Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 355, the brighter the color, the more valuable
"Tsk tsk, old Liu, this textile factory hasn't started to make money yet, but the Jingcheng Machinery Factory, which was just established, has made money first."

In Liu Jin's mansion in the capital, Zhu Hou looked at the order worth [-] taels of silver from Wang Shouren Caiyun Textile Factory, and couldn't help laughing.

Lao Liu's ability to make money really doesn't mean that he is leveraged, and with him, he will never worry about not having money.

"I've only made a few bucks, just watch, and soon there will be more orders pouring in like snowflakes."

Liu Jin smiled and said confidently that once the new spinning machines and looms come out, the entire textile industry will definitely be overturned, and sharks that smell like blood will surely come surging.

"Aren't you afraid that others will learn how to make this machine?"

Zhu Houzhao turned his small eyes slightly and thought about asking.

"There are some things that others will never learn."

Liu Jin said confidently that it is not impossible to manufacture the same spinning machine and loom, and it can still be done with Daming's skilled craftsmen.

But if you want every machine to be exactly the same, there is not much difference, the performance can be guaranteed, it is durable, and it can provide perfect after-sales service, this is not something you can learn casually.

The reason why Liu Jin wants to build a large school is to popularize basic education. Only when these things are firmly established can we say that we can truly realize industrialized manufacturing in the future.

If you don't realize this, even if you know the principle of the new spinning machine and can manufacture the same spinning machine, it is doomed not to take away its own market.

What's more, it doesn't matter if you learn it. Anyway, Liu Jin wants to promote the development of the entire Ming Dynasty towards capitalization and industrialization. If someone learns it, it means that he has successfully achieved this goal.

Machine manufacturing is very knowledgeable, just like the aero-engines of later generations, even if everyone knows this principle, even if you give you a sample, it is difficult for you to manufacture an equally powerful aero-engine, cost, life, thrust, etc. There will be huge gaps in all aspects, which is enough to show that mechanical manufacturing is definitely not so easy.

Relying on copycats alone is not enough.

"That's fine, anyway, Lao Liu, I can rest assured that you can do things."

"However, our textile factory has woven so much cloth, why don't we sell it and keep it in the warehouse?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, then asked after thinking about it.

"Of course it's to make more money."

"The cotton cloth we wove can only be sold for less than [-] Wen a piece now. If the quantity is more, it may be about [-] Wen a piece."

"But if we dye this cotton cloth with beautiful colors and patterns, its price will double, and a piece of cloth can easily be sold for more than one tael of silver."

"If we make these cloths into clothes and sell them, one piece of cloth can be made into many clothes, and its value can be doubled ten times, and it can be sold for ten taels of silver. What do you think? choose?"

Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

Liu Jin, the capital textile factory, does not plan to sell cloth directly. It is an advertisement in itself, letting everyone see the power of the new spinning machines and looms, and attracting everyone to buy their own machines.

Of course, since weaving has produced cloth, Liu Jin also intends to click on chemistry, which is actually closely related to the dyeing of cloth in the textile industry from the very beginning.

The ancient cloth is not as colorful as the cloth of the later generations. You can choose from various colors and styles. The brighter the color of the ancient cloth, the more expensive it is. The cheapest is white cloth.

One of the main reasons for this is that the ancient cloth dyeing technology was very backward, whether it was Ming Dynasty or Europe, or Central Asia, Arabia and other regions, it was the same.

Because the chemical technology is backward, it is difficult for everyone to dye brightly colored cloth, which is why people in the ancient court and high society like to use brightly colored cloth, because it is expensive and more beautiful, so that it can show own honorable status and status.

Bright colors such as purple, red, blue, green, etc. are difficult to color and preserve. In this era, only a very few places can produce limited cloth, and the use of it is also soil. Fa-dyed cloth, the color of this dye is far from that of later generations, and it is easy to fade.

But the price of these cloths is extremely expensive, and only the upper class can afford them.

Knowing this, Liu Jin will not be foolish enough to sell white cloth, but just to dye the color, with the golden finger, it will not be difficult for Liu Jin at all, and he can also click on chemistry, which is very powerful Yes, if you want the grassland people to be good at singing and dancing, you rely on guns and ammunition, the most important of which is gunpowder.

Once the chemical point is opened, it will be much easier to conquer the world in the future.

