Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Page 54

I found that the servants of the palace are working hard, frying tea, distilling, and making soap.

The spinners and weavers are also constantly turning their spinning wheels.

Everyone is working in full swing, and their enthusiasm for work is very high.

A smile appeared on Li Ke's face when he saw this scene.

The reason why everyone worked so hard was because the benefits he gave were high enough.

You must know that the servants of his palace belong to his domestic slaves, and strictly speaking, they don't need to pay wages.

In other words, just take care of the food and keep it under control.

But now as long as you work, you can get generous remuneration, and the more work you do, there are even bonuses!

How does this keep them motivated?

After Li Ke looked at it for a while, he realized that his presence here would only affect the efficiency of everyone's work, so he left.

In this way, seven days passed.

During these seven days, Li Ke basically stayed in the palace.

The Ministry of Industry is not in a hurry. It will take some time to build the blast furnace, so there is no need for him to go there.

He writes the plan at home, pays attention to the production progress of each product, publicity effect and so on.

And today is the day when these products are officially on sale!

Early in the morning, Li Yin, Li Xiaogong and several shopkeepers gathered in his palace.

"Several shopkeepers, please introduce the current situation."

Li Ke looked at several shopkeepers in charge of sales.

"My lords and dukes, the first batch of new tea has been made, and a total of 3120 catties of tea has been produced!"

"Including 3 catties of ordinary tea, 1 catty of high-grade tea, and 20 catties of top-quality limited tea!"

"The cost of ordinary tea is about 2 yuan per catty, the cost of high-grade tea is 5 yuan per catty, and the cost of top-quality limited tea is 1 penny per catty."

"Ordinary tea is priced at 1 guan per catty, high-grade tea is 3 guan per catty, top-quality limited tea is 20 guan per catty, and only officials of the third rank and above can buy it, and the quantity purchased at a time cannot exceed 1 catty!"

Xie Quan first quickly introduced the quantity, classification, cost, selling price, etc. of the tea.

Due to some haste, the first batch of tea leaves only weighed more than 100 catties, but it is enough to sell them for the time being, and the second batch of new teas is in preparation for rapid purchase.

"Be good, if this batch of tea leaves is sold out, how much money will you make?"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened when he heard the cost and pricing, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Back to Lu Guogong, the profit of ordinary tea is 8 coins per catty, the profit of high-grade tea is 25 coins per catty, and the profit of top-quality limited tea is 19 coins per catty!"

"According to the respective quantities, if all the teas are sold out, the profit will be 24 guan for ordinary tea, 250 guan for high-grade tea, and 380 guan for top-grade tea, for a total of 3030 guan!"

Xie Quan quickly calculated an account for everyone, assuming that all the tea leaves are sold out, the net profit can reach a full 3030 guan!

"so much!"

Li Xiaogong and the others were shocked when they heard this number.

Even if each of them only has 303% of the shares, they can still get [-] shares!

This is just the first batch of tea leaves, and there will be a second batch in a few days!

And the number of the second batch is far more than that.

What's more, this is only the dividend of one tea company, and there are several others!

Thinking of this, the smiles on their faces couldn't be hidden!

After Li Ke heard this number, he was also in a very good mood.

He monopolizes 1212% of the shares by himself, and after dividing it, it will be [-]!

Originally, there were less than 2 guan left in the finance of his palace, but as long as this batch of tea was sold out, 1212 guan could be credited!

At that time, some of his plans will have money to carry out.

For example, buying coal mines, etc. Even though he had a map of mineral distribution in his mind before, he couldn't implement it without money.

"Treasurer Xie, why do you have to limit the purchase of top-level limited teas to officials above the third rank?"

Li Daozong was suddenly a little curious. If there is no limit, the profit of the top limited tea leaves is 19 guan per catty, wouldn't that make more money?

"Back to King Xia of Jiang, this is the skill that the villain learned from His Highness Wu Wang's idea, which is to improve product positioning and increase product value!"

"Restricting officials above grade three to purchase, this has virtually raised the value of this top-level limited tea to an extremely high level."

"The purchase limit of one catty per person shows how rare and precious this top-quality limited tea is."

"In the words of His Royal Highness King Wu, it is to improve the quality of this tea, so that people who buy this tea can feel superior!"

Xie Quan's business talent is still very good. Just from some of the routines Li Ke said before, he can comprehend the concept of luxury goods by analogy.

Undoubtedly, that top-level limited edition tea already has the shadow of luxury goods.

Do you think this tea is really much better than ordinary tea?

Tasty is definitely better, but not 20 times better.

But the price is a full 20 times that of ordinary tea!

In fact, this has been separated from the value of the tea itself, and more is the value of other factors represented by this tea!

