Chapter 279: Identifying Dealers

Chang's first visit, the results were very good, almost every participant was quite satisfied, and put forward the idea of cooperation.

It's not that Zhao Xin is attractive enough, a small abdicated prince, maybe some people will post it, but let the entire Great Song Dynasty, who have a total wealth of more than 500 million yuan, come over, and Zai Fu can't do it.

However, this exhibition was quite successful, and half of the 320 sellers had basically a goal on the iron.

This is not an ordinary small businessman, the kind of one-time purchase of dozens of yuan, these are the objects that have paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and even in the future, after determining the dealer, more deposits will be paid.

It is conceivable what a leap forward the business of the blacksmith workshop will usher in.

Wang Song looked at Zhao Xin, like a monster, he personally participated in the first and second day of the visit, the first day of ironware, the second day of steamed buns and soap, and then, these big businessmen directly handed over the good intentions, which made him incredible.

He knew that as long as this matter was confirmed, not to mention the blacksmith workshop, even steamed buns and soap would take off, and the handwriting of the big businessmen was not something he could imagine, and generally exceeded the basic amount originally set.

Maybe in the next quarter, in the iron business, there will be more than one million, or even 3 million yuan, Zhao Xin is right, these are two fists, the government's order, just a starting point, this is the real big head.

Now, the cost of ironware has been reduced from 17 pieces of the contract at the beginning to a little less than 12 pieces, and the supply price of 35 pieces of iron tools is about 3 times the profit, which seems not to be low, but it depends on what it is compared with.

Civilian products are the largest, unlike other blacksmith workshops, the processing cost of a pound of iron may be about 30-60 wen per catty, the more complicated, the more difficult it is to cast something, the higher his price.

However, in the blacksmith workshop, not only changed the production of iron, so that the price of iron was greatly reduced, but also tried every possible way to replace the original labor with machines in the production of various civilian products, and achieved initial results.

To use an analogy, the most terrible thing is the machine for making bowls and pots, this machine, as long as there is a slightly trained worker, plus two pure coolies, can operate, and can produce more than 5,000 bowls a day, how much each one costs.

The salary level of these is about the same as that of ordinary masters, about 30 per month, so that the average is 3 times a day, and 3 people are almost 3 times.

Then, the cost of processing a bowl is only less than a penny for a bowl, even if it is added before, for the processing and cutting of iron sheets, it does not exceed 2 yuan, but the selling price is as high as 75 yuan.

In other words, a bowl can be sold for 5 times his cost, and this profit is enough to explode.

That is to say, as long as the civilian products are at full capacity and continue to sell, it is possible to run tens of millions or even 20 million a year.

This is the correct way to open industry, just like Britain after the industrial age, why use a war to open the market, the key is how poor the place, as long as there are people, industrialization can make huge profits.

The industrial production of cotton cloth beats the hand-produced grey cloth, and a piece of cloth may only make a small profit, but the sales of that year, reaching 100 million horses, or even more, add up to an astonishing profit.

The blacksmith workshop of this era did not have the scene of swallowing mountains and rivers in later England, but it was almost the same.

Ironware, miraculous neutralizers, and soaps have replaced the original treasures and made the news.

And the first batch of big businessmen, they did not publicize it, and it was Zhao Xin who released the news.

Speculation, publicity, these are all things that can be learned in the information age, without teaching, at the beginning of these merchants, what do they represent, their total control of funds, reached more than 40 million, this is still the funds that reached the daimyo's mansion, accounting for almost one-third of the total funds.

They were persuaded that if they were willing to participate, the whole auction and the dealers' meeting would be a success, and when most of the dealerships were sold, the blacksmith's workshop would take off.

The merchants in the back, they also began to be anxious, the status is different, the first batch of merchants, whether it is their own status, or the family background, are much higher than the second and third batches, they are curious at the same time, but also have improved the evaluation of the blacksmith workshop.

Until I saw the real thing.

Compared with these big businessmen, these small and medium-sized businessmen are more pragmatic, they have as much power as they do, and compared with the huge big businessmen who shop in the stalls, they are all human spirits and local landlords, and they are more aware of their own advantages.

After almost 5 days, all those who are interested have visited all the products, and the form has been sent, according to the results of the feedback now, everything is fine, the most popular 30 cities, at least 20 people compete, among them, which are the strongest businessmen, have put the goal on the big city.