"Old Liu, you are amazing~ I have nothing to say."

After listening to Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao was speechless immediately. The same brain, why does Liu Jin's brain always have such a way to make money? For the same thing, he can just play all kinds of tricks.

"Brat, brat~"

Just when Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were chatting happily, a rough voice came, with a hint of anger in the voice.

There is no doubt that this must be the British Duke Zhang Mao.

I saw Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo walking in together, seeing Zhu Houzhao was also there, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Houzhao, after some pleasantries, Zhang Mao also got to the point and said: "Stinky boy, I have just been your matchmaker. Introduced two beauties who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, isn't it good for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"Mr. Zhang~"

Of course Liu Jin knew what Zhang Mao was talking about. He must have really learned about the new spinning machines and looms. He came here aggressively to ask his crimes. The meaning was very clear. I, Zhang, don't even take your brother-in-law with you, you are too mean.

"If there is a chance to make a fortune, I will definitely not forget you. I just want to find a time to chat with you."

"That's about the same. I don't want to talk nonsense. Give me a thousand sets of new spinning machines and looms."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Mao nodded in satisfaction, and then opened his mouth to order a thousand sets. He is really rich and powerful now, and the various industries he invests in are beginning to show blowout development. A lot of money is rolling in.

"No problem, I will give priority to supplying goods to Mr. Zhang, are you satisfied now?"

Liu Jin agreed immediately, a thousand sets of machines, a big order of almost one million taels of silver, Lao Zhang is rich and powerful, but it should be opened together with Dingguo Gongfu and Chengguo Gongfu, Lao Zhang It has always been like this.

"Hmm~"

Zhang Mao nodded in satisfaction.

He has been watching Liu Jin's every move, and he can't hide any troubles in the capital from him, so he is very aware of the power of this new textile machine and loom, and knows that this is another big money-making business.

"Mr. Zhang, Brother Xu, I have a really big deal here. I wonder if you are interested?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao and his brother-in-law Xu Guangzuo, and it happened that Zhu Houzhao was also there, so he could take this opportunity to discuss the matter of running a bank.

During this period of time, Liu Jin has also been making preparations, and there are no technical problems at all. Now it is only a matter of calling many big bosses to discuss and inject capital to start the operation.

"Big deal?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows. If Liu Jin can talk about a big deal, it must be a very profitable business. Without any hesitation, Zhang Mao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, you have a heart. It’s not in vain that I introduced two beauties to you.”

"I'm curious, brother Liu, what kind of deal is it that can make you talk about the big deal."

Xu Guangzuo smiled and nodded, full of curiosity.

"His Royal Highness and I are planning to open a bank. This bank is a bank in common sense, but it is not the same as a bank..."

Liu Jin thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts and words slightly, and slowly said about the bank.

Both Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo listened very carefully.

"This bank... the bank can make money?"

After listening to Liu Jin's talk, Zhang Mao still couldn't figure it out. After thinking about it, he still asked the question he was most concerned about.

"make money?"

"Once our bank is successfully established, we won't have to worry about money anymore."

Liu Jin smiled and said confidently.

"Okay, I'll follow. How much are you going to invest this time?"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Mao nodded solemnly. Anyway, he was sure, as long as Liu Jin said yes, then it would be fine, just follow Liu Jin.

"Because this bank needs a lot of money to operate, it requires a very large investment. At the beginning, I plan to raise [-] million taels of silver."

"Your Majesty has pledged two million taels, and His Highness has pledged five million taels. I will offer one million taels, and you can share the remaining two million taels."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, this bank must let the old Zhu's family take the lead. Without the thick legs of the old Zhu's family, it will fall down if others push it lightly in the later stage, so I can just take the small head.

"Ten million taels of silver!"

Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo looked at each other slightly, and both took a deep breath. This is still the initial stage, and no one knows how much they will invest in the later stage.

It is impossible to run a bank without strong capital. Liu Jin felt that ten million taels was too little. If he wanted to open branches in major cities throughout Ming Dynasty, this ten million taels would not be enough at all.

What's more, since it is a bank, it is impossible to do without a certain amount of reserves. If depositors come to withdraw money, if they can't get the money, something big will happen.

　For ancient cloth, the color is a bonus item, the more beautiful the color is, the more expensive it is~
