Chapter 8: Three Million and Six Million

The sound of nature.

The words of the eldest prince made Zhang Dehui believe that there must be a magpie calling on the willow tree in the courtyard of the house this morning, and he didn't pay attention to it.

There is a signboard of Yanwangfu.

In the future, the thirteen families in Xishan will be the world of his Zhang family.

Who would want to share the business that can be monopolized.

"I don't know what the rules of the eldest prince are." The vigilance of the businessman did not make Zhang Dehui dizzy, and still asked subconsciously.

Zhu Gaochi is not afraid of being pitted by businessmen.

No businessman dared to pit him.

Zhang Dehui can make the business the largest one in Xishan, and he must have his extraordinary ability.

In Beiping Mansion, the name of Yanwang Mansion is easy to use.

Zhu Gaochi can promote the opening of the steam engine semi-coercively and semi-cooperatively, but the rest of the places do not mean that it is good.

Zhu Gaochi is Zhu Gaochi, and King Yan is King Yan.

Moreover, Zhu Gaochi is only fourteen years old, and his name can't bluff big families from other places.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

If you want to sell the steam engine to the whole country, you need to go to the door to promote it with the locals, and Zhu Gaochi can't run it in person.

The people in Yanwang's Mansion are too bureaucratic, and if they let them put down their bodies to talk about business, I am afraid that they will only make things worse.

Business, or only talk about profits.

Otherwise, favors come and go, and business gradually turns yellow.

If you don't get it right, it's still an enemy.

"The profit is three or seven points, and you are three and we are seven."

Thirty percent of the profits.

As long as the market matures, 10,000 steam engines in the whole world will not be enough.

The UK is a small country, and the number of local mines used is as high as more than 1,000.

How many times is Ming as British?

On the eve of the Industrial Revolution, Britain's population was less than 6 million, and 300 years ago, England had only more than 3 million.

And the current population of the Ming Dynasty is already 60 million on the Yellow Book.

Twenty times more than the UK.

The area of Shandong Province and Beiping Province is nearly twice that of England.

With a population of eight million, more than the entire United Kingdom would have lived three hundred years later.

The demand for Beiping Mansion alone, theoretically speaking, can reach nearly 1,000 units, and with Shandong, two or three thousand units is not a problem.

And the current Ming Dynasty, because of the historical legacy of the previous dynasty, the population of the south exceeds that of the north.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged immigrants from the south to the north for more than 20 years, the population of the south was still three times that of the north.

Zhang Dehui doesn't know England, but he understands Daming.

Know more about the Ming hermits.

As long as the market is cultivated and there is a signboard of Yanwangfu, the nobles will not tear their faces and imitate it, and ordinary people don't have the courage to imitate it.

A unique business, let alone only 10,000 units, it is not a problem to sell 20,000 units.

Six million taels of silver.

Deep shafts are readily available at the mine site and do not require major alterations.

Wansan was in their own mine, assembling the steam engine next to the mine, and Zhang Dehui watched the whole process.

The steam engine was twelve inches long, as tall as a child.

The most expensive thing is the big cross arm and the supporting columns.

Don't look at Zhang Dehui has been playing Tai Chi with Zhu Gaochi, in fact, he has secretly observed the steam engine for a long time.

Half an hour.

There were about 140 buckets of water pumped out.

It can pump up to 1,680 barrels of water in one day and night.

This speed is no longer something that can be achieved by human beings.

Sending people underground to carry water from a mine cave at a depth of more than ten meters, or even tens of meters, requires human lives to fill it, and if you don't pay attention to it, everyone will be gone.

And how wide the tunnel needs to be dug to be enough for people to swing out.

Instead, this steam engine.

It only takes a hole to be drilled in the ground, and with a pipe, a large amount of groundwater can be pumped up.

The selling price of three hundred taels of silver, regardless of the market environment, is acceptable.

Not counting transportation costs and expenses, the profit of a steam engine, Zhang Dehui estimated that it was as high as two hundred taels of silver.

10,000 units is 3,000,000 taels of silver.

Thirty percent of the profit is 600,000 taels of silver.

Zhang Dehui is sure.

I can't make so much money in ten lifetimes.

Even if you remove the expenses of transportation and various places, you can at least get 300,000 taels of silver.

If we can sell 20,000 units.

Warranty for 20 years, 20 years not replaced, 30 years to replace, right?

It's still a circular business.

It can be passed on to children and grandchildren.

……

The eldest prince didn't do anything, so he took the big head.

This...... It's too benevolent.

Thereupon.

Originally, most of the benefits of Wansan went to Zhang Dehui.

Wansan only took five taels of silver as a royalty.

Is it less than five taels?

That's a lot.

One hundred is five hundred taels.

Wan San's apprentices' eyes were red, and they couldn't help but be excited.

The master eats meat, and they are still afraid that they will not be able to drink the soup?

Half an apprentice.

The master beats and scolds the apprentice as a son, and of course the apprentice naturally seeks benefits from the master.

It's conventional.

A master who can't bring his apprentice out and let him start a family will be poked in the back.

The same thing.

Those who dare not respect the master and disobey the master's apprentice are not filial, and they will be spurned by the people of the world and will not be able to stay in the local area.

Zhang Dehui takes 30% of the profits.

Zhu Gaochi took seventy percent of the profits.

Wansan takes a commission, and for every one sold, he gets five taels of gold.

Everyone was happy.

All three parties are satisfied.

Taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Zhang Dehui made an excessive request.

"The name of Yan Wangfu has to be engraved on the machine, so that the people know that it is a good object made by Yan Wangfu for the people, which has been passed down through the ages."

"No, I promised Wansan, it's called Wansan Steam Engine."

"The grass people don't dare."

Wansan doesn't want to be famous.

Zhang Dehui said with a smile: "The machine is still called Wansan steam engine, but it does not prevent the name of Yanwangfu from being engraved." ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't understand, Zhang Dehui explained helplessly.

"The steam engine can be made in Wansan, others can make it as long as they look at it, and engrave the name of Yanwangfu, so that no one dares to imitate it."

Isn't it just a large pumping well, the only difficulty is the twelve-inch steaming dish.

If you do it, others will take it apart and take a look, and you will do the same.

Zhang Dehui's reminder made Zhu Gaochi understand.

Lao Ma is very good at doing business, and imitation is equally powerful.

I only thought about patents, but I didn't think that people's hearts were negligent.

Zhang Dehui's performance when he just joined made Zhu Gaochi recognize the other party's talent.

"Zhang Dongjia, the matter will be handed over to you in the future, how do you want to do this business, we will support you."

There is a specialization in technology.

The truth that Zhu Gaochi learned in his previous life is that professional things must be handed over to professional people to do, and laymen cannot guide insiders.

If you don't know how to pretend to understand, there will be problems.

With this sentence, Zhang Dehui is beautiful.

I got on the Yanwang Mansion, and in the future, the entire Xishan walked sideways by myself to see who dared to offend me.

"But let's talk ahead, we must abide by the rules of doing business in business, if we hear you behaving outside in our name, don't blame us for not being emotional."

Zhu Gaochi's voice was stern.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Zhang Dehui's heart was cold, and the sweet dream he had just had was punctured, like a frosted eggplant.

However, with such a unique business, profits alone are enough to make Zhang Dehui work hard.
