Chapter 13 Fortune and Disaster
What is the business opportunity?
Message one step ahead.
Unique technology.
And in line with market demand.
In the Tang Dynasty, the former was almost entirely monopolized by the wealthy families of the court and the government, and ordinary businessmen had no chance to mix with it.
There are more of the latter, and most of the craftsmen and small traders fall into this category.
It often relies on the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation, and it is often not leaked when killed, and the father dies and the son succeeds, and the male is not passed on to the female, and the ancestors take it for a living.
In the eyes of the villagers in Ju'anli, the Chen family's tofu and bean sprouts are like this.
Envy!
With this craft, the descendants of the Chen family will have ancestral livelihood skills in the future.
Maybe it will be bigger in a few years, and when the time comes, you will open a workshop, open a shop, and make money to build a house and land......
In Chang'an City, there are many ancestral time-honored brands that are on this trajectory.
After hearing the news from Lizheng Laogen, the villagers wanted to see the true face of tofu and bean sprouts, and they wanted to be fresh.
Chen Yu happily provided a small number of tasting products to satisfy the curiosity and appetite of the villagers.
But the kitchen is not allowed to be visited.
The villagers also expressed their understanding that if they had this craft, they would not let outsiders know about it.
Exclusive craftsmanship, must be kept secret!
Chen Yu just smiled faintly, he never thought that the tofu and bean sprouts technology could be exclusive for a long time, let alone monopolize it.
It is only a matter of time before something that has no technical content is imitated or even surpassed by others.
He is just worried that the ultra-high yield ratio of tofu and bean sprouts will be exposed, which will affect the price and even attract jealousy.
Later experience told him that any profitable technology and industry would be quickly remembered, mixed in, and even occupied by capital.
It is not uncommon for doves to occupy the magpie's nest, and the founders are excluded.
The Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid, was no exception.
The feudal society, which is powerful and hierarchical, will only end more miserably.
……
Life is sometimes so coincidental, afraid of what comes.
At dawn, Chen Yu got up from the kang.
Since I have a fire kang, there is no chill when I sleep at night, and I have a layer of fur mat underneath, and I sleep exceptionally comfortably.
Of course, it is easy to get angry after sleeping for a long time.
Chen Yu's injury has almost healed, and he has eaten a lot of nourishing and hot mutton, and when he wakes up in the morning, in addition to his dry mouth, it is inevitable that the dust will be raised.
Thinking of the fact that his biological age was only thirteen years old and he was going through puberty, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although it is not surprising that Datang generally marries early, marries a wife at the age of twelve or thirteen, and even becomes a father, Chen Yu categorically does not have such a ridiculous thing.
Put it in the water, let the second brother of the fish be calm and calm, and everything will be talked about later.
The top priority is to make money to improve the family's situation first.
There is a truth throughout the ages, will a handsome young man with wealth and power lack women?
After washing, Chen Yu was originally going to practice his fists and feet.
At the beginning of his childhood, Second Uncle Xu taught Chen Yu archery and fists and feet, which would be the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it was necessary to learn some life-saving skills.
By the time of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although it was gradually peaceful, it had become accustomed to nature.
Especially after this injury, Second Uncle Xu asked for winter training to strengthen his body.
Although there are memories of the little fish in my mind, it is a little vague, and the fist and foot kung fu are inevitably rusty.
After Second Uncle Xu saw it, he shook his head again and again.
"After a toss, my brain is a lot smarter, but my legs and feet are a lot clumsy."
Chen Yu had to smile bitterly with embarrassment.
As a result, the requirements have become more and more stringent.
Second Uncle Xu supervises Chen Yu to practice his fists and feet every morning, and today is no exception.
It's just that this is just starting to warm up, and there are guests visiting outside the chaimen.
Li Zheng Laogen led a middle-aged man to stand outside the door and greeted him warmly.
"Xu Er, Brother Yu, this is the fourth master of Xishi Chang, I am looking for you if I have something."
He was in his forties, not tall, but stocky, with a goatee and two eyes that kept wandering.
This fourth master Chang is full of the shrewdness of market vendors.
"It's not strange to come to the door to disturb and be abrupt."
