The three of them carefully guarded Qin Di, but Qin Di seemed to have entered a state of selflessness.
She no longer had the slightest awareness of the outside world, and just concentrated on what she was doing.
Everything she still remembered in her mind was written out. Before finishing, Qin Di hit her head with her hand, and then remembered something again. When the last stroke was written, the girl let out a long sigh of relief, and then said unconsciously.
.
"Finally there is a way!"
The others, who were left alone in confusion, had question marks on their faces, "??"
Putting down the pen and paper, Qin Di turned her head and said, "Ah, you are all here? Oh, by the way, where is Uncle Luo?" She seemed to have forgotten to say goodbye to Luo Bu just now, right?
As he was about to walk out anxiously, Qin Cheng stopped the woman directly.
"I already asked him to go back. The lady was too focused just now, so she didn't hear it."
A short sentence explained the general situation. Qin Di patted his head in annoyance and nodded, "It's okay. It doesn't matter. I have important things now. Okra, go see if Mr. Li is back. Let her wait until she comes back."
come here."
Immediately giving instructions to exit, Okra was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, said "yes" and left.
...
Looking at the black words on the white paper in his hand, Qin Di pinched his chin and rubbed his head, as if he was still thinking about something carefully.
"Dong dong dong" there was a knock on the door. Qin Di raised his eyes and said "come in". The door was pushed open instantly, and the people outside also stepped into the house.
"Mr. Li." Qin Di's face was filled with a smile when she saw the person coming.
Nodding, "Miss, you are here to see me, but what's the emergency?" He walked quickly to Qin Di, and Qin Di directly motioned for the woman to sit down.
Then, Qin Di handed the white paper in his hand to Mr. Li.
"Sir, this is an ancient book I have read. It records the method of making dry ice. But at this time, I am missing a very important material, saltpeter."
Hearing what Qin Di said, Li Liuqing's eyes turned from the paper to Qin Di's face, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Why does Miss want that so-called dry ice? The main reason is that this thing is unheard of and unseen. Even if it is made, the cost should be very high, right? And what is its use?"
It's not that Li Liuqing deliberately wanted to play devil's advocate, she just considered the issue of income from a businessman's perspective. If the cost is high but the income is low, then it's not worth the gain.
Being slapped in the head by Li Liuqing, Qin Di shook his head and smiled, "This cost is extremely low, but it has many uses. Dry ice can be stored for a long time and is much cheaper than ice cubes.
With dry ice, it is a great help for food and other items that require high preservation requirements! And dry ice can create a smoky feeling, so why worry that no one will buy it?
The question at this time is where can the most important raw material for making dry ice come from in large quantities."
Pursing her lips, she knew very well that saltpeter could not only be used to make dry ice, but could also be used for various purposes, such as being used as colorful and pastel pigments, fireworks, and even gunpowder.
But she won't say this, and she doesn't intend to say this.
After all, this was an era of cold weapons, and she didn't want the extremely lethal gunpowder to appear. She couldn't bear the possible consequences of the gunpowder's appearance.
Listening carefully to Qin Di's every word, and thinking about it carefully, is there any time when the lady's ideas were not unexpected but subversive and innovative?
Although he thought so in his heart, when he thought about the difficulties he might face, Li Liuqing retorted unconsciously.
"But Miss, I still think this thing is a bit useless. Dry ice is also ice, and ice will melt, right? If you are really worried about transportation problems, at worst we won't transport it to other places.
We can digest food here in Bianjing City ourselves. If we can't digest it, we can make some for nearby places to digest, and forget about distant places.
After all, there are enough factories now. Things like ice must be sold in quantity. But if we sell it this way, we won’t make much money if it’s too cheap. If it’s too expensive, no one will buy it, and the cost can’t be any lower.
Go?"
After a rough calculation, it has cost a lot of money to build the factory in Xitian. In addition, the various things planted have not yet produced fruits, which means that there are still many things that have not been repaid.
Woolen cloth.
So, if we get new gadgets at this time, how much will it cost? It’s really hard to estimate.
She also knew that Qin Di had invested in the mason to open a jewelry pavilion. She didn't know how much money the jewelry pavilion could make. She only knew that she had already overdrafted a lot of money just talking about various cooperation.
Qin Di also contributed a lot of money, not only her small treasury, but also a lot of loans.
Her dowry plus jewelry and the like would definitely make the country rich, but the problem is that those jewelry won't be sold out for a while, so there won't be enough silver to turn over so much property at once.
Although there are actually industries that are making profits and making money, most of the industries she opened are small-profit but quick-turnover industries.
With just the amount of money we make, we really can't support so many industries to continue operating at the same time.
It is already barely affordable now. If we open another industry, if that industry has no future, it will become a bad debt.
If one capital chain is broken, all capital chains will be broken. At that time, not to mention whether you can earn more dowry, or whether you can keep the dowry is a problem.
He sighed heavily, "Miss, it's not that I don't believe you, it's actually that we really can't afford to take risks at this time.
If you had said this before opening the jewelry store, I would definitely support it, but the problem is.
Now Shi Ban is already talking about quarries. The quarries he has negotiated have already transferred a lot of funds from our other industries. In addition to his loans, there are also the labor costs for polishing and carving.
, the labor cost of the Jewelry Pavilion.
He must at least get his money back before he can get back the money that was transferred from my property, right?"
Looking at Qin Di carefully, Li Liuqing actually hoped that Qin Di would consider it carefully.
It's okay to open it, but it should be opened later. Don't be so anxious. At least wait until all the industries they currently have start to make profits.
He pursed his lips and shook his head, "Mr. Li, I plan to open at this time. In the worst case, I will pawn all the jewelry I have here at the pawn shop.
Although the price offered there may be lower than its value, it doesn’t matter. I believe that soon, our industry will be able to recover its capital and make a profit.”
Li Liuqing looked at her carefully, and she looked at Li Liuqing firmly. Anyway, her intention was here, that is, she would never give up!
