Chapter 47 Means of Making Money
As soon as Zhen Qian returned home, he immediately came to Wang Qun to discuss, and told him about the purchase of more than 140 stone soju by Hu merchants today, and then said: "Hearing the conversation of these Hu merchants, I suddenly remembered one thing, we are selling soju in Zhending, the market is still too small, and it is probably not easy for a restaurant to sell two or three hundred stones a year, but Hu Shang is more than 100 stone in one mouth, if we can promote shochu to other states and counties, even if a place can only sell dozens of stones a year, but there are many states and counties, and the quantity is also very considerable. I don't know what Uncle Wang thinks? ”
"Da Lang's idea is good", Wang Qun first affirmed, and then changed the conversation: "I don't know if Da Lang has thought about it, if I come forward to contact those merchants in Zhending, I'm afraid that the secret of the soju from the Zhen family will not be kept!" ”
Zhen Qian immediately realized that Wang Qun's words were right, and said unwillingly: "If Uncle Wang doesn't come forward, and I can't come forward, those merchants in Zhending may not be willing to help sell soju, what can I do?" ”
Wang Qun pondered for a moment and said: "It's not that there is no way, if I secretly contact one or two merchants, and then these merchants come forward to contact other merchants, it should be able to say that a lot of merchants will be able to test the waters, but we have to take out a part ......of the profits."
Isn't this the general agent of the future generations?
Of course, this kind of term has not yet appeared in Datang, Zhen Qian is not exclusive to this marketing method, after all, it is impossible for his hand to reach all over Datang, and the network is not as good as these businessmen, and immediately agreed: "Just like this, we can give those merchants according to eighty percent of the price of wine, as for these merchants, we only need seventy percent of the wine price, and we will not care what price they sell to other merchants, we only require a stable sales volume, the only condition is that it cannot be sold in Hengzhou Prefecture and County!" ”
The business operation model of the Tang Dynasty is not less than that of later generations, but there is no systematic theory, Zhen Qian and Wang Qun explained the sales model of the general agent, although it is not yet possible to implement, but Wang Qun has such a concept, and it is much easier to do things.
"Isn't the general agent in this region looking for a general agent in each state or every province, how to identify these people, and how to manage them, Da Lang can consider it?"
"This matter is not in a hurry, I can write a general agency charter first, Uncle Wang first look at it, now is not the time to implement the general agent, first contact the two businessmen you said, they may also have some concerns, the remaining half of the year can also contact a little more businessmen, if I can leave the Zhen family this year, next year we can first promote this mode of operation in several surrounding states."
The recognition of shochu in the market is not high, even if the general agent model is launched, most of them will die, it is better to wait for half a year.
The two discussed how to increase the production of soju again, during this time, the courtyard was full of strong liquor, and if it continued like this, I am afraid that the Zhen family will really discover this secret, fortunately, the distillery on the Qin family's side is about to be completed, and Zhen Qian is also ready to move the distillation workshop outside the city first, so that the bulk business of soju will not need to be traded in the city in the future, reducing the exploitation of goods when entering the city.
"What's the news from the slave market?"
Zhen Qian asked Wang Qun to go to the slave market to find Cao Renyi, a slave trader, to buy slaves who could weave and carpenter's crafts, and twenty days had passed, and he hadn't heard any news from Wang Qun, so he couldn't help but get anxious.
"Da Lang, I can't remember this kind of thing, the slaves who generally know how to craft have either been intercepted by the government, or they have been booked a long time ago, Cao Renyi is already asking someone to ask, and there will be news soon!"
Zhen Qian sighed secretly in his heart, no matter what era it is, people with craftsmanship are very popular, even if they have become slaves.
"And what about the children under the age of sixteen I want?"
"There are a lot of these, but Da Lang's conditions are a bit harsh, he has to be clever and well-behaved, he has no family, and he has to be innocent in family affairs, it is difficult to find such a child, Cao Renyi has four or five there, and it may not be easy to get together twenty!"
"Four or five is four or five! You asked people to take these children to the Song family outside the city to settle first, and let Cao Renyi help to step up the search? ”
Wang Qun didn't say anything, but he muttered vigorously in his heart, everyone else is buying slaves who can work, or craftsmen with skills, or handmaidens and singers, when they come to Zhen Qian, they want dolls that have not grown up yet, although the price is cheap, what can they do when they buy it, even if they serve people, they may have to learn from scratch, I really don't know what Zhen Qian is thinking in his heart.
Before the two broke up, Zhen Qian suddenly said: "Uncle Wang, help me buy a few truckloads of saltpeter during this time, and I will be useful after a while?" ”
Wang Qun nodded, and did not ask Zhen Qian what he wanted saltpeter to do, although he was very curious, but there were too many strange things on Zhen Qian's body, and there were many of them.
