Everyone started to look at each other, and soon they all looked at Fang Zhengyi with sweat.
Fang Zhengyi chuckled: "You must already have the answer in your mind."
"Once textile factories are put on the market, it will be a devastating blow to many people."
"In less than five years, I think more than half of the people here will not be qualified to be here."
Smaller cloth merchants have gone from nervousness to fear.
They are not like those big cloth merchants who can sell goods like silk in large quantities with the support of noble people.
Following the path of small profits but quick turnover, the textile mills hit precisely this group of people.
Five years is too much to say, two years! It will be finished in two years at most!
When Fang Zheng saw their frightened expressions, he waved his hands relaxedly: "But... don't be too nervous."
"This textile factory is not managed by me personally, but by the Fifth Princess of my dynasty."
"The princess is pure and kind and can't bear to see other merchants suffer losses because of this, so the textile factory's goods are still piled in the warehouse without being shipped!"
"Also, this textile factory was not established to make money when it was first established, but to enable the people of the capital to survive the winter safely!"
"Even though the princess is so kind, I still hear some rumors from time to time 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's father-in-law will know that I am earning fame for his daughter... Haha.
Didn't both ends get coaxed into place at once?
Thinking of the strawberry-flavored princess, Fang Zhengyi licked his lips obscenely.
I have to go to the palace tonight to continue my report!
The fact that the princess manages the textile factory has actually been spread among the people for a long time, and it is widely spread among the people.
However, the Sixth Ministry once published an article in a daily newspaper mentioning this matter. Although it was never stated explicitly, it was denied both inside and outside the words.
A prince is out in the wild every day. His Majesty has not expressed his stance and everyone has accepted it!
The princess is a girl who goes out to do business in person? That won't work!
Banshan Daily said nothing about this.
Although the people in the palace complained about this matter, they didn't think it was a big deal.
Isn’t the princess always in the palace? what kind of business? rumor! These are all rumors!
There are so many rumors among the people, how can the royal family still care about everything?
Therefore, this matter can be regarded as dead for a while, and Fang Zhengyi did not receive any pressure.
It's just that people occasionally talk about it among the people, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed by Mr. Fang today!
This textile factory is really owned by a princess!
All the merchants immediately stood up and bowed in unison.
"Master Fang, this matter is all our responsibility. The princess is so kind and loving to the people, which really makes us deeply grateful."
Fang Zhengyi smiled: "Okay, okay, as long as everyone knows."
"Now let's get down to business."
"Since the princess can't bear to see everyone suffer losses, she has to find a way to get the best of both worlds."
"But after much thought, I have no good solution. I might as well buy all the cloth you have in hand."
"But this money is from Banshanfang, which is the money of His Highness the Crown Prince and me. It is only about 60,000 taels."
"You can discuss how much each family will sell and how much it will cost afterward."
The businessmen looked surprised!
Good thing, that's a good thing.
If the textile factory is really planning to sell goods, then at least the inventory in hand can be dumped this winter. Didn't you expect that officials can be so generous? It’s really evil!
"If you think the acquisition price is too low, you don't have to sell it. I won't force you to do so."
"However, the cloth clothing that has been collected and the cloth clothing produced by the textile factory will be sold at low prices in the market. You can consider it yourself."
The merchants began to whisper among themselves again.
"Hey, Mr. Fang really wants everyone in the city to have new clothes to wear in winter."
"This is a good thing. The textile factory has such a great advantage. It is better to sell everything directly to him than to compete with others. It also saves a lot of trouble."
Someone sneered: "You are stupid. No matter how efficient the textile factory is, it will not be able to produce enough fabric to satisfy the entire capital this winter."
"When the government accepts our goods and sets up sales points throughout the city, there will be no place for us to stand when it is fully rolled out. Then we will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others!"
"But with such efficiency, it will be a matter of time before the whole city is laid. Does it make any difference to us if it is half a year earlier or half a year later?" someone retorted.
"Of course there is a difference. Didn't you realize that the fabrics produced in this factory are all plain and have not been dyed? We all use our own dyeing workshops. Good spinning does not necessarily mean good dyeing. How can it sell well if it is not dyed well? We may not have time to catch up!”
The whispers inevitably leaked out.
Fang Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head after hearing a few words.
It’s not easy to do good things, don’t be shy!
"Everyone, it doesn't matter if you don't want to sell. Let's find another way."
"You can provide Banshanfang with the purchase ledger, and then sell cloth clothing to the people at the purchase price. The factory can subsidize half of the amount sold! Of course, if anyone dares to make a fraud, it will be under Dajinglu's control!"
"In addition! The textile machines you saw today can be sold to everyone!"
In an instant, the discussion stopped abruptly, and then the businessmen exploded.
"What Mr. Fang said is true!"
"Seriously, I never tell lies." Fang Zheng sighed.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."
"I know what you are worried about. It is just that the textile factory will encroach on the market and destroy your jobs."
"But I can assure you that Banshan Textile Factory is only responsible for production, not sales."
“If our store is willing to sell cloth from the textile factory, there is a chance that we can buy the looms from the textile factory.”
"Of course, the price of cloth clothes in the factory must be according to my rules. So...is there any problem?"
question? No problem at all!
You can sell it in my store however you want. What I want is a textile machine!
If you have a textile machine, who will blame you?
A merchant was full of doubts and stood up directly and asked: "Master Fang, I don't understand what this means."
"Forgive me for being a villain, are the textile factories really willing to do this kind of thing that is harmful to themselves and others? You know, if the textile factory sells its own goods, then no one in the market will be able to compete with it!"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and put his hands away.
Benefiting yourself and others? Not to mention, he is already rich enough, although the case investigation funds of various research institutes in the county are quite expensive.
But there is really no need to compete with others on matters concerning people's livelihood.
He had sold a textile machine once in Jianjiang, and he was still secretly hoping that someone would crack it and sell it on the market.
However, the results were disappointing. It seemed that the sales of his looms were too few, and everyone kept them as treasures.
Business is the greatest charity, and competition is the driving force for promotion and advancement. Moreover, he himself cannot have the energy to stare at a textile factory every day.
It is important to kiss the princess, but it is even more important to let the people wear winter clothes.
Now that I have come out of the county and have responsibilities on my shoulders, it is inevitable that I have a sense of historical responsibility.
If textile machines are promoted on a large scale, in ten, twenty or even fifty years, everyone may have clothes to wear.
This may take a long time, or it may end in vain.
But as a human being...you must have ideals!
