Chapter 31: Building a Workshop
"Xianggong~, it's up to you to make up your mind about this matter." Liu Xiangchen didn't answer them, turned his head to look at Chu Yun and said slowly. There is something about the rock sugar gourd, Chu Yun has been doing it from beginning to end, and Liu Xiangzhen has never asked, so at this time, he naturally will not make a decision for him.
Chu Yun actually had a rough idea of the intentions of these uncles and uncles last night. Chu's rock sugar gourd, in the city of Sujiang Mansion, is probably equivalent to the "old Beijing rock sugar gourd" in later generations, it is a time-honored brand with guaranteed quality, and what they played is nothing more than the idea of this signboard.
Looking back at the two of them, a smile appeared on his face, "Fifth Uncle... Uncle Nine, right? "Hey~~。。。。。" The two of them knew in their hearts that whether they could succeed today depended on the scholar in front of them, so they hurriedly responded, and the smile on their faces became even kinder.
Chu Yun hesitated, showed a thoughtful look, and said, "It's not impossible for you to sell rock sugar gourds under the banner of the Chu family, but it's just 。。。。。。 "But what?" The two of them immediately asked. "It's just that you can only join in." Chu Yun looked at them and said.
"Franchise?。。。。 What is Franchise? After the two glanced at each other, they looked at Chu Yun in confusion and asked, even a trace of doubt appeared in Liu Xiangji's beautiful eyes, and she obviously heard this word for the first time.
"The meaning of joining is very simple, that is, we can agree that you sell rock sugar gourds under the banner of the Chu family, but we will take fifty percent of the daily profits." Chu Yun looked at them and said.
The banner of Chu's rock sugar gourd is not so easy to play, it is not realistic for them to pay a huge franchise fee first, and it is also to play the piano to explain to them the concept of joining in later generations, so they can only use this simple and crude method. "Fifty percent!" The two of them exclaimed at the same time, this number is really a bit unbearable for them. Half of the hard-earned money has to be divided by others, and no one wants to change it.
"Uncle, fifty percent, this is a bit too much, right?" The fifth uncle of the Liu family looked at Chu Yun and asked with some difficulty. Chu Yun smiled and said nothing, saying that there was no room for negotiation in this matter. has bullied my wife for so many years, and it is time to pay back some interest. "Let's think about this matter again." The fifth uncle of the Liu family looked at Chu Yun and said.
Chu Yun smiled and watched the two walk outside the door, waiting patiently. Moments later, the two walked in again. After thinking about it, the fifth uncle said: "Fifty percent, it's really a bit much, let's go back and think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”
Half of the profits to others, he is obviously extremely reluctant, after the two just discussed, after going back, they will unite with other direct clansmen, to exert pressure on them, if you can avoid this franchise fee is naturally the best, if not, reduce to half of it, it is not impossible to consider. With that, they turned and walked out the door.
"Xiangzhen, uncle, if you don't have your consent, I won't be able to earn fifty percent, fifty percent will be fifty percent, I agree~." The fifth uncle of the Liu family had just stepped out of the door with one foot, and the familiar voice of Lao Jiu came from behind him. "Bang~!" Uncle Liu stumbled on the threshold with one foot, and his body flew half a foot away, landing heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Huh~~~! Fifth Master Liu, why do you want to make this big gift? Not far in front of him, Lao Chen stood there, looking at the scene in front of him, and said with a stunned expression.
Fifth Uncle Liu walked fast and came back quickly. The fall on the threshold seemed to make him figure it out, and he got up and patted the dust on his body casually, and readily agreed, he had already thought about it, and he was willing to pay for the fifty percent of the "franchise" fee.
Of course, how the other party secretly scolded Lao Jiu, a treacherous pig teammate, in his heart was not Chu Yun's concern. The business of rock sugar gourd is not big, nor is it small, Lao Chen has more important things to do, so naturally they can't always spend on this. There is an urgent shortage of manpower, which is the primary problem that needs to be faced if you want to expand Chu's rock sugar gourd business.
The demand for Chu's rock sugar gourd in Sujiang Mansion is far from saturated, and there is still a lot of profit to be made.
Of course, it is impossible for Chu Yun to give this part of the profits to the Liu family directly related to them in vain, and it is not impossible for them to interfere, but if they don't peel off a few layers of skin from them, how can they be worthy of the "care" that these people have taken care of their own ladies over the years?
"Uncle, do you really plan to let them do the business of rock sugar gourds?" Lao Chen walked in from outside, looked at Chu Yun, and asked with a puzzled expression. For Lao Chen, this is the only money-making business at present, and he is naturally unwilling to let the direct people take advantage of it in vain.
