Chapter 121: Colored Jade

Bai is a man of action, and after listening to Chen Wenhui's idea that day, he immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss the reform.

First of all, they discussed the matter of Cuijin Building, and Bai told Wen Hui's idea and Feiguang and Chen Fuyi, the chief treasurer of Cuijin Building, and the eyes of the two of them lit up. Chen Fu thought for a while and said, "That's a good idea, in fact, I've been worrying about the order problem of Cuijin Building recently." Now there are three workshops in Cuijin Building, namely one in Deqing, one in Ancheng, one in Beijing, but there are many branches, one in Ancheng, one in Deqing, the four counties that belong to Deqing, Licheng, Qingcheng, Tangcheng, Sanhe City have branches, the provincial city of Qingyang City also has branches, and there are also branches in Beijing, and three branches were opened in Yishui Mansion around Deqing a few years ago, and Heyang City in Heyang Province also opened a branch, and Sheung Shui Mansion in Heyang Province also opened two branches, and Muyang Mansion opened four branches, so many branches, We only have three workshops, which is really not enough. I was thinking of opening one or two more workshops, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to manage them, so I was worried. ”

Feiguang said: "Yes, madam, the branch can be opened more, the branch is just to take orders and buy things, a few guys, a good shopkeeper is on the line, but the workshop is different, the workshop is not optimistic, the clothes are not good, but the brand is going to be smashed, so I can't be careless." ”

Bai nodded.

Feiguang said: "Actually, if we wrap up the buckle according to the girl's idea, we can produce more than 20% of the clothes." Actually, I think there are still jobs that can be contracted out. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly asked, "Oh, what else?" ”

Feiguang said: "There are also the edging on the clothes, and the embroidery on the brocade clothes can also be taken out, after all, the brocade clothes do not have high requirements for embroidery." ”

Chen Fu thought for a while and said: "Actually, I know a lot of ready-to-wear workshops that have emerged in Ancheng and Deqing in the past two years, and several of them have very good craftsmanship. Of course, it is not comparable to our treasure clothes, but if it is a beautiful dress, brocade clothes are still okay. So. I wonder if I should wrap up all the beautiful clothes. Beautiful clothes are a large amount of things, mainly small profits but quick turnover. In fact, we now have a very loud signboard in Cuijin Building, and we can't finish it with treasure clothes and brocade clothes alone. It is better to package all the beautiful clothes, so that those half-full garment shops can also make money, and we can also take more orders for treasure clothes and brocade clothes, so that at least seventy percent of the order volume can be increased. ”

At this moment, Bai's was moved, which is equivalent to nearly doubling the production capacity without expansion.

Wen Hui was very happy and said, "Mother. I think this is very good, so let Feiguang and Chen Fu try to do it. ”

Bai was a very decisive person, and immediately said, "Okay, Feiguang." Chen Fu, this matter will be handed over to you, you look at it, don't wrap it all out at once, come little by little. The most important thing is to ensure the quality, not to smash the signboard, it is not easy for us to create this signboard. ”

Chen Fu and Feiguang hurriedly agreed.

The Bai family also told Qingshuang, Ziyu, and Li Huan about running a preserved fruit workshop. Ziyu listened and said, "Madam." I'm worried, the fruit will increase every year, what if I can't sell it? Why didn't I think about the preserved fruit, I often made it for the house to eat, for myself to eat, it's really not open-minded. ”

Bai Shi laughed: "None of you are as smart as Hui'er in these things, and you think about them a lot." ”

Everyone said yes in unison.

Chen Wenhui smiled: "What's the matter, when it comes to me, hurry up and talk about our business, it's important to make money." ”

Everyone laughed again. These are all old people brought by the Bai family from the capital, they are all suffering with her, and they have created a foundation in this Jiangnan together, so they are not like masters and servants, but like family members.

Everyone discussed the matter of running a preserved fruit workshop again, and the Bai family sent everyone away, leaving Chen Cai's housekeeper alone, and Bai and Chen Cai's housekeeper talked about soybean oil.

Chen Cai thought for a while and said: "The day before yesterday, the master found Wang Yi and said two things, one is to let Wang Yi and the people of Lijiagou take out loans, so that the people can open restaurants, wine shops, and inns, and the other is to let Wang apply for a soybean oil patent. ”

This Bai clan knows. Chen Cai continued: "The former thing, Mr. Wang readily agreed, and the latter thing, Mr. Wang was very moved, which means that we will take out the profits to him." He said, "Otherwise, he will bear the burden, and all the money will be obtained by our family." The old man didn't agree, and finally said okay, my family gets seventy percent, and his family gets thirty percent, but everything is done by him, we don't care, sit on the ground and collect money. ”

Bai said: "This is very true, we just can't eat the existing business and property, why do we need those windfalls?" Money is a thing, and it's not a good thing to have too much. Moreover, we have so many things to do now, so we can save some things, right? ”

