Rice milling machine, oil press, ginning machine, loom, and then Qiu Jin wants to see the hand-looting hosiery machine, which is actually a knitting machine, imitating the German machine, the cylinder is mainly hosiery, and the horizontal row can knit gloves and hats. Now that foreign goods have invaded, China's original cloth socks have been eliminated, and foreign socks are extremely popular, but the wool is all imported, so that in addition to the army, police and special positions, other government workers are forbidden to wear foreign socks when working.

"How much does this hosiery machine cost?" Before Yang Rui could ask, Qiu Jin spoke first.

"Back to my lord, my own products must be cheaper than foreign goods, and each hand-loom hosiery machine is only 50 yuan." Deng Tingyi, the owner of Deng Shunqi Factory, replied cautiously. The hosiery loom is still a gadget, the amount is small compared with the ginning machine, and it is not important compared with the loom, and now Qiu Jin asked, he was extremely happy.

"What if you buy more?" Qiu Jin asked. Imported German-style machines cost more than 70 yuan, and only 50 here.

"Ah, how much do you buy?" Deng Tingyi didn't understand what this woman was going to do. "Back to adults, the profit of each machine is only about 30%, if you buy more price, you can drop a little ......"

"Ahem......" Yang Rui began to speak on the side, "How much does this imported goods sell?" ”

"Back to the Prime Minister, it costs more than 70 yuan to import German goods." Deng Tingyi said.

"If the performance is similar to that of imported goods, then the price is set at a price of seven or eight percent is very appropriate, too low manufacturers will have no money to make, too high everyone wants to buy imported goods." Yang Rui said. "However, Lord Qiu wants to order, and the price will be negotiable, after all, there are many quantities, and the cost will naturally come down. But don't forget to make money. ”

Yang Rui's words made Qiu Jin displeased, but Deng Tingyi, who made hosiery machines, smiled. What they are most afraid of is that the government will oppress people with power and make them lose all their money in the end. Now Yang Rui unexpectedly stood on their position and spoke, although he was puzzled, several people were still happy. After Yang Rui finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Jin, who was thinking deeply, and asked, "What are you going to do when you buy these hosiery looms and go back?" ”

"We were going to buy some hosiery machines and go back to the women's revival meetings in various places." Before Qiu Jin could speak, Yi Weijun rushed to say it, she was young, but she was bold, and she had no awe of Yang Rui, but felt that the prime minister was extremely kind.

"And now?" Yang Rui also knows what these women mean, isn't it poverty alleviation. They are dedicated to supporting the female poor.

"I don't know now." Yi Weijun said: "This money is not easy to come by, and if you can raise so much money now, then I don't know how much money you can raise next time." If this money is turned into a hen, it will be better to lay eggs every day. ”

Becoming a hen and having eggs every day were all said by Yi Weijun, Yang Rui was just funny. Walking past the hosiery machine and into the sewing machine, he said, "Actually, it's not difficult to turn that money into a new hen." It is to set up a factory, but now there are only a few suitable for women to engage in silk reeling, cigarettes, and cotton spinning. Cigarettes require a lot of capital and strong technology, especially if there is no own planting and acquisition base, it is impossible to compete with American flue-cured tobacco. In the final analysis, these things are actually fighting for agricultural productivity, and it is difficult to do without geographical advantages, capital, technology, and policies.

What will the Women's League have. Isn't there a working woman in the world? These people are definitely not lazy, they just don't read. There are many children, and the housework is heavy. These people have a lot of things that they can't let go to the factory to work, and those who can go to the factory have no money and no education, and they are also working as coolies. This is their disadvantage, but these people also have advantages, most people can learn to be a female celebrity, not ingenious, but definitely not stupid. If this is the case, then you can buy some hosiery machines, and then buy some wool, socks, scarves, gloves, and hats. ”

Yang Rui chattered, and what he said was not very clear, Qiu Jin heard the words and asked, "Isn't this the same as what we wanted to do before?" Our previous plan was to buy some hosiery machines and give them to ......."

