Suri approached the clerk who was copying the tax list and glanced at it pretending to be casual.
Suddenly his pupils shrank sharply.
"The Ning Family Perfume Shop only paid a tax of 137,500 in May and June?!"
How many bottles of perfume do you have to sell to pay so much tax? !
Ning Wuyan saw Su Rui shouting these words in shock, and said casually: "Only yesterday's pre-sale, 20,000 bottles were sold in the morning, and I am planning to produce another 30,000 bottles. I paid the taxes together, plus the previous ones, I didn’t expect there would be so much.”
Fortunately, Boss Zhao is very efficient and many people sent him money yesterday.
Otherwise, he would have to go to the bank to withdraw money to pay taxes, but he would really take off his pants and fart.
Su Rui felt very complicated when she saw that Ning Wuyan could still look calm despite paying so much tax.
You haven't thought of it yet? !
Su Rui knew that Jinling's business was booming and the one-in-twenty tax was quite high.
But without the "twenty", where did the "one" come from?
Ning Wuhuang must have felt weak when counting money yesterday, right?
"The tax paid by Mr. Ning's perfume shop is worth the tax paid by all the private shops in Jinling this season combined."
Su Rui was not giving a high hat to Ning Wuhuang, but was telling a fact.
In other words.
Jinling Mansion’s tax revenue this quarter has doubled compared to before!
The government's tax revenue is basically supported by tax collection, so it is an important criterion for evaluating the performance of local officials.
"When Jiang Yan comes back tomorrow and knows that there is such a large amount of taxes on the government's books, he will definitely come to Mr. Ning in person to say thank you."
Su Rui had to lament that he was not as good as his classmates and friends when it came to Ning Wuchang.
No wonder Jiang Yan fought tooth and nail not to get an official title, but also to keep Ning safe.
This son is the wealth of Daxing!
"I really don't dare to agree to what Mr. Su said. Paying taxes is what merchants should do... Besides, according to Mr. Su, the taxes I pay should be higher than the combined quarterly taxes of the entire Jinling private shop. A little more."
Ning Wuyang winked at another account.
Only then did Suri remember.
Ning Wushan just mentioned that there is an ice-making workshop.
The taxation of workshops is different from the taxation of shops. As long as it does not involve retail sales, but only production and wholesale, other taxes and fees may be incurred in the future due to different regional taxation.
Therefore, workshops generally charge a 1-in-50 tax rate.
Suri actually didn't pay much attention to the workshop's taxes, but when he picked up the tax account and saw the tax amount of 20,000, he was stunned.
Can an ice-making workshop earn an income of one million?
This is a quarterly tax not an annual tax.
The key is.
The registration date of Ningjia Ice Workshop is June 27th.
That is to say.
"Mr. Ning, your ice shop sold one million taels of ice in three days?"
If the ice from the ice shop is sold in water, after several hands, the person who finally spends money to buy the ice will spend at least three million.
Is there no charge for ice in Jinling?
Or are there so many extremely rich people in Jinling that the streets are ruined?
Is this still the Jinling Mansion in his mind?
Su Rui felt that after staying in the government office for a few days, it felt like he had been living in seclusion in the mountains for more than ten years, and he didn't know that so many changes had happened in the outside world.
Faced with Su Rui's shock, Ning Wuyang showed him the accounts in a state of laughter and tears.
"Mr. Su, we didn't sell one million yuan of ice, we sold it in advance. This ice is made of saltpeter and can be used for many purposes. In fact, pure ice has the most pre-sales, accounting for more than half of the total revenue."
Su Rui opened the specific accounts and took a look.
The person who paid the most money was none other than Shen Youchu standing next to him.
There were two other people who looked familiar.
Princess Xian and Miss Ji Jin from Ji Mansion.
Let’s look at the price of pure ice—one hundred cents per catty? !
Suri took a breath and turned the page to look at other pre-sale accounts.
After seeing the price clearly, I finally understood how Ning Wuhuang managed to sell one million ice cubes in just three days.
Cheap!
Too cheap!
"Mr. Ning, is the cost of making ice from saltpeter so low?"
"right."
Ning Wuyan didn't hide his secrets. After explaining the general method of making ice from saltpeter and its recyclability.
Suri and the clerks and government servants who recorded the tax accounts were all dumbfounded as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
In their knowledge, only winter ice is stored and sold in the summer. This is the first time they know that a certain medicinal material can be made into ice cubes after being soaked in water.
"Mr. Ning, how did you know the ratio?"
Don't look at what Ning Wushu said very simply.
But Suri knew that he must have experienced hundreds of failures before he achieved success.
A pound of saltpeter is not cheap. I don't know how much saltpeter was wasted before I successfully mastered the temperature of making ice.
"I tried it out bit by bit. This recipe actually comes from my daily observation. I buy a lot of saltpeter in summer. Occasionally put some water next to it and it will feel cool. I tried it many times later. , finally figured out how to make ice.”
Ning Wushan's words were in line with Su Rui's guess about the matter.
Those who heard that their hearts were burning were also poured a basin of ice water on them.
They also wanted to buy a few kilograms of saltpeter to try making ice.
As a result, it will take many attempts and failures, and no one is willing to deal with the unknown.
A million dollars for selling ice is indeed eye-watering, but if you spend a large sum of money, it will be wasted in the end, especially if you reuse saltpeter, you must use the still of the distillery, and ordinary people cannot get it. .
Su Rui re-examined Ning Wuyan in front of him and felt that his image suddenly became much taller.
This son is not only proficient in poetry, but also good at observation.
More importantly, even though it was all pre-sale, he was still willing to come and pay taxes step by step, which shows that he is an upright patriot.
"Mr. Ning, the quarterly tax you pay accounts for more than half of all the shops in Jinling. Don't worry, I will let Jiang Yanhaosheng take care of these two shops under your name. They will never be like the Ye family before. Let people influence your bottom line.”
When taxes are collected, achievements are obtained.
Su Rui must have something to say about the shops that support the Jinling tax.
Regarding this, Ning Wuxu had already guessed this when he paid taxes.
He also really needs the government to come forward to scare those young people who may covet ice-making recipes.
As long as he pays the tax first and sells ice cubes with Ning's label, if other private ice cubes are circulated on the market, the government can directly inspect them just because they do not pay taxes and disrupt the market.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your support. I will try to pay more taxes next season."
Ning Wuyang said it very seriously.
Su Rui was also excited when she heard this.
Nothing else.
Ning Wukong was able to make such a profit in less than two months.
If there are three full months from July to September, if there are no accidents, the tax amount in the next quarter will definitely be higher than now!
Thinking back to the Ye family, as one of the top three wealthy businessmen in Jinling, all the monthly taxes added up are only 70,000 to 80,000 taels throughout the year, which is not more than what the Ning family pays in a month.
Suri felt that this could serve as a model.
"good!"
"Mr. Ning has such ambition, he will definitely lead me to great business prosperity and take it to the next level!"
An idea that had sprouted in Su Rui's mind took root now and continued to grow under the stimulation of the tax. He couldn't hold it back and asked tentatively: "Mr. Ning's ambitions are all over the world. He shouldn't just open a shop in Jinling. I don't know if there are any." Don’t you have the idea of opening a shop in the capital?”
"If Mr. Ning doesn't want to go to the capital to open a shop, he can actually make friends with talented people from famous places and let more people know the title of Shixian."
