Chapter 45: It's all for me
"If we want to survive, we must upgrade our industry and make more profits. Only by making more money can we raise enough craftsmen and make our business bigger and stronger! ”
Just by processing military rations and sewing purses, the profits are meager, to put it bluntly, it is a sweatshop. Tired half to death and earning not much money, it's no wonder that the workers run. This is the same as "so-and-so Kang", which can't keep people.
Of course, Liu Chun is reluctant to do this, but with the current accumulation of wealth, it is really difficult to engage in industrial upgrading.
"So we have to take a gamble! Let's be ruthless! ”
Liu Chun swore to Liu San and said.
But the third master couldn't listen to a word, he just wanted to ask Liu Chun one thing: what about the title deed? What about the title deed? Where are all those shops?
The third master was busy all day, wanted to see his property, and then fell asleep with peace of mind, but only saw an empty box, can the third master not be in a hurry?
"Princess Yan gave us Guo Shoujing's old house, and Jinyiwei gave me the Sancheng grain store in Beiping! Now I'm going to ask you a word, boy! Where have they gone? ”
"Don't worry, I'll use it!" Liu Chun said calmly.
"What?"
The third master is really going crazy!
With such a loser son on the stall, no one can stand it!
At the beginning, Zhu Di gave them the property of the Lu family, and Liu Chun said that he couldn't owe King Yan, so he treated Tiandu as wages and gave it to the workers, and the third master recognized it!
But this time, the house and the store are gone again!
Are you a businessman, or a loser?
If you continue like this, it won't be long before you lose all your pants! The third master forcibly suppressed his anger and persuaded patiently: "Stinky boy, you are young and want to do great things, but you also want to have a snack!" You can't just because King Yan is good to you, you can't lose all our family resources, it's not worth it! ”
The third master is bitter, and Zhu Di is also a son-in-law, just throw the two sons over, and get a Miss Xu, who seems to attach great importance to her son and is a confidant, but the rice still has to be eaten in a separate pot.
The so-called death of a confidant must first be sure that he is a confidant!
Didn't the stinky boy say before that he wanted to start his own business and not rely on others, but what's wrong now?
"You kid tell me the truth, did you take the money to fill the hole? Did you give money for all the military rations and gunpowder? The third master pulled Liu Chun to his side, lowered his voice, and said viciously: "Don't be afraid, you tell me the truth, I am also a Jinyi guard, if they dare to repay the debt, they will stab the lawsuit to Your Majesty!" "The third master thought about it, it seems that the court doesn't owe money, so where will the money be spent?
The third master thought of a possibility, "Have you sold all those houses and shops and are ready to pay your wages?" I also know that workers are not easy to find, but just giving more money is not the way! ”
This is the biggest possibility that the third master has thought of.
Liu Chun waved his hand again and again, Dad, you think of me too honestly, right?
repay Zhu Di, dream of it!
It's time for Zhu Di to repay me, Xu Miaojin doesn't believe in Buddhism anymore, maybe he can realize his long-cherished wish and marry his sister-in-law into the palace!
Liu Chun secretly scolded, "Dad, I mortgaged the property and shop, but I don't plan to use it to hire workers." ”
"So, what are you going to do?" The third master was puzzled.
Liu Chun smiled and said: "You go to a place with me, and you will know when you arrive!" ”
Liu Chun left the residence with the third master and walked quickly to a warehouse area, which was originally a temporary storage of grain, a large open space...... At this moment, truckloads of goods are being delivered.
The third master widened his eyes, looked carefully, and lifted the grass curtain, all of them were black stones!
Liu San almost wanted to cry!
This kid must be crazy again!
What are you doing with so many rocks?
Want to build a house?
Liu Chun stepped forward, grabbed a stone, and took out a magnet stone from his pocket, when they approached each other, the stones obviously moved, and they could actually attract each other!
It's amazing!
The third master exclaimed: "Is there a mystery in this stone? ”
"There's a mystery!"
