Take the mall to Datang

"Now there is not a shortage of fire sources. The mall is very popular but the main consumer goods are still very limited. The luxury goods area on the first floor has not sold much so far. The clothing area sells very well, but there is no need to replenish it yet. goods, less than half of the goods delivered last time were sold," Caiyi said.

"That's good, don't delay the business of the mall, you want the market to keep an eye on it." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Madam, don't worry, I will take care of these things." Caiyi said.

While the women were talking, Du Qianyu walked in from the outside. After seeing the women, he immediately said, "Have you finished the accounts? I'll go and count the money."

"This is half of the accounts, and the other half has not been counted yet, let's make this part first." Dugu Ruolan handed the account book in her hand to Du Qianyu.

Du Qianyu is very experienced in things like checking accounts and reconciling goods. This is similar to counting food and grass for soldiers and horses. As long as the accounts and existing goods are consistent and consistent, Du Qianyu has been doing this counting all the time. matter.

The women's division of labor in the Yuan family's manor is very clear. According to Yuan Shan's words, people must fulfill their responsibilities and make the best use of everything, so that life in the manor will be harmonious and beautiful, and everyone can make progress.

While they were talking, the concierge's bell rang, and one could tell it was his own carriage team returning. Yanbei led the team to Chengdu to pull back the cotton. This was already the fifth trip this month, but today The difference is that in addition to cotton, several carts of money came and went.

At the moment, the money was being transported to the outer courtyard, and Jiang E was taking care of it in the outer courtyard. After a while, she ran to the inner courtyard and said, "Madam, the Cotton Chamber of Commerce has sent over this month's money."

While Yanbei was transporting cotton, half of the cotton was supplied to the cotton factory. After the transportation and horse expenses were paid off, Yanbei was brought back together with Yuanshan’s dividend. It didn’t have much money, but this month Cotton production has increased a lot, and Yuanshan's dividend is half of the usual amount.

The main reason why the Cotton Chamber of Commerce has stopped recently is that most of the shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce are implementing the Prince’s corn project, and since the opening of the cotton factory in Yuanshan’s Hepingfang Mall, the Cotton Chamber of Commerce has begun to hoard cotton cloth, no longer a production A batch of sales.

These businessmen are very shrewd. After this period of tossing, the shareholders of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce have already earned back the cost of investment. Now their hearts have stabilized and they are pursuing more profits. That is the garment processing proposed by Yuan Shan. .

The merchants have all seen the success of the Hepingfang Mall. The clothing area on the second floor buys clothes made of cotton cloth. Now the sales are booming. Even merchants like the Cotton Chamber of Commerce can’t help but buy some to give to their wives. Meiqie, they saw the business opportunities in the clothing market, so after discussions among shareholders and the opinions given by the management, they decided to start stockpiling goods, and began to process clothing products for sale in a planned way. The required sales industries, stores Waiting is still dominated by the Cotton Chamber of Commerce.

Now the Cotton Chamber of Commerce is an interest group, and what these businessmen know best is that cooperation makes money.

Because from the establishment of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, they realized that in the cotton cloth industry, they would become the pioneers and leaders in the silver and Tang cloth industry, and the part sold before that would go into the new one after the payment was paid. benefit distribution model.

These product projects were originally led by Yuanshan, but Yuanshan's performance in the Cotton Chamber of Commerce was not very obvious during this time. Most of the work was handled by Ma Zhou, but for the projects of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, it seems It has nothing to do with Yuan Shan, but the imitation is indeed Yuan Shan's routine.

In this way, the members of the Chamber of Commerce felt very awkward, because it was agreed from the very beginning that the content of Yuanshan's shareholding included the development of future products, and the income from this part would be higher than the profit of cotton cloth, but Yuanshan Goodness has not been realized, maybe the businessmen are too anxious, but now these people have their own ideas.

This is how Yuanshan's income will be settled this month. From next month, apart from the sales of cotton cloth, Yuanshan will not have any income from other cotton products. What is even more shameless is the Cotton Chamber of Commerce. The clothing styles used are all produced by imitating the clothes in the clothing area of ​​Hepingshang Mall.

Chapter 234 Don't Seek the Best but Seek the Most Expensive

In the era when there was no patent rights in the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Shan was ineffective every day, and the only thing he could rely on was the power of the imperial aristocrats, but Yuan Shan was not very strong in these background relationships, besides, he I don't want to worry about these, because his vision is far away.

The influence of cotton cloth in the Tang Dynasty is obvious. It is presumed that these cloths will soon replace silk and become the "new currency" of the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Shan understands the choices of these merchants. If it were him, he might follow everyone else. Do it, this will not affect Yuanshan's status in the Chamber of Commerce and the part that will be used for dividends.

To be honest, Yuan Shan didn't have so much time to make the Cotton Chamber of Commerce develop better. Once the Chamber of Commerce fell apart, it would not be a bad thing. At that time, the price of cotton might increase slightly, but the increase would not be too exaggerated.

Yuanshan used the Cotton Chamber of Commerce to realize that the common people can afford cotton cloth and make a cotton coat for the winter, which is enough and a good thing.

