Zhang Ziyun frowned and said worriedly: "The remaining 1.6 million taels of silver can last for a few months?" ”

Wang Pengyuan said nonchalantly: "We still have eight million taels of silver, 200,000 tons of grain and 5,000 tons of salt reserves, what are we afraid of?" ”

"W-where did all this come from?" Zhang Ziyun's eyes widened and said, Wang Yue's wealth has no bottom line.

Wang Pengyuan laughed and said: "Where did Sihua get it, I don't know, I just have to receive and distribute." ”

He never asked the reason for how Wang Yue got the materials, but he sorted them out in an orderly manner, so Wang Yue cooperated with him very happily.

It can be said that he is also one of the insiders, because all the materials in the starting point city basically came through his hands.

Zhang Ziyun thought hatefully, as his wife, the secret of that dead guy is still unknown, which is really unforgivable.

Wang Pengyuan continued: "Sihua said that we must rely on these coins to balance the income and expenditure, and we must be able to make a profit, so we have thought of a lot of ways. Recently, we have recovered 140,000 taels from the first phase of the residential building sales, and the second, third and fourth phases of sales have begun, and we expect that the sales of the house can recover some of the funds, but these will be calculated on an annual basis. ”

"The canteen we run is not free now, but through the sale of food, the income from the canteen, plus the sales of the store in the starting point city, can earn more than 50,000 taels a month. The shops in the starting point city are about to be rented out, and Sihua and I calculated that the rent for a year is at least one million taels, and the rent in our starting point city is at least three times more expensive than the best location in Beijing. ”

Guo Yanchang added next to him: "In the future, when we do business on the ground of our starting point city, we must pay a management fee of 50% of the turnover. ”

This is Wang Yue's practice of collecting commercial taxes in disguise.

Zhang Ziyun asked: "With such a high rent and so many management fees, will anyone come to rent a shop?" ”

Wang Pengyuan said with a smile: "Second Miss, our rent is already very cheap, you must know that the income of our workers is almost ten times that of Jingshi, what is this?" ”

Guo Yanchang also said: "Recently, some people have been inquiring about buying land and building a shop in the starting point city. However, what Lord Wang meant was that not an inch of land in the city would be sold, and that the land outside the city would be bought in the future, and it would only be sold for a lease period of 50 years, not property rights. ”

In the future, Wang Yue, who came over as a modern person, is very clear about the real estate prospects centered on the starting point city, so some major areas still have to be retained for development.

Zhang Ziyun calculated the accounts and asked Wang Pengyuan: "It seems that there is still a gap of four or five hundred thousand taels every month!" ”

Although she came from a large family, these numbers are astronomical.

"It doesn't matter, Uncle Li's trading company will be able to level this number soon, and it may still be profitable."

Wang Pengyuan knew everything about how many supplies there were in the starting point city, so he didn't feel any pressure at all.

"We pay our salaries in silver rolls. All the goods we sell ourselves can only pay for silver round rolls, which can be freely exchanged with silver and are easy to carry. ”

"That's why a lot of people keep the silver rolls in their hands, especially since there are more silver rolls in the army. According to our statistics, the number of silver rolls that are now in the hands of the people has reached 800,000 taels, and it is still rising month by month. ”

"So we don't have to pay as much cash as we think. According to the exchange method of the silver round scroll designed by Sihua, I made an estimate that we may need to spend less and less cash in the future. ”

The silver coins in the starting point city are deducted from the fire consumption of silver round rolls, and the other silver taels are exchanged for silver round rolls by five percentage points, and the silver round rolls are exchanged for any silver taels of silver without fire consumption, that is, one tael is exchanged for one tael.

People living within the boundaries of the starting point city are inseparable from the silver round scroll, and it will become a trend to replace other currencies in this area.

Zhang Ziyun knows very little about Da Ming Law and finance, and he doesn't see anything wrong with it now.

"That is to say, it is very likely that one day, we will only have to pay for the silver rolls, and we will not need any silver?" Although she doesn't understand finance, after thinking about so many conditions, Zhang Ziyun came to such a conclusion, which surprised her.

Wang Pengyuan said with a smile: "The scope of our starting point city is still too small, to reach this point, unless the world is included, it will be almost the same as operating for a few more years." ”

"Because some of the families are outside the starting city, they go back to bring cash back to subsidize their families. However, most of the people were very clever, and when they returned, they used silver rolls to buy grain and salt. The quality of our food is good, the salt is even better, there is nothing to say, and the price is fair. ”

After Zhang Ziyun's in-depth understanding of government affairs, he already knew that the starting point city was about to reach a balance of payments, and the capital flow was huge, and the annual expenditure had exceeded that of the imperial court. The number of workers working for the city has reached hundreds of thousands, and the number continues to grow. Wang Yue owns a huge amount of land and can be called the first landlord in the world. There are many construction projects in the starting point city, spanning several counties in Beijing.

To calculate how much wealth Wang Yue has, even Wang Pengyuan can't count an accurate number. He didn't count these things, because Wang Yue had countless supplies arriving almost every day, and he needed to receive and distribute them.

Zhang Ziyun was shocked, and then looked at the list of materials in Shijingshan Industrial Zone that Wang Pengyuan took out, although he couldn't understand many things, he still knew that this was a huge amount of wealth.

Now I know how strong Wang Yue's financial resources are, such a terrifying wealth has swelled up in a few months, maybe except for Chongzhen, who is nominally the whole world, the richest in the Wang family. And the financial situation of the lord of the world is unbearable to look at.

After the Dingguo Mansion sent Xu Desheng, the chief treasurer of the mansion to manage the shops, he immediately fell in love with the radiators and boilers, as well as washing powder, sulfur soap, kerosene lamps and kerosene lighters. Originally, he wanted to operate a few more, but Wang Yue shirked it, saying that you will run it first, and there will be more and more new products for us.

Xu Desheng happily returned to the Dingguo Mansion and reported the harvest to Xu Yunzhen.

"Grandpa Guo, what do you think of this lighter?" Xu Desheng demonstrated to Xu Yunzhen.

"Well, it's a good thing indeed! How much is this thing worth? Xu Yunzhen immediately discovered the commercial value of lighters.

Xu Desheng said: "The lighter is two dollars and five cents of silver, and we can sell it for five dollars." Look at this again! ”

He took off the kerosene lamp cover, lit it with a lighter, and said, "This is called a kerosene lamp, and it can adjust the size of the flame." ”

"This should be precious, right?" The lampshade is glass, and Xu Yunzhen guesses that it is worth a lot of money.

"It's not expensive, just two taels of silver!" Xu Desheng stretched out two fingers and said.

Xu Yunzhen was surprised: "This is glass, only two taels?" ”