Chen Cai hurriedly said yes. Chen Wenhui said: "I'm afraid this is also a lot of money, I don't know what happened to the property we bought first?" ”

Chen Cai hurriedly said: "We now have a total of six Zhuangzi in Ancheng Deqing, three Zhuangzi in Qingyang City, three Zhuangzi in Muyang Mansion, and two Zhuangzi in the capital, which is still because the land in the capital is not easy to buy." There are also shops, we have ten shops in Anseong, Deqing, and Qingyang City, not counting those next to Anseong Market and Deqing Market. ”

Bai said: "The market is going to sell sooner or later, of course, you can't count it." ”

Chen Cai continued: "The best shop is in Beijing. In the capital, we bought 20 rooms at once. It's all in good locations. Not only did this cost a lot of money, but it was also bought with the help of the princess. I calculated, even the rent of these shops for a year, we can't eat it in our house, let alone the grange and business. ”

Chen Wenhui was surprised: "With so many industries, it should have cost a lot of money, right?" Didn't we give all the money to the emperor? ”

Bai Shi smiled: "You shrewd monkey also has times when you are stupid, where can we hand over all our money, give three million taels to the clan, give your grandfather 100,000 taels a year ago, give the emperor 500,000 taels, and we used 500,000 taels to open a branch in the capital at the beginning, and the money for selling technology came out again after the year, and we are ready to give five million taels, but we can probably earn more than 10 million taels." Why don't we have one or two million taels left, isn't it right to buy these properties? ”

Chen Wenhui nodded, and asked again: "Then the emperor only got five million taels, can you be willing?" ”

Bai Shi smiled and said: "The emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, the emperor also knows how much money we make, and he also knows that we also have to give money to the family, no matter how much he gets, he will eat meat, we will drink some soup, the emperor is still willing." ”

Chen Wenhui understood.

Bai Shi said: "However, we said to the outside world that we handed over the money to the emperor, so that someone in the province would beat our idea, and the emperor accepted this money to help us get our name and help us save trouble." Therefore, the emperor will definitely say that the money has been given to him, and our Chen family is a loyal minister, and there is no money left. In this way, our money is worth it, and the emperor's money is also collected steadily. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, yes, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. My family is so rich now, if someone is concerned, it will be bad. It's good now, with two big backers, the family and the emperor, and now it's stable.

The emperor is not afraid of a lot of money, the whole world is his, who dares to fight his idea.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui envied the privileged class again.

Bai talked to Chen Cai about housework and accounts for a while, and Chen Cai went out.

Bai Shi looked at his daughter and remembered something again, and said, "Hui'er, do you know? In two days, your sister Caiyu will be married. ”

"Ah" Chen Wenhui was surprised, Chen Wenhui had never thought about this matter, after all, Chen Wenhui is only eight and a half years old now, where can he think of a friend's marriage. But do the math, Sister Caiyu is sixteen this year, and when she was really married, some people were fifteen or thirteen years old. This era is different from the previous life, this is an era of early marriage.

Bai said: "Do you know whose house it is for? ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "Who's home?" ”

Bai smiled and said, "It's the Wang family." Wang Yihe's eldest son, Wang Zhicheng. ”

Chen Wenhui seems to have a little impression of this person, because he is Yaozhen's brother.

Yaozhen was the first friend she made since she came here. Chen Wenhui thought about Lan Caiyu's generous appearance, and then thought about Wang Zhicheng's shrewd appearance, and suddenly felt that this was also very good, and it was a good match.

Bai continued: "Actually, this girl of the Lan family, I like it very much, the eldest daughter, the Lan family style is good, although she is a businessman, but Lan Caiyu's mother is the daughter of the Li family of Ancheng Academy, so the Lan family can still be regarded as a scholarly family." Lan Caiyu is generous, she looks charming and lovely, her heart is good, and she is also very good with you, the more our family and the Lan family cooperate in the future, just give your eldest brother a daughter-in-law. It's a pity that I hesitated for a moment, but it was set for the Wang family. What a pity. ”

Chen Wenhui was speechless at this moment, it turned out that her mother still had this ambition for her friends, no wonder she was a lot left and right for her friends every time, smiling, she was choosing a future daughter-in-law. But that's fine, it means that in the future, the wives of the brothers will come out of their friends, which is a good thing for themselves.

Chen Wenhui said: "Mother, when will Sister Caiyu get married?" ”

Bai said: "I heard Lan Caiyu's mother tell me that in two days, it will be decided, and they will be married at the end of the year. ”

Chen Wenhui became melancholy: "It's so fast, isn't there only half a year left for us to get together in the future?" ”

Bai Shi "poofed" and smiled: "Silly child, Caiyu married the Wang family, it will be more convenient for you to see her in the future, I watched it by the way when I went to see Yaozhen, why are you still worried about the short time to get together?" ”

Chen Wenhui's spirit was shocked, yes, why didn't I think of this, it seems that I have been in ancient times for a long time and have become accustomed to Jia Baoyu, this is not good.
