Chapter 37 Toothpaste for Wool - and

"Of course you can. Your Majesty has tens of thousands of tents under his banner, and I'm afraid there are millions of sheep. I'm afraid the wool can reach three to five million jins a year. I'll buy one jin for three yuan for now. You can give me all the wool in exchange for these toothpastes.

For things like soap, if you exchange useless things for useful things, the benefits will be great and people in the world will admire you!"

Ma Qiang looked like he was just thinking about it, which made Nanlou rub his hands in excitement.

Wuhuan had colluded with Xianbei, but Ma Qiang didn't tell him. Nanlou also thought that he could buy wool from outside the Great Wall and give it to Ma Qiang in the future. When the time came, he would make a fortune, make a fortune!

Thinking of this, and then thinking of Ma Qiang's previous offer of 200,000 yuan worth of goods, he suddenly felt that he couldn't accept it, otherwise he would be looked down upon by this person. He also knew the principle of using people to show kindness.

"Okay! You..."

"Dealer" Y reminded.

"Yes! Dealer...Okay, if you are really willing to accept my wool from Shanggu Wuhuan in exchange for money, then I will be your dealer."

Ma Qiang raised his glass and said, "In this case, as a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased, so the matter has been settled. Please send someone to look for me here in thirty days, and we will tell you the details then."

"Okay! Once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow up!" Nanlou also picked up the wine glass, and the two drank it down, looked at each other, and burst into laughter.

"Thousands...tens of millions of dollars? How many years can this last for?" Yue Yang, who is not very good at mathematics, has already started a new calculation problem.

After a heavy drink, when Nanlou and others were sent away, Nanlou blushed, took out a wooden talisman from his arms, stuffed it into Ma Qiang's hand, and stammered, "You... take it."

With this in mind, if you have anything to do...go...go to the valley to find me!"

Ma Qiang looked at Yan Rou, who had clear eyes next to him. Yan Rou smiled and said, "This thing is Master Nanlou's token. With this thing, you can go to the upper valley to find any Wuhuan people in any town. They will obey your orders, even if

They are Wuhuan people from other places. If they see this, they will also help you."

It turned out to be a summoning talisman. Ma Qiang probably understood the function of this thing. He nodded and clasped his fists in thanks, "Thank you so much, sir. I won't send it far."

After watching Nanlou and others leave, Ma Qiang said to everyone, "Let's go back and discuss it."

"What are we discussing?" Lin Huan asked the two of them.

"Brother, you don't know, we just met a big shot."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"It's a man named Nanlou, who is Mr. Wuhuan." Yue Yang held it in for a long time and finally could speak loudly. He couldn't help shouting, "Uncle Lin, you don't know, Xiao Ma just opened his mouth and asked for tens of millions. Two

The goods worth 100,000 yuan were delivered as soon as I said they would be delivered.”

"Ten million?" Lin Huan felt that he might have heard this number for the first time in his life.

"Let's talk after we go in." Ma Qiang saw more and more eyes looking at him from all around, and pulled Lin Huan inside.

"What? Swapping wool for toothpaste and soap? This...isn't this a loss-making business?"

After hearing the cause and effect, Lin Huan smiled and nodded at first, praising Ma Qiang for his foresight and not being swayed by small profits. But when he heard Ma Qiang say that he could use wool to pay for money, he immediately stood up.

"Wool can be used for spinning. When we open a textile factory, I estimate that Nanlou can provide us with nearly 10 million kilograms of wool a year. Even if there is some loss, I estimate that these 10 million kilograms of wool can be used to make 500 kilograms of wool.

Thousands of kilograms of wool can be used. As long as the wool pops open, it becomes an excellent filling material. Whether it is used to make clothes or quilts, it will definitely be popular.

What's more, I have a way to turn wool into cloth. I saw it in the market today. A piece of linen cloth costs three to four hundred yuan. Our wool cloth is extremely warm. It won't be a problem to sell it for five hundred yuan a piece. A piece of wool cloth

I don’t think it will exceed 30 kilograms. Calculated this way, we can make fabrics worth more than 80 million yuan. Even if we exclude the various costs of labor, transportation, production, and sales, we can earn at least more than 40 million yuan a year. Of course

, my method requires a variety of tools and equipment, which may not be possible in the early stage.

