Take the mall to Datang

The construction site is surrounded, and if you want to pass through the fence, you can only go through the main entrance. Just as the two of them were about to enter, they saw an old man coming out of the foyer and said, "What are you two noblemen doing? It is under construction and outsiders are not allowed to visit. If you have nothing to do, please come back."

"Thank you for your kindness, old man, we just came here to have a look." Yuchi Jingde said.

"Then you can't go in. This is my job and I have to finish it well, otherwise the boss will blame me. Where can I find work like this for ten yuan a day and three meals a day? Don't embarrass me." The old man Said.

Seeing this, even Cheng Zhijie, the demon king of the world, couldn't say anything. He glanced at Yuchi Jingde and was about to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he saw several trucks from the Yuan family coming over with goods. The trucks were full of goods. There are two horses and four horses.

If people gossip about this, it will be difficult to explain it clearly, but a four-wheeled carriage must be pulled by at least two horses, otherwise it cannot be pulled, so adding a horse is also a helpless move. Fortunately, the carriage is mainly used for loading. Horse-drawn carriages have long been common in Chang'an. Who made these vehicles more capable of carrying goods.

Seeing the convoy entering and exiting and raising a burst of dust, the environment on the construction site was really uncomfortable. The two left in a hurry, but seeing the bird's-eye view of the common people's bathing place made their trip worthwhile.

Then the two went to Yuan's Manor, and it happened that Yuan Shan was really there.

"Yuan Shan, quickly tell me what's going on in the common people's bath. Is the bath only used to make such a big commotion?" Cheng Zhijie asked face to face.

"Uncle Cheng, there is nothing wrong with this bathing place, it's just bigger. I'm not thinking about how crowded it is, but this bathing place is not just about bathing. There are also many entertainment items that are most suitable for leisure in summer. In winter, it can also be used as an ice rink. It is a place for entertainment." Yuan Shan explained.

"So that's the case. I don't know if this bathing place can make money." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Of course it can, but the return on investment may take longer. It mainly depends on the surrounding business. Could it be that Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi are interested in this project?" Yuan Shan asked casually.

When the two of them thought about it, they hesitated when they heard that it would take a long time to pay back. Who knows how much money this could make, and they immediately lost interest when they heard that it was an entertainment-based business.

"Yuan Shan, His Majesty is very pragmatic today, so he doesn't advocate some extravagant entertainment. You should consider whether this business can be done." Yuchi Jingde said.

Yuan Shan is Yuchi Baolin's teacher after all, as a parent, he has to remind him, otherwise it will be bad if he suffers.

"Thank you Uncle Yuchi for reminding the boy that I will consider it." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan is not short of money, even Shan Mofanghua wants to win the attention of the common people. There may be only one bathing place of this scale. He doesn't worry about the operation. He wants to use this bathing place to promote the development of the surrounding area. Chang'an City is still too small, no matter how it develops, isn't it just a city? The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty should not be the prosperity of Chang'an, but the prosperity of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"By the way, what is the so-called visit of the two uncles today?" Yuan Shan asked, the so-called visit to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so the sudden arrival of these two people could not have come because they were idle and bored.

"The business of black chicken balls is not very good recently. We are thinking about whether to do some other business. You also know that there are expenses in the whole house, so you understand." Cheng Zhijie said softly.

"The two uncles mean that they want to do some profitable business. The boy thinks that the most convenient business to make money is the fleet. Long-distance transportation is a good and stable income. At present, the demand for the fleet is still huge at present. .” Yuan Shan said.

"You are right, but the cost of the team is very high. The horses in Datang are short of horses. Now the cheapest horses in Chang'an City are [-] guan. If you add a four-wheeled carriage with two horses per cart, you need to prepare an extra horse for the length of the journey. The cost of horses is very high, plus some carriages seconded by the imperial court before, the freight of these carriages has increased in price." Cheng Zhijie said.

"You can go a thousand miles without taking a small step. The two uncles should understand that it is best to grow this business a little bit to be the safest." Yuan Shan said.

Chapter 419 A Thousand Sets of Bearings

"Yuanshan, you are right, but what does carpooling mean?" Cheng Zhijie asked curiously.

"Haha, it's actually like I said that small businesses have small businesses." Yuan Shan said.

"Take this carpooling as an example. Now there are too many places that need freight. Some big families and wealthy merchants have insufficient fleets, so they rent all the horse-drawn carriages of some retail households, including labor, and then follow the big fleet. Going out together, this is the advantage of carpooling is that retail investors can find jobs anytime and anywhere, although the income is less than that of large fleets, it is considered stable.” Yuanshan explained.

"It turns out that carpooling means this. According to what you said, we paid for the carriage and rented it out, right?" Cheng Zhijie said.

"That's right, there is no risk in such a small investment." Yuan Shan said.

"Well, this business is done by Cheng Cheng." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Count me in." Yuchi Jingde said.

