Take the mall to Datang

The horses brought back from the Turkic caravan this time are no less than [-] horses. Many merchants have invested huge sums of money, and some merchants will double their net worth because of this horse sale, and several military officers who made do with it also bought them. Hundreds of horses.

East Palace Xiande Hall.

"The caravan sold more than [-] horses this time. Your Majesty, should we lease or buy them?" Du Ruhui said.

Li Shimin had to get the news as soon as the opponent came back, and Du Ruhui from the Ministry of War also hurried over to report the matter.

"They actually bought so many horses, how did they buy them? I know, this businessman is really courageous, but let's forget about the lack of horses in Tang Dynasty this time, but I don't know that Yuanshan asked people to buy wool for use. What are you doing?" Li Shimin asked.

"I don't know either." Du Ruhui said.

Yuan Shan didn't know that this group of ministers was actually researching the use of wool, but the purpose of this caravan has been achieved, which is to establish long-term economic cooperation with some Turkic tribes. Yuan Shan wants to buy wool and is willing to pay with grain as a reward , although I know that the Turkic people will be wiped out in the near future, but I have to make money right now.

A successful businessman will not miss any business that can make money. In addition to buying Turkic wool, he also collects wool from the Tang Dynasty. These things are not worth much, so they can be purchased at little cost.

After going through various steps, fur products may become the mainstream this winter. Yuan Shan, who is a mink fur man, still thinks it's okay, and the protection of animals should start from Datang.

With the horses, the fleet of Yuan's family expanded to [-] the next day, and then began to recruit coachmen. After half a month of tossing, they finally gathered the manpower. Many people came with their families. Those who came to live in Yuanjia Manor lived in the tube building of the staff dormitory.

This can be regarded as the benefit of being a driver of the Yuan family, and the women are hired to work in the vegetable garden of the Yuan family. The family's monthly income is also quite good, and there are additional subsidies for long-distance transportation. The income will be better than ever.

Chapter 369

After Ma Zhou and Yanbei came back with their horses, Yuanjia Workshop began to assemble carriages and recruit drivers. Soon [-] carts set off from Wulizhuang and went to Chengdu to run long-distance freight. The team can also earn money by transporting goods back and forth. The cost of maintaining fleet overhead.

In addition, Yuanshan also invested ten horse-drawn carriages and nearly fifty horses to set up a post station in the economic development zone. By the way, he can pick up some freight services to prepare for the future express delivery business. In addition, the medical center is also equipped with five emergency horse-drawn carriages. There is a team in charge of first aid in the hospital, as long as they get news, they will pick up people for free.

These are all trials, and the actual effect will take time to test. Yuanshan is still studying the carriage bus plan. The initial setting is to customize a larger carriage and use standing passengers. Such a car can roughly To transport about ten people, at least three horses are required for each cart.

However, from the station outside Chang’an to the business center, the walking time can be shortened by half, and one round trip can be realized in an hour. Each person only needs to pay ten yuan to take the ride. At present, this is the price, and at least five people are limited to ten rides. People count as coachmen.

In this way, at least the feed money for the horses can be earned back every month. Anyway, what Yuan Shan wants is to be able to subsidize as little as possible, but he has already calculated this part of the expenses from the beginning of the plan. This is the case for public works anyway. A maximum of five horse-drawn carriages will do this. In the future, this part of the subsidy will be paid out of the money earned by the economic development zone.

This is arranged as an overall structural service item, everything is temporary, and one day steam engines can replace these horse-drawn carriages to make decent buses.

The [-] horses of the Yuan family are not so simple to raise in captivity. A horse needs about [-] wen for corn and grass a month. The total number of horses is about [-], and it costs at least [-] yuan a month.

This is not a small amount of expenses, and this does not include the initial investment in building horseshoes, saddles, riding whips and other supporting items. The investment in the Yuanjia post station, etc., the investment in the first month is no less than [-] guan.

