Liu Feng thought about it and agreed.
After reading it, I decided to get things done at once while all the major businesses are still around to avoid trouble later.
I said something to Zhang Baodong and asked him to wait for me at the tea party after he finished his work.
He went up to the second floor of the wooden building with Manager Chen.
After going upstairs, Liu Feng discovered that Xiuyuan Pavilion had renovated the second floor to accommodate the loom.
At first glance, the entire space is filled with only looms.
Surrounding it are rows of shelves filled with the latest fabrics.
This is no wonder. What would happen if such an important loom was placed somewhere else and was damaged?
Besides, the loom is too big, and there is no other way except to renovate the room.
Moreover, Chen Lingyun was talented and had already studied the loom thoroughly, and the four weavers she brought with her were not bad either.
Now we are busy every day and our output is on par with that of ordinary cloth.
However, patterns and so on can be formed in one go.
"General Liu, come and take a look."
"This is the sample we produced."
Shopkeeper Chen walked to a shelf on the side and took down a piece of cloth.
The patterns on this piece of cloth are extremely gorgeous and exquisite, more lifelike than those embroidered by an embroiderer.
Originally, ordinary cloth could only be woven, but the actual effect was not great.
But now it’s different.
After these silk fabrics have the patterns woven into them at once, they now look full of a sense of luxury.
"Not bad, not bad, the style and quality are absolutely fine."
“But there’s still something missing.”
Liu Feng's fingers kept trying this sample which was countless times more exquisite than the 32,000 taels of silver just now.
Lost in thought.
Shopkeeper Chen was very confused. What was missing from such an exquisite item?
Could it be that General Liu is not satisfied with such cloth?
If you sell this for money, you will definitely get rich.
"What else is missing?"
"This kind of fabric is no longer affordable for ordinary people, unless they are truly wealthy and powerful."
“But we didn’t take that into account when we did it.”
"If we add some gold thread or wool from the Northern Barbarians when weaving these fabrics, wouldn't the effect be even better?"
Shopkeeper Chen’s research instantly became clear.
Yes, why didn’t he think of this?
"But since the cloth is already made, it doesn't matter. I can add these lines later and use them when embroidering."
Liu Feng put the sample down. He was very satisfied now.
But what is the output like?
The battalion that Chen Lingyun created can produce 200 horses, so what about this one?
"Shopkeeper Chen, have you ever calculated how long it takes to produce a piece of cloth?"
"General Liu, the speed is not slow. According to the current situation, we can produce more than twelve horses a month."
“This is the fastest speed so far.”
Liu Feng silently calculated in his mind that if he could produce twelve pieces of cloth a month, then that would be more than one hundred and forty pieces of cloth a year.
"General Liu, we have also thought about expanding the scale, but our craftsmen have studied it for several days and still haven't been able to draw a blueprint for your loom. There is no way we can replicate it."
"If there were more looms, production would definitely go up."
Liu Feng chuckled.
Why should we increase production? There is absolutely no need to increase it.
"No, absolutely not. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable."
However, what Manager Chen had just said also made him feel relieved.
Xiuyuan Pavilion is very powerful in the research of weaving and weaving machines. It seems that Chen Lingyun was born to serve the advancement of the weaving industry.
It has been gradually leading the weaving industry of the entire dynasty.
Since none of the craftsmen under Chen Lingyun's leadership understood the structure of their looms, he didn't have to worry about anything.
Before, I was always thinking about what would happen if my technology was leaked.
The current situation has come, and this situation will definitely not occur in the next three to five years at least.
"General Liu, what should we do with these cloths now?"
"Why don't you sell some while they are all here?"
Shopkeeper Chen asked tentatively.
"Of course we have to buy it. Otherwise, how can we wear all the cloth ourselves?"
Liu Feng said jokingly.
Shopkeeper Chen became even happier and danced with joy.
Because Manager Chen knew very well that Liu Feng had a trading company under his command.
It would be fine if these cloths were bought by the business under Liu Feng, but after all, the current Deqingtang is not as strong as other business companies.
If all of it was given to Deqingtang, the profit would definitely be less.
But if a little bit can be distributed to other major trading companies, the profits will be greater.
As the head of Xiuyuan Pavilion, he has to consider the interests of Liu Feng as well as the interests of his own Xiuyuan Pavilion.
"Then how to proceed still needs to be decided by General Liu."
We must listen to Liu Feng on what to do.
She didn't dare to make a decision on her own. If she was blocked by Liu Feng, Xiuyuan Pavilion would be doomed.
"How about this, we calculate it as twelve pieces of cloth per month, so we'll take out four pieces of cloth each month and hand them over to the two businesses."
"But there's one thing: it has to be a big trading company, even a big tree trading company will do."
"But those small and medium-sized businesses rejected their bids."
"One more thing. The profit split we agreed on was 70% for me and 30% for Xiuyuan Pavilion, but I want to change it."
