Chapter One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twelve: Pursuit
After everyone left, Sun Xian looked at Han Du blankly, "You want to hand over the parts of the clock to them for manufacturing?"
"Yes." Han Du nodded indifferently.
Sun Xian lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said, "I thought your husband would let the machine shop do it himself, but I didn't expect that he would leave it to them."
Watches and clocks are all about huge profits, whether it is the most expensive gold watch or an ordinary watch. According to Sun Xian's idea, such a good business should be done by the mechanical workshop itself, so that the maximum profit can be obtained.
Because once the manufacturing of parts is handed over to his apprentices, even if the price of the parts is lowered, there must always be some profit left for them, right?
Han Du smiled slightly, leaned closer and said, "I understand what you mean."
Sighing, Han Du said with a smile, "We can do it ourselves, of course we can make the most profit, but it's not necessary."
If Handu pursues profits, he should naturally monopolize the entire watch production. But Handu wants more than just profits, he wants to promote the development of the entire machinery manufacturing industry.
Giving profits to Sun Xian's apprentices seems to be at a disadvantage. But these people can use the money to recruit and even train more craftsmen. In this way, the entire machinery manufacturing industry is like a snowball, growing more and more.
huge.
Some people may think that since they recruit and train craftsmen, why doesn't Handu do it himself?
First of all, the requirements of the mechanical workshop are too high. Even if ordinary craftsmen are recruited, they will not be of much use. If we recruit them at this time, is it to let them enter the mechanical workshop to make a living?
But this is different when Shi Qiang and others do it. They only make some simple parts. It doesn't matter even if the craftsmen don't know how to do it. It's just one part. Even if they are taught step by step, it won't take long for them to learn it.
.
"Even if it's a gold watch, I'm going to leave it to Shi Qiang and the others to make it." Han Du said with a smile.
"You also want to give them the gold watch?" Sun Xian was suddenly surprised.
"No." Sun Xian suddenly became anxious. He quickly turned sideways and faced Han Du and said, "Didn't I make this gold watch?"
"You made it." Han Du nodded in response, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, when we talk to the outside world, we will say that every gold watch is made by you, and it must be made by you."
Sun Xian understood what Han Du meant. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Isn't this just a lie?"
"How can you say it's a lie?" Han Du didn't like hearing this. He said to Sun Xian with a stern face, "They will prepare the parts and send them to the machine workshop. When you assemble them, you will do it yourself."
Already?"
"Does this mean it was made by one's own hands?" Sun Xian was stunned.
"Just tell me, did you do it with your hands?" Han Du smiled nonchalantly.
"But, but" Sun Xian was speechless. He lowered his head and tried desperately to reorganize his words to refute Han Du's words, but he couldn't find a good reason for the moment.
"But how can this be the same? What the students thought was that all the parts of the gold watch were made by students."
"If you do this, how much can you do by yourself?" Han Du shook his head repeatedly and said, "Don't look at the small volume of our shipments now, but you think that one person can handle it. In the future, gold watches will definitely be sold more and more.
, you won’t be able to do it by yourself even if you work day and night.”
"Then sell less.
." Sun Xian said sternly, "Otherwise, how can we say it was made by students?"
Han Du smiled, looked at Sun Xian and shook his head, "Do you really think they care whether the gold watch was made by you?"
Before Sun Xian could speak, Han Du said loudly, "Wrong! What they care about is your name. As long as you admit that the gold watch was made by you, then they actually don't care who made the gold watch. No matter.
Whether it was really made by you or by someone else in the machine shop, they will all obediently pay for it!"
After hearing Han Du's explanation, Sun Xian finally understood. He raised his head and glanced at Han Du, and said with a wry smile, "So, sir, from the beginning, you were not prepared to let students do it?"
Han Du made it so obvious, how could Sun Xian not think of this?
Han Du chuckled, patted Sun Xian on the shoulder, and sighed, "If you are asked to do such a small thing, wouldn't it be killing a chicken with a knife?"
"Look, you just took a look at the water transport instrument platform and built a clock for the machine workshop. How many people do you think in the world like clocks, and how many people want to buy a clock to put at home? Can we sell it?
How many watches are you going to buy? You have created an industry for the mechanical workshop directly out of thin air! If you are asked to make a few gold watches, let alone sell them for 10,000 guan, even if you sell them for 100,000 guan, it will still be a loss!"
"Sir, you don't have to praise students like this." Sun Xian was a little embarrassed by Han Du's words, and smiled dryly and lowered his head.
Han Du didn't mean to be joking at all, and said in a serious tone, "This is not a compliment, this is a fact. As long as the watch industry is not satisfied with the status quo and keeps making progress bravely, the mechanical workshop can last for decades, a hundred years, or even
It’s hundreds of years.”
"Tell me, in so many years, how many people will support their families and get rich by relying on clocks?"
Sighing, Han Du laughed and said, "Your role is much greater than you think. Every invention and creation of yours has a profound impact on the fate of countless people. You said, if I let you go
Is it a waste of money to make a gold watch?"
"This" Sun Xian became more and more embarrassed. He really couldn't find a reason to refute, so he had to lower his head and stop talking.
After the merchant surnamed Jiang and others bought gold watches, a trend suddenly became popular.
The merchant surnamed Jiang found that he didn't have to do anything now, no matter where he was. As long as he reached out and took out the gold watch from his pocket, opened the lid with a "ding" sound, and looked down at the time, he would be able to attract the attention of everyone present.
look.
Especially when he was surrounded by famous wealthy businessmen in the capital, a feeling of standing out from the crowd arose spontaneously.
As a result, countless people asked him about the origin of the gold watch in his hand. When they heard that it was written by Master Sun Xian, some people asked him to buy it on the spot.
The merchant surnamed Jiang's eyes moved, and he immediately asked for 30,000 yuan, but he failed to scare others away. There was even more than one merchant who wanted to buy, and several people even started arguing over the gold watch.
In the end, it was almost a full-scale martial arts show, but these merchants were all big-bellied, and even if they did fight, they would not be lethal, and they would just make everyone look bad.
The price of gold watches has been driven up to a sky-high price!
To be honest, when the merchant surnamed Jiang bought the gold watch from Fu Yong, he was dissatisfied with Fu Yong. The gold watch was obviously worth 10,000 guan, but he sold it to them for 20,000 guan.
But now it seems that Fu Yong is simply a living Bodhisattva with great mercy. After everyone left, Sun Xian looked at Han Du blankly, "You want to hand over the parts of the clock to them for manufacturing?"
"Yes." Han Du nodded indifferently.
Sun Xian lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said, "I thought your husband would let the machine shop do it himself, but I didn't expect that he would leave it to them."