He has witnessed with his own eyes how these people have treated the big bosses in the past few years, not to mention five percent, Lao Chen doesn't even want to give them one percent of the profits. "Lao Chen, if you have a long-term perspective, you should think that they are making money for us." For a fool like Lao Chen, who only focuses on immediate interests, Chu Yun can only explain to him in a different way.
Although Lao Chen's brain is always not easy to turn around, his IQ is probably still within the range of a normal person, and when he heard Chu Yun say this, he also understood a little, just let them borrow the name of Chu's rock sugar gourd, and they can get fifty percent of the profit for nothing, so thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a loss.
Thinking of this, Lao Chen's face showed his signature smile again. Looking at the silly smile on Lao Chen's face, Chu Yun showed a smile on his face and said, "Okay, don't smirk, come in quickly, I just have something to explain to you." ”
For some reason, seeing the smile on Chu Yun's face, Lao Chen's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Half an hour later, Lao Chen walked out of the courtyard with a sad face, looked back at the house, and sighed leisurely.
Uncle actually handed over the matter of building the workshop to himself, and to complete it within five days, this matter is done without any reward, it is not good, deduct his rock sugar gourd half a month's dividend, I don't want to pick up this hot potato, but who told my uncle to trust himself, hey~~ Forget it, sooner or later, there will be a knife, this time, or happily next, all the way back with a sigh of lamentation.
The construction of the workshop is just handed over to Lao Chen, these men are all multi-faceted little experts, farming and herding horses, building walls and fighting, proficient in everything, except for some things that need to be explained in advance, there is no need for Chu Yun to worry about it. Regarding the location of the workshop, after some investigation by Chu Yun and Lao Chen, it was also roughly decided.
Why did Chu Yun build a workshop, it was because when he drew the lottery yesterday, he drew the method of making toilet water, Chu Yun suddenly had a hot head, this thing is a good project to make a lot of money. After saying that, Chu Yun also has to think about himself, because as the autumn mood gets stronger, this time, at night, mosquitoes become more rampant. For the current body with a special physique, every night is the most tormenting time for Chu Yun.
Bezoar, mint, honeysuckle, spices, Lao Chen also bought several large jars of liquor from Sujiang Mansion City, looking at the pile of things in front of him, Chu Yun counted them, and then nodded, Lao Chen was very reliable, and he didn't miss any of the things he was asked to buy. Of course, Chu Yun's current toilet water is not the kind in his previous life, and his current technology can't do it.
Now that the business of rock sugar gourd is on the right track, Lao Chen and a few of them can handle it, and Chu Yun doesn't need to worry about it anymore, and he finally has time to solve the biggest problem that is bothering him at the moment. It's also thanks to my good luck that I got this thing, otherwise there really wouldn't be a way.
After considering the safety and confidentiality of the toilet water, of course, the workshop could not be built in the stockade. Distillation purification is indispensable for open flames, alcohol and flammable materials, if something happens to the village, the excitement will be great.
Of course, secrecy also accounts for a large part of the reason. Whether it is the production of toilet water or the distillation of alcohol, there is not much technical difficulty, once the secrecy is not done well, someone steals it and spreads it, then naturally don't think about making money with this thing.
After considering many factors such as transportation and water sources, Chu Yun finally chose the address of the workshop outside the village, near a certain stream in the back mountain. The stream is not small, but it has not had a flash flood for decades, and it is easy to get water and extremely safe. Chu Yun handed over the drawings to Lao Chen, and he only needed to look at them every day, and he didn't have to worry about other things.
After a few years of graphic design, drawing is a simple thing for Chu Yun. The drawings of the workshop were drawn by Chu Yun in imitation of the workshops of later generations, and according to the actual situation, only some minor changes were made. A few drawings, with planes and three-dimensional, simple lines, will express the structure of the workshop clearly, at a glance, Lao Chen They only need to build it as it is.
Of course, before that, I had to rent a shop in Sujiang Mansion City, and I originally just planned to rent an ordinary shop, but after winning the jade pendant of Shen Yu yesterday and having more than three hundred taels of liquidity, the plan will be changed. More than 300 taels of silver, even if you rent a shop with a better location in a prosperous area, it is enough.
The business of rock sugar gourd, I don't know how many people are staring at it in the whole village, the Liu family's direct family was not easy to open up before, of course, they also knew that even if they opened their mouths, Lao Chen and those people would definitely not agree, but the success of Lao Wu and Lao Jiu made their eyes wide.
Just by handing over two land deeds, they can sell rock sugar gourds under the banner of the Chu family, although the fifty percent "franchise fee" makes them feel pain in their hearts when they think about it, but as long as they can make the business of rock sugar gourds, even if they hand over fifty percent of the profits, they can live a life that is many times better than now. This account, no matter how you calculate it, is cost-effective.
