Once there is a coal mine, someone can start digging. With funds, miners can be recruited. There is also a physical product of the finished briquettes, and there is a small stove to verify the identity.
The only thing missing is the factory building, which must provide a place for storing and drying raw coal and briquettes. If necessary, the raw coal must be processed and burned into coke.
However, this process can be completed in Kailuan. Not only is the cost lower, but it will not pollute the capital. The finished product can be shipped directly.
If you want to purchase a factory building in the old city first, you must choose it in the southeast of the outer city. This is the location of the downwind. No matter the northwest wind in autumn and winter or the southeast wind in spring and summer, coal ash will not be blown into the imperial city. inside.
This is the theory. If a cyclone blows, a certain prince will really lead his beautiful mother and a group of younger brothers and sisters to eat coal ashes. It is more reliable to set up a storage station in the outer city. How much can it be blocked by two city walls? It could be better.
The specific location is around Yongding Gate, west of Shanchuan Altar and south of Nanfang. There are several small artificial lakes here, and there are contiguous open spaces nearby. There are not too many Min houses, and if there are any, they may be almost destroyed by fire. .
Even if it is intact, just spend some money to invite the local indigenous people to leave. It is close to Yongding Gate, it is very convenient to get in and out, get water nearby, and it is easy to put out fires. This location looks very ideal.
After the Yongwei camp completes its mission of hunting down deserters from the Beijing camp, the seven distinguished shareholders can go to the outer city for on-site inspections. They can decide how much to spend, how to build the factory, and who to hire.
The only requirement of a certain prince is that the accounts must be clear. If there are corrupt people, no matter whose servant they are, they will be "snapped" and will not be tolerated. This stinky habit must not be tolerated!
The cabinet bosses and officials from the six ministries, a total of nearly a thousand people, have been arrested and await trial. There is no need to protect the servants of the Xungui family. It seems that the guy who wants to steal the money in Prince Mo's pocket has not yet been born...
"My dear friends, prepare your silver coins in the past two days and think about the manpower to be stationed in Kailuan. After I have drafted the operating regulations and management regulations, you can go to buy land and start mining. Yin Houdong of Shuntian Prefecture will take care of it. assist."
Since it is a big business, both money and people must be prepared. This is the most basic. As long as there are no problems with Yongping Mansion, it is a green light. If there is a situation, the worst possible thing is to replace the Yongping Mansion Governor with a capable guy. .
"I will go back to my hometown immediately to prepare the necessary money and personnel. Please be at ease, Your Highness!"
If the mining business goes well, the 70,000 taels spent previously can be earned back in one year, and it will all be pure net profit from now on.
Not to mention earning for ten years, just earning for five years, guaranteed to pocket 70,000 taels every year, that is 350,000 taels of silver, which was a wonderful thing that could not be dreamed of before!
He took 150,000 taels of silver to pay homage to the Crown Prince and buy peace of mind. In the end, he still pocketed 200,000 taels. How practical it was to spend the money.
I heard from the prince that he wanted to open many factories in the new city, and there must be lucrative businesses among them. As long as the mining project can be successful, he will be sure to have the prince's favor from now on.
From mining to transportation, to warehousing and sales, a certain prince has already solved all the things that should be thought of for the nobles. All they have to do is use the money as the working capital of Kailuan Coal Mining Group.
The current price of coal in Beijing is about one to two taels of silver per 100 kilograms. The price of good quality raw coal is slightly higher, but it is not as good as charcoal and coke.
If you want to increase the selling price of your own products and increase the company's income, the timely and feasible way is to sell self-developed semi-finished products - briquettes!
The combination of this thing and a small stove turned out to be ahead of similar competitors. After two or three years of use, it was withdrawn. Even if competitors imitated it, their own briquettes could occupy nearly half of the market share.
Yaoji has never thought of monopolizing this thing. It must leave a way for the charcoal sellers to survive. Not only does it not plan to do this in the field of fuel supply to the people, it also has no plans to organize manpower to crack down on imitations.
The people are all poor people with little income, and what they are best at is low-price competition. Large-scale coal mining and transportation can naturally reduce costs. They can use low prices to squeeze out competitors in the market and attract enough people. of consumers.
For local tycoons and factories, it's even simpler. If you don't buy the prince's coal, you won't give the prince face. I dare not say it from afar. I guess in the Jifu area, this brainwave warning should still be of some use...
The seven nobles jointly paid 140,000 taels of silver, and Yaoji had nothing to express his gratitude to, so he simply treated them to beef ramen.
On the other hand, they ate with gusto, and were full of praises and compliments while eating. Even Xinlehou Liu Wenbing, Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao, Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen and others planned to open a noodle shop in the inner city together.
