Once these five hundred spinning wheels are sold, after deducting the money distributed to the apprentices, Old He Shao said that he can make five hundred taels. Five hundred taels! Even if he gives up now, these five hundred taels are enough for their family.
The rest of my life has passed.
He originally prepared 500, but he was worried that he would not be able to sell them all this year. Who knew that the people in Lushan Village alone would not be able to buy them. Is Lushan Village so rich? Of course, Lao He did not know that some villagers bought them for their relatives and friends.
.
If he had known this, he and his disciples would have had to fight a lot more even if they had no time to eat.
He has to thank Yuan Suijun and Su Yueling, who designed the blueprint. Thanks to them, he was able to make this fortune.
He answered their questions with a smile on his face, "This drawing was given to me by Yuan Xiucai from Lushan Village, so I will give priority to helping people in Lushan Village do it. How about you register, leave your name and deposit, and pay first?"
The deposit will be sent over as soon as it’s ready.”
Yuan Xiucai taught him the method of making a deposit.
This can also avoid some losses if the customer regrets it. It happens that Lao He's second apprentice can read a little. Although he is not as fluent as other scholars, he can still help register his name and home address.
After paying the deposit, he gave the person who issued the deposit a note with his seal on it.
When they heard that they needed to collect a deposit, some people gave up. But the villagers in Lushan Village were different. They came here with money and were eager to buy it back early, so they registered very actively one by one.
"You have to hurry up. How about you find a few more people to help? I don't want to wait for a long time."
People have a herd mentality. When they saw so many people rushing to pay the deposit, as if they missed the village and there would be no such store, they suddenly felt that if they got it late, they would suffer a big loss.
Lao He has been in this business for more than twenty years. Everyone recognizes him and knows that he is not the kind of person who swallows people's money.
After hesitating for a while, some people went back to discuss with their families to get money to buy this. Others, even if they didn't buy it, were busy gossiping with their relatives and friends.
Word of the bustle in Lao He's place quickly spread. The county itself is not that big, and the word spread from one person to ten, and from one ten to a hundred. In less than a day, many people knew that the carpenter Lao He was selling three-spindle spinning wheels here.
The new spinning wheel is much better than the current spinning wheel.
People in Lushan Village went crazy buying it, and all 500 of them were sold out on the first day. Now there are still many people waiting in line, even paying a deposit of five yuan.
Five hundred were sold out in one day. As soon as this news came out, everyone was immediately shocked. Is it a lie? How could so many be sold in one day? This bragging was not done at all.
The people who were questioned immediately became upset and said that if you don’t believe it, just ask other people or go to Lushan Village to have a look.
People who did not believe in evil went to Lushan Village in person, and after witnessing the efficiency of the pedal spinning wheel, they came back to promote it to their relatives and friends.
When the other carpenters saw Lao He making a lot of money, they were very excited. Is this spinning wheel so easy to sell? Or they will follow suit? They just don't know whether this new spinning wheel is easy to make.
They immediately went to Lushan Village to see what the spinning wheel looked like. However, without drawings or samples in hand, it would take time to completely imitate it. If the spinning wheel they made was not as good as this
, customers are not fools, they will definitely not pay for it.
Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can see that the sooner this spinning wheel can be copied, the sooner it can make money. In fact, the best way is to pay the villagers in Lushan Village to buy one back.
It's just that the villagers spent one tael and eight yuan to buy it. Unless the carpenters paid more than four taels, they wouldn't be willing to sell it.
Four taels immediately persuaded several carpenters to quit. Finally, two carpenters gritted their teeth and bought it at a high price.
Lao He also knew that there must be colleagues imitating him, but instead of trying to stop them, it would be better to spend more time and make a few fights. Moreover, if he eats meat, he must also give others a chance to drink soup, otherwise he will be resented and tripped up.
of.
The common people these days are very down-to-earth, and this kind of thing that can actually improve textile efficiency is highly praised by them. It has been the focus of everyone's discussion for several days in a row. It can be said that it is a well-deserved hot spot.
Under such circumstances, the news of the three-spindle spinning wheel soon reached the ears of the pawnshop manager in Guangning County, and it was the pawnshop clerk who mentioned the matter.
The shopkeeper can be regarded as Wu Shilin's confidant, and he knows a lot about the three-spindle spinning wheel. When he heard it at first, he couldn't help being shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure you heard it right?"
The clerk who didn't know the inside story nodded, "Yes, that's what it's called. It's said to be stepped on by foot, which is much less laborious than the original hand crank. Shopkeeper, do we have to tell the master over there in the state capital?"
After all, the Wu family is in the cloth shop business, so it would definitely be beneficial if they could get this earlier. As a reminder, he might even get some reward money.
The shopkeeper kept repeating the words "three-spindle spinning wheel" and looked in a daze.
How could this happen? Why do everyone in the streets know about this now? Isn't that Ding Tieniu dead? Logically speaking, only the Wu family should know about it. No, there is also the Yuan family.
It’s just that the Yuan family didn’t grab the blueprints. Isn’t this something that should be done?
"Shopkeeper!"
Seeing that he was in despair, the waiter couldn't help but raise his voice to remind him.
The shopkeeper trembled and woke up, "Yes, I have to report it to the master!" His expression turned ferocious, and his voice was gritted, "Do many people own these three spinning wheels?"
The clerk scratched his head and said, "It's quite a lot. I heard that five hundred of them were sold on the first day. The carpenter who made this almost made a fortune. I heard that he is already looking at the new house."
The waiters looked envious. They liked to hear stories about getting rich overnight. For their status, making more than a hundred taels in one day was like a dream.
Five hundred! They actually sold so many. It’s over. I’m afraid it won’t take long for this spinning wheel to spread completely. So many people bought this spinning wheel, and the Wu family couldn’t suppress it even if they wanted to.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but take a step back, the color on his face faded, "Where does the carpenter live?"
He had to see with his own eyes whether the spinning wheel over there was the same as the one bought by the owner.
The shopkeeper was very concerned about this matter and ran over there in person. After seeing the spinning wheel with his own eyes, he was even more excited.
The style of this spinning wheel does not look as complicated as the one the Wu family bought from Ding Tieniu, but it is roughly the same, and it is also more than four times more efficient. It can be said that the drawings the Wu family got are for this spinning wheel.
Designed on the basis of.
That hateful Ding Tieniu actually leaked the blueprints. If Ding Tieniu hadn't already died without a complete body, the shopkeeper would have ordered his grave to be dug out and his body whipped.
This matter must be reported to the master as soon as possible.
