Chapter 305: What is the best thing to buy?

After Xing Shuang handed over the errand to Li Kun and Yingchun to visit the spring, he only buried himself in the accounts. Because there were attackers around him, these accounts were all in charge of the attackers. At this time, the attacker was given to Daiyu, and she had no helper, and she was dizzy for a while.

After another three days, Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan took Caiyun Caixia to transcribe all the accounts, Xing Shuang asked Jin Chuan to report the number, and Yu Chuan to calculate, but the two of them took another three days and still didn't finish the calculation.

Xing Shuang saw that this was not good, and quickly called the attacker to come over to help. Within three days, the attacker had finished settling all the accounts and reported them.

This season earned more than in previous years, of which Western goods accounted for a large proportion, even more than the whole number of three-tenths.

Xing Shuang was overjoyed when she heard this, she had always known that the price of this Western product would double as long as it entered Hong Kong, but she didn't expect that it would be five times higher than the original price when retailed.

It happened that Benjamin hadn't left, so Xing Shuang called him in, gave him the account book for verification, and gave him a share of the net profit.

Benjamin was very excited to get the silver ticket, in England, a pound is the same as a pound of silver, and when calculated with two here, a pound is equal to nine taels. In other words, the 10,000 taels of silver he has in hand now is equivalent to more than 1,100 pounds.

Don't look at the more than 1,100 pounds that seems to be a small amount, but in fact, even if a noble child lives a very luxurious life in a year, it only costs two hundred pounds. What's more, in a family like Benjamin's family, which only has a title and no property, the cost of the whole family's living expenses is only two hundred pounds a year.

On this trip, he actually got the expenses of the whole family for five years, which is not only that, this is just a dividend of one cent, and there is also five hundred taels of gold income from selling goods in front of him.

Combined, he would have earned 1,800 pounds on this trip, and as long as he was diligent and ran twice a year, he would have earned more than 3,000 pounds.

This is astronomical in England. Even the most famous nobles in the local area with the longest family history can't reach this income!

It is no wonder that so many English merchants, risking their lives, also want to run to the East, so profitable.

Seeing him excited, Xing Shuang smiled slightly, she knew better than anyone what the price of England was at this time. When I sent my son out to study, I only brought him gold because of this.

At this time, the pound had adopted the gold standard, and one pound contained seven .3 grams of pure gold. Five pounds is thirty-seven grams of gold. And one tael is fifty grams, and he brought his son a full three thousand taels of gold, which can be exchanged for twenty thousand pounds.

The £20,000 in England is already the property of the richest family in the region. Xing Shuang is not afraid of her son spending money indiscriminately, she believes more than anyone that Jia Lian is a person who can be in charge and will not waste money on unnecessary places.

Now it seems that it is also right to bring so much money to my son. With money, the son can live like a fish in water in England, and even develop his own network, which is an excellent thing for both the son and the Jia family.

It doesn't matter if the money is spent, it's good to calculate when the relationship is accounted for. No, there will be one more collaborator between the two countries immediately, and even if his son comes back in the future, he can continue to do this Western business.

"Madam, this is too much...... Benjamin was a little at a loss at this time, he had read the account book, and he also knew that the ten thousand taels were actually added by Madame, he only felt that he had taken so much money at once, and he was a little afraid to accept it.

"As we said earlier, not only do you have to eat a penny, but every time you run, you also have to pay some hard work. This includes your hard work for a year, do you think it's okay? Xing Shuang explained with a smile: "Let me count with you again and again, and I will be in trouble." The next time you come back, the hardship fee will not be given to you. ”

Benjamin hurriedly said: "This is as it should be, in fact, I run at most twice a year, even if I run back and forth non-stop, at most three times." Madame gave too much, and she won't have to give it next year. ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "This is what you said, but I didn't take advantage of you in vain." Only when you go back this time, there are still some things I have to explain to you. ”

Benjamin hurriedly said, "Madam, please speak." ”

Xing Shuang thought for a while and said euphemistically: "I heard that the goods you chose are mostly tea and porcelain?" ”

Benjamin replied: "Yes, these two are now the most sought-after goods in England. ”

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "I know this, but it's okay to say that your leather products and silverware are here, and there is water on the road, as long as the water is controlled, even if there is a loss, it is a minority."

"But this tea is very different, if the water enters, this box of tea will be wasted, and it is impossible to sell it if you want to control the water dry. The porcelain is more delicate, and it is useless if it is broken a little. ”

Benjamin thought about it carefully, although these things were now the most expensive in England, but as Madame said, the risk was too great.

"Please ask Madame for advice."

Xing Shuang continued: "In my opinion, all the tea leaves were given up and replaced with silk cloth. And even if you want to buy, don't choose the cheaper, only choose the more delicate the better. Although the finer the silk, the more expensive it is, the less the goods are more careful. When you arrive in England, those Suzhou embroideries or something, one horse can cover the cost of your family for a year. ”

When Benjamin heard that there was such a big profit, he couldn't help but be moved, and immediately agreed, and asked Xing Shuang: "The porcelain has also been returned?" ”

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "Scarcity is expensive, the cost of silk is high, and those merchants are reluctant to buy it, and it is rarely sold in England." So if you have the only one to sell, it will be a big hit. And why porcelain is sky-high in England, I am afraid that it is also because the wear and tear in it is also counted. But in fact, more and more porcelain is shipped to England, and the price of this porcelain will gradually decrease.

"And you have seen the silk that is now sold in England, and you should know what it looks like. You can see the difference between what we wear and what we wear in England. ”

Benjamin nodded, immediately understanding.

It is true that there are very few Chinese silks sold locally in England, and the patterns are also ordinary patterns. The clothes worn by Madame are so beautiful that I have never seen them in England.

What he didn't expect was that Madame saw the problem so accurately that she could grasp the problem at once. When a large number of merchants from England entered China, his goods were more exquisite than others', and he could indeed stand on an invincible trend.

"Dare to ask Madame, how should I choose?" Benjamin was a little worried: "There are so many types of silk in China, I can't tell the difference between those brocade and satin alone." ”
