Chapter 133: Roasted Sweet Potatoes Also Want Datang Chain?

Facing the two of them with sad faces, Qin Fan wanted to laugh.

There are still people in the world who are worried that the money will not be spent!

"What do you think of this roasted sweet potato?"

Li Shimin took the roasted sweet potato, took a bite and said casually:

"It tastes really good, but at this time, how to use that money is more important!"

Qin Fan smiled: "If I put a price tag on one of ten copper plates, would you be willing to buy it?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but snort coldly: "Boy? You want to collect money from us! ”

Qin Fan was speechless, how bad the impression of this surnamed Sun was on himself!

"You don't care, you just answer, will you be willing to buy it?"

Li Shimin muttered: "It may be a bit expensive for ordinary people, but I think many people will be willing to buy it for this taste." ”

"And what if I sell it for eight cents?" Qin Fan asked again.

"Eight pennies?" Li Shimin thought for a while, and said again: "If this is the case, the people who are willing to buy roasted sweet potatoes will think that they will come at least thirty percent more." ”

Qin Fan nodded: "How about five cents?" ”

"Boy, what's the use of you asking this?" The eldest grandson Wuji shouted in confusion.

But Qin Fan didn't pay attention to it, just looked at Li Shimin.

"If it's Wuwen, ordinary people can enjoy it occasionally. For those with a little bit of assets, it's a cheap delicacy. ”

Qin Fan nodded: "In other words, if it is sold at the price of five cents a roasted sweet potato, it is a price that the general public is willing to accept and buy." ”

"Brother Qin, aren't you enough?" Li Shimin wondered.

After all, Du Junxuan would always report all kinds of information about Qin Fan to Li Er.

So Qin Fan would occasionally sell roasted sweet potatoes for a living, and he also knew it.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Qin Fandao:

"I bought this roasted sweet potato, you hurry up and find a way for me!"

Qin Fan's face was black.

He stuffed the silver back to the eldest grandson Wuji: "I'm not going to sell roasted sweet potatoes, I'm helping you with ideas." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was puzzled: "But what does this money have to do with roasted sweet potatoes." ”

Qin Fan pointed to the direction of several villages near Zhiwannian County, and said, "This year, I ordered the people to plant sweet potato seedlings, and by September and October, they will have a bumper harvest." ”

"In terms of the yield of sweet potatoes, the people will definitely not be able to eat it themselves!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately understood what Qin Fan meant: "Do you want the people to sell roasted sweet potatoes?" ”

"No, the government buys sweet potatoes and then organizes people to sell them."

"But you can't make a lot of money selling baked sweet potatoes!" The eldest grandson Wuji said urgently.

"Who says you can't make money? Didn't I just ask you about the price? But do you know how much it costs? Qin Fan asked.

"How much?" Li Shimin probe.

"Nothing!" Qin Fan stretched out a finger and gestured.

"Less than a penny?" Li Shimin was taken aback.

"Of course, I grew it myself, and the cost was only the coal money used to roast the sweet potatoes."

"If sweet potatoes are bought, plus labor costs, they can also be controlled within two pennies."

"Further, it takes three pennies to transport sweet potatoes to nearby states and counties and open a chain store of roasted sweet potatoes."

"Chain stores?" Li Shimin wondered.

"It's just a brand name, and there are many shops."

"For example, Zhang San's roasted sweet potatoes are called Zhang San's roasted sweet potatoes; The roasted sweet potato roasted by Li Si is called Li Si roasted sweet potato. It's not a chain. ”

"If there is a unified name, a unified standard, a unified taste. That's what a chain store is. ”

"Of course, the price will inevitably fluctuate due to different costs."

Li Shimin understood: "For example, the royal money bank, which is opened in Chang'an, is a royal money bank. ”

"Kai in Kaifeng, also called Royal Money."

"Whether it is opened in Jiangnan, or the royal money bank will not change."

Qin Fan nodded: "That's right." ”

See that the two of them understand (this chapter is not finished!) )

Meaning, Qin Fan continued: "So selling roasted sweet potatoes in Chang'an, each of them can earn three cents." ”

"And a hawker can bake two hundred in one afternoon, which is six hundred gross profits."

"If you go out all day long, you can make two dollars if the raw materials are enough, and the gross profit is 1,200 yuan."

"Even if you remove some of the losses, you can at least earn a tael of silver that day."

"There are more than 100 markets in Chang'an City, and each market can have three or four stalls for roasted sweet potatoes."

"In this way, the gross profit for a day is three hundred to four hundred taels of silver."

"This is only Chang'an City!"

"If you are expanding to the surrounding areas, or even the entire Tang Dynasty, how much silver can you earn in that day?"

"A conservative estimate can have 20,000 taels." Qin Fan concluded.

However, Li Shimin frowned: "Brother Qin, you also said just now that outside Chang'an City, you have to count the cost of transportation and storage, and this profit will have to be reduced." ”

"And there are only a handful of prosperous cities like Chang'an in the entire Tang Dynasty, and there is no way for other areas to have three or four hundred roasted sweet potato stalls appear at the same time."

Qin Fan nodded: "You're right!" If it is shipped to Jiangnan, the transportation cost alone may be more than five cents. ”

"So, in the early days, you can sell it in several nearby state capitals, so that you can make a lot of money without roasting sweet potatoes."

"In the coming year, the roasted sweet potatoes will be planted directly in the local city, so that there is no need for such high transportation costs."

"As for the question of whether the city is prosperous or not, you are right. But I've actually been calculated. ”

"If every city is like Chang'an City, then there will be at least more than 200,000 taels of silver."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was a little puzzled:

"Chang'an and other regions don't seem to be nearly ten times more surprised!"

Qin Fan said helplessly: "The yield of sweet potatoes is limited, even if all the sweet potatoes in Wannian County are collected this year, they are not sold, but used for sowing in the coming year." ”

"The sweet potatoes produced in that way are not enough for the whole Datang to buy them all year round."

"Although sweet potatoes can be transplanted with rattan, promotion is a big problem."

"That's why I conservatively estimated 20,000 taels."

"Even so, it only takes a year and a half to earn 10 million taels of silver."

"All we need to do is solve two problems."

Hearing Qin Fan calculate such a terrifying amount of profit, Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes suddenly turned red:

"Just say it! There is something that needs to be solved. ”

"First, let the entire Datang start planting sweet potatoes. In this way, the cost of transportation can be reduced! ”

Li Shimin nodded solemnly.

It is not difficult for him to promote sweet potatoes, after all, the yield and taste of sweet potatoes are there, and it is not difficult to give instructions to the people through the imperial court to let them try to grow some of them!
