Chapter 956 Qi Ke's Order Meeting ([-])
For the word "agricultural and mining resources", Bai Qing focused on the word "mine". He took the letter and immediately went to discuss it with his father, and then the old general joined in.

Apart from food, the most important military supplies are weapons. Weapons need a lot of iron ore. The supply of the imperial court is insufficient, and the border troops in the southeast, northwest, and four borders are short of weapons. Now there is an overseas fleet saying that the business of agricultural and mineral resources can be done. It is indeed hard not to be tempted by the three people in power of Bai Jiajun.

"Don't get excited. It's not easy to transport a large amount of ore from one country to another. The ore is an important resource in any country, and it is much more difficult than selling some cotton and grain." After the movement, the old man calmed down first, "The letter also said that the other party will not consider the ore business until a long-term relationship of mutual trust and mutual benefit has been established. It can be seen that the other party is also cautious. Let us remain optimistic for the time being and do the things right now, step by step."

General Bai and Bai Qing didn't think for long, nodded in sympathy, and then the topic turned to discussing the quotations of cotton and grain. Ma Zhiwen made it very clear in the letter that they were all three-year supply prices, and the prices had already reached the end. There is no room for lower prices, the captain would rather lose his business.

If the domestic cotton production increases and the price falls in the future, the price of overseas cotton will obviously be expensive. Fortunately, General Bai had an interview with Qi Ke in advance. Cotton weaves well, gray cloth can be sold more expensive in the future, and year-end dividends can be higher.

The Bai family army has been poor for so many years, and it is rare to see an opportunity to make money and earn military expenses. Naturally, General Bai did not want to give up. In addition, the Bai family army actually only sold one piece of land. Qi Ke personally contributed from the construction to the operation of the factory. If the business didn't start, she would be the one who lost all her money. Young girls are not afraid of taking risks. It would be ridiculous for a general to be hesitant to look forward and backward.

After the three generations of father and son discussed it, they decided to accept the price. Bai Qing immediately went back to the house and wrote a reply to Ma Zhiwen, sending him the money for buying cotton.

The ship dispatched by Village Chief Jia to transport the goods has already been in place, and the captain of the ocean ship can unload the goods as soon as he receives the money, so early the next morning, Bai Qing wrote a note and asked Qi Ke's maid to pass it on to her, asking her to arrange the workshop. At the same time, General Bai also wrote back to Dong'an Mansion to ask if the tea was ready.

The currencies of different countries are different, and the silver taels of the country are not used by foreign merchant ships to bring back to their own country. They all buy other goods on the spot, so the bank note is passed in the captain's hand, and it is kept to pay for the tea.

Qi Ke received the note, and began to make preparations generously. The Maternity and Infant Hall began to count the number of people, and those counted out packed their bags and waited to leave.

The women in the Maternity and Infant Hall all know that Qi Ke's textile factory needs female workers. This is not hidden from them, and it is even a means to encourage them to study hard. Only those who learn well and quickly have the opportunity to be team leaders, get promoted and raise their salaries. .

Although they are maids who have signed a death contract, Qi Ke never thought of squeezing their labor force, and the wages are paid. It is just that when they first entered the workshop, they were all apprentices with a salary of [-] yuan. Later, it would depend on whether they worked hard. General workers and skilled workers have different salary increases, and team leaders also have different salary increases. Moreover, team leaders must pass the literacy test, otherwise they will not be able to write the forms that need to be filled out every day.
