After all the money for this trip was settled, Su Wan discussed future business with them. Shang Zhi felt that the cavalry team was making huge profits and was unwilling to just stop doing it. Moreover, if the cavalry team could be made bigger, he would arrange a few more projects. Road, that is extremely profitable.
But the cavalry team is indeed dangerous. It is easy to encounter bandits blocking the road. The money earned is also dangerous.
Su Wan said: "If you want to build a cavalry team, I have two ways for you."
Shang Zhi: "I would like to hear the details."
"One is to ask for help from Xie Daxia. Xie Daxia has been in the world for many years and has many martial arts skills. At his age, some of them are probably tired and want to find stability. To find stability, we need money. If we are willing to spend They are definitely willing to come over for the money, but because they are from the Jianghu community, they are also in some trouble."
"The other is ordinary soldiers who have retired from the army. Although these soldiers can get a sum of money after leaving the army, at that time they were only in their twenties and thirties. They had a lot of strength and some skills, but because of their lack of knowledge, If you leave the army, you can only go back to farming."
"You also know that nowadays, no matter how hard the people farm, they can only make ends meet. If there is a famine, they will still be hungry. However, these people are different from the Jianghu people. They don't have strong martial arts. If they encounter a mountain Bandits are also prone to injury and even death. If you are looking for them, you need to talk to them carefully and don't cause anything later."
However, compared to the cavalry formed by ordinary people, it is naturally better to use these people. It is also good for these soldiers. After working hard for a few years, they have saved a fortune. After a few years, they left and life was easier. Some.
And if someone leads the team in the future, it's okay for the two brothers not to follow.
Shang Zhi: "Madam, these two methods are both good. In my opinion, the more people there are, the better. Well, if someone as powerful as Mr. Xie is willing to come and help, I can refer to Mr. Xie to share the profits. But These Jianghu people are not very moral, what if they run away if something happens?"
Xie Daxia followed him over, and actually received two cents, one of which was from the company, like a basic salary. Because he was a specially invited person, the money given was not low. Whether it was Xie Daxia or the two merchant brothers, All.
There was also a share promised to him by the two merchant brothers. Among the profits of the cavalry team this time, they gave him half (0.5) of their brothers' 30% profit share.
Because the cavalry team temporarily bought a bodyguard bureau and established it, there were not many people left in the bodyguard bureau who could fight, so a lot of pressure was left to Xie Daxia along the way. The two brothers asked others to help, so naturally they couldn't treat them badly.
"That's the same reason, so you can ask Mr. Xie if he has anyone you can trust." Su Wan nodded. Although Jianghu people are highly skilled in martial arts and can be compared to ten, they are also used to being free and unrestrained. Some people are fine, but I'm afraid they meet people who don't respect martial ethics. people.
"This is the first time before. If the cavalry team is really built, I can give half of the profit to the leaders like Xie Daxia. As for you, I don't ask for much, just two points. .”
"Every time you go out and come back, you two will give everyone some hard work money. If there is any leftover, you will save it. If someone is injured or dies, you will use this money to compensate according to the regulations."
Su Wan felt that it was inappropriate to deduct money from these two brothers when the cavalry team was to be established. After all, they had promised so much before. It would be a bit bad if they deducted money here and there.
However, it is not appropriate for her to take all the responsibility. It would be just right for her to contribute 0.5 and the two business brothers to contribute 0.2. Most of this money still belongs to them. The hard work and injury compensation are not much, but it is really unfortunate that someone died, so they will take it. Just pay some money.
Shang Zhi nodded: "It's feasible."
This amount of money was more than half less than half a percent, so he took advantage of it no matter what.
"I will write a letter to my grandfather and grandpa at that time. I should find someone there, but one of you still needs to go to the Imperial City in person. I will ask my guards to accompany you."
"Thank you, Princess."
"As for next year's business, have you thought about how to do it?"
"My subordinates think we can make rouge and cloth first. This time we went north and found a village in the mountains. The red and blue flowers there are very good. The locals use them to make rouge, lipstick and other products. I have seen them. Pretty good.”
"As for the cloth, I remember that the cloth from the south is particularly good. I'll see if I can get the cavalry to bring it back. If not, it's feasible to hire someone to weave cloth there..."
The two merchant brothers talked about their plans for next year. At the moment, their goals are only in the three cities of Imperial City, Lanzhou City and Guiyan City. They will take advantage of this period to arrange the shops first, and start arranging them at the beginning of next year. .
Shang Wen also suggested taking advantage of this period to collect a batch of dry goods from various villages, so that you can make a fortune before the end of the year. Although this amount of money is not much, it is still money after all.
Su Wan nodded in agreement and allocated another fifty thousand taels of silver to the two brothers.
At the beginning, Su Wan promised them 150,000 taels of silver for their business. He had taken 50,000 taels before, but now he has taken 50,000, which is exactly 100,000.
By the end of next year, if the business does well, the remaining 50,000 can be given away. As for how to expand, that is their business, and Su Wan is not going to care about it.
The money has been given, the connections have been given, and the backer has been secured. If they can't make money for her, or let her come up with ideas for everything, then what's the use of them.
Manager Lin manages so many shops, and the annual profit distribution is only one-tenth. They get three-tenths. If she is not even as good as Manager Lin, then she might as well replace her early.
After taking care of the business matters, Su Wan began to prepare the New Year's gifts for each family. She had made a list in Licheng long ago and asked people there to prepare it, and then she would send it over before the New Year.
What she needs to prepare right now is the Jinning Palace, Zhen Guogong Palace, the Shi Family, and several well-known families in Guiyan City. In the remaining time, she will check out several shops in Guiyan City. ledger.
The business of several small shops is pretty good, and the restaurant is even better. As for Jianjia House, it is even more prosperous. In one year, the revenue is 80,000 taels. This is still in Yancheng, and her share in the Imperial City is also 100 taels. All in all.
Su Wan was satisfied with finishing the accounts and counting the banknotes, and was thinking about whether to open a Jianjia Restaurant in Lanzhou City next year, but she probably didn't have the time to take care of it, so she might as well let Jiubian open it.
