Chapter 58 Silk Weaving Industry

Qin Li had not been gone for long. When he returned to the living room again,
The look on his face was obviously much more relaxed.

"I'm really sorry for keeping Magistrate Liu waiting for so long." Qin Li chuckled and took the initiative to continue the topic.
"Just now, Magistrate Liu said that he was planning to develop the silk weaving industry. My Qin family has been running a silk factory for decades. I have some doubts. Can I ask Magistrate Liu to clear up my doubts first?"

Liu Xuan didn't know what Qin Li meant by this move, so he said patiently,
"Qin Taigong, please speak."

"The silk weaving industry is already considered a mature industry in Huaiyin. Our Qin family has been operating it for decades. The process has been extremely simplified and the cost has been reduced to an almost extreme level."

"Magistrate Liu has just begun to lay out the plan now. Naturally, he has to lay the groundwork from mulberry forests, silkworm houses, factories, technicians and even sales outlets. I know how many detours there are to take."

"If Magistrate Liu doesn't have unique advantages in the aspects I mentioned, if I sell the mulberry forest to the magistrate, your money will be spent, but the profit will not be satisfactory. But it is my Qin family who cheated Magistrate Liu. .”

When Qin Li said this, he leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice and asked Liu Xuandao,

"So, if County Magistrate Liu has any advantages, you might as well tell him. If I think it's feasible, I will definitely help Magistrate Liu complete the layout of the silk weaving industry. Not to mention the small mulberry forest, the entire industry chain is sold It’s not impossible to give it to officials.”

Qin Li's words made Liu Xuan and Zhao Liniang behind him look slightly moved.

Qin Li wants to sell the entire industry chain?
To be honest, Liu Xuan did not have this idea, and he had already discussed it with Zhao Liniang.
It's just that both of them think this possibility is relatively low.

After all, the entire industrial chain of the silk weaving industry is not as simple as farming.

Based on the Qin family's decades of experience in the silk weaving industry, its brand value and technical value are actually higher than the value of Mulberry Forest and the factory.

This is not just about randomly recruiting a group of people to build a few factories to produce goods for sale.

In this era of scarcity of information, it takes a lot of time just to recruit experienced and skilled weavers.

And the money that needs to be invested in laying out sales channels in the early stage is a bottomless pit.

Liu Xuan looked at Qin Li and saw that his attitude was sincere and he didn't look like he was trying to find out more about himself so he could raise his price.
After slowly taking a sip of wine, Liu Xuan said leisurely,
"If my mulberry forest can make silk of better quality and cheaper, is this considered an advantage?"

"How much better can the quality be? How much lower can the price be?"

Qin Li's eyes lit up and he asked immediately,

Then he seemed to think of something and stood up suddenly.

"But it's the same kind of improvement as Guantian Wheat this spring?"

Liu Xuan smiled and nodded, "Absolutely."

Qin Li stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Then he seemed to finally make up his mind and saluted Liu Xuan and said,

"County Magistrate Liu, my Qin family has the honor to contribute to the descendants of King Huaiyang. This is the blessing of the Qin family."

"County Magistrate Liu doesn't have to pay for that mulberry forest. I just make the decision and give it to you."

Liu Xuan's expression changed, and he raised his eyes to look at Qin Li.

"Qin Taigong is so generous, how dare Liu Xuan accept it rashly? You'd better make an offer."

"No need," Qin Li put his hands behind his back, "I sincerely send you to you, Magistrate Liu, you don't have to worry."

"And for the future layout, as long as Magistrate Liu needs it, I will be able to help him."

Liu Xuan also stood up and did not shirk anymore.

"Qin Taigong is so generous, Liu Xuan would like to thank you."

"When it comes to the layout of the silk weaving industry, Liu Xuan really needs Qin Taigong to give him more advice."

Upon hearing this, Qin Li immediately approached Liu Xuan with a smile on his face.
"County Magistrate Liu, in fact, there is an excellent opportunity for the magistrate to develop the silk weaving industry."

"how do I say this?"

Qin Lidao,
"Don't Magistrate Liu have a large tract of high-quality mulberry forest on his hands? It just so happens that my Qin family has a ready-made silkworm house and a mature silk weaving factory. The workers in the factory are all masters with more than ten years of experience."

"Why don't County Magistrate Liu take a stake in the mulberry forest to produce high-quality raw materials, and I will run the factory and sell it? Wouldn't it complement each other?" Liu Xuan had a question mark on his face: "Huh???"

Isn’t this mulberry forest the gift you just gave me?
After going around in a big circle, in the end, isn’t it just equal to investing in one’s own technology?
But when Qin Li said this, it felt like Liu Xuan owed him a huge favor.

After all, when people send mulberry trees as gifts, they really mean it.
Cooperation is also a suggestion. If Liu Xuan is really determined to do it on his own and takes the mulberry forest and leaves, Qin Li can't say anything.

However, this seemed to be just a suggestion, but Liu Xuan couldn't refuse it.

This is equivalent to having a complete production line immediately.

As long as the grafted mulberry forest produces high-quality mulberry leaves, this production line can generate profits immediately.

Liu Xuan was still in the trap, but Qin Li's head had already come over.
"County Magistrate Liu, isn't this an excellent opportunity?"

Liu Xuan nodded subconsciously, "It is indeed an excellent opportunity. But this profit sharing?"

Qin Li waved his hand, "It's the same as last time, four for you and six for me."

Liu Xuan became alert, "No, it's five or five this time."

"If it's Wu Wu, the old man has a condition."

"What do you think."

"Our Qin family's silk fabrics are also quite famous, so we have our own brand name. From now on, the silk fabrics produced through cooperation must continue to use the time-honored brand name, how about that?"

Oh, the old guy still has brand awareness.

But this is not a loss for Liu Xuan. After all, it is not easy to build a brand again.
He said cheerfully,
"no problem."

"Okay!" Qin Li looked a little excited, "How about we draw up the contract today, Magistrate Liu?"

ah?Is the work efficiency so high?

Liu Xuan waited for Qin Li's steward to draw up the contract, and after seeing that it was OK, he signed it.

This trip went surprisingly smoothly.

After Liu Xuan signed and everything was settled, he left the Qin Mansion with Qin Li's warm farewell.

When he was going out, he suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Li,

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Qin, what is the name of your silk fabrics?"

Qin Li lowered his head and smiled slyly, and named the name of Qin's silk fabrics.

"Qin Sang!"

Liu Xuan's smile froze. Damn, he seemed to have been fooled again.

Using this brand means that the silk fabric industry is deeply bound to the Qin family.

Liu Xuan and the others left the Qin Mansion and got on their horses. Liu Xuan couldn't help but look back.
A trace of doubt lingers in my heart,
It feels like Qin Li has become a different person recently. He acts unexpectedly and makes decisive decisions. He seems to be very confident.

And it seems that Qin Li didn't suffer any loss every time.

Seeing this, Zhao Liniang asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you have any doubts?"

Liu Xuan frowned and said to Zhao Liniang:

"Liniang, do you feel that Grand Duke Qin has been a little different lately?"

After Zhao Liniang heard this, she also thought about it deeply.

"I didn't pay attention to it at first, but after my lord mentioned it, in retrospect, Qin Taigong's behavior these two times was indeed a bit unexpected. In the past, Qin Taigong was not so decisive in doing things, unless..."

Liu Xuan and Zhao Liniang looked at each other and said in unison,
"There are experts to give advice."
