After the location of the new workshop was decided, Yang Li spent two days moving all the idle things.

Zhang Xiang also asked Qian Ziang to take care of the people from the Horse Mansion, and at the same time, he also called the Huang shopkeeper of Huang Ji Buzhuang to see it, and the Huang shopkeeper was also quite satisfied with this location.

He said that after the house was all cleaned, he began to set up a new workshop.

On this day, as soon as Zhang Xiang finished lunch, Qian Ziang came over to call him, saying that the shopkeeper Huang had gone to the Laolonghe side.

Zhang Xiang nodded and said that he would pass later.

Today is the time for acceptance, of course, he has to let the Huang shopkeeper fulfill his promise and take a look at the account book of Huang Ji Buzhuang.

The old fox is now satisfied with the location of the new workshop, and he should not dare to fight with him anymore.

Since he has done investment, of course Zhang Xiang has to understand the management ability and revenue capacity of this Huang Ji Buzhuang, he doesn't want to throw money into a bottomless pit, he suffered this loss in his last life.

I can have a long memory now!

After a while, Zhang Xiang asked the little slave to get into the carriage and left the house.

"Little slave, why haven't you seen the princess today?"

On the carriage, Zhang Xiang asked the little slave on the side.

He originally wanted to take the princess over to see it today, but he didn't see the princess in the mansion for a day.

Although the princess had already said that all business matters would be handled by him, she believed that he could do it well.

But after all, he used the princess's money, at least she had to have a number in her heart.

The little slave hurriedly said: "Back to the concubine, the princess went to the prefect's mansion early this morning, saying that it would be good for me to follow the concubine." ”

"What is she doing at the prefect's house?" Zhang Xiang asked casually.

The little slave shook his head: "The slave maid doesn't know, the princess only said that Miss Zheng Jingyan, the daughter of the prefect, invited her over." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Xiang nodded, anyway, the princess never told him anything, so he didn't think there was anything strange, so he just gave up.

Soon, the master and servant and the housekeeper Qian Ziang came to the old dragon river.

When entering the house, the shopkeeper Huang was beckoning his subordinates to be busy arranging, and after learning that the house had been cleaned up yesterday, he brought people over today.

"Shopkeeper Huang, the efficiency is quite good, I've done so much this morning."

After Zhang Xiang came in, he observed it and said hello to him.

The shopkeeper Huang hurriedly bowed, and a fat face smiled: "Back to the horse, this late autumn has just passed, and winter is coming, we must rush out a new batch of animal skin fabrics as soon as possible before the winter comes, otherwise it will be difficult to compete with other cloth villages." ”

Seize market resources, business sense is not bad.

Zhang Xiang praised in his heart.

Shopkeeper Huang is also an understanding person, knowing the purpose of Zhang Xiang's coming, he stretched out his hand to him and said, "Please come inside the horse, let's talk in the house." ”

After the two entered the house, the shopkeeper Huang asked Zhang Xiang to hand over a thick account book: "Donkey, this is the record of Huangji Buzhuang's dealings with all the merchants in the past two years, as well as the amount of money earned. ”

Zhang Xiang nodded, and then looked through it.

At the same time, he also asked the slave to fetch charcoal pens and paper.

According to his requirements, this charcoal pen is fired very finely, about the thickness of a thumb, and the barrel is also wrapped in a thin layer of paper, and one end is sharpened, which is very convenient for writing.

It's not as good as a real pencil, but it's enough.

While Zhang Xiang was flipping through the ledger, he also wrote down the numbers recorded in the ledger on paper and then used mathematical formulas to calculate them.

After a while, he had written down many different calculation formulas on the paper, densely packed.

The shopkeeper Huang on the side was already stunned and stunned.

These businessmen usually calculate these things, and they just use abacus and some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, calculate a little, record a little, and have never seen such an algorithm.

The little slave was also busy, pouring water for Zhang Xiang and handing him new paper.