Bianliang, this is probably one of the most popular cities, millions of people, the capital, concentrated the entire Northern Song Dynasty nobles, families and big merchants, one third of the giant merchants who came over, are from Bianliang.

They also know how terrible the market in Bianliang is.

After visiting the Daimyo's Mansion, they learned that at present, the Daimyo's Mansion and the shops opened by the blacksmith's workshop have obtained a monthly sales volume of 500,000 kan, and when comparing the price and their profits, they have at least one-third of the profits.

A city that is only one-fifth of Bianliang has such sales, so what will happen to Bianliang, which is richer, more concentrated, and more marketable.

This is made with a slight comparison, Bianliang's plate can be at least 3 million per month, even if it is an average of several people, there is at least a profit of more than 200,000 yuan, no one is tempted by this.

That's right, among the big businessmen, some people have more than 10 million family properties, and even anytime and anywhere, they can mobilize more than 2 million guan of wealth to invest in a certain thing, at this point, even the three divisions may not be their opponents, but the minimum is 2.5 million guan a year, and the most exclusive may exceed 12 million guan of profit, this wealth, no one is not tempted.

This is still the first year, this is still the blacksmith workshop, the new product has just been launched, in the future, when the blacksmith workshop technology, further leading, the production of more products, what will be.

They also heard Niu Dali say that recently, a kind of enamel is being studied.

That is to say, on top of ironware, the upper layer of ceramics, once completed, cheap, beautiful, and can be mass-produced enamel, will inevitably replace porcelain and become the darling of the market.

Now, ironware is relatively low-end, just because, the appearance is ordinary, just like the original black pottery, the reason why it is declining is not because of his poor performance, or because he is too ugly.

Beauty and ugliness are natural evaluation criteria, people naturally like things that are close to beauty, and dislike ugly things, which is nature and something in the bones.

But once the beautiful enamel is used to cover the black and swarthy surface of the ironware, how will it be laughed?

According to Niu Dali, as long as it is not a high-temperature container, for example, the kind that needs to be heated, enamel can be used, from quilts, kettles, to a variety of daily necessities, enamel is very versatile.

The enamel that Niu Dali said is also the next focus, and finding the right enamel for smearing on the surface of iron is the focus, but this work is only the initial stage.

Simply finding the right enamel material is not an easy task, this is a new process, and even the same work as ceramics, and this ceramic material, is not cheap, is not easy to process, is not convenient to color, these will become problems.

Zhao Xin is not an industrial engineer, nor is he a scientist in science and engineering, at most he has a card system, and he has chemistry knowledge at the beginning of high school.

These are on the enamel, no use at all, as the most common used in later generations, the daily necessities in the whole family, most of them are enamel materials in the 21st century, he knows what enamel is all about, but processing, is confused, at most point, so that the researcher has a simple direction, the rest, just by luck.

After having the card system, the only biggest benefit is that no matter how low the yield rate is, no matter how complex the process, as long as one can be produced, it will definitely be produced, which is the 100% confidence that the card system gives him.

Enamel is a vision, the key is that now, there is not enough profit, prospects, to attract big businessmen, they will not be enthusiastic, after 5 days of visiting, 2 days of preparation, the form recycling began.

From the first one, Wang Song saw money, yes, a lot of money.

The most fierce competition is Bianliang, a total of 49 businessmen, put forward intentions, the highest, is not a giant businessman, but a medium businessman named Chen Sanfu, his family property is not much, about 2 million, this time the funds carried are a lot, up to 400,000, almost all the liquidity that can be used by the fake foot.

And his goal is also very clear, to insert a hand in Bianliang, not to catch more fish, but to set the plate at the end of Bianliang, and at one time, 400,000 guan, all smashed on the iron products.

You must know that the standard for Bianliang to start is only to order 50,000 guan of goods, and he smashed it 8 times at once, and agreed to the condition that the monthly sales reached 120,000 guan, of course, it was the first place.

In addition to the variable of Chen Sanfu, the biggest change is actually Jia Deyong, he gave up Bianliang, Henan and Yingtianfu, but in Sichuan, Shaanxi and other underground hands, these far away from the waterway, but also underdeveloped areas, not many people compete, actually made him the largest number of dealers.
