"In addition to the ten thousand bottles of perfume contract, there is also a supply of saltpeter.
"Master Ning knows that you don't have that much silver, so he asked you to use saltpeter as an IOU to pay for the 200,000 taels of perfume."
After hearing Shen Youchu's explanation, Zhou Jingxian knew that she was thinking in the wrong direction. Her heart was shocked and her eyes could not help but turn red.
Mr. Ning is really so considerate.
Twenty taels of perfume, and she was allowed to exchange saltpeter for the silver.
Meeting Mr. Ning must be the greatest luck in her life.
Shen Youchu saw Zhou Jingxian looking like she was about to cry. He had never seen her in such a mess before. He felt quite distressed. He grabbed her arm and shook her coquettishly: "Jingxian, look at your eyes, which are as red as rabbits after eating." Let’s have a good night’s sleep~~”
"Sleep, wait until I arrange for my men to give the still to Mr. Ning and then sleep."
Zhou Jingxian briefly browsed the contents of the contract.
Due to pricing reasons, she needs to pick up the 10,000 bottles of perfume herself.
And the production of perfume will be done according to the needs of the shop first. The delivery date has not been determined, but it can be half a month at the earliest and a month at the earliest.
Zhou Jingxian had no objections to this.
The price of saltpeter is temporarily based on the wholesale price after the saltpeter is transported to Jinling, due to factors such as mine output, weather, and transportation losses.
More refunds and less compensation.
After Zhou Jingxian signed, she wrote another letter to Zheng Donglin.
Ask him to speed up the transfer of another 10,000 kilograms of saltpeter and send it to Zhangjiazhuang.
Shen Youchu, who was sitting next to him, saw the contents of the letter, tilted his head and asked curiously: "Jingxian, how much does a pound of saltpeter cost?"
"I remember that the saltpeter medicinal materials that were shipped to Jinling to deal with impurities were sold for fifty cents per catty in the summer and forty cents per catty in the off-season."
The price of saltpeter is not that expensive among medicinal materials.
Ten thousand kilograms of saltpeter is actually worth only five hundred taels of silver based on the wholesale price.
After conversion, even if there are 21 bottles of perfume, you can only buy fifty bottles and resell them on the black market for one hundred taels each. Fifty bottles can be sold for five thousand taels of silver. After all costs are eliminated, the net profit is three hundred taels. Qianliang is no problem.
But if these ten thousand kilograms of saltpeter were placed in the mines, a dozen workers could mine them in one day due to the excellent locations of the mines.
In other words.
As long as you guard these saltpeter pits, a dozen workers mine, a few workers load the truck, plus the transportation costs, as long as you arrive at Zhangjiazhuang and exchange it for perfume, you will make a net profit of three thousand taels!
"I still need to write another letter to my father...forget it. When the token is delivered to me, I will cut it off first and then report it to you."
It turns out that this is the fun of making money!
It was the first time Zhou Jingxian knew how easy it was to make money from money, and her blood boiled instantly.
With the incentive of money, I don’t seem to be so sleepy anymore.
Shen Youchu was also frightened by Zhou Jingxian's quotation, so sleepyheads flew away. She dragged the excited Zhou Jingxian and reminded: "Jingxian, don't you want to open an ice drink shop? If you are short of money, I can start with you." I’ll lend you one hundred thousand taels.”
If she remembered correctly.
Today, Mr. Ning probably used one pound of saltpeter ice to make about two pounds of pure ice.
She also thought that in order to overwhelmingly spread ice drinks to all aspects of Jinling, she might earn less by selling one tael of pure ice for half a tael of silver at half the market price.
At this time, she knew that the production cost of pure ice was only twenty-five cents per pound. She felt that her ice drink shop was more profitable than a perfume shop.
In addition to the cost, Mr. Ning only received 20% of her dry shares, which was a bit of a loss.
Shen Youchu told Zhou Jingxian this account.
Zhou Jingxian was silent for a long time, then grabbed her hand and said firmly: "Thank you Youchu, I want these one hundred thousand taels!"
In the past, Zhou Jingxian would never have accepted these one hundred thousand taels.
This is the first time.
But Zhou Jingxian knew that this might not be the last time.
According to the price at which Mr. Ning sells her perfume, a pound of pure ice is sold to three of their ice drink shops. The external price is unknown, but their price should be around 100 yuan per pound.
