Chapter Eighty-Seven: Don't Make Money
The workshops on the Zhang's Coal Industry side are similar to those on the Kyushu Coal Industry side, which are built on the basis of a large village, and at this time, the villagers in the entire village have also become employees of Zhang's Coal Industry, and they are all busy.
However, unlike Su Yu, Su Yu divided the manufacture of honeycomb coal into many processes, and the people in each process were only responsible for their own processes, and adopted the reward system of the piecework system, so the villagers and men on the side of Kyushu Coal Industry worked very hard.
Because we all know that the more work you do, the more money you get, which is directly linked to your own income, and it is natural to work hard
What's more, the food given by Su Yu here is really good, rice, white flour steamed buns are full, and occasionally there is a little meat and fishy food, which is naturally good.
Everyone doesn't need someone to supervise the work, because they all work hard, and they even rush to do it, and they all want to make more money.
But Zhang's Coal Industry is different, Su Yu only passed on the manufacturing method of honeycomb coal, but did not tell others about the way the assembly line works, as well as the method of the piecework incentive system.
Therefore, Zhang's coal industry still adopts traditional methods, divided into honeycomb coal manufacturing workshops.
Each workshop makes honeycomb coal from start to finish, and then the villagers are hired for only 5 yuan a day, with no food, no accommodation, and no incentives.
At this time, the weather was cold, and it was snowing heavily, and the villagers here in the workshop themselves were very thinly dressed, and they did not eat enough, so they did not have much strength at all.
So when they start to work, they are all like lazy cows, and the stewards will work hard a few times at a time, and if the people in charge are not there, they will slowly grind the foreign workers wherever they are.
There was no way, it was too cold, and I couldn't eat enough and not warm up, so I didn't have much strength at all.
The two Zhang brothers inspected one workshop after another, and everywhere they went, all the villagers were like chicken blood, and they worked very hard, so that the two brothers were quite satisfied.
"If we don't supervise strictly, all of them will be lazy to death, don't let me catch the lazy one, I have to peel his skin, 5 yuan a day is not so easy to get."
Zhang Liang knew very well that the villagers under him were lazy, so the two brothers often patrolled everywhere, walking around, and spent a large part of their day on this.
"Let's go, let's go and see our honeycomb coal, this first batch of honeycomb coal is almost dry, we have to quickly organize people to transport it to Liaodong City to sell."
Zhang Bao took Zhang Liang and the two brothers to the honeycomb coal drying area, looking at the honeycomb coal in one place, they were also very energetic, as if they saw countless gold coins flying towards them.
"Why don't you hurry up and move these dried honeycomb coals into the warehouse?"
"Be careful, this honeycomb coal is 2 cents, and if it is broken, I will deduct it from your salary."
Zhang Liang looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to move these sun-dried honeycomb coals into the warehouse.
At the same time, he began to count silently, ready to calculate the amount of this first batch of honeycomb coal.
"It's all put into storage, and the first batch of honeycomb coal is a total of 25,350 pieces of honeycomb coal."
The two brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, were also full of energy, and kept counting the honeycomb coal that was put into the warehouse, until the last piece of honeycomb coal was moved into the warehouse, and the two of them also calculated the amount of the first batch of honeycomb coal.
"If a honeycomb coal is sold for 2 yuan, this first batch of honeycomb coal can be sold for 50,000 and 700 yuan, and if it is converted into alloy coins, it will cost almost 50 gold."
"God, it's only 50 gold, for this honeycomb coal, our two brothers have invested more than 30,000 gold, and now there are only 50 gold a day."
Zhang Liang is a master of arithmetic, and after carefully calculating it, he couldn't help but feel black in front of him.
Originally, I thought that this honeycomb coal business was a very profitable business, but there was news from Kyushu Coal Industry that it could make millions of gold a year.
There is absolutely no way to fake this news, because they got it from some people's secret sources, and they have also done some research beforehand.
In fact, this honeycomb coal does not need too much cost at all, coal is the same as dirt on the coal mountain, and there is more, just dig it, this honeycomb coal is the palm size of the coal will be sold for 2 yuan, this trade is really profitable.
After buying a mountain of coal, investing in a honeycomb coal workshop, and employing thousands of villagers to do things, the honeycomb coal produced in a day was only worth 50 gold.
Suddenly, the two brothers couldn't help but feel upset, these funds for the success of the eldest brother are gold!
After investing tens of thousands of gold, now it can only sell 50 gold a day, you must know that the 50 gold has not deducted the cost.
Not to mention anything else, just the thousands of villagers hired need 5 yuan per person a day, which is dozens of gold a day, and then counting the loss of other things, etc., this 50 gold is estimated to be discounted.
"50 gold a day, even if all of it is a profit, this month is less than 1,000 gold, and you can't earn 10,000 gold a year, Su Yu really didn't lie to us, this is really hard money."
Zhang Bao counted carefully with his fingers, and suddenly remembered what Su Yu said.
Some time ago, when he asked Su Yu for the manufacturing method of honeycomb coal, Su Yu said that the trading of honeycomb coal was hard money, and he didn't believe it at the time, but now he really believes it.
The sale of honeycomb coal is really hard money.
The two brothers were like defeated roosters, and they had hoped that the honeycomb coal trade would make a lot of money, but now they were like deflated balloons, and the whole person was deflated and listless.
As the three leaders of Taiping Road, they are not short of money, if they spend normally.
But now in order to start things in the coming year, a huge amount of money is needed.
To tell the truth, this year's income is still quite good, tens of thousands of taels of silver a year is still there, for the trading of honeycomb coal, I suddenly feel tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it.
"Go back to Julu City and tell the eldest brother about this."
"Or let's go back to Julu City to do coal business, and we will make too little money in Liaodong City!"
Zhang Liang was listless, he didn't have the heart to continue to stay here, originally in order to make money, whether he was hungry or cold, he didn't care, he was very energetic.
I get up very early every day, constantly patrol the various workshop areas, run up and down the hills, and my shoes are worn out several times these days.
Now, he didn't have any thoughts, he just wanted to go back to Julu City, eat a good meal, and then sleep beautifully.
"Go back? Stupidity! ”
"The information provided by those people will never be wrong, it must be that Su Yu still has a hand, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!"
Although Zhang Bao was very disappointed in his heart, but after doing the math, the profit was actually not bad, but it was far less than he originally expected.
This is the so-called greater expectations, the greater the disappointment, originally wanted to make a lot of money, but now can only make a little money, the gap is too big.
But he was unwilling, and firmly believed that honeycomb coal could definitely make a lot of money, but he was deceived by Su Yu!
