182: Are you trying to trick me?
What is it that restricts Cheng Qing from making a lot of money?
It's the yield!
She can't buy all the land in Nanyi and plant flowers, first, she has no capital, and second, the court does not allow it.
Nongsang is fundamental, the common people don't grow grain anymore, what do they take to pay grain to the court?
Without the grain paid by the people, the court can't help the disaster, and it can't afford to raise a huge army, if you give up growing grain when you see the economic benefits of planting flowers, it will shake the country, and the court will not care whether Cheng Qing is the son of a loyal minister, and the first thing to clean up is her, and no one can keep it.
Those who grow mulberry and tea cannot choose fertile soil, and the same is true for Cheng Qing to plant flowers.
She can buy mountain land, buy thin fields, and expand the area of rose cultivation, but it is limited to this [Bayi Chinese Net].
"We can produce 400 bottles a year, and by the year after, we can double the production. If you don't think you have much money, you can hire someone to grow flowers elsewhere, and as long as you have the raw materials, I can extract the perfume for you. ”
There are 400 bottles a year, which is 8,000 taels of silver.
The cost is borne by Cheng Qing, the initial investment in planting flowers includes buying land or something, the technology of extracting the fragrance is hers, and the formula is also hers, so Cheng Qing naturally wants to take the lion's share of the profits.
However, she is only responsible for production, not sales, which saves a lot of things, and does not press Cui Yan's side hard, she accounts for sixty percent of the profits, and Cui Yan accounts for forty percent.
After mass production, Cheng Qing found that the cost of a bottle of fragrant dew is only five taels a day, including packaging and labor.
If you sell a bottle, you will earn fifteen taels.
She can divide 9 taels and produce 400 bottles a year, which is more than 3,000 taels.
The He family weaving workshop casually dealt with a batch of satin for her, and she could make so much profit when she sold it, it sounded like Cheng Qing was thankless, and she didn't make money with easy silver, so she wanted to do some rose planting.
But if you think about it, is she really stupid?
The barren hill where roses are planted originally did not produce anything, and Cheng Qing turned the treasure into waste, except for the silver invested in the early stage, it was all income in the later stage.
Now she produces 400 bottles a year, and the year after that, the roses she planted in other corner mountains have also bloomed, and the yield has at least doubled, if it is good, to 1,000 bottles.
If it is still based on the current selling price and the current share, this business can make Cheng Qing have an income of eight or nine thousand taels of silver a year.
If she makes money behind the He family's weaving mill, or is taken care of by the clan and allows her to intervene in the fabric business, she can also earn so much silver, or even more than that.
But that's always someone else's food.
With short hands and soft mouths, even when it comes to making money, Cheng Qing likes to take the initiative...... She can't really eat He Wan's soft rice, she earns eight or nine thousand taels of silver this year, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
The fragrance dew business, no one in Nanyi County has done it before, and Cheng Qing does not touch anyone's interests.
The roses on the mountain, when they open, are gorgeous, and after they are made into fragrant dew, they are all small bottles, and no one sees them when they are transported from Nanyi to Yangzhou and other prosperous places to sell, such a good business, such a business that suits her current identity, she is naturally satisfied.
Cheng Qing is determined to be in her career, she doesn't want these things to occupy too much energy, she doesn't want to expand the scale of planting, and when the business grows, others will be hot, so she will have to fight wits and courage with those old fritters, why make herself so tired!
Therefore, she will not expand the scale anymore, and the output of 1,000 bottles is Cheng Qing's plan.
easily earned the silver, seven or eight thousand taels of silver a year, enough for the three sisters of the Liu family and Cheng Hui, and it was also in line with her family's current situation.
However, she is satisfied, Cui Yan may not be satisfied.
Although this kid is a wealthy businessman, he has never lacked silver, but in the end, the silver is not earned by his own hands, and when he tastes the joy of making money for the first time, Cui Yan may not be able to accept it.