"I'm not talking about free, I'm selling it, or renting it." Yang Rui interrupted: "After collecting a deposit or guarantee, put it in the farmer's house, put it for a day to collect a day's money, if it is a person with good conduct, there is no need to reduce the price as a guarantee, just put the machine and wool over, a day later or three days later, hand in the finished product, how much is the salary for a pair of socks, how much is the salary for a hat, how much is the salary for a pair of gloves, as long as it is a pass of the inspection, then give money." ”

"And how do you sell all these woven things?" Qiu Jin asked, Yang Rui's method made her seem to feel something new.

"Of course, the sale was sold by the Women's Revival Association." Yang Rui was suddenly worried about whether those women could manage this family-style production model well, and emphasized: "Selling is not a problem, how to monitor the quality of finished products, material loss and the normal operation of maintenance machines is the key." If these are done, you can go to Tiantong Trading Company, or even other foreign companies. You import the yarn from Australia, and then you give it to the women workers to make it at home, and then sell it at home and abroad, and then the business is alive. This thing doesn't want to be the same as cotton yarn, but parquet color, as long as the thing is beautiful, a few cents and a few pennies more, foreigners will not care. ”

Yang Rui seemed to be painting cakes, and suddenly took out the processing of the incoming materials of later generations, and it was also the Wenzhou lighter version - no big investment is required, it is completely produced in a family workshop, and when the farm is slack, the housewives are also idle, and normal female workers need a monthly salary of one or two taels, and their one-tenth is enough. However, the disadvantages of this model are that it cannot rush the goods urgently, and the quality is difficult to control, but it is still very effective for women's income.

He said that the prospects are good, but Qiu Jin, who knows a little about this industry, questioned: "But I don't wear Western clothes in China, and I don't wear foreign socks, and when I sell them abroad, the foreigners' tariffs are several times that of us, can the price be cheaper than the foreigners' local goods?" ”

Qiu Jin's question is indeed the key, but Yang Rui can't say anything in detail under the miscellaneous words, so he just pointed to the sewing machine and said, "I'll talk about this question later." You see this, this is a sewing machine, it's better than a hosiery machine, it's making clothes, and a person can buy clothes for more money than for socks. ”

Hearing the prime minister say that the sewing machine was good, He Yaotang, the owner of the Jinchang Machinery Factory, narrowed his smiling eyes into a slit, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Your Excellency, the sewing machines produced by the factory have been sold to the Nanjing Military Quilt Factory. After using it, the adults said yes. Now the factory is expanding the scale of the factory and preparing to expand... Expansion of production capacity. ”

He Yaotang has participated in the management training organized by the Ministry of Industry. For him, an old track from Hengfeng Yarn Factory (similar to today's mechanical engineers), he memorized those things. Seeing Qiu Jin's puzzled look. He took out another advertisement for a sewing machine and said: "My lord, the Americans have experimented that it takes a skilled tailor 14 hours and 25 minutes to sew a shirt, while with a sewing machine, it takes only 1 hour and 16 minutes." This is to make clothes, sewing shoes with a sewing machine can make 900 pairs in 10 hours, and the most by hand is 80 pairs. This sewing machine can sew 374 stitches per minute, compared to 7 stitches by hand. If you buy our sewing machine......"

He Yaotang was full of Anhui dialect, and when these numbers were compared, Yang Rui, who had never heard of it, was taken aback when he heard it at first, but Yu Qiaqing smiled on the side: "Lao He, you stole the advertisement of the American singer again." ”

"Hahaha......" People who are familiar with the inside story are laughing, these numbers were originally used by American Singer for advertising, no wonder the example is American. Yang Rui also laughed when he heard this, with his later experience in medical equipment companies, the advertising of domestic imitation equipment will definitely mention those foreign brands that are imitated. But he has no prejudice about this, and the imitation of foreign machines in later generations is a reward for the country, and now it is a skill to imitate it. He smiled and said kindly, "What is your name......?"

