Chapter 298 Cooperation with the Wan Family
"Father, it's not that I look down on Xiaofu. Xiaofu has been spoiled since she was a child, and her personality is spoiled and unruly. Han Jing, on the other hand, is patient and doesn't talk much. If we put them together, they might just become a couple of enemies!"
Luo Tingshan held the opposite opinion: "Isn't this just right? Han Jing will also tolerate Xiao Fu."
Luo Huai shook his head: "Anyway, I just don't think it's a good idea!"
Luo Tingshan laughed and said, "Things in the world are unpredictable. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
Even he didn't expect that when he saw Zhu again, not only her personality had changed drastically, but even her soul had changed.
Sometimes we can even calmly drink tea and discuss cooperation.
…
The Ming family villa in Guancheng.
Looking at Mr. Wan who came to visit, Zhu Mingqing felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he was worthy of being the Wan family.
It was so quick to find out that the Ming family was in Guancheng.
Master Wan smiled and congratulated: "Madam Ming, may the new year bring great fortune and prosperity!"
Zhu Mingqing also replied with a smile: "Master Wan, the new year brings new beginnings. We have just stepped out of the New Year, and Master Wan has come to me so quickly. Is there something important?"
Master Wan sat aside and nodded, saying, "I won't hide it from you, Madam. I wonder if the cooperation you mentioned is still valid?"
The maid brought the tea, placed it on the table and quickly left.
Zhu Mingqing then said, "Of course!"
Master Wan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then let's discuss the details today?"
Next, Wen Baolu also joined in, and the two sides began detailed discussions on the cooperation with Wanjia in the sugar business.
Two days passed.
Master Wan finally couldn't hold on.
He looked at Wen Baolu dimly: "Madam Ming's men are indeed powerful!"
Even he, who has been in the business world for decades, was almost cheated!
If I didn't really want to cooperate, I'm afraid the other party would not modify the trap in the contract.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that Zhu Mingqing would provide sugar and the Wan family would be responsible for sales in the Hu area, but at the same time, the Wan family also had to help the Ming family pave the way, and the Ming family was ready to purchase livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses.
This involves the conditions for the fourth restoration of the Immortal Palace.
In the first half of the month, the little world spirit told him that the fourth restoration would require 100,000 kinds of animals, which had to be made into food at the same time and approved by 100,000 people.
The northern Jizhou and Youzhou areas have a remote location and a total population of no more than 200,000.
As long as Huaxianglou is opened as soon as possible, I believe the favorability will increase rapidly.
Moreover, common domestic animals such as chickens, ducks, and geese are already very common in the immortal palace. It is not difficult to collect common movements, but the difficult part is some rare movements.
Zhu Mingqing thinks it is necessary to buy a ready-made ranch or build a zoo?
It is also a good statement to the outside world.
"Mrs. Ming, the Wan family needs 300,000 kilograms of sugar. When can it be delivered?"
After signing the contract, Mr. Wan couldn't wait.
A pound of sugar now costs thirty-five cents on the market, but the cost is only ten cents.
If it were not for the purpose of not affecting market order and the low output, the price of sugar would continue to fall.
Three hundred thousand kilograms of sugar is equivalent to fifteen hundred taels of silver.
However, Zhu Mingqing's price for wholesalers was twenty cents, and after deducting the transportation costs, the Wan family could basically make seven or eight cents per pound of sugar.
Three hundred thousand kilograms of sugar, a net profit of more than two thousand taels of silver.
For a wealthy merchant like the Wan family, more than two thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket.
But these 300,000 kilograms were just a test, and the Hu people's desire for sugar was almost pathological.
By then, 300,000 kilograms might not be enough for one day’s sales.
You can earn two to three thousand taels a day, and it is a guaranteed profit. Anyone would rush to cooperate with this business.
Or maybe he has sales channels with the Hu people, and the Ming family must want to cooperate with them, so they chose him.
Thinking of Brother Lin, who had been in contact with him before coming, Mr. Wan thought he could let the other party give it a try.
The Lin family's network of relationships in the south is incomparable to that of the Wan family. Now the sugar business is monopolized by the Ming family, and the Ming family can use this to become a new wealthy merchant.
I just don't know what the other party's background is, and whether this business can last long.
"Give me ten days!"
In the following days, the number of employees at the sugar factory continued to increase, from the initial more than 100 people, and gradually moved towards the 1,000 mark.
These employees not only have stable wages, but can also buy three kilograms of sugar at half the price every month.
If someone doesn't want to eat it, they can sell it and make a net profit of more than fifty copper coins.
That’s more than 500 copper coins a year, enough to support one more person.
The current mental outlook of the people in Guancheng is very different from what it was a few months ago.
At the sugar factory, Wen Baolu clapped his hands and called all the team leaders over.
"Gather, there's a big order!"
Each team leader is in charge of 200 people. There are now five team leaders in the sugar factory, and the number of staff is still increasing.
"Manager Ming, what a big order! We're all looking forward to working every day!"
In addition to the stipulated working hours, if someone stays to work, they can receive additional overtime pay.
After the five team leaders arrived, Wen Baolu announced that the sugar factory would have to complete the order for 300,000 kilograms of sugar within ten days!
"How is that possible?!"
"Yeah, even if we add new employees every day, we keep working, and the time is too tight!"
"And there's not much sugarcane left!"
Wen Baolu raised his hand, and the scene fell silent. "Everyone, listen to me. We must take this order. After the project is completed, everyone will receive a monetary reward based on their contribution!"
"And don't worry about the raw materials, they will arrive today!"
"If you're short on manpower, then you'll have three days to recruit workers. Each team's production target is 60,000 kilograms of sugar. Whoever finishes first will receive a month's salary!"
"Any other comments?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the five team leaders present immediately stood up and ran outside without saying a word.
Wen Baolu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, knowing that these people agreed!
Return home and report!
The next ten days will be the busiest time in Guancheng in recent years.
I heard that the sugar factory is going to expand its scale and plans to recruit 1,000 workers.
All the unemployed people in Guancheng came out in droves, even children around ten years old, if there were no age limit, would have to help earn a living!
Men, women, young and old, as long as they were able to move, all joined in.
Everyone in Guancheng has relatives, and once a message is passed home, many people will join in with their families.
In just two days, a thousand ordinary people were able to successfully enter the sugar factory to work.
The treatment at the sugar factory is very good, but the conditions are also very harsh.
If anyone is found cheating, the Ming family will report it to the police directly!
I don’t care how pitiful you are!
Wen Baolu's tone was serious and his expression was solemn, which made some people with ulterior motives feel wary.
"Dacheng, this is a rare opportunity. As long as we work hard, we can settle down in Guancheng in the future, marry a wife and have children, and our lives will be better!"
Dacheng was distressed: "But we promised Shopkeeper He and accepted the money!"