As for the distribution of benefits in the later period, Yuan Shan has not actually thought about it, and it is even more unlikely now, because he is very busy now.

Dugu Ruolan came over with many maids, brought several boxes of money back to the inner house, and immediately said: "Look, now we need to count some more money."

"Caiyi, go and call Jiang'e in, it will be very tiring for the few of us to count so much money," Dugu Ruolan said.

"I'll ask someone to go." Caiyi agreed, and then went to the outer courtyard. After a while, Jiang E came over and began to join in the work of counting money.

Yuan Shan didn't know what was happening in the manor at this moment, and he didn't know that the people from the Cotton Chamber of Commerce were arbitrarily advocating to start selling clothes by imitating the clothes made by Yuan's Manor. He is now devoting all his attention to making soap.

Let the workers make it in an orderly manner, while he used the soap he made to melt it again, and then added some flower petal spices, and some added some spices.

That's right, Yuan Shan is making soap. The soap is melted twice as the base soap, and then new raw materials are added to solidify again, and then it becomes a piece of fragrant soap. Now these soaps made by Yuan Shan have the flower language series, which is The soap made by adding various flower petals, and some are added with spices, which smell very special and fragrant.

These soaps will be sold as high-end products. In order to meet the commercial sales standards, Yuanshan also asked people to reduce the size of the soap and soap when they were cut into pieces, and in this way, they are smaller than the soaps of later generations. They all cost five pennies a piece, while a small piece of soap costs twenty to thirty pennies. It is said that the price is so shocking that it is really a profiteer.

But Yuanshan must follow the market rules when doing business. Rare things are more expensive. Besides, this kind of things that are unique to the Tang Dynasty will not be sold at a higher price. It is very likely that those wealthy people will not be able to use them. Because a habit is not seeking the best but seeking the most expensive.

Yuan Shan knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he hoarded soap honestly, as a high-end daily necessities, it would definitely be welcomed by the rich.

Expansion of production is not a matter of high output and high profit, which should be determined according to market demand.

Yuan Shan is already fascinated by making handmade soaps. It is very beautiful to see the various colors mixed together.

The color of each piece of handmade soap is different after mixing. This is the joy of homemade.

Just finished making a new pot of soap, Yang Wu came to watch Yuan Shan make handmade soap.

Seeing Yuanshan stirring there with a glass and a glass rod felt very curious.

"Master, what are these colorful things?" Yang Wu asked.

Yuan Shan took a bite of a cucumber and said, "Cucumber puree, carotene, watermelon juice, ginger powder, fennel powder, etc."

"Master, are you making soap or cooking? The raw materials are all vegetables and seasonings." Yang Wu asked doubtfully.

"That's right, these common things are used to color soap. Of course, pollen is also available, but it is too troublesome to extract pollen, so we only use flower petals, and these vegetables and seasonings are simpler." Yuan Shan said.

"Master, is this really okay?" Yang Wu still couldn't believe it.

Who made Yuan Shan's recipe use ingredients that are completely out of order, and it feels like a joke.

"Yang Wu, don't you have confidence in me?" Yuan Shan asked.

"No, it's just that what the young master did is too strange, and it takes a process to accept it." Yang Wudao.

"Okay, I'll give you time, but don't delay the production of soap." Yuan Shan said.

Yang Wu nodded in agreement, his eyes were still looking at the weird vegetables and seasonings in the glass in Yuanshan's hand, the curiosity brought to him by this new thing was not at 01:30, but because he really wanted to learn Take a look at these things.

"Yang Wu, go and get me some more salt." Yuan Shan said.

The corners of Yang Wu's eyes twitched, and he immediately agreed, but he already believed in his heart that his young master might be crazy to make soap into dishes, and just thinking about it gave him a chill.

What Yuan Shan is going to make is salt soap, not bamboo salt soap. Making bamboo salt soap is very troublesome. Sea salt is burned nine times in a golden bamboo, and this step is very troublesome. Yuan Shan doesn't have that skill.

But soap with salt added will have a better decontamination effect. Yuanshan decided to make a batch of soap for this reason. The price of salt itself is expensive enough.

Yuan Shan quickly put himself into the experiment. Instead of using natural plants, he also bought a batch of color additives from the system store, all of which were edible.

Then he started his creation, which felt similar to stirring a latte.

It looks very gorgeous, and what Yuan Shan wants is this kind of color matching. As for the color printing dye, it can be extracted from herbs and plants in the future.

Now it's the process of experimentation, he just made an attempt, but he didn't expect it to actually work.

The large iron pots fell on the shelf and were placed in several rows. The soap still needs more than ten days of cooling time. It could have speeded up the saponification reaction, but after estimating the time and cost, Yuan Shan chose to wait.

After Yuanshan made a batch of handmade soap, he was a little tired, and it was good enough that fresh things kept him warm for three days.

So Yuanshan decided to ask Yang Wu to try it out, seeing that Yang Wu was very interested in this thing.

"Master, you really asked me to make this kind of soap, but I can't." Yang Wu hesitated.
