Chapter 296 Toilet paper comes out, but no one cares about the Tang family toilet paper!
The scent of small green oranges fills the whole room, which is endlessly memorable.
Li Xiao didn't take a sip, but Li Jinglong and Jian Yi drank several big cups in succession.
This time, in addition to Xiaoqinggan, there are broken silver.
"This Pu-erh tea is called Broken Silver. It has a strong jasmine fragrance and a unique taste. It uses high-quality aged Pu-erh tea as the base, coupled with the natural jasmine fragrance, which makes it have a unique aroma and taste. Jasmine can not only enhance the tea The mouthfeel and depth of the mouthfeel can also play a role in aiding digestion."
Li Xiao has launched a new tea product.
For Jian Yi and Li Jinglong, this is a high price.
Jian Yi threw the tea into the teapot, and found that the tea was bubbling, so he asked curiously, "Why is the tea bubbling?"
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Natural pectin can breathe."
When the two heard the words, they understood in seconds, like meeting nectar.
This is a good thing, and there is also natural pectin!
"Do you think there are only little green oranges and broken silver coins?"
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "In addition to the agency rights of Xiaoqinggan, there are also the agency rights of Beiping Cloth, and the Nanjing agency rights of safflower oil, essential oil essence, toilet paper, glass, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, and salad oil. They will come one after another.”
In these years, in order to prevent the goods from Peiping from impacting the markets of other places, Li Xiao did not allow the goods from Peiping to be sold.
Even if someone bought goods from Peiping secretly and sold them by train, the profit would not be much, and the scale would not be achieved.
But it is different now. The first one is that the supply of goods in Beiping is already in short supply, and the market must be opened up.
Second, he wants to hit the Nanjing market with the products of these factories.
He sells these things in Nanjing, so other people don't have to do business.
For example, the cloth company obtained the agency right, and the price of purchasing goods from Beiping is cheaper than that of cloth spun locally in Nanjing. How can this be done?
Whoever can get the agency right of the cloth shop can get the right to buy in large quantities, the right to sell locally, and who can eat the meat, all of which are a matter of Li Xiao's words.
Li Xiao didn't intend to kill all these families, no matter how powerful he was, he would have done it long ago.
He wants to make these aristocratic families change.
Transformation from landlord class to capitalist class.
Businessmen are much easier to manage, and the land is naturally managed by the state.
"I understand"
Jian Yi thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Nowadays, in those big families, the older generation is more stubborn, but the younger generation is more open-minded. The release of these agency rights by the national teacher may make them internally divided. Which The members of the family surrender first, and the alliance of those families will naturally collapse."
After listening to it, Li Jinglong was very surprised: "Gao, it's an absolutely brilliant move, and they can make them scramble to join us without bloodshed!!"
"That's right, do what you like."
Li Xiao smiled slightly, looked at the two of them and said, "What do you two think?"
Li Jinglong said: "I think it is possible! I even want to participate in a share."
Jian Yi: "I think it's okay too!"
Li Xiao smiled lightly: "Okay then, are you ready for a meeting?"
Li Jinglong: "A meeting, what kind of meeting?"
Li Xiao: "You don't think that the power of attorney is given for free when you receive your land, do you? Of course it's in exchange for the land."
Li Jinglong: "."
That's it.
Li Xiao began to send people to spread the news, and started to prepare for the meeting.
This conference is aimed at all officials in Nanzhili.
Of course, the officials first hand in, followed by the powerful families, and finally the common people, so they have to follow the order.
time flies.
Half a month passed.
On the other side, the industrial park in Xiaodong Village is already booming.
Xiaodong Village Industrial Park now has a total of five projects, a preserved egg workshop, a toilet paper workshop, a large chicken farm, a large duck farm, and a mushroom breeding workshop.
Among them, the preserved egg workshop is the one that has achieved quickest results. The preserved egg business has already begun to make a profit.
All the recruits are local villagers from a dozen households who are busy working in the house. They get wages every day, which is similar to farming. Of course they are willing to do this.
Several other breeding projects are still in progress at the site.
