Gu Jiu flipped through the ledger.
The first phase of the project is about to be completed and sold, and the daily expenses are an astonishing figure.
If it weren't for her continuous capital injection, if she hadn't borrowed one million taels from the Shaofu and persuaded the Shaofu to lend to the refugees, the first phase of the project would have dragged people down.
The first phase of the project is not only to repair the house, but also to lay the foundation for the second, third, fourth and fifth phases of the project. It is subtly changing the living habits and consumption habits of the refugees, and even changing their rural concepts.
This is not building a house, Gu Jiu clearly wants to build a city outside the south gate.
Build a big city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Every refugee will participate in this world-renowned project and gain a sense of participation and accomplishment.
They are proud, they will take root here, they are the founders of this city, why not love this city
Of course, the funds required for this project will be an astronomical figure that will break all records.
Looking at the expenses on the ledger, even Gu Jiu was secretly stunned and his heart ached.
Too much money to spend.
"I have to sell the house quickly and get some cash."
Deng Cunli bowed and said, "According to the plan, the opening will be on the 1st of next month."
"Is there any problem? Do you need me to help you solve it?"
Gu Jiu asked.
Deng Cunli shook his head, "Everything is going well so far, Madam doesn't need to show up for now."
"That's good."
She turned the ledger to the final settlement page, and in a few months, hundreds of thousands of cash were spent out. She was deeply aware that there was a gold-swallowing giant outside the south gate, and it would become a cornucopia in the future.
She smiled helplessly at first, and then felt proud of herself after laughing.
Because she is building a city, which will benefit the present and make great achievements in the future.
Perhaps thousands of years later, this city will still stand in the world and become a great achievement in history books.
As for money, she earned what she could spend.
Several months of expenses of hundreds of thousands of taels can't beat her.
If it really doesn't work, call together wealthy businessmen from all over the world, hold a bidding meeting, flicker around, and earn another few million taels.
It's just that the originally planned 1 million discs, after such a toss, abruptly turned into 10 million discs.
The bigger the plate, the more people who want to share the benefits.
Gu Jiu thought for a while and said to Deng Cunli: "On the day of the opening of the market, the identity information of the buyers must be carefully checked. The first batch of buyers must all be refugees and must have an identity plate.
You have to remember that the first batch of homebuyers are role models and role models. Only when they are successfully moved out of the shack area and other refugees see the benefits of buying a house can the follow-up relocation plan proceed smoothly. "
Deng Cunli responded, "Madam, are you worried about outsiders buying a house?"
Gu Jiu said loudly: "It's not that I'm worried, but there must be such people. Anyone with eyes can see how good our house is, and anyone with a brain knows that there will be a fire outside the south gate if there is no accident. stand up.
I am afraid that someone has already been eyeing this batch of houses, and they must have made some moves on the opening day. So you have to tell the people below, tell them to guard against death, and don't give anyone a chance to take advantage of the loopholes. If there is not enough manpower, on the opening day, ask Bai Zhong to bring someone to help you. "
Deng Cunli nodded in response, "The old slave will discuss with Bai Zhong and come up with a plan of action."
"That's great. Ma Xiaoliu and the others have been studying by your side for so long, how are you doing? Will it be of great use in the future?"
Ma Xiaoliu's group of Xiaohuangmen consisted of four people, and they were the second group of people that Gu Jiu wanted from the Shaofu in the name of Liu Zhao.
The first batch was Deng Cunli and the others.
There are too few people who can write and count, and are trustworthy.
For the project outside the South City Gate, Gu Jiu could only send everyone around him out.
As soon as Ma Xiaoliu and the others left, there were no more people around Gu Jiu.
No, half a month ago, she asked for four more little Huangmen from the Shaofu, and she is slowly training them.
Deng Cunli said: "The people trained by my wife are naturally capable. If you practice more, you will be able to stand on your own."
"That's all right. Go down and get busy."
"The old slave complies."
