Chapter 161: The Rich Merchants
"In addition to the 10,000 bottles of perfume contract, there is also a supply of saltpeter.
"Ning Gongzi knows that you don't have so much silver in your hand, so he asked you to take an IOU of saltpeter to pay for 200,000 taels of perfume."
After listening to Shen Youchu's explanation, Zhou Jingxian knew that she had thought of the wrong direction, and her heart shook suddenly, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Mr. Ning is really too considerate.
Twenty taels of perfume, and she was also allowed to use saltpeter to offset the silver.
Knowing Mr. Ning must be the greatest luck in her life.
Shen Youchu saw Zhou Jingxian who was about to cry, when had he seen her so embarrassed, he was quite distressed, grabbed her arm and shook it coquettishly: "Jingxian, look at your eyes are as red as a rabbit, sleep well after eating~~"
"Sleep, wait for me to arrange my subordinates, give the still to Mr. Ning and sleep."
Zhou Jingxian briefly skimmed through the contents of the contract.
Due to pricing, she had to extract 10,000 bottles of perfume herself.
And the production of perfume will be done in close accordance with the needs of the store first, and the delivery date is undecided, half a month at the earliest, and a month sooner or later.
Zhou Jingxian has no objection to this.
The pricing of saltpeter is temporarily based on the wholesale price of saltpeter after it is transported to Jinling, due to the output of the mine, weather, transportation loss and other reasons.
Refund more and make up less.
After Zhou Jingxian signed it, she wrote another letter to Zheng Donglin.
Let him speed up and transfer another 10,000 catties of saltpeter to Zhangjiazhuang.
Shen Youchu, who was sitting next to him, saw the content of the letter, tilted his head and asked curiously: "Jingxian, how much is a pound of saltpeter?" ”
"I remember that the saltpeter medicinal materials that were transported to Jinling to deal with impurities were sold for 50 wen a catty in summer and 40 wen a catty in the off-season."
The price of saltpeter is not very expensive among medicinal herbs.
10,000 catties of saltpeter are calculated according to the wholesale price, but in fact, it is only worth 500 taels of silver.
In other words, even if there are twenty-one bottles of perfume, you can only buy fifty bottles, and sell them on the black market, each bottle is one hundred taels, and fifty bottles can be sold for five thousand taels of silver, and after all kinds of costs, it is no problem to make a net profit of three thousand taels.
But if these 10,000 catties of saltpeter are placed in the pits, because the pits are in excellent locations, a dozen or so workers can mine them in one day.
Other words.
As long as you guard these saltpeter pits, more than a dozen workers mine, a few workers load trucks, plus transportation costs, as long as you arrive in Zhangjiazhuang and then change your hands into perfume, you will make a net profit of 3,000 taels!
"I have to write another letter to my father...... Forget it, I'll cut it first and then play it when the token is delivered. ”
It turns out that this is the joy of making money!
Zhou Jingxian knew for the first time that money could be so simple, and she instantly felt her blood boiling.
With the incentive of money, it seems that I am not so sleepy.
And Shen Youchu was also shocked by Zhou Jingxian's offer, and the sleepy insects flew away, she dragged the excited Zhou Jingxian and reminded: "Jingxian, aren't you going to open an ice drink shop?" If you are short of money, I can lend you 100,000 taels first. ”
If she remembers correctly.
Today, Ning Gongzi probably used one pound of nitrate ice to make about two catties of pure ice.
She also thought that in order to crush the ice drink in Jinling, she might make less money by selling it for half a tael of pure ice at half the price in the market.
At this time, knowing the production cost of pure ice, only twenty-five yuan per catty, she felt that her ice drink shop was more profitable than a perfume shop.
In addition to the cost, Ning Gongzi only charged her 20% of dry shares, which was somewhat of a loss.
Shen Youchu told Zhou Jingxian about this account.
Zhou Jingxian was silent for a long time, grabbed her hand, and said categorically: "Thank you Youchu, I want this 100,000 taels!" ”
In the past, Zhou Jingxian would never accept the 100,000 taels.
This is the first time.
But Zhou Jingxian knows that this may not be the last.
According to the price at which Mr. Ning sells her perfume, a pound of pure ice, sold to three ice drink shops, I don't know the external price, but their price should be about 100 wen per catty.
Even if it's 200 yuan.