The 72 guan that Yuan Shan obtained by selling 20 kerosene lamps was used in various places, leaving more than [-] guan.

Counting the final payment to the Armament Supervisor, blacksmiths and carpenters, the remaining money may be just enough to pay for the feed money for the horses in the second month. The corresponding cost has not been recovered after investing in such a large industry, and the department store The investment attraction of the building has started now. These are long-term benefits, and the final benefits will be reflected in the economic development zone as a whole.

"How much money will be left after the various payments are settled next month." Yuan Shan asked the six female accountants at home.

Just now he spent another sum of money, fearing that there would be insufficient liquidity, Yuan Shan came to the cashier to ask someone to calculate the financial data. After two hours, Yuan Shan got the final figures. The remaining property is less than [-] Guan.

There may be more money after the income settlement of the shopping mall and horse racing team, because this part of the money is not a fixed amount, so the accurate figures can only be calculated after the settlement, so the current accounts are all expenses and no income. Wait until next month It is hard to say that the Yuan family's money may be higher than [-] Guan at the time of settlement.

"Money is a bastard, you can make money when you run out of money." Yuan Shan muttered, walking back to the study while muttering.

Yuan Shanxin said that this kind of investment is not too aggressive. These industries recover funds very slowly. Kerosene lamps can no longer be sold now. The rarity of the market must be guaranteed. Let the grandson's family digest it first, but they are short of money. How to do it.

"Master Caiyi has come in, this is a great tonic soup, Madam told the young master to drink it while it's hot." Caiyi said.

"Big Bu Tang, what is this? Why do you drink Bu Tang every day these days?" Yuan Shan wondered.

"Madam ordered, young master drink it while it's hot, don't embarrass Caiyi." Caiyi said aggrieved.

"Well, I use this trick every time because my heart is too soft." Yuan Shan said.

"This is made by Yunxi. It's quite delicious, but next time, don't tell Yunxi to put less ginseng. This is not something that good people can't stand if they eat too much." Yuan Shan said helplessly.

Caiyi watched Yuan Shan finish drinking the soup, and immediately went back with a bowl to return to his orders. This was Dugu Ruolan who was told by Li Xiuning that it was for the sake of Yuan Shan's health. Dugu Ruolan was also in a hurry, so Yuan Shan began to suffer, but Yuan Shan felt that it is good to make up for the busyness of work recently, so it goes along with drinking soup every day.

With Caiyi's interruption just now, Yuan Shan had to rethink the problem again.

A few days later, Hepingfang Mall promoted products again, encouraging point-based consumption, recharging at any time for consumption at any time, unlimited promotion of glasses, anyway, there are all one hundred glasses in Hepingfang Mall, unlimited and consumption with points You can enjoy a [-]% discount, that is, you can buy a glass for [-] Guan.

The merchants went crazy again. You must know that glass cups are sold not only in Hepingfang Mall, but only in Hepingfang Mall. The consumption amount can be even more favorable. This is the point-based promotion.

In addition, there will be people promoting and explaining the promotional activities in the mall every day. The activity period is only three months. After three months, all expenses will return to the original price, and the point consumption will return to the [-]% discount, so the discount rate like now is unprecedented.

The biggest promotion murderousness is that every week, a product is designated for in-depth promotion, and this week it is the turn of the glass, so the merchants rush over immediately after asking about it and start snapping up.

None of the super-rich Xue family and Zheng family missed this opportunity. What Yuan Shan didn't expect was that many big businessmen spent a lot of money to buy glass cups. need more.

In three days, these wealthy businessmen directly rounded up the glasses in the mall, and sold a total of 1 glasses, with an average price of 90 per piece, and a total income of [-] yuan.

Yuan Shan hadn't done anything in the past few days, but he was managing the transportation of a large number of glasses bought from the system mall. In the end, it was because he didn't want to carry them anymore, otherwise the number of glasses sold would definitely not be so small.