Deng Cunli left, but Er Zhuang still stood where he was.
Gu Jiu picked up another stack of ledgers and flipped through them.
She looked first at the butcher's ledger.
The butcher shop has small profits but high turnover, which is about 20% to 30% lower than the market price. Really benefited the people.
This is also the reason why housewives prefer to walk a few miles, go out of the city, and go to the butcher shop of Sihai Commercial Bank for consumption.
The price is low, and it seems that there is no profit, but it cannot support the large quantity.
The butcher shop operates as a retailer on the scale of a wholesaler, working hard to death.
Fortunately, hard work is rewarded.
Gu Jiu flipped through the pages one by one.
She nodded, "That's right. With this butcher's shop, the Nanchengmen Market has been rejuvenated. You owe a lot to it."
Er Zhuang smiled and said, "This is what the little ones should do."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Go back and tell the guys at the butcher's shop that when wages are paid next month, everyone will get a bonus."
Er Zhuang smiled happily, "Now the guys are more motivated."
"It's good to be motivated. You also have to supervise Zhuangzi's Zhuangzi. The more Zhuangzi produces, the more they will get a bonus at the end of the year."
"Little one remembers."
Gu Jiu continued to look through the ledger, and asked casually, "There are so many people rushing to buy it every day, can meat and vegetables be supplied?"
Er Zhuang nodded, "According to Madam's plan, the small one signed a cooperation agreement with 200 farmers in the name of the Four Seas Commercial Company. They will concentrate the land to grow vegetables, and this year's supply should be sufficient.
And this is only the first batch of farmers who signed the cooperation agreement. When they get the sweetness, there will be a second batch and a third batch of contracted cooperative farmers. "
Gu Jiu was very satisfied.
At first, she thought she was a developer, and her goal was to become a big developer from a small developer.
Who would have thought that building a house and doing it would turn into driving rural farmers to get rich and develop a new countryside.
For such a great achievement, it would be unjustifiable for the imperial court not to reward her at all.
Gu Jiu silently complained about the poor family attitude of the court, and the petty air of the emperor.
She was pregnant, and the emperor gave her a gift, which was just a few handfuls of worthless jade ruyi and jade jade. It's really better not to send it.
Gu Jiu asked, "Did Zhuangzi get the artificially hatched chick I was talking about?"
"Still trying."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Don't worry about this, take your time."
She also only roughly knows the principle of artificially hatching chickens, and she doesn't know how to operate it.
She put forward the idea and asked people to try it on Zhuangzi first. All costs are in the business.
The people on Zhuangzi tried several batches, but the results were not satisfactory.
It's not that the chicks were not hatched, but that the hatching rate was too low.
Fifty eggs, only seven or eight chicks hatched at a time. All other eggs are wasted.
The reason why Gu Jiu wanted to engage in artificial incubation was because she needed a lot of eggs.
There are few fruits and vegetables in winter, and eggs are a good supplement. And it is also related to her follow-up plans.
However, if you want to spread artificially hatched chickens to thousands of households and become a large poultry and egg distributor, such a low hatch rate is absolutely impossible.
Because the rural farmers can't afford such a low hatch rate, they can't afford to lose.
Gu Jiu can take hundreds of roses, thousands of roses, or even tens of thousands of eggs to try. But the rural peasants can't do it, they don't have the capital, and they are reluctant.
If fifty eggs can be guaranteed and more than forty-five chickens can be hatched at one time, the technology of artificially hatching chickens can be accepted by rural farmers, and a group of large farmers can be cultivated.
Just relying on the hens raised in front of and behind the house by the farmers to lay eggs, and buying a large number of eggs means traveling all over the country.
The time cost is too high, the journey is too long, and it is not fresh enough.
If you want to increase production, you must concentrate on large-scale production.
The prerequisite for mass production is efficiency.
Artificial incubation is an efficiency improvement.
Gu Jiu gave Zhuang Zi a year.