If you earn a few thousand taels, you can earn tens of thousands of taels by working hard.
No matter how hard you work, 10,000 will become 20,000.
The Cui family is rich, and tens of thousands of taels of silver are also quite weighty.
This state of mind, this kind of unspeakable happiness, Cheng Qing himself has felt it, but he can't criticize Cui Yan.
Cui Yan is only a teenager.
How many people can control greed in their teens?
You have to feel it yourself before you know how to step on the brakes.
So Cheng Qing not only stopped Cui Yan, but also told Cui Yan that she could plant flowers elsewhere, as long as there were raw materials, she could process rose fragrance on her behalf, and only charge a cost-
Young man, what a good condition, why don't you say yes quickly?
Cheng Qing looked at Cui Yan with a smile, and Cui Yan felt furious.
“…… Are you trying to trick me? ”
"Nonsense, we are good brothers, I will not pit you anyone. If you want to provide raw materials, I will process them for you, if you are troublesome, I can also sell the fragrance dew to you in batches, I will give you 15 taels of silver a bottle, I don't care how much silver you take to sell, you lose your own responsibility, it is your ability to earn more, how? ”
Cheng Qing was slowly tempted, and Cui Yan was obviously a little moved.
Cheng Qing persuaded him again, "A bottle of Big Food Rose Dew can be sold for dozens of taels, if you work hard, the products produced in my village may also be sold at that price." ”
Is it?
I always feel weird.
He took the goods from Cheng Qing's hands, and he was responsible for his own profits and losses when he sold more and less, with his ability, through the channels of the Cui family, he could sell those fragrances to more than fifty taels a bottle!
Only one Yangzhou can easily digest a thousand bottles of fragrance in a year, if it is like Cheng Qing said, he will find other places to expand the cultivation of roses......
Cui Yan dreamed for a while, and suddenly reacted: No, he made money, but he broke up the relationship with Cheng Qingsheng, and they changed from a partnership to supply and demand!
Cui Yan's sweet dream woke up most of the time.
There is still a small half, and it was a few days later, when the results of the monthly examination in July came out, that I was completely awakened.
After being promoted to class B, I still can't escape the monthly exam.
Originally, compared with more than 200 people in the T-shaped class, in the B-shaped class, the total number of people ranked has decreased, but the competition has become more intense.
Originally, there were 92 students in Class B.
In last year's college examination, Cheng Qing's group went to the examination, and 19 people in the entire academy won the fame of showing talent, and in this year's college examination, 17 people were promoted to class B. There was no township test last year and this year, and no one in class B could be promoted to class A, and the number of people in the old class did not change, plus the two batches last year and this year, there were a total of 126 students in class B.
Among these 126 students, there are those like Cheng Jue, who were only admitted to the examination two years earlier than Cheng Qing.
There are also three or five years earlier, and even entered the academy with the same batch as Meng Huaijin, and Meng Huaijin has become a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and these old classmates are still stranded in the B class and have not been lifted.
Of course, there is enough academic level, but if you want to achieve a better ranking in the township examination, you must be more sure to refer to it, that is, personal choice.
In short, the students in Class B are both old and new, and none of them are easy to underestimate.
Like Cheng Jue, he can be within the top 20 of the B class all year round, and he has played well, and he can break into the top ten from time to time.
Like Yu San, after being promoted last year, he could only take the exam for seventy or eighty at the beginning. The situation has improved a lot this year, and this time, Yu San was even admitted to the top 30.
In order not to fall into the name of Xiao Sanyuan, Cheng Qing has never slackened when he arrived in the B class, but he can only ensure that he will not fall out of the top ten.
Cui Yan was influenced by Cheng Qing and was very diligent in his studies, and he climbed into the top 30 earlier than Yu San - that was last month, and as soon as the July results came out, Cui Yan was dumbfounded.
He fell out of the top 50 all at once!
- He didn't do anything to kill people and set fires, but he occasionally wandered between classes to think about the fragrance business.
