Chapter 15 Business
"Dare you ask, is Boss Liu there?" Qi Bosong went to the front desk and asked the clerk.
The guy raised his head and saw Qi Boxong. He hurriedly smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Qi? Please hurry up. Our owner just said that Mr. Qi has made an appointment to sign the contract here today. Why hasn't he arrived yet? As I was saying that, you came. This is really Cao Cao. Cao Cao will come.
The guy guided him and took Qi Bosong and Zhen Xing to a small house in the backyard.
When Boss Liu heard that Qi Bosong was coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile. Qi Boxong pointed to Zhen Xing and said to Boss Liu, "This is my wife."
Boss Liu said with a smile, "Good-in-law, brother-in-law, please come quickly."
The three of them entered the room together. After the clerk served tea, Boss Liu smiled and said, "I'm ready for the paperwork. Brother, can you have a look first?" With that, he handed over a document.
It says, "Today, I ordered 80 catties of grape wine with Qi's Bosong, 120 cents per catty. Qi Boxong cannot be resold to others."
After reading it, Zhen Xing smiled and said, "Boss Liu, we are at a loss. You mean to monopolize our wine. However, you have a monopoly. Where is our business going? Everyone is in business. Isn't it to make a living? However, if your family monopolizes, my business will be worse.
Boss Liu smiled and took out five taels of silver and said with a smile, "I also thought of it. Well, I'll give you some fixed money first. Make another hundred catties of wine.
"Boss Liu, I mean, the price is low." Zhen Xing said unrelentingly.
Boss Liu blinked his eyes and said, "One hundred and twenty cents are not low."
"You can sell at least three or four hundred yuan. That's not all, Quan Yili, only your family sells our wine. Just saying that others come, you can't just drink and not eat vegetables, can you? How much other profits have you brought to your family? In addition, this also invisibly enhances the image of your hotel in the hearts of the people. This kind of wine is not affordable for ordinary people, is it? At least, it's rich. Where rich people can come, the social status of your hotel will be improved. So, you only spend 120 cents, isn't it a little cheaper? Zhen Xing said.
Boss Liu said with a smile, "But, my brother has already discussed it with me."
Zhen Xing also responded with a smile: "He was drunk that night. That's how he is. When he gets drunk, it's easy to talk about his buddy's loyalty. We also sincerely made a friend of Boss Liu. Since we are friends, you can't watch your brother and sister-in-law hungry, can you?
Boss Liu was speechless by Zhen Xing's words, so he had to say, "What price are you going to sell?"
"One hundred and fifty sentences, one pen is not less." Zhen Xing said.
Boss Liu gritted his teeth and nodded and said, "Okay." There was a burst of sudden joy in Zhenxing's heart, and she made a lot more money.
Calculated, it was a total of twelve taels of silver. When Zhenxing bought grapes, she only spent one taels of silver. It's really a beautiful thing to make eleven taels out of thin air.
"These five taels of silver will be fixed for you first. Make another 100 catties of wine and send it over. Boss Liu said.
"Okay." Zhenxing received the silver.
At noon, after eating from Boss Liu, the two of them went home happily. Zhen Xing took out the account book again. This time, he made ten taels of silver for wine. In addition, Qi Boxong earned eight taels of silver by growing vegetables. He opened a teahouse and transferred six taels of silver by himself, and made a total of twenty taels of silver by buying pickles. Calculated, it's a total of 44 taels of silver. It was converted into RMB, and a total of 13,200 was transferred in three months. The average is more than 4,000 RMB per month.
Although they don't have much money, their lives are very interesting.
The hard days are coming again, and 120 catties of grapes are pulled into Zhenxing's home. The washed grapes were arranged in half of the yard. According to the old rules, Qi Boxong squeezed them. Zhen Xing calculated that this time, 120 catties of grapes cost only one or two pounds of silver, which was cheaper than the last 100 catties. A hundred catties of wine is fifteen taels of silver, making a net profit of fourteen taels. Fortunately, I got the right time. The family was in a hurry to dispose of the remaining grapes in their hands, otherwise they would not have picked up a big leak.
She has been here for a long time, and she has carefully calculated an account. Ordinary farmers make a living by farming, raising pigs and chickens. If a family has ten mu of land, they can grow cotton in spring, cabbage, radishes, etc. in autumn, and they can earn about 30 taels of silver by farming.
Calculated by a pig, the profit is about one or two silver. Ordinary farmers raise one or two pigs at the back of the house. In terms of raising chickens, a chicken is about a hundred children, but in general, farmers only keep four or five chickens. These are all small money, not counting.
In a word, a farmer's family can usually earn about thirty-two or three taels of silver in a year. On average, it costs about 10,000 yuan. However, due to the different situation of each family, some have a large population and some have a small population. There is no way to calculate per capita income.
