Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
079 Business is moving
"How can you say you are bullying me? I am just investing the recipe. I have 300 taels of capital on me, but no more."
Sun Sicheng thought about it and decided to help the child accomplish this. He had these medicines everywhere, and he had the people and the shops. He could let Sun Wen worry about the management, as this guy was the best at accounting.
Sun Yat-sen had no objection to participating in the shares, but he insisted on giving 10% to Ping An and taking 20% for himself. This was decided by Sun Sicheng, who originally planned to only take 10% of the profit.
After discussing the business, Sun Yat-sen immediately began to prepare.
First, let Ping'an copy down the prescription, prepare the medicine as soon as he arrives at the clinic, and then find someone to grind it into powder. At the same time, prepare a shop in the county town. With three people doing business, there is no need to sell the house.
If there really is a market for it, you can open shops all over Da Zhou. Wherever there is Baicaotang, there will be Baicao Braised Chicken.
Sun Wen was talking excitedly when Ping An said, "Sir, it's better to call Baicao Braised Chicken Baicao Braised Food. It's not just braised chicken, but all kinds of things can be braised, such as braised pork, pig's head, pig's liver, etc. Lotus root and peanuts can also be braised. In short, many kinds of things can be braised, and braised eggs are especially delicious."
Sun Sicheng and Sun Wen were somewhat shocked. If this was the case, this business must be quite big and they might really make a lot of money.
Just like what my little apprentice said, who would complain about having too much money?
Baicaotang makes money, but if it encounters a disaster year, it might lose a lot of money.
"Awen, you should plan this matter well. In three to five years, maybe this business will help us make a fortune.
Since you are doing this business, prepare a variety of these ten spices, grow them separately in the medicine shop and Baicao Valley, and keep the recipes secret. It is best to have someone grind them into powder in Baicao Valley."
As long as he is safe and at ease, as long as the master pays attention to him, he doesn't have to worry.
"In this case, I only want 20%, and the rest will be given to the master. The herbs and the shop all require capital."
Sun Sicheng rubbed his head. His hair was soft, which made his heart soft as well.
"Master is rich and doesn't care about these things."
"How can we do that? We should be businessmen, right?"
Sun Wen said with a smile, "Little Ping An, you still know how to talk business? Incredible, incredible, maybe our Ping An will be a business genius when he grows up."
Ping An found that the small bun on his head had been loosened by the master. He still didn't know how to do this hairstyle.
"Master, you can't touch my head anymore. Look, my hair is loose again. I'll have to ask my cousin to fix it for me later."
Sun Wen pulled him over and said, "Sir, I'll help you."
Ping'an sat obediently and her hair was tied up in a short while. It was much better than Erqiang's.
"Master, let's do this. Ping An will take 30% and you will take 50%. Let the child feel at ease and I will be confident that the business will be successful."
Sun Sicheng also agreed. If the business was not good at that time, the worst that could happen was that he would ask Sun Wen to give more to his apprentice in private.
They arrived at Tongpu Town in the afternoon, and Jixiang and Dazhuang rode to the county town first.
There is Baicaotang in the county town, which also has a small courtyard with two entrances, but Sun Sicheng seldom lives here. The house is not big and there are few rooms, so more than 30 people can only stay in an inn.
Sun Wen spent the whole afternoon thinking about the braising business in detail, including how to develop the business in Tianchang County tomorrow, how to staff it, how much he needed to buy from the braised pork shop, and who would be responsible.
Where should we open a branch store next? We can’t waste time on the road. We may not be able to open two stores along the way. It doesn’t matter. We can open a few more stores in Jiangnan directly and select a big manager to be in charge of all the stores in Jiangnan area.
Sun Wen was of course the chief manager. Three to five years later, he might be the chief manager of twenty or thirty braised meat shops.
Sun Sicheng looked at Sun Wen's smug face, shook his head and sighed, "Ah Wen, I may have wasted your talent by tying you to the chief accountant's office all this time. You are naturally born to be the chief manager."
Sun Wen curled his lips: "In this case, will you let me resign from the position of chief accountant?"
"No need, you are a talented person, you can be both the chief treasurer and the chief accountant, you can totally do both, oops, Xiao Ping An is about to fall."
Seeing his disciple's little head shaking, his saliva was flowing out.
Sun Sicheng didn't despise her. He just held her in his arms, wiped her saliva with a handkerchief, and changed into the most comfortable position.
"My Lord, you treat this child very specially."
"Don't you like it? Such a good kid."
Sun Wen looked at the little face in the eldest son's arms, "Who wouldn't like a child like this? I heard that he suffered a lot after his father died a few years ago. Now that he has met you, it's finally over."
"Awen, I should say that I was lucky to meet him. I never hide my affairs from you. This kid met a noble person who taught him many things. But he gave me the prescriptions for the Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills and the Heart-soothing Pills, although in the end he agreed to accept a 10% profit on the two prescriptions.
But what does that mean? Baicaotang got a good prescription, and the invisible benefits are hard to describe. This trip to Jiangnan is to resolve the dispute with Huashoutang. The backers behind it have surpassed us, and I haven't thought of a solution yet.
But the child gave me two emergency methods. We agreed to pass them on for free directly or through the government. As long as it goes well, Baicaotang may gain a great reputation this time, and the problem of Huashoutang will also be solved. "
Sun Wen nodded and said, "I have thought about this matter again and again, and it should be foolproof.
My dear, some things are destined by heaven. This child will bring you good luck, and you are also the child's benefactor. I think his parents are both honest people. With your help in the future, their lives will get better and better."
"Ah Wen, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you. Ping An's biological father has been dead for six years, and this stepfather has only been married to his mother for three months. You should only account for 10% of the money earned by the stew shop on your books, and the remaining 20% can be used in other names. I will talk to the child about this later. It is a bit wrong for me to do this, but if his stepfather is always good, Ping An will never treat him unfairly."
"That's fine."
Sun Yat-sen didn't think it was a bad thing to do. His stepfather was still young and would have his own children. When people have their own flesh and blood, they may become biased.
This prescription was obtained entirely by Ping An to save people, and does not belong to the Wan family.
The eldest son has several fake identities, and he can use any one of them as a shareholder. Even if the business grows bigger in the future, it is reasonable for Fang Zi to get a 10% net profit, after all, he doesn't have to put in the capital.
The group arrived at the inn at dusk. Jixiang had already made all the arrangements, so there was no need to go into details about washing up and eating.
The next morning, Sun Wen started to get busy, and Jixiang and others followed.
Ping An doesn't care about these.
He was leisurely eating his breakfast of porridge and omelet, which tasted good, but not the best.
Xiao Wu has already gone to the county town to spread the news that the master is coming here, and they just have to sit at home and wait for people to come and invite them.
Sun Sicheng finished his breakfast in a few bites and immediately returned to his room, thinking about how to treat the child's injured leg.
The head doctor of Baicaotang here is his father’s third apprentice Hu Jin. His medical skills are okay, not as good as his, but better than most doctors.
The paper in his hand now is the one written by Hu Jin about the details of Mr. Wang’s injured leg.
As a doctor of Baicaotang, he was naturally invited by the Wang family. Bone setting was his weakness, especially for such a serious injury, so he naturally didn't dare to do it, so he sent a message to him quickly.