These merchants are all doing "hands-off" business. The glasses purchased from Yuanjia Mall will be shipped out of Chang'an City to the southern continent for sale. The profit of each glass is around 20.00% of the cost price. It can be said that This is a must-win deal.

Chapter 370

Yuan Shan didn't expect these businessmen to be so crazy. He hasn't sold mirrors yet. If he sells mirrors, he doesn't know what the business will be like. In fact, these things are mainly aimed at rich people. Buying them is just for fun. He is fresh and has a capital to show off.

This approach is actually similar to misappropriating money in disguise. It is actually not good for the development of Datang, but Yuanshan knows that the advantages of doing so outweigh the disadvantages. When his project develops, Datang will naturally benefit. In the basic situation, some things still have to be sacrificed.

After the promotion of glass cups, the glass cups in Hepingfang Mall returned to the original price, and began to implement limited sales, which can stabilize the glass business. Selling too many glasses at one time will also have a certain impact on its price, so he It is decided that it is better to switch to domestic sales of glass products in a short period of time.

A few days later, Yuanshan organized people to start loading the glass panels of the workshop. This batch of glass was used in the "First Floor of the Tang Dynasty". The price is the same as the price of the glass sold to the palace and Xue's family, but the size of the plates of this batch of glass is relatively large.

After processing, most of them are directly made into half windows and glass doors. It is extremely cheap to charge 20 guan. If it is sold to the Xue family, it will definitely exceed 60 guan. The "first floor" has shares, and it is the property of the prince and the Li family's relatives. He doesn't care if he pays more. Anyway, the real cost of glass is calculated as the cost of coal and labor.

The Yuan family's convoy arrived at Pingkang Fang in a mighty manner. Yuan Shan was in charge of transporting it himself. Li Chengqian, Li Jingheng and other princes and aristocrats also came.

"Yuanshan, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Are these glass doors and windows? With these things, our five-star restaurant must be the number one in Chang'an." Li Chengqian said.

"His Royal Highness, our ambition is to be the first building in the Tang Dynasty." Li Jingheng reminded from the side.

"Jing Heng, Yuan Shan said that those of us who are engaged in business should move forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner. We should not be so ambitious that we should not only be the number one in Chang'an, but also be the number one in the Tang Dynasty. Let's start from the number one in Chang'an now." Li Chengqian said .

Yuan Shan was speechless. The two children can say whatever they want. Anyway, the task now is to install all the glass doors and windows in front of them. The project is much bigger than that of Xuejia Mall, and I can't go back for a while.

After chatting with Prince Li Chengqian and others for a while, Yuan Shan left Chang'an. On the way back to the manor, he went to the chemical fertilizer workshop, and the managers of the workshop explained the matter of chicken feather retting, but the fertilizer work did not let them production, but let them organize manpower to spread this fertilization method.

After explaining the matter, Yuan Shan returned to the Yuan Family Manor, and everything was back on track. The accountant of the Yuan Family has been working overtime for the past two days to calculate the accounts. into the accounts of the Yuan family.

In August of the Tang Dynasty, Xiande Hall in the East Palace.

The three-month training of the recruits of the Beiya Forbidden Army has ended. In order to let Li Shimin see the results of the recruit training, Yuchi Baolin also prepared a small-scale military parade under the signal of Yuan Shan. The arms cooperated with the demonstration, and Li Shimin was very satisfied with the overall performance.

The main reason is that the cavalry group shot by Yuan Shan, the shooting target hit rate reached 80.00%, Li Shimin clapped his hands on the north city wall again and again, and the fighting part was a practice with real knives and real guns. At that time, Yuchi Baolin was sweating on his hands.

During the three-month period, Li Shimin was very satisfied with Yuan Shan's answer sheet. However, since July, the Turkic political situation has been unstable. At that time, some people in the court proposed to send troops to Turkic.

But Changsun Wuji raised objections, and as a result, the matter was left alone.
