"We now have a total of six thousand two hundred and forty taels."

"An ordinary escort can earn at most two or three taels per month. It can be less when he is not working as an escort, and more when he is working as an escort. It is roughly within this range."

"There are more experienced escorts, six or seven taels a month."

"A master with extraordinary martial arts skills earns ten or two a month."

"Our bodyguard agency has a configuration of one hundred ordinary bodyguards, three to five bodyguard leaders, and three to five masters. In one month, the number will only be around 300 taels."

"More than six thousand taels of silver is enough for us to live for two years."

"And in the past two years, the fresh fish business has brought in less than 10,000 yuan a year——"

Cao Xin calculated this way, even if the escort agency lost four to five thousand taels every year, he could afford it, and he could even have a surplus of several thousand taels.

"..."

"this--"

Cao Ren was dumbfounded.

Cao Xin also felt it was outrageous.

Doesn’t it mean that money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat?

How come it’s so easy to make money here?!

But then I thought about it——

Sitting in the primitive fairyland, with mountains and rivers to rely on, a 40-50 meter wide original river is the biggest treasure!

The only thing that needs to be noted is that selling fresh fish to outsiders for many years will inevitably attract attention. However, Cao Xin’s current fresh fish is directly supplied to restaurants and restaurants, and is not sold in bulk at the fish market, so as to minimize the impact.

Spend some more money to do it up and down.

It's not difficult to cover up.

In addition, Lu Damiao and others have infiltrated into the Luoxiu County government office, so there is no need to worry about the channels for money.

In a word -

Money can make the world go round.

As long as there is money, Cao Xin can weave a big net step by step to protect his own territory.

What does it mean to maintain the daily sale of three thousand kilograms of fresh fish, with more than seven hundred fresh fish scattered in the vast market of more than two million people in Xijing City?

And it's just a small amount of money.

When the Escort Bureau gets on track and uses the 'Original Fairy World' to transport goods and earn the price difference, this is the real huge profit!

Cao Xin is not short of money!

…

The plan to open a escort agency was officially put on the agenda.

However, this is not something that happens overnight——

Recruit troops and horses to visit the dock!

All the preparations in the early stages can be overwhelming.

For example, to show filial piety in official circles, to ensure that no one is in trouble. This sounds easy to say, but to whom should the money be given, through what channel, in what name, and in what name? Is this person trustworthy?

Wait, these are all doorways.

Another example is peer investigation and management.

Although the market in Xijing City is large, the escort bureaus are not as good as the martial arts schools. There are only a few well-known escort agencies in Xijing City. If you, a stupid young man, step in forcefully, you are robbing the tiger's mouth of food and people's jobs.

How to deal with hostility, exclusion, and difficulty from peers? Is it soft or hard?

This is also the doorway.

Furthermore, although Cao Xin is rich and the escort agency is not in a hurry to accept escorts to make money, it cannot seriously maintain such a large escort agency for two years. It has to be a pretense.

Otherwise, when others see it, wouldn't they know at a glance that this is someone who has been taken advantage of?

This is not possible.

And if you want to be an escort, you need an employer.

For a new escort agency, its strength and credibility are all issues. Clients will not come to you on their own initiative, and you have to recruit them one by one.

How to recruit?

What's the price?

How to make a claim?

These problems are also not simple.

This does not include the choice of route and various situations on the road during the actual escort trip.

Compared with the above problems, recruiting troops has become the simplest thing.

"take it easy!"

Anyway, Cao Xin is the hands-off shopkeeper. He only speaks and pays, and does not care about anything else.

Cao Ren is an old tool man!

very useful!

Leave everything to him, Cao Xin can rest assured.

And Cao Ren's first task is to persuade Duan Chong to join the gang!

Apart from money, the Cao family does not have the strength to open a bodyguard bureau. All plans must rely on Duan Chong.

This person is the key. If he cannot be persuaded, everything will be lost.

…

"Escort agency?"

"It's not easy."

Duan Chong was shocked when he heard Cao Ren's plan.

Although he has never been exposed to this industry, he also knows that there are many ways in it, including capital, strength, connections, and reputation.

"At least one thousand eight hundred taels of silver in the early stage."

Duan Chong made a rough estimate and was even more surprised.

When he first came to Xijing City in the middle of last year, Duan Chong was still worried about his future livelihood, so he thought about becoming a bodyguard. He inquired through his friend Huang Long and learned about the famous "Fuliu Bodyguard Agency" in Xijing City.

The monthly salary of an escort is 2 taels, that of a senior escort is 3 taels, that of an ordinary escort is 6 taels, and that of a senior escort is 10 taels.

Further down, there must be walkers and handymen.

The monthly labor expenses alone are a large amount, and there are also subsidies for the escort service.

In addition, purchasing escort carriages, escort boxes, horses or donkeys and mules is a huge expense.

If you want to open a escort agency, one thousand taels of silver is just the starting point!

During the escort journey, there is no fighting or killing along the way, but a sense of humanity, protecting the escort with strength, paving the way with fame, and giving money to the monsters, ghosts, gods, and snakes along the way.

Once the escort is lost, compensation must be paid.

In case of casualties, compensation must be provided.

How can ordinary people afford this kind of business?

This disciple of his is quite whimsical.

"Master, we are not short of capital. With Master in charge, we also have the strength. As for connections and reputation, take your time. The escort agency is not in a hurry to make a profit. If you go more escort trips, connections and fame will come naturally."

Cao Ren parroted what Cao Xin had taught him.

But he himself thinks it makes sense.

All these problems are ultimately a matter of money.

As long as the money is in place, everything will eventually be solved.

…

Duan Chong heard this and was about to speak.

But at this time, Ning Shuhua took over the conversation and looked at Cao Ren: "You can't say these words, who taught you? Also, I have always been curious before, but it's hard to ask -"

"Shuhua!"

Duan Chong should know what Ning Shuhua wants to ask.

Want to stop——

"Senior brother, please stop talking."

Ning Shuhua raised her hand and silenced Duan Chong. Then she looked at Cao Xin and softened her tone: "Master and disciple are one. Your master values ​​you, and we all know your temperament. We can't bear to see you make mistakes.

Maybe the mistress is overly worried, but your family fled from Ningxi and arrived in Xijing City in July of the second year of Qianyou. It has only been more than a year. What kind of business can earn more than a thousand taels of silver?"

The yard on the outside is at least two to three hundred taels.

The initial cost of opening an escort agency is at least nearly a thousand taels.

This alone is already over a thousand years old.

Where did the Cao family get so much money? Doing business? What kind of business can be so profitable?

This is something that normal people would be suspicious of.

Doing business requires capital, where did Cao Ren's capital come from?

The profit of doing business is limited. Even if the profit is doubled, how much capital and volume are needed to earn more than a thousand taels in a year and a half?

Is it a windfall?

Or——

Ill-gotten gains?!

Ning Shuhua looked at Cao Ren with a complicated expression.

If this had been put aside a few months ago, she would not have mentioned it.

But now, Duan Chong intends to train Cao Ren as his successor, and Cao Ren wants to drag Duan Chong to open a bodyguard agency, and the relationship between the two families will become closer.

As she said: Master and disciple are one.

Before that, some of the doubts and confusions in the past need to be clarified and clarified.

If you don't understand it, you may be in trouble.
