Chapter 396: Year-end inventory

Zhao Zizhong and his brothers persuaded him for a long time, but Mrs. Cui was unusually firm and insisted on donating a large sum of money to the academy.

In the end, the brothers had to compromise and accept a piece of the old lady's heart.

After visiting the college, everyone was very satisfied with the facilities here.

Cao Deshun immediately stated that he would continue to recruit scholars from poor families to study in the academy in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Wang Mingjun is also preparing to recruit scholars in the Jinghu area after he returns.

After the opening of the academy, the entire Qishan Island began to be busy, preparing for the group wedding on the 16th day of the lunar month.

Cui Daoshu led the staff of the Ministry of Commerce to start the year-end inventory activities, and they were busy every day.

Later, Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun brought housekeepers and bookkeepers also joined in.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, the results of the year-end inventory came out, and Zhao Zizhong convened a meeting of the top management of Seven Seas Company. In the evening, the conference room was packed, with about forty people in attendance.

Cui Daoshu first began to make a report, he cleared his throat, rubbed the dark circles under his eyes, and said: "Everyone, let me start with a number, don't be surprised. This year's total revenue for Seven Seas is ~~~~"

Cui Daoshu paused and glanced around the conference room to see everyone's reactions.

He saw many people holding their breath and waiting for him to announce the results. Others craned their necks to look at themselves.

Du Dalei shouted: "Old Seven, hurry up, don't hang everyone's appetite." ”

Cui Daoshu smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll announce it right away." This year's total revenue is 4.67 million yuan! I won't talk about the odds. ”

"Ah~~~~~~~~h

Someone else hugged his companion next to him and shouted, "You pinch me, I'm not dreaming, right?" ”

Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun glanced at each other, and both of them were very surprised by this number.

The conference room suddenly boiled, and the rough billets of several escorts and the stewards in the workshop were all making loud noises.

Zhao Zizhong stood up and yelled: "Shut up!" Calm down or get out! ”

The rough billets of the escort immediately became honest and sat down obediently.

Liang Daguan asked, "Brother Cui Xian, this number is not wrong, right?" So much? ”

Cui Daoshu nodded proudly: "It's definitely right, we have calculated it five times repeatedly." ”

Na Zhe stammered a little and said, "Old Seven, really, really more than four million guan?" ”

"Yes, third brother, you heard it right."

Du Dalei hugged Na Zhe's neck and said: "Little Master, calm down, calm down, it's useless for you to be excited, anyway, there will be no dividends this year." Even the dividends have nothing to do with you, as soon as your money arrives, it will be handed over to Fang Juniang and Qin Wanlan. You're still a poor bastard, hahaha! ”

Na Zhe immediately sneered: "You are not much better than me, you are such a soft bone, as soon as the money is in hand, it will be handed over to Fu Hongyu immediately." Let's not bury anyone. ”

Zhao Zizhong glared at the two second-handers: "Shut up, let's have a meeting now, and I'll talk about it after the meeting." ”

The two second goods were immediately honest, and they all sat down stupidly.

Cui Daoshu saw that the conference room was quiet, so he continued: "Although we have earned more than four million yuan, our expenses are also very huge. In order to collect displaced people and feed them, we have spent more than 3 million yuan this year. Now we have less than 900,000 yuan left on our books. ”

Zhao Zizhong stood up, walked to Cui Daoshu's side, and then said loudly: "I have decided, leave 200,000 yuan untouched, as a year-end bonus for everyone, as well as the expenses of the New Year." The other 700,000 guan was spent as a development flow, as well as the cost of continuing to collect the displaced people. ”

The people in the conference room are very happy, 200,000 yuan! Seven Seas now controls just over 10,000 people. Those homeless people don't need to be paid, just give them food and clothing.

Only Seven Seas employees are entitled to a certain amount of bonuses. Many people begin to figure out in their hearts how much money they will get.

Zhao Zi saw that everyone had no intention of having a meeting, so he announced the end of the meeting and let these guys go back to YY.

Zhao Zizhong left behind several shareholders of Seven Seas, seven of their brothers plus Cao Deshun, Wang Mingjun and Liang Daguanren. Monk Taiqin also attended the meeting.

Na Zhe spoke first: "Everyone, Lao Qi has been doing a year-end inventory in the past few days, and I have finalized the goods of weapons exchanged with the Southern Tang Dynasty with Cui Zhaorong, the list is as follows, let's take a look." ”

The brothers all passed through the list of supplies one by one, and everyone had no objections.

