Chapter 82: Cooperation
The cloth bag carried by the thrush comes from Yang Xu's creativity.
When he was in Jinyang City, Yang Xu would occasionally come up with a sentence or two of brilliant poems or good ideas, and as long as the thrush followed him, he would memorize it by heart, and then go back and write it again.
It's just that although the thrush is smart, it is impossible to remember all the poems and ideas that Yang Xu came up with, and he cried a few times for this reason.
So Yang Xu pointed to the thrush and asked her to sew a women's backpack similar to her own world, and then put pen, ink and paper into it.
The pen is a quill pen, which is naturally from Yang Xu's creativity.
The ink is in a small porcelain vase, and when you need it, you can open the stopper and dip it with a quill pen to write.
The paper was cut to the size of a palm by a thrush, stacked one by one, and bound into a thick little book.
When going out, as long as you bring these things, the thrush can record Yang Xu's words at any time and not forget them.
Listening to the conversation between Yang Xu and Thrush, Su Cheng on the side was dumbfounded, his face full of incredulity.
Seeing his appearance, Yang Xu smiled and asked, "Su Changshi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Su Cheng came back to his senses at this time, and said, "The restaurant you said has a net profit of 6,000 taels of silver per month...... Is it a joke? ”
In his mind, a small restaurant in a border city can have a net profit of 6,000 silver a year, which is already very considerable, where can it be 6,000 a month? That's almost more than double the current Tianxiang Restaurant, which is simply impossible.
Yang Xu said: "No kidding, I'm serious!" Alas, six thousand taels of silver...... It's a bit below my expectations. ”
When Su Cheng heard his words, he felt like vomiting blood.
A small restaurant, the net profit of 6,000 taels of silver a month is too low, and you let the Tianxiang Restaurant with a net profit of only 3 or 4,000 taels of silver this month, how can you be embarrassed?
Yang Xu didn't know that this Tianxiang Restaurant was actually an industry under the Qin Wangfu, and it was secretly managed by Su Cheng.
In the Zhao Kingdom, the prince also took the money, but if he only relied on the money and had no other income, the prince would not be able to maintain a luxurious life, and many things could not be done.
So almost every prince of Zhao State, more or less, has some "gray income".
It's just that Shinong is an industrialist, and the status of a businessman is the lowest, and it is impossible for the prince to come forward to make money in person, so his industries will be handed over to some henchmen to take care of.
For example, this Su Cheng Su Changshi is in charge of many industries under the Qin Palace, including Tianxiang Restaurant.
Su Cheng thought that he had run Tianxiang Restaurant well, and he had been praised by King Qin for this, but Yang Xu's words gave him a heavy blow and made him a little suspicious of life.
He really couldn't think of how a restaurant that was not even medium in size could make a net profit of 6,000 taels of silver in a single month.
Yang Xu looked at Su Cheng's shocked and puzzled appearance, and just wanted to laugh in his heart.
Since he knew that behind this Su Changshi was the King of Qin, Yang Xu threw out the income of the Yang family restaurant without concealment.
His purpose in doing this was to seek cooperation with the Qin Wangfu and open a restaurant in the imperial capital.
In the territory of Zhao, apart from the emperor and the crown prince, what could be more reliable than doing business in partnership with the king of Qin?
In Yang Xu's view, making money steadily is more important than anything else, and choosing to cooperate with Qin Wangfu is to seek a stable word, and it is a big deal to give up some more benefits.
What's more, he still has many means to make money that he has not used, if there is no support and protection from the Qin Palace's palace in the future, in this imperial capital where powerful people are everywhere, he is tantamount to a piece of fat, anyone can pounce and take a bite.
And he and Zhao Bang can be regarded as having a relationship, and I feel that the high-ranking and powerful third prince is not like a greedy person, and he must not open his mouth.
After making sure that what Fang Bai said was not a lie, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "No wonder Mr. Yang can be praised by King Qin, in this business matter, he really has extraordinary means!" In the future, Su will definitely ask Mr. Yang for more benefits! ”
Yang Xu said politely: "Where!" Where! Su Changshi, you and I learn from each other! ”
Su Cheng smiled "haha" and said, "You and I are like each other at first sight." From today on, I won't call you Mr. Yang, and you won't call me Su Changshi, so let's call each other brothers, how about it? ”
"Brother Su. The younger brother is polite. ”
Yang Xu hit the snake on the pole, and when he heard this, he immediately got up, hugged his fists and saluted Su Cheng.
Su Cheng is the chief of the Qin Palace, in charge of the affairs of the palace, and he must also be the confidant of the King of Qin, and making friends with him is only good for Yang Xu.
"Brother Yang."
Su Cheng also got up and returned the salute, and then looked at Yang Xu and smiled, as if they were a pair of good friends who cherished each other.
After the two sat down, Su Cheng said openly: "Don't hide it, this Tianxiang Restaurant is one of King Qin's industries...... King Qin knew that Brother Yang came to the imperial capital this time to open a restaurant, so he specially ordered Su to invite Brother Yang to come here and discuss cooperation with Brother Yang......
Hearing that King Qin took the initiative to seek cooperation, Yang Xu was even more happy in his heart.
He sat up straight, and said, "How to cooperate, please ask Brother Su to come and hear about it......"
When it came to business, Su Cheng showed a shrewd side, putting aside the newly established plastic-like brotherhood between the two, and said thoughtfully: "We use this Tianxiang Restaurant as a shareholder, which can be renamed Yangjia Restaurant, and everything will be taken care of by Brother Yang...... What does Brother Yang think? ”
Yang Xu said: "This ...... How many shares do you want to share? ”
Su Cheng twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Yang has a life-saving grace to King Qin, according to King Qin's will, it doesn't hurt that this restaurant is given to Brother Yang......"
Yang Xu knew that he was joking, shook his head and said, "How can this be made?" Even if King Qin really sent me, I wouldn't dare to ask for ......."
Su Cheng smiled again: "That's ...... Brother Yang looked at it and just gave some shares. ”
Yang Xu naturally wouldn't take the words "just give some shares", thought about it, and said tentatively: "Now including the Qin Wangfu, there are four shareholders in this Yang Family Restaurant...... Qin Wangfu invested in this restaurant and invested the most, so how about giving you forty percent of the shares? ”
"If the restaurant is handed over to Brother Yang to take care of, I don't know how much net profit will be this month?"
Su Cheng asked noncommittally.
Yang Xu thought about it carefully, and then stretched out two fingers: "There should be about 20,000 taels!" ”
The scale of this Tianxiang restaurant is more than four or five times larger than the Yang family restaurant in Jinyang City, and it is very good to build a small comprehensive commercial body in the plan, if the net income is less than 20,000 taels of silver a month, Yang Xu feels that he is too much of a failure.
And in the future, if you earn silver, you can also buy shops on both sides and expand the scale of the restaurant to a larger scale, and then you will only earn more silver.
When Su Cheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
If, according to Yang Xu, Qin Wangfu occupies forty percent of the shares in the newly opened restaurant, then the monthly dividend is eight thousand taels of silver, which is twice as much as when he took care of the restaurant.
If this is the case, wouldn't it be just right to transfer the restaurant to Yang Xu to take care of it, but the Qin Wangfu would take advantage of it, and he would be able to save his heart and focus on other affairs?
This Yang Xu is also interested, and he gave forty percent of the shares as soon as he opened his mouth, and he felt that it was just right, and I believe that King Qin would be very satisfied.
When Su Cheng thought of this, he became more and more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Yang Xu.
