Chapter 1648 Lu Jiaju Is Still Useful

"I'm going to tell Fujii and the German Ned that we're going to buy a new machine. This kind of machine is available in Germany and Japan. The two of them will definitely lower the price in order to grab business, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Already!" Shen Long pulled Sun Mingzu and said, "If you, Yuan Heng, want to buy one, then it will be even better to lower the price!"

"Hey, have you seen this? This is the latest type of roller machine. There are only two sets in Modu in China. If you get it, this is the only one in Qingdao. This machine requires fewer people, occupies a small space, and is very fast. , after using it, not only the dyeing speed is faster, but the cost can also be reduced, why don’t you buy one too?” This is a good thing, and I don’t tell ordinary people.

"This thing is good, but we haven't used it? And it costs a lot of money, right?" Sun Mingzu hesitated again.

"Hehe, opening a factory is no better than farming. If others use it, it will be too late for us to use it! Qingdao used to dye cloth by hand, and Chairman Sun took the lead in dyeing cloth with machines, which made him a huge profit." My Yuanheng, why are you conservative now?" Shen Long patted him on the shoulder, "As for the money, I've done the math, it shouldn't be much, and the whole set must be less than 10,000 oceans."

Sun Mingzu's mouth twitched, can we not mention this Wan Dayang thing? This is my money. I feel sorry for using my money to buy machines for you Dahua.

Lu Jiaju is happy. When he bought Dahua, he only spent 10,000 yuan. How long has it been now? The cost has been fully recovered. If the cloth sold before is counted, Dahua has already started to make a net profit! This is faster than robbery! It's the right business.

"It's better to forget it, and you know that Yuan Heng lost such a large sum of money before, and now the account is not rich, so let's wait a while before thinking about the new machine!" Sun Mingzu finally did not agree.

Shen Long didn't insist either. As a partner, I have fulfilled my obligation. If you don't agree, it's your business. So he approached Fujii and Ned from Deutsche Matheson and told him that he wanted to buy a roller machine.

The two immediately fought for the deal, and in the end Fujii had the upper hand. He sent inquiry letters to Mitsubishi, Shusan Machine Company, and Nippon Machine Company, and selected the most favorable price from them, even without adding much profit. It was sold to Dahua; as for the reason, it was not Fujii's good deeds.

As soon as Dahua's production scale expands, he can sell more gray fabrics, which is the biggest profit. How much money can he make by selling a machine? Of course, he would not lose the big because of small things; secondly, this is a competition with the Germans, and Fujii would rather not make money than let the Germans make money.

The third is that the government will pay attention to him and provide assistance to his activities in China only if he increases his trading volume. At the same time, local Japanese companies do not understand the Chinese market and always want to sell their products to China. He couldn't find a good agent. The order for this set of equipment is proof of Fujii's strength and can bring him more orders.

After the machine was shipped from Japan, it was immediately installed and debugged. Shen Long also made some modifications to the machine to make the machine more efficient. In this way, even if someone bought the same machine, it would not be as big as it is. Hua Dye Factory.

What's even more rare is that when Shen Long was installing and debugging the machine, Lu Jiaju actually came. He watched Shen Long fiddle with it for a long time, and then wondered if this scene reminded him of the years when he was studying in Germany, so he went to the warehouse Li took out the Heidelberg printing machine from the original factory and tried to study it.

"I said, don't you know how to operate a printing machine? Let's start tinkering with it now?" Shen Long was also quite relieved. Lu Jiaju was an international student after all, so it would be a waste to only ask him to entertain big customers.

"I don't know how to drive, but I understand the principle. I can do it after studying and keeping it!" Although Lu Jiaju is an international student,

But like the vast majority of scholars today, they only like to use their mouths and don’t like to use their hands. After all, the idea of ​​​​"those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will rule others" has lasted for too long in this land. This problem did not happen overnight. can be changed.

He also saw Shen Long often working on the front line, so he changed slightly, "Sixth brother, what do you think of us making floral cloth? Is this business profitable?"

This is due to the fact that Lu Jiaju has just graduated and has not forgotten the things he learned in Germany. If you go to Jinan in the future, he will have forgotten all these things. Then you will let him think about it Don't count on these.

The so-called printing is printing and dyeing patterns on the gray cloth at high temperature. The cloth produced has various patterns and is more beautiful than monochrome cloth. Loved by people, it is used as a must-have item for dowry bedding and clothes.

Nowadays, there are also workshops for hand-printing and dyeing patterns in various places. When making the production, first soak the white cloth in water, mix it with bean flour and gypsum to make a paste, use hard oil paper to make plates, engrave patterns of flowers, birds, insects, and fish, and spread the plates. Print on white cloth with a scraper, put it into a dyeing tank for washing and dyeing, and peel off the attachments on the pattern after drying in the shade.

It's just that the process is complicated, and the printed cloth produced is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it; if it is printed by machine, the cost will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, so there is still a market.

Shen Long said this again, "Now the domestic calico market is occupied by Shanghai, and the cost of transporting calico from Shanghai to the north for sale will be high, so as long as we can produce printed cloth Bu, you can make money for sure! If you want to do it, I support you, but then you probably won't have time to hook up with girls!"

"Sixth brother, look at what you said! It seems that I am just a dandy who only knows how to spend money and drink!" Besides, isn't Fei Cui coming to Qingdao soon? When he comes over, I'll have the nerve to do these things again.

"However, Sixth Brother, this printing is not the same as dyeing cloth; for dyeing cloth, if the blue dye is ruined, we change it to black, but if the printing cloth is ruined, the cloth will be useless; especially for multi-color overprinting, a total of There are fifteen or sixteen processes, four or five sets of color plates, and it is troublesome to go up and down again and again; I only learned it from books before, and if we really want to do it, we have to go to Germany to hire some skilled hands to operate the machine!" Lu Jiaju is rare. seriously.

"It's okay. Germany has just lost a battle, and the people are living in hardship. As long as you are willing to spend money, you won't have to worry about hiring people!" Shen Long stretched out his hand and patted Lu Jiaju on the shoulder, "Jiaju, as long as you really want to Do something, it’s nothing to lose at the beginning.”
