After a long absence, he was newlywed, and when he returned home, of course, his wife and concubine were indescribably gentle and lovely.

You and I are all in a word, and even Zheng Xiu'e, the eldest woman from a famous family, is much more enthusiastic and active.

A few days after Chu Chu returned from a two-month business trip, she completed the investment of more than 200 duck blood vermicelli stores, and her face was full of excitement.

Duck blood vermicelli is cheap and good, most of the residents who live in the city can afford it, because of the good taste, not only can satisfy cravings, but also can fill the stomach, is sought after, it is estimated that it will be able to recoup the investment in store and decoration in three months.

In fact, those investments are not as good as those of later generations, and they don't cost much money, the main reason is that Daming has no conscience to speculate on real estate, and the house price is basically the cost price, not inflated.

In the capital of Daming Prefecture and the county seat, buy a small shop of thirty or forty square meters along the street, and then clean up and buy furniture, an average of thirty or fifty taels of silver is enough, the house in the capital is more expensive, one fifty or sixty taels is enough, and there are about four or five women working in such a small shop.

One of them is the store manager's monthly salary of five yuan of silver, and the rest of the women are eight yuan of silver a month, and all of them are in charge of food and housing, and every month they will be rewarded with an additional 100 to 400 yuan according to their income and work performance.

The store manager's reward is distributed by the head office, and the benefits are better than even higher than the monthly reward, and there is a head office in one of the eleven small stores, and the store manager of the head office is a flag guard nine times out of ten.

Don't worry about someone having a bad idea in the duck blood vermicelli shop, the small cart of roasted sweet potatoes, the small shop of fried potato chips, and the dart master of Sifang Express will help each other, and the flag guard will also secretly protect all the "Red Flag Army" industries.

Seeing that Chu Chu understood his own meaning, when selling a new food to Daming, he did not pursue huge profits at the grassroots level, so that the people could afford to consume, Huang Han was very happy.

Only the high-yield crops planted can be marketable, farmers can be profitable, hundreds of years or thousands of years of traditional food is not so easy to change, sweet potato, potato, vermicelli, vermicelli should be vigorously promoted to strive for more people to be familiar with and accept.

Seeing Chuchu's investment in operating a duck blood vermicelli shop won praise from her husband, Zheng Xiu'e was also eager to try, she used to help her mother's housekeeper at home, and she was proficient in mental arithmetic and abacus, and she also knew how to keep accounts and check accounts.

She reported to Huang Han on the operation of Huang's industry this year, and the "Red Flag Army" system has been fruitful this year, not only looting a lot of wealth through war, but also making a lot of profits in the real industry.

The fist products are steel products, Huang's plowshares, horseshoe, hoes, building materials, etc. sell well in the north and south of the Yellow River has developed to the north and south of the Yangtze River, and iron materials have become sought-after goods, and the market is in short supply.

This is entirely due to the fact that Huang Han considered the added value, so the steel produced was refined as much as possible into products for export, which increased profits, increased employment opportunities within the system, and trained industrial workers.

Raw materials will only be exported when there is a surplus in steel production, so many Jiangnan businessmen are looking for a way to wait for the steel sales ration, because Huang's steel is stable and cost-effective, and has a reputation, and blacksmiths are willing to use it.

Zheng Xiu'e is the head of the house, and Huang's Steel will have a monthly report for her to review every month.

Huang Han had long known that the army and the factories had to separate the accounts, so the birds, flintlock pistols, artillery, armor, etc. used by the army were settled with the steel mills, and the profits were also left for the steel mills.

However, Huang's Iron and Steel only provided the "Red Flag Army" with products with a gross profit margin of only 10 percent, and in the future, the profits of exporting weapons, armor, and firearms would be less than doubled or even several times or more than ten times.

The sales of farm tools and daily necessities Huang's products did not seek huge profits, and the gross profit margin was between 30% and 50%, and such pricing was absolutely competitive in the market.

Huang's cement, porcelain, pottery, bricks and tiles have opened up sales channels and have good profitability and great potential for sustainable development, and honeycomb coal furnaces have become popular in Gyeonggi this year, driving the honeycomb coal industry, and Kaiping's high-quality coal has been continuously sent to the capital and nearby towns.

The business of liquor, vermicelli, vermicelli, flour, canned sea fish, and seafood is also booming, coupled with the encouragement of the development of aquaculture industry within the system, there are now many professional farming households, and the supply of food is developing towards a diversified trend.

The profit of the Huang family industry in Chongzhen's four years excluding the profit of Sifang Express is as much as 500,000 taels of silver, but there is no balance of one tael of silver, and it has to subsidize 200,000 taels.

This is because Huang Han wanted to build an advanced warship of the old lock ship type, and he had to be equipped with a large number of artillery, because the master craftsmen had built a number of old lock ships of 300 to 500 tons, and accumulated a lot of experience.

Due to the rapid development of forging keel technology, the old lock ships under construction have increased their tonnage, and a warship with a displacement of seven or eight hundred tons has been successfully launched and fully loaded with a cost of 50,000 taels of silver, and there are as many as 20 such warships under construction.

There are large sea ships under construction in several docks in Tiger's Den City, and the severe cold can't stop the enthusiasm of hundreds of shipbuilders at all, and the Huang family will not treat everyone badly, and a large number of honeycomb coal stoves are used in the cabin to provide heating.

It is impossible to work outdoors in the cold winter, and the masters are very smart, and the frame of the big ship under construction has been built before the severe cold, and now they are basically working in the cabin and below the deck, and the honeycomb coal stove can keep the temperature of the craftsmen working at more than ten degrees.

There are also dozens of cargo ships with a displacement of about 500 tons, merchant ships under construction or just in operation, and the cost of each ship is between 10,000 and 15,000 taels of silver.

At present, the profits of shipping and maritime trade are a drop in the bucket compared with such a large investment, and if you want to make huge profits at sea, you have to accumulate a certain amount of strength to rob pirates.

Zheng Xiu'e, who is in charge of finance, knows that the Huang family's business is big and profitable, but it has to invest more money, and it is impossible to maintain the balance of payments by relying on the current profits.

She had a long talk with Huang Han many times, revealing that she wanted to earn military salaries for the "Red Flag Army" and received support, and that night, Huang Han was thinking about how to make money, and his eyes fell on the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in Beijing.

Facing the common people can not make huge profits, Huang Han is now in a high position and has strong capital, it is time to make some changes, this time to play high-end, to earn the silver of the richest group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

Next, Huang Han talked to his wife, concubine and eldest maid about his plan for three nights in a row, and asked them to go to Beijing to prepare to buy land in the first month, and strive to spend eight months to build a three- or four-story group of buildings.

It should become a high-end leisure club, covering the functions of sauna, small stage, billiard room, restaurant and tea house, where there are people playing and singing, acting, and commenting on books all day long, and the temperature must be kept above 20 degrees in the cold winter.
