Chapter 54: Profitable
Shopkeeper Wang thought for a while, and said to Zhu Shaochen: "Chen'er, you haven't had much contact with these small businesses before. So you don't know, these 752 taels of silver are already equivalent to two years of the prefect of Kaifeng. ”
"Uncle, is that making money or not making money?" This is actually what Zhu Shaochen cares about.
Zhu Shaochen really has no concept of silver taels as a unit price. That's why I said this.
750 taels of silver, if 1400 wen is exchanged for one tael of silver at that time. It is equivalent to 1.05 million texts. This era of a bun is a penny. The turnover of 1.05 million is already quite terrifying.
"Today, we also gave away 5,000 packs of refined salt, if we don't count this, we will still make a profit of more than 200 taels." The shopkeeper said.
"But if you count the fine salt that was sent out, it would be a lot less profitable."
"The prince is too generous this time, a bag of refined salt weighs a catty, and five thousand catties of refined salt is calculated according to the subsequent supply price to us of one catty and thirty taels of silver, that is, 110 taels of silver, then we still have less than 100 taels of gross profit today. Deduct the labor and other costs of the entire supermarket. It won't exceed 50 taels of silver. But today, this salt king's mansion did not settle with us. Wang Wencai calculated Zhu Shaochen one by one.
Zhu Shaochen listened to them one by one and was stunned on the side.
It turns out that it is actually a terrible thing that I can earn 20 taels of silver for a carriage.
Speaking of salt again, Zhu Shaochen naturally had to ask Wang Wencai.
"Uncle, what do you think of our fine salt?"
As soon as he heard this fine salt, Wang Wencai smiled so much that his face bloomed with joy, "Shao Chen, did you refine this fine salt?" In the future, I am afraid that all salt merchants will depend on us for food. ”
"No, it was trained by a female official in the palace, and she is here today. Jia Ru, I came to see the shopkeeper of the king. After speaking, Zhu Shaochen pointed at Jia Ru.
Jia Ru heard Zhu Shaochen's introduction, and hurriedly stood up. gave Wang Wencai a blessing.
Wang Wencai looked at Jia Ru and nodded hurriedly. This girl is beautiful, and she is so talented.
"Miss Jia Ru is talented!" Wang Wencai said, but he knew that since this Jia Ru was from the palace. Then you can't take it too seriously. turned around and then said to Zhu Shaochen: "Shaochen, you must know that this salt is indispensable for a day, and I think one pound of our salt can be worth more than two catties of coarse salt that we used to eat." ”
"Our fine salt looks good, and the price is only three points more expensive. The paper packets on the salt shipped today are printed with the word 'Zhou' in our Zhou Palace. I think that in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell salt without the word "Zhou". ”
At this time, most of the people who participated in the meeting smiled happily. looked at Miss Jia Ru again, and Jia Ru was embarrassed.
It turned out that the paper bag printed with the word 'Zhou' was also thought up by Jia Ru.
Zhu Shaochen didn't expect this nerd to be quite brand-conscious.
"What have you sold today, and there is not much running water. I asked my uncle to report it and let everyone know about it. ”
Zhu Shaochen thought about it, so that he could understand what was good to sell and what was not good. It's also better to stock up isn't.
"Today, all kinds of fruits and vegetables total about 20 taels of silver, all kinds of meat are sold for 50 taels of silver, and books, brushes, rice paper, and inkstones total 70 taels." I am afraid that this is because there are so many people who read books today.
"Yes, Shao Chen, today's four-wheeled carriage of yours was directly sold for two for a total of 80 taels. Four horses for pulling carts and horses, 60 taels. There are other cloths and other ......"
Four horses are only 60 taels of silver? How good and cheap we are.
Zhu Shaochen seemed to remember that the horses were sold for dozens of taels of silver each.
Having a horse in this year is like having a car in the Hereafter.
But the horse that wants to come here to pull the cart may not be a good horse!
Wang Wencai listed them one by one, and Zhu Shaochen was most interested in four-wheeled carriages, which could also be sold in supermarkets.
There are really a lot of rich people in this Kaifeng city.