The people who used it were recruited from the surrounding villages, and there were about [-] people recruited, all of whom were farmers or tenants.
These farmers and tenants have little land but a large number of people in their families, so they are living a tight life. When they hear that there is work to do and money to get, they scramble to come here, and soon it will be overcrowded.
All in all, several projects combined have created a total of more than 1000 jobs, and most of these people are tenants of landlords.
This is not worth mentioning for the whole of Nanzhili, but it is not a small amount for the surrounding villages. Many powerful families have already felt the crisis. If everyone leaves, the land will be barren.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that if cultivated land has not been cultivated for more than three consecutive years, it can be regarded as wasteland and ownerless land.
As long as whoever cultivates it, the land belongs to that person.
"Boss Yu, Boss Yu! The first batch of toilet paper has been successfully produced!"
At this time, the workers in the paper mill successfully developed toilet paper under the leadership of the workshop leader from Peiping.
"Successful??"
Yu Qian stayed here day and night to supervise the work. Not long ago, he fell asleep tiredly on a small bamboo bed. After hearing the sound, he immediately jumped off the bed and rushed over.
What caught my eye was a large piece of toilet paper just produced from the growth line.
The production process of toilet paper is actually not difficult. The material used here is wood, which is cut and broken into pulp with tools, and then enters the paper machine for sizing, and then enters the paper machine for sizing. The most important thing is to add sugar cane. Make the paper soft and flexible, not easy to puncture.
The toilet paper produced by this simple method is similar to that of the 90s. The surface is not so white and slightly yellowed.
The most difficult point is the cost issue. Only by reducing the cost can we produce cheap toilet paper, and this is the effect of the factory, and then it is disinfection. If it is not disinfected, it cannot be used, and it is easy to be infected.
"Successful, really successful!!"
Yu Qian was very excited. After working overtime for half a month, the production was finally produced.
Then, my bet with the Tang family will also succeed.
Soon, the toilet paper entered the next workshop link, where it was cut into squares with a cutter, and then entered into the packaging link.
"Master Huang, how much does each pack of toilet paper cost now?"
Yu Qian immediately looked at Master Huang who came from Beiping and asked.
Master Huang said: "The cost is still a bit high, because the factory is relatively small, the equipment is not perfect, and the scale is not large. If it is spread out evenly, after deducting the cost of labor and materials, this pack of toilet paper costs three pennies, which is one penny more expensive than Beiping. price."
"Three Wen, three Wen is also very cheap, and it is still in line with my expectations." Yu Qian raised his eyebrows and said: "Three Wen, the ex-factory price can be set at five Wen, but Tang's toilet paper is sold for a pack of [-] Wen Money, the price is already a big advantage.”
After finishing speaking, Yu Qian asked again: "How about the output?"
"In terms of production."
Master Huang made some calculations and gave the answer: "According to the current situation, the daily output is only one thousand catties. One catty is about three packs, which means the output of three thousand packs a day. The price, the profit is two Wen, a profit of six thousand Wen per day, which is six taels of silver, 180 taels of silver a month, which is very good for such a small factory. After all, it has supported a factory for seventy or eighty What about the number one?"
Master Huang is also the project team leader in Beiping, and these simple accounts can still be calculated.
Moreover, the net profit of 180 taels a month is quite a lot. If such a small factory is opened privately, the annual income is 800 taels of silver, which beats [-]% of the people in the Ming Dynasty.
"a thousand catties"
Yu Qian frowned slightly, and said: "Not enough, the output is not enough to eat the share of the Tang family. At least five times!"
Master Huang was surprised and said, "Five times? Manager Yu, are you serious?"
Yu Qian said: "Of course it is serious."
Master Huang said: "It's not impossible, the venue is enough, and the manpower can be called, but the problem is that the materials are not enough. Our wood is all bought from the county town, and it takes time to transport it. Moreover, our quantity is too large, and we have to buy cheap pine wood." , This kind of wood is widely used in building houses in the market, but it’s not enough to buy.”
