Chapter 91: The Xu Family's Harvest

Xu family.

Xu Huai looked at the supply order in front of him, and his joy was beyond words.

The purchase of silk is lower than the cost of one's own production.

Xu Huai's current arrangement is to send a boat every two months to smuggle the boat carrying weaving products from Ningbo to Quanzhou.

When it arrives at Quanzhou Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion will naturally have a ship from Franc to hand over at this time.

In Quanzhou, the Francos and the Xu family would exchange each other's goods.

The Franc man would take the silk and sail back to the Franc Dock in Luzon.

After the Xu family exchanges goods, they will follow the route and return to Ningbo Mansion.

In this way, the Xu family completed the transaction and successfully smuggled silk to the Francosis and made a lot of money.

Xu Huai and Franco, carefully studying the routes coming and going.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was harassed by the Japanese invaders, and the punishment of the sea ban was still extremely serious.

If the imperial court finds that a private vessel has gone to sea to trade with Fanbang, it will face extremely severe punishment.

Losing one's head is the lightest, and the whole family is assigned to the border guards, and they suffer from the severe cold at the border pass, which is a big thing that affects the family.

Although Xu Huai clearly violated the sea ban, he was not afraid.

These things, because of the face of Da Ming Law, no one will say that he is right.

But secretly, under the influence of intertwined interests, there are still a large number of private merchant ships at sea.

Although Xu Huai's business has profits far beyond ordinary people, in the eyes of most insiders, Xu Huai is just a small fight.

And Xu Huai himself also adheres to the idea that he must not be big, if the huge profits from smuggling silk are known by people with ulterior motives.

The big cake that Xu Huai enjoyed alone should have attracted countless tigers, leopards and jackals.

When the time comes, not to mention that Xu Huai can still eat a bite of cake, I am afraid that even his life will be lost.

The era when the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Francois gradually flourished should have begun around 1560.

In the current year 1540, the Francois had just come into contact with the Ming Dynasty, and could only carry out initial trade, and the circulation of goods was not too much.

So now, Xu Huai can be regarded as walking on the tide of the times and earning the first dividend of the times.

Speaking of which, there are three things that Xu Huai is worried about now.

The first is the output of silk fabrics, which determines the upper limit of Xu Huai's profits.

The second is Songjiang Mansion - Ningbo Mansion - Quanzhou Mansion - Luzon Island - Franc Robot Wharf, an important trade route.

The third thing, Xu Huai earned back the silver, and wanted the Xu family to rise again in Songjiang Mansion.

These three things are all very important, and they also affect each other, Xu Huai can't feel at ease with any of them.

Now, with a large number of silk fabrics supplied by the Aba Commercial Bank, Xu Huai finally solved the first problem.

Production has gone up, and that's a good thing.

But then problems followed, and the route is still in a state of smuggling.

Since the construction of large merchant ships is prohibited, it is safest to use small boats for smuggling under the influence of the sea ban.

Xu Huai can only use small boats to transport, and there is an upper limit to the number of goods that can be transported.

Although Xu Huai is still a little far from the upper limit, there is still a big problem now.

The bill of goods sent by the Abarili firm was more than the silk fabrics that Xu Huai had jointly purchased in more than 20 places last time.

Now Xu Huai was surprised by the wealth of the Abarili Firm, and on the other hand, he was thinking about another thorny problem.

The goods bought from Abariri are cheap and large, and they are as much as they want.

The silk fabrics produced by themselves are expensive to transfer raw materials in other places, and the textile workshops work overtime, and the manufacturing cost is extremely high.

Now Xu Huai is still borrowing money to produce, and he has to pay 10% of the interest.

For every 100 taels of Xu Huai's order, the cost of his own production turned out to be 58 taels, plus 10% of the interest on borrowed production.

The cost of the Xu family's own manufacturing was 64 taels.

minus the intermediary fee charged by the operator Cao's family, this is a total of 74 taels of silver.

Xu Huai also had to spend one-third of his profits to maintain the smooth trade route between Songjiang Prefecture and Luzon.

For every hundred taels of silver, another 10 taels of silver have to maintain the route, which is already 84 taels of silver.

In this way, Xu Huai calculated the profit of his own production, and every 100 taels of orders was only 17 taels of silver.

If you purchase from Abariri, there is only 30 taels of purchase cost for every 100 taels of order.

Coupled with the intermediary fee of the Cao family of Ningguo Mansion of 10 taels of silver, and the route fee of 10 taels of silver, a total of 50 taels of silver.

On the other hand, Xu Huai purchased goods from Abari, and the profit he could make was as high as 50 taels.

Therefore, the profit ratio has reached a huge disparity in this comparison.

Self-produced: Purchased

17 taels: 50 taels.

Seeing this ratio, Xu Huai was shocked.

The average price of the previous purchase from Songjiang Prefecture was 45 taels, which was 13 taels lower than that of self-production.

And Abariri only had a price of 30 taels, and gave up the profit of 15 taels.

13+15+17=50。

Sure enough, this net profit of 50 taels is right.

What is this, this is living money.

The profits from outsourcing are almost three times that of self-production.

Xu Huai's brain is not broken, of course he knows what this means.

Originally, Xu Huai sold silk for the first time, and the profit was 620,000 taels, and after deducting the cost of maintaining the trade route, it was estimated to be about 450,000 taels.

If all the items purchased from Abareri are replaced, it is estimated that the profit will be at least 1.2 million taels at one time.

1.2 million taels of net profit......

Thinking of this, Xu Huai swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

As the head of the Xu family, Xu Huai knew the Xu family's income in previous years.

1,200,000 taels...

It is close to the income of the Xu family for half a year, and what really falls into the pocket of the Xu family is about 1 million taels a year.

Do it once, top it for a year, who can withstand this.

Faced with such a huge number, Xu Huai was silent.

If this continues, it is estimated that it will only take a year or two for Xu Huai to completely turn over, and he can also become the number one boss in the entire Songjiang Mansion.

Thinking of this, Xu Huai's heart instantly became excited.

It's just that the silk purchased from the Aba Commercial Bank, plus the silk produced by himself, has exceeded the limit of Xu Huai's transportation.

Xu Huai's next step is to greatly reduce the share of self-produced silk and try to reduce the cost.

Of course, Xu Huai couldn't sell all the weaving mills and Zhuangzi.

Because there is no one in Songjiang Prefecture who eats so much of the share at one time.

But if there is such a person, Xu Huai really wants to sell all these Zhuangzi.

Of course, the premise of selling all Zhuangzi is that Xu Huai must reach a new contact with this Aba firm.

Xu Huai's current goal is to find out the details of this Aba Commercial Bank, and Xu Huai will try his best to reach a long-term cooperation with Aba Commercial Bank.
