    After selling out the remaining pieces of cloth, Yang Shaowen also planned to return to where he was.  On the way back, Zhang Yi was puzzled: "My boss, the discount given to Boss Yu, plus the transportation costs, lijin, etc. we paid, we actually lost money on this transaction." Although Zhang Yi doesn't know the specific operation  Cost, but the approximate figure is still reasonable.  Giving the cloth shop a certain cash discount was a measure that the cloth shop had formulated before departure in order to collect funds as quickly as possible.  It's just that they have to pay a 10% cash discount for shipping the goods to such a long distance. In his opinion, this transaction must be a loss.  "It's definitely a loss, but it's not much, and it's very necessary! The bank needs cash now, so it's acceptable to lose some profits!" Yang Shaowen now understands the importance of cash flow to the company's operations.  , to some extent, even better than the company's pursuit of profits.  If the business is losing money, it may be able to sustain it for a while. If the cash flow dries up, the company will collapse immediately.  However, from a cost perspective, the farther you travel, the greater the expenses in terms of transportation, labor, and gold. In the west direction, Yishan Town should be the farthest place that the cloth bank can reach.  No matter what, it is a very smart move for Yang's cloth shop to sell cloth by boat!  Although it is never easy to expand the market, the large and small cloth stores nearby still welcome Yang Shaowen's door-to-door service.  These days are not peaceful. Going out has always been a very risky thing, especially for these businessmen, being extorted is a common thing.  Nowadays, with door-to-door supply, the price is no more expensive than buying it yourself, which saves them a lot of trouble.  Within a month, the boats selling cloth outside all came back in twos and threes after selling out the cloth.  What they brought back was more than 2,000 yuan in cash and more than 7,000 yuan in accounts receivable.  This is a good start, which means that the Bank will be able to receive liquidity for at least the next month.  After returning, Yang Shaowen did not go out to sell cloth anymore, but completely handed it over to the employees below.  The cloth shop sells about 30,000 pieces of cloth in a month, which is slightly less than the scale of cloth collection.  With the continuous development and deepening of sales channels, he believes that there will be room for improvement in sales performance in the following months.  In addition, by establishing several distribution warehouses in the surrounding areas of southern Jiangsu, the cloth sales fleet can also further tap the transportation potential.  According to Yang Shaowen¡¯s estimation, the cloth sales fleet should eventually be able to stabilize at a sales scale of about 70,000 pieces per month.  If such a scale can be achieved, Buhang's collection fleet will not have to worry about not having enough to eat.  Of course, although the prospects are good, there is still a thorny problem that needs to be solved by Yang Shaowen.  That is the issue of profit margin.  After Yang Yuhua¡¯s calculations, Bu Bank¡¯s current net profit rate is extremely low, basically at the break-even point.  Transportation fees, labor costs, fees, financial expenses due to cash discounts, etc., these expenditure items have eroded little of Buhang's originally considerable gross profit.  This is another problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible!  Although, Yang Shaowen is confident that over time, after carefully sorting out the operating model, he will be able to squeeze out profits.  But time did not allow him to take his time.  Joint-stock companies are a new thing, and shareholders may not understand a lot of company articles of association, but they remember one thing very clearly. If they invest in shares, they will receive certain dividends every year.  If at the end of the year, Yang Shaowen tells them that the bank is not making money or even losing money, the shareholders will never agree.  He must let them see real benefits.  Yang Shaowen focused his breakthrough on the improvement of textile tools.  The backwardness of local hand-woven textile tools was a problem he discovered early on. He used to be busy doing business and had no time to study it in detail. Now he is eager to make profits, so he has to work hard in this area.  At home, he holds a quill in his hand and writes and draws on paper.  He is doing mechanical drawing.  The brush at home was really not suitable for drawing, and there were no pencils for sale nearby, so he had to make a homemade quill instead.  The objects of Yang Shaowen's research are the shuttle and the Jenny machine, two technologies that triggered the rapid development of the British textile industry.  Speaking of which, this should be a very simple technology. It has been invented for more than a hundred years, and the inventor is not a great scientist. There is no reason why a modern person cannot do it.  But it¡¯s one thing to think about it, and another thing to do it.  Yang Shaowen never studied mechanical knowledge, so it was not easy for him to make these two antiques at once.  Especially the spinning jenny, he had only heard the story of the inventor.  The hand spinning wheel was accidentally kicked down. Hargreaves had an epiphany when he saw that the kicked down spindle could still run.  It turns out that the spindles can also be placed vertically, so he started to make a spinning machine with eight vertical spindles, named it Jenny Machine, and later made dozens or even more.With the spindle Jenny machine, the spinning efficiency is immediately greatly improved.  Come on, the spindle can be spun vertically. We also have an epiphany about this. (This does not require him to have an epiphany. Although Yang Shaowen does not care about the textile industry, he also knows that modern spindles are all vertical.), why is this Jenny  The machine just can't do it?  He combined some simple mechanical principles he knew. He had conceived mechanical structures such as pulleys, belts, levers, gears, and bearings. He also designed a lot of structures in the three aspects of power machines, transmission machines, and working machines, but they could not be relied upon.  Many spindles of yarn are spun.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It seems that something is missing.  The few Western books he borrowed from Yuan Yicheng did not include any introduction in this regard.  He was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head in a hurry.  Yang Yuhua saw that her elder brother had been shut up at home these days, painting alone, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, what are you doing?" "The elder brother is making an invention. Inventing a machine, one person can spin many spindles, and spinning can be  Soon. Yuhua, you are a textile farmer yourself. What¡¯s wrong with the spinning wheel that my brother painted?¡± ¡°One person is spinning multiple spindles?¡± Yang Yuhua said somewhat disapprovingly: ¡°How come? Spinning requires someone to feed the sliver.  , there are so many spindles that one person can¡¯t take care of them.¡± Yes!  To achieve multi-spindle spinning, it is necessary to free manual labor from the cotton feeding process.  How to achieve this?  After researching the Jenny spinning machine for a period of time without any results, Yang Shaowen put it aside for the time being and turned to research on the improvement of the loom.  As long as the flying shuttle can be developed and placed on the current wooden loom, the weaving efficiency will be greatly improved.  And when he studied the shuttle device, he achieved some success.
