Chapter 472: To do business is to be one step ahead

Xu Jinzhong laughed dryly twice, and Chong Duan Shaojun arched his hand. "Childe, your talent and brain, don't say it's small, even our grandmother is also admired, before coming to Yunzhou this time, the grandmother has an explanation, let me wait, everything is under your orders. Childe, since you say that, there must be something unique for us to do on our own, right? ”

"That's nature." Duan Shaojun raised his eyebrows and took a sip of wine. "You Fangzhi, you may not know, but when you entered the city, you must have seen that there are no houses outside the city, and there are several large warehouses, right?"

"I saw it, what's the matter, could it be that those warehouses have something to do with our business?" Xu Jinzhong nodded and replied after thinking about it.

Duan Shaojun nodded and said with a smile. "Yes, when my son came to Yunzhou, he began to quietly buy wool felt, and so far, he has collected three rooms of wool felt. You may not know that it is better to die, and a tael of silver can be exchanged for a hundred pounds of wool felt......"

Xu Jinzhong looked at Duan Shaojun in a daze, and only after a while did he say with a black line on his face. "Childe, do you mean to let the little ones do the felt business? Even if that thing is sold in Jingshi, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the shipping back. ”

“…… Who told you to buy wool felt? Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes and snorted. I will let you do the business that doesn't make money? By the way, how many shoemakers did you bring with you this time? ”

"I brought with them three old shoemakers, and more than twenty apprentices who were willing to follow. By the way, there are five blacksmiths, and a dozen or so apprentices. In addition, seven or eight tailors came. Xu Jinzhong hurriedly replied. Childe, are you going to let them make clothes, hats and shoes in Yunzhou and sell them? But what was the blacksmith going to do for them? ”

"I want them to make not leather boots, but felt boots. The material used is felt. In addition, I also need someone to make some suitable clothes and pants for me, which can not only save fabric, but also keep warm, and can also be easy to move around. Duan Shaojun smiled and took out two pieces of paper from his arms, one was the appearance of felt boots, the other was an iron stove with a similar shape to the iron stove he designed in the barracks, and there was also a cross-sectional drawing.

"This is an iron stove, the outer shell is made of iron, and the inner chamber is made of yellow mud mixed with peat. The real thing is in the camp, and when the time comes, I'll bring one and build it for you. This thing can be used to burn peat, and the smoke can be sent directly to the outside of the house along this pipe without making people feel uncomfortable. In addition, even peat powder can be burned ......."

With Duan Shaojun's explanation, Xu Jinzhong and the people who accompanied him all understood Duan Shaojun's intentions, and their eyes gradually became brighter and brighter, yes, these are really unique businesses. No, it can't be said to be a unique business.

However, if you can do a good job of layout at the beginning, the profits obtained will inevitably be several times or even more than ten times that of the latecomers.

Xu's Commercial Group, Saibei Branch quietly opened the curtain in Yunzhou, quietly began to recruit workers in the local area, and on the third day of this group of people, in the west of the city, a not small house was purchased, in addition, in the east of Yunzhou City and the west of the city also placed a shop, the price is very appropriate, after all, Yunzhou is not a prosperous town, plus, although there are a large number of businessmen to come, but many people are still in the wait-and-see, so the housing prices here are still quite appropriate.

Soon, the samples of the felt boots were baked and sent to Zuo Yu Lin Wei outside the camp as soon as possible. was soon handed over to him by Duan Shaojun's personal soldiers. The package was opened, and there were three pairs of gray-and-white felt boots of various sizes.

"Childe, what kind of boots are these, looking at their material, they seem to be felt, right?" One of the soldiers asked curiously.

"The name of this boot is felt boots, what else can you say it is not made of felt?" Duan Shaojun picked one up and looked at it carefully, yes, he has strictly mentioned it repeatedly, quality first, speed second, the name of Xu's Business Group wants to start in Saibei, you must pay attention to quality problems, quality is guaranteed, then, business can be long-lasting and lasting.

Duan Shaojun gestured with his feet, took off the shoes on his feet, and stretched his feet in, well, it was really good, and it felt very warm after wearing it. And a pro-soldier next to him also tried a pair, and he ran and jumped for a long time in amazement. "Good ...... It's sturdy, and it feels warm and bouncy, Childe, where did you get it? ”

"Why, you want to get a pair too?" Duan Shaojun smiled and took off the felt boots on his feet, handed them to the pro-soldiers next to him, and watched these pro-soldiers pull out their stinky feet and try them out there, and couldn't help but have a black line on their faces.

"This thing is really good, Childe, I also want to get a few pairs to wear, it fits well and is comfortable." Qi Da also put on a pair, and after a long day of activities, he liked the authenticity.

"I'll give it to you if you like, but now is not the time to wear this thing, wait until the winter will be some time before wearing it, otherwise your feet will already stink, are you going to smoke all the patients in this room to death?" Duan Shaojun waved his hand angrily and said. "There aren't so many of them now, these are just samples, and when you do more, I'll send two pairs to each of you for the winter."

The pro-soldiers who were frolicking and grabbing boots were all smiling, and Chong Duan Shaojun thanked him again and again.

"That's great, otherwise it's freezing in this northern place, and it's cold all over, and it's good that your feet can be warmer. I really can't believe that this thing can be used to make boots, and it can be so light and warm. Qi Da stroked the thick but light felt boots with a face full of satisfaction, and he couldn't imagine that this thing could actually be made into boots.

"In addition to this, there are gloves, but they can't be made out of felt, and I was going to have them spin wool for me to make them, but unfortunately I don't understand this thing yet, but the people can make it out of cloth and cotton." Duan Shaojun smiled and explained.

"Gloves? What is this again? Isn't it like putting shoes on your hands? Qi Da thought about it and guessed a rough idea, such an IQ finally made Duan Shaojun secretly relieved, fortunately, his subordinates are not like Hu Da who only has muscles.

"Yes, when I get a sample, let you try it, see the effect, if you can, you can promote it in the northern part of the country at that time."

The execution of those craftsmen was really not covered, and soon, within a few days after the felt boots were made, several gloves were made and placed on Duan Shaojun's desk. One is sheepskin gloves, soft and smooth, and the warmth is average, and the other is an ultra-thick glove that is not divided into four fingers, which is extremely frost-resistant.

In addition, there is a kind of five-fingered glove, the workmanship of this kind of glove is more sophisticated than the glove that is not divided into four fingers, the outer sheepskin is the surface, the inside is cloth, and between the cloth and the skin, there is also a certain amount of cotton flowers, such gloves are far more than the second kind of gloves in terms of warmth and convenience. But it's a little more bloated than the first type of glove, but it's already good to be able to use it in the cold winter months.

And all these things, after they have been tried, are all stuffed back into the warehouse, and they start to be made in large quantities, and they are working hard to accumulate inventory. In addition, cotton clothes and cotton pants have also begun to be produced in large quantities, but all of this has been pressed into the inventory.

This made Xu Jinzhong very confused, yes, obviously these are all good things designed by Gongzi, and each of them, in the eyes of Xu Jinzhong, a shrewd businessman, is definitely a business that can make money, and it is a business that makes a lot of money.

But the question is why Gongzi is so revered by ghosts and ghosts, and he has to hide it for life, as if he is afraid that others will know, and all the things produced are thrown into the warehouse, and none of them are allowed to be sold.

This is equivalent to holding a cornucopia, but you can only watch the treasures inside accumulate more and more, but you don't dare to show it at all.
