Chapter 424 How many ladies and ladies are there in the capital?
In the past, this may have been a question, but now Zhang San can roughly estimate that there are about 20,000 ladies and ladies in the capital, and if a small bottle of perfume is used every day, it can be used for about a month, and 20,000 people need 20,000 bottles, that is, an income of 20,000 yuan.
But the income of perfume is far more than that, the things used by the ladies and ladies are fashion, so that there will be people among the common people who are willing to spend money to buy, although there is always a lot of money, but the average Beijing family can still get it, these people may not be able to use it every day, but it is still okay to use it when occasionally going out or meeting guests.
These people can use up 50,000 or 60,000 bottles a month, and the fashion in Beijing has always been the target of the whole country to catch up, so the sales of perfume are not only 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, but also more than 300,000 bottles a month because of the production system.
There is still some room for growth in this income, and there is a larger international market to open up after the domestic market is occupied, so Zhang San expects that just the perfume business can provide Zhang San with more than one million yuan in cash a month.
Nowadays, the sales of perfume are controlled by the production volume, but the production of perfume is indeed controlled by the production of flowers, and the area around Tokyo is not suitable for large-scale development of flower fields, and the flowering period is also limited by the season, so Zhang San now has to consider a new perfume production base.
Ryukyu is the best choice, the reason why the workshop was not moved to Ryukyu is that although Ryukyu has the conditions for planting flowers, but there are no conditions for large-scale winemaking, and the food is not enough, how dare Zhang San use it to make wine.
However, Zhang San feels that the situation should change after next year, not only the grain planting area of Ryukyu will expand, but also after the large-scale planting of sugarcane and sugar extraction in Ryukyu, bagasse can make wine, and with the current technology sugarcane sugar extraction will definitely leave more sugar, and the wine yield should be very considerable.
The sugarcane planted by Zhang San this year can be harvested by next autumn, and then the Ryukyus will be able to make wine, and the problem of raw materials for perfume will be solved.
Zhang San immediately wrote down this matter and arranged for Gongsun Sheng to 'recruit' some florists and flower farmers to go to Ryukyu to open up flower fields, there are still many such people in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Suzhou, Suzhou gardens are the best in the world. Plant the flowers first, and you don't have to worry about the flowers next year.
Then Zhang San told Qian Jin about the zoning adjustment plan of the business, and Qian Jin had no opinion, after all, the manpower was sometimes poor, and he just wanted to grasp the business of the whole country, and he didn't have the ability, and Zhang San did this in his opinion, which was also convenient for management.
Zhang San also asked him for his opinion on the candidate for the district supervisor, after all, Qian Jin has fully proved his talent this year, Zhang San also wants to hear his opinion, and Zhang San just wants to grasp the following general directions in business.
Not long after the money came in, Li Si came back, Li Si was mainly responsible for production, and there was nothing to report, mainly because the paper mill, brewery and printing factory began to face poaching from others.
Although Zhang San has always paid attention to secrecy and the salary is very sufficient, it is inevitable that some people will rebel for the benefits of others, and these things are not high-tech, as long as a few more people are dug up to ponder and ponder, it is easy to copy the production line.
Zhang San has been prepared for this, so he doesn't mind, papermaking needless to say, even if Zhang San is fully producing, it is only enough for his own use, Zhang San also has a book popularization plan, as well as Buddhist scriptures and Confucian classics to sell all over the world, and many other people do not have enough paper to use.
There are other kinds of paper, such as toilet paper, high-grade rice paper, etc., which do not have time to make, so it has no effect on others to learn it, but they can learn the production process, but it still takes a long time to make the same paper as Zhang San.
The first is the proportion of ingredients in the pulping process, which is only mastered by a few masters, and the batching workers only know their own crushing tasks, and the specific pulp blending is specially responsible, so it will take several months to figure it out.
There are also bleaching raw materials, and fiber softening materials, these are Zhang San's secrets, and there are special people who have configured them and transported them to the paper mill, and even the people in the workshop don't know what they are, so it's more difficult to figure it out.
The process of printing is the same way, movable type printing is four words, and smart people can come up with an approximate process just by relying on these four words, but if you want to reach the level of Zhang San, it will be difficult.
For example, the material and shape of the character look simple, and the movable type invented by Bi Sheng was just some thin sheets, which were brittle and not strong, and they had to be fixed with special glue every time they were used, and they had been used for hundreds of years before they were gradually improved.
So just the movable type level needs to be repeatedly groped for a long time, movable type printing, the production of movable type, typesetting and printing these three links of the people are carefully selected out of the honest people, and they are all on the dock side of the house, want to dig away the cost is too great, so it has not been leaked.
Of course, Zhang San also knows that this is also a matter of time or time, so Zhang San also has a secret technology, that is, the configuration of ink, lead movable type as metal movable type, ordinary ink is not very convenient to use, and the water is easy to gather into a clump on the metal, and it is easy to have unclear handwriting or even stained into a clump.
Therefore, if you want to use lead movable type ink, it is the key thing, and the configuration of the ink has always been in charge of a special person, so even if the secret of the lead movable type is leaked, Zhang San is not afraid, of course, the calculation will one day that the ink will be leaked Zhang San is not afraid.
Because Zhang San has now begun to study the semi-mechanized printing process, he will always be one step faster than others, and he will not be afraid of being plagiarized when the time comes, which is also a helpless move without intellectual property protection.
As for the matter of the brewery, Zhang San paid more attention to it, the distiller is now more professional after improvement, and only some core operating craftsmen can see the face of the still, but all they see is a large iron cylinder and a few water pipes, and they can't see anything inside.
This is also a secrecy measure taken by Zhang San after the expansion of his brewing workshop, after Zhang San's redesign, the operators who add fire, pour wine, drink and discharge wastewater are all in different rooms, and they don't know each other, and they don't know what their work has to do with winemaking.
These people are still core employees, and those on the periphery don't know, so it was rumored in several workshops that Li Si was very anxious to pass the book to Zhang San after being poached, and Zhang San really didn't care about the news.
But this time Zhang San is not to strengthen secrecy, but to know who is digging his corner, and those forces behind them are involved, which makes Zhang San more afraid than poaching skills.