Cao Deshun took it and took a look: "Sizzle~~~~~ you guys really made a lot of money!" 1,000 steel knives, 3,000 spearheads, 500 bows and crossbows of all kinds, and 50 bed crossbows. Burn ~ burn ~ 300 shells, 10 ballistas. That's too much, right? We're not going to lose money, are we? ”

Wei Hongye explained: "Lao Cao, we will not lose money, but we will make a lot of money. ”

Liang Daguan asked, "Can we still make money?" Isn't this a loss-making deal? How much does a 100-for-steel knife cost? You've sent a thousand at once! ”

Wei Hongye explained: "Liang Daguan, this is the power of new technology. Our smelting and forging technology is very advanced, and it takes no effort to produce a 100-for-steel knife. Moreover, we have now used a water conservancy forging press, which saves time and effort to forge billets. We produce a hundred steel knives, which can save more than ten times more than the backward production technology on the mainland. ”

Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun were a little puzzled, was what Wei Hongye said true? Can they really produce a hundred steel knives so easily?

Wei Hongye saw that the three of them didn't believe it, so he said happily: "If the three don't believe it, let's go to the ironmaking workshop tomorrow." Then you will believe. ”

Boris said: "We give Nantang a little more weapons this time, just to give them a little sweetness. Let the Southern Tang Dynasty court feel that trading with us is a profitable business. In this way, our deal with Nantang can continue for a long time. ”

Zhao Zizhong also said: "Everyone, if we can obtain the iron ore and coal and other raw materials that Nantang has continuously provided, and then establish a coal-iron complex in Liuqiu, we will be able to produce a large number of steel and various weapons. With our advanced technology, we will sweep the surrounding steel and weapons markets, and no one can compete with us! ”

Cao Deshun, Wang Mingjun, and Liang Daguan are all very excited, it seems that choosing these seven brothers as partners is a very correct choice! With their Seven Seas Company's terrifying production of steel and weapons, no force in this region and sea can compete with Seven Seas!

Tai Qin interjected: "Master Zhao, you still let you discuss the matter of going to Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty after a while." ”

Zhao Zizhong obviously communicated with Du Dalei and Taiqin in advance, he looked at Du Dalei with a hippie smile, and then sighed: "Xiao Du, I made the decision to let you go to Bianliang, and I don't know if it's right or wrong!" ”

Du Dalei said indifferently: "Boss, it's okay." I'm sure I'm not in any danger. ”

Tai Qin also said: "Lord Zhao, Lord Du Shi's northward journey this time must be smooth sailing, and the Sprinkle family can guarantee it." I'll go with him. ”

Na Zhe hurriedly asked, "Boss, did you let Lao Du go to Bianliang?" Why don't you let me go? I'd like to see it too? That's the capital of the Great Song Dynasty! A city of dreams! Now the largest city in the world! I'm going, I'm going to go! ”

Zhao Zizhong shook his head: "Then Zhe, I won't let you go this time." ”

Na Zhe was anxious: "Why? Lao Du can go, why can't I? Do you give a reason? ”

Zhao Zi was a little excited when he saw Na Zhe again, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Na Zhe, last time you were assassinated in Jinling, you almost lost your life." No matter what, I won't let you go to Bianliang this time. ”

"That's why?"

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Isn't this enough?" This time, Da Lei is going to explore the way, and it's useless to go to more people. ”

Na Zhe asked again: "Then why did you let Lao Du go?" He's an unreliable guy! What if he commits a second mistake in Bianliang? Who is going to save him? Why don't you let the seventh go? ”

Zhao Zizhong explained: "Na Zhe, I have thought about it repeatedly, this time I went to the Great Song Dynasty, mainly to get in touch with Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin is a military general, and Da Lei's temperament is very similar to Zhao Da, I think they should be able to talk together. Lao Qi and you are too elegant, so I let you deal with Li Yu. It is estimated that it is more appropriate to deal with Zhao Kuangyin, or Da Lei. ”

Du Dalei said beside him: "Little Master, you can stay at home honestly." Take good care of your mother-in-law, and when I come back from Bianliang, I will bring you gifts. ”

Na Zhe said unhappily: "Who is a rare gift?" You poor devil, your pockets are cleaner than your face, what gift can you buy me? ”

Du Dalei was in a good mood today, so he didn't pay attention to Na Zhe.

Cao Deshun asked, "Mr. Zhao, if Da Lei and Master Taiqin go to Bianliang, what do you need us to do?" ”

Zhao Zizhong asked, "Mr. Cao, do you have any shops in Bianliang?" ”

Cao Deshun nodded: "Yes, Brother Wang and I have shops in Bianliang." ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "Da Lei and Master Taiqin will take a caravan to Bianliang, so you can arrange a place for them to stay." ”

Cao Deshun said: "No problem, I will send a few stewards and men to go with me, and let them arrange it when the time comes." ”

Wang Mingjun also said: "I will also send someone to go, our family has a village outside Bianliang City, and dozens of people can be arranged." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Then thank you two, Boris, how many people are you going to arrange for your staff to go to Bianliang?" Is the defense plan ready? ”

Boris said: "Our side is going to send four squads of elite soldiers to Bianliang, and three other scouts will follow. ”
