Chapter 28 The Power of Industry

"My dear brother, I miss you so much." Yuan Zhao jumped out all of a sudden, good guy, I haven't seen you for a while, and he jumped to the seventh floor of the Qi refining stage.

Shangguan Yong bumped Yuan Zhao away with his shoulder, "My dear brother, let my brother have a look, wow, my cultivation level seems to be higher than mine."

Zhang Quan was the most calm, or deep, and came forward after Yuan Zhao and Shangguan Yong had finished greeting, "My dear brother, there are a total of 2,500 shi of textile materials, including three types of cotton, linen and silk, and there are also blue, black, red, Yellow, gray, purple, green, pink and other dyes are enough for 20,000 bolts of cloth."

"I won't say thank you. Let's go. I'll show you the power of a miracle."

Li Xian knew that neither Zhang Quan nor Yuan Zhao believed that he could weave 20,000 bolts of cloth a year ago, and the best way to convince them was to show them the textile factory.

To be honest, Li Xian also thought a lot about letting others see the textile factory. In any case, the four of them are still in a cooperative relationship now, and will even be in a cooperative relationship for at least the next five years. In this case, I need to "win people's trust." As for the textile machine and the low-end engine technology, Li Xian knew that it would not be possible to keep it secret for a long time; in this case, it is better to take the initiative to disclose it and take the opportunity to obtain the maximum benefit.

Besides, textile machinery has the lowest technical content, so it doesn't matter if you let them have a look. The gates of other factories have already been closed, and the production is closed. Only the doors of textile factories were left open.

Naturally someone will take care of the materials, etc. Li Xian and the others don't need to care about such small things.

Li Xian took the lead, Xu Ren was in charge of explaining, and the five visited the textile factory together. The reason why Xu Ren was asked to explain it was because Li Xian was afraid that he would say what he shouldn't say when he was proud; and Xu Ren was definitely a qualified counselor, and every sentence was right to the point, which made Zhang Quan and the others amazed and understood. , without letting them know more.

"Is this the power of industry? Why is it called industry?" Yuan Zhao asked seemingly casually.

Li Xian chuckled, "The craftsman's fortune is called 'industry' for short, so this place is also called 'factory'."

The corner of Xu Ren's mouth twitched as he was introducing textile machinery to several people: Master, you are fooling people again.

Finally, Shangguan Yong, Zhang Quan, and Yuan Zhao stood in front of the first united textile machine in a daze. Seeing the roar of the machine and the cloth "flowing out" like a waterfall, one can imagine the shock in my heart.

Zhang Quan looked at Li Xian first, "My dear brother, can this machine be sold?"

Zhang Quan asked, Shangguan Yong also stood up and turned his head. Only Yuan Zhao was still curiously looking around the loom, and twisted the cloth to check the quality, as if he didn't care.

Li Xian was naturally prepared, and when he heard Zhang Quan's question, he only said three words: "It's a bit expensive."

Li Xian's meaning is very clear: it can be sold, but it is a bit expensive-you have to be mentally prepared!

Of course selling cloth makes money, but the most profitable is selling machines - this is one of Li Xian's plans! The cloth is just a product, but the loom is a real cash cow.

The higher the technological content, the more profitable it is, which is a characteristic of technology. As early as when he decided to disclose the loom to the three of Zhang Quan, Li Xian had such considerations.

But, if you want to take down this cash cow, you have to be prepared to bleed—besides, what if you take it back and dismantle it for a fake? And this is almost inevitable!

Li Xian knows his "good friends" too well. There is absolutely no problem in having fun and drinking, it is okay for everyone to earn money together, and it is okay to agree with others without threatening their own interests; but it must not be regarded as a life-and-death friendship. As long as there are enough interests, they don't mind being stabbed in the back.

In fact, Li Xian can be 100% sure that after they take it back, they will definitely disassemble and study it, especially the engine. So before Li Xian specially classified and priced the item of sea soul silk.

Zhang Quan pointed to an ordinary textile machine, "How much is this?"

"Gold, 1350 taels."

"Hiss..." Although they were mentally prepared, Zhang Quan, Shangguan Yong, and Yuan Zhao all gasped after hearing the price.

You know, when Li Xian first came to his own jade workshop, the annual profit of the entire jade workshop was only 500 taels of gold, which was already quite impressive. Five hundred taels of gold is five million copper coins!

1350 taels of gold is almost the income of the Li family in the past six months. But now, they can only buy a very low-level textile machine.

Yuan Zhao was the first to jump, "My dear brother, you are blackmailing, you are robbing, you are blackmailing, just a few wooden frames, a few iron pillars, and an engine, you dare to sell 1350 taels of gold, you are poor crazy."

Without speaking, Li Xian pointed to the roaring United Loom in front of him, "5500 taels of gold! You can pick up the goods in five days. Ordinary looms, you can pick up the goods now."

"500 taels, 500 taels of gold, I want ten United looms." Yuan Zhao barbarously bargained.

Li Xian shook his head, "Three brothers, I only sold it to you because of our friendship. In fact, if I don't show it to you, if I don't sell it to you, I can build a huge textile factory and even monopolize The Great Xia Kingdom monopolizes the textiles of the surrounding countries.

how? "

Li Xian made it very clear - it is a great favor for me to sell it to you. This is technology. If you don't have it, it's a favor if I can sell it to you; as for the price, of course it's arbitrary.

In fact, Li Xian's pricing is of course not random, it has been strictly considered.

This kind of low-end engine technology cannot be kept secret forever, so of course it is now to grab as much as possible. And after the three of them bought it back, it probably wouldn't take long for them to grasp it. Of course, Li Xian had to ask for a price that was so cheap for others.

Secondly, the sea soul silk in the engine is the key. Selling the engine is not the goal, but selling the sea soul silk is the goal.

As long as the buddies master stainless steel, there will be a steady stream of sea soul silk. If you want to produce high-efficiency engines, you can only ask me.

Thirdly, it is a matter of human nature. If you ask for a low price, people will not appreciate it! As long as it is within the acceptable range of the other party, the higher the asking price, the more grateful the other party will be—thank you for selling this good thing to me, I am so touched.

Zhang Quan squinted his eyes and looked around; Shangguan Yong was also watching, and even lowered his body to talk to the textile workers, but they ignored him. Only Yuan Zhaodong went to Xitiao, and when he saw his aunt he called his sister, and when he saw his elder sister he called him his younger sister; just in this gag, he got a lot of information from this kid.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Ren approached Li Xian and whispered: "Young master, none of your three friends are simple. Zhang Quan is good at calculating, Shangguan is brave on the outside and careful on the inside, and Yuan Zhao is the most scheming of the four of you. "

"En." Li Xian nodded, still a little shocked in his heart, sure enough, there are only a small number of officials and eunuchs who are idiots.

After a while, Shangguan Yong came over, "Brother, take off the change, 1300 gold, I want two looms, and I want it now."

Zhang Quan also said, "Two looms."

Only Yuan Zhaohuang returned leisurely, "My dear brother, how about two joint looms and ten thousand taels of gold?"

"Deal. All textile machinery is not damaged by man-made, and I will bear the five-year warranty; but the cost of materials needs to be charged." Li Xian pretended to be generous with "five-year warranty".

"Okay." The four immediately reached an agreement. As for the delay in the production of cloth on Li Xian's side, it was completely ignored by both parties.

After agreeing on the details, Li Xian said, "Three brothers, let's talk about the fake Wang family lantern."
