Chapter 318 Do You Want to Do It Together?

First of all, we do not have the ability to control the source of raw materials, then the technology can be easily learned by others, and we do not have the technology to curb others. Finally, we do not have the ability to mass-produce wool sweaters to seize the market, so we cannot achieve the goal of having what others do not and having something new while others do.

The time difference that can really make money is probably the short time difference before the imitation products appear. And this time difference is still controlled by others. After all, there are many people who are richer, more powerful and more capable than you. Once the imitation wool sweater appears, you will be outnumbered and beaten to death on the beach.

Lord Pei nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. What you are worried about now is,

First, you don’t have enough capital. Even if you have enough money, but it’s been held for too long, you’re worried about the capital not being able to turn around.

Second, you cannot control the source material.

Third, you can’t hide this technology, and imitations will appear soon.

Fourth, the finished products are too slow to be produced, and you can’t achieve scale and seize the market. Once they lower the price, you will have a backlog and can’t sell them, right?”

Hualei nodded.

"I think the fourth point is easy to solve. If it can't be sold in Shangjing City or the south, then sell it to Mobei. The soldiers will definitely need it. Make it thicker. It doesn't need to be as delicate as mine. It just needs to keep warm. I'll ask Jin'er's father to buy it from you.

There is also my shop in Mobei Town, which can also be promoted to the caravans passing by. It will definitely sell well, and the price will not be low, and it does not need to be so exquisite. In addition, before I came back, I also bought a shop in Modong Town in the other direction and kept a trustworthy person.

Next, we will start selling rice wine, soap and toothbrushes. Then, you can also sell your sweaters there. The weather in the Donghu tribe past Modong Town is also very cold, and they also need down vests and sweaters. So you don't need to worry about selling.

As for the problem that you cannot control the source of raw wool, if you can control most of the source raw materials, will it work? I have been in Mobei for decades and I know the situation there very well. As far as I know, the herders in Mobei also graze in different areas, which are roughly divided into three areas.

I am very familiar with two of them and have received my favor before. If I step in, I can help you sign contracts with the herders in these two areas. You can pay a small deposit first, and then when you get the raw wool during the shearing season, you can pay part of the payment. In this way, you will have about 60% to 70% of the raw wool.

Then you spin it into wool yarn and sell it. Don't worry about the rest. After the sale, pay the balance to the herders. Do you think it's okay? But it's a pity to do so. I think the big profit should be in the second half. "Old Marquis Pei picked up the teacup with some regret and took a sip of tea.

Hualei smiled bitterly and said, "Grandfather Pei, you are right. I also think that the big meat is in the back. In fact, making raw wool into wool yarn is the dirtiest and most tiring job. We did the hardest job, but earned less money than the second half. It feels like making wedding clothes for others.

Although we can raise the price of wool yarn, once we raise the price, the technology is not difficult, and others will definitely do it themselves. Even if we can sign a contract with the herders, the wool in the first half of the year cannot be snatched away, but the wool in the second half of the year will still be snatched away. I don’t have so much money. If I sign a three-year contract, I must pay a three-year deposit.

Moreover, the shearing season is too concentrated, only twice a year, and each time lasts less than two months, so the money I need will be concentrated in these two shearing seasons. It is impossible to spread it out over a long period of time every month, which is very stressful for me. "

In fact, Hua Lei was led astray by Lord Pei's preconceived words. Sometimes she was purchasing in large quantities, and sometimes she was monopolizing the raw wool, so she had both right and wrong ideas.

It does take a long time to make wool sweaters from raw wool, and the cost is indeed high. I don’t have much money, but can I just do as much work as I have? Your wool sweaters are made slowly, and others can’t be much faster. In a short period of time, they are all made by hand in the most primitive way.

If other people's counterfeit products appear, and the selling price is the same as yours, then there is no need to worry at all. If others lower the price, you can adapt to the situation accordingly. You want to make money, and others also want to make money. It is impossible for others to lower the price below the cost. They can only make more or less money. If they really can't make any money, the worst that can happen is that you can quit the wool sweater industry.

She was still thinking about monopoly, which was really too dark. It might be because of the psychological trauma caused by the recent impact on Yuanying Village’s vegetables, or it might be because she was too weak, and Hualei was always worried that someone would kill her. Unconsciously, she was thinking in an extreme way.

However, Hua Lei soon figured out the key to this matter. If the wool sweaters can be backed by the Mobei Army, it is still possible to do this. Then you should prepare more silver, stock up more raw wool, make more wool sweaters and prepare them. Then send a batch to the Mobei Army and prepare more to sell in Shangjing City. Even if there are counterfeits in Jiangnan Prefecture, it will be after I sell a batch myself.

Rong Jin had given her ten thousand taels before, and she later returned it to Old Madam Pei. However, Old Madam Pei said that things that had been given away could not be taken back, and she refused to accept it, so the ten thousand taels of silver note was still in her hands.

At the beginning, I made up an excuse and told Rong Jin Zhenzhu that I had a new project. Since the 10,000 taels of silver notes could not be returned, why not cooperate to make wool sweaters? Anyway, the more raw wool we can buy, the better.

Hua Lei's mind was spinning, and so was the mind of Old Marquis Pei, who was sitting opposite her.

Jin'er asked me to help him marry Lei'er. It would be risky for me to ask directly. How about tying Lei'er and the Marquis' Mansion to the same boat first? Wouldn't Jin'er have a better chance this way?

It has to be said that Marquis Pei and Madam Pei are really a couple, and their ideas and methods are similar. At the beginning, the winery of the Marquis was the idea of ​​Madam Pei to tie the flower buds to a boat in the Marquis.

"Lei'er, how about we do it together?" Lord Pei, who was sitting opposite, spoke.

Hua Lei was startled, looked at Old Marquis Pei, and asked, "How can we do it together?"

“Well, I can provide the money and you provide the craftsmanship. We can stock up on some raw wool, and then make wool sweaters and sell them directly instead of wool yarn. I don’t understand the specific operations, but we will do whatever you say. I’ll listen to you.” Old Marquis Pei still had that “honest” smile on his face, but Hua Lei always felt that this smile was a bit like Grandma Wolf’s smile.