Zhenxing and Qi Bosong tossed around for three months and earned 44 taels. In her abacus, this kind of tossing method will earn more than ordinary farmers, and she is proud. It is also more important for her plan to do business.
When the wine was made, Boss Liu's car came to the door of Zhenxing's house. A jar after a jar of wine was put on the car. Zhen Xing looked at her achievements and was happy.
Inadvertently, Zhen Xing asked a seemingly honest man.
"Where do you sell this wine?" Zhen Xing asked.
The guy looked at Zhen Xing with contemptuous eyes, as if she were an alien. The little man looked up and down at Zhen Xing and said, "The wine you sent last time has been sold out. I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for a few days today. The boss said, please ask Mr. Qi to go there as soon as possible and get the money as soon as possible.
"How much does it cost to buy a catty from you?" Zhen Xing was excited to find out.
The following sentence made her heart suddenly cold.
"One tama of silver is one catty, and you are still rushing to buy it at this price. Our shopkeeper is busy every day, and he supplies ten catties every day. From the opening in the morning, he booked out before noon. If you want to come here for a drink, you can't do it if you don't have a nod." The little man said as he tied the rope.
Zhen Xing entered the room with a depressed face. She said to herself that she was really not a piece of business. I'm afraid of being in my hand. I always want to sell it cheaply. It's a good idea to make some money.
I want this one hundred and fifty sons, and I'm still happy. As soon as Boss Liu took action, it was a taels of silver. This time, I made less money.
Seeing Zhen Xing's depressed expression, Qi Boxong said with a smile, "Why do you suffer so? How many years has it been a time-honored brand? It monopolizes your business again. Can you not sell it expensively? All right, let's live a good life. Don't think so much. Think about it, if you want to have this thing all over the world, then who cares about it? Boss Liu just seized this business opportunity and made a steady profit. There are many ways to do business. It is definitely not something that can be learned overnight.
Zhen Xing nodded. Why didn't she know this truth? Fortunately, I didn't lose money. He also earned fourteen taels of silver. In total, the two of them earned a total of 58 taels of silver in two months. After all, I don't have the courage of Boss Liu. It seems that if I want to go on the road of doing business, I'm afraid I will learn more.
Seeing that winter was coming, Zhen Xing and Qi Boxong pushed off Boss Liu's business. It is very difficult to receive good grapes in this season. Although Boss Liu was unwilling, he had no choice but to do it.
Zhen Xing has an inexplicable fear of winter. In the winter of the Forbidden City, the bottom of the house is empty. Every day, there are young eunuchs who replace burning charcoal. The room is warm, just like there is floor heating.
However, people say that the winter in Xinjiang is very cold. If it happens on a snowy day and the heavy snow seals the mountain, do you want the two of them to freeze to death in the house?Zhen Xing was a little scared. Discuss with Qi Bosong to see if he can get the floor heating like the Forbidden City. Qi Boxong thought about it. The structure of the house is different from that of the Forbidden City. In case it collapses, how will the two get through this winter?
Seeing that the weather was getting colder day by day, Zhenxing and Qi Boxong added two more quilts. Nevertheless, the cold wind in the middle of the night is still cold and scary. Although there is a wall of fire, it is not much warm.
Qi Bosong burned a brazier for Zhenxing in the room, but the effect was not ideal. In this era, there is no air conditioning or electric blanket. How to spend the winter has become the biggest problem for the two of them.
Qi Bosong made a few wooden boards according to Zhen Xing's idea. When it was dark, he sealed the window. Although part of the cold wind was blocked, Zhenxing still felt cold.
Qi Bosong gave up the relationship he had always maintained and got into the living room. Two thick quilts are spread on the sofa. Before going to bed at night, seal the door panel inside.
Despless this, Zhen Xing still has a slight cold.
Typhoid fever is not an easily curable disease in this era. It's just a fever, and Zhen Xing has been lying in ** for three days. The traditional Chinese medicine in the medicine was boiled. Qi Boxong was watching the medicine and stuffed the stove with some firewood.
The pot is boiled with water. In order to make Zhen Xing warmer, Qi Bosong came up with this method. Put a large pot of water in the pot and boil it day and night. It was not until Zhen Xing went to bed at night that she closed the door of the stove and turned off the fire. In this way, the warm time of the house is longer than before.
Zhen Xing's head was dizzy, and her two noses were blocked like a dead gourd. She reached out and touched her head, which was hot. Although the house is a little warmer, winter has not yet fully arrived! If winter comes completely, she and Qi Bosong will not be frozen to death, right? Thinking of this, she felt even more uncomfortable.