"The price of the Yuan family's bearings for the two uncles is definitely lower than the market price. How much do the two uncles plan to ask for a set of [-] pieces of bearings?" Yuan Shan immediately acted as a salesman and began to sell the bearings.

Now the price on the market is [-] guan for a set. According to the output of the bearing factory, it is already much lower than the cost price. [-] guan is also a preferential price suddenly given by Yuan Shan. I would buy too much, so I gave the lowest price directly, and I still have to give favors.

As soon as Cheng Zhijie heard the set of sixty strings, he immediately began to study it with Yuchi Jingde. Yuan Shan didn't know what the two of them were talking about. He still had a hot spring plan in his hand. The maintenance fee of the water bathing place was very expensive. He was researching it. As soon as this thing thought of something, Cheng Zhijie said: "Yuan Shan, a set of fifty strings, we've heard enough for a thousand sets."

The document in Yuan Shan's hand almost fell off, and then he said very calmly: "Are you two uncles serious? These thousand sets of bearings are worth [-] guan."

"We are very serious, we need a thousand sets." Cheng Zhijie reaffirmed.

"No problem, when the two-digit number wants to pick up the goods." Yuan Shan asked.

"The sooner the better." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Would you like me to help contact the carpenter's workshop for the two uncles, and the production fee can be given a discount." Yuan Shan continued.

"Of course it's good to have a discount. This thousand sets of bearings are a thousand carriages. Since you want to do it, you have to do it well. In your plan, don't you call these investments a project? The team project we formed this time is very serious. When the time comes, we will wait to collect the money." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Uncle Cheng is really optimistic." Yuan Shan said.

"You kid is so good at making money, and I can't miss the business of making money without losing money." Cheng Zhijie said.

Yuchi Jingde didn't say much on the sidelines, in fact, money is just a matter of concern to him, anyway, among the soldiers, his family property is relatively large, and he just goes with the flow when it comes to business, since Cheng Zhicong Let him toss and toss, and when he has money, he will be fine.

"Doing business is very risky, but the team business will be a hot and profitable industry in a few years. I guarantee this, but this is not the reason why I sell bearings to the two uncles. The main reason is to want Increase Chang'an's transport capacity, but the grain and cotton in Chengdu are still waiting to be transported." Yuan Shan said.

"Hahaha." Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde laughed.

Cotton and food are materials that are in great demand in Chang'an now. How come they haven't seen the development of the fleet for more than a year, especially the scale of hundreds of vehicles in various rich merchants. Others draw conclusions and the facts are right in front of them.

In particular, the part of land in Chang'an that is mainly planted can not guarantee that the long-term area can be self-sufficient. A large part of it is handed over to the national treasury. With the huge expenditure of the national treasury, there is not much left. environment.

Therefore, the transportation industry is very popular, but how to solve the horse problem is the key. Yuan Shan didn't ask this question because he forgot, but because he believed that as a leader of the military generals, these things can definitely be solved.

What Yuan Shan could think of was the retired war horses. When there were no horseshoes, these battle-damaged horses would only have the fate of being eaten, but now the battle damage of horses is almost slow. One is that there is no war, and the other is the use of horseshoes.

Afterwards, Yuan Shan also put down the things in his hands and began to concentrate on taking a sauna with the two generals. However, the massage at the Medicinal Restaurant was canceled because the staff of the Yuan family were nervous, and the orchids were all engaged in sales in the Hepingfang Mall.

Cheng Zhijie said in the sauna room: "Looking at a small piece of soap is the real money-making thing."

"These are just some chemical products and not worth mentioning." Yuan Shan said.

"What do you mean by chemical products?" Cheng Zhijie asked curiously.

"A simple understanding is the product obtained after the material changes." Yuan Shan explained, but just saying this made the two of them confused.

"Take soap as an example. The secret is like alchemy. Substances change under certain circumstances and finally get a new thing. Basically, it should be like this." Yuan Shan said.

The two of them were still at a loss and couldn't understand. At this time, Yuan Shan didn't want to explain. If everyone could understand the saponification reaction, then his Yuan family's soap would not be the only business.

Yuan Shan picked up the soap and smeared it on his body, then said: "Actually, it's best to take a salt bath and then let someone pat and massage it to be comfortable."

"Put salt on your body, Yuanshan, you really know how to play." Cheng Zhijie said bluntly, salt is a commodity that is in short supply and expensive I want to try it out for myself one day.

Of course, the salt bath that Yuan Shan talked about did not mean applying salt all over the body, but a kind of bath product made of salt as the main material and some auxiliary materials.

After taking the sauna and continuing to soak in the pool, the three of them really relaxed today. I don't know if it is because the money is spent very comfortably, and the same is true for Yuan Shan. Maybe it is because he is happy to earn money.

"Yuanshan, what do you think of Turks?" Yuchi Jingde asked suddenly.

Yuchi Jingde didn't care much about business matters, but was interested in the Tang Dynasty's war. The attitude of the ministers is also different.
