Chapter 1313 This Money is Well Worth Spending
This small bottle of finished product can be sold for at least a hundred taels of silver.
"This is the second batch. Together with the first batch of twenty or so finished products, there are a total of fifty-six pieces. I brought ten of them for Madam Shao to review. For the rest, I will find a channel that can explain clearly that they are imported goods from the West and sold to Suzhou and Jiangning. The price is temporarily set at one hundred taels of silver per bottle. What do you think, Madam Shao?"
As soon as Qiao Xuan smelled the fragrance, she knew it was pure and she was really surprised and delighted.
She smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao is really talented! I didn't expect that he could make the perfume so quickly. I thought it would take at least ten months. The fragrance of this perfume is very pure. The craftsman Mr. Zhao hired is very skilled. I'm afraid he spent a lot of money on it!"
Zhao Shu was so proud of her praise that he smiled so much that his mouth almost reached his ears.
"Mrs. Shao, you are too kind! It's all because of the good craftsmanship that Mrs. Shao gave us. The craftsmen are so impressed! Especially a few old guys, at the beginning they acted like others owed them two million silver coins, and they even dared to give me a cold shoulder. But after seeing the paper, they became so honest!"
"Now, they won't leave even if we chase them away!"
“This money is well spent!”
These years, he was immersed in sadness, pain and resentment, and was confused about the future, so confused that he even felt a little desperate.
Even if everything he suspected was true without any evidence, so what? Zhao Mu was his father, the emperor and his subject, and he would always be above him, and he could not resist at all.
Until he met Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, he was reborn and his life goals were redefined. At least, he had his own career.
The unprecedented sense of accomplishment and pride made him feel down to earth, full of energy and spirit. He finally regained his spirits.
He knew that his mother in heaven would be very pleased to see that he had cheered up and found his direction in life.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "People with abilities always have tempers. If you subdue such people, they will definitely be loyal to you. They are much better than those who are worldly-wise. You can treat them better and don't mistreat them."
"Don't worry, Madam Shao," Zhao Shu, who had never lacked money and was generous with his money, said with a smile, "I admire their ability too. One hundred taels of silver a year, not counting the year-end bonus Madam Shao mentioned earlier, is much more than what they made from making incense before. Uncle Qing and I have discussed finding a few smart guys to take in as apprentices and teach them well. Of course, we won't treat them unfairly. If they are willing to take in apprentices, we will definitely give them an extra sum of money. Or they can take in apprentices themselves, but the apprentices must also work in our workshop for at least fifteen years."
Zhao Shu told Qiao Xuan everything about the plans he, Uncle Qing and the others had made.
Qiao Xuan nodded secretly after hearing this and had to admit it.
When it comes to doing business, her limited knowledge is not enough to stand up to professionals like Uncle Qing.
Uncle Qing and his friends knew more about the market than she did, and they were much smarter. They were well-informed and experienced, having been in the business world for half their lives. What kind of people had they not seen?
When it comes to handling and arranging things, he is naturally thorough.
Such talented people who are capable of being the chief manager or the shopkeeper are simply impossible to find in a big merchant family without business background.
It is basically impossible to recruit such talents in the market unless you are lucky enough to get a bargain.
