Further ahead is Youzhou.
They are currently stationed at a small town on the edge of Youzhou. From the small town to Youzhou, there is about forty miles.
They struggled around Jizhou for half a month. They entered from Handan at first, passed through Xingtai, Julu, Shoucheng, and Wucheng, and then directly entered the jurisdiction of Youzhou.
At this moment, Lu Songli planned to sell most of the medicinal materials one after another. She had already told Qin Heng to send people to the main city of Youzhou to find out about buyers who could afford their batch of goods.
They went there with samples of medicinal materials, and not long after, the people who inquired about the information came back. Not only did they bring back the approximate prices of the medicinal materials they had, but they also brought back a list of buyers who were interested in trading.
Everyone was surprised when they heard that the price they got back was three times the purchase price. If you calculate it this way, they actually made twice the profit this time?
Some people are already secretly counting on their fingers, calculating how much money they can get this time.
Their capital was the property seized in Qinglong Village. After calculation, if converted into silver, it would be about thirty thousand taels.
In fact, this amount of money is not that small. After all, Qinglong Village is a large village with more than 400 people. It eats a lot every day, and it raises bandits who eat and drink them all and have no idea of saving money.
Of the 30,000 taels, 20,000 taels were from the private treasury of the village owner Qiu Hai, and 10,000 taels were allocated from the large warehouse of Qinglong Village. Zhang Xian, the magistrate of Tonghua County, took away things worth 20,000 taels. Of these 1,000 taels, one thousand taels were various grains, which were added to the convoy.
Qiu Hai's private treasury was found by Qin Sheng and he directly rewarded them with 8,000 taels. Among them, Qin Sheng received four thousand taels alone, and all members of the reconnaissance team shared another four thousand taels.
The total amount of money that more than fifty of them can share is twenty-two thousand taels. In other words, if they successfully dispose of this batch of medicinal materials recently, can they get back 66,000 taels?
"That's a lot of money."
"Does business make money this way? Does it make money so fast?" someone murmured.
Is it much? Lu Songli didn't think so. She did a quick calculation and found that she could probably get around 5,000 taels. She personally felt that the rate of making money was still slow. Thinking about the painkillers she sold to Zhao Bin, she earned fifteen thousand taels in less than half a month. But there is no way, fat sheep are hard to come by. Just make do with it now, whatever you can earn is worth it, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
Lu Songli said, "Don't think this is a huge profit."
Almost everyone looked at her, including the three brothers of the Qin family, Xu Zheng, Yang Wei and others. If it doubled in half a month, wouldn't it be considered a huge profit?
Lu Songli sighed in her heart, these honest children.
"Think about it, doing business is risky. When you go out, you will inevitably encounter various disasters and accidents, natural disasters or man-made disasters, such as bandits and bandits, etc. If you are not careful, you will lose all your money, or even lose a little bit of time. If we do, we will even risk our lives. Therefore, we have to include these risks in our costs. Just this risk value alone will increase the cost by 50%, isn’t that excessive?"
Everyone's eyes widened even more. No, nothing happened along the way. Do you have to factor in the risk value along the way?
Most people just thought about it in their hearts, but Lu Mingzhi muttered what was in his mind, "No, second sister, is this a bit too much?" He said clearly that they had a safe journey.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Lu Mingzhi, their eyes full of admiration. In terms of courage, it has to be you, little brother Lu.
Qin Sheng next to him secretly gave Lu Mingzhi a tug.
Lu Mingzhi turned his head and looked at his second brother-in-law.
Qin Sheng lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice, "Stop talking and let your sister speak."
Lu Mingzhi:? ? ?
"Little brother, do you think I have increased the cost too much?" Lu Songli showed a loving smile to her stupid brother, "Our safe journey is all due to everyone's credit, and your second brother-in-law's credit. "
What happened to his second sister and second brother-in-law? Lu Mingzhi suddenly felt very full. Just now, the second brother-in-law asked him not to speak, and asked the second sister to say: Now the second sister specially brought the second brother-in-law out alone to praise him and support him.
Qin Sheng stood up straight, his back straightened unconsciously.
Qin Heng took over the conversation, "The sixth brother and sister are right. In fact, there are a lot of bandits and bandits in this area of Jizhou. Mainly there are forty or fifty people in our group, including thirty or forty strong men. They are very evil and look very ugly." Being easy to mess with saved me a lot of trouble.”
