Chapter 342 Jiang Xiangnan's Career Plan

Shen Qing sat in the main seat in the main hall and looked at his two sons standing below.

The third brother was very excited, his mind had already flown away, and he was just looking forward to setting off early.

The fourth child was full of thoughts. When he was called over, he asked perceptively, "Mom, what do you want from us?"

Shen Qing was mainly speaking to the third brother, to give him some advice: "You have to remember, the main purpose of going there is not to sell goods, but to distribute them and negotiate with partners, okay?"

Jiang Xiangbei nodded calmly: "I know."

My mother said that this was to open up the market in the north. Although it was poor there, even in the poorest places there were officials and rich people. The south was rich and far away from the north, so it would not be easy for them to come here due to the fatigue of traveling by boat. Therefore, they could take advantage of the geographical location and seize the market.

But how they can take over this market is also a problem.

After all, they only have one team. If they put together another team, the livelihood of the village will be affected. After all, the workshop is the foundation!

Goods can only be sold after they are made. The primary and secondary must be distinguished, and they cannot be reversed.

Moreover, their family has more than a hundred more people. The more goods they sell, the more these people can be invested in the workshop. Human resources are the greatest wealth!

Then there will be no need to worry about the brushes, soaps and embroidery products not having a market. Being able to earn money through work will be a good thing for everyone.

Jiang Xiangnan retracted his thoughts of flying away and nodded solemnly: "Mom, I understand. Selling goods means selling this batch, and distributing goods means finding a market for the next batch and every batch thereafter!

Don't worry, I will distribute the goods well."

He has to work hard for the delicious food. Otherwise, if he can't sell it, how can he buy delicious food? If he can't distribute the goods, how can he go to Chenzhou next time?

Shen Qing hummed, and then said: "Shencheng is further north, it's extremely cold, and there are more leather materials in cold places..."

Jiang Xiangbei reacted quickly, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "Mom, are you asking us to buy more leather?"

Then he thought of something else and said, "Not only the leather, but also their large quantities and cheap ones. We can ship them back. Even if Jinzhou can't eat them all, can't we ship them over to the capital next time we go there?"

Buying and selling is the most common way for merchants. They don’t need to produce by themselves and can make a fortune by seizing the opportunity. The main thing is that they come back with empty trucks, which is equivalent to bringing them back along the way. There is no additional cost except the cost of purchasing the goods.

The leather materials purchased can be sold if they can be sold, and the unsold ones can be used to make brushes in the workshop, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Shen Qing was very satisfied with the fourth brother's ability to draw inferences from one example. For a successful businessman, acumen is the most important thing. This requires careful observation and hard study, as well as innate talent.

Otherwise, look at the silly eldest brother, the taciturn second brother, and the third brother who is obsessed with eating. These people are not born to be businessmen.

Although the sixth child in the family is a bit selfish and shrewd, to be honest, he is a capable businessman.

But she is more optimistic about the fourth brother, because you can make money by doing business selfishly, but if you want to make your business stronger and bigger, you must have a mentality that considers the interests of others.

Otherwise, workers will become alienated, teammates will be dissatisfied, and the owners of the cooperating shops will run away faster than rabbits! After all, no one is stupid. How can they suffer a loss a second time after suffering a loss once?

People who are too smart are stupid and don’t realize it, so others are on guard against them.

She looked at the third child again and pointed out, "You like to eat. Have you ever thought about collecting all kinds of delicious food yourself?"

The eldest and the second are both very strong, but either dull or taciturn, so the work in the fields and mountains will be handed over to them in the future.

The fourth brother went out to sell goods, and the sixth brother studied to take the imperial examination. The future of them was almost clear.

As for Xiaoshui, she planned to give the soap business to her. No matter what happened in the future, she would be rich as long as she had this source of income - money is the courage of the poor. Even if she had bad days in the future, she could travel around and relax instead of sitting around the stove and cooking.

She kept the income from brushes and embroidery for herself, not only for her own retirement but also for Xiaoyu's, and she would take out a portion of the profit every year to distribute as dividends to her sons.

Therefore, at present, only the third child does not have his own future career.

Jiang Xiangnan was stunned. All kinds of delicious food?

He swallowed, was this something he could think of?

He looked up at his mother, stumbling nervously. "Mom, you... you mean... but do I have that ability?"

He is just a farmer and has barely left the village in the past sixteen years. Can he really do it?

Shen Qing: ...Excellent children are praised.

Of course, we can’t praise blindly, but we should praise with purpose and guidance: “Everyone has something they are good at and love. Think about what you love.

You like to eat, and others also like to eat delicious food. If you take these delicious things to another place and open a restaurant, then you can not only have delicious food but also make money to make a living, right?

When you get married and have children, you can also let your wife and children eat delicious food!"

Of course she knew that any hobby would not be pleasant if it had anything to do with work, but how could life be all about romance and beauty?

You need an economic foundation to live, especially in this dynasty. If men don’t go out to earn money, do they have to wait for their wives to go out and support the family?

Even if a woman can earn money, she still hopes that her husband can earn money as well, instead of lying at home and waiting for others to serve her.

Jiang Xiangnan was stunned after listening to this, and felt that what his mother said made a lot of sense!

Yes, he didn't like going down to the fields and mountains to do farm work, especially the big fat bugs dug out from the fields, the caterpillars on the leaves, and all kinds of moths flying around, which made him uncomfortable to see. He was not like his elder and second brothers who just buried their heads in work and were happy when the crops grew well.

He just felt that it was hard and tiring and there was endless work to do.

He couldn't read, at least not pass the imperial examination;

Is he doing business like the fourth brother, buying and selling goods? His motivation for going out is to eat delicious food.

Open a restaurant? He doesn’t feel anything right now about letting his wife and kids eat delicious food, but the thought of letting his mother, younger sisters-in-law, brothers, and sisters-in-law eat delicious food will make him full of motivation!

"Mom, you said Chenzhou is the largest city over there. When I go there, I will definitely observe carefully to see what delicious food there is. I want to earn money with my own ability in the future!"

The family cannot rely on his mother alone to earn money. After he becomes powerful, he can also become a supporter for his mother and younger sisters.

Shen Qing affirmed: "Okay, while you're out delivering goods, you can take note of tastes, eating habits, ingredient characteristics, transportation costs, and so on. When you open a restaurant in the future, you will know what dishes will be the main signature dish, and what the cost and profit of each dish are. You will have a clear idea of ​​everything."

In fact, she has a selfish motive.

Chenzhou is cold and poor, and the lower-class people have very few ways to make a living, but the vegetation is rich, so developing animal husbandry is not a problem.

Chenzhou is not too far from Beijing. In the cold winter, people eat mutton hotpot in Beijing.