They are complete amateurs in mining and selling coal. When it comes to food, especially delicious food, everyone can name a set of things, as if they are experts.
Yaoji plans to use the noodle shop as an information station for Dongchang or Jinyiwei, but it doesn't hurt if someone is willing to take over the responsibility, and he will even save start-up capital.
Assume that the franchise fee for a chain store is one thousand taels of silver, and a bowl of noodles can earn a net profit of ten cents. If you sell 500 bowls of noodles in a day, you can earn a net profit of five taels of silver. In a year, you can earn 1,500 taels of silver. Everything came back with profits.
Now, except for the nobles in the palace, the two commanders-in-chief, and a few general soldiers, these nobles, palace maids, and eunuchs have all eaten ramen. The wealthy people outside have never even smelled it, let alone eaten it. .
If you open such a ramen restaurant in the capital and don't make a net profit of three to five thousand taels a year, then the boss can only play the game of opening the shop in two days and taking inventory in three days!
Calculated in this way, the franchise fee must not be set at one thousand taels of silver. That would be too cheap for these meat-eating guys.
"My dear friends, if you want to open a shop, it will be easy. I can provide a skilled shop manager from the imperial kitchen and provide him with a number of assistants. This team will go to cook the ramen. The recipe and ingredients are exactly the same as the noodle soup made in the palace. Naturally, external sales are foolproof. There are currently two franchise methods for opening a beef ramen shop. One is direct buyout, that is, you can open a store by paying a one-time payment of 5,000 taels in cash. The investor will be responsible for the profits and losses. I will not participate in any form. The other is to pay a franchise fee of one thousand taels of silver first, and then I will receive 50% of the store’s net profit every year. Once the two parties sign the contract, it is a final agreement, and there is no possibility of changing it later. "
Five thousand taels of silver is a lot, but after that, you can live alone without any hesitation. No matter how much you earn, it will all fall into your own pocket. I think some people will be excited, and the nobles will not dislike the money in their pockets. many.
If you feel that investing in an unspectacular ramen restaurant is too much and risky, you can choose a more secure sharing model. Although half of the profit will be shared by the prince, the investment cost will be greatly reduced, and you will not lose much money. .
But everyone has personally enjoyed the unique taste of beef ramen. As long as they are optimistic about the prospects of ramen, they can spend money. It is impossible to expect to eat the 20,000 taels of ramen from the mine for nothing in Prince...
Didn’t you see that the soldiers in charge were so exhausted after eating ramen yesterday that they had to stand in a row against the wall? Otherwise, they would have unbearable abdominal distension even while sitting. The maids and chamberlains who didn’t know it all guessed what they said wrongly and were punished here. Stand!
"minister……"
After Zhangwu Bo Yang Chongyou had eaten two bowls, he was about to stand up and thank the prince for opening up financial resources for them. However, he found that he could not stand up. He barely supported the table with his arms and raised his buttocks. Then he slowly stood up and said: It was really embarrassing for the prince to see his embarrassment.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't stretch yourself to your waist and abdomen!"
Yao Ji waved his hand, not daring to let the nobles get injured. It would be really funny if he was so full that he was carried out by the eunuchs.
You can open a store, but you are afraid that in the end the people who order food in your store and ask for it to be taken away will be your own slaves.
A bowl of ramen costs twenty cents. Even if you add meat, it costs thirty cents, and if you add a vegetable, it only costs fifty cents.
The whole family of forty people ate together, and one meal only cost two taels of silver, which was really not much.
Eating noodles is not considered as disobeying the prince's decision to keep meals simple, and the cost is not high.
It is estimated that after the opening, the family will order food every day, and the whole family will sit around the table waiting to eat noodles.
Yaoji believes that Xungui’s family can account for one-tenth of the sales volume of each store. If you bring in friends and relatives, there is no need to actually sell to outsiders. Just the circle of friends is enough to keep the store manager busy. .
These rich and wealthy people are not short of money at all. They should only eat the meat-added version. The regular version without meat can only be used as a second choice when the queue is too long and can’t wait. Bring friends to the store to spend, and have a good time. Two silver dollars can only be regarded as the starting price.
According to Yaoji's preliminary plan, the seven stores will sell 3,500 bowls of ramen every day, which seems like a lot, but there are many nobles, civil servants, wealthy businessmen, and gentry in the capital, and each of them is surrounded by a bunch of wives, concubines, and children. They are all established audiences.
The price of 20 cents is not too high. After the salary increase, the monthly salary of a pre-qualified official is still 10 taels, and he can afford it with his wife and children eating ramen every now and then.
