Chapter 636 Ma Wan
Fortunately, Lin Mo quickly realized this problem and hurriedly explained it.
"Brother Liu, I'll accompany you first, but although according to traditional ideas, this topic involves the issue of women's privacy and we shouldn't talk about it.
But! The core of this topic is women's hygiene and safety issues, which are related to women's health. It is a very serious matter and should not be confined to conservative thoughts."
"You're not talking nonsense?" Liu Deming was not a conservative and stubborn person. After all, his mother, wife and sisters were all women.
"I definitely won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. In fact, the hygiene problems in this regard have a lot to do with many gynecological diseases in women. Once some diseases are suffered, they may trouble or even torture patients for the rest of their lives.
These are all well-documented. The things I just asked have begun to become popular abroad. They also have factual basis for preventing some gynecological diseases and are generally recognized."
After hearing what Lin Mo said, Liu Deming's heart was not gone quickly, and he even felt more certain in his heart. After all, people care about his little sister. He felt somewhat relieved that his little sister could find a husband who was dedicated to her.
"I will pay attention to those things and see if I can find them..." Liu Deming took on the job of finding those things and ended the topic. After all, he talked about these...
The two chatted for a while and someone had already prepared lunch. They were all home-cooked dishes made in the kitchen of the Liu Family Store. Lin Mo did not be polite to Liu Deming. A gust of wind blew the clouds, which made Liu Deming faster.
After eating and drinking, the two of them drank tea and digested food on the stone table in the yard. Lin Mo also mentioned the important matters that came here.
"Brother Ming, the Liu family is a textile manufacturer. Do you have any channels to make hemp spinning? I want to find a hemp spinning factory with good craftsmanship."
"Marinade? Why do you ask this thing for?"
Lin Mo heard this and explained: "I need to customize a batch of hemp textile products, which have relatively high requirements. They are not common in the market at present. They need weavers with excellent skills and research capabilities."
"That's it..." Liu Deming nodded and smiled, "Then you ask the right person, I'll take this job."
"How do you say this?" Lin Mo was a little confused. What did you mean to take on this job?
"Don't you know? The ancestors of the Liu family started to do hemp spinning, but now the focus is on cotton spinning and silk weaving, but the Liu family's hemp spinning industry has always been retained, and now it is handed over to me to take charge..."
Liu Deming briefly introduced the history of the Liu family to Lin Mo. The Liu family's ancestral residence was located in many mountainous areas around it, with a long history of planting hemp. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many hemp spinning factories emerged in the local area.
The Liu family was originally a small landlord who grew hemp in the mountains. In the early Qing Dynasty, the local mountain bandits were severely affected by the severe growth. The Liu family moved out of the mountain area and established a hemp spinning workshop in the local area. By the time of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, they were already one of the top major hemp spinning merchants in the local area.
"... When Liu's family's hemp spinning was at its peak, from cooking and rinsing, spinning and combing to weaving and dyeing, there were dozens of workshops in the Liu family, and thousands of looms made a sound. The quality of the top-quality summer cloth produced was no longer inferior to the tributes paid at that time.
What a pity! Jiangnan mashing was marginalized in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. We were only close to the mountainous areas and continued our glory for a period of time. The Liu family mashing business was in full swing not long after, and as the Qing Dynasty went downhill, it began to decline.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the introduction of new cotton spinning and machines in foreign countries, our hemp spinning almost reached its peak. Fortunately, the Liu family seized the opportunity and relied on the family business left by their ancestors to introduce machines, set up factories, and switch to cotton silk processing.
However, because hemp silk is the ancestral industry, most of the weavers in cotton silk mills have changed from hemp silk industry. Many of these people have inherited their ancestors' textile craftsmanship and are the backbone of cotton silk mills. Although they have changed their careers in hemp silk textiles, they are reluctant to inherit the hemp silk inheritance from themselves.
In addition, when the Liu family changed their careers to make silk cotton, they did make money. They wanted to expand the scale and targeted other local hemp textile households, so they decided to keep the Liu family's hemp textile industry.
However, the decline of the hemp-spreading industry has left the hemp-growing households in the mountainous areas without a livelihood. They are not a legacy of inheritance, and they have changed to mulberry and hemp. Until now, the local area has retained the hemp-spreading industry in addition to the Liu family, and only some small hemp-weaving households are left..."
