"That shouldn't be called a cement road, but a cement road?"
Ye An glanced at Qin Mumu and tentatively spoke to Li Zunxu. Unexpectedly, he spit out a mouthful of tea and coughed repeatedly: "You...cough cough...are you stupid? Brother, I mean you don't have to
Build this cement road! Kaifeng Mansion pays money every year to repair the official road. Then we can spend some money to ask the road construction workers to help repair our trails. Why bother to spend money and effort to repair it yourself?!"
It turned out that this was what he meant. Ye An thought for a while and waved his hand generously: "That's not necessary. Our family just wants to build a cement road. Not only will it be built on the official road, but it will also be built on the Xinlingfang Road in the city of Tokyo in the future!
"
Li Zunxu was stunned for a moment, while Zhao Qingyi who was standing next to him gave Ye An a cold look: "Are you crazy?! This matter is not your decision. Do you know why official roads are called official roads? They belong to the official family.
Road! No one is allowed to encroach! You built a cement road into Tokyo city? Isn’t that the road of your Yunzhong County Marquis’ Mansion? Can others still leave?!"
Ye An was suddenly stunned, then patted his head, looked at Qin Mumu who was puzzled and smiled bitterly: "I made a big mistake, this road is also privately owned."
"What?!"
Seeing Ye An's helpless eyes, Qin Mumu finally understood: "Is there such a thing in the world? Can this road be privately owned?"
Ye An nodded and whispered to her: "As small as fields, as large as building roads and bridges, these are actually privately owned, but generally no one cares about who walks on them, but if they really care, it's really
Others have the right to prevent you from passing, which is why the term "roadless" comes from. The road belongs to others, and as long as they are unwilling to let you go, you can't go!"
This is a manifestation of private ownership in ancient times, but Qin Mumu couldn't accept it. Ye An could only helplessly smile and said: "Our cement road can only be built at the junction of official roads. If we want to build it to Tokyo City, we can't build it to
I'm afraid it won't be possible in front of the Hou Mansion."
Qin Mumu nodded slightly, looked at Li Zunxu and said, "If Kaifeng Mansion returns to the official system, is it okay for our Puhui Company to take over this business?"
Li Zunxu and Zhao Qingyi were both stunned. They had never thought about this, and they had never heard of a firm taking over this kind of business. After all, the imperial court employed people in the form of labor, so the cost was not counted.
Gao, there is absolutely no need to transfer it to Puhui Company!
Zhao Qingyi saw her husband's eyes and quickly said: "Good sister, how dare you continue this loss-making business? Even if we are doing good deeds, if we don't make money, there is no reason to lose money!"
Qin Mumu did not directly answer Zhao Qingyi's words, but looked at Ye An. As expected, Ye An was slightly surprised and looked at Qin Mumu. Both parties understood and reached a tacit understanding.
It can be heard from Zhao Qingyi’s words that this is not something that cannot be done, but it is not profitable!
In the conscience of heaven and earth, no one will take on government projects in this era. Urban construction has always been the most profitable part! At present, Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion has the highest level and best quality building materials in the Song Dynasty. It only needs to cultivate a professional team
With a construction team, wouldn’t it be easy to get this kind of deal that has no bidders at all?!
The money was too good to earn. The sudden happiness made Ye An and Qin Mumu dizzy. They ignored the incomprehensible Li family couple beside them and began to discuss.
"We can meet the supply of cement, gravel, and yellow sand, and we can also expand our own production scale. We use the money provided by the Kaifeng government to open river sand workshops and gravel workshops to supply raw materials. The first money is directly invested in raw materials.
In the process of manufacturing, as for the price negotiation with Kaifeng Mansion, I will personally go there!"
Ye An told Qin Mumu the result she wanted, but she shook her head and said: "You can't go. If you go, you will be accused of seeking public benefit for personal gain. I will go. After all, I am the boss of Puhui Company. This matter
In the end, it was up to me to make the decision. It all depends on whether Wang Zhenshang takes the bait. The first time it was high-quality and low-priced, the second time it was affordable and practical, and the third time it was up to us, hehehehe..."
Zhao Qingyi looked at Qin Mumu and laughed horribly, and patted her head with dissatisfaction: "Is this business really profitable? Don't cheat Wang Zhen, otherwise the empress will definitely bring disaster to the family if she finds out about it. We women don't dare to do this.
thing!"
Qin Mumu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we can do this! And we can do it better and better. Our Puhui Company has found a once and for all business."
Li Zunxun and Zhao Qingyi on the opposite side had doubts on their faces. They didn't believe that Ye An and Qin Mumu could make money from road construction or Kaifeng Mansion's money.
If it is true as they say, then why don't others do it? How can we wait for Puhui Company to intervene in this matter?
But in comparison, Ye An and Qin Mumu are full of confidence. They only need to propose a reasonable bargaining price, which is lower than the cost of Kaifeng Mansion's previous road construction, and Puhui Company can repair the road lower than the bargained price.
The rest is the net profit!
This depends on Qin Mumu's bargaining skills. Of course, she will not handle this matter alone. She also has the shopkeepers of the entire Puhui store to help. The technology is based on cost, reducing expenses while maintaining quality and quantity.
Once this is done, it will open up a new way of thinking for Puhui Company. In the future, all urban construction in Tokyo may become a project for Puhui Company to make money. The key is that this move will not only allow Puhui Company to make money, but also help Puhui Company make money.
It can save money for the court and improve its reputation.
After all, there is a cost to recruiting labor. Even if there is no wages, a large amount of food expenses and various other costs need to be paid, and raw materials also require expenses.
But as long as the project is handed over to Puhui Company, all the expenses will be borne by Puhui Company itself. The Kaifeng government only needs to pay a part of the money as a deposit before the start of the project, and then pay the rest after the project is completed and accepted.
Just pay for the project.
This kind of entrustment method will definitely make Wang Zhen, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, tempted, and will also bring him considerable political achievements. As long as he is not a fool, he will not refuse the price negotiation of Puhui Company.
Li Zunxu and Zhao Qingyi were dumbfounded after listening to Ye An's description. They couldn't figure out why it was a business that was obviously unprofitable and turned into a sure-profit business with Ye An.
In fact, they don't know that this is the benefit brought by the market economy. The two sides complement each other's advantages and save money and effort for the national economy and people's livelihood. Of course, the most important reason why Ye An dares to do this is because he is assured of the construction quality of Puhui Company.
This can be seen in the renovation and construction of Xinlingfang. Xinlingfang is also the only street in Tokyo that uses cement pavement. Other surrounding streets have already wanted to carry out such renovations, but Ye An, for the uniqueness of Xinlingfang, decided to
He never let go.
Even when Li Zunxu proposed that Puhui Store should renovate Gaotou Street, Ye An still didn't agree, but now, he might be able to start his own plan.
After all, once department store chains are launched in Tokyo, road transportation may become a general trend.
