"Young master, you mean we want to open a business?"
Su Fu was also a single-handedly responsible manager in the Su family in Duling. He managed several shops in Jiankang. This time, Su Che asked him to come from home by name.
"yes."
"I don't know what the young master plans to run. The simplest one is a silk and satin shop. This is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money."
Silk and satin can be used as money, although the purchasing power is not as good as real gold and silver, but thanks to Emperor Hongfu, since iron money has become legal tender, Manager Su is very optimistic about the financial situation of the silk and satin shop.
This is also the reason why Tiqi's stations in various places are willing to open silk shops as a disguise, because there is plenty of oil and water, and it is easy to make money.
"Otherwise, just go to the medicine shop. The medicinal materials in Cizhou are better than other places. Going to the north and the East China Sea, there are people asking for medicinal materials from Cizhou. But there are many incidents this year, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect medicines, but the access It’s all ready-made.”
When Su Che was ignorant, he had a dream to be the owner of a herbal medicine shop in Linqing Mansion.
If it was just for money, opening a herbal medicine shop would be considered a good business, but Su Che had no intention of doing so.
"I mean opening a grain store and lending money."
"good business."
Steward Su praised it, and the stewards below also nodded one after another.
In a year of great disaster, there is nothing more profitable than opening a grain store and lending money.
They didn't mention it because it was a shady business, and the few stewards who were used to doing business and were very strict about the tradition would look down upon it.
There is a famine now and the price of food is soaring. Bringing food from outside to Cizhou to sell it will be a huge profit.
As for lending, according to the rule of nine out and thirteen out, only ninety cents will be given out to a hundred cents, and one hundred and thirty cents will be collected when it is taken back. If it is not settled this year, it will be transferred to the second or third year, and of course the interest will be calculated separately.
Sometimes, as long as a debt is run well, it can force a family to work for nothing for a lifetime.
"But Young Master, our Dulingsu clan should not be engaged in such a business."
The chief steward still understands the truth. With the status of the Dulingsu family today, there is no need to do this kind of business anymore.
"The chief steward is right."
Suche smiled and said, "But in our shop, small buckets go in and big buckets go out. If you put money in, you will go out and return in 10 times."
Several stewards looked at each other, and finally the chief steward frowned and said.
"If Master arranges it like this, it's not impossible. It's just that this business shouldn't be opened in Cizhou and should be done in Yongzhou."
The big steward's meaning is very clear. If this is a temporary move to win over people's hearts, it should be done in his own hometown.
"Anyway, it's just the cost of those few cars. It's better to give the Cizhou people a better chance than to give us the advantage of our hometown party." He said and looked at the stewards next to him: "The third young master actually sent us a good deal. This profitable business is troublesome. Anyone can do a losing business."
What he said made Su Che laugh.
"We can't afford to lose this business." Suche looked at the stewards.
"Sir, I know you are kind-hearted." The chief steward said, "Cizhou has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. Harvesting Cizhou's grain and selling it in Jiankang can be regarded as a long-term business."
"But now that Cizhou has just suffered a disaster, if we want to start a business here, the food must be transported from Jiangzhou. But the production here in Cizhou is less, and the demand in Jiankang will not be less, not only in Jiangzhou Food, even Jingzhou’s food, will rise accordingly.”
"If you are determined to do something good, let's buy some farmland nearby this year at a bargain price, just higher than the price offered by the local gentry. When Cizhou recovers in two years, we will have enough farmland. Now that we have obtained grain, we are doing a good business in which small buckets in and big buckets come out."
Suche nodded, the manager's words were indeed mature words.
If this strategy is followed, this business can indeed take root in Cizhou, but Suche has a lot of capital.
No need to waste any more effort.
"Of course you have to buy land, but you also have to sell grain. You don't have to go to places like Jiangzhou and Jingzhou to buy grain. I have it ready in hand. Before everyone came, I had asked people from Tiqi to come forward and buy a few warehouses. There is food readily available.”
Several warehouses.
Several stewards looked at each other, and finally the chief steward solemnly advised.
"Of course we know the master's methods."
The third son of my family is now Tiqi's second-ranking figure in Cizhou. If Tiqi rides out, he is naturally capable of all kinds of industries and can do anything easily. It is not a problem to get some food in Cizhou during this calamity year.
But business is all about steady flow, and you can't just sit back and have nothing. What's more, these few warehouses of grain are nothing like mountains. When these mountains are used up, what will you do next?
"You don't have to worry about food."
With Qingdi Baoyuan here, a few warehouses of rice are not a problem.
Suche is more concerned about when this business can really start operating.
"What I mean is that things like setting up porridge, settling accounts, and selling grain should be put into operation as soon as possible. Time waits for no one, so please hurry up."
The chief steward thought for a moment and said to Suche.
"I probably understand what the Third Young Master means. Why I am so kind to the people here is beyond my ability to ask. I think it is all part of the Young Master's plan. There is just one thing. I dare to ask the Third Young Master to grant us full authority."
"This is natural."
It has always been Su Che's personal principle to leave professional matters to professional people.
The several stewards looked at each other, finally feeling relieved.
"What's the name of this business? Please ask the Third Young Master to decide on a name so that we can have someone make a signboard."
"Long live forever, may there be everlasting joy."
Su Che recited: "One person's long-term happiness is as good as the world's long-term happiness. In this case, let's call it Weiyuan."
"Chang Le Weiyang, let's call it this. Young Master, let's go take care of it now."
Several stewards stood up and saluted Suche.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Suche also returned the favor.
"Xiao Su, are you trying to make a deal or rebel?"
King Yin Yang, who had been sitting nearby and watching with cold eyes, suddenly said something.
"Is it annoying just to do something nice?"
"No, I'm just afraid that our Netherworld Palace hasn't been established yet. You go and get the emperor on earth to do it first."
Yin Yang Dharma King leaned comfortably on the Grand Master's chair with his legs crossed.
"But it doesn't matter, we all know each other so well. If you are determined to change the government, then I will play with you."
"Just doing something to benefit the world." Su Che looked at this person with a smile: "Emperor in the world? I am not interested in this good position that is destined to be a loving father, a son, a filial brother, and a friend."
"Where did you get the food?" Yin Yang Dharma King looked at Suche: "You don't think that you can get the food by relying on those Tiqi cavalry to dig three feet into the ground and suppress the powerful, right? This Cizhou has been hit by disasters all over the country. , no one has any surplus food."
"Senior, where do you think my food comes from?"
"Outside transportation is definitely not possible. You collected a large amount of grain before the disaster. Well, if you had such a head in Jiankang, you wouldn't have plotted against others." Yin Yang Dharma King muttered something in his mouth: "Let me think about it. Think about it, Weiyang, Changle Weiyang..."
As Yin Yang Dharma King said this, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
He turned his head and looked at Suche with wide eyes.
"Is it possible...that you have the Qingdi Treasure Garden in your hand?"
Suche nodded.
I guess this kind of thing can't be hidden from the old ghost in front of me.
When he was fighting with Tian'an City God before, this old ghost had seen that he had a void magic weapon to hide in.
"Good boy, if Lingweiyang knew that you were using his Qingdi Baoyuan to grow food and didn't use the Six-Heaven Yin Yi, I'm afraid he would be very angry..."
