Wei Ximin was very puzzled by this arrangement and asked: "Young master, our current sales momentum is very good, and the capital is rich. Let alone seven thousand yuan, even if we add fourteen thousand, we can still sell it. And the capital city is still able to sell it.
It is the closest to Sanshen Garden, not only the most economical in terms of transportation, but also the most appropriate in terms of safety... But if it is scattered to so many places, even if no one dares to intercept our goods, we still have to send guards, plus there are people to eat.
If the horse chews something, the cost will go up."
Gao Pragmatic didn't care, and waved his hand and said: "It won't add much cost... Although I have arranged a scattered quota of one thousand yuan a day, but you don't just send a transportation team out every day, right? Press it, once every half a month.
You can send it, even once a month, and the soap doesn’t take up much space, so you can effectively reduce transportation costs.”
Wei Ximin still refused to give up and continued to persuade: "But young master, no matter how much you reduce it, it can't be compared with the capital's profit. The difference here is real money..."
"Okay, okay." Gao Pragmatic said helplessly: "Don't get into the eyes of money. Money is something that you can't take with you until you die. Their purpose is not to accumulate and pile up gold and silver for yourself.
He looks happy."
Wei Ximin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked: "What is that for?"
"Hahahaha, money, of course, is meaningful only when it is used out." Gao Qingqing gave Wei Ximin a simple explanation under the dull look on his face: "Whether it's gold or silver, can you eat it?
Can you wear it? For example, you are lost in the desert and you have nothing to eat or drink. I will give you a mountain of gold. What is the point of coming?"
Wei Ximin smiled dryly and said: "After all, we are not in that situation now, are we?"
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's not a problem at the moment, but that's because I have done enough preparation before, otherwise... this situation is enough to make many people jealous, staring at me, waiting for me,
Once I make any mistake, these things belong to others."
Wei Ximin was shocked and hesitated: "No way, with Gao Ge always here, who is so bold?"
"Haven't you ever heard a saying, 'It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow'?" Gao Pragmatic was too lazy to continue to talk about this logic with him, so he changed the subject and said, "Besides, what about this small business?
I can't hold on anymore. I will have more big businesses in the future. Selling soap is much bigger and more important. How dare I entrust you with such an important task like you..."
Wei Ximin's eyes suddenly widened, and his attitude made a 180-degree turn. He hurriedly said: "Young Master, I... I have never seen the world. For a moment, that... that, anyway, what should I do according to the Young Master?
Just do it if you’re small.”
Only then did Gao pragmatic smile and said: "Well, that's good. You did a good job on your errand. I will notify Shangyue Tingqin later and give you an extra two hundred taels of silver as a reward."
Wei Ximin smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He thought to himself that our eldest young master is so courageous. If I had kept the reward as it was, I might not have been able to work for several years, and I would have to count some outside money to make it enough? This is a lot.
Although the month is hard, it’s so damn worth it!
After all, it was real money that moved people's hearts. Wei Ximin immediately forgot about what happened before and was so happy that he knelt down and kowtowed to thank the young master for the reward.
Gao pragmatic calmly accepted his gratitude, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Inform Gao Xiaozhuang about this soap quota adjustment, and then tell him that the batch that stayed in Sanshenyuan,
It has to be handed over to Cao Gan, but the accounts must be clearly separated. The soap factory's account and Bailixia's account must be separated. Cao Gan can buy goods from him at the price of eight coins per unit. At the same time, tell him
Cao Gan, I don’t care about the upper limit as to how much he can sell it for once he gets the goods, but the lower limit is one tael of silver, and it cannot be less, otherwise I will only ask him."
This is what it means to rely on monopoly and pricing power to ensure price stability and basic profits. However, Gao Pragmatic is too lazy to explain it to Wei Ximin and others - if you are still unable to understand this kind of thing after seeing it, then your future will be at risk.
That's all.
Cultivating talents is not about raising children. How can we spend more than ten or twenty years slowly carving them out? Such treatment as food to open their mouths and clothes to stretch out their hands can only cultivate mediocre people. Real talents can only influence them in a subtle way.
, guide them at critical moments, and they themselves must have subjective initiative, read and think more about things they don’t understand, and come back to ask for advice if they really can’t understand, instead of being like a puppet on a string, asking for instructions on everything and reporting everything.
But I don’t understand anything, and I still haven’t made any progress in the long run.
After Wei Ximin's thoughts were forced back by Gao Pragmatic, his mind finally began to wake up. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Young master, the daily ration of one thousand yuan for Bailixia is understandable for young people, but
Why do you need soap over there in Kaiping? Isn't that a small town? Young Master, I'm not just asking around, but I seem to have heard the young master mention it before, saying that there is iron and coal there, and you plan to build a pig iron factory there.
From the shop?"
"It's not a pig iron workshop, it's a steel factory." Gao Pragmatic corrected him, and then said: "I haven't had time to inform you about this matter, so it's normal that you don't know. To put it simply, I have found an agent.
, planning to enter the Liaodong market."
Although the word market seems to be used in a pragmatic and pragmatic way slightly different from others, Wei Ximin still understands it, but he is a little curious and can't help but ask: "Agent? Young Master, although Liaodong is a little far away, but
It’s not difficult for us to sell them ourselves. We can get enough horses from Bailixia. We can transport them there and sell them ourselves. The profit seems to be higher - after all, we transport them so far away and the price is a little higher.
It doesn’t matter if it is improved a little, and the amount is not big. Although Liaodong is poor, the place is not small, so this amount can still be eaten."
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand and said: "First, don't think about eating alone; second, we need to concentrate our energy. Let me ask you, if we go to Liaodong to develop ourselves, how many people will we need?"
He didn't ask how much it would cost, but how many people he would need. Wei Ximin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then... I'm afraid it will take two to three hundred people."
Gao Pragmatic laughed: "It costs money to support these people. Where can we find someone to take charge of them?"
After all, Gao Pragmatic's business is developing a bit too fast. If the people at hand send a trustworthy person all the way to Liaodong, there will not be enough people around him, and there are still many actions he will take next. Naturally,
You can't do this.
Wei Ximin finally asked unwillingly: "Then... what's the price for them?"
"Nine taels of silver per piece." Gao Jingshi said calmly: "The other party is the Yangwu Marquis Mansion. My requirement for them is that the price cannot be lower than one tael of silver. You don't have to worry about this."
As expected, Wei Ximin didn't ask any more questions - he didn't ask about the reserves in the capital, which must be kept by Gao Pragmatically and be useful; he didn't ask about the quota in Xinzheng, because it was given to the eldest young master's mother. No matter what the reason, he was not qualified to be a servant.
Ask.
So Wei Ximin stood up and said goodbye. Gao Pragmatic was really tired, so he didn't stay any longer - although he was mentally old enough, his body was still young after all, and it was the time when he was growing. He had to rest when he should, and he couldn't bear it.
