11. O profiteer!
After Li Shimin finished the court, he immediately called Jingwen to the Liangyi Palace. This is the second time Li Shimin has summoned a cook, and even Li Shimin was surprised that he actually summoned a cook twice in just a few days, and it was still the same cook. However, this time it was related to the morale and stability of the army, and Li Shimin had to summon Jingwen, a "slut".
"Jingwen, you asked me to hand over this instant noodle matter to your imperial dining room, is that how you did it? Do you see how you do this errand? Li Shimin asked in an angry tone.
Jingwen immediately asked; "Your Majesty, what's not to be satisfied with? The minister thinks that this instant noodle is still good, is there anything the emperor is not satisfied with? ”
"All the generals are about to fight for this instant noodles, and they all want this instant noodles!" Li Shimin said.
Jingwen said with a smile: "It shows that this instant noodle has been welcomed by all the soldiers, so it has to be purchased in large quantities!" Moreover, this instant noodle has the emperor's share, and the emperor can also get dividends. When the time comes, the emperor only needs to hand over the matter to our imperial dining room, and the emperor will sit and count the money. ”
"Huh? How much do you give me? Li Shimin suddenly asked with concern.
Now Li Shimin's own inner library is empty enough to run mice, and even the life of the palace is tight. Now that I heard that I can still get a lot of money, of course Li Shimin cares! I don't know how much money I can get, but there is a little bit of it! Li Shimin didn't talk to Jingwen about how many shares he could get before, so he asked now.
"Your Majesty, according to the current purchase plan of the Twelve Guards for our imperial dining room, we will probably purchase six million breads in a few months, and ten per person according to the number of heads. However, not all soldiers can eat this kind of instant noodles, and only officers and soldiers who have been trained successfully can eat instant noodles. So, we'll probably be able to get 150,000 yuan in a few months. This is only the first batch, and in the future, the army will buy more and more, and sell more and more. Even, the people will follow and eat, and we can still make a fortune. Jingwen said.
Li Shimin was also shocked by this 150,000 yuan, because each money was about equivalent to more than 400 yuan in later generations. And 150,000 yuan, that's more than 60 million. This is still the first batch of income, and then this instant noodle will continue to be purchased by the army, and the people will also be famous, and the income is even greater.
Li Shimin also did not expect that this small instant noodle market would be so big and could also improve the morale of the army, so this instant noodle is very good.
"How much are you going to give me? If it's too little, then I won't do it. You're using the reputation of the Imperial Dining Room to do business, so you're doing things with a real tiger skin, and I can't afford to do less. Li Shimin then asked.
The current Li Shimin is like a greedy businessman, and this is all forced by the reality. Moreover, Li Shimin is not a fool, of course he knows that Jingwen and them use the reputation of the imperial dining room to do business, that is, to follow the reputation of the emperor to do business, of course Li Shimin will be red-eyed! Li Shimin has also gone through ups and downs, and of course he knows how great the emperor's majesty is, so the benefits are also very great.
Jingwen thought for a moment and said, "Our imperial dining room has been discussed, and the emperor can monopolize the forty percent." As the inventor, I accounted for 30%, and all the colleagues in the imperial dining room accounted for 30%. ”
"Forty percent, that's not bad. You, the inventor, are only thirty percent, and forty percent of me is satisfied. Li Shimin said.
Although there was no legislation to protect patents in ancient times, it was recognized that those who came up with technology would have a larger share of their profits. Therefore, it is reasonable for Jingwen, the inventor, to account for 30 percent, and Li Shimin cannot say anything. And Li Shimin also thinks that he accounts for 40 percent, which is also good.
The reason why Li Shimin thinks it's good is because he didn't pay a penny, and he can get forty percent of the shares for nothing, which is very good. Even he, the emperor, did not have much wealth in a real private pocket. What's more, now because he gave a lot of wealth to the Turks, his inner treasury is empty. Now it is very tight to maintain the operation of the country, so Li Shimin can only reduce the consumption in the palace, so as to maintain the operation of the country. If even the state can't function, then what does he mean as an emperor? Therefore, at a critical time, the emperor still has to use the money from his inner treasury to maintain the operation of the country.
"So how much does this instant noodle cost? How much do you make a dough pie? How much do you sell to the army? Li Shimin also asked.
Li Shimin obviously also knows that doing business is about the ratio of cost and profit. If the cost is high and the profit is thin, then there is nothing to be gained. Don't look at the current turnover is very high, but if the profit is not high, then I am afraid there is nothing to do. Li Shimin also regarded this instant noodle as a windfall, so he also cared about how much money he could get from this thing.
"Your Majesty, the cost of this dough cake is about five copper plates, and then we can sell twenty-five copper plates for one instant noodle. We can get a profit of 20 copper plates for each instant noodle, and when the time comes, you can get 40%, that is, a profit of 8 copper plates. Six million breads down, the emperor you can get forty-eight thousand yuan. Jingwen said.
Jingwen's words surprised Li Shimin, because this business actually earned 48,000 yuan? That's the equivalent of nearly 20 million in later generations. I just let the imperial dining room do this business, and I can get 48,000 yuan? And it was obtained for nothing, and not a penny was invested. What's more, this is still long-term, not only can it be obtained at one time, but it can also be more and more. This is a windfall, and it is still a cash cow! A small instant noodle can have such a huge profit.
However, when Li Shimin heard this profit margin, he immediately said: "Quadruple profit, what a profiteer!" You're the first to dare to snatch food from my army, and you're a dog. I really didn't expect you to be a cook, a chef is so bold? If you're not a cook, I'll definitely reuse you. ”
Jingwen heard that Li Shimin wanted to reuse himself, and he was quite happy at first. But later, he actually said that his identity as a chef was not suitable, and he was immediately a little disappointed, this chef's identity killed Jingwen!
