Chapter 62 Labor Costs

In Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, with Fang Shan's wife's pretty good craftsmanship, the embroidery completed in a month of hard work can be exchanged for more than 2 taels of silver. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Don't look at the small number, this money is enough for Fang Shan's family to eat, and there can be a little savings every month, and save until the end of the year to buy new clothes for the family to wear."

The modern space-time industrial silver ingot is 5 yuan per gram, and when converted into more than 2 taels of silver, Fang Shan's wife's monthly income is about 400 yuan, and there is a 20-fold difference in labor costs between the skilled female workers in modern time and space, which is the key to Yang Guang's huge profits.

Yang Guang took out part of the wood step by step and put it away, and drove the car to the direction of the airport, when he was on the way, he wanted to find out the phone to contact Sister Jiang, but suddenly remembered that his mobile phone was broken, and he would be in a hurry to use the space-time door and didn't care about buying a new one, which would be blind when he wanted to use it.

Turning a corner halfway, Yang Guang went to a mobile phone store to buy a business mobile phone casually, and used his ID card to reissue the original number. After going out, he contacted Sister Jiang, determined the flight time, and rushed to the airport to fly to Vientiane, Laos.

After sending out 200 square meters of sour branch logs, Yang Guang came to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this time he brought back a large number of teak, and the amount purchased locally could not be too small, but fortunately, it is a log production area after all, and the price is definitely cheaper than that of Binhai City, so that even if various costs are added, there will still be no loss, but the profit is really not much.

After finishing all this, Yang Guang, who returned to his residence in Binhai City, had time to think about how to take advantage of the low labor cost of the Ming Dynasty. Don't look at him at Fang Shan's house praising Fang Shan's wife's work, but he actually didn't have the idea of operating this kind of embroidery in his heart.

With the progress of the times, many excellent crafts in ancient times are no longer so important in modern times. Take double-sided embroidery as an example, this technique began in the Song Dynasty, and it was definitely a very rare thing at that time. In modern times, you can learn related technologies for a little tuition, and high-quality finished products abound in the market.

The top craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty must have all been confined to places like the Weaving Bureau, and they were busy making tributes to the emperor every year, so how could they be exiled to the people and be treasured by Yang Guangru? What can really be used by Yang Guang is actually similar to Fang Shan's wife, it is nothing more than making a few embroideries in his spare time and earning a little more silver to subsidize the family.

The lack of overwhelming advantages in the product will inevitably produce fierce competition with similar products, and if you want to cash out quickly, you can only rely on the low-price policy when selling wood. It is not an assembly line production, and the monthly quantity is limited, and the scale of the business cannot continue to expand. The unit price is low, the quantity cannot go up, and the final benefits must be limited, and there is no room for growth, which does not meet Yang Guang's expectations.

In Yang Guang's heart, if you want to maximize the advantages of low labor costs, you have to put aside the high-quality products and go directly. He's going to put on a Chinese knot and something like that. It doesn't take much skill or experience to make these things, you can learn it quickly if you are willing to learn and practice, and if you do more, you can become a skilled worker, and you can provide goods for Yang Guang for a long time.

Yang Guang deliberately stayed for an extra day, just to let Zhao Wen find out this information for himself, which can be regarded as a simple market research. There was no family planning in the Ming Dynasty, and the average family would not have less than two or three women who could work, so that only a few surrounding squares could gather tens of thousands of people.

This is a female worker with a salary of only 400 yuan per month, and if an enterprise in modern time and space wants to have this scale, the monthly salary expenses alone are about the same as 100 million.

Another benefit of this business is that it doesn't require the use of industrial silver ingots from the modern plane. In the Ming Dynasty, those women in Yangzhou earned money to buy rice, and Yang Guang brought rice directly from modern time and space to exchange handicrafts with them.

The amount of Huaguo rice in modern time and space is extremely large, and there is no need to find an excuse to buy hundreds of tons, which saves Yang Guang a lot of trouble. For those female workers in the Ming Dynasty, directly exchanging rice back also saved from being exploited by unscrupulous rice dealers, which can be regarded as a great joy for all.

After deciding on this plan, Yang Guang decided to find a merchant in this area online and order 100 tons of aged rice to test the water. The use of old rice instead of new rice is not a profiteer's behavior, which is also the result of Zhao Wu's investigation.

Because of the low water content and high rice production rate, it is the first choice for those women of the Ming Dynasty who are not wealthy and must be careful in their budgets. If Yang Guang really wanted to buy new rice, maybe he would be secretly complained by those women, feeling that this exchange was a loss.

In modern time and space, Huaguo attaches great importance to food safety, and even if it has been stored for 10 years, there will be no other problems except that the taste may be worse than that of the new rice.

On the contrary, some unscrupulous rice merchants in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the big buckets in and out of the small buckets, are not very well preserved, and some moldy old rice is mixed with stones and sand, which is the behavior of profiteers that people spurn.

The price of aged rice ordered by Yang Guang is very cheap, only 2 yuan per kilogram, and 100 tons together is 200,000 yuan. In the Ming Dynasty, 1 stone was equivalent to 94.4 kilograms, and these aged rice was almost 1060 stones, and the inventory of a small grain merchant in Yangzhou had this number, which was really inconspicuous.

Putting down the phone, Yang Guang was about to surf the Internet to relax for a while, but unexpectedly heard the doorbell ringing, he walked to the door of the living room and opened the door, and saw the woman in the car accident he saved that night.

"Hello Mr. Yang." The woman spoke, still so unhurried, so pleasant: "I'm really happy to see you, my little sister came to the door today to ask for something, I wonder if Mr. Yang has time to have a cup of coffee together?" ”

The beauty took the initiative to meet, of course Yang Guang would not refuse, anyway, he didn't have anything to deal with right away, so he might as well go and hear what this woman had to say, so he came to the café on the second floor with her.

The woman took a sip of coffee, and then said, "I heard that Mr. Yang, your Qifeng Company sold 10 rosewood trees to the Red Star Shipyard, and the quality is very good. I wonder if Mr. Yang has more of this rosewood in his hand? ”

After Yang Guang heard this, his first thought was that the other party was ready to use this kind of premium business to repay him for saving his life, so he shook his head and said: "This kind of wood is very difficult to get, and I only managed to get those 10 trees with great effort." ”

The woman guessed Yang Guang's mind and explained: "Actually, those two yachts were ordered by our family. I like the ancient style of the Ming Dynasty very much, and I am going to decorate my new home in Haidong District like this, but unfortunately I can't find enough huanghuali wood, so I came to Mr. Yang for help. ”
