Chapter 50 The Three Major Textile Mills
the next day.
Pu Lan went to Tulip Company again, but Luo Yin stayed at home today and did not go to the company.
Bart entertained Pulan very considerately. Pulan was a little disappointed, but he didn't say much. Regarding investment, it would be useless to tell Bart.
As for Luo Yin's residence, of course he had already inquired about it. But this is a very private place. When both parties are not familiar with it, it is not polite to disturb it.
He also hopes to get investment from Luo Yin, so it's better not to do disgusting things.
After that, for several days in a row, Pu Lan went to the Tulip Company every day.
Luo Yin was repeatedly invited to visit his factory and then decide whether to invest or not.
After Luo Yin received Bart's news, he was immediately speechless.
But it’s understandable. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he is very rich. Judging from the 30% profit rate he deliberately revealed, after tax, he also made hundreds of thousands a month. This is definitely Qiong.
Bicheng is top notch.
However, Luo Yin ignored Pu Lan for the time being. He was looking at some information sent by Henry.
As the vice president of Qiongbicheng Commercial Bank, Henry has a lot of resources in his hands.
Luo Yin called him two days ago and asked him if he had any information on Qiongbicheng's textile industry. It didn't need to be confidential, just make it public.
Now that there is no Internet, even public information is very troublesome to collect, so it is best to have relevant personnel to help.
Henry naturally readily agreed to such a trivial matter, and early this morning, someone delivered the information to his door.
Looking at this information, Luo Yin had a rough idea of Qiongbicheng's textile industry.
There are actually not many textile industries in Qiongbicheng, because as long as you have a textile machine at home and can weave a few pieces of cloth every day, you can say that you are in the textile industry.
However, this model of small family workshops has long been gradually phased out. After all, factories have many people and equipment, and the cost is much lower than that of individual small workshops after being evenly divided.
Therefore, the cloth produced by these individual workshops is now generally used for personal use or distributed on a small scale.
There are only three truly large-scale imitation companies.
The first is Sandy Textile Mills.
This is the oldest textile factory in Qiongbicheng. It is a family-owned business. The founder is Sandy's grandfather. It has been passed down to Sandy for the third generation.
It is also the largest among the three, with four factories and two offices. The fabrics they produce can be purchased at any store in Qiongbi City.
I heard that in the past two years, Sandy Textile Factory aimed its business elsewhere, but for some unknown reason, it finally withdrew. It has been guarding this three-acre land, in front of its own "king of the mountain".
Sandy Textile Factory has a characteristic, or strategy.
That is, they basically don’t use steam engines. The manpower or water-powered spinning machines in the factory were all passed down from Sandy’s father and even his grandfather.
In the industry, Sandy is often called an antique.
Although their technology is not advanced, their profits are the highest among the three companies.
The reason is simple: manpower is cheap here.
The physical fitness of the orcs is very strong. Even if they are not as good as machines, they can still be used as half machines.
And there are a lot of orcs, so they don't have to worry about labor at all and can exploit them to their heart's content.
Coupled with the large scale of their factories and low costs, profits will naturally be high.
Then came the giant cotton textile mills.
This factory is the youngest of the three. It was established less than three years ago. But it has achieved this level in three years, which is enough to prove their strength.
This textile factory has only one factory, and its scale is not large. It is the smallest among the three major textile factories.
But completely different from Sandy Textile Mill, Giant Cotton Textile Factory attached great importance to machines. Although they only had one factory, almost all of them were steam engines.
So even though their factory is not big, the weaving efficiency is not slow at all, and the quality is not bad at all.
They are very ambitious. Although they are temporarily ranked third, they have always wanted to be the first in Qiongbi City.
But unfortunately, their profits are not good, and sometimes they even lose money. Let alone the first place, the third place may not be able to hold on.
As for the reason, it is because there are too many machines.
Because there are many machines, they need to train a group of talents who are proficient in steam engines and are ready to deal with machine problems at any time. This alone is a huge expense. In addition, once the steam engine breaks down, it will be time-consuming and laborious to repair, so their cost is
Much higher.
When the cost is high, the price will naturally be expensive. When the price is high, the sales volume will be reduced. If the sales volume is not good, the cloth produced will be spread equally among each machine, and the cost will be high again... This seems to be an endless cycle.
Of course, this is not impossible to solve. They also understand that as long as there are enough orders, the cost will be reduced, the selling price will also be lowered, and the sales will increase. But the problem is, if you don’t lower the selling price first,
Others won’t buy it—well, it’s still an endless cycle.
Therefore, Giant Cotton Textile Factory is now in a bit of an awkward situation. They are very optimistic about the future of steam spinning machines, but that is the future after all, and now their funds are somewhat unable to sustain it.

As for other investors or institutions, many people are optimistic about them, but none are willing to take money.
This is also the reason why Pu Lan didn’t even know Luo Yin, but he still came to find him all the time, and even started to "visit the thatched cottage three times". As long as there is a way, he will not be so humble...
As for the last textile factory, named Wilder Textile Factory, its characteristic is that it has no characteristics. It uses both labor and machines, is medium-sized, and has moderate prices. They have no ambitions and are willing to play the role of the second-in-command.
A company as stable as an old dog.
…
After reading this information, Luo Yin already had a general understanding of these three textile factories.
Like some people, he believed that this giant cotton textile factory had the most potential among the three.
But potential is potential, and there is still a long way to go before we can turn potential into strength. And during this period, Giant Cotton Textile Factory is about to be unable to hold on, and they need the support of external forces.
This is like writing a novel, which requires the support of readers to reach the end.
Luo Yin thought for a moment and felt that he could invest in this giant cotton textile factory.
But if you really want to invest, you have to find a way to help the other party get through this difficult period, otherwise the investment will be a loss.
Luo Yin probably has one or two ideas for model lakes in his mind. I don't know if they will work, but... maybe he can give it a try?
But this matter is not urgent. Although the giant cotton textile factory looks a little miserable, it can still persist.
Luo Yin has other things to do - the Gem Candy Experience Store he has been preparing for a month is about to open.
Luo Yin is quite concerned about this experience store.
After all, this is the first experience store directly affiliated with Tulip Sugar Company, and it provides high-end customized gem sugar services, shouldering the important task of improving the quality of the company.
October 28th.
"Tulip Experience Store" officially opened.
There was no exaggerated opening ceremony, and some passers-by even had no idea what the store sold.
