Chapter 94 Business Must Be Fire
Miss Li generously took her with her, and was "picked up" by He Li Bo and returned to Meyer's house. When the house had a happy and simple reunion banquet, the house still called Li Enxi Miss Li. After all, neither of He Li and Li Enxi is from Song. It seems that they are used to calling them.
According to the regulations of the king, it is time for the centralized meeting at the end of the month: this council hall carefully arranged next to the king of Meyer's mansion is like our modern conference room, a long table. Next to the king, the king, who returned to the Song Dynasty to realize the dream of "the boss", sat at the end of the table. On both sides sat He Libo, Lu Shenyan, Li Enxi, Yin Shijie, Yu Danian, Cai Jing, and Cui Fu and Rouge Tiger sitting at the end.
Li Enxi's deep memory of Wang is her mental arithmetic and her ** on numbers. Miss Li Enxi looked at the books reported everywhere several times, then gently put the books on the table and looked up at the king. The accounts are very clear everywhere. The king nodded. He looked around at the others present.
These people have their respective duties. He Libo is a coal factory in the northwest of Beijing, and Lu Shenyan is a southeast tea factory. Yin Shijie paid the accounts this month and reported two new empty land west of Yan'an on the Yellow River. It is said that old man Li Jian is very optimistic about the coal reserves of the two plots of land. And the low price is not expensive. Now there are many people going to apply in Jinxiang Mansion, so the manpower should be sent.
Wang Bion knows that this is a refinement of the division of labor, the work efficiency is improved, and the staffing is reasonable, and the labor force is streamlined, so that he has the energy to develop other places. Wang looked at the map drawn by Yu Danian and Yin Shijie, and then looked at the amount of mining and labor calculated by the two according to his instructions. He felt that they were very reasonable, so he signed the approval and asked them to do it specifically. He would pass by when he went to Xixia at the end of the autumn examination.
Lu Shenyan, a tea farm in the southwest, reported that the third season of tea was about to arrive, and there was still some inventory in the second season. Moreover, it turned out that he sold ten catties of tea and gave a set of tea sets. Although it was popular at that time, it would take some time to digest. Lu Shenyan seemed to be very worried about the backlog of tea, so he frowned and consulted the king: "Sir, do you want to reduce the amount from Jianzhou?"
Wang side glanced at Cai Jing. This fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager was looking at everyone who spoke with his shrewd eyes. Wang side couldn't help thinking that this boy was born to be good at observing words. Cai Jing's eyes happened to see Wang, and he saw that Wang was looking at himself.
Wang asked, "Mr. Yuan, you are familiar with the tea in Jianzhou. Tell me about it."
Seeing Wang's side talking, Cai Jing straightened up his waist, cleared his throat, and said in his slightly childish voice, "Some of the tea in Jianzhou are picked in three seasons. I see that there is no need to set less. Some inventory can prevent the breakage."
Lu Shenyan turned his head to look at Cai Jing. The child was not big, but Yunxuan was usually watched by Cai Jing there. Although he was young, he did things in an orderly manner, and Cai Jing's calligraphy and paintings were often appreciated by those literati, and Yunxuan had a place for him. And when it comes to the tea in Jianzhou, Cai Jing naturally has a say among these people. Lu Shenyan has his own considerations: "If you don't sell more at this time, then if it comes to new tea, the last season's tea will be sold cheaply"
"Well..." Cai Jing also has his own suggestion: "Why do you need to sell it cheaply? The price of new tea needs to be increased. It's natural to buy old tea cheaply, and it can be divided into grades."
Wang Zan smiled secretly in his heart. The boy was really greedy. Both of them looked at Wang and waited for Wang to speak. Wang saw that Miss Li shook his head, as if he disagreed with what they said, so he asked, "Miss Li has a good opinion."
Miss Li said, "Even if the price increase is only temporary, now most of the people who go to the tea market to buy tea are tea restaurants and the people in the city. You see, so many people in this teahouse are selling tea. If you are not busy, you will be idle. The expenses are paid manually to deal with the purchase and sale of various teahouses. It's better to find three or two teahouses to make them more profits. Sell it for us, so that the tea factory is only for large households, and even selling tea and sub-packing can save at least a dozen workers than now.
Wang knows that what Li Enxi said is reasonable. These more than a dozen labors are a hundred taels of silver every month, and it is also a small expense in a year. However, Wang has calculated that Bianjing City must deal with it in person at present. If it is handed over to the sub-point agency, the brand that has just been launched will cheat because of the tea tax merchants. There is no tea tax on self-use tea in this tea shop, but if this tax cannot be avoided, it is now popularized first.
"What Miss Li said makes sense, but these inventory are not a problem at present. If the emperor can approve us to open more states next year, then Miss Li's suggestion can be used. While praising Li Enxi's idea, Wang side put aside the discussion for the time being, but he saw that Li Enxi frowned slightly. Doesn't she have anything to say?
"Mr. Lu, stop giving away tea sets now, and tea sets can also be sold according to grades." The king ordered it like this.
"Yes, if you buy more tea sets, you will get a gift. Civilians can't buy so much. If you buy so much, you won't taste it. It's also good for you to sell tea sets alone." Lu Shen praised it, and at the same time, he brushed the dots on the paper in front of him to record it.
