Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 123 Must be bad luck?
"Xiedao, do you really have to sell the woolen thread in the shop for two cents a catty? Since it's just opened, if we adjust the price again, the impact won't be that big."

Mrs. Zhang also came to the shop on the West Market side with Luye today.

Of course, she has heard all kinds of rumors outside.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here specially today.

Seeing the people queuing up outside the shop to buy woolen yarn, Mrs. Zhang became more and more worried.

These are all for wool.

"Aniang, don't worry, I know it well. Although we have no money to make at today's price, we can't lose money either.

For other merchants outside, the cost of wool thread per catty is more than two or three pennies per catty to clean the wool, and the cost of spinning wool into wool thread is even higher.

But our workshop is different.After using the new potion researched by Hou Bao, cleaning the wool is a very simple matter for us.

And I also found some craftsmen to make auxiliary equipment. Even the machines used to weave wool thread were specially made by craftsmen. The efficiency is not comparable to that of looms outside.

Wool is an almost inexhaustible commodity for grassland herdsmen.

Now that wool can be used, even if the price is very low, a large number of people are willing to sell it.

Taking the wool yarn bought at a low price from grassland herdsmen to produce woolen sweaters for the people of Tang Dynasty to keep warm in winter, this kind of thing must be scaled up as soon as possible, and the effect will be better. "

Qin Xiedao has been planning for so long, so it is naturally impossible to change his mind just because of Zhang's words.

Even if he knew that Zhang's words were for his own benefit, he would not agree.

"But what about two pennies? If we buy woolen yarn at such a cheap price, how can we not make money? At that time, someone will deliberately buy a large amount of woolen yarn from us at a low price, and then sell it at a high price. How can we do that?" Didn't you suffer a lot?"

Obviously, Zhang's first reaction to a low price beyond his knowledge was that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to speculate.

In fact, there are indeed many people who think they have a good vision and are ready to do so.

"Aniang, our wool workshop uses special chemicals to wash the wool, which is not comparable to the efficiency of mink and fox fur.

If someone wants to hoard a large amount at the price of two cents, it is actually very simple, then we have been selling woolen thread for two cents.

At that time, there will be nothing to be gained except for empty rejoicing, maybe who will laugh at whom by then. "

For Qin Xiedao, he didn't immediately want to profit from selling wool.

The key now is to revitalize the wool industry, so that the wool on the grassland can flow continuously to Datang, forming an industrial chain.

With the development and growth of this industrial chain, a commercial road from Datang to the grassland was formed naturally.

At that time, all the money spent on buying wool can be recovered by selling various things.

Moreover, after seeing the benefits of raising sheep, more grassland herdsmen will inevitably embark on the road of special sheep herding.

Although it is impossible to rely solely on this measure to complete one's grassland strategy, there is no problem in making the grassland and the Central Plains dynasty more closely bound together.

"Since you have already considered this issue, I won't say more. There are more and more people queuing up outside, so you can go to your own business first."

Although Mrs. Zhang didn't really believe that the production cost of her wool workshop could be so low.

But Qin Xiedao was not the first time to do business at a loss.

The popular "Datang Daily" in Chang'an City is a money-losing business that everyone knows.

It's impossible for Qin Xiedao not to know this, but he continued to invest manpower and material resources, and even set up a paper-making workshop and a printing workshop, so Mrs. Zhang couldn't say anything more.

After all, she is just a stepmother.

……

"Shopkeeper Lu, it seems that there are quite a few people who are planning to sweep the goods like us today."

Outside the Qinji Wool Thread Shop in Xishi, shopkeeper Lu and his party found many familiar figures.

"Qin Xiedao set a super low price like this. He might have just wanted to attract everyone's attention, but he probably didn't expect that this would give everyone a chance to make money.

Since he has given the opportunity so generously, we naturally have to seize it. "

Shopkeeper Lu was not surprised when he saw that Qinghe Cui's and Xingyang Zheng's related shopkeepers and a group of shopkeepers were driving the carriage to prepare for the big purchases of wool thread in the team.

The only thing he needs to worry about is whether Qin Ji Wool Thread Shop will regret it and raise the price immediately after finding out that the situation is wrong, or impose some other restrictions.

For example, a person can only enjoy a discount of one catty at a time, and if you buy more, there will be no additional discount for buying two and getting one free.

Then those who are going to stock up will be greatly restricted immediately.

Although you can also circumvent this limitation by repeating queuing, etc., after all, there will be a lot of trouble, and the original effect will definitely not be achieved.

"This "Da Tang Daily" is also the property of the Qin family. Otherwise, if there are other newspapers, maybe they can report the embarrassing situation encountered by the Qin Ji wool thread shop on the front page, which will definitely attract everyone's attention. .”

"It doesn't matter if the "Datang News" doesn't report it, this kind of thing must have been spread in the business district of Chang'an City today.

Word of mouth among the people can also quickly become known to everyone. "

Shopkeeper Lu basically expected that Qinji Wool Thread Workshop would suffer a lot of losses in this round.

Unless they slap themselves in the face and go back on what they promised in "Datang Daily".

If this is the case, shopkeeper Lu doesn't mind at all.

Because this means that the reputation of Qinji Wool Thread Workshop is bad, and it leaves an impression of lack of faith.

In future generations, this may not have a particularly large impact.

But in Datang, if everyone feels that your shop has no faith, it can basically close down.

"That's true. At that time, the Qin family invested so much money to build a workshop outside the city. I heard that the carpenters and blacksmiths alone will recruit hundreds of people, and more than 1000 helpers.

I don't know how much it costs every day.It's not going up or down, it's not right to give up, it's not right to continue working, it probably gave Qin Xiedao a headache. "

Just when shopkeeper Lu and his team thought that Qinji woolen thread shop must be in trouble, the woolen thread was officially launched for sale.

The people in front of the queue immediately poured into the shop under the guidance of the buddy, and started the sweeping mode.