Chang Siye smiled all over his face, his eyes swept over the courtyards of the Chen and Xu families as he spoke, and he quickly looked at Chen Yu.
"Where, Fourth Master Chang is polite, please!"
Second Uncle Xu smiled and welcomed the two of them into the house, there was no tea soup, just two cups of water.
Chang Siye didn't mind, and after a few words of greeting, he said with a smile: "I'll get straight to the point again, I came here today to discuss cooperation with your mansion." ”
"Cooperation?"
"I can't hide it, the tofu and bean sprouts in your house are good, and I sent a few restaurants yesterday, and the diners liked them a lot, and there were many people who came to order."
Chang Siye smiled: "But look at this situation, the output of your mansion seems to be limited, and I am afraid that the supply will exceed demand." ”
Tofu and bean sprouts are popular, and it is completely unexpected that they should not be sought.
Chen Yu was silent, his heart like a mirror.
This Fourth Master Chang is also realistic, but I don't know what his intentions are?
"Not to mention tofu, the price of this bean sprout is high, because of the cold weather in winter, and there are green vegetables in spring, and the price will fall.
Therefore, Chang has the heart to cooperate with your mansion to open a workshop together, make tofu, send bean sprouts, and make more money while the weather is still cold before the New Year. ”
The idea is right, take advantage of the cold weather, scarce things are expensive, and make a good profit.
"What Fourth Master Chang said is reasonable, but I don't know how to cooperate?"
"Xiao Langjun is refreshing."
Chang Siye has already seen that although Chen Yu is young, he is the one who really calls the shots.
"I'll pay for the land, and your house will make the method."
"Oh? And then what? ”
Technology shareholding, a very common way in later generations, but the key is in the back.
Input, for profit.
So what should we say about the sharing ratio?
Chang Siye looked at Chen Yu and smiled lightly: "If you make money, you will share it with twenty-eight." ”
Twenty-eight points!
Chen Yu will not be so stupid as to think that he can take eight, after all, people contribute money and efforts.
It doesn't matter, it's the total gain that matters.
As long as the plate is big enough, even if it is only one percent, it is an astonishing fortune.
Chang Siye said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun can rest assured, Chang has already estimated, and it is not a problem to earn two or three hundred yuan before February." ”
Two or three hundred?
Li Zheng Laogen was suddenly shocked and envious, such a large sum of money is enough to build a house with two entrances in one courtyard and buy dozens of acres of land.
Second Uncle Xu also moved slightly, and his gaze fell on Chen Yu.
"And what about after February?"
Chen Yu did not hesitate and asked a key question.
"I'm afraid we have to stop in spring and summer, when there are many green vegetables and fruits, bean sprouts can't be sold at a high price, and tofu is probably perishable, so I will do it in autumn and winter."
"That's it!"
Chen Yu sneered secretly, as expected, this Fourth Master Chang had a wishful thinking.
After cooperating for a month, you can make a small profit.
Workshop-scale production, not complex technology, Chang Si will definitely be able to steal it.
When the work is temporarily suspended in spring and summer, and when the signboard is changed and the work starts again, is there anything else going on with the Chen family?
The premise of technology shareholding is patent protection, and Datang does not have this statement.
In the name of cooperation, to put it bluntly, it is just a trick craft.
Chen Yu suddenly became vigilant, shook his head with a smile and said: "Fourth Master Chang, three or seven are divided, year after year, if you agree, immediately sign a contract in black and white." ”
Chang Siye couldn't help but be surprised, at a young age, he actually saw through his calculations at a glance.
Just, so what?
"Xiao Langjun, it's almost, don't have too much appetite for young people."
"Hehe, there is a plane tree at home, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract the golden phoenix?"
Chen Yu made an inappropriate analogy.
With the secret recipe in hand, you are not the only vegetable seller in Chang'an City.
What's more, you can also bypass the direct transaction between the food and the restaurant.
Why are you so domineering?
Chang Siye savored it for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of Chen Yu's words, and immediately sneered.
"Xiao Langjun doesn't know, Chang Mou has been selling vegetables in Chang'an for a year, and he can say two words in the market.
For example, whether the vegetables grown in Juanli every year can be successfully marketed, the price is ......."
