the smoky land!"
"When it comes to Lingbiao, others are disgusted when they hear it. At most, they think of Lai Fanyu purchasing overseas treasures and transporting them back to the Central Plains to resell. But in fact, they have narrow vision, because in addition, there are many transactions that can make a lot of money, so as long as they seize this market, the merchants in Huangzhou can be invincible!"
"Selling cloth and dyes alone is not enough. What else do you think of? Let's hear it."
Seeing Yuwen Wen affirming his opinion, Li Hui was very excited and spoke freely with her companions. Before, it was just a bold idea they had conceived in private, and now it is fully revealed.
Lingbiao is always said to be a place where people can transform themselves, but in fact, the liars living on this vast land are not all savages who eat raw meat and drink blood. They also have to wear clothes and eat. What surprised Li Hui and others was that the yield of leek and hemp on Lingbiao was beyond their expectations.
Even in Jiaozhou, there are many places to plant kudzu and hemp. It is precisely because of so many raw materials that the textile industry in Lingbiao Jiaoguang is very developed.
With the popularity of hydraulic textiles, Huangzhou, located at the junction of Shannan and Huainan, the competition faces increasing. This means that the cost of acquiring lemons will become higher and higher, because there will be a large number of acquisitions in other places, resulting in a shortage of supply of lemons and lemons.
Therefore, Huangzhou cloth house should be more focused on its vision. Lingbiao will not only become a market for selling Huangzhou cloth, but also become the source of the pilosula and pilosula needed for Huangzhou cloth. So what should we do?
"The king has already won the hearts of the three nobles of Feng Xian, Chen and Ning clans. I hope that with their help, our Huangzhou merchants will be able to get there first."
"Caomin thinks that Huangzhou cloth can be dumped on a large scale into the Lingbei. As long as you don't lose money or even lose small money, you can first squeeze out local colored cloth with colored cloth, and then sell vegetarian cloth to squeeze out all the small handmade cloth workshops in Guangzhou and its surrounding areas!"
"At that time, we will acquire the leek and erine produced in Lingbiao on a large scale at a reasonable price and transport it back to Huangzhou textile fabric. Even if the cost increases significantly due to the long journey, as long as the leek and erine are sufficient, we can still control the cost."
"The caravans that acquire Ge and Ma in various places in Lingbiao can also acquire Lingbiao specialties such as Shimi and sell goods from Huangzhou. In this way, part of the high freight incurred by transporting Ge and Ma can be offset, which can also reduce costs."
"And a huge trade route that travels north and south of Dayu Ling and goes deep into the ridge is in the hands of merchants in Huangzhou. With this trade route, merchants can also make money in other workshops."
"This is just for land. If we can cooperate with Feng Xian's family and use their fleet to open sea routes between Huangzhou Xiyang, Jiangzhou Shangkou, Jiangnan Jiankang, Yangzhou Guangling, Fengzhou Hou'an, Guangzhou Fanyu, the transportation cost will be greatly reduced."
"Caomin and a few others have roughly calculated the cost and think that even if it is land transportation, this approach is very feasible. As long as you master the supply of Lingbei Ge and Ma, you can be invincible in the future textile competition."
"If possible, the price of purified cloth can be reduced to small profits and quick turnover. The price of colored cloth remains unchanged. With sufficient tangerine and hemp raw materials as a backing, the textile cost of Huangzhou cloth shop can be controlled smoothly. As long as the price is kept at low prices for several years, not many cloth shops in the surrounding area can last for a few years!"
Speaking of this, several young people were so excited that their faces turned red. Before they could talk about this idea to their Aye, they explained it all at this time, just to know if they could win the favor of King Xiyang.
They are all concubines in their families, and the most abundant part of their family business is that they have no hope of inheriting it. The family resources are limited and it is impossible to support them in the army to make achievements, so they can only rely on themselves.
But I always follow Aye and be timid. When can I stand up again?
"Pai Papa Papa Papa" Yuwen Wen clapped his hands and looked at the young people in front of him with interesting interest. The other party's vision was beyond his expectations, but this was not enough.
"It's right, but is that all your eyes?!"
After hearing Yuwen Wen's question, Li Hui and others were stunned at first, and then excited:
"King! Cao people think that no matter how good the linen is, it is not as good as Jibeibu, so Huangzhou Bufang should send someone to Lingbing to Jiaoguang and even Yazhou to learn Jibei's textile technology."