Until now, the Liu family's hemp spinning industry is still maintained, but many hemps have to be purchased from other places. And over time, there are not many people willing to inherit the hemp spinning technology. Many people who inherit the hemp spinning industry are getting older, and the hemp spinning industry is becoming increasingly marginalized in the Liu family.
Now, the Liu family's hemp spinning industry mainly relies on the production of hemp thread, hemp rope, sack, linen cloth that is mourning for funerals, mosquito nets and other products, and can barely support weavers who are engaged in hemp spinning.
Of course, there are also some essences, which are semi-hand-made high-end summer cloths based on the old looms left over from the Qing Dynasty, a group of exquisitely crafted hemp textile workers, printers, etc., but the output is not high and is not sold to the public. Instead, the Liu family is used as a gift to maintain customers and so on.
As the name suggests, summer cloth is a cloth worn in summer. It is generally woven from ramie fiber. Because it is cool and breathable, it is cool and comfortable to wear, and can reduce the body temperature by several degrees. It is a high-end fabric worn in summer.
However, what Lin Mo needed was not the summer cloth on the market, nor was it all cloth. This time he was preparing to customize some special hemp products to be processed into special equipment worn and used by the special operations team.
Such as anti-spun and cut-resistant materials, wear-resistant, breathable and sweat-absorbing materials, high-strength rope materials, flame-retardant and heat-insulating materials, antibacterial and mildew-resistant materials, etc.
Now is not a later generation. There are not so many synthetic materials with different properties, and cotton materials are difficult to meet the high special needs. Lin Mo can only consider it from the perspective of sesame.
Hemp is not like cotton, there are many types of hemp, such as hemp, jute, ramie, flax, etc., and the characteristics of different hemp materials are also very different.
Ramie fibers like this have extremely high strength, and the tension resistance is eight or nine times that of cotton, which is almost the same as glass fiber. They can be used as aircraft wing cloth, parachute materials, aviation ropes, etc. This performance is more than enough for Lin Mo, and it has good wear resistance and flame retardant properties. The thick-spun fabric is enough to meet the requirements of cutting, stabbing and wear resistance, and the woven ropes are also light and strong enough.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fibers such as flax, hemp (hemp), ramie, etc. all have natural antibacterial properties, moisture absorption and breathability, heat, sun and corrosion resistance, anti-static, ultraviolet rays and other characteristics, and can adapt to many special needs.
Lin Mo introduced his needs in detail, and explained the performance of the finished products to be made and the materials required. He also picked up some of the things he knew about the hemp and some of the situations he could explain clearly, and told Liu Deming.
"Brother Ming, how about it? Can you do this job? Don't worry, we can afford the cost of the research process within a reasonable level. Of course, we have to pay the cost and we have to give it a copy of the research results."
"Well..." Liu Deming calculated and replied: "It is not difficult for me to create the products you need according to your requirements. Let's be honest! Almost everyone in the Liu family's hemp textile industry has unique skills.
Because most of the hemp weavers who are still there are inheriting their ancestral craftsmanship, some of them can be traced back to the heyday of Jiangnan Hemp Wing in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was the decline of Jiangnan Hemp Wing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that gradually brought them to our area.
The experience and inheritance of craftsmanship accumulated by countless generations, and the purpose of getting what you want is just a small matter, just don’t know if the characteristics of the hemp timber you mentioned are really as you said.”
Liu Deming was still a little worried. He believed that his understanding of sesame is definitely not worse than Lin Mo, but he had never heard of some of the characteristics of sesame seeds that Lin Mo mentioned, such as antibacteriality!
"Lin Mo, do you have any substantial evidence for the antibacterial properties of hemp materials?"
"What's this?...the evidence is not considered, but there is indirect evidence."
Lin Mo paused, sorted out his thoughts, organized his language, and then said, "Let's talk about ramie first! I have worn socks made of summer cloth, which are much more durable than cotton. In summer, cotton socks will have a smell if you wear them for a day, but the socks on summer cloth will have no odor when they are dirty for a few days.
I prefer to read some foreign data. According to foreign scientific research, the odors produced by the human body are basically caused by bacteria and fungi. I combined this to find the antibacterial and antibacterial effects of ramie.
The situation with flax is similar. I have had several sets of flax training clothes. Every time I exercise, I can soak the charity clothes when I sweat, but I have never smelled any peculiar smell on the dirty flax training clothes.