"Back to the adult, the little ...... Contemptible He Yaotang. Anhui Anqing Ren's ...... "He Yaotang saw Yang Rui asking, and his back suddenly numb, the exhibition has been from the beginning to the present. Yang Rui has not taken the initiative to ask him for other people's names.

"Master He, no. It should be called Boss He. Is there any difference between your sewing machine and Singer...... I'm talking about patents, and the government won't start enforcing patent laws when the time comes. Singer sewing machine is looking for you trouble, right? Because of the sharp question, Yang Rui spoke more and more kindly.

"Lord Hui, this sewing machine is an imitation of foreigners, but it is not an imitation, nor is it completely copied from them, there are always some improvements. If you really take out a Singer sewing machine to compare, you can ensure that they can't find a problem. He Yaotang knew about the patent issue from the training class, so the answer to this question was categorical.

"Good!" Yang Rui nodded, he was worried that these people had copied too completely. When the time comes, as soon as the Americans track it down, Dali Temple will not know how to judge.

When he was relieved about this, some of the factory owners around him were not at ease. There were patents in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but there were some brand names in them, and there were no technical patents, and the New Dynasty had promulgated a draft patent law before, but the specific law has not come out. These factories are all imitations of other people's machines, and once the imperial court begins to implement the patent law, their business will be greatly affected. With these uneasiness, Fu Caiqin, who made the ginning machine, said: "Prime Minister, this ...... Does the imperial court really want to enforce the patent law? ”

As soon as he asked, everyone else asked, "Yes! Your Excellency, is this patent law really going to be enforced? Our machines are all imitations of foreigners, this is ...... But it cut us off. ”

Seeing that everyone was concerned about this issue, Yang Rui smiled and said: "Then tell me yourself, when you have worked hard to create a machine, how long will it take for your kung fu to be imitated by others?" ”

Yang Rui's question only made these people speechless, just now when He Yaotang boasted about the sewing machine, those factory owners who made ginning machines thought about whether they should also build sewing machines in the off-season, once the patent law is implemented, it will be a lot of trouble to imitate it as before.

Yang Rui saw that everyone didn't speak, but he began to talk at length, "Imitation is not an embarrassing thing for us, and the German and American machines on the market are all imitations of the British and French in the past. Not to mention the Japanese machine, they used to copy the European and American machine qì and then sell it to us. That is to say, for backward countries, imitation is the only way to go.

But this is not to say that we have to imitate it for the rest of our lives, if this is the case, it will be useless for a lifetime. After the first person imitated the silk reeling machine, he sold it for 100 taels, and then a few imitations came out later, selling for 70 taels, and finally a large group of imitations came and sold for 50 taels. So the more you make it, the worse it gets, and in the end you don't make money, you can't improve it if you don't make money, you can't make a new machine, and in the end, the foreign machine comes to you, compared with it, the difference between the two is 108,000 miles, and the result is that no one buys domestic products, all buy foreign goods, and the industry is completely cut off.

In the government's view, anyone in any industry who has ideas and dares to put them into practice must be protected. How can it be protected? It is protected by patents. One man came out, and then a swarm followed. The price is getting lower and lower, and the things are getting worse and worse. Such an industry will not have any future, because there is no creative force. Now the government uses the state's tax revenue to support the industry, and in the end, what you get is that it will only follow the same and will not create a zào industry, so the money is spent in vain. If this is the case, why not invite foreigners to set up factories in China? They also have to hire workers and pay taxes when they come to set up factories.

