"In addition, I also need some cashmere shawls and cashmere coats. The shawls cost two gold coins each, and the coats cost seven gold coins each."
"Let's make twenty shawls first, and ten coats too."
Barton counted the price quickly with his fingers. One piece of cloth cost fifteen pounds of cashmere, and fifty pieces was nearly eight hundred pounds. Cashmere was cheap, and eight hundred pounds only cost fifty silver coins.
A cashmere sweater costs ten silver coins, one piece a day, which is one hundred gold coins in three years. Adding the shawl and coat, it is already more than two hundred gold coins.
After excluding the cost, he can make a net profit of two hundred gold coins, which is two million copper coins, two million!
Two million is enough for him to buy four large houses with gardens in King Corens!
Barton calculated with trepidation, knowing that his shop's current net income per year was only 20 gold coins, and the workers' daily wages were only 70 copper coins.
This is simply an astronomical figure. One business can make ten years of money!
Barton's breathing became heavier, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"Miss Luo Wei, are you telling the truth? Are you really going to pay us this price?" If the price is high, he can make it even if her secret recipe is crappy.
"I always tell the truth," Luo Wei leaned back, "However, I still have two requests."
"You say it, you say it." Barton looked at Luo Wei now as if he were looking at the God of Wealth in the sky. Of course, he had to listen carefully to what the God of Wealth said.
"First, you must process the wool strictly according to the secret recipe I gave you. If you cannot do this, our cooperation will be terminated."
"Second, the price I gave is a buyout price. The cashmere sweaters produced can only be sold to me. You cannot sell it to others, and you cannot leak my secret recipe, even if I leave Siriya in the future."
As soon as Luo Wei arrived at the negotiating table, her aura was particularly amazing, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The cold light in her eyes forced Barton to breathe.
"Of course, of course." Barton wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that the nobles were different. He couldn't help but want to kneel down after just one look at the aura around him.
He naturally understood Luo Wei's requirements.
The secret recipe belongs to this noble lady, and she also gave her the money. I am just temporarily serving as her personal tailor, making clothes for her for a while.
Nobles are like this. They only use good things for themselves.
"Okay, since Mr. Huggins promised so readily, I can leave the secret recipe to you with peace of mind," Luo Wei said with a chuckle, "You are Balk's father, and I believe in your character."
Barton glanced at Balk and gave him a "good job" look.
Balk suddenly puffed up his chest, proud!
However, he touched the back of his head. He just met Miss Luo Wei for the first time today. Does she trust him so much?
Luo Wei took out the copied parchment and handed it to Barton: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me now."
"After you are sure that you can make the fabric I want, we will draw up a deed and pay you a deposit."
Balk unfolded the parchment and read it while holding his breath.
Not only are text instructions written on the parchment, but important steps are also illustrated with illustrations, which are concise and vivid at a glance and easy to understand.
This volume of secret recipes is filled with three sheepskins.
The first one described the raw material processing of wool, how to use complicated processes to make wool soft and white. He had never heard of the degreasing solvents and rinsing methods mentioned in it.
The second picture briefly described the cashmere thread-raising technique. It was possible to twist the cashmere thread as thin as yarn. He had never seen the tools used in it.
The third page describes several loom techniques that can weave fabrics of different thicknesses and various patterns.
This is not a secret recipe, it is clearly a whole textile secret book!
It is a precious secret that can make them make a lot of money if they pick any process at random!
Barton looked at Luo Wei eagerly, speaking incoherently as if he had been knocked unconscious by a pie falling from the sky: "Can you really let me see these, such precious secret recipes? This is simply, simply incredible! You are not afraid of me. Steal it?"
Luo Wei leaned on the chair with her chin in her hands, showing a lack of interest: "To me, it's just a few pieces of paper."
"Besides, there are only some simple things written on it. Even if it is really lost, it will not cause any loss to me."
"Mr. Huggins, you are a businessman. I think you should know what is most beneficial."
Barton nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Huggins Store will never let you down."
Luo Wei showed a friendly smile: "Mr. Huggins is a person worth trusting."
She straightened her skirt and stood up: "It's getting late. Please contact me after you make the fabric sample."
"Okay, I will make it as quickly as possible." Barton quickly stood up and sent them downstairs.
"Then I'll wait for the good news. Goodbye, Mr. Huggins."
Luo Wei and Winnie left together, and Balk stayed at home.
"Father, why do you think Miss Luo Wei wants us to make clothes for her?"
Balk said doubtfully: "Can't she just ask the servants at home to send it over?"
"What do you know," Barton scolded, "how could someone as noble as Miss Lovie use piles of old fabrics?"
"She has to change clothes every day. Does the servant at home have to come and deliver her clothes every day?"
"If her territory is thousands of miles away from here, how much manpower and material resources will it cost to deliver clothes once?"
"I just come from a noble family, and I'm not a fool."
Balk was trained so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
Seeing his son's depressed look, Barton couldn't bear it anymore and sighed: "My son, you have to know that we are businessmen."
"No matter what purpose she came to us for, as long as she can bring us benefits, we should give her enough respect."
Balk raised his head: "I know my father, and if I respect her, I cannot question her decision. She is our most distinguished guest!"
Barton touched his head: "Not a guest, but a distinguished person."
Even if you can't copy those secret recipes, just taking a look at them will be of great benefit.
Balk nodded, thoughtfully.
"By the way, that Miss Charlie is your classmate?"
"Yes, we are in the same class."
"You should thank her properly and have more contact with her. Her mind is more flexible than yours." Barton's eyes flashed.
Balke said in agreement: "Winnie is indeed smarter than me. Her scores can be among the top ten in her grade!"
Barton shook his head and turned to study the secret recipe.
It's night, and the full moon is high.
Luo Wei lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She has given away the wool textile technology. Although she cannot make an improved machine in a short time, she can make a sample of wool fabric using the existing tools and manpower.
If Huggins shop works overnight, it can weave a palm-sized piece of fabric in three days, just in time for the equestrian class.
But she wasn't sure whether the other party would go in the direction she expected. If Barton wasn't moved after seeing the quality of the raw fabric, she wouldn't be able to continue the scene.
Not to mention that she couldn't come up with a cent of the one hundred gold coins deposit, and even if she could come up with it, she wouldn't give it.
She is there to make money, not to spend money.
It depends on whether Barton is on the road or not.
Luo Wei's mind flashed through the scenes that happened today, the answers in the magic pattern class, the conversation with Athena, getting to know Winnie and Balk, discussing business with the fabric merchant Barton...
She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake, that is, her attitude towards people today was too arrogant.
