After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Chen Rou and Zhou Tong had no choice but to relax, and they could only trust Zhao Feng's judgment.
Zhao Feng sat across from the two of them, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip before continuing.
"There is a more important thing to discuss than this."
"I have negotiated a cooperation with Shopkeeper Jin. He agrees that we can carry out our business to Jiangnan. However, I am thinking about whether we should build a branch in Jiangnan or transport it to Jiangnan through a road."
Zhao Feng's words made Zhou Tong and Chen Rou think about it, and Zhou Tong said directly.
"Mr. Zhao, I think it is better to send it to Jiangnan via a road. Although this will increase some transportation costs, it will keep our business stable."
"After all, Jiangnan is the hometown of Shopkeeper Jin. If we really take our business there, he might be able to find out what our things are made of after a little investigation."
Chen Rou thought for a moment, then shook her head and said.
"I think it is better to build a branch in Jiangnan. After all, it is too far from us to Jiangnan. Even a horse-drawn carriage will take a month. If we transport goods, it may take even longer!"
"And there will probably be some dangers along the way. Even if we can take the official route and turn around through post houses and the like, there will still be a lot of cost involved."
The two obviously had different ideas. Seeing their differences, Zhao Feng thought for a moment, shook his head and said.
"Let's talk about this later. Let's build the road from our place to the capital first. After this road is built, maybe the court will be able to see the benefits of building the road."
Hearing this, Zhou Tong and Chen Rou also nodded happily.
Zhao Feng has obviously been busier these days. Not only does he have to let Ginny learn some things by his side, but he also has to help Chen Man build those restaurants.
The road from Youzhou to Beijing has been built and can now be used on a trial basis.
A road wide enough for five carriages to run abreast was built so smoothly that the carriage could not feel any shaking when running on it.
Zhou Tong and Chen Rou rode the carriage for two laps and felt that this road was really good.
Zhao Feng also nodded with great satisfaction. After this road is built, there will be no obstacles to traveling from here to the capital. At the same time, the speed of traveling from here to the capital can also be extended. It used to take two days, but now it only takes One day.
When Ginny behind saw this road, a surprised expression appeared on her face.
"Mr. Zhao, is this road built with cement? I didn't expect that the road built with cement would be so smooth!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile.
"Of course, and most of the roads in Her Royal Highness's fief are made of cement. Haven't you noticed before?"
After hearing Zhao Feng's reminder, Ginny came back to her senses and couldn't help showing a shocked expression.
"Oh my gosh, how much cement does this take?"
"This cement is so expensive. It must have cost a lot of money to build this road."
Zhao Feng shook his head and said while looking at the road.
"This actually involves a business cost accounting process. If the benefits brought by building this road are far greater than the costs, then there is no need to lose money in building this road, but it can be used to make money."
Ginny had a confused expression on her face, wondering why building this road could still make money.
Zhao Feng chuckled and pointed to the toll booths on both sides of the road to explain.
"If you think this road can quickly deliver goods to the capital, will the merchants be willing to take this road?"
Ginny nodded vigorously. Anyway, if she was doing business, she would definitely be willing to take this road. After all, this road is not only very wide but also smooth. It can not only shorten the time, but also avoid the bumps on the road. The goods are damaged.
Zhao Feng said this.
"In order to take this road, it doesn't matter if you pay some money. I charge those merchants 100 cents for a carriage. If the trade route on this road is really established, there will be a steady stream of Mercedes-Benz carriages selling on this road. Jue, how much money do you want to make every day?"
Ginny suddenly took a breath. She didn't expect that there was such a way to make money by building a road.
Zhao Feng continued.
"And apart from this method, our things can be transported to the capital quickly. Although the transportation cost of paper can be saved by tens of cents per trip, but if the number of times increases, will the transportation cost saved be enough?" Just too much?"
Ginny was completely surprised by Zhao Feng's explanation and gave Zhao Feng a thumbs up.
Jinni really didn't expect that Zhao Feng had so many fantastic ideas in business, and that these fantastic ideas could actually become reality. No wonder Jin Baoyuan asked herself to follow Zhao Feng to study.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and explained to Ginny.
"As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first. Today is the first lesson I will teach you. The important role that transportation plays in some businesses. I will check and inquire tomorrow..."
When Ginny heard this, her face suddenly became a little bitter. As the second daughter of the Jin family, Jin Baoyuan also trained Ginny in reading and literacy, and also wanted Ginny to become a lady, but she didn't care about these things. She was really not good at things and wanted to sleep as soon as her husband taught her.
So Ginny had no choice but to start learning how to do business. Unexpectedly, she still had to remember these things when learning how to do business.
Seeing the helpless expression on Ginny's face, Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"If you use that stupid method to remember, of course you won't be able to remember clearly, but if you combine these things with specific cases to learn them, you can easily remember them clearly."
Ginny curled her lips and didn't believe Zhao Feng's words at all.
Seeing Ginny's appearance, Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Ginny's desire to learn these things was not as strong as he thought!
If this is the case, then why does Jin Baoyuan insist on letting Ginny come over to learn these things? This makes absolutely no sense.
If Jin Baoyuan really wants to know how to establish his businesses, then he can send someone who is really interested in these businesses.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng looked at Ginny curiously.
"I see that you are not interested in these things either, so why did your father have to send you here?"
