Chapter 1507 A Different Paper Workshop(2/2)
Manager Zheng has a good plan and thoughtfully.
The maritime merchants in the Tang Dynasty all have to make money.
And the profit settings of the commerce business are relatively high.
Things you can buy for ten cents in Chang'an City, but if you don't sell for thirty or forty cents overseas, I'm sorry for myself.
So even though the cost of papermaking in Datang has actually dropped a lot, the price of paper overseas is still relatively high.
This gave Manager Zheng a lot of room for operation.
As for the local papermaking workshops in various overseas countries, although they have the same advantages as themselves in terms of material costs, their cost of making paper is still relatively high due to the disadvantages of craftsmanship.
The most important thing is that the quality is not very good.
So it has always been able to occupy some low-end markets.
"This is OK, but if those merchants find that there are more papers on the market with similar quality as theirs, the price is much lower than theirs, they may soon be reduced."
Xiang Jin's expectations are not as high as Manager Zheng.
In his opinion, those maritime merchants are very smart people and will not let their families earn all their money so easily.
"Even if they want to lower the price, they will definitely not be able to reduce our price. At that time, the soldiers will block the water and soil, and we will deal with it according to the situation.
Xiang Jin, you will inform us later. In the future, our workshop will open to purchase various wood for making paper.
Then recruit 200 helpers to continuously expand the scale of our paper workshop.”
Manager Zheng felt that the spring of his life seemed to be coming.
I was suppressed by Xinhua Bookstore in Chang'an City for so many years, but now I am finally about to turn over.
"If this happens, then our papermaking workshop will become the largest workshop in the city south of Linyi. Maybe some people will come up with our ideas, should we strengthen some defense work?"
Although the Tang people have a high status overseas, most people dare not provoke the Tang people.
But this situation is definitely not absolute.
There are always some people who think that Tangren is just fat and want to step forward and take a bite.
"When we came out, didn't we bring a batch of swords? Find a few more loyal people from the helpers and transfer them to the guards.
At the same time, we also cooperate with Shunfeng Escort Agency. In the future, Shunfeng Escort Agency will be responsible for the escort of the transportation in Nanyang."
As a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Zhanggui Zheng is naturally very clear about the background of Shunfeng Escort Agency.
In Nanyang today, the right to speak is in the hands of the Maritime Governor's Office, or, to be more, in the hands of Li Kuan.
The Shunfeng Escort Agency is actually another force controlled by Li Kuan.
In the Tang Dynasty, this influence is not so obvious, and the Shunfeng Escort Agency is still very low-key.
But overseas, the situation is completely different.
Not only do they have special training bases in Pulu, but they have their own semicolons in each major port.
If they really want to calculate the scale, they are definitely a hero who has mastered more than 10,000 armed forces.
