Yingtianfu is located south of the Yangtze River. Although it has already entered winter, the weather is still warm. There are only a few scattered snowflakes that have melted as soon as they hit the ground.
In such rainy and snowy weather, people are even more reluctant to move around. The emergence of rickshaws has brought great convenience to people's travel.
From the first batch of fifty rickshaws, ten days later, there were already one hundred and twenty rickshaws in Yingtianfu.
In this way, demand still exceeds supply, and there are often pedestrians holding umbrellas waiting for rickshaws on the roadside.
Yang Xuan also thought of many ideas for these coachmen, such as providing hot ginger soup at all times in the coach shop, and a charcoal brazier for the coachmen to keep warm and roast their soaked clothes.
Yang Xuan even developed a kind of rubber shoes, which are made of rubber made from cowhide and made into rain boots. The soles are then glued with a layer of wear-resistant soles. In this way, the feet of the coachmen do not need to be so squirming.
It was like stepping in wet and cold mud.
Unexpectedly, this kind of rubber shoes has become unexpectedly popular. After all, there are many people who need to work on rainy days.
The coachmen were originally allotted a pair of rubber shoes each, which could be replaced if they were worn out, but many coachmen reported that their shoes had been stolen.
Upon further investigation, I found out that someone paid for the rickshaw drivers' rubber shoes, and then the rickshaw drivers sold the rubber shoes, and then came to the car dealership to receive free rubber shoes.
After dealing with a few rickshaw drivers, Yang Xuan simply set up a stall at the door of the rickshaw shop and sold rubber shoes directly for fifty cents a pair, which saves you from having to figure it out when you can't buy it.
As the New Year's Eve gets closer and closer, even the rainy and snowy weather can't stop people's enthusiasm. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, creating a bustling scene.
Yang Xuan is also preparing to celebrate the New Year. Today, he owns 49.6% of the shares of Weijixian Restaurant Group, 40% of Shunfeng Hong, 70% of Li Xingxing, as well as his own shop selling pretzels, as well as BBQ
Yang Xuan also owns 70% of the kiln that makes colored glaze beads.
Now he makes the most money from Weijixian Catering, which has three direct-operated stores, one early adopter restaurant, and one franchise store in Yingtianfu, one direct-operated store and six franchise stores in Luoyang, and one hotpot restaurant.
and Taoranju Winery.
All these added up, the monthly turnover is nearly 20,000 taels of silver. The profit of this extremely fresh business is extremely high. The gross profit of 20,000 taels of silver is at least 80%.
After deducting 20% of expenses such as labor rent and so on, with his nearly 50% shareholding, he would have a dividend of five to six thousand taels a month.
The income from glass beads was the largest amount of money he had ever made, eighty thousand taels of silver plus the glass beads that were later distributed. Since those glass beads distributed came from the property of Prince Hui’s palace, he gave Prince Hui fifty taels.
The price of one piece of silver was one thousand pieces in total. Based on his 70% shareholding, he made more than thirty thousand taels.
However, this business is only one-time and cannot be sold in the future.
There is also the profit from Shunfeng Xing, which is not much in comparison, only two to three hundred taels of silver a month.
As for Li Xingxing's rickshaw, he didn't make much profit. After all, he handed the rickshaw to the driver, who only paid a regular fee to the dealership every day.
After all, there is no way to calculate how much money they have run away. They can only collect money in this way, so it is fixed. One hundred taels of silver per day for a car, one hundred and twenty rickshaws, 12 taels of silver per day.
income.
Excluding vehicle wear and tear repairs and welfare benefits for the drivers, the daily profit is about ten taels.
However, Yingtianfu has a population of two to three million. This number of rickshaws is definitely not enough, and the number is increasing every day.
Finally, there is mineral salt. For this pound of salt, the salary given by the court is only one penny, and then 50% of it must be paid into the emperor's inner treasury first, leaving only half a penny. This half penny is required by the emperor.
Divide 10%, Yang Xuan can get 30%.
Thirty percent of half a penny seems pitifully small, but you must know that the entire Dasheng Dynasty had tens of millions of households and a population of over 100 million, and the monthly consumption of salt was simply astronomical.
It won't take long, that is, next year, this will definitely be one of Yang Xuan's most profitable industries.
Why is it one of them? Because he knows that these 30% of the shares will not be in his hands for long, and they will have to be divided sooner or later.
But even if it is only 10%, it can be regarded as a real daily income.
Summarizing the harvest of this year, Yang Xuan is quite satisfied.
Among them, the person who helped him the most was Lu Fengxian. Both Shopkeeper Zhou and Guan Yunrong were his right-hand assistants before, but they were still far behind compared to Lu Fengxian.
If it weren't for Lu Fengxian's relationship, Yang Xuan would never have had the opportunity to come into contact with Prince Hui. In addition to the delicious food and beverage, other industries were formed so quickly because of Lu Fengxian's relationship.
If he had relied on himself, I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to reach such a scale within a year or two.
Not to mention the mineral salt, it can only be a treasure in vain and cannot be used.
So during the Chinese New Year, he had to prepare a gift for all his partners. It was easy for everyone else, but Lu Fengxian had to put some thought into this gift.
After much thought, I had no idea, so I could only let it go for the time being.
In the past few days as the New Year's Eve approaches, Yang Xuan is no longer busy. Everything is as per the routine. Whenever he has nothing to do, he will go to his eldest brother's house to visit.
Drink with your eldest brother to prevent him from being bored at home.
After all, if a young man in his twenties spends all day doing nothing at home, it will not be good for him for a long time.
He packed a large pizza from the store, carried a bottle of wine, and some snacks to go with the wine, and headed to his eldest brother's house. This pizza was Xiao Xuanxuan's favorite food.
As soon as I pushed open the door of my eldest brother's house, I saw that my eldest brother was shirtless and waving a simple knife. The light of the knife was flying up and down, and the fallen leaves on the ground were flying with it.
This scene reminded Yang Xuan of those short videos he had watched. The so-called martial arts masters in the videos were nothing compared to his elder brother.
Although it is not as cool as the special effects in the movie, every move is breathtaking and the feeling is completely different. No matter how cool the movie is, it does not have this sense of reality.
This should be considered a martial arts master.
Seeing his brother coming, Yang Xiao put away the knife and made a few breathing movements without even taking a breath.
Although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was even a faint white air steaming from Yang Xiao's body.
"Brother is here."
While he was talking, Yuan Shuyi at the side came forward, put clothes on him, and handed him tea.
Well, as soon as I walked in, I was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.
"Uncle, did you bring me pizza?"
Xuanxuan, who was wrapped like a small rice dumpling, rushed over while shouting.
Yang Xuan knelt down and prepared to greet his cute little niece, but Xuanxuan turned around deftly, passed by Yang Xuan, and took away the pizza in Yang Xuan's hand.