Lu Songli: "The most important thing is that everyone worked together to tear down Qinglong Village. The news of Qinglong Village being uprooted spread throughout Yanzhou and radiated to Jizhou. All the cottages in Jizhou should have heard about it. ”
You must know that those who engage in bandits and bandits have their own circles, and it is necessary to communicate with each other. Especially since Yanzhou and Jizhou border, the information is better.
Without this premise, even if Youzhou and Jizhou are bordering each other, it would not be that easy if it were another medicinal material dealer who wanted to bring this batch of medicinal materials safely out of Jizhou. It was they who used their strength to frighten these bandits so that they did not dare to act rashly.
Lu Songli guessed correctly. News came that Qinglong Village had been taken over. Their team also became famous. The bandits in Jizhou really avoided them like snakes and scorpions. This is the only businessman doing business in this winter, and it is easy to recognize.
Therefore, their convoy made such a big noise in Jizhou, and the copycat owners in Jizhou were as quiet as chickens.
Even though it was obvious that they were big fat sheep, the bandit village leaders only dared to slobber secretly behind their backs, but they persuaded themselves one by one that this must be their trick to lure the enemy. It was so treacherous! Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, otherwise you will fall into a trap! Can't see - can't see -
Each one of them hypnotized themselves, pretending that they were blind and couldn't see Lu Songli and the other fat sheep jumping around on their territory.
Qinglong Village is a lesson learned from the past. There were more than 200 young men in Qinglong Village. Wasn't it destroyed just because someone said it was going to be destroyed?
The people from Yang Wei Escort didn't react at first. Only later did they realize that it was a little quiet along the way. There was no place in Jizhou for them to show off their business capabilities.
"So, we have made this journey safe because of our ability, but it does not mean that the risk does not exist. The cost should be increased by 50%."
Big guy: Okay, let’s do whatever you say, I guess you have a point.
Lu Songli continued, "The losses we incurred along the way must also be taken into account, and the cost will increase by another 50%."
Brothers: profiteers! Even if they don't buy medicinal materials along the way, they still have to take this road to Pingzhou. Is there no loss? She still wants to regard these losses as costs and spread them on the cost of medicinal materials?
"After all this calculation, do you still think we make more money?" Lu Songli asked.
Everyone shook their heads. With an algorithm like yours, no one dares to say that they are making too much money.
Lu Songli nodded with satisfaction, "It's what we deserve to make double the profit. Everyone just accepts it with peace of mind."
For this price, Lu Songli accepted it without feeling that it was too much. The middlemen make the difference. They have actually eliminated many middlemen. One middleman does not make much, but what about two, three or four? If you increase the price step by step, won’t the price just go up? They buy it cheaply, that's what they do.
"Master, I think the quality of our medicinal materials is good, and the price can go up." Xiao Wu said.
As soon as Xiao Wu said this, many people took a breath. Isn't it enough for a profiteer to earn twice as much? So, they are still too conscientious?
Others looked at him sideways.
Lu Songli encouraged him with a smile, "How much higher do you think it is appropriate?" Xiao Wu was one of her recent apprentices. She found that this young man was very smart and learned everything quickly, so she was very happy to give him the opportunity to practice. and growth.
"I think it is okay to increase the purchase price of the origin by another 50%, but I would rather increase it by 30% or 20%, which will be more conducive to our shipments."
"Wu Ren thought it over very well, just do as he said!" Lu Songli made the final decision, "The price has been decided. Let's all go to work. We will work hard for two days and try to realize all of this batch of medicinal materials."
Everyone dispersed, Qin Sheng didn't leave, and no one else could pull him away.
Qin Sheng made a straight shot, "You treat Wu Ren a little differently."
"Really?" Wu Ren, every time she heard this name, she wanted to laugh.
Qin Sheng looked at her with a smile on her face and didn't understand why she would be so happy when she saw Wu Ren. Wu Ren is not as tall as him, his face is not as good as his, his legs are not as long as his, and besides, he is definitely not as easy to touch as him!
Lu Songli stroked her forehead. She could tell now that her eldest baby was unhappy. God knows, she was just thinking of the Wuren mooncakes in later generations! She found an opportunity later and took him to the nearby woods to comfort him.
