Rich people actually care about money, but when a person's ability exceeds the scope of earning money, money is no longer so precious.
Just like Ye An and Qin Mumu now, they really cared about money at the beginning, because it was related to the liquidity of Puhui Company and the food of more than a thousand mouths of Puhui Company.
But now, when the capital flow is guaranteed, and when Pratt & Whitney Department Store is a great success in Tokyo, they will naturally not care about the amount of money or the income.
Because once this successful business model emerges, it can completely solve the problem of sales terminals, and the rest is to think about how to develop productivity and expand Puhui Village’s productivity.
When it comes to sales, the lack of productivity is what Ye An and Qin Mumu are most worried about. Fortunately, they had half a year to prepare, and their warehouses have been in a saturated state.
As long as there is sufficient warehousing and continuous production, Puhui Department Store will not be out of stock, and naturally it will not be led by others.
In Ye An's view, this was a problem that had been considered long ago, but for the Song people of this era, it was a problem that they had never thought about.
Fufeng Company and other companies simply do not understand what mass production is, what is a steady stream of shipments as long as there are raw materials, let alone the combination of raw materials and production.
Most of the goods in Puhui Department Store have almost a complete production chain, from raw materials to processing to sales, which are almost integrated.
Because Puhui Company was originally a diversified business, growing its own food, brewing its own wine, logging its own wood, and making its own furniture, it was difficult to be controlled by the actions of others.
So at this time, as long as the Puhui Department Store outside Tokyo produces daily and the inventory is slowly released, the final result is that when the enthusiasm of the people in Tokyo subsides and they start to shop rationally, the production and sales of Puhui Department Store will enter into balance.
and normal.
Ye An and Qin Mumu are not worried about problems in Puhui Department Store, they are just trying to find ways to spend their money in a reasonable way or exchange it for other equivalent items.
There are too many copper coins to facilitate large-scale transactions, so they can only be exchanged for precious metals such as jiaozi or gold and silver that have begun to appear in Tokyo.
Neither Ye An nor Qin Mumu are optimistic about Jiaozi, because now Jiaozi is only used by merchants in Shuzhong, and its circulation is not strong. Every time it is used, it must be cashed in a chamber of commerce or a business opened by merchants in Shuzhong.
.
The current Jiaozi is only portable, but in actual use, neither credibility nor circulation is very strong. The reason is also very simple. Jiaozi is only circulated in the hands of merchants in Shuzhong. Although Yizhou also has Jiaozi affairs from the imperial court,
Not everyone recognizes it.
In other words, once the merchants in Shu do not recognize the Jiaozi in your hand, then no matter how much you take, it will still be a pile of waste paper...
But until now, there is no businessman in Sichuan who refuses to admit the Jiaozi in the other party's hand. No matter who it is, as long as they take out the Jiaozi with accurate patterns, passwords, markings, and seals, and the material is safe, they can successfully get the Jiaozi from Shu.
Money was exchanged in Jiaozi's shop.
Ye An looked at the Jiaozi in his hand strangely. He had just redeemed one before. Although it was made of paper, the printing technology was not very advanced. Even the most basic anti-counterfeiting technology, such as color printing, was not used.
"The famous Pu paper has four colors, one is called Jiaoshannan, the second is called Jiarong, the third is called Rancun, and the fourth is bamboo silk. The four colors are different and the seasons are uncertain. Only the old shopkeeper of Jiaozi Shop knows the secrets. If outsiders
If you bring the wrong color of paper, you will be involved in a lawsuit, not to mention how difficult it is to deal with the secret poems on Jiaozi?"
Xia Song felt quite unhappy when she saw Ye An's disgusted look on his face, frowned and took the jiaozi and put it on the counter.
"Yehou's shop has made a fortune, and all the copper coins in Tokyo are rushing to you. It's a good deal to exchange them, it's convenient and fast, I can exchange them here!"
Ye An glanced at Xia Song and saw that he looked like a profiteer and regretted that he had suggested to Liu E that he be responsible for Zuozang's outer treasury. This guy is now a brave man who wants to swallow up any savings he sees.
Yes, Xia Song has figured out the relationship between borrowing and saving, and has begun to absorb savings with Liu E's tacit approval, but without the country's gold and silver preparations, this is a very dangerous thing.
"I'm here to exchange gold and silver, not to save money. It's certainly a good thing to save money here to make money for you. Unfortunately, money can make money here, but it's much more than money here. Do you think I will keep it here with you?
Besides, once I deposit my money with you and keep depositing it, do you think your bank is still safe?"
Xia Song frowned slightly. He understood that Ye An would not threaten him for no reason. There must be a reason, but for a moment he didn't understand what Ye An meant.
"Don't be so pretentious. I have gold and silver. As long as you bring the copper coins over, I will exchange them. But you have to make it clear. Why can't your money be kept in the bank? The Zuozang Waiku collects it every month.
There’s a lot of profit!”
Ye An smiled: "You haven't encountered large-scale cashing. Just imagine that I stored all the money of Puhui Company in Zuozang's outer treasury. When one day I suddenly need money, I have to get it from you.
What will happen if all the copper coins are taken away at once? What will the people around you think when they see this? When everyone comes to exchange the copper coins, what will happen here? A run on you can crush you in an instant
!You have no chance of resisting the crisis. Still trying to accumulate savings here is tantamount to digging your own grave!"
Although the words were light and airy, they sent chills down Xia Song's back. It was the first time that he was shocked by Ye An's words, and it was also the first time that he discovered that the Zuozang Waiku, which had been running smoothly in his hands, actually had such a huge hidden danger.
.
Xia Song is a smart man, especially in business. He has considerable investment talent, so even if he does not have an official position in Tokyo, he can still make a living by collecting rent.
After Ye An described the risk of a run to him, the guy immediately became alert and gritted his teeth as he looked at the bullock cart loaded with copper coins of Puhui Company parked in the courtyard.
"So you're here to exchange money? You want to exchange all these copper coins for silver coins and gold cakes?!"
Ye An smiled and nodded: "Of course! I'm here to give you a benefit. How about giving you an extra ten cents for each round of money?"
Xia Song shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You think you are grabbing my sore leg? Ten coins of fire consumption is too little, twenty coins!"
Ye An sneered and said: "You didn't lose anything, and you didn't need to pay for the fire consumption. Besides, most of the money you gave out was copper coins and you didn't use gold or silver! The ten cents is just a handling fee!"
"Fifteen Wen!" Xia Song stared at Ye An and lowered the price without blinking, but Ye An was also unceremonious: "Eight Wen!"
"you!"
"You only need to press it once, and I will press it once. Believe it or not, if I take these copper coins to Sansi, I can exchange them for silver coins and gold cakes? I heard that Sansi has just minted a batch of silver collars recently. It's good to go there."
Very good!”
"Ten Wen is ten Wen, I'll do it for you! It's a good deal, a thousand dollars, if you dare to spend it with Sheng Mo..."
Ye An laughed loudly: "Brother Ziqiao, don't worry, Changsheng doesn't have such dirty tricks! It's enough!"