As long as a mature artificial hatching technology can be found within a year, it will be considered a success. Everyone involved will be rewarded with high rewards.
This is the strategy that there must be brave men under heavy rewards.
According to Er Zhuang, the aunts in charge of artificial incubation in Zhuangzi regard eggs as more precious than daughters. No one is allowed to enter the hatch without their permission.
Gu Jiu laughed when she heard this, "They attach so much importance to it, they will succeed sooner or later. After they succeed, they will have to work hard to go to ten miles and eight villages to teach hatching techniques."
Er Zhuang was a bit reluctant, "Do you really want to teach others the incubation technology?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course. You wouldn't think that the demand for butcher shops would be enough. Remember what I said, butcher shops are just getting started.
In the future, the size of the butcher shop of the Four Seas Commercial Bank will be ten or a hundred times that of today. I want to tie all the towns and villages in the Gyeonggi area to this big ship of our Four Seas Trading Company, so that everyone will prosper and everyone will lose.
In the future, butcher shops will be a more important sector than real estate development. Just keep these words in your heart silently and don't tell anyone. "
Er Zhuang was dumbfounded.
He vaguely felt that Gu Jiu had a big plan. But as soon as I touched a little side, the inspiration disappeared again.
He opened his mouth and asked cautiously, "All the villages in the Gyeonggi area?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "You heard it right, all the villages. So, you will continue to go to the mountains and the countryside, and continue to brush your face with money. When you come across something that can be made, you might as well bring it back and cultivate it carefully."
Er Zhuang suddenly felt a lot of pressure, "It's just that all the villages have so many agricultural products, can they be sold?"
"Who says it can't be sold?" Gu Jiu laughed, "The things in my hands are never worried about not being sold."
Binding all the villages in the Gyeonggi area is related to Gu Jiu's follow-up industrial plan.
Now I can't explain it to Er Zhuang.
Moreover, Gu Jiu's plan is not yet mature, and he still needs to lay the foundation step by step, so that one day it will come to fruition.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are necessities of life no matter what age.
Doing business related to daily necessities, as her emperor's grandson wife, she has already killed most of the second and third dealers. She never loses money.
As for whether there will be a wealthy businessman eyeing her business.
Gu Jiu said to this: Come on! Mrs. Ben is not afraid.
She will always be imitated, never surpassed.
In this era, she is absolutely ahead.
Taking the lead has already made her half successful.
For the remaining half, there is nothing money can't solve.
If so, let Huyang go and bite those people.
Er Zhuang doesn't have handsome talents, and he can't achieve a high-level view. But he is an excellent executor, he will follow Gu Jiu's request and complete the assigned tasks in a strict manner.
That's why Gu Jiu was willing to hand over these tasks to Er Zhuang.
She trusts him.
She picked up another ledger.
"The branch of the grain and oil store is doing well."
Er Zhuang also laughed when he heard the words, "It's really good."
Gu Jiu flipped through the ledger, and found that in the first three days of opening, there was a turnover of one or two hundred taels a day. After the first three days when the business was the busiest, the business began to stabilize, and there was still a daily turnover of seventy or eighty taels.
Grain and oil stores sell low-quality and low-priced commodities, with small profits but quick turnover. Only about 35% gross profit. Compared with the 50% gross profit of general retail stores, it is much less.
Although the profit is low, it can't hold up the business well.
Following this momentum, a monthly turnover of two thousand taels is no problem.
Thirty-five percent gross profit, six to seven hundred taels a month, and seven to eight thousand taels a year.
After deducting all the expenses, the net profit will be several thousand taels a year.
This income is already more than twice as high as the income of the main grain and oil store in previous years.
You must know that the main store of the grain and oil store is the one that Gu Jiu took over from the Wangfu. In the past, they sold high value-added polished rice, prime soy sauce and other things that only wealthy people can afford.
When Gu Jiu took over the account book of the grain and oil store from the Wangfu Jialing, he didn't take it seriously.