Even if it's two hundred cents.
One kilogram of pure ice can be used to make several cups of iced drinks, and each cup costs one tael. They can also make millions of taels of it by relying on the two months of intense heat!
"When I was young, I not only wanted to open a shop in Jinling, but I also wanted to write to my father and ask him to find a few suitable shops in Jing'an City, and then transport the saltpeter directly to Jing'an City to make ice."
"By the way, I want to tell Grandpa Huang about this and recommend Mr. Ning to be the royal merchant who makes ice. In this way, the royal estate does not have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to store ice every year. Mr. Ning can also make perfume without worrying about others. Steal the recipe for making ice.”
Shen Youchu saw that Zhou Jingxian was so protective of Ning Wuhan and was so eager to write a letter that she accidentally knocked over Mo. She quickly reminded her.
"Jingxian, don't worry. Your family is the only one in Daxing that has a saltpeter mine. As long as you don't want to steal Mr. Ning's prescription, no one has the ability to steal his prescription. Besides, I'm the only one left."
Zhou Jingxian, who was wiping ink with paper, suddenly shuddered and calmed down.
think carefully.
Mr. Ning is a person who will not suffer losses.
He did not participate in such a profitable ice-drink industry and gave away the opportunity to make big money to her, Youchu and Miss Ji. He only received 20% of the shares, and how much of the shares he gave depends on their conscience.
There is no guarantee that he is not seeking the protection of their power.
On the surface, exchanging saltpeter for perfume means you can make money without spending any money, but in fact, isn't this a way to restrict her and her father?
Zhou Jingxian couldn't tell for a moment whether she was being too considerate or being business-savvy.
"Jingxian, don't be like Jin'er and think too much."
Shen Youchu didn't know what Zhou Jingxian was thinking on her gloomy face. She gently put her arms around Zhou Jingxian's waist and rubbed the scent of plum blossoms on her body.
"Anyway, the meat will rot in the pot sooner or later. If you protect Mr. Ning's interests, you should treat it as protecting my interests, hehehe."
"..."
Zhou Jingxian cleaned up the desktop and reorganized her mood.
When putting pen to paper.
Without any personal emotions, just from the perspective of making money, let the father protect Ning Wuhuang's interests.
The recipe for making ice from saltpeter was exclusively the right of the Ning family.
Only in this way can the interests of her father's mine be preserved and prevent the jealous Jin Wang faction from taking the opportunity to cause trouble and destroy the method of making money that she finally found.
…
Ning Wuyan didn't know that he was simply short of money. In addition, he knew that Zhou Jingxian was short of money, so he simply bartered.
It makes Zhou Jingxian think so much, and also accomplishes many things for him.
If he knew, he would definitely give a thumbs up and say "well done"!
The reason why he never considered that King Kang would try to steal his recipe for making ice with saltpeter.
Just as Zhou Jingxian thought.
As long as King Kang has a conflict with him, the King of Jin faction will take advantage of the situation and it will be unclear who will own this set of interests.
In addition, because of the wine gift, the emperor's trust in the Ning family, except for the past friendship with Zhou An, would think of using the killer raised by Boss Ye to get rid of him. King Kang and he have a community of interests.
No need to backstab him.
What's more, the two giants of the Shen family and the Ji family were involved, and they learned that King Kang was acting against the will... Unless King Kang only cared about immediate interests and did not care about the gains and losses of the throne, he would not be able to do such a stupid thing of killing the goose and taking the eggs.
After Shen Youchu left, he gathered nearby villagers overnight and began to build a simple workshop on the compacted wasteland to make 50,000 bottles of perfume.
Nowadays, when using a distiller, you don’t need to hide it. You only need to build a simple shed to protect it from wind and rain.
The rest of the place where the perfume rests is the centerpiece.
He specially bought blue bricks and asked nearby carpenters to cut bamboo to make shelves.
With homemade ice cubes for cooling, you don’t have to consider the location near a pond.
It depends on the speed of Daxing people's always first-class infrastructure.
On the ground, brick buildings were built in the middle of the night.
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the apricot forest, the mottled light spots and the sweet fragrance of apricot rushed in from the carriage window. Ning Wuchang stretched and sat up, looking at the Jinling Tower not far away, with a slight smile on his lips. Yang.
"Ning Wuhao, the wealthy businessman from Jinling, is back!"
