Chapter 218, became a fragrant bun with money
Since Liu Jin went to Tianjin, the affairs of Xishan Coal Industry in Beijing have been handed over to Qian Youcai, who was originally just a small owner of a coal shop in Beijing, but now he has become one of the shareholders of Xishan Coal Industry, and he is a partner with the current emperor to do business.
When he first learned that he and Emperor Hongzhi were doing business together, Qian Youcai was shocked, and even took the initiative to give all his share to Emperor Hongzhi, after all, the other party was the emperor, and he was just a small common man, and the difference in status was too far.
What's more, the business of Xishan Coal Industry is getting bigger and bigger, not only doing honeycomb coal business in the capital, but also beginning to spread honeycomb coal to the surrounding big cities, making millions of silver a year.
However, the people sent by Emperor Hongzhi to Xishan Coal Industry replied to Qian Youcai and let him take his share with peace of mind, take care of this Xishan Coal Industry, and learn more from Liu Jin, so Qian Youcai has now slowly departed from the taste of the original small businessman, and is more attentive when taking care of the industry of Xishan Coal Industry, because this is not only his own industry, but also the industry of the current Hongzhi Emperor.
If you lose money or make money, you can't let Emperor Hongzhi lose money, not to mention, under the management of Liu Jin, everything is in order, thriving, and it is very profitable.
Xishan Coal Industry employs tens of thousands of people, and there are a lot of things that need to be purchased every day, of which grain is the majority.
As we all know, whether it is the later generations or the Ming Dynasty, this procurement link is full of oil and water, and Xishan Coal Industry has also found out a few stewards one after another, so in the procurement of this piece, money and wealth are personally controlled, especially the procurement of major items, such as the procurement of grain, are all money and wealth to talk about in person, and do not worry about leaving this matter to the people below.
As usual, Qian Youcai walked very leisurely on the streets of the capital with four or five stewards of Xishan Coal Industry, and the shopkeepers and bosses of the shops on both sides of the street would immediately come up to greet Qian Youcai when they saw it.
Without it, it's still for the money.
The demand for materials purchased by Xishan Coal Industry, which is in charge of Qian Youcai, is too great, not to mention anything else, just for the uniform standard of clothes, Xishan Coal Industry will send tens of thousands of sets to its employees.
Tens of thousands of sets of clothes are nothing in the later generations, and any small factory can be easily completed, but in this era, it is popular to buy cloth and make clothes by yourself, and there are few finished clothes to buy.
So at the beginning, Liu Jin bought cloth by himself, and then built an additional Xishan garment factory by himself, specifically recruiting the wives and sisters of these employees of Xishan Coal Industry to make clothes.
Originally, the Xishan Garment Factory was the first factory in the Ming Dynasty to specialize in making finished clothes, of course, the main customers are the Xishan Coal Industry and Glass Factory, as well as many industries under Liu Jin in Tianjin.
These industries alone need more than 100,000 sets of clothes every year, so that the number of workers recruited by Xishan Garment Factory is also hundreds.
Xishan Garment Factory is also affiliated to Xishan Coal Industry, so the amount involved in the purchase of this cloth alone is very huge.
People who do cloth business in the whole capital know the Xishan Garment Factory and know that money has wealth, so whenever money and wealth appear, the owners and shopkeepers of these cloth shops will come out to greet them diligently, and pull this money and wealth to drink tea and sit in their own stores.
"Old money, old money, let's have a meal together in the evening, I heard that there are some new seafood dishes here in Mochizuki Tower, and the taste is very good, let's go and try it together."
This is a cloth boss, who kindly invites Qian Youcai to eat, and Mochizuki Lou is also following the rising tide because of Liu Jin's astonishment, specializing in making some innovative dishes.
Recently, there has been a steady stream of sea fish entering Beijing from Tianjin, and naturally Mochizuki Tower has also launched some seafood dishes, which are very popular.
"Boss Qian, Boss Qian, I've recently arrived in some pre-rain Longjing, and I asked Boss Qian to appreciate the light and help taste it."
This is a boss who sells tea, and he has a relationship with money.
"Boss Qian, Boss Qian, I have a batch of good timber, I'll give you the lowest price, they're all old friends, just let me earn an errand fee."
This is a boss who sells timber, and he wants to sell a batch of newly arrived timber to Qian Youcai, and the demand for timber in Xishan Coal Industry is also very huge.
Qian Youcai enjoys this feeling very much, and when he meets a familiar boss and shopkeeper, he will stop and chat with each other, and when he meets an unfamiliar person, he will smile and talk to each other a few times.
He used to be a small owner of a charcoal shop, where can he enjoy the current treatment, the bosses and shopkeepers of all walks of life in the capital have to please themselves, and they all want to get orders from their own hands and earn silver.
This feeling of being flattered is naturally very enjoyable.
Even the people who came out with Qian Youcai raised their heads one by one, and they looked more proud when they wore the clothes of the manager of Xishan Coal Industry.
Of course, this is also a consistent tradition here in the West Mountain.
Whether it is the workers here in Xishan, or the steward in Xishan, or the family members of Xishan Coal Industry employees, they are very proud of the outside world, because Xishan Coal Industry can make money here, and ordinary employees can almost earn two or three taels of silver a month, and some are diligent and hardworking, and they are willing to specialize in a certain technology and can reach four or five taels of silver a month.
Xishan Coal Industry here is a package of three meals a day, the money earned can be taken home, this income in this era is absolutely leveraged, coupled with a long-term sense of honor training, so that employees go to night school to read and write, Xishan Coal Industry employees are very loyal to Xishan Coal Industry.
Naturally, the people of Xishan Coal Industry show a feeling that they are more bullish.
Qian Youcai walked with people on the streets of the capital, and soon came to a place dedicated to buying and selling grain.
As long as the money is sprinkled, a lot of people are willing to do business with themselves, but the purchase of grain, since the famine spread, he has no money to buy food.
Many times, even if he has money, it is useless to ask his grandfather to sue his grandmother, which makes him both angry and helpless.