About an hour later, Zhang Xiang stopped his pen and nodded to himself, the results he calculated were not much different from those recorded in the ledger.

There are results in the ledger, and he just wants to calculate it again by himself, in case this yellow shopkeeper makes fake data to deceive him.

After calculating the results, Zhang Xiang was still quite satisfied, so he smiled and said to the Huang shopkeeper on the side: "Huang Ji Buzhuang made a profit of 18,352 taels last year, 21,548 taels last year, and 19,654 taels so far this year. ”

Hearing the figures reported by Zhang Xiang, Shopkeeper Huang recovered from his surprise and hurriedly said: "Donkey, if this new workshop is opened, and one more shop is opened, then there will be at least 10,000 taels of profit." ”

"Then don't you include the cost of this new workshop, as well as the cost of raw materials for purchasing animal skins!" Zhang Xiang smiled: "I just took a look, the batch of animal skins you purchased cost a total of three thousand eight hundred taels, one thousand taels for this new workshop, one thousand taels for shops, this cloth village has expanded, and new guys have to be recruited, if the men's wages are not counted, and then the materials bought for the new workshop are counted, and the miscellaneous things are calculated, and one thousand taels must be deducted, as well as the commercial tax handed over to the government, all these things are calculated, then you will not have much left." ”

After hearing this, the old shopkeeper was embarrassed.

Zhang Xiang said: "Huang shopkeeper, I count these for you, there is no other meaning, just let yourself have a number in your heart, this business must have investment, and the return to capital is not a matter of a while, your Huang Ji Buzhuang's profits are growing every year, indicating that the benefits are good, after this year, next year's earnings will be money." ”

"That's exactly what the colt said." The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "Don't hide the horse, I have calculated before, the price of the cloth processed from these animal skins will definitely increase a little, in the past, the profit of ordinary cloth is seventy, this kind of cloth can be increased to ten percent, three thousand eight hundred taels of animal skin raw materials, if all the fabrics are sold out, in addition to all the expenses and costs, you can make a net profit of 20,000 taels." ”

"And how long will it take you to sell this batch of fabric?" Zhang Xiang asked rhetorically.

"This..."

Shopkeeper Huang thought for a moment and shook his head: "Huang doesn't dare to assert, after all, Jiangnan is not better than the north, and it is not clear whether this kind of fabric can make Jiangnan people like me, I just want to make a fortune this winter, and some large families should need it, but next year, the weather will be warmer, and I don't know if it will sell well." ”

"That is, the market has not yet opened." Zhang Xiang thought for a moment.

"Sales?" Shopkeeper Huang didn't understand.

"Oh, that's how the goods are sold." Zhang Xiang explained briefly, and then said: "Then if you can't sell it out this winter, and you can't sell it when the weather is warm next year, this workshop has finished all the fabrics, will it be stored?" The goods are stockpiled, and you continue to do this workshop? If you continue to do it, it still can't be sold, you still have to Tun, you are a dead cycle, you can never sell out, you will only get more and more, and in the end all rot in the warehouse, what should you do with these losses? ”

"This..."The shopkeeper Huang was dumbfounded by the question.

Although he has been a cloth merchant for so many years, he has only been circling around Jiangnan all these years.

In fact, there are a lot of cloth merchants in Jiangnan, and the three major cloth merchants in Pingzhou alone basically monopolize most of the market, and they just follow behind to drink some soup and water.

Speaking of which, it still doesn't matter, there is no network to expand to a bigger and wider market.

If he had, he wouldn't have come up with such a new way of making hides.

This kind of idea is only the first time he has done it, and he actually doesn't know if it can be effective.

Zhang Xiang thought for a while, then asked: "I remember that the shopkeeper Huang said that the people over there in Dongyan in the north like this kind of animal skin cloth. ”

Shopkeeper Huang nodded: "Exactly, but the people over there can't do textile work, I've seen those fabrics, they are shoddy, and they don't have ordinary silk fabrics to do well, and the people over there like our silk in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"That is, if you do this new cloth well, they will prefer it in the winter." Zhang Xiang asked.

