Chapter 567: Let’s write a note, just do a business (Part 2) [Please give me a monthly ticket]
Chen Tang selectively ignores the word "smuggling".
After all, the official "smuggling" is not good when it is spread.
No matter how unruly and free she loves freedom, she still has to cherish her feathers on the surface, and pretends to cough lightly: "What, don''t you want to?"
She did a lot of homework in the smuggling of cloth, salt and grain, and the local snake whose house was confiscated had piles of books. After reading it, I realized that this business was originally firmly controlled by them. They took advantage of the benefits to establish a relationship with the official office and Yongguguan, and then the merchants under their jurisdiction were responsible for the business. If merchants from other places want to get a share of the pie, they have to pay more than ten times the amount of time to pay a visit to the local snake.
Profits are exploited layer by layer.
Even so, you can make a lot of money by going there.
This shows how much profit is.
Now, the manufacturer sells directly...
Ahhhh, the government office will come to an end.
"No, no, no, no—" The merchant shook his head faster than the rattle, and he was stuttering, "I think it''s a little bit, I think it''s so much!"
Chen Tang smiled: "Then do you have a charter?"
Although she chose the other party, the salt vendor''s ability did not meet her expectations, and she didn''t mind changing to another good one.
The merchant in front of him was the salt vendor who was accidentally rescued by Chen Tang to Shiwu. The latter has not returned home yet. It was purely because the merchant was robbed of all the goods by Shiwu refugees and was penniless. He was the blessing of his ancestors when he could follow Chen Tang back to the pass.
Back in the pass, Chen Tang ignored him.
He had to stay and do odd jobs in order to make a living.
Prepare to save some money before going back.
This blow did not completely discourage him when he reached middle age, because he knew that his family was still counting on him. As long as he is not lost, relying on his accumulated connections and business experience over the years, he may be able to make a comeback by seizing one opportunity!
With this belief in it, I survived for two or three months.
but-
He never expected the opportunity to come so quickly.
Hearing the county magistrate looking for him, he was frightened and recalled tremblingly whether he had offended the other party''s past. Until he saw the familiar face that was unforgettable again, and when he heard the other party ask him if he was interested in going to Shiwu to go to Shang again, he was stunned.
Even though he was confused, he was not stupid.
There was a set of ideas in the flash.
He has been smuggling in Shiwu for many years and has often been to the most dangerous Western border. He dare not say how familiar he is with this industry, but he can definitely be called the old horse''s knowledge of the way. Listening to the salt vendor talking, he became more confident, and gradually his eyebrows and eyes danced, and Chen Tang raised his hand.
"Just ask you how much profit you make?"
The salt vendor was embarrassed: "It''s hard to say."
Chen Tang asked in confusion: "Why is it hard to say?"
The salt vendor had to say it carefully.
Everyone knows that salt is comparable to gold.
Salt and iron are both specialized in business.
According to the law, if a pound of salt is made by the people, they will chop their toes, and the amount will be huge. However, the Geng Kingdom was in chaos, and Wang Ting''s control made it impossible for them to truly hold this in their hands. This has led to the proliferation of private salt markets and the prices vary.
In the past, salt vendors bought low-priced private salt everywhere to strive for the largest profit - salt is relatively cheap near the place of production, and selling it elsewhere, the profit easily increased by more than ten times. In some places, there is even a salt shortage, and the price can increase a lot.
A pound of coarse salt can easily sell hundreds of dollars.
If there is a tribe that lacks salt in the most part of the world, if there is a tribe who trades directly with gold, why would you say one liang of gold and one liang of salt?
Even though Chen Tang knew that this business was profitable, he was shocked by the salt vendor''s words. She thought about it and ordered someone to bring something.
Chen Tang asked: "Look at this salt?"
This is produced in a salt well.
The salt lump was sent to the official office as soon as possible. She tried the taste, but finally there was no bitter taste of the coarse salt she used before, and it was closer to the salt in her memory. With a wave of his hand, he divided the salt lump into two parts and delivered a small portion to the official canteen, so that the kitchen should not feel sorry for the salt, and no matter how bitter it is, you should not be bitter on your tongue! Use it to cook later!
The remaining income is divided into the official office and the salary slips of officials are divided into.
Replacing the previous coarse salt with fine salt, and raising the salary very generously - double the weight of the salt in the salary. If the official has a large population in his family and consumes a lot of salt, the official can also exchange for a certain amount of refined salt for daily overtime.
The salt vendor lifted the covered silk in confusion.
I was completely stunned at first sight, just because the salt in front of me was white and crystal clear. He plucked up his courage and carefully pinched a few and put them in his mouth. The salt grains melted in the mouth, with moderate salinity, not as bitter as he expected, but had a little umami flavor.
Better than the fine salt he had tasted before!
“It can be called the best!”
The salt vendor immediately affirmed the value of this salt!
"Mr. Shen, I''m a little daring. How much does this thing cost?"
"The cost? I haven''t calculated it specifically, but it''s not difficult to make them, the output is not small, and the cost is not much higher. I have no requirements, I just need to sell them to ten thousand! I won''t let you go for a waste. The caravan guards, food, clothing, and even goods are arranged by the official office. If you go to the merchant, you will promise you 10% of your profits as a hard-earned expense."
"What do you think?"
Chen Tang originally wanted to give 20%.
But the value of this salt vendor was not as valuable as Xu Jie. Considering the profits of Shiwu, he searched and changed them to 10%.
Giving 10% is not considered stingy.