A pound of pure ice can make several cups of ice drinks again, a cup of silver and a tael, and they can also rely on the scorching heat of these two months to earn millions of taels!
"At the beginning of my childhood, I not only want to open a shop in Jinling, but I also have to write a letter to my father, asking him to find a few suitable shops in Jing'an City, and then directly transport saltpeter to Jing'an City to make ice."
"By the way, I want to tell the imperial grandfather about this matter, and recommend Mr. Ning to be the imperial merchant of ice making, so that the royal manor does not have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to store ice cubes every year, and Mr. Ning can also be like making perfume, without worrying about others stealing the ice-making recipe."
Shen Youchu saw that Zhou Jingxian was so protective of Ning Wuxian, she was in a hurry to write a letter, and accidentally knocked over the ink, so she hurriedly reminded her.
"Jingxian, don't worry, only your family has a saltpeter mine in the entire Daxing, as long as you don't want to steal Mr. Ning's recipe, no one has the ability to steal his recipe, besides, isn't there still me."
Zhou Jingxian, who was wiping ink with paper, suddenly hit a spirit and calmed down.
Think about it.
Mr. Ning is a person who will not suffer.
In such a lucrative ice drink industry, he did not participate, and gave the opportunity to make a lot of money to her, Youchu and Miss Ji, and he only charged 20% of the dry shares, and how much this dry shares were given depends on their conscience.
It's hard to say it's not seeking refuge from their forces.
Exchanging saltpeter for perfume, on the surface, is to make money without capital, but in fact, why not use this to restrain her and her father?
Zhou Jingxian couldn't tell for a while, whether this was too considerate or business.
"Jingxian, don't think too much."
Shen Youchu didn't know what Zhou Jingxian's face was thinking uncertainly, she gently wrapped her arms around Zhou Jingxian's waist and rubbed the plum fragrance on her body.
"Anyway, the meat will rot in the pot sooner or later, if you protect Ning Gongzi's interests, you will be deemed to protect my interests, hehehe."
“……”
Zhou Jingxian cleaned up the table and rearranged her mood.
When you put pen to paper.
Without any personal feelings, just from the perspective of making money, let his father protect Ning Wuxian's interests.
Promote the right of saltpeter ice making to be exclusive to the Ning family.
In this way, she can protect the interests of her father's mine, so as to prevent the red-eyed Jin Wang faction from taking the opportunity to make trouble and destroying the money-making method she has so hard to find.
……
Ning Wuxian didn't know that he was just short of money, and he knew that Zhou Jingxian was short of money, so he simply bartered.
will make Zhou Jingxian think so much divergently, and has done a lot of things for him.
If he knew, he would have given a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Well done"!
The reason why he didn't think about it at all was that King Kang would plot to rob him of the saltpeter ice-making method.
Just as Zhou Jingxian thought.
As long as King Kang has a conflict with him, the Jin Wang faction will take advantage of the situation, and it is unknown who this set of vested interests belongs to.
In addition, because of the wine offering, the emperor's trust in the Ning family, in addition to having formed a Liang Zi like Zhou An, he would think of using the killer raised by Ye Laoda to get rid of him, and King Kang and him are a community of interests.
There's no need to give him a backstab.
What's more, there are also two giants of the Shen family and the Ji family involved, and they learned that Kang Wangyang violated the Yin...... Unless King Kang only cares about his immediate interests and does not care about the gains and losses of the throne, he will not be able to do this kind of stupid thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.
After Shen Youchu left, he gathered nearby villagers overnight and began to build a simple workshop on the rammed wasteland, which was used to make 50,000 bottles of perfume.
Nowadays, you don't have to hide and tuck a still, you just need to build a simple pergola that is not exposed to wind and rain.
The rest of the place to rest the perfume is in the middle of the matter.
He bought green bricks and asked nearby carpenters to cut down bamboo to make shelves.
With homemade ice for cooling, the location doesn't have to be considered near the pond.
Relying on the first-class infrastructure construction speed of the people of Daxing.
On the ground, brick houses rose in the middle of the night.
When the first rays of sunlight penetrated the apricot forest, the dappled light spots and the sweet apricot fragrance rushed in from the window of the carriage, Ning Wuxian stretched his waist and sat up, looking at the Jinling City Tower not far away, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Jinling's wealthy businessman Ning is back unharmed!"