"That's a problem." Yu Qian fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Master Huang pointed to the southeast, and said, "Isn't there a mountain over there? I think there are quite a lot of wood on the mountain. Manager Yu, if you can get the approval from the Ministry of Households, we are allowed to cut a lot of wood on the mountain. It’s much more convenient to collect materials.”
"Good idea."
Yu Qian's eyes lit up, and then said: "Whether it works or not, I'll try it first."
After speaking, he rushed out of the door, mounted his horse and ran towards Nanjing City.
This horse was bought by Yu Qian for the convenience of handling affairs, spending almost all of his savings.
Soon after Yu Qian arrived in Nanjing City, he went directly to Fengtian Hall, which was the seat of the upper court and the reform headquarters. After he went, he didn't see Li Xiao, but saw several officials who were doing business.
I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect the matter to be done in a while. The logging documents from the Ministry of Households soon arrived in Yu Qian's hands, and he needed to pay the logging fee.
These few officials who were in charge of the affairs were Li Xiao's promoted confidantes, and after hearing Yu Qian's appeal, they quickly handled it.
"Sure enough, the reform is now that everything in Nanjing has a green light all the way, unimpeded."
Yu Qian took the documents and left, feeling very excited.
"However, the procedures are so simple, I'm afraid it is easy to breed corruption. For example, if I get the logging documents, I can secretly sell the timber for profit. Forget it, this is not something I should consider. I'd better handle the matter in front of me." , handle the matter in front of you well, and other matters will be arranged by the National Teacher."
Thinking like this, Yu Qian rode his fast horse back to the factory again.
In the following time, Yu Qian hired many loggers and went into the mountains to log
As a result, the production of toilet paper began to rise sharply.
at the same time.
Yu Qian has already rented a shop in Nanjing City, and plans to sell toilet paper by himself, directly from the factory.
Generally speaking, the technology industry has specialization, and the factory does not participate in the transportation and sales process. The agent sends a car to pull the goods from the factory, and then distributes them to the shops below. The shops are the final sales terminals.
But Yu Qian is not in business after all, and he doesn't know much about the inside ways.
At the same time, the factory's agency rights cannot be given randomly. If someone takes the ex-factory price of [-] cents, sells it at a high price, and makes a lot of money, his purpose will not be achieved.
Simply, use the fool's method and sell it yourself.
The ex-factory cost of a pack of toilet paper is three renminbi, and it should be about the same if you sell it for ten renminbi.
And ten cents is absolutely a blast to the current price of straw paper on the market.
On the market, the price of such a large bag of four-two-weight straw paper is [-] yuan, and only a solid family can afford such a price. It is impossible for ordinary people to wipe their buttocks with straw paper.
Soon, this small shop branched out in Nanjing.
However, in order to save costs, the geographical location is relatively remote, and no one came in a few days ago when it opened.
But this small problem is not difficult for Yu Qian.
He immediately sent more than a dozen people to wander around Nanjing City holding a billboard with the words "Qingfeng brand toilet paper ten cents a pack" written in black on a red background.
"What? What is toilet paper?"
People quickly noticed the eye-catching billboards, but they didn't know what toilet paper was.
And the people sent by Yu Qian began to explain that toilet paper can be used to go to the toilet, wipe your mouth, it is clean and hygienic, whiter than straw paper, hygienic, and soft.
The grass paper is the paper made of straw, which is yellow in color and rough in texture.
Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance which is good and which is bad.
The advertisers sent out carried samples with them for everyone to watch.
Soon, the people were shocked.
"Is this straw paper?"
"No, it's toilet paper, better than toilet paper, and it's sterilized, which means there's no dirt, just like washed towels."
"Then this is a good thing, is it expensive?"
"It's not expensive, it's cheaper than straw paper, and it's ten cents a bag, and it's located in the easternmost shop of Yanzhifang in the east of the city."
Advertisers are always ready to answer the questions of the common people.
Soon, people came to Yu Qian's shop one after another, and within a few days it began to be overcrowded, so toilet paper became popular in Nanjing.
Many people with good families rushed to buy it. After all, toilet paper worth [-] yuan was reluctant to buy, but toilet paper worth [-] yuan was still a luxury.