Such as vanity, such as the status of a member of the third rank or above, such as face and so on.

They are not paying for the tea itself, but for the extras!

And this, in fact, is the embryonic form of luxury goods!

As long as it is branded, it becomes a complete luxury!

PS: The sixth update!It's updated today.

Chapter 77 profit!Business genius!

Craftsmen like them are afraid of laymen leading experts.

They thought Li Ke was an outsider.

Unexpectedly, when Li Ke came over, they would change their traditional working methods.

Putting forward the concept of assembly line operation greatly improved their work efficiency at once!

They still like a boss like Li Ke very much.

"During the production process, you must pay attention to standardization!"

"The parts made by everyone must be built strictly according to the size marked on the drawing, and the error of each part must be controlled within a very small range!"

"Only in this way can the parts made by everyone be assembled seamlessly, and in the future, once the parts are damaged, they can be replaced directly with new parts."

Li Ke then emphasized to them the most important point of assembly line production~, that is standardization!

Standardization must be achieved. If the manufactured parts are one big and one small, then even a bobbin may not be able to be assembled!

"So, to achieve standardization, firstly, the craftsmen themselves must meet sufficient standards, and secondly, an auditor must be arranged to measure each component. Once the error exceeds the allowable range, the component will be discarded."

"In the later stage, a reward system will be established. Whoever has a good product rate of more than [-]% will get an additional bonus, and whoever has a good product rate of less than [-]% will have no bonus."

"Once three consecutive statistics are made and the good product rate is lower than [-]%, I will be dismissed from the Ministry of Industry directly!"

However, standardization cannot be achieved by talking about it. It also requires special auditors and corresponding reward and punishment mechanisms.

Next, his job is to modernize the Ministry of Industry, improve the efficiency of the overall operation, and expand productivity!

Moreover, it is necessary to gather senior craftsmen and set up a research and development department, which is responsible for tackling difficulties and developing some new technologies.

If he develops the most inconspicuous Ministry of Industry among the six departments into the most dazzling department, he will be able to show his ability to everyone!

Li Shimin will definitely see it, increasing his status and weight in Li Shimin's heart.

After all, who wouldn't want their heir to be a capable individual?

After listening to the ideas Li Ke said, and the plan to be implemented next.

All the craftsmen looked at each other in blank dismay. They had a feeling that the Ministry of Industry would definitely usher in huge changes next!

And this change is still good for them at present.

First, the work is easier. I only need to make my own parts, and I don’t need to learn this and that.

Second, as long as you carefully build parts and components, the good product rate will reach more than [-]%, and you can get extra bonuses!

The Ministry of Industry is the department with the worst treatment among the six ministries, not to mention the treatment of their craftsmen.

And now there is a channel for additional bonuses, how can this not make them happy?

They are still very confident in their craftsmanship, even if they can't reach it, they should study hard and strive to achieve a higher level of craftsmanship!

"Thank you His Highness King Wu!"

All the craftsmen sincerely thank Li Ke.

"Go to work."

Li Ke said everything he should have said, so he left here.

Today is just his first appointment, so he came over to have a brief look.

Next, he will make a plan and write down all the places that need to be changed.

Give it to Duan Lun to read it first, and then implement the plan in the Ministry of Industry.

Even though Duan Lun is his uncle, he trusted him to delegate power.

But Duan Lun is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry after all, his immediate boss.

In the workplace, there is still a minimum of respect.

Afterwards, he walked around other workshops in the Ministry of Industry, and after learning about the situation, it was almost time to leave work.

In this way, Li Ke's first day of work after coming to the Tang Dynasty was over.

He returned home in the carriage of the palace, and after dinner, he listened to Liu Zhong report to him some things that happened today.

For example, many people came to Li Min's house today, wanting some tea and soap.

Li Yin also followed Li Ke's instructions, as long as anyone who went, gave some.

But not much, for example, the tea is estimated to be enough for a family to make two pots of tea.

The soap is also cut into several small pieces from a large piece. If it is used for washing hands, it can be washed several times. For bathing, it is estimated that it is almost enough to wash it once or twice.

But what Li Ke wants is this kind of effect, which not only allows them to experience the goodness of the product, but does not give them enough quantity.

Only in this way can we maintain a high enough popularity and ensure that after the product is launched, these people will become the first batch of customers!

Of course, in addition to this, I also heard a lot of gossip.

For example, so-and-so was driven to the study by his wife last night, and so-and-so was given a death order not to go home until he got these two things today.

Among them was the gossip about his uncle, Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Hearing these news, Li Ke couldn't help laughing.

He really underestimated the personality of the Tang woman!

However, we must not let everyone know that the instigator is him, otherwise he will become the public enemy of so many ministers!