This is also explained by the king. At each monthly meeting, important things must be recorded. Fortunately, everyone here is literate. Even Xiao Lu and Cui Fu can write a few strokes.
Yunxuan doesn't have to say anything. Wang knows that it's time to throw money in, but there are still dozens of silver medals in his hand, and the market price is also one hundred taels. After this autumn examination, it will definitely rise sharply. But Wang is not selling silver medals.
He looked at Cui Fu. The old shopkeeper was flattered and always listened carefully. Seeing Wang Jian saw himself, he hurriedly smiled and said, "With the blessing of my son, the business of Jinxiu Building is booming now, but it's not a big deal. It's just that there are always colleagues digging up the wall and want to hire our chef with a high salary.
"This is normal. Everyone wants business to be prosperous. How should the old shopkeeper deal with it?" Wang asked with a smile.
"Well, we don't have to deal with it at all. We do a good job as a cook. We have the opportunity to enter the official eunuch's house, and we may also have the opportunity to be a royal chef. Not to mention that we have rewards, even if we don't have rewards, no one is willing to leave." Cui Fu said loudly, feeling very proud.
"Haha, don't be reluctant to be rewarded." The king shook the folding fan and said with a laugh.
"Yes, my son, there are other tea restaurants that want us to ask for tea girls?" Cai Jing also said that some people told him whether they could transfer the tea girl to other tea restaurants.
Wang listened proudly: "I'll run a school later, specializing in ** chefs and tea girls. If you want to learn the craft, you can spend some money. If you want to use someone, we can also recommend it for a fee.
Thinking about the two profitable businesses, Wang was proud and turned around the world with peaches and plums. He even figured out the name, called "Tao Li Academy." But I didn't say it. That day and Yuexia revealed that day. Yuexia said that his name sounded like a fruit seller.
He looked at the crowd. He Liba took the lead in saying yes. He had done everything. It was hot recently, and the coal yard in He Liba was much more leisure. Usually, some guys were staring at him and doing something next to the king. No wonder the business of Jinxiu Building is booming. In this hot weather, many people choose to go to the street to buy some food every day, and they don't like to keep the stove to cook. There are snacks in the capital, and every restaurant has a good business.
His eyes swept over Li Enxi. Seeing that Li Enxi frowned again, Wang began to have doubts in his heart. Why did the girl look serious when she talked about developing new things? Is there something wrong with the funds? The king can't think about it carefully.
It's Rouge Tiger's turn. She said, "It's not a big deal in the house, but, but"
Wang saw that the rouge tiger, who was usually like a female tiger, was no more than twice, so he looked at Xiao Lu. Xiao Lu was also at a loss. Everyone looked at the Rouge Tiger again, "But the old lady sent someone to ask when the prince would pick up the girl Rouer. When Miss Rouer comes over, she can't live with the maid. The room in this house..."
The room in this house is really tight enough. In addition to the house to be reserved for the guests in the front yard who come and go from all over the world, the front courtyard hall is a meeting. The main room of the inner house is used as an office, and the compartment has been changed to the council hall. There is also a place for the servant to live and a room for training cooks and tea girls. Lu Shenyan and He Libo are already very good at it. The two of them are in the same yard with their two children. Wang pang and Yuexia were in the small courtyard when Wang pang first arrived in the Song Dynasty. Even without Rou'er, the expansion of the house should have been put on the agenda long ago.
"Miss Rouer's business is a private matter, and there is no need to discuss it here in the future." Lu Shenyan saw that the prince was a little embarrassed and whispered to the rouge tiger. Although Rouge Hu usually treats Brother Lu, she has a rule when Xiao Lu talks about it. "Oh" said, indicating that she knew it.
Everyone talked about the expansion of the house again. Yuexia knocked on the door and brought two maids. Each of them had a tray with a porcelain bowl on it. In the porcelain bowl, some kings taught Yuexia the method: mashed fruit juice with fresh fruit, take out the frozen ice from the ice cellar in winter, and pour the pulp juice there. On the size of a porcelain bowl of ice.
Yuexia asked the maid to share it to everyone. Everyone was hot and thirsty. Yuexia personally handed a bowl to the king. The two of them love others so much and laugh secretly. Seeing that everyone was almost at the same time, Wang stood up and said, "Let's do these things separately today. Let's try this ice drink."
At present, the weather is hot enough. There is no electric fan and air conditioning this year, which makes Wang side unhappy. I wonder when the house will be expanded, so I will get a swimming pool, but it's troublesome to think about it. You can't swim in a long shirt.
When everyone saw the end of the meeting beside the king, they played outside the house to eat ice and drink the wind, but Miss Li Enxi did not get up yet. Wang Pian had just seen her frown several times. At this time, he went out to meet everyone. There was only her and Yuexia in the room, so he asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Miss Li nodded and said, "Sir, you can't toss new business and real estate anymore. If the house is not enough, we can move out."
The king couldn't help but be surprised: "Does the girl think it's not good to live in Meyer's house?"
Miss Li shook her head and whispered, "The Meyer House is very good, but I just made an account for you. If you continue to toss around, you will go bankrupt if you can't make ends meet."
