Everyone started looking at each other, and soon they all looked at Fang Zhengyi with sweat on their faces.
Fang Zhengyi chuckled: "I think you all already have the answer in your mind."
"Once the textile factory sells to the market, it will be a devastating blow to many people."
"Within five years, I think more than half of you here will not be qualified to be here."
Smaller cloth merchants have gone from nervousness to fear.
They are not like the big cloth merchants who have the support of noble people and can sell goods like silk in large quantities.
The textile factory adopted the strategy of small profits but quick turnover, and it was precisely this group of people that they were targeting.
Five years is too much, two years! At most two years and it's over!
When Fang Zheng saw their terrified expressions, he waved his hand and said, "But... don't be too nervous."
"This textile factory is not managed by me personally, but by the Fifth Princess of our dynasty."
"The princess is pure and kindhearted. She couldn't bear to see other merchants suffer losses because of this. Therefore, the goods of the textile factory are still piled up in the warehouse and have not been shipped out!"
"Also, this textile factory was not established to make money, but to allow the people of Beijing to spend the winter safely!"
"Even though the princess is so kindhearted, I still occasionally hear some rumors among the people. I hope everyone here will go back and publicize the princess's good deeds. Do you understand?"
Promote it well!
Sooner or later, the emperor will know that I am making fame for his daughter...haha.
Isn't it that both ends are in place at once?
Thinking of the strawberry-flavored princess, Fang Zheng licked his lips obscenely.
I have to go to the palace tonight to continue reporting!
The fact that the princess was managing a textile factory had actually spread to the public long ago, and was widely discussed among the people.
However, the six ministries once mentioned this matter in an article in the daily newspaper. Although they never said it explicitly, they denied it implicitly.
A prince is out playing tricks on the head every day, and everyone just accepts it even though His Majesty hasn't expressed his opinion!
A princess, a girl, wants to do business herself? That won't work!
The Mid-Levels Daily News remained silent on this.
Although people in the palace had some complaints about this matter, they didn't think it was a big deal.
The princess has always been in the palace! What kind of business is she doing? Rumors! They are all rumors!
There are so many rumors among the people. If the royal family cares about everything so much, how can they survive?
So the matter came to a halt for the time being, and Fang Zhengyi did not feel any pressure.
It's just that some people occasionally talk about it among the people, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed by Lord Fang today!
This textile factory is really run by a princess!
All the merchants immediately stood up and saluted together.
"Lord Fang, leave this matter to us. The princess is so kind and loving. We are really grateful for her love for the people."
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's good as long as everyone knows."
"Now let's talk about some serious business."
"Since the princess can't bear to see everyone suffer losses, we have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds."
"But after thinking about it, I can't think of any good solution. I might as well buy all the cloth from you."
"But this money comes from Banshanfang, which is the money of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and me, about 60,000 taels."
"You can discuss how much and how much each family will sell for afterwards."
The businessmen looked surprised!
Good, that's good.
If the textile factory really intends to sell goods, then at least the inventory on hand can be sold this winter. I didn't expect that officials would be so generous? It's really weird!
"If you think the purchase price is too low, you don't have to sell it. I won't force you to do it."
"But the cloth and clothing that have been collected and the cloth and clothing produced by the textile factory will be sold at a low price in the market. Please consider it on your own."
The merchants began to whisper to each other again.
"Ah, it seems like Lord Fang really wants all the people in the city to have new clothes to wear in the winter."
"This is a good thing. The textile factory has such a big advantage. If we can't compete, we might as well sell it all to him directly. This will also save a lot of trouble."
Someone sneered and said, "You are stupid. No matter how efficient the textile factory is, it can't produce enough cloth to satisfy the whole capital this winter."
"Once the government has seized our goods, they will set up sales outlets throughout the city. When they fully expand their business, there will be no place for us to stand. We will be at the mercy of others!"
"But with such efficiency, it's only a matter of time before the whole city is covered. Does it make any difference to us if it's half a year earlier or later?" someone retorted.
"Of course there is a difference. Haven't you noticed that the cloth produced in this factory is all plain cloth and has not been dyed? We use our own dyeing workshop. Good spinning may not necessarily be good dyeing, and bad dyeing will not sell well. We may not be too slow to catch up!"
Whispering is bound to reveal something.
After hearing these few words, Fang Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It’s not easy to do good things, so I won’t keep you in suspense!
"Everyone, if you don't want to sell, that's fine. Let's try another way."
"You can provide Banshanfang with the purchase account book, and then sell cloth and clothing to the people at the purchase price. The square can subsidize half of the sales amount! Of course, if anyone dares to falsify it, they will be handled by Dajing Law Firm!"
"In addition! The textile machines you saw today can also be sold to you!"
In an instant, the discussion stopped abruptly, and then the businessmen were in an uproar.
"Master Fang really means what he said!"
"Seriously, I never lie." Fang Zheng sighed.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."
"I know what you are worried about. You are simply worried that the textile factory will take over the market and destroy your jobs."
