Chapter 375: Dividends

Isn't it possible to be in a hurry?

If you don't have the emperor's signboard, forget it. But with this signboard, those high-ranking officials and nobles did not buy iron cabinets for practical purposes, but in the guise of taking care of the emperor's business and selling the emperor's favors, but they couldn't buy the goods.

If only everyone couldn't buy it, it wouldn't be fine. But some people who are quick to buy it, but they don't buy it, and they can't help but beat the drum in their hearts, for fear that they will not be active and the emperor will know about it, so they take a small book and write it down, just waiting for the opportunity to settle accounts after the autumn.

So everyone ran to the emperor and complained that they couldn't buy a safe, and by the way, they showed their attitude - it's not that the concubines don't do it, but the concubines can't do it.

Although Xiao Yu is the emperor, he is controlled by the imperial history, and he does not have much private money in his hand, and he has to take it out from time to time to give rewards, and his life is quite difficult.

As an emperor, he must pay attention to balance, especially when the crown prince has been appointed, he cannot favor any prince or a certain force except the prince on the surface. So it's not good to get involved in any business.

But this time it's different.

Kang Shilin does not belong to any party, and his little apprentice is naturally the same as him. In addition, Zhang Changshen, Wu Huaisi, Gong Cheng, and Wu Zong, who became shareholders, were royalists like Kang Shilin, and they really belonged to his faction. He made a little money in individual stocks, and neither the prince nor the prince could say that he was partial; In addition, he is in the luxury business, and all he earns is the silver of the wealthy, and the imperial history cannot say that he competes with the people for profit.

It's a tailor-made deal for him.

But now when everyone came to complain to him, saying that he couldn't buy an iron cabinet with money, he was in a hurry.

That little junior sister of the Zhao family is really too young to do things unreliable, how can she not make money? Everyone rushed to buy iron cabinets in this wave, but they came for his face. When this situation slows down, maybe everyone won't buy it.

He immediately sent a eunuch to ask Zhang Changshen, and learned that the production capacity was too low due to the lack of trustworthy manpower, so he immediately transferred the blacksmith who repaired the emperor's tomb to Zhao Ruxi.

Anyway, he eats hemp and fragrant now, and his body is very tough, and he can't die for a while, and it doesn't matter if the imperial tomb is repaired slowly. Or grab the money first...... Oh no, it's more important to make money first.

Zhao Ruxi had already asked the carpenter to build many molds, just waiting for the emperor's order to make iron cabinets.

So after the twenty or so blacksmiths arrived, she immediately arranged them in an orderly manner, separating Li Blacksmith from Li Da, Li Er, and Li San, and letting them each take a team of new blacksmiths, each team doing different work in the mode of assembly line operation. In a few days, I made some iron cabinets.

When the new blacksmiths became proficient, the blacksmith's workshop produced faster, and at least a dozen iron cabinets were sent to the shop every day.

The drawer lock originally had some inventory, and the large parts Zhao Ruxi was assigned to a few coppersmiths in the north of the city, Hu locksmith and Jiang locksmith only made small parts of the key parts, and they had two or three subordinates, so the speed of the drawer lock could completely keep up.

Although some more blacksmiths can be found to increase production capacity, Zhao Ruxi feels that it is enough to maintain this speed.

Although it is necessary to make money while it is hot, hunger marketing is a must. Anyway, these people in the capital don't dare not buy a safe, and they have to buy it no matter how long they wait; It can be sold in the form of hunger marketing, which has a lot of influence.

Not only does she want to catch all the money of the people in the capital, but she also wants to earn the money of the rich people from other places.

Although the safe in the capital is still in short supply, there are still many people queuing up in front of the shop every day to buy, but at least the supply is endless. Adults and gentlemen don't need to go to the queue in person, so everyone is not anxious.

With Xiao Qi as an endorsement, no one in the capital dares to owe on credit, they are all silver ticket transactions, and everyone's silver tickets dare not be faked.

The price of each safe was eight hundred taels of silver, and seventeen or eighteen were sold a day, and the money was counted. After receiving the money, it was directly sent to Wu Zong, and Wu Zong quietly sent someone to Zhao Ruxi. Zhao Ruxi had already transported a few safes back to Suipingbo's Mansion, except for Zhao Jingtai, who didn't have much private money, the old lady, Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu all gave one each.

This business involves too much, and the elders in the family will definitely have the heart to after hearing about it, for fear that something will go wrong with her, for fear that she will be hated, worried that those silver tickets are not safe, and so on; In addition, most of the money she earned was intended to be sent to Xiao Lingyan to change the political situation, and she only kept one percent of her hard-earned money. It's hard to explain these things to your family.

So she didn't tell her family that the business was hers.

If you say that when she first crossed over, she was not familiar with the environment, she did not have enough control over her future destiny, she had no sense of security, and she did not know the temperament of the old lady, Zhu and others, and she was wary of people. So now she has completely let go of her guard and treats them as real family.

So in her heart, her money is her family's money.

She wants to use money to make money, and she also has to go to Jiangnan to buy property and move her family over. So she won't give the money to her family for the time being.

If she marries in this life, when she leaves home, she will leave half of the family property at home.

In less than ten days, Zhao Ruxi's small box with silver tickets was almost full.

She kept the accounts herself. It is clear how many iron cabinets are sent out every day and how much money is recovered. How much money she can make in ten days, she already knows in her heart.

Now she has decided to make her first dividend.

On the first day of opening, the twenty or thirty safes stored in the shop were sold out, and then the goods were cut off for three or four days, and after the new blacksmith came, the first two days were unskilled and the production capacity was low, and the number remained at seventeen or eight every day for the rest of the day. A total of 152 safes were sold in these 10 days.

After deducting the cost, each safe netted six hundred taels, and one hundred and fifty was more than ninety-one thousand taels of silver. The fraction was erased and used to reward the craftsmen, and Zhao Ruxi decided to take 90,000 taels of silver to share the dividends.

The emperor originally accounted for 20% of the shares, but he transferred the blacksmith who repaired the emperor's mausoleum, and Zhao Ruxi couldn't pretend that this had not happened. If the emperor is careful, this business will not be able to continue.

In this business, the emperor's live signboard is easy to use, and the shield is also done well, and he also took the initiative to find people, and his performance is very good. Zhao Ruxi tasted the sweetness from this cooperation, and she also planned to wait for Jade to come back, and she could also partner with the emperor to do business again.

Therefore, she counted the twenty or so blacksmiths as one share of the emperor's investment, and counted him as thirty percent of the shares, which could be divided into twenty-seven thousand taels.

The 6,000 taels of silver he invested in not only returned to the original in ten days, but also more than quadrupled. I guess he's quite happy with this business, right? It was not in vain that he worked hard as a shield, and he also sent the blacksmith who repaired the emperor's mausoleum.
