370 The prototype of a business empire
(Thanks to 'Whitebeard Mouse,' 'Guanyang, the two brothers' monthly passes, thank you.)
Thank you Chen Qixiong brothers for your consistent support, thank you, there is another chapter in the evening. ^//^)
Lian Zining stayed at home for two days.
I used this time to accompany my sister-in-law.
In his heart, Lian Zining was extremely guilty of Cheng Yu, if it weren't for Cheng Yu, he was afraid that he, a poor scholar who knew how to read stupidly, would have starved to death long ago, and he would be able to get the future soaring. Later, after he developed, he was running around all year round, and he couldn't stay at home for a few days a year. And Cheng Yu has to take care of such a huge family business at such a young age and share the pressure for herself, although Yu Susu is on the side to help, but such a huge pressure is on her small immature shoulders, which makes Lian Zining feel sad when she thinks about it.
In the past two days, I was finally able to leave everything behind and accompany my sister well.
The two of them were reading and chatting, and when they had nothing to do, they sat in the water pavilion with a snack plate while watching the bright autumn colors, and they also went back to the small courtyard of Pine Hutong for one night, which can be regarded as a bittersweet memory.
Lian Zining's news of his arrival naturally couldn't be hidden from Dai Zhangpu, in fact, as soon as he came back, he had already sent someone to Dai Mansion to report the news, but Qinglan was also very sensible and did not send anyone to find him.
When Lian Zining and Qinglan met in the cold, the brother-sister friendship between the two of them couldn't be clearer.
Taking advantage of the past few days, Lian Zining also sorted out his own business, and he didn't know, it turned out that his own business had developed to such a huge point.
Now the business of the Lien chaebol, Lian Zining has roughly divided it into several major sectors - business, logistics, finance, catering, and hotels with some shallow knowledge of business administration in his later generations.
Among them, the commercial sector naturally accounts for the largest share, and the commercial sector includes small modules such as silk villages, grain and oil shops, jewelry stores, supermarkets, and coarse cloth villages.
In fact, it stands to reason that as long as there is a supermarket, all the things sold in the daily store can be included, but this is unrealistic after all, because according to Lian Zining's original concept, the supermarket is to be big, and the daily purchase and sales volume are extremely huge, so that the cost can be recovered, so as to make small profits and quick turnover, so that the supermarket can maintain high profits while being a few points cheaper than the outside. However, the supermarket is too big, the ground required is also large, and the capital invested is also large, so up to now, there are only three supermarkets under the Lian's chaebol, one each in the east and west and one in the south, and the relatively poor north city has not been opened.
The radiation range of the supermarket is also limited, the whole city of Beijing is like a square, the radiation range of the three major supermarkets is a circle, there is a certain blank area between the circle and the circle, the market in these areas, naturally can not let go of all kinds of shops Zhuangzi, it has become an effective supplement. Now, Lian Kee Supermarket has embarked more on a model similar to that of the later METRO supermarkets - more of them sell some large quantities of goods. Anyway, these goods are also brought back from all over the country by the big car shops of the Lian's chaebol, and the transportation cost is less, although the price is lower, it is also a huge profit. *.*.*/*
Let's talk about the silk village and the cloth village, these two are aimed at completely different markets, just like the later Apple stores and copycat machine stores, targeting different buyers, but in fact, the same money.