Walking up to the small building, I saw Xiaozhu and Xiaomei taking Song Yi's granddaughter there to "split and crack" and make calculations, and saw Zhen Qian push the door and walk in, showing a smile to Zhen Qian.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
Xiaozhu waved the account book on the table and said: "Lang Jun, the business of Zuixianlou has been good in the past three days, except for the drinks, the turnover has reached three or four times a day, and at this rate, the annual turnover can exceed a thousand times, aren't you happy?" ”
"It's only a thousand, and it's still a turnover of ......", Zhen Qian was speechless for a moment, what was the joy of this, but he didn't want to hit the two little girls and said: "Yes, this is indeed much stronger than the small restaurant of the Song family at that time."
Or Xiaomei observed the words and found that there was no joy on Zhen Qian's face, "What?" Lang Jun is still not satisfied? ”
Zhen Qian sat down, picked up the quilt and took a sip of cold boiled water: "Then you tell me, in addition to the turnover of three or four times in the past few days, how much can we earn?" ”
Xiaozhu was silent now, Xiaomei fiddled with the abacus, and said with the potential of a housekeeper: "Before the opening, Zuixianlou owed a lot of money to businessmen, about eighty-three yuan, if this money is not counted, just considering the turnover, ingredients, and labor costs, Zuixianlou can earn about one hundred and eighty yuan a day, and it is more than six hundred and fifty yuan a year?" ”
"Really?"
Zhen Qian smiled and said: "You have also undercalculated an account, the normal commercial tax and black and white rewards, at least 200 yuan a year, even if we don't consider the depreciation of the restaurant, just consider the future development, now the top ten restaurants in Zhending will be more than 2,000 yuan each, how long will it take us to squeeze the drunken immortal building into the top ten ...... Zhending."
The two little girls were immediately a little dumbfounded, the two had never been in contact with these things before, and suddenly when they heard Zhen Qian say this, they immediately realized that doing business was much more complicated than they imagined.
Just when the two little girls didn't know how to answer, Song Yi's granddaughter Song Qian on the side said: "Zhen Lang is not right to settle accounts like this, if it is said that Drunken Immortal Mansion can buy the top ten restaurants in six or seven years now, such a speed is not slow, how can it be a good thing to get rich overnight in business?" ”
was taught a lesson by the little girl, Zhen Qian felt that he was usually too easy to talk, and Song Qian had only been following for less than a month before she knew that she could refute herself face to face.
"You're right!" Zhen Qian didn't get angry at Song Qian's rebuttal, this little girl has a lot of business potential, if she is put in the future to hone for a period of time, she will definitely be a strong woman, "Don't wait for me, seize the day, you still don't understand this sentence, but if you want to make money in business, it's not impossible to get rich overnight, Xiaomei might as well tell Xiaoqian about the business of the winery!" ”
The operation of the winery belongs to Zhen Qian's secret, even Wang Qun and Song Yi are not clear, and Song Qian is even more impossible to know.
Song Qian was even more speechless with her mouth open, she didn't know what it meant now, but she soon knew why Zhen Qian would reveal the secret to herself.
Xiaomei took out a locked iron box from the cabinet, opened the iron box and took out an account book, and said with some reluctance: "Lang Jun spent fifteen times before and after making various wine-making tools, and signed a sales contract with other wine shops, and provided us with one hundred stone turbid wine every month, plus a total of thirty-five yuan of freight fees, if all the hundred stone turbid wine is made into shochu, ninety stone soju can be processed, of which fifteen stones for the first song, fifty-five stones for the second song, and thirty stones for the third song, if calculated according to the price of the liquor sold in the drunken immortal building, Ninety stone shochu can be sold for more than 190 guan, and in addition to various other expenses, it can earn 160 kan......".
Song Qian couldn't believe her ears, the one hundred stone turbid wine she bought from other liquor stores could be transferred to one hundred and sixty guan immediately after processing, which was equivalent to a fivefold increase in profit at once, such a speed of making money was simply a miracle.
Xiaomei on the side continued: "If we don't buy turbid liquor from other liquor stores and brew it ourselves, we can earn more than 20 yuan of 100 stone shochu, and Lang Jun's wine-making process is still improving, and when preparing to make wine, we do not use grain, but use lower-priced grains, so that the profit of every 100 stone shochu can exceed 200 yuan, Lang Jun also said that the more the shochu is stored, the more fragrant it is, the wine after cellaring will be more mellow, and the price of the wine will at least double, and then the soju will really be a daily gold!" ”
Song Qian's brain was almost unable to calculate, when she saw that Zhen Qian had brewed more than 100 stone of soju in a month, that is to say, Zhen Qian could easily earn more than 2,000 yuan a year, which was a fantasy for a craftsman family like Song Yi.
"Listening to Sister Xiaomei say this, wouldn't Zhen Lang be able to buy a restaurant that is really in the top ten in a year?"
Zhen Qian knew that a peasant girl like Song Qian, if she could save dozens of guan a year, she would already be crazy, but everyone's vision is different, such as the Zhen family, the daily expenses of a year have reached five or six thousand, and Song Qian is scared to death if she is not alive.
"Look at your unproductive appearance", Xiaomei smiled: "Thousands of times you think Lang Jun can see the eyes, in Lang Jun's words, you have to look farther, the farther you look, the wider the road under your feet......
