Chapter Ninety-Six: Branch

"The Hara Mang Department has already brought in two shipments, and there are not many defective products, but the quantity is still a little less, but they are all transferred to that place according to the instructions of the owner."

Different from the bleak situation after the year, today's carriages and horses are very lively, mule and horse vehicles come and go, men sweat like rain to unload goods, whips dance flying, occasionally mixed with the sound of children playing, everyone has a smile on their faces.

Gu Huai glanced at Ren Wanbin who was following him: "This old bastard... What excuse did he use? ”

"It's said to be at war with other tribes..."

"The ambition is not small," Gu Huai sneered, "It seems that the plague is really contained, otherwise I promised that I would collect it all and then transfer it in, but now I am carrying a knife to do a business." ”

"I heard from the brothers who came back that there are a lot less Mengyuan people who have gone south to plunder at the border this year," Ren Wanbin paused, "most of them are because of the plague and the war... However, it is much more convenient for the running merchants, and their own dog-eat-dog is far from the border pass. ”

"February's monthly money has been transferred, have you sent it?"

"It's all according to the owner's orders, and it's 30% higher than last year," Ren Wanbin smiled, "Everyone said that the owner is a good person, and he is energetic in his work." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I should be a capitalist now," Gu Huai smiled with his hand, "That's right... You should know I have a shop? ”

Ren Wanbin nodded: "I know, there are a few mothers-in-law who talk about the perfume in the owner's shop every day... But I didn't buy it, but I beat my own man. ”

At this point they both laughed, and walked around a convoy of horses and horses out of the carriage and horse shop, along the collapsed and rebuilt wall.

Pufu, which was originally next to the carriage and horse shop, is now in ruins, and according to Ren Wanbin, it has become the favorite place for the children to play, and occasionally children find something rare and valuable to the adults.

It has been a while since the officers and soldiers on guard were withdrawn, and it is said that the final verdict of the political envoy was that Pu Hong was smuggling contraband, and because of the explosion caused by poor management, the family property was naturally confiscated, and those officials and generals who had been in contact with Pu Hong in the past were also unlucky.

A self-made businessman in Beiping... disappeared in Beiping like this, if it weren't for this ruin and the carriage and horse shop inherited by Gu Huai, it would be as if Pu Hong had never existed in this world.

Now that the cold winter has passed, the weather has warmed up a lot, and the cyan scribe's robe on Gu Huai's body is a little thick, which is sewn out by a small ring, which makes Gu Huai's forehead sweat slightly, and he stops:

"The carriage and horse shop only runs the business and does not do business, or is it a bit wasteful, and there are many people in the carriage and horse shop who are idle now? Can you open a trade route to the south? ”

Ren Wanbin was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head: "Dongjia, the trade route is easy to open, and it will be familiar after a few trips, but the carriage and horse shop has always been to transfer goods to the merchants in Beiping, and he can't collect it himself, otherwise he would have done it before..."

"It's not a Beiping specialty or anything like that," Gu Huai shook his head, "I know what you're talking about, transport the fur and dried meat collected from the grassland to the south, sell it on the spot to make a profit, and then buy some rouge silk from the south and ship it back, and the difference in price will be earned... But that's not what I want to ship. ”

"So what does the owner want to ship?"

"The perfume in my shop... In other words, to open branches to the south. ”

Glancing at the expression on Ren Wanbin's face, Gu Huai said angrily: "What, you think you can't make money?" ”

"That's not what it means... The owner, the mother-in-law and aunt of the perfume cart and horse shop have also seen it, it is a small bottle, and it is easy to transport it over, but why not just make it and sell it at the branch? ”

Gu Huai thought to himself, the production process of perfume is so simple that he is a trustworthy shopkeeper of Li Ziqing at the moment, if he really finds someone to open a branch in other places, I am afraid that it will not take half a year for the formula to flow out.

And he didn't just want to sell perfumes.

In this way, it is better to transport it to the branch in Beiping, although it is time-consuming and laborious, but the core competitiveness of the perfume shop will not be a problem.

In fact, this matter can be considered after returning from Jinling, when can you not earn money? It's all about to rebel, and it's useless to make too much money.

But there is a particularly serious problem at the moment... That is, Gu Huai is about to become a poor ghost again.

It seems that the income of the perfume shop is very considerable, and it can even be called a million profits, but if you think about what the perfume shop uses for the proceeds, you can see how bad the situation is at the moment.

The capital of the grassland trade is from the palace, but the carriage and horse shop is nominally cared for, and the monthly money of the men has to be paid by him, and the maintenance of the forage vehicles of mules and horses is also paid by him, which is a few hundred taels of silver per month.

Hook bar is now also a vigorous investment in silver can not see the output, I really want to make a profit I don't know how long to wait...

As for the secret spy department, not to mention, in order to win people's hearts, he had to pay out of pocket for the military funds allocated by the palace.

In this way, not only is there no money left every month, but there is also a taste of making ends meet.

So in fact, Gu Huai has been a rich man for a month... And then I was crushed by life again.

And as soon as the branch opens, you need to recruit the shopkeeper to recruit people, rent the store for decoration, and it is a lot of silver, and the money left now is not enough at all, either wait until the profit of the perfume shop next month, or you have to fight the idea of the palace.

But Zhu Di is obviously not so good at gathering wool, and it is better not to have anything to do with the palace in his shop...

Thinking like this, he sighed: "Is there anything wrong with this line of grasslands?" Have you been targeted? ”

Ren Wanbin shook his head: "No, the Hara Mang Department has a relationship with the Datong border pass, they can transport things in, over there... Zhou Chong, the captain of the guard, let go every time he saw the signboard of our carriage and horse shop, and even confiscated the previous customs fees and tolls, but when he entered Beiping, someone interrogated him, but he spent money to send it over, and when he entered the city, he was transported to the warehouse you said, and it was none of our business. ”

He thought for a while, and his tone was affirmative: "It's absolutely no problem from Yimaling to Beiping, whether you have noticed the goods when you enter the city is not sure, but they are all covered according to the instructions of the owner and not exposed." ”

"Since there is nothing wrong here, you don't have to look at it first, go to the south, take a look at every big city, choose the address of the branch and sort it out, and familiarize yourself with the business route first... Remember, it's the big city, and the smaller ones will come later. ”

"Listen to the owner's... But the owner, where is the opening to finish? ”

Gu Huai looked at the south, a little in a trance:

"Jinling."