All in all, toothpaste originally worth 10 million can now be exchanged for fabric with a net profit of more than 40 million. Even if it is just used for filling, you can earn more than 10 million. I don’t think I can lose money on such a cost-effective thing."

Ma Qiang was calculating the accounts in a fuss, and Lu Qingcheng and others were so excited that they stomped their feet and clapped their hands.

"You can't make money!" Lin Huan shook his head and sighed, "It's so difficult to make cloth from wool. Indeed, wool can also be spun into yarn, but it must be cashmere, and it must be the cleanest cashmere.

What you want now is ordinary wool. That kind of wool is full of dust and grease. Not to mention spinning thread, just washing it requires hot water. You don’t know how much firewood is wasted. How can you make money...

Lu Laosan, Ma Lang doesn’t know about these situations outside, don’t you know?”

"Ah? Then...can we break the contract?"

Hearing Lin Huan's words, everyone panicked, and Yue Liang shouted quickly.

"Nanlou is Master Wuhuan, with tens of thousands of cavalry under his command. We have just taught us the roster and map of the village. Breaking the contract... I'm afraid it will be a disaster that will destroy the village." Lin Huan shook his hands, feeling anxious and angry.

"Brother Xiao Ma, let's run quickly. You said you would have 30 days before. Let's leave now. We will definitely be able to leave Youzhou in 30 days." Lu Qingcheng stepped forward and pulled Ma Qiang up to leave.

"No...wait...Qingcheng, please wait a moment."

Ma Qiang was dragged for several steps by Lu Qingcheng. Ma Qiang never expected that such a small person could be so strong.

"No problem, I have a way to make ordinary wool look like cashmere." Ma Qiang desperately hugged the person next to him before stopping Lu Qingcheng's dragging.

"Um...Brother Ma, this is not good."

Ma Qiang looked up at Yue Liang, who looked shy.

I'll go! I said it's as thick as a pillar and it's still warm.

"Brother Ma, do you have any idea?"

"Nonsense, when have I ever done anything I wasn't sure about? Just turn wool into cashmere? Don't worry, I'll teach you when we open the wool workshop."

Ma Qiang waved his hand to relax the hand that was sorely held by Lu Qingcheng.

"Don't worry, Li Zheng, this deal is guaranteed to make a profit. It's rare to come across such a good channel this time. It would be a pity not to do it. Nanlou and I have made a thirty-day appointment, so we have to hurry up.

We will go to Jixian County tomorrow and seize the time to sell the remaining goods. Then we will buy raw materials without going back to the village. We will choose a secret place nearby for production. In trouble, we have been leading people to look around Changping County in the past few days. There are some

There is no suitable small canyon, there must be water flow and access, so it can be kept secret."

"Ma Lang, you can't be joking at this time... No one has ever done this in the history of wool weaving." Lin Huan said still a little worried.

"My Uncle Lin..." Ma Qiang clenched his hands and said, "If we are doing things that the ancients did, then what is the meaning of our existence?

Li Shou composed numbers, Feng Hou made formations, Ling Lun set the tone, Lei Zu raised silkworms, Qi Bo discussed diseases, and Cang Jie created essays. Aren't these ancient people doing things that no more ancient people had done before?

A gentleman surnamed Lu in our school said, "This has always been the case, is it right?" to express his doubts about everything in the world. If you just say that it has been this way since ancient times and do not try new possibilities, then thousands of years later, countless people with lofty ideals will

The world of great harmony we pursue will never come.

Please believe me, I guarantee you will be able to see wool weaving something that has not happened in a thousand years!”

Lin Huan first hesitated and stroked his beard for a while, then nodded after a long time.

"In this case, you all will do as Ma Lang said. I will take two people to look for a suitable place to build a workshop here. Lao San, you and Ma Lang and others will go to Jixian County. I have already completed the paperwork for you.
