Chapter 177 Introduction

The technology of spinning machines on the market today is very mature. It is an improved three-spindle pedal-operated cotton spinning wheel. Compared with the old spinning wheel, its efficiency has increased by two or three times and it is more labor-saving to operate.

But the looms on the market now are still ordinary foot-operated looms, while the loom used by sisters Hong Qiuyan and Hong Qiuyue is a slant loom, which uses both hands and feet during the weaving process, and its productivity is ten times that of ordinary looms.

More importantly, this twill loom is more complex than ordinary twill looms, and it also realizes some jacquard functions. It can realize the jacquard function during the weaving process and can weave more complex and colorful patterns.

With such a jacquard twill loom, it is no wonder that the Hong sisters can weave more cloth than ordinary people.

While Hong Qiuyan and Hong Qiuyue were introducing the functions and usage of the jacquard twill loom, Su Yujin listened and nodded repeatedly in approval, becoming more and more excited.

With such a loom in hand, there is no need to worry about making money in the weaving workshop! After looking at the loom, Su Yujin and sisters Hong Qiuyan and Hong Qiuyue carefully confirmed the details of the exclusive use right agreement of the loom. After the two families discussed it, they signed the agreement and pressed their fingerprints.

The two agreed that Su Yujin would send someone to deliver the first year's 100 taels of silver tomorrow, and the two sisters would make an identical but brand new loom for Su Yujin within half a month.

At the same time, the two sisters need to teach the people assigned by Su Yujin how to fully use the loom.

After all these things were done and the snow stopped, Su Yujin didn't care about the snow melting on the ground, and went to find Mrs. Zhou Li to discuss opening a weaving workshop together.

Considering Su Yujin's current financial situation, if she wanted to open this weaving workshop by herself, she could do it by spending all her savings.

However, this weaving workshop is cumbersome and troublesome, whether it is preparation or daily management, whether it is raw materials or sales of goods. Su Yujin believes that his abilities are limited, and he needs an experienced veteran in the business to help him.

Although the weaving workshop has good business prospects, since it is a business, there is no such thing as guaranteed profit. Bringing in some partners to do it together is also a good way to share the risks.

Su Yujin thought so, and when she told Li about her thoughts, she did not hide them and told her everything clearly, "These are my thoughts. What do you think of this business, Madam?"

"It's a very good business." After hearing this, Li nodded repeatedly. "If this weaving workshop is opened and uses such a high-efficiency loom, I think it will be able to weave medium-quality cloth comparable to Songjiang Prefecture. Excluding the transportation and handling costs on the road, the price is also very advantageous. It is a profitable business."

"I am very optimistic about this business, but Miss Su, if you want me to invest money, I will agree without hesitation. But if you want to invest with looms and money and let me prepare and manage this weaving workshop, I am afraid I don't have enough experience."

"Besides, the Zhou family has always been in the medicinal materials business. I can't find a manager who is proficient in the cloth business. Even the cotton needed for weaving and the sale of the cloth after it is woven are difficult for me."

"The Zhou family's medicinal materials business is now stable and growing. If we have to spend extra energy to start a new business, it will not be worth it for the Zhou family. I'm afraid the elders in the clan will not agree to it."

"As for me, I cannot help Miss Su with this business and it cannot meet her original expectations. Instead, it has delayed such a good business. I feel really bad about it."

"That's true." Su Yujin nodded in agreement.

Although she was a little disappointed, Li was just like her. Different industries have different worlds. Even if Li agreed to the deal because of their friendship, she was afraid that the subsequent business partnership would still not go smoothly and would encounter many problems.

Instead of forcing ourselves to work together, it is better to make it clear now and not have such thoughts.

Su Yujin understood Li's considerations and actions very well.

"Miss Su, don't be discouraged. Although I can't make this deal, I can introduce you to someone who can do this business." Li said with a smile.

"Oh?" Su Yujin suddenly became interested, "Who does Madam want to introduce?"

"The Feng family," Li said, "has been in the tea and cloth business for a long time, especially the cloth business. They have been doing it for many years and have made great sales. Moreover, the Feng family is large and powerful, and they have a lot of experience in managing this workshop. They will definitely do very well."

"If Miss Su thinks the Feng family is not bad, I will find a suitable opportunity in the next two days to talk to Master Feng and see if he is interested in this."

"Then I'd like to trouble you, Madam, to introduce me to someone else."

From the preparation of Qinghe County Chamber of Commerce to now, Feng Yuandong's ability can be said to be obvious to all, and Su Yujin also has a good impression of him.

If Feng Yuandong is willing to do this business together, then the business of this weaving workshop can be said to be mostly done.

"Miss Su, you are too polite. It's all I should do." Li smiled and ordered someone to replace a new cup of tea for Su Yujin.

Su Yujin was so busy talking that the tea in her hand had already become a little cold.

At this time, the servants brought a cup of hot tea. Su Yujin realized that she had been talking for a long time and her throat was a little dry. She took a sip of tea and chatted with Li about family matters.

"Mother." Zhou Ruoyi walked into the room, his face full of excitement, "Is Sister Su here too?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Hello, Sister Su." Zhou Ruoyi bowed properly to Su Yujin.

"Hello, Yi'er." Su Yujin looked at Zhou Ruoyi, who looked like a little adult, with a smile on her face. "You're back now, but did you just get out of school?"

"That's right." Zhou Ruoyi nodded. "I just finished school and saw my grandmother. I came to see my mother and was going to the study to review today's lessons."

"I just heard from the servants that Sister Su has been here for quite a while. It's already this time. Sister Su, do you want to have dinner at home? I heard from mother that the chrysanthemum fish made by the new cook in the small kitchen is sweet and sour and delicious. Sister Su, you can try it."

"Yier means well, and I shouldn't refuse. But Sister Su has to go to Huibin Building later, so I'm afraid she can't eat here. Why don't we come another day?"

Su Yujin reached out and rubbed Zhou Ruoyi's little head and said with a smile.

"Then let's wait until the sixteenth of this month. That day is the school holiday. Sister Su can come to our house for lunch, and I can accompany her."

Zhou Ruoyi counted on his fingers for a long time, "Yesterday I heard my mother say that she asked someone to buy a lot of dried seafood from Shandong, and it should be here by about that time."

Su Yujin, "..."
