Chapter 163: A Money Cow
"Mrs. Hui, the little one has already inquired clearly, King Lanling invited so many people to the mansion today in order to auction five hundred crystals and four commodities for the regional agency."
In Xuanyangfang, in the mansion of Mrs. Qiuguo, the three sisters gathered together again and listened to the results of Guo Si, the head of Mrs. Qiuguo.
"Auction? Can you find out how much money was sold? What are the four commodities? You elaborate. ”
“…… According to rough estimates, 500 pieces of crystal, together with 300 pieces that have not yet been fired, can sell at least 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 pieces; The four products are soap, glassware, sugar, and rock sugar. ”
Guo Si took out a brocade bag from his sleeve, inside was a small paper bag, opened it, and white sugar and rock sugar as white as snow and crystal as ice appeared in front of them, and the eyes of the three of them widened.
"Oh, what is this?"
"Mrs. Hui, this is sugar, the small one is white sugar, and the ice crystals are called rock sugar, which are the two commodities that the Four Seas Trading Company sells as an agent."
The three of them picked up a rock candy and put it in their mouths with some suspicion, and then their eyes began to glow: "This rock candy is really sweet, sweeter than honey, without a trace of miscellaneous taste." ”
"Yes, third sister, I have never eaten such sweet sugar."
"This Xiao Qu is worthy of the immortal disciple, such a sweet, and tasted like such a candy, I really don't know how he made it!"
"Who said no, he just has a delicate heart, and now the Four Seas Trading Company has a snack car, selling what grilled chicken wings, grilled lamb skewers, grilled fish fillets, and what spicy hot, and the four seas supermarket also sells roast beef jerky, which is really delicious!"
It was Yang Yujun, the wife of the Qin State, who said this. The heart is slandered. It's all to blame for the third sister beating the person sent by Xiao Quai. and rob him of the Four Seas Trading Company and the secret recipe. Now that Xiao Quai's illness has regained his strength, the third brother Yang Guozhong has re-entered the door to reconcile, but the third sister still has to stand up.
If it weren't for this, these delicious things from the Four Seas Trading Company would be sent to the homes of the three of us, how could it be like this, if you want to eat some roast beef jerky, you have to go to the Four Seas Supermarket to buy it, two silver coins and a tael. As expensive as silver!
Yang Yuyao didn't think so, she was still indignant in her heart, if she hadn't said that Xiao Qu's illness, Yang Guifei and Li Longji would ignore her, and she couldn't wait to go to the palace every day to say bad things about Xiao Qu's illness.
She asked hatefully, "Tell me what's going on with that agent sales." ”
"It is these four commodities that are sold to other merchants, as long as you pay the deposit and agency fee, you can get the goods directly from the Four Seas Trading Company, and after selling them, you will hand over sixty percent of the income or half of the income......"
The eldest sister, Mrs. Yang Yuling, said: "Isn't this a gift of money? Regret not at the beginning, or else this agency can be less than ours? Third sister. Now he has invited the powerful families of Chang'an, rich businessmen and magnates. But he didn't invite us, which is obviously angry with us. Guo Si, do you know if the agency of Shudi has been taken out for filming? ”
"I don't know."
"So what? He is angry with us, and I am angry with him! Yang Yuyao said angrily: "Could it be that we still have to go over to confess our mistakes to him and give him face?" ”
Yang Yuying shook her head secretly, Yang Yuling glared at her and said, "Do you still want to wait for him to admit our mistakes?" What kind of person is he you don't know? Revenge will be avenged, and when you are angry, you will kill. He was very respectful to us before, it was for the sake of Yuhuan's face, but he was not afraid of us! Do you still want to knead him arbitrarily like you did with those princes and princesses? ”
Yang Yujun also said: "Yes, third sister." When I went to see Your Majesty today, it seemed that I was ten years younger again, and there were more and more black hairs on my sideburns, and I heard that it was because King Lanling offered an elixir. Now that His Majesty supports him so much, he is now a great god of wealth, and we are fighting with him, isn't it impossible to get along with money. ”
"I just can't swallow this!" In fact, Xiao Qubing didn't have a place to live with her, just because he didn't let her rub it at will, coupled with his red eyes and jealousy, Yang Yuyao was extremely angry.
