Chapter 50 The Start of the Grand Plan 4
"It's okay. It's okay. Manager Deng doesn't have to be nervous. I just thought of some interesting things."
At this sight of Deng Cheng's embarrassment, Li Xian stopped his laughter and appeased him kindly, but the reason was really far-fetched. As for the real reason, it was simple to say. That is, Li Xian, through a look at his words, he could completely conclude that the real ancient man in front of him, not wear The coming Xibei goods - when he was wandering around the village before, Li Xian had found that this "ecological farm" lacked the element of biogas ponds. Now, under another test, seeing that Deng Cheng has never heard of such a thing as biogas at all, he can naturally come to a conclusion - the discoverer of biogas is the 18th century. At the end, the Italian physicist Volta, and the first practical biogas pool was invented by the French in the 19th century. As for its entry into China, it was in the early 20th century. When it was really popularized in China, it had to be traced back to the era of "red flag fluttering". Naturally, the ancients did not know the term biogas. Moreover, in the real "ecological farm" system, the biogas pool is the key. Only by building the biogas pool can the effectiveness of the whole farm be maximized. Obviously, Deng Cheng does not know this point. In this way, the answer is ready to come out.
"Your Highness, what is that swamp, biogas?"
Deng Cheng is obviously a good researcher and is very curious. Seeing that Li Xian's attitude was kind, he dared to ask questions.
"Well, Mr. Deng has found that the pool where you hoarded manure often emits bubbles, and the smell is slightly smelly. If you throw it into fire, you will be able to burn it. This gas is biogas."
The composition of biogas is complex, which is not easy to explain. Moreover, it is not easy for Li Xian to move out the modernization, so he can only mention it briefly.
"Ah, it turned out to be this thing. I know that a few years ago, a child in the village was playing with fire by the septic tank, which almost caused a big disaster. At that time, I felt strange, but I didn't know why. Now when I heard Your Highness's words, I understand a little, but how can this gas be used?" When Li Xian said this, Deng Cheng suddenly realized, but he immediately frowned again and didn't know how to use biogas.
"I've seen this matter in the notebook of my predecessors, but I haven't seen the real thing. It's been a long time, and I can't remember it clearly. Let's talk about it when I go back to check it." The principle and design of the biogas pool are not difficult. Li Xian personally supervised it when he was a township official in later generations. He has always been very clear that even if there are no steel pipes, valves and other things, Li Xian can come up with a set of alternatives. However, if he really wants to explain it clearly, it can't be done in a few words. Li Xian doesn't want to talk about it. Besides, although the biogas pool is a good thing, compared with Li Xian's plot, it is not worth mentioning at all. He doesn't want to be entangled in such small things, so he casually found an excuse to get rid of it. After that, without Deng Cheng's reaction, he turned the topic away: "I heard that Deng was in charge of business all over the world. Yu Shang must be very proficient. I don't know anything about it. He also asked Mr. Deng to solve the puzzle on his behalf.
"I dare not. Your Highness, if you have anything to do, just do your best."
Deng Cheng was thinking about how to use biogas. Suddenly, he saw Li Xian change the topic. First, he was stunned, and then hurriedly bowed and answered.
"Well, if I give you a sum of money, I think it's for business use, how much is the annual profit?" Li Xian raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep meditation.
"If you go back to Your Highness, it depends on the size of the principal. There is a big use, and there is a small place. It is really difficult to make a conclusion."
Hearing that Li Xian raised such a question, Deng Cheng's eyes lit up and vaguely guessed the true intention of Li Xianlai's "Pie'erzhuang". He was immediately refreshed and answered loudly without thinking.
"Oh, that's right. What if it's forty?"
Li Xian nodded with a smile and gave a limit.
"According to this number, if you sell goods in the north and the south, you may get twice as much profit in a year. If the situation is good, five times more is also possible, and if there are more, you must be lucky. If the judgment is lost, it is not uncommon to have no return." After thinking about it, Deng Cheng replied in a gentle tone.
"Oh? What if it's four hundred? Li Xian smiled without any doubt and suddenly increased the amount by ten times.
"If there is this number, the choice will be several times larger, and it is safer to open a shop. My subordinates have operated silk, and it is barely enough to open a silk and satin shop with this amount. If it is managed well, it may be more than three times more beneficial at the end of the year. If you form a caravan with people and walk in the Western Regions, it will take more than two years one after another, and you can benefit. Ten times, but the road is difficult and dangerous, the road is uneven, and the success or failure is unpredictable. As for other enterprises, such as restaurants, restaurants and so on, they may be stable, but there is no profit.
