Chapter 245: Get it! Must get it!
Ming Bixu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Six hundred thousand taels of silver were spent on a recipe for making cement, and additionally, the entire Xuzhou section of the main road had to be built. It was impossible to say that it didn't hurt.

But fortunately, this price is not enough to hurt the Ming family.

And he will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

It’s just a temporary pain...just bear with it for now!

Write the price on the contract that Yunshu took out and sign your name.

I thought that today's discussion was over, Ming Bixu was already holding the contract and preparing to leave,
Yun Shu, who had just collected the contract, called him again:

"President Ming, wait a minute. I have actually prepared a small gift for you. It should be delivered soon. It won't be too late for you to leave after you take it."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

Ming Bixu quickly bowed his hands to express his gratitude, but his heart couldn't help but start beating fast -

He was not so naive as to think that Her Royal Highness would prepare some small gift for him for no reason.
I just don't know what Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess wants to do?
In just a cup of tea, many speculations had already arisen in Ming Pixu's mind.

But no matter how much he guessed, he could not have guessed that the small gift that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess mentioned would actually be a few pieces of cloth with very beautiful colors!

Is there any explanation for these pieces of cloth?
Because of this misunderstanding, Ming Pixu couldn't help but subconsciously look at it twice more.

This look really made him see the problem:
"I dare to ask Your Highness what kind of fabric this is and why I have never seen it before."

"It's a new variety. I gave it a name, cotton cloth."

Yun Shu smiled slightly and said very considerately:

"President Ming, don't worry. This cloth is very cheap. The cost of one piece is less than fifty cents."

"Less than fifty cents?"

Even though he had never done cloth business, Ming Pixu couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the price:
"Such beautiful fabric, the price is so low?"

What are the common fabrics for making clothes on the market now?
Silk, satin, damask and linen.

Needless to say, the first three are unaffordable for ordinary people.

The most common clothing for ordinary people is linen clothes.
But linen clothes are rarely dyed in nice colors. They are basically dark tones. Even if the color is slightly lighter, it always gives people a gray feeling.

Even so, a piece of linen could still be sold for one hundred to three hundred coins!

This cotton cloth is not only softer and more comfortable to the touch than linen, but the color is also very beautiful. If it is sold to ordinary people, the price can be set at three to five hundred coins, and there will definitely be a lot of people buying it!

This, this, this... a huge business opportunity!!

Ming Pixu raised his head excitedly:
"I don't know about this cloth business..."

"President Ming wants to do it?"

Yun Shu laughed:

“To be honest with you, President Ming, this cotton cloth itself is not difficult to make, the difficult part is how to reduce the cost.

This palace has also been able to successfully reduce costs because of the improved new textile machine. One textile machine can spin yarn that used to require eight textile machines in one day. And this new textile machine, this palace plans to keep until the end of the year, as a reward, to the Chamber of Commerce that pays the most commercial taxes. "

Is this actually one of the rewards that Her Royal Highness promised when she founded the Chamber of Commerce?

Although this so-called improved textile machine cannot be kept secret forever, it will certainly be learned by others in the future.
But it can be covered up for at least a year, no, at least half a year, right?
And these six months were enough for Xuzhou to occupy the cotton cloth business market.

Even if any competitors emerge in the future, when people think of the cotton cloth business, the first ones they think of cooperating with will still be their Xuzhou merchants!
Take it, must take it!
When he returned, he gathered all the merchants in Xuzhou and asked them to pay more taxes this year!

When Ming Pixu left the Ministry of Industry with the cloth in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh with excitement.

If he had not offended the Sixth Prince today, he might have had a chance to negotiate a slightly lower price for the cement recipe.

Wouldn't it be possible to use the money saved to start another small business, earn a little more money, and pay a little more business tax?

What a pity!
What Ming Pixu, who was full of remorse, didn't know was that the Sixth Prince Yun Chuhuan, who was "offended by him", suddenly lost all the anger and unhappiness on his face the moment he walked out of the Ministry of Works.

Instead, he jumped three feet high with excitement:

"Fifth sister, fifth sister, did I act really well just now?
Six hundred thousand! It’s one hundred thousand higher than the five hundred thousand you expected, Fifth Sister!"

"It's quite good."

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows, put away the contract and waved his hand:
"Wait until President Ming delivers the banknotes, and I'll give you 50,000!"

fifty thousand!!

What a beautiful living Bodhisattva his fifth sister is who saves people from suffering!
Yun Chuhuan, who was burdened with a huge debt, almost wanted to kowtow to her on the spot after hearing this number:

"Wow, wow, fifth sister, I knew you were the best one for me!
If you call me again for this kind of thing, I promise, Fifth Sister, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to bark like a dog, I will never meow!"

Yun Shu: “…”

Is that so without any bottom line?

As a prince, he is even willing to take on the job of learning to bark like a dog?

Yun Shu extended a finger in disdain and pushed Yun Chuhuan's face away from her:

"You have a nice idea. It's pure luck that you can encounter such a thing once. Do you want to happen more times?"

"Among the thirty-four states of Tiansheng, only the president of Xuzhou has come!"

Yun Chuhuan was still excited and didn't care about Yun Shu's dislike at all:
"Fifth sister, please save them for me and we'll meet next time I have a day off!"

"No need!"

The 600,000 yuan set the tone for Arimaka Hiso, and she basically used this unified price for everything afterwards.

Not willing?
Have you ever heard that if you want to get rich, build roads first?

You both want to do business, but would you rather take a flat concrete road to a clean and tidy city, or take a bumpy journey to a city with a messy road surface?
Other states have been repaired, but your state is still in tatters.
In the future, others will become better and better, and you will be ignored by less and less people...

Who can bear this!
Tsk, thirty-four states~
More than 20 million taels!

She is really rich.
hahahahahahahaha!
If my father knew this number, he would be so envious that his eyes would turn green with envy!
Yun Shu happily led Yun Chuhuan out of the side yard. He felt refreshed after experiencing the feeling of sudden wealth once again.
On the side, Yun Chuhuan, whose proposal was rejected, continued to chatter beside him without giving up:
"Fifth sister, are you really not going to try again? I think it can actually be even higher!"
