He understood what Zhao Ming meant.
This is Yan Laoxi's territory, and it is also his Zhao Ming's territory, but don't forget where this mine is!
He had heard that Yan Laoxi had many directly controlled mines under his name and had made a lot of money for them.
But those mines all have one thing in common, they are either within Shanxi Province, or they are in areas that can be reached quickly under his command.
But in this mine right now, even if Yan Laoxi had an idea, he couldn't do anything.
Send people to station? How many people do you need to send?
During these days of living in Huozhongtun, Boss Guo has been observing the situation here a lot.
The herdsmen here are not blindly obedient to Chief Zhao, but they have obviously followed his instructions and have a certain degree of prestige.
How long has it been since the last time you came here? Less than half a month, right?
But now that the heavy snow is coming soon, it is unknown to Boss Guo whether Chahar can send troops to fight back against the Outer Mongolians.
There is even a high probability that he thinks it is impossible, or he will wait for the spring of next year.
Just like the last time the Outer Mongols went south, they swept through most of Inner Mongolia at the beginning of the year. It was not until the snow melted in spring that the army went north to counterattack.
And Yan Laoxi, who is now in charge of this territory, has no idea what his subordinates will make.
The most cost-effective way is to do as last time. From the perspective of the old man above, the herdsmen on the grassland are like the pasture for the coming spring. If a batch of them die, it will grow out in the coming spring.
"Okay, now let's do some calculations. Boss Guo, according to your estimate of the market, if you take 1,000 prisoners of war and exclude other expenses, how much can we earn every month?" Zhao Ming looked at Boss Guo with a smile.
"Three hundred oceans is just a little more!"
Boss Guo quickly gave the answer. This number may not seem much at first glance, but considering Dayang’s purchasing power, it is already very good.
Although it may be more profitable to sell cattle, sheep, and horses on the grassland, don't forget that this is extra income.
"What if there are a thousand more people?"
Zhao Ming continued to ask questions, and Boss Guo's mind was racing and he quickly gave the answer.
"Seven hundred oceans a month is just a lot more! The more mines you mine, the more profits you can make!"
"What if there are five thousand or even ten thousand prisoners of war?"
Hearing Zhao Ming's continued questioning, Boss Guo's mouth was already a little dry.
This time he thought for a long time before giving an uncertain answer.
"Maybe three to five thousand oceans?"
Achieving this amount of profit every month is already considered a huge deal.
Boss Guo is thinking, if this is the case, let alone a lifetime business, even if it can only be done for five or ten years, then he can buy a small bungalow in Peking, Jinmen, or Shanghai and hire a few servants. , maybe you won’t have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life.
Zhang Kai on the side also felt hot all over. He couldn't help but take off the sheep felt hat on his head and scratch his hair. Wisps of heat steamed from the top of his head.
Let alone 5,000 oceans a month, even if it is only 1,000 oceans, it would be 12,000 oceans a year, and 60,000 oceans in five years.
If it is 5,000 oceans a month, it will be 300,000 oceans in five years!
Rich!
It’s about to be posted!
Zhang Kai's palms and backs were sweating.
Zhao Ming had given him a lot of small yellow croakers before, but the total value of them was equivalent to 20,000 to 30,000 oceans, and after giving pensions to the brothers who died in the war, only 10,000 oceans were sent to his family.
He already felt that these ten thousand oceans were enough for his family to live for several lifetimes, but now he suddenly felt that the ten thousand oceans were running out.
If there are thirty....no! Even if it is only 100,000 yuan, the family can hire an extra servant.
Moreover, the family can move out of the old shabby little house in the city and move into a brand new small bungalow, and the wife at home can live a life like a rich wife.
Thinking of this, Boss Guo and Zhang Kai became excited.
Looking at these, Zhao Ming nodded secretly, but this was not enough.
He said calmly, "Then think about it again, this is a grassland. What is most common on the grassland?"
These words made Boss Guo's head feel like an electric current flashed across his mind, his eyes widened and his lips began to tremble.
yes!
I actually forgot about the most important thing on the grassland: horsepower!
Boss Guo slapped his forehead and secretly regretted his stupidity.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Boss Guo, do the math. If I invest in horses and manpower, how much can you reduce the cost?
How much more can our profits increase? "
There was no need for Zhao Ming to say anything more, Boss Guo started to talk about it.
“Horsepower transportation is limited, but as long as there are enough horses, there is no shortage of horses here!
By transporting it to Zhangjiakou by horse power, and then passing the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, my coal mine can be rolled out quickly.
Moreover, this money must be given to Marshal Yan. Although he is greedy for money, as long as he is on the line with his subordinates, our transportation costs can be reduced further!
The money given to Marshal Yan can be offset by the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes on transportation.
This means our labor costs are pure profit.
If there are a thousand people in January, our profit can reach 600 or even 800 yuan.
If there are 5,000 people, our profit can reach 3,000 oceans, or even 4,000 oceans!
If there were 10,000 people...we could lie down and sleep on the ocean. "
Boss Guo couldn't help but rub his hands as he spoke. Now he didn't have any worries as before. His eyes sparkled as if he saw a lot of silvery ocean waving to him.
Zhao Ming also smiled and nodded. Boss Guo is indeed a talent.
I had only roughly drawn a pie, but this guy had already figured out all the subsequent benefits, saving me a lot of confusion.
However, Zhao Ming still shook his head, smiled and said again, "Boss Guo, if I told you that we will double this transaction next year, would you believe it?"
"ah?"
Boss Guo is a little confused. Is there any profit margin here?
But no matter how much production costs are squeezed, the profit cannot be nearly doubled, right?
Boss Guo's confusion did not escape Zhao Ming's gaze.
"Boss Guo, since you are in business, do you know anything about international business?" Zhao Ming asked lightly.
These words immediately made Boss Guo a little speechless, and they really touched on his knowledge blind spot.
He was a bandit leader before, and later started a white-glove business relying on his relatives' connections in the army. However, he had only been in business for seven or eight years, let alone dealing with foreign businessmen.
"Uh...Mr. Zhao, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. I only know that the domestic economy is affected by the international economy to a certain extent.
But what impact does this have on our business? "Boss Guo asked suspiciously.
"Um!"
Zhao Ming is already very satisfied that Boss Guo can say this.
