Chapter 42 Investment Agency
Liu Xiaolan, the chief executive, is new to the production process, but she is still a little nervous when she is talking about business. Wu Song came back from the training ground and was not someone else's, but Wang Xin, the youngest boss of the Wang family, who is in the tea business in Xinyang.
It turned out that Wang Xin led a team of dozens of mules back from Quancheng Mansion. The best-selling Xinyang Maojian sold for a good price. Now he is back to celebrate the New Year. When he returned to Qinghe County, he happened to see a Tongda cart. There were hoes and shovels like farm tools in the exhibition hall. The Wang family owned tens of thousands of acres of tea mountains, and there were thousands of farmers working with them, so there were also a large number of farm tools. He ordered a thousand hoes. When he saw that the soap for washing clothes was very useful, he decided to sell them to Xinyang Mansion for sale. However, the shopkeeper said that there were only a few hundred yuan a day and he didn't dare to make a decision, so Wang Xin came to Wu Song.
"Brother Wang looks so handsome. It seems that the business is good after leaving for many days." Wu Song clasped his fists and said.
Wang Xin said: "This trip was very smooth. The merchants who cooperated with him were quite happy. They were about to go back. When they came to Qinghe, they saw that your soap was very good. They wanted to bring 20,000 yuan back and try it. I wonder if Erlang can supply the goods?"
Wu Song said: "If you can supply, you can supply it, but my soap is decided to recruit only one agent in one government office. For example, if you want to be an agent in Xinyang Mansion, you can set up a store in Xinyang Mansion to wholesale and retail. In order to ensure that the market price is not messy and to restrict the dealer to sell well, in addition to the payment for the goods, each dealer needs to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan. Don't worry about this deposit. We must have a contract. If you don't do it, you will return it in full."
The Wang family started to manage tea in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It has a history of more than four or five hundred years. It has a rich family background and is accurate in seeing business opportunities. It immediately said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Let's make a contract now."
Wu Song immediately called the shopkeeper, the accountant, and made a contract. Wang Xin paid a deposit of 1,000 guan, and at the same time purchased 20,000 yuan of soap, and agreed to deliver the goods in two days.
Wu Song took the deposit and drove away the largest brick and tile factory nearby. This brick and tile factory is an official kiln in the county and belongs to the public industry. The blue bricks and red tile produced are of great quality. Of course, they can't serve them as official kilns. If they don't deliver goods, the price is even more expensive.
Wu Song ordered one million blue bricks from the brick and tile factory, and the manager of the brick and tile factory was full of joy. These days, the people were poor, and all the families who were willing to use blue bricks and red tile to build houses were large families, so the sales volume was limited in one year. Unexpectedly, Wu Song bought so many, and he really made a big profit. The blue bricks in Wu Songding were expanded after the spring.
I feel like I have more money, but in fact Wu Song feels poorer. The ironware factory is now only at Zhang Blacksmith's house, so I need to build a new place. The iron ore factory needs to build a new factory dormitory, and the soap factory also needs to build a factory. Jia Simin also needs to introduce a large number of seedlings, fish, geese, and pigs, and promote sweet potato planting. In short, the places where money is spent are waiting.
The current soap factories, ironware, and car dealers are all just starting to operate, not growing up, and not profitable yet.
Wu Song returned to Wujiazhuang, and three of the five planned reservoirs had been repaired. The others were guaranteed to be completed before the beginning of spring. Jia Simin immediately smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hurry up and get the account to approve money. I have developed a new pedal waterwheel. A carpenter shop costs five taels of silver. Our sweet potato test field requires at least three taels of waterwheel to prevent drought. There are still 100 sows that need to be purchased, and the pig house has been almost built."
Wu Song sighed: "The wallet is almost empty. Now the car dealer is not profitable at all. The flowers are all deposits paid by the soap agent."
"Don't be so short-sighted. Next autumn, you will get at least 500,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, slaughtered 1,000 fat pigs, tens of thousands of fresh fish, and thousands of big geese. I, Jia Simin, are not a scattered person." Jia Simin said.
Wu Song gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll give you another thousand taels of silver as startup funds. You can remember the accounts clearly. Calculate the benefits next winter to see if your pig grain can guarantee the logistics of our car dealer."
Jia Simin curled his lips: "I am a great agronomist and I can't support the logistics of a car dealer. You are serious discrimination against me."
"Go and go, you'll get panting when you say you're fat. Take me to see how the pig house is built." Wu Song said.
The pig house is built on a rocky beach next to the farmland. The construction materials are all made of local materials and built with stones to form a wall of about one meter and two meters. Half of the pig house has a roof and half open.
"Adult sows and boars are equipped with single rooms, with an area of three meters by four meters, ensuring that the pigs have enough space to move. There is Yufei Pig House, a room of fifteen square meters, and six pigs can be raised." Jia Simin introduced to Wu Song.
Wu Song shook his head when he saw it. The pig house was much worse than the previous pig farms of the army. There was no automatic drinking water, no automatic feeder, and no electric manure scraping board. However, it is now 1110 in the Northern Song Dynasty. Many poor people's houses are better. Raising a pig is just not so particular.
Wu Song said: "I would like to suggest that the main body of the pig house is like this. But it is too cold in winter. I hope there is something to cover the open-top side. It is too hot in summer, so plant some low trees to shade. The sports field for breeding pigs is too small and requires a large activity venue to ensure health. In addition to the grain and scraps, some wasteland carrots, pumpkins, and other miscellaneous grains to feed the pigs."
Jia Simin said: "I feel that you are better than me, and you are an expert in raising pigs. I agree with other places, but I can't think of a way to cover this place in winter. It's too dark to cover the pig house and lacks sunlight. Pigs are prone to illness. If only there is a material that can transmit light and block the wind."
"There is no way to do this for the time being. Strengthen the roof of the pig house. It will collapse when it encounters heavy snow." Wu Song arranged.
"Don't worry, I have told the craftsmen countless times, absolutely no problem." Jia Simin said.
This pig farm covers a large area and leaves a lot of room for rest. However, considering the prevention of disease, Jia Simin's idea is that there are no more than 100 sows in a pig farm, and it is enough to slaughter about a thousand fat pigs every year. Another pig farm must be more than five miles away.
A foundation has also begun to be built in the goose house next to the reservoir. At present, the reservoir only has a small amount of water, and the weather is cold, so it is still early to raise geese.
Agricultural breeding and planting are the basics and must be taken seriously. Except for pig farming, they are not experts. The biggest taboo is to be laymen and leaders, so Wu Song still does not interfere in subtle ways, but there is one thing he wants to do in person, that is the waterwheel.
In the past few years, water trucks used manpower or animal power to lift water. Making a water truck requires a lot of wood, which took a long time and was too expensive.