In the final analysis, the patent law is to force your ideas, so as to save everyone from swarming to make one thing and make the industry bad; Also protect those who can use their brains. What doesn't make money this year won't make money next year, and it will start losing money the year after next. As soon as this law is promulgated, there is only one kind of person who really suffers, and that is those who are unwilling to use their brains. If you are such a person, then there is no way, the state does not intend to support such people. ”

Yang Rui quickly cut off his words, he hated to speak, but many times he had to speak. However, his words made everyone present begin to ponder. There are many people who have suffered the loss of not having a patent, and they have also gained the benefit of not having a patent, and from the perspective of international competition, it is not good to issue patents. Because it will be more difficult to imitate foreign machines in the future, at least it is necessary to bypass patents, and it can stand from a domestic perspective. Patents can protect themselves from being followed by other factories, and peers are enemies. In their own experience, it is their domestic counterparts that pose a greater threat.

All kinds of agricultural machinery, ginning machines, hosiery machines, looms, printing machines, sewing machines. These are the natural growth of the industrial status quo of Greater China, although after support, but the technology and scale still can't come up, what Yang Rui saw at the exhibition is not what makes Yang Rui satisfied, only one thing makes him enlightened, that is, most of the owners of these factories are from large factories and ships. Maybe college students should start their own businesses, or state-owned enterprises should strengthen the support for their own technical backbone entrepreneurship, those people's starting point is much higher than these people, and the factories they run are probably much better than these people.

When Yang Rui was denying the first batch of industrial support projects, Qiu Jin was thinking about what Yang Rui just said about selling clothes to foreign countries, she had been abroad, and studying in the UK for a few years made her understand how high the living standard of foreigners is, a formal and decent dress, many times over fifty pounds, is the usual clothes, many coats are also a few pounds, if you can sell clothes made in China abroad, it would be great, but is this feasible?

"Actually," in the carriage that went to ask for the new shipyard, when Yang Rui lit a cigarette, Qiu Jin took the opportunity to shout, "What you said just now ......"

"Oh, that thing about making clothes, right?" Yang Rui then remembered that Qiu Jin was still waiting for his own idea. "Xuanqing, do you know that Tianzihao has a silk chain store in the United States?"

"Hmm." Qiu Jin nodded, she knew that it was the royal industry, which had been opened all over Europe and the United States, and most of the waiters in it were palace maids who had been cleared out of the palace, and these palace maids could go home to marry after five years, but I heard that many foreigners proposed to these palace maids, and I don't know if it was true or not.

"According to the market figures, the United States has an annual ready-to-wear market share of $1.5 billion, and Europe is not the same as that. The market is so big, although there are many people doing it, but there will always be gaps, especially in Europe and the United States, the wages of laborers are much higher than ours, and the salary of Americans is two US dollars a day, which is equivalent to the salary of ordinary female workers for a month. One to thirty, how big is the difference? The fabric is the same, our labor is basically negligible, and the price difference comes out. This is an advantage, but the more troublesome thing is that as long as the style of the clothes is good, people are willing to pay a few more dollars, so it is not enough to be cheap manually, but also to understand the design.

Finally, there is a more troublesome thing, that is, do not have diplomatic accidents, for example, Japan also wears Western clothes, once China and Japan go to war, the trade will be cut off, and the clothes made will not be sold; Or if there is no war, as long as the owners of the garment factories in Japan persuade the Japanese government to increase the tariffs several times at once, the clothes will not be sold. Oh, by the way, forget jì, the exchange rate is also very important, the price of silver rises and falls, as long as there is some problem in the settlement of foreign exchange, that is, to sell clothes, in the end it will also be a loss. ”

Yang Rui listed all the questions one by one, so that Qiu Jin only nodded when she listened, she also thought about this, but she didn't think about it so carefully.

"With so many questions, can't you do this business? No. There are many things that we can avoid, and we can't gain an advantage diplomatically with the European and American powers, but those small countries in South America, our warships can still have a deterrent effect. Mexico immediately apologized. And what else Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Peru, they need clothes, and we can feed their governments, these countries can go and sell clothes. In short, the world is so big, there will always be gaps.