Really not stingy.
"Yes, yes! A small guarantee will be completed!" He was afraid that Chen Tang would change his mind one second later.
With his conscience touched, his biological parents were not as generous as Chen Tang! He was completely stuffing wealth into his mouth!
Although he only has 10% of the profit, he will make more money than he used to make in three or five trips - because he makes in business business! He needed to bring the hired guards to collect salt everywhere, and to go to Longwu County with great difficulty, then take out a lot of real money and silver to worship the local snake, and get a special "salt citation" from them, and only then will the Yongguguan pass.
When entering Shiwu territory, you have to pay some money to deal with it. You are nervous every day and hope that you will be more lucky and will not be robbed by refugees.
After walking, I have to make some favors when I come back.
The ones who really got it, there was not much left compared to what he earned, but Shen Jun directly transferred many unnecessary expenses for him. Longwu County belongs to Mr. Shen.
A document must be released if Yongguguan is there.
The key is that this is an exclusive business.
There is no competitor, only salt is in your hands. The tribe that lacks salt and is not crazy, so why don’t you grab salt and lose the head?
The salt vendor was satisfied, and Chen Tang was also satisfied. She finally saw the light of debt-free dawn, and her face was filled with joy: "It''s so good, very good! Then wait for another half a month, and after you can get enough of this trip, you can order all the people to go on the road."
The salt vendor went downstairs thankfully.
When Gu Chi learned about this, he frowned.
“Is it too much for 10%?”
Give Xu Jie a 40% profit, but it’s nothing. This person will be useful in the future and maintain relationships. Moreover, the forces in the pass are in a mess, the private salt market is in chaos, the profit is less than the big ones, and you can’t make money safely without a tough connection or business path.
40% is very reasonable.
But a mere private salt merchant...
Give 10% is too high.
“A little more, but worth it.”
Chen Tang smiled and said, "It''s up to you to buy his experience. Except for him, everything else is ours. It''s convenient for ''stealing''. With his familiarity with Shiwu, he can also act as a guide to lead our young youngsters to familiarize with Shiwu... Isn''t it right?"
Chen Tang was not prepared to let the salt vendor continue to work. When his own business became familiar, he would destroy the bridge after crossing the river.
Anyway, the initiative lies with one''s own side.
Chen Tang put down his pen and saw that Gu Chi had a sealed letter in his hand. His eyes lit up, "Written notes?"
Gu Chi nodded: "Just arrived."
Fresh and hot.
He wanted to know the answer as soon as possible, so he became a messenger and personally escorted the letter to Chen Tang.
"Let me take a look."
Open, look ten lines at a glance.
Chen Tang''s eyebrows were filled with joy visible to the naked eye, and he chuckled, "I''ll just say it, the notes of the text are very impressive."
Xu Jie agreed.
To show sincerity, the silkworm seed leaf material she needed was delivered twice, and the price of jumping off the building was based on the friendship price. If it weren''t for the fear of losing the verbal remarks, Xu Jie even wanted to give it away for nothing.
But it was enough for Chen Tang to see his attitude.
Gu Chi agreed with this, but was a little displeased: "This person is very tactful, but - it''s too smooth."
This is true for Wu Xian, let alone Chen Tang?
Chen Tang laughed at him.
"You''re a bit scumbag like this."
"Scum?"
She explained: "When people who play with other people''s feelings and are unfaithful, the man is a scumbag, and the woman is a scumbag."
Gu Chi showed the expression of the old man from the subway and said unjustly: "...Ci, why are you playing with Xu Wenzhu''s feelings?"
Chen Tang couldn''t hold back his smile: "Wenzhu''s attitude is a bit ambiguous. He is like a person with a fixed date partner. He is very affectionate with Wu Zhaode, but he can''t withstand the attack of a third party and has been shaken several times. Well, we are this third party."
"We obviously get benefits from him, and hope that every move he will do as we expected, but you also feel that his swaying behavior is a bit "unfaithful" and don''t like it very much. Look, does this look like a scumbag. You use your strength to seduce the good family, and when you follow the good family, you dislike the good family not tightly tied your waist..."
Gu Chi: “…”
It would be fine if the lord didn''t say it, but this statement-
I seem to be a little scumbag.
Chen Tang sighed: "A gentleman talks about his actions and his heart, and there is no perfect person in the world. The notes of the article are just ordinary people, so there is no need to demand anything. Besides, it is really not easy for him to help us so many under Wu Zhaode''s account. As the head of the Xu family, it is not easy to worry about the whole family."
She likes this boy who is a rich man, who talks less and works more. If she hadn''t been to Wu Zhaode early, she would really want to wield her **** to poach. Moreover, his cousin is still working under her tent, and the child is still working hard.
Gu Chi heard this and looked instructed.
"The lord''s mind is not enough."
The manufacturing and sales of salt are roughly arranged. Next, just wait for the gold to fly into her pocket. Chen Tang couldn''t freeze and calculated what else he had to do: "By the way, can women with experience in mulberry silkworms find all the things?"
“Finished.”
The terraced houses specializing in raising silkworms have been built for a while.
“Where are craftsmen with superb skills?”
Gu Chi said: "I heard Wuhui mention it two days ago that everyone is on standby in the craftsman''s workshop near the official office."
Why look for skilled craftsmen?
Naturally, in order to optimize textile machinery, just a slight improvement can be more efficient than the current machines.
She is just trying to "seek trouble if you have nothing to do".
Let everyone in Longwu County roll up!