Liu Chun went to his father and showed him the stone.
"It's the best magnetite!"
"Magnetite?"
"It's iron ore that attracts magnets...... To put it more bluntly, this thing can make iron! ”
The third master finally remembered, swallowed and foamed, and hesitated: "Boy, you said that you want to build an iron-smelting workshop with an annual output of 100,000 catties, why haven't you acted these days?" ”
The third master looked at the carriage in front of him again, there were dozens of them, and it seemed that there were too many.
"Do you need so much iron ore?" The third master grabbed his temples and said puzzledly: "Can't you buy less first, make money, and then buy iron ore?" ”
Liu Chun couldn't help laughing, the third master was annoyed, and shouted angrily: "Rabbit cub, you laugh at being a father, right?" ”
Liu Chun hurriedly begged for mercy, "Dad, it's good that you think so, it's just too slow." ”
"What do you mean?" The third master shouted angrily.
Liu Chun smiled and said: "What do you think, in this Northern Expedition, King Yan has already won Jinshan, and the big victory is imminent, and the recovery of Liaodong is almost a foregone conclusion!" ”
The third master said in a deep voice: "You mentioned this, but what does this iron ore have to do with it?" ”
"It's a big deal!" Liu Chun said: "Naha has 200,000 soldiers alone, and he has recruited so many people, do you want to arrange a livelihood for them?" Do you want to give out farm tools? ”
Liu Chun said with a smile: "For the time being, our workshop can't use so much iron ore, but there are so many more people, just a big iron pot!" It can make the iron price in Peking more than double! ”
"I'm stockpiling more iron ore now, and then I can sell it at a high price, and I can cut it from other workshops first! Moreover, if my iron ore is cheap, the cost of ironmaking will be low, and the iron tools produced will be sold cheaper. ”
"High quality and low price, in a short period of time, we can control the steel market in Beiping! Think about it, how much windfall profit is there? ”
Black!
What a black heart!
This little rabbit cub can do anything in order to make money!
But the third master just wants to say: Well done!
Doing business is like this, whoever can grasp the opportunity will make a lot of money.
Liu Chun mortgaged all the properties, and took out the money he had earned in recent days, and he also borrowed a lot of money from the Xu family and scraped together 300,000 yuan in treasure money!
"Right now, in the whole of Hebei, eighty percent of the iron ore is in my hands, as much as five million catties!"
"How much?"
The third master only felt dizzy, and panicked again.
This boy was so crazy that he put all his possessions on the house and bought a whole lot of stones!
If the Ming army does not go well, or Nahachu is unwilling to surrender, or the price of iron does not rise...... Aren't you going to go bankrupt?
Liu Chun shrugged his shoulders, "Anything is risky, not to mention that I am full of confidence in this Northern Expedition, after all, it is the information that my father gave his life to get, and it will not be wrong!" ”
"Pour me less ecstasy soup!"
The third master is not fooled, who can say well about the future, what if something happens? How is the son's approach different from that of a gambler? The third master squatted on the ground and sulked.
"I can't do it, if I don't do this, I won't be able to earn the first pot of gold!"
Liu Chun bowed, "Dad, let's still think about what will happen after success...... For example, the imperial court recruited Naha, and to settle hundreds of thousands of people, we had to place a big order for us! We will be able to make a lot of money, and soon we will have the financial resources to marry Miss Feng, you are talented and beautiful, and you are born a ......."
"That's it!"
The third master gave Liu Chun a fist hard, and scolded angrily: "You kid will dream!" It is said that hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court, King Yan and Song Guogong, are all working for you! ”
Liu Chun was stunned, Dad, it's really to the point! I know all his trade secrets!
At this moment, a horse rushed into Baiyangkou, and the person on horseback was the soldier Lan Yong who was rescued by Liu Chun!
"Young Master Liu, our army has won a great victory, so Yuan Taiwei Naha surrendered!"