"We've made a lot of money this time! Let's set up a table to celebrate these two days! Zhu Shaochen said.
Immediately, everyone was interested.
"Uncle, let's build some more shops on the land outside the Song Gate, and the rent will be calculated directly according to the most prosperous area in the city. In this way, whether you open a tavern or an inn, you will have to pay the rent on time for us. Just those few shops, we only rent and don't sell! If you want to do business, you have to pay rent. ”
Zhu Shaochen suddenly thought that the land at the door had also started construction. When he gets up in this business district, the rent he collects is even more considerable.
Zhu Shaochen remembered that there was still a public security problem, so he looked at Murong Shanshan again, "Shanshan, in terms of security, I'm afraid you will need more people in the dart bureau." The security of the shops around us must be dealt with, so that it is worthy of the rent of other merchants. I think we can set up a 'property company' to manage this. ”
Murong Shanshan heard this, and also nodded hurriedly. Say you can do it.
"Is Zhu Lunchang here?" Zhu Shaochen thought about it.
"The subordinates are here! What does Your Highness command? ”
Zhu Lunchang hurriedly stood at the front of the team. He had been hiding behind before, and he always felt ashamed of Zhu Shaochen in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shaochen still recognized him.
"You go and book a carriage with Lu Jiao'er, and from next month, the nearby states and counties will also be able to connect to our four-wheeled carriage. There is one flight in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the fee is calculated according to the algorithm of more than one penny for five miles, and you calculate it yourself according to this algorithm and mileage. ”
"This car can be used to take passengers on the way back and forth, but the final parking position must be in our 'Wo Fengyuan'. You have chosen the candidate for driving, and report it directly to the shopkeeper Wang. ”
Zhu Shaochen thought of the small minibus he often took when he was a child, and he couldn't ignore this market.
It's the same thing, you have to deliver it to your own supermarket.
In this way, the flow of people in their business district can become larger and larger, and it will become the city center of Kaifeng!
Hey! Why is this line so familiar!
"Your Highness, what if the carriage breaks down on the road." Zhu Lunchang asked.
According to his experience of running a carriage in Kaifeng City in the past few days, he immediately thought of this.
"Have a spare wheel and repair kits on every car. Specifically, you ask Lu Jiao'er to help prepare, and the person in charge of driving it must also learn how to repair it as soon as possible. There is also a place dedicated to the maintenance of lengthened four-wheeled vehicles in our 'Wofengyuan'. ”
Zhu Shaochen has been giving instructions like this.
It's late at night.
"That's all for today, let's all go back and rest early." Zhu Shaochen said.
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to be able to enter the palace anymore.
Wang Wencai saw that it was late at night, and originally wanted Zhu Shaochen to go to his house to rest for one night.
But seeing that there was still Murong Shanshan next to Zhu Shaochen, he quietly left without saying hello to Zhu Shaochen.
Murong Shanshan suddenly saw that it was late at night, and there were only three of them left in the hall.
Murong Shanshan and Jia Ru also have Zhu Shaochen.
Zhu Shaochen thought about it, and cheekily asked Murong Shanshan, "Do you have many guest rooms?" ”
"Jia Ru can come, you can't." Murong Shanshan said. "You'd better go to the guest house honestly!"
After saying that, Murong Shanshan pulled Jia Ru and ran away, and there was a big carriage waiting in front of their Murong house in foreign trade.
Zhu Shaochen was suddenly left alone in the hall.
Although he knew that when he went out of the door, there would definitely be a car waiting for him at the door, but Zhu Shaochen was also melancholy, this is the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time that he will not return overnight!
When I went out, sure enough, Zhu Lunchang was still waiting at the door. This man is faithful.
"Your Highness, where are you going to sleep tonight?" Zhu Lunchang asked.
This is really urgent, the reason why adults are in a hurry!
"Miss Murong of the Central Plains Dart Bureau can say that she won't let you go."
This Murong Shanshan, is it necessary to do this! This deliberately doesn't give yourself face!
"I'm X, then let's find an inn!" Zhu Shaochen was so depressed that he waved his hand at Zhu Lunchang and said.
