Chapter 30 A Visit to a Winery
Seeing Queen Ma say this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little curious, and he said to Lu Ning.
"Why don't we go up and experience it and see what kind of good thing this massage chair is."
As he spoke, he lay down and pressed the button according to Lu Ning's operation just now.
Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his whole body was Tongtai, which was too comfortable.
Those palace maids and eunuchs in the palace beat their legs and pinched their shoulders, where is this massage chair comfortable.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lu Ning, then took out the elder's shelf and said.
"I said Zi'an, you can't favor one over the other, get a massage chair for your aunt, I have to ask for one, you have to prepare another one for me."
Lu Ning was a little difficult, he was not reluctant, but this massage chair was signed out, and he really didn't know how to make it.
But since the uncle spoke, he had no choice, so he said.
"To say that the production process of this massage chair is too troublesome, I have been developing this one for a long time, I think you and your aunt will use one, and I will give it to you in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips, but there was no way.
However, according to Lu Ning, this thing uses electricity as kinetic energy.
And electricity is not available elsewhere, only in Changning County, because Luning has only set up a few small generators here.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand the principle of electricity, he knew that when this energy source would definitely run out, the massage chair would no longer be able to be used without electricity.
Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Lu Ning told him.
"There is no need to worry about this, the battery that comes with the massage chair is removable, and it can be used for about ten days each charge, and then people can bring the battery to charge."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, he thought to himself, when the time comes, he won't have to send someone to recharge, and he will come over once in a while.
It also happens that there is more contact with Lu Ning from the beginning, this world-class talent, every time they meet, they will give themselves a new understanding.
After negotiating the matter of the massage chair, Lu Ning said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"My eldest brother and uncle drank the wine I made last time, I don't know if I still have an impression, I just built a winery here, you can go and have a look!"
When it came to wine, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel like he was hooked again.
As an emperor, I haven't tasted any fine wine in the world, but I am still amazed by Lu Ning's wine.
"Okay, let's go to your winery with your aunt and eldest brother to see if this wine can be sold for a good price."
Lu Ning took Zhu Yuanzhang and others to the winery and saw that someone was brewing here.
There are also many finished wines that have already been loaded, which are placed in front of the counter, and many people are queuing up to buy them.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lu Ning with a smile.
"The best wine in the world can be sold for 300 wen a pound now, I don't know what the price of your wine is?"
Lu Ning looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile, and said after selling a pass.
"Why don't you let my uncle guess how my wine is sold?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, since Lu Ning would say this, the price of this wine must be more than three hundred Wen, so he said it directly.
"In my opinion, this wine is so fragrant and mellow, and it is so delicious and free of impurities, it must be able to sell for a good price, about 400 yuan."
Lu Ning smiled indifferently and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Uncle guessed almost, I don't bargain for 600 wen a pound of wine, and it has always been in short supply, and it can only be brewed 5,000 catties a day every time, and it will basically be sold out in half a day."
Zhu Yuanzhang roughly calculated that if 600 wen a catty, it could be sold for 5,000 catties a day, it would be 3,000 taels of silver.
He thought about it for a moment and asked the most crucial question.
"How much does it cost you to make 5,000 pounds of wine a day?"
Lu Ning replied directly.
"I give the workers the highest price, and the best grapes are purchased, but the cost is still very low, about the cost of 5,000 catties is only 400 taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others next to them were all shocked.
There were 3,000 taels of silver coming in every day, but the cost was only 400 taels, which means that the net profit the day before yesterday was 2,600 taels.
As far as a businessman is concerned, this should be considered a windfall profit.
There are such entries every day, and the profit in a month is about 80,000 taels, and this alone can make him the richest man in the county.
And this is just one of Lu Ning's many industries, with such industries and inputs, no wonder he has to be willing to enter the court as an official.
Lu Ning glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and roughly understood his thoughts, so he said with a smile.
"Uncle, this is just to use wine as a customer audience in these counties of Changzhou, if it is promoted, it is far more than this profit."
Zhu Yuanzhang carefully calculated, sure enough, if this wine is sold all over the country, then the profit is not only considerable, it is simply an astronomical amount.
Lu Ning saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and hurriedly said to him.
"Uncle, if you are interested, I can tell you how to make wine, and you can try it in Yingtianfu when you go back, and make sure you make a lot of money."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then said to Lu Ning.
"Zi'an has a way to make money, I am happy for you, but the way of the valley is still not elegant in my Ming Dynasty, after all, our Ming Dynasty is based on agriculture."
Lu Ning smiled indifferently, and he told Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Uncle's words are biased, but we have time to talk about this slowly."