Of course, we cannot ignore the sudden emergence of a large group of foodies. They could not afford to eat before, but now they have bulging pockets and can definitely feast. That is the soldiers of the Yongwei Camp.
Because they were killed by the Yongwei camp during the siege, and then died from mutual injuries, plus the guy who was "snapped" by a certain prince in the end, the Jingying camp lost no less than 6,000 people in the outer city, which was converted into 60,000 taels of silver. So huge.
The total number of Yongwei camp, Neichang, Yumajian, Jinyiwei, and Han generals who defended the city in the early stage and went out to annihilate the enemy in the later stage was only 4,000 people, and each person could get at least ten taels of silver.
The first thing an ordinary soldier would do after receiving a reward is consumption. For a bowl of ramen worth 20 cents, he might have thought twice before and was reluctant to spend the money, but now that he has some spare money in hand, he has to give it a try.
Yaoji believes that as long as the idiots ask about the taste of ramen, they will probably be unable to walk. If they don't sit down and taste it, they will definitely lick their lips with their tongues.
Lu Jiude led the cavalry sub-battalion of the Yongwei Battalion to pursue the Shenshu Battalion and made great achievements. If calculated in this way, the ramen restaurant instantly gained six to seven thousand potential customers.
Assuming that each person goes there once every three days, the ramen chefs will probably be too tired to lift their arms. If these big guys go to eat every day, the ramen chefs will be paralyzed in bed with fear.
Even if they don't go there often, Huang Degong, who has already eaten ramen, will definitely go. A certain general who is a foodie is too lazy to go in person, so he will ask his soldiers to order and package the food. With this commander-in-chief "taking the lead", it is estimated that Yongwei will The consumption of camp will definitely not be low.
Starting from this month, officials have all enjoyed a salary increase, and the Yongwei camp is about to receive a large amount of silver reward. Therefore, even if seven noodle restaurants are opened in the capital at the same time, a certain prince will not let the nobles prepare for his own shop. The sales of the product are worrying.
"My dear friends, you don't need to reply to me immediately on how to choose the franchise model. You can think about it slowly based on your own situation. Just reply to me after three days. When enough store managers are trained, you can open stores all over the capital at the same time. The entire The process will take no less than ten days, and opening the store will require a lot of preparation, which should be in mid-April at the earliest!"
At present, there are only three ramen in the palace. Although they can be hired as store managers, Yaoji is still not confident about their skills. He hopes to let them stay in the palace for a while and wait until the ramen level is generally stable before letting them out. "Free range".
Not only that, but apprentices must be trained, otherwise the nobles will definitely be unhappy without ramen to eat. A certain prince didn't want to hear his beautiful biological mother nagging in his ears every day, and he couldn't return the favor. Mouth……
I believe that with the stimulation of thirty-two monthly salary, the prospective store managers will definitely work harder. After all, there are many royal chefs in the palace who can work alone, and there are only a few who make a lot of money, let alone such a God-given opportunity.
In fact, the imperial chefs all hope to go out as soon as possible. Although the title is gone, the associated risks are also gone. The imperial chefs also cook with their heads in their belts.
When you open a shop outside, it doesn't matter if you eat up a customer's stomach. No one else has a stomachache, but you are the only one with a stomachache. That means your own stomach is disobedient, and the blame can be easily thrown away.
In the back house, if a nobleman has diarrhea, just look at it. If you don't get fat and beat you up, you will be picked up. If you fall from above, you will be punished, and the cause must be found out.
"I would like to thank His Highness for your concern. I will definitely consider it carefully and not delay His Highness's plan!"
Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying had decided to open a shop after two bowls of ramen, but he was still hesitating between the two modes. It was unreasonable to discuss it with everyone in front of the prince.
The prince's arrangement put his thoughts into perspective, and it would be great if he could go back and think about it carefully. Although it was only a mere five thousand taels of silver, it was still money.
If you make the right move, opening a store in Tianjin, Baoding and other places is not a problem at all. Therefore, you must be cautious in the first step so that you can have a smooth road in the future.
"Yeah, that's good!"
Seven stores at least have an income of 7,000 taels. This chain store model is really overbearing. In the blink of an eye, several thousand taels of silver will fall into his pocket.
If the barbecue restaurant and hotpot restaurant can follow up in time, it will be equivalent to taking money directly from Xungui's pocket, and they can't stop it!
Based on this investment scale, each of their families must have a net worth of at least 100,000 yuan or two, otherwise they would not be able to bear such a toss.
It's almost squeezed out for the time being. If you squeeze it any more, you may really vomit blood and turn it into a selling product. It's better to stop it when it's good.