As for the price of silver, this is a problem, and the household department is also trying to find a way to solve it, and it is estimated that this problem will improve in about ten years. There is also design, foreigners' clothes are referred to Europe, since they can be so, then we can also send people to Europe, like the imitation machine qì general, we can also imitate those clothes, after the board plate making began to cut and sew, this is not difficult, as long as you have specialized talents, there are people who understand management, technology, foreign trade, and market, as long as there are these people, not a few years, your 200,000 will be doubled. ”

"But I'm just nobody." Yang Rui said the truth, but the more Qiu Jin listened, the more bottomless she became, European design, Chinese production, and American sales, such a global collaboration made her feel like a book in the sky.

"No one can please you!" Yang Rui said: "You know, that's how our soybeans are sold. It is planted in China, manufactured in the Philippines and sold in Europe and the United States. Ready-to-wear garments are a bit more troublesome, but they can't be more complicated than soybeans, right? You can take some money and go to the School of Economics and Management in Tongji University, what kind of market research company they have set up, you first ask them to do a market research for you, this global survey, it is estimated that it will cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. If they say that they can do it, then you can spend another 20,000 or 30,000 yuan and let them make a specific plan for you, and finally take the plan and dig people, which will also cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan......"

One went out for twenty or thirty thousand, then another twenty or thirty thousand, and finally two or thirty thousand, Qiu Jin's heart was beating when she heard it, she was only 200,000 and a few hundred yuan. If she went to Tongji University Hall, the money was nearly half less, which made her feel at ease.

Looking at his appearance, Yang Rui smiled: "I said the normal price, you said that I asked you to go, it is estimated that there will be a seven or six discount." This money must be paid, and these small coins will not be wasted. ”

"Really useful?" Qiu Jin was skeptical, but knew that Yang Rui didn't need to deceive people.

"Absolutely useful!" Yang Rui nodded, "Those companies in Tianzihao are all doing market consulting there. If you want to go, it's better to go early, their habit is to only accept one customer per industry, so that each customer can be reassured. ”

As soon as Tianzi said, Qiu Jin's doubts suddenly disappeared, and when Yang Rui entered the Qiuxin Shipyard, she took her followers to Tongji University Hall. Yang Rui just smiled when he saw her go away, but when he saw 6 Dream Bear the next day, his face was terrifying. "You kid! Is the guy down there big? Marry dozens of concubines, the whole world is crazy, and the face comes to see me! ”

"Sir......" 6 Dream Bear's fat face was full of sweat, and he felt that he was a decrepit person. He was in Heilongjiang at the time of the uprising, there was no war, and after a few drinks, he took down the two provinces of Heiji, and the Russians, the officials and gentry, and the local people were also satisfied. Last year, when it came to meritorious service, he was supposed to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, but he didn't want to drink in Beijing and make a mistake, so the lieutenant general became a major general.

"Mr. Return......" Yang Rui scolded angrily. Now the whole world says that there are masters, there are apprentices, and your reputation has been ruined by you! Today, you can talk about how that guy Qiu Jin bewitched you. ”

"Ah......" 6 Dream Bear began to be stupid, "sir, those women...... Poor background... The situation is also pitiful...... Several of them were crying in front of me, and I ...... I can't see women cry the most, as soon as they cry, cry endlessly, I just... And I relented. ”

"it! Didn't you get tricked into getting into bed by them, and then you agreed to make a fuss, right? Yang Rui watched him make stupid hates that iron does not become steel, 6 Mengxiong has good talent and good luck, but he has some inexplicable things.

"Ah......" The question was to the point, and 6 Mengxiong sweated profusely and his face turned red. He did fall for the beauty trick of the Women's Revival Association, as soon as a woman with a miserable background cried after rejoicing with him, he began to soften his heart, and the tigress below Qiu Jin explained again, saying that as long as he did not register with the Civil Affairs Bureau, he would not be married, let alone violate discipline, all he had to do was go through the motions...... And then he was fooled...... (To be continued!)