This is not doing business, this is obviously just fooling around with real estate.
If you don't do business and rent out the house, you can collect a rent at least. Opening a grain and oil store and taking the high-end luxury route is purely a waste of money.
No matter what age, the wealthy will always be a minority.
A small number means that the number of consumers is limited, and the sales volume will not increase.
And for things like grain and oil, you won't have to eat two extra bowls per meal, or five meals a day, just because your family is rich.
Grain and oil are not jewelry, but necessities, so don't play tricks on necessities.
Grain and oil stores should follow the route of the common people. Referred to as ground gas.
Last year, Gu Jiu took over the grain and oil store, changed his business thinking, and started to follow the route of mass consumption.
However, in the past ten years, the reputation of grain and oil stores has spread throughout the capital, and the middle and low-end grain and oil markets have long been divided up by other major grain and oil companies.
Simply put, the common people don't accept it.
Ordinary people will get used to choosing familiar stores when they buy grain and oil.
The grain and oil store in Wangfu was too cold in the past. Where will it cultivate a loyal mass consumer customer group
Without doing anything, he simply took advantage of the popularity of the butcher shop and opened a branch in the shack area of the refugees.
Ever since, there is a branch of the grain and oil store, and the business is still booming!
Gu Jiu said to Er Zhuang: "The idea of opening a branch is very good. You can learn from it and think about which businesses we can open branches."
Er Zhuang tried to say, "Can Buzhuang open a branch?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It can be opened, but it's not yet time. We don't need to open a cloth shop branch in the refugee shack area. After the new market is built and put into use, other cloth shops will enter, and we don't need to do it ourselves business."
"Isn't madame interested in the cloth business?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I'm very interested, very interested. I am interested in everything about basic necessities of life. But opening a branch is not necessary, and it does not conform to our future development."
Er Zhuang patted his head, he couldn't figure out what Gu Jiu's follow-up development was.
Anyway, he just needs to do what he is told.
Gu Jiu said: "Your main task now is to scan your face. Every town, every village frequently scans your face. You need to understand the local customs, soil and climate, and planting and production.
At the same time, you need to create a population file to record the characteristics and population distribution of each village.
In addition, don't let go of good seedlings. Even if you want to join the martial arts, don't refuse. Bring them back to the young master, and the young master will arrange them. "
Er Zhuang bowed to accept the order.
After Gu Jiu finished flipping through the ledger, he said, "I'm going to build a school, which will be located on the slope of the west mountain outside the south city gate, and start construction together with the second phase of the project.
In the future, all good seedlings will be thrown into the school to study and study, and set up various subjects. I also agree with those who want to learn technology and technology, and those who want to learn literature to pursue an official career, and I also support learning martial arts.
As for you, while searching for good seedlings, don't forget to pay attention to whether there are suitable teachers. If there are craftsmen with good skills, they can also be hired with a lot of money.
Outside the south city gate will be our foundation, our golden treasure. Craftsmen of all kinds are needed. A craftsman is precious, not to be taken lightly. "
Er Zhuang took a pen and wrote down Gu Jiu's request one by one.
Looking at what he wrote, although the words are not very good, the records are very organized.
First, brush your face and record the cultural and climate planting in the village.
Second, find good seedlings.
The third is to find a master and a craftsman.
Fourth, we must build schools to learn literature, martial arts and techniques.
…
Gu Jiu glanced at his records, nodded, and praised: "Very good! I wrote everything down. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Er Zhuang closed the small book, "Ma'am, I don't have enough manpower, we need to add some more people."
Gu Jiu collapsed. She sent out all the people around her, but she really couldn't get more people out.
Talent, talent!
Ask her what is the most precious
Talent of course.
Er Zhuang gave her an idea, "There is no one around the madam, but the young master has some. The servants around the young master are all very capable. If we can get their help, even the young ones can get twice the result with half the effort."
what!
That's a good idea.
