What Gao Yi means, in summary, is that light artillery has relatively low technical requirements for craftsmen. It can be built directly with him as the technical guidance, but the same cannot be said for medium and large artillery. More professional craftsmen must be employed, such as specific A craftsman in the army.
His statement was basically in line with Gao Yi's pragmatic expectations. Because the chamber pressure of small artillery is low, the requirements for barrel strength are relatively low. In this way, even ordinary craftsmen can handle it, and Gao Yi himself only needs to do technical supervision. The bore pressure of medium and large artillery is much higher, and the manufacturing of the barrel is more difficult. It is not just a matter of thickening the barrel wall, so ordinary craftsmen without specialized skills cannot do it even with Gao Yi's guidance.
Gao pragmatic thought for a moment and gave up his previous plan to trial-produce all the firearms. He said, "Let's just focus on the new single-shot bird blunderbuss and the pull-fire grenade. The thing is that I think simply, our technical talent reserve is not enough, we will discuss it later after I slowly recruit more people."
Gao Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed: "Yes, young master, I understand."
Gao pragmatic nodded, turned his attention to the face of the last person, and said: "Gao Jiong, your task is not light either... I need you to serve as my special envoy."
Gao Jiong was the youngest among these people, only seventeen years old. Hearing this, he was a little eager to try, and asked: "Young master, we are still acquainted with the younger ones. Running a little is nothing, but I don't know what to run for." place?"
Gao pragmatically stretched out his fingers and told him one by one: "Of course you stay with me in normal times. Needless to say, then you need to stay in Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou, Kaiping, Sanshenyuan and Bailixia Liu Running back and forth from place to place, I not only understand the actual situation everywhere, but also convey my instructions.”
Gao Jiong clasped his fists hard, bowed and replied: "Yes, young master!"
Gao Pragmatic was quite satisfied with Gao Jiong's performance. Unlike other young people, who felt slighted when they heard that they were just being a mouthpiece.
You know, in fact, not everyone can be this mouthpiece. He must not only have very firm loyalty, but also have keen observation skills and excellent ability to deal with people. In this, except for loyalty, the other two points Gao Jiong is not sure that the current Gao Jiong has met the requirements. However, the fact is that he only has such a candidate available now, so he has to use it temporarily with the mentality of cultivating talents. .
After arranging their next errands, Gao Pragmatic reassured Gao Guoyan and repeatedly said that he would take the time to discuss the "Big Eclipse Technique" with him. After all, he finally got rid of this math maniac, and then returned to his home. Small courtyard.
But even so, he didn't have much time to rest, because Wei Ximin heard that Gao Pragmatic returned to Beijing and was already in a hurry to report on the sales situation of "Jinghua Soap" in Beijing in the past few days.
In general, with the multi-pronged approach of highly pragmatic multiple preparations, hunger marketing and other methods, the sales situation of Jinghua Soap is very good - not a small good, but a great one: the sales volume of Guoshi Soap has increased from the first day. Sales are limited to 2,000 yuan per day. Since there are five stores, the actual shipment volume of each store is only 400 yuan. Basically, it is sold out in less than half an hour after the store opened, with a "out of stock" sign.
The hot sales scene even caused squeezing and stampede incidents. If Gao Pragmatic hadn't been prepared in advance, each store would have retained twenty "former thieves" from Bailixia to serve as temporary security personnel. Doctor, I'm afraid that someone may die.
Although in this case, even if a murder did occur, it would not be the fault of Jinghua Soap, but it is not a good sign to "see blood" after opening. After Jinghua Soap dealt with it decisively and sent the injured to the hospital for free, it in turn made Jinghua Soap's reputation great. When the people in Beijing heard about it, everyone had to say, "The owner of Jinghua Soap is a conscientious person."
However, the boom in sales led to a shortage of supply, and Jinghua Soap seemed to be somewhat unprepared. As a result, long queues formed outside five stores as soon as the curfew was lifted.
It was not until the fifth day that Jinghua Soap publicly announced that it would "try its best" to increase daily shipments - in fact, it only increased the daily shipment volume by 1,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan.
Obviously, with such a hot sales situation, this mere increase of one thousand yuan is completely a drop in the bucket. As soon as the curfew was lifted, the long queues immediately formed outside the store did not ease at all, even if it were not for the fact that there were people wearing black clothes. There are "high-level servants" who are always on duty to maintain sales order, and I'm afraid that a full-scale martial arts show will be performed in this queue area every day.
Now, it is already the twelfth day of Jinghua Soap's opening. The cumulative sales volume of Jinghua Soap has exceeded 30,000 yuan, and the cumulative turnover is 31,100 taels of silver!
Since the actual cost of soap is extremely low, the gross profit has reached nearly 25,000 taels. Even after subtracting various labor expenses, store costs, etc., it is absolutely certain that the net profit will be at least 20,000 taels.
This really makes Wei Ximin restless every day, and he has seen what it means to make money every day - you must know that the actual surplus income of Sanshenyuan in a year was converted into silver and calculated at a hundred taels, but now?
Wei Ximin couldn't believe it or imagine it.
However, one thing he knew was that as the material transportation route of Gao Xiaozhuang's soap factory in Sanshenyuan gradually stabilized and consolidated, the current soap production volume was actually far greater than the shipment volume. So when he heard that Gao Pingshi had returned to Beijing, he immediately tried every means to "escape" from the store - it was really like running away.
He felt that he had to ask the young master to speak and quickly increase shipments. First of all, the profits are really scary. Although it is thrilling to earn this money, it cannot be more satisfying. The production capacity of Sanshenyuan has exceeded 7,000 yuan per day. If they are all sold in the capital, the profits will be at least doubled. !
But what surprised him was that after hearing this, Gao Pragmatic looked happy at first, but then he fell into thinking. The final answer made Wei Ximin wonder if his extremely smart young master had suddenly become stupid. .
Because Gao pragmatically ordered: "The daily shipment volume of the capital remains unchanged at 3,000 yuan. For the goods from Sanshenyuan, 1,000 yuan will be left for storage every day. The other 3,000 yuan will be divided into three batches, each batch of 1,000 yuan." One batch was sent to Kaiping to build a warehouse and be stored, one batch was shipped to the capital for storage, and the last batch was sent back to Xinzheng. By the way, I told my mother that I was fine in the capital. These soaps would be continuously sent to Xinzheng, please consider her discretion. Disposal."
