Chapter 13: Big Business, Big Hope
The sun is shining.
Xu Ang came to Zhang Ruoxu early.
Now.
Zhang Ruoxu's door hasn't opened yet.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Ruoxu walked out of the room slowly.
Of course, the scope of activity was limited to the Baron's Palace.
After all, if he goes out now, he will immediately become the object of everyone's attention.
Ancient people also liked to watch the excitement.
It seems that the hobby of watching excitement has been handed down from ancient times.
In ancient times, there was a very beautiful man called Wei Jue and Wei Shubao.
Because it is so beautiful, it is famous far and wide.
During the escape again, countless people who were fleeing crowded to see Wei Shubao, and Wei Jue was watched by everyone and died.
That's how the idiom 'watch and kill Wei Jue' came from.
Zhang Ruoxu believes that if he walks on the road with a swagger, he will definitely be watched.
"What's going on with Dalang today?" Zhang Ruoxu saw Xu Ang in the lobby.
"Brother Xian." Xu Ang showed a bright smile on his face and said, "Brother Xian, do you know how our soaps are sold? ”
"Oh? Sold? Zhang Ruoxu was a little surprised, so expensive people rushed to buy it?
"It's all sold, and in less than a stick of incense, it's all sold out!" Xu Ang said with some excitement.
"So fast?"
"Now, Xu Ji is full of people at the door, brother Xian, do you still have soap? How much have you made in the past few days? Xu Ang said.
Zhang Ruoxu: "A thousand yuan." ”
"So little?" Xu Ang was a little disappointed.
"How much does it take?" Zhang Ruoxu asked.
"Brother Xian is, there are more than 400,000 households in Chang'an, with a population of more than one million, of which there are 10,000 rich and noble households. Xu Ang said with a smile: "There must be at least 100,000 yuan per month to be able to satisfy Chang'an City." ”
"I can provide 10,000 yuan a month." Zhang Ruoxu said with a smile.
"That's too little." Xu Ang said disappointedly.
"Less, the price can be stable, too much, once the novelty passes, who will buy it?" Zhang Ruoxu smiled slightly and said, "Moreover, because it is less, we can increase this price appropriately." ”
"The original ten taels can be sold for twenty taels or thirty taels, and the price sold will only increase, not decrease."
"10,000 yuan a month, and then you won't have to fight for a head and break the bloodstream?" Zhang Ruoxu said with a smile.
Why are those famous cars, brand-name bags, and brand-name shoes so expensive in later generations?
Is it really because they are difficult to make?
No!
It's because of their low yield.
The low yield is not due to the fact that the production speed is not fast, but because there is a deliberate lack of production.
Too much, it's not worth much.
Scarcity is expensive.
Diamonds were very expensive in later generations, but the annual diamond production was calculated in tons, but the jewelers of diamonds strictly controlled the circulation of diamonds.
This creates the illusion that scarcity is expensive, and as a result, the price of diamonds remains high.
Xu Ang listened to Zhang Ruoxu's words, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
That's really the truth.
"Hahaha...... It seems that your business talent is better than mine, brother. Xu Ang couldn't help laughing: "Tomorrow, I will raise this soap to thirty taels!" ”
"No, if you raise too much at once, it will scare people away." Zhang Ruoxu said with a smile: "This price has to come slowly, increase a little bit a month, increase a little a month, and a long stream." ”
"Moreover, the limited purchase, only 33 to 34 yuan a day, makes people feel that there are not many of these things." Zhang Ruoxu said: "Rare things are expensive. ”
"Yes, yes." Xu Ang nodded and said.
"So...... This price has increased, and my purchase price here has to be increased in response. Zhang Ruoxu said with a smile.
You can't make money, my old Zhang doesn't make money, right?
"That's true." Xu Ang smiled slightly and said: "However, you also know that our business is not easy, if your purchase price is too high, won't our Xu family lose money?" You must know that our Xu family has to pay commercial taxes. ”
"Otherwise, from the original price, I will give you one tael of silver for every ten taels of excess, what do you think?" Xu Ang said with a smile.
"So, well, then let's settle it." Xu Ang hurriedly said.
Then, he led someone to carry away the goods in Zhang Ruoxu's room.
"Phew! A traitor and profiteer of a family! ”
Seeing Xu Jingzong leave with a smile on his face, Zhang Ruoxu couldn't help but speak.
Datang's commercial tax revenue mainly comes from salt and iron.
But salt and iron were monopolized by the family, and the family received a lot of money, but the treasury was empty.
10,000 wen tax 400 wen, 100 for buying, 300 for sellers.
However, even so, the nobles of the family were not willing to pay taxes.
As for the tax collectors, most of them are petty officials.
Where do you dare to offend the nobles of the family?
They work as petty officials just to support their families.
As for the officials of the household department, they are basically from a family of scholars, and they have turned a blind eye.
Who doesn't have a business?
If you accept one family today, you will open this mouth, and you will receive your family next time.
Therefore, everything with a little background will not be taxed.
The people who pay taxes are basically those who have no background.
As for patriotism, I'm sorry, there are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year-old dynasties.
Today you can be a Tang person, tomorrow you can be a Song person, a Ming person, a Sui person, and a Zhou person.
Palace.
Li Shimin was looking at the news from his subordinates and laughed.
"This Xu Jingzong really didn't lie to me, good, good, good."
"It turned out to be the clan of Gongjin."
"Great goodness, great goodness."
"Quickly tell this news to the people of the Zhang family!"
Li Shimin sent people to collect information about Zhang Ruoxu, and sure enough, he found relevant news.
At this moment, he was very happy.
"Jingzong is really my left and right!" Li Shimin couldn't help but say.