400 Guan is not a small number, but it is not too amazing. If you take it as a business, it can only be regarded as a medium-small scale, and this kind of business is the most difficult to operate. It is difficult to do big business, and it is wasteful to do small business. Even if Deng Cheng is good at business, he does not dare to answer easily, but after thinking for a moment, he cautiously Open your mouth.
"Well, what if it's 40,000 yuan?"
Li Xian had contact with business in his later officialdom, but he just knew that he didn't know why. Of course, the concept of doing business was advanced enough, at least not a layman. Even if he was not familiar with the business of this era, his basic judgment ability was still not lacking. As soon as he heard it, he knew Deng. What he said was not nonsense, but Li Xian did not say anything, but quietly raised the amount to an astronomical figure.
"Thirty thousand?"
Hearing such an amazing number, Deng Cheng's body shook obviously. He looked at Li Xian in disbelief and muttered hesitantly.
"That's right. If there are 40,000 yuan, how will Manager Deng use it?" Li Xian smiled and replied affirmatively.
"This..." Deng Cheng was stunned. After his face changed several times, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, I have never calculated so much principal, and I'm not sure about it."
"Oh? Hahaha..." As soon as Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Your Highness forgive me, my subordinates, my subordinates..."
Seeing Li Xian smiling happily, Deng Cheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, with a bitter face, and didn't know what to say.
"It doesn't matter. Manager Deng is really an honest man, good, very good."
The principal is not as much as possible. Especially when you don't have the ability to control so many funds, it often leads to the backlog and waste of capital, or the overall loss due to extravagance. Naturally, Li Xian is very clear about this truth. He will not be disappointed because of Deng's honest words, but on the contrary, it is right. His ability was appreciated a little more, and he praised it with a smile.
"Your Highness is wrong, and I'm ashamed." As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Deng Cheng hurriedly thanked him, but his eyes flashed with the light of Qi Yi and longing, and there was a little tension mixed inside.
"Don't be nervous about the steward of Deng. I don't have 40,000 yuan to play with. Well, it's only 200 yuan, but I have to take back 5,000 yuan a year. Can Deng I do it?" Deng Cheng's face changed. Li Xian looked at everything in his eyes. He was happy in his heart. He laughed jokingly and asked jokingly.
"Ah, five thousand? This..."
Deng Cheng was shrewd. He guessed that Li Xian was going to do business. He was looking forward to it, but he never thought that Li Xian made such an absurd request. For a moment, he was dumbfounded and stared at Li Xian. He didn't understand whether his little master was making fun of himself.
"Five thousand yuan is only the first year. From the second year, if this number can't be doubled, it will be regarded as a failure. Does Manager Deng understand?" Before Deng Cheng could react, Li Xian smiled and then put forward a more outrageous request.
"Ah..."
He was dumbfounded. Deng Cheng was really dumbfounded. His mouth was so wide that he could be stuffed into a pear. The sweat on his face surged like a waterfall. After being stunned for a long time, he raised his hand, wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and said bitterly, "Your Highness, forgive me for my subordinates and subordinates are incompetent. I really dare not accept it. Please forgive me. Then."
No, I won't tease you! As soon as he saw Deng Cheng embarrassed like this, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, which made Deng Cheng even more frightened. After a burst of laughter, Li Xian said solemnly, "I'm not a delusional person. If you dare to say this, there is a reason to be lonely. Deng's steward only needs to be honest, and there is no reason. There are some gadgets here. Just do it." As Li Xian spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, weighed it in his hand, and then reached out to Deng Cheng.
"This, this is..."
Deng Cheng took the letter with a doubtful face and opened it. He opened it. There were dozens of thick pages of paper inside. There were not only drawings and textual instructions on it, but Deng Cheng couldn't recognize what those things were at all. He frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't want it. He had to look at Li Xian and hissed. Hey, I asked.
"There are four kinds of things here. One is a folding fan, with poems, words and paintings, which is a good tool for scribes to show their romanticism; the second is the distillation tower, which can purify light rice wine and make it into good wine; the third is soap, which is the most suitable for washing; the fourth is gunpowder, which can be used to make firecrackers and fireworks for festivals. There are four of them. Don't worry that the business road won't open. It's getting hot today. Let's start with the folding fan first. Give you a month. Be sure to build the folding fan first. As for the sales channel, I have my own opinion. Can Deng do it? Li Xian casually explained the four things, and then made a request.
"If there are four hundred pieces for use, I can barely give it a try."
Seeing that Li Xian had said this, Deng Cheng did not dare to neglect it. After careful calculation, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Well, that's good, lonely..."
Seeing that Deng Cheng was so cautious, Li Xian appreciated it very much. Just as he was about to open his mouth and comfort him a few more words, he suddenly saw Gao Mi hurried in from outside the door. His face seemed to look bad. He couldn't help but be stunned. He stopped halfway and frowned suspiciously...
