Chapter 1040 Plan
This is a unique secret recipe. As a guy who makes a living, of course I can't just tell it out casually.
The two were very interested in these southern fruits that could be grown locally, especially lychees and longans, which were very valuable. As long as they were grown and could be tasted at will, it would be great.
Xie Jingrong casually said to Qiao Xuan, "By the way, our servants brought some seedlings a while ago. They said that the fruits they produce are sweet and sour and delicious, and they are not available anywhere else. I don't know what they are. I'll have someone send some over tomorrow. Do you want them?"
Qiao Xuan was most interested in these, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Of course, I want any fresh fruit I haven't seen before!"
Xie Jingrong nodded and agreed.
As long as the land in the suburbs is taken care of, Qiao Xuan won't have to worry about anything else.
There was enough cassava flour and figs, and Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong always found a way to get all kinds of fresh fruits and milk. Nearly ten dessert shops were doing very good business and running smoothly.
Originally, Le Zhengxiao thought that this was just a small business and he wouldn't make much money, but he was shocked when he counted the accounts at the end of the month.
During the peak season, the combined monthly profits of several stores exceeded 50,000 silver coins. By this calculation, the annual profit is at least 400,000 silver coins.
He and Qiao Xuan each accounted for 40%, with a net income of more than 150,000 taels. Xie Jingrong accounted for 20%, which was also 70,000 to 80,000 taels.
The main reason is that the raw materials do not account for much cost, but not everyone can make this thing. This is the only store with no branches, so they are the only ones who can make the money.
It’s a pity that milk is not easy to get. If you want milk, you have to open up a pasture and raise cows. However, all kinds of sweet desserts cannot be made without milk. Only by adding milk can they taste better.
Otherwise, Le Zhengxiao would have opened branches in other cities.
Even now, the Xie family has expanded the ranch and is planning to open two or three shops in prosperous and bustling cities that can be reached within a day!
Maybe in the future I will really go to Jiangnan or somewhere else to open a ranch and a shop.
This business is so easy to do, with low costs and high profits. You would be stupid not to do it!
Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong stayed for lunch and left in the afternoon.
Near dusk, Le Zhengxiao came again to bring silver to Qiao Xuan.
The money from the tea, lipstick, white fungus, and sugar water shops had not been settled yet. Every time they took goods from the eldest branch of the Shao family in Shaoding Village, they wrote a note stating how much goods they had taken, with the signatures and seals of the Shao family members.
As for the actual value of these goods, no one in the Shao family's main branch knew.
The amount of silver involved was so huge that Le Zhengxiao took it upon himself to conceal it and did not tell anyone else in the Fang family.
He was born into a merchant family and had been dealing with money since childhood. He had seen a lot of money and also a lot of human hearts entangled with money. He understood better than anyone else how money could move people's hearts.
One hundred or one thousand taels of silver might not tempt people, but ten thousand taels might make people impatient. Then what about seventy or eighty thousand taels, or even a hundred thousand taels? How many people can resist?
What surprised Le Zhengxiao was that no one, including Fang, had ever asked about it.
Everyone seemed to take this for granted.
Le Zhengxiao had originally thought hard about coming up with a comprehensive response and excuse to deal with their inquiries, but in the end, none of them were useful.