As for things made of hemp, I have never remembered contact with it. However, in an article studying hemp plants abroad, the author mentioned that when hemp is planted, there are basically no pests and diseases. It is speculated that hemp may have anti-pest substances, and the disease of crops is basically caused by bacteria and fungi. From this perspective, hemp may have antibacterial ingredients.
Of course, these conclusions are only proof from the side. The specific situation still needs experimental verification and research. After all, can they really be antibacterial? Which bacteria can they be antibacterial? How big is the antibacterial effect? Moreover, the same hemp crop may have different antibacterial effects due to varieties and other reasons. You also need to screen for good antibacterial effects here..."
Lin Mo went on to test how to verify the antibacterial ability of ermeal fibres, that is, using a petri dish to perform a control test on whether there is or not. He briefly said that, and then gave Uncle Fourth his address and contacted Uncle Fourth to find someone who knew how to test the biology to help him.
"Okay, I'll take on this business!" Seeing Lin Mo talking so seriously, Liu Deming no longer hesitated and took on this job decisively.
"Haha... I came out this time, and it seems that I have come right. I received a new job just a few days later. It's a good start..."
Liu Deming summed up the sentence, and the Liu family has also reached the period when the new generation takes over the industry. However, unlike the Xu family, the Liu family has developed step by step, with strict rules for inheritance of family business and strictly follows the principle of inheritance of eldest sons. As long as the eldest son is not a fool, even if he is disabled, the family business must be inherited by the other party.
The heir of this generation of Liu family has been confirmed to be Liu Shiya's eldest brother Liu Dehong. Liu Deming followed his eldest brother to manage the family business for a while, but he also has his own ambitions and wants to make a living with his own abilities.
The Liu family did not object to this point, and even provided necessary funds, connections and support, and had the ability and ambition to go out to explore by themselves is better than fighting at home, right? Some of the other branches that the Liu family had previously divided were developed better than the main family.
In addition to the financial support given to Liu Deming by his father and elder brother, Liu Dehong also gave Liu Deming the hemp textile industry to Liu Deming. It’s not that he didn’t want to give it to better, but there are old tribes in the Liu family and other undistributed branches. It is all Liu Dehong can do to divide an industry with little income to his brothers. The two of them are real brothers.
"As for the research costs, I will just bear the burden. I have a lot of funds in hand, so there is no need to spend your money. Of course, I don't want to give you research results. Although I don't know what the use of this result is for the time being? But I feel it should be a business opportunity."
"Hehe..." Lin Mo smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you are not wrong with this. This is indeed a business opportunity, and it may also be a big business opportunity."
"Is that so? Can you tell me in detail? Although I feel a little bit, I didn't understand it clearly."
"Of course there is no problem..." Lin Mo nodded and said, "At present, the mainstream textile raw material is cotton. Although there are different varieties of cotton, it can only be considered as a quality difference.
Hemp is different, with a variety of varieties, and different types have different characteristics, and some of them are very prominent. If these specialties can be used well, hemp spinning will also be a very promising industry.
Fabrics with breathable, cool, antibacterial and sun protection properties will definitely be popular in tropical areas because they can well relieve the large-scale reproduction of bacteria caused by the humidity, heat, sun, and humidity in the tropical areas.
Moreover, the fabric may not necessarily be worn on the body. Tablecloths, curtains, carpets, carpets, carpets, etc. can be produced with hemp fibers. These things can accept the disadvantages of some hemp fibers that have poor skin feel.
There are also high-strength ramie fibers to produce ropes, boat cables, fishing nets, etc. These are still relatively traditional applications. Some prominent characteristics of hemp fibers that are known or unknown may also have important uses in new industries.
Just like the unverified antibacterial properties, once confirmed, it will not only make hemp fiber more competitive in the traditional field, but also have broad prospects in some new fields, such as medical gauze, bandages, and even hospital bed sheets and sick clothes, which have broad application prospects.
As for the others, you have to rely on Brother Ming to organize people to explore and research. However, one thing is worth noting, that is, don’t just focus on the domestic and the economy, but it is best to look at European and American countries with a developed economy.
In economically developed places, demands are more diverse, demands are diverse, opportunities are also diverse, and there will be more special needs, which may hide the special needs for hemp fibers.