The silk village is aimed at the high-end market, and the products sold in it are Huxiang silk, Suzhou embroidery, Shu brocade, and even the golden and red cloud brocade of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan are sold, and the price is also extremely expensive. For example, the Baixi satin woven by those skillful women in Baiximan, Lin'an Prefecture, Yunnan Province is bright red, big golden, the silk texture is fine, smooth, and I don't know how to get it, the color is extremely hot and gorgeous and ethereal, like the clouds in the sky at dusk. Such satin, one zhang long is fifty taels of silver, and this is it, and it is still in short supply. And the ready-to-wear clothes in the silk village are not uncommon...,
The things sold in the cloth village are naturally much cheaper, they are aimed at the low-end market with the largest number of people in the capital, ordinary people will naturally not be so extravagant to wear silk and satin, spend a few dollars and silver to buy two new clothes for the children, and the clothes made of a few feet of coarse cloth are strong and durable, which is the best choice for them. The profit of a single piece of cloth is naturally thinner, but the problem is that the amount is too large. Originally, the Zhang family in Leling County was the largest supplier of coarse cloth in the entire Beijing city, but later, when his white-robed army got into trouble, this piece was naturally broken, which made a big gap in the supply of coarse cloth in the capital. After Lian Zining became the town guard of the six counties, he took over this piece of business, and more than 100,000 horses of coarse cloth of more than 500,000 zhang in the six counties flowed into the Lian's chaebol every year, and then entered the market through the Lian's chaebol.
In this way, the profit on the coarse cloth is actually greater than that of the silk village.
In terms of logistics, it is a big car shop, and there can be no more ways to logistics in this era.
In fact, if you really count it, the business of the big car shop is the lifeblood of the Lian's chaebol, a business empire that has already taken shape. Cheng Yu has invested a lot in the business of the big car shop, and this year, it has achieved rapid development. Now Lianji's big car shop has more than 30 lines, extending in all directions. To the north, you can reach the border of Liaodong and Nuergan Governorate, to the south to Huxiang, to the west to Xi'anfu, to the southwest to the Sichuan-Yunnan border, and to the east to Tianjin Wei along the coast to Nanzhili!
There are more than 30 lines and thousands of cars that can carry more than 30 people, which can not only carry passengers to make money, but also get business information from all over the world. When you go and when you come back, you can bring a large amount of goods, and even remember the supply of other stores, which are basically directly from the big car shop. The most important reason why Lian Ji can be developed is naturally because Lian Zining is in a high position, and there is a lot less trivial work, no matter what the various procedures, it is very smooth, no one is harassed, and there is a good business environment.
Another important reason is that after the existence of the big car shop, the cost will fall, and the price will naturally be low.
In this way, there is a natural competitiveness.
In the financial module, now the Lian's chaebol has just set foot in two money banks and three pawnshops, in fact, in this era, one of the profiteering businesses is money and pawnshops. This is like the bank of later generations, and the bank is naturally a profiteering industry in the windfall profit. What's more, in this era, if you deposit money in the bank, the bank will not only not give you interest, but will collect your money. Saving money also makes money, lending is even more profitable, and the profits are huge.
In terms of catering, there are now five hotels in the capital that belong to Lian Kee, and the profit is not too big, but there is a benefit, restaurants are well-informed. The chaebol has been sending people inside all the year round to collect all kinds of information, and they have made a lot of profits.
And the hotel industry, in this era, is more accurate to call it an inn.
Whether it is specialized or extensive, this topic has not been debated until the 21st century, but in Lian Zining's view, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, compared with later generations, the news is relatively closed, and the flow is not developed. Lian's chaebol is naturally following this path, at least for now, it seems that the various sectors are well combined.
Lian Zining finally knew how much money he had on hand now.
These days, the jewels that were obtained from Fuso have been sold for 20%, and this aspect is now hoarded 1.1 million taels of silver. …,
That's it, there's a lot of jewelry left.
His current income is divided into the following parts: the income of the official road Liu Town, the income of the official road Liu Zhen Chamber of Commerce, the income of the Lian chaebol and the income of the Fubo Chamber of Commerce, and the share of the Iwami Silver Mountain in Japan.
The official road Liu Zhen took advantage of the banknote, and now it has become a very prosperous commercial town in the south of the capital, in the steady development, but the market has basically reached a saturated level, and it is still difficult to have a large growth in a short period of time.
Now on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, there can be about 60,000 taels of income every month, and the income of banknotes is stable at about 50,000 taels, with occasional fluctuations, but it will not be large.
