No matter how simple the structure of the factory was, it would take nearly a month to complete it, and the new machinery had to be rebuilt, and it would take time for female workers to learn to operate spinning wheels and looms, which meant that the mill would have to shut down for nearly a month.

However, Xia Nan felt that this was necessary, sharpening the knife and not cutting wood, and everything was ready to start work again, it was better than rushing to start work and have problems.

In ancient times, it was not as easy as it was to organize large-scale production of 1,000 people, and even in modern times, it was necessary to formulate production processes and work discipline.

Taking advantage of the shutdown, Xia Nan compiled a simple system for the factory, and Lin Weiye followed the last method, every time the carpenter made a batch of spinning wheels and looms, he trained a group of female workers - but this time he didn't need to teach them by hand, Fu Nanying and Tan Er's sister-in-law led a few excellent female workers as masters, and he could guide them on the spot.

Zhang Mingli from Guangzhou was out of stock, he couldn't sit still, and rushed to Lingao by boat to supervise the supply.

"Brother Xia, the cotton cloth business is so good, why don't you strike while the iron is hot, why is it still out of stock?"

Xia Nan comforted him: "Brother Zhang, don't panic, now we have so many female workers at once, we need time to train, and it will take time to expand the delivery room." As long as I am given a month, the factory will be able to resume work, and then there will be a blowout of output, and you can rest assured. ”

"That's good, I thought it wouldn't be available?"

"In fact, our cotton cloth is selling so well, and it can also stimulate the buyer's desire to buy if it is properly cut off for a few days." Xia Nan moved out of the famous hunger marketing theory of later generations.

Zhang Mingli was skeptical: "Is this okay?" ”

"If it's a street item, don't say it's out of stock, and no one cares if the store is closed." Xia Nan explained, "But the hot goods are different. For example, if Brother Zhang often goes to a shop for morning tea, the dim sum there is very good and the business is booming, and there is no place if he goes late. On which day the owner has something to do and is closed for three days, will Brother Zhang feel unaccustomed and look forward to the early opening of this store? And the day of the resumption of business must be full, and the business is very good. ”

Cantonese people have morning and afternoon tea that they can't shake, and they also like to eat refreshments in fixed shops. Zhang Mingli thought about it, as if this was the case, and nodded.

"That's true, if the refreshments in this shop are to my liking, I won't change places easily."

"The same goes for our cotton. Not only is it as smooth as silk, but it is also cheap and good, and other people's cotton cloth cannot be replaced, so not only do you not have to worry about suspending the stock, but it will definitely usher in a small climax of purchase on the day of reopening. ”

Zhang Mingli was a little excited by what he said: "I hope so." ”

"In addition, in addition to using cotton in the Li District as a material, we can also use ordinary cotton in Guangzhou, and two kinds of cotton cloth are brought to the market at the same time."

Xia Nan put forward the market plan of "high and low matching", that is, to buy ordinary cotton from Guangzhou and process it into ordinary cotton cloth, which is one percent lower than the existing "silk cotton cloth" price, and seventy percent of the market price, so as to seize the market of ordinary cotton cloth.

Zhang Mingli realized that this is also a huge business opportunity, the product should not only be "high-end goods", but also need "mid-range goods", two kinds of cotton cloth at the same time to the market - cotton cloth with silk texture is sold at the price of ordinary high-quality cotton cloth, ordinary cotton cloth is sold at a lower price to fight a price war, so that there is an ambush in front of the cotton cloth in Guangzhou, there are pursuers in the back, there is no way to live. Even if the cloth merchants are willing to reduce the price, but the cost can't compete with Qiongzhou cloth, it is still a dead end.

Zhang Mingli immediately promised to buy a large amount of cotton on the market, ship it to a high price, deduct the purchase price of the fabric at the cost price, and post the freight himself. He said he would do it and go back to Guangzhou immediately. Ten days later, the first shipment of cotton arrived.

On the other hand, Tinan Tong is willing to provide a steady stream of island cotton. Due to the continuous import of salt and ironware, the quality of life of the whole village was improved. With the sweetness, the lord of Fu Tong ordered that all the slopes of the whole mountain were planted with cotton, and suddenly the entire mountain became a cotton planting base. Because it takes a while for the cotton to turn out, he also sent people to the nearby village to buy cotton, a mountain boar 200 catties of cotton, all happy, the other party felt that the cotton was not worth much anyway, and the cotton could still make a little difference after receiving the cotton.

In the third year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, March 28, 1630 AD, it was an important day, and the expansion of the textile factory of Nanhe Lin Weiye in the summer was completed and ready to reopen for business. Unlike the last time when he made a fortune in a muffled voice, Xia Nan invited representatives of Ti Nan Tong and Qing Shui Tong to watch the ceremony this time, and also invited Master Qian, who knew him, to cut the ribbon, and of course there were red envelopes to offer.

Dozens of firecrackers were set off at the ribbon-cutting scene, and even the people in Lingao County ran out of the city to see the excitement, and the New Year in the county town was not so lively.

He was shocked by the continuous factory building covering an area of nearly 100 acres, and his heart was more determined to hold Xia Nan's thighs and build the idea of building a cotton planting base for textile mills.

The representative of Qing Shui Tong was the nephew of Huang Luo, the lord of the mountain, and after seeing the scale of the textile factory, he thought about how to get more benefits from the trade with the Han people.

Master Qian is the happiest, this Laoshizi ribbon-cutting also has a red envelope, it is simply easy and pleasant, what a correct decision to befriend this group of people in the first place.

For the naming of the textile factory, Xia Nan was quite entangled, the original name was "Lingao Cloth Workshop", but no matter how you look at it, there is a lingering small family spirit, they built a modern factory - at least from the concept and system - rather than a small workshop, and then cater to the taste of the ancients is very wronged themselves, simply called "Lingao Textile Factory", as for the aborigines of this time and space understand or not, it doesn't matter, new things are accepted always need a process, and in the future, ironmaking and shipbuilding, are all called "XX factory".

The highlight of the opening ceremony was the listing. When the plaque of "Lingao Textile Factory" was hung up, according to the arrangement of Xia Nan in advance, the scene applauded thunderously - the applause was all their own people, and they had rehearsed in advance, and the ancients did not have the habit of applauding.

This plaque is through the way of Master Qian, who spent a lot of money to ask for Mobao from Wu Mingjin, the commander of Lingao County. Wu Daxian Ling was reluctant to write an inscription for Shang Jia, thinking that it was insulting, but for the sake of fifty taels of silver for the pen fee, he pinched his nose and inscribed - no way, Lingao is a bitter place, and he is greedy for nothing.

After the excitement, it is a booming production.

Among the new employees, the efficiency of the Li female workers is still much higher than that of the Han female workers, and some of the female workers from Guangzhou are very unfamiliar with the spinning wheel and the loom. Therefore, the average daily output of Chongzhen in April of the third year was only 800 horses, which did not meet the expected target. However, after two months of running-in, it has stabilized. In May, the average daily output reached about 1,000 horses, which basically achieved the expected output.