After a long time, in the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of money, and Yang Yuyao's tone finally softened: "Then what are we going to do, to ask for Yuhuan?" ”
Yang Yuling said: "It's not necessary, let my eldest lady go to King Jianning." That Xiao Qu's illness will not favor King Jianning, as long as King Jianning speaks......"
On the other side, in the Lanling Palace, the auction of agency rights in various places is in full swing.
They are all local tyrants, 500 pieces of crystal, together with 300 pieces that have not yet been burned, were sold out in a quarter and a half, except for the first piece that took some time, and the back is getting faster and faster, and the transaction price is getting higher and higher.
However, Xiao Quai's illness was still too slow, so he simply asked Xiao Tianming to auction ten pieces and ten pieces together, so the opportunity to shout the price became less and less, and the competition became more and more intense, and by the time of the last one hundred and eighty pieces, it was all 7,000 transactions. In the end, he got three million and sixty-four thousand pieces of money.
Immediately afterwards, the agency rights of more than 200 prefectures and counties directly under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty were also allocated, with the agency rights of each state and county starting at 5,000 yuan, the security deposit of rich states and counties of 15,000 yuan, and the security deposit of ordinary states and counties of 10,000 yuan.
In a very short period of time, the Four Seas Trading Company received another 4 million yuan of money, not counting the agency rights and security deposits of the various states, vassal states, and vassal states.
And just as these neglected Hu merchants in the Western Regions rolled up their arms and sleeves one by one, ready to compete for the remaining regional agency rights, the rules changed again. In order to take care of their autonomy, they are allowed to trade privately with the agency rights of these places.
In this way, the competition is even more intense, some people rely on money to take a lot of agency rights, change hands to make money, and there are also vindictive troublemakers. For example, the merchant surnamed Kang Hu competed for the agency of Kang Guo and was raised by the Hu people surnamed An, so when the Hu people surnamed An bid for the agency of Anguo, they also desperately raised the price.
As a result, except for some places that are too poor, the average price of the agency in the wealthy Hezhong area has been auctioned at 30,000 or 40,000 guan, and those who have won the agency of a county with 5,000 guan without competition are happy to see their teeth and eyes.
Xiao Tianming was happy in his heart, but out of the Jews' too shrewd nature, he still had to bargain for a rope to hang, he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, if the crystal was also auctioned at the beginning, and the number was not limited, and then the Tang family and the wealthy merchants auctioned the agency like Hu Shang in the Western Regions, and the money obtained by the Four Seas Trading Company could be two or three percent more!
When the shrewd Xiao Tianming was calculating, He Keer's sixth uncle Wang Yujue was singing loudly in his heart. In just a quarter and a half, three million dollars came into the auction of crystals. In fact, the cost of these crystals is only some quartz sand and soda ash, and the cost of firing will not exceed 1,000 yuan.
Three thousand times the profit! When have you ever seen this kind of business throughout the ages? Even if the sixty percent that is to be handed over to the emperor and the imperial court is removed, the Four Seas Trading Company will still have a profit of 1.2 million.
This is not counting other businesses, such as the mutton floss, which used to sell for a tael, but now sells for a tael of silver coins, which is also dozens of times the profit. At first, I didn't believe it, thinking that it would definitely not be sold, but Fuchen said that this was the brand effect and the psychology of comparison, and it must be no problem, and it turned out to be true!
Now the profit of this new sugar business is not large, only three or four times, but it is better than the huge quantity; And rock candy is too profitable, more than 100 times more profitable, and the quantity is also quite a lot, 500,000 catties to 1 million catties.
Coupled with the sales of other commodities, the profits of the Four Seas Trading Company this year are unimaginable, and according to the auxiliary minister, the most profitable Four Seas Money Village, it will not be long before Wang Yujue has no doubt that the Four Seas Trading Company and the Four Seas Money Village will become richer than the treasury!
And the Wang family will become ten times richer than it is now! Thinking of this, Wang Yujue was so excited that he almost fainted, Xiao Fuchen, his nephew and son-in-law, was simply a cash cow, and it fell from the sky to our Wang family and the He family. (To be continued.) )