The business of the Lien chaebol is divided into two parts, domestic and foreign, and the scale of the domestic business has expanded a lot, and the income is naturally rising, around 200,000 taels per month. In a year, it is more than two million taels, this number seems to be very huge, in fact it is nothing, many big businessmen in the Ming Dynasty who operate overseas businesses, their reputation is not obvious, and their income is far more than this.
Some time ago, news had already been brought from Fuso, and as of August, Fusang's business, after deducting costs and all intermediate expenses, had made a net profit of 690,000 taels. However, the silver is still on its way, ready to return with the caravan the next time it goes back. The last time Cheng Yu went to Fusang with Lian Zining, the goods sold in Fusang not only earned back all the capital, but also made a net profit of 100,000 taels.
As for the Fubo Chamber of Commerce, Lian Zining made a profit of 100,000 taels last time, and just half a month ago, led by Liu Liangchen, he organized the businessmen affiliated to the Chamber of Commerce to go to Fusang on the big ship of Lian Ji and escorted by the Weihaiwei battleship.
This time there are more businessmen, they are larger, and the estimated income can be higher.
In addition, Fusang Shijian Yinshan's income, if nothing else, hundreds of thousands of taels a year can be guaranteed, but there is still no news for the time being.
The net income of the 400,000 taels of silver seized in the mountain city of Wudao last time has not been used, and now it is still sleeping in the treasury!
In this way, Lian Zining's regular income is 310,000 taels a month, but 30,000 taels of these incomes are to be sent to Dai Zhangpu's mansion every month, and there is also the income from the military department, which can save 270,000 taels a month. This money has not been used for several months since Lian Zining left, and after three months, it is about 800,000 taels.
Coupled with the income of 1.1 million taels of jewelry, the income of the Godao clan is 400,000 taels, and the income of Fusang Business and Fubo Chamber of Commerce is 200,000 taels, Lian Zining suddenly found that the total amount of funds he can use now has reached 2.5 million taels!
This is a rather terrifying figure, equivalent to more than 20% of the silver part of the Ming Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue.
And the income that can be expected but has no in hand is almost a million taels.
Lian Zining couldn't help but sigh a lot, it seems that her sister is really a genius in business! Ordinary people, even if they give him such and such conditions, how can they forge such a huge business empire in just two years?
However, there are also a lot of expenses, expanding stores, buying real estate, and buying various tools, which add up to about 200,000 taels.
And the biggest expenditure was a month ago, a business with the Marquis of Jianning.
Cheng Yu spent 500,000 taels of silver to buy two Fushan ships from the Marquis of Jianning, and this time he went to Fusang, and he used these two big ships to load all the tens of millions of catties of goods into it. For this decision, Lian Zining is very much in favor of this decision, at first glance it seems that a lot of money has been spent, in fact, overseas upgrades are extremely profitable, what is lacking is an ocean-going ship that can resist waves and carry goods.
In addition, it is necessary to leave another 500,000 taels of principal to the Chamber of Commerce, and the money that Lian Zining can use is 1.7 million taels.
For Wu Yijun, who is getting bigger and bigger, this money is not much, because next, there will be a large number of expenditures.
On the third day, that is, on the first day of October, Emperor Zhengde summoned Lian Zining to come to Lianfu.
It was not through the holy decree of the cabinet, but similar to the middle decree of the oral message, and Zhao Lian Zining met in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.
Because the name contains such a Qing character of the Qing Dynasty and a Qianlong character, many people think that the Qianqing Palace was renamed during the Qing Dynasty, but it is not. "Dry" is the meaning of "sky", "clear" is the meaning of "thorough", one is to symbolize the transparent sky, not muddy, symbolizing the stability of the country; The second is to symbolize that the emperor's actions are as open as the clear sky, and he has not done anything unseemly.
Since its completion in the eighteenth year of Yongle, this hall has been the seat of the emperor's handling of government affairs, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was also the residence of all emperors. Later, it also became a place to receive foreign envoys.
