Shipbuilding is actually a hugely profitable industry.
Of course, it is mainly driven by the rise of ocean trade and the craze for gold exploration in the Golden Continent.
The shipyard is very profitable. The reason why the total profit is not as high as that of Ryukyu Sugar is mainly because the shipyard is constantly expanding and has opened several new factories one after another, each one larger than the last.
As we all know, things like schools are basically a loss-making business, with large investments and small returns. This is why boats are sold so expensive.
? Various investments are huge, especially if R&D expenses are included, the investment will be even greater.
Let¡¯s talk about another super profitable glass.
Nowadays, various glass products are not only popular in the Ming Dynasty, but also exported to Japan, Ryukyu, Nanyang and other regions. The glass manufacturing technology has always been firmly controlled by the glass factory under Liu Jin.
Glass itself is not valuable, but Liu Jin forced it to become something that only rich people can afford, and the profits are really astonishing.
The profits of glass factories have always been very high, and they have continued to increase sharply with the hot sales of glass.
In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the total profit of the glass factory exceeded 30 million taels of silver. The reason why it was not as good as Ryukyu Sugar was mainly because the growth was not as fast as Ryukyu Sugar. However, the total profit ranked first among all industries. It can be said that he is a hen that lays golden eggs.
However, the glass factory has gradually fallen into weakness. Everyone is not a fool. Now they gradually understand that glass is actually a very common thing, so they are not willing to spend too high a price to consume it, so that in Daming, , the price of glass products has also had to drop again and again, which has faced a huge test in terms of its receivables and profits.
This is why Liu Jin continues to explore overseas markets.
After you have deceived the people of Ming Dynasty, you can then deceive fools outside of Ming Dynasty. The world is a big place anyway, so let¡¯s deceive one round first and then talk about it. As for not making much money in the future, let¡¯s talk about it when the time comes.
These are all very profitable businesses.
In addition, there are industries such as Miyun Iron Works, Cement Factory, Textile Factory, Machinery Factory, Changlu Salt Plant, etc. Although the receivables and profits are far less than those mentioned above, they can earn tens of millions of taels of silver at every turn.
But in these industries, the receivables and profits are actually quite considerable. The key is that they have full potential for development.
As for Miyun Iron Works, Miyun Iron Works has successively built more than ten blast furnaces, employing more than 100,000 employees, and its steel output has almost reached the point of monopolizing the entire Daming Steel output.
Iron is closely related to people's production and life, and the price is not cheap. Moreover, Miyun Iron Factory does not sell pig iron and steel, but processes steel into various products for sale.
Processed into a variety of farm tools and steel bars for construction, these are products that are not very profitable. The real money is in arms and weapons.
Miyun Iron Factory is not only an iron factory, it is now the largest arms dealer in the Ming Dynasty. It produces a lot of arms and weapons, whether it is traditional swords and armors or new muskets and artillery, Miyun Iron Factory produces them, and The quality is good and the price is low. Now all the weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty army are purchased from Miyun Iron Factory.
Everyone knows that arms and weapons are the most profitable business.
However, because the main customer now is only the Ming Dynasty¡¯s military, the price will not be too high, so the profit is low. Without the overseas arms market, it is difficult to make profits.
The development speed of Miyun Iron Works is also very fast.
Steel has been in short supply since ancient times. Unless it can reach the production of hundreds of millions of tons of steel in later generations, it will never be enough.
Therefore, the Miyun Iron Works also started building the Songhu Iron Works here in Songhu. The iron ore of the Songhu Iron Works mainly comes from two places, one is the Maanshan Iron Mine in later generations, and the other is the famous Daye in Hubei in later generations. iron ore.
The quality of the iron ore in these two places is very good. It is considered to be one of the very few high-quality iron ores in Daming. The key is that they can be transported to Songhu by relying on the waterway of the Yangtze River.
The future development direction of Miyun Iron Works is mainly in these three directions, conventional steel smelting, arms and weapon manufacturing and machinery manufacturing.? Today¡¯s craftsmen are very well paid, and their remuneration in all aspects cannot be bad. In addition, the construction and training of schools cannot be completed overnight.
In addition, the machinery factory also shoulders a lot of research and development tasks, such as the steam engine and electromagnetic research explained by Liu Jin. These are all things that want to continuously invest money and money.
Therefore, the machinery factory is losing money now, and it is not a small loss. Calculated, it loses Liu Jin almost one million taels of silver a year. Its only income now is the sale of bearings for textile machines, looms and four-wheel carriages. .
However, these things are developing extremely rapidly, and the profits are still considerable. It is expected that by next year, the machinery factory will basically be able to maintain profits and losses.
Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter to Liu Jin whether he makes money or not. The main thing is that he wants to rely on this machinery factory to produce some important technological things for future generations. This is the most important thing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