After all, everyone can see that this toilet paper is much better than straw paper. It is as soft as cloth, and it is more comfortable to touch than straw paper, which is sticky.
Furthermore, those wealthy families also began to buy toilet paper.
The toilet paper used by these wealthy families is naturally from Beiping, but the price is very expensive, and it takes a tael of silver to buy a pack.
The main reason is that the trains in Peiping do not transport such price-protected goods outside, so as not to impact the foreign market, because there is no agency.
The toilet paper bought by these wealthy families is smuggled and parallel imported, so the price is as high as one tael, and even so, the supply is still in short supply.
Well now, there are some for sale in Nanjing City.
And it only costs ten cents a pack, which is about the same price as Beiping toilet paper, and the quality is not much worse.
In an instant, Nanjing paper was hot, toilet paper was hot all over the city, and straw paper became waste paper that no one cares about.
at the same time.
Tang House, the lobby of the main house.
The old man of the Tang family was drinking tea and talking to the second son next to him.
The second son of the Tang family smiled and said: "Father, I have visited those shops a few days ago. They only need to sell them at a price of [-] Wen, and they can get a profit. It has been reduced to [-] yuan. The direct cost price is sold to those shops, and they buy in large quantities. In this way, Yu Qian's bet will definitely be lost. But he himself said that he lost, and he would never step on our soup If you take one step further, then this time the National Teacher's first calculation against our Tang family will be in vain!"
It turned out that the last time Tang Tianbao revealed that the Tang family would be the first to be targeted by the National Teacher, the old man signed a bet with Yu Qian only after he knew about it.
The purpose is to defeat Li Xiao's purpose and make it impossible to start.
There is a saying that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. Even if this resistance reform is successful, if the first one is used as cannon fodder, it will not be beneficial.
That's why Mr. Tang agreed so readily.
"Yu Qian is such an idiot."
The old man of the Tang family laughed and said: "The national teacher's plan is aimed at us, but the people they send are useless. As long as our family can avoid their sharp edge, it would be great. Our Tang family has been making toilet paper for so many years. The guy is very experienced, and the cost is already very low. This time, he does not seek profit and sells at the cost price. Even if he has great skills, he can’t make straw paper that is cheaper than this. It’s really self-defeating.
The second son of the Tang family said with a smile: "Father is right. Father is really wise. He sacrificed small profits to seek the bigger picture."
The old man of the Tang family smiled slightly, and drank tea with his legs crossed, as if he had the winning ticket in his hands.
Not long after, a servant rushed to report.
"Report——Master, many shopkeepers from grocery stores in Nanjing City have come to pay homage to the master."
The old man of the Tang family asked curiously, "Huh? Why did they come suddenly, and how many came?"
The servant said: "Fifty or sixty families have come."
The old man of the Tang family wondered: "It's strange, what are they doing here, are they not doing business?"
The servant faltered and said: "Master, they seem to want to return the goods, saying that the price is too cheap this time, and they bought too much, and they want to return it."
This time, the Tang family made a profit, so the storekeepers of the grocery stores in Nanjing bought a lot from the Tang family and stocked up a lot of toilet paper. Anyway, this stuff won't break, so they sold it slowly.
As soon as the toilet paper came out, they thought that so much toilet paper might be thrown into their hands, so they wanted to return it.
"Return? It's never happened before."
The old man of the Tang family was slightly puzzled, thought for a while, and waved his hand: "Please invite them all in, don't neglect."
"Yes, sir."
The servants cupped their hands and hurried down the mountain.
At this time, the old man of the Tang family began to feel that something was wrong, after all, such a thing had never happened before.
Those grocery stores in Nanjing City are all his old partners and acquaintances, so they shouldn't suddenly return the goods, and so many people came here together.
"Oops, careless!"
The old man of the Tang family was startled suddenly, and said loudly: "Could it be that Yu Qian used some tricks? Could it be that he used the power of the national teacher to force those shop owners not to sell my Tang family's goods? If so , Yu Qian and the national teacher are really shit!!"