The shopkeeper Huang hurriedly said: "Exactly, the Da Chongfu runner told me that if I make these new fabrics, he will buy these fabrics to sell to the Dongyan people in the future, but he doesn't need much, after all, the distance is too far, he brings these goods back from Jiangnan, and he has to pay a lot of tariffs every time he passes a checkpoint, and when he gets there, it's okay to sell it out, there is still money to be made, but if it can't be sold, he is also doing a loss-making business, so he generally doesn't want too much, and the rest can only be sold by ourselves in Jiangnan, I think that since the people of Dongyan like it, the people of Jiangnan should also like it, so I thought of opening such a workshop and expanding the shop of Huang Ji. ”

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "Different regions, the needs are different, Jiangnan people are used to wearing silk, it is not easy to make Jiangnan people get used to wearing this kind of animal skin cloth in winter, Dongyan people are used to it, so if they do it well, they will like it." ”

"What can the horse do?" When the shopkeeper Huang saw that Zhang Xiang was right, he was also a little anxious.

Zhang Xiang really had some bold ideas in his heart.

It's just that these ideas are not practical at the moment, so I don't want to talk about them.

He shook his head and said: "Doing business, how can I be familiar with the Huang shopkeeper, I just discuss it with the Huang shopkeeper, learn to learn, and the Huang shopkeeper don't have to worry, your idea is still feasible at present, just explore the way in Jiangnan first, if it is feasible, it will be a big business." ”

Huang shopkeeper said: "Huang thinks exactly like this. ”

Zhang Xiang said: "If the new store opens, I want to let the money housekeeper be the shopkeeper of the new store, and let Mr. Du be the bookkeeper, I don't know if the shopkeeper Huang thinks it is feasible?" I thought about it, Shopkeeper Huang is busy with two shops by himself, and he is also busy with the affairs of two workshops, and he is really too busy, and he is not very relieved to find others! Steward Qian and Mr. Du are both members of their own family, and they went better than outsiders. ”

Shopkeeper Huang understood that Zhang Xiang wanted to insert his own people into it, so as to prevent him from doing tricks in the future.

He can understand.

In fact, a small businessman like him, who has partnered with the Horse Mansion to do business, how dare he do anything.

I can't wait to hold on to such a big tree as the Horse Mansion forever, and it will be more convenient to do business in Pingzhou in the future.

Since Zhang Xiang said so, he hurriedly pushed the boat down the river and arched his hand: "Others Huang is really not at ease, and there is no other candidate on Huang's side. ”

Zhang Xiang said with satisfaction: "Then it's decided, just tell me when you finish everything." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiang got up and stretched: "I've been sitting for so long, I'm really a little tired, I'll go out for a walk first, and Shopkeeper Huang will continue to be busy, don't worry about me." ”

As he spoke, he called the little slave and was about to go out.

Shopkeeper Huang picked up the papers left by Zhang Xiang on the table just now, and hurriedly said: "Donkey, do you use these to calculate all the numbers in this account book in such a short period of time?" ”

Zhang Xiang smiled: "It's just some very simple algorithms, not unusual." ”

Huang's shopkeeper admired and said: "The horse is really talented, not only the poetry is unparalleled, but also the arithmetic is so powerful, Huang has been counting for many years, I have never seen this kind of algorithm, Huang Ji Buzhuang's account book, is to invite five account room gentlemen, it took more than a month to calculate, I didn't expect the horse to be counted in just one hour, it is really admirable to Huang." If you can learn this kind of algorithm for donkeys, then I don't know how convenient it will be in the future. ”

"Want to learn?" Zhang Xiang asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper Huang hurriedly said: "If the horse does not hesitate to teach, Huang must be carefully taught." ”

Zhang Xiang said: "I will teach these algorithms to the money steward, if the shopkeeper Huang wants to learn, then I will walk around with the money steward more in the future." ”
