Ji Zixuan followed Lin Jinyue to the village, and he was quite surprised.
Before coming, he had already figured out the details of this group of people.
These things were not difficult to find out. With a little inquiry, we found out that this group of people came from the north to escape famine. They had not been here long, less than two months.
As a result, in just two months, the Chen Dawei family, which had been a headache for everyone in Shawan County, was solved.
That’s not all. The restaurants and shops they opened surpassed those century-old brands in just one month.
When he came here and took a look, Ji Zixuan felt that this place didn't look like a village.
It seems like a paradise.
Ji Zixuan asked: "Little sister, who is the person you can talk to here? I have something important to discuss with him."
As he spoke, he took out a string of candied haws and gave it to her, coaxing her like a child.
As a result, he saw that everyone around him was staring at the little girl who was only as tall as his waist. Could it be that this little girl was the one who had a say among this group of people?
Ji Zixuan was shocked.
He was already considered a business genius in Shawan County. At only sixteen years old, he had already taken over most of the family businesses.
But what did he do when he was eight or nine years old?
When he was eight or nine years old, he was teasing cats and dogs, throwing mud at his older brother, and was starved for three days and three nights.
Lin Jinyue said with a smile: "That's me."
Ji Zixuan did not look down on her because of her young age. Instead, he said, "I was not strict in my administration. I didn't expect that the servants in my house would pretend to obey but actually disobey."
Lin Jinyue: "It doesn't matter, we beat him up too."
Ji Zixuan choked.
Lin Jinyue looked at the young man in front of her. He had red lips and white teeth, and was very handsome.
However, even if she sent such a handsome guy to use her beauty to lure her, she would not tell her the method of brewing wine.
Lin Jinyue didn't waste any time. "Okay, I'll make it short. My family's wine-making method is not for sale. I plan to do the wine-making business in the future, so you don't have to waste your breath."
Speaking of which, there didn't seem to be places like bars in ancient times.
When she can tinker with the electric light, she'll open a bar.
Bars made a lot of money in the previous life.
Even if it doesn't make money, Lin Jinyue has to open it because she wants that atmosphere.
The method of making wine cannot be copied.
Ji Zixuan came prepared this time. He glanced at the people in the village and sure enough, just as he thought, the reason why Lin Jinyue did not open a restaurant was because of insufficient manpower.
Look at those people working in the fields, there are only a few of them.
There are few idle people wandering around in the village.
Ji Zixuan suggested: "It's not that I have to ask you to make wine, but I think you don't have enough manpower. Why don't we cooperate and open a larger winery? Our Ji family has a ship and enough manpower to transport the wine to various places in Lingnan."
"When the war is over, we can ship the wine to the capital and Yangzhou, and you can make more money than selling wine in this small Shawan County."
Lin Jinyue glanced at him.
This cake is drawn big and round.
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "It doesn't cost much to brew wine. If I cooperate with you, I will only provide the recipe, and those who are in charge will be those who I have trained before. How much share can I get?"
Ji Zixuan pondered for a moment, "30%... No, 40%."
He then explained: "We, the Ji family, will provide the venue and manpower, we can also provide the wine making materials, and we will also be responsible for the fleet and sales."
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "No."
"No matter how much you offer, it won't work."
Not worried about anything else.
Lin Jinyue is good at judging people. Ji Zixuan is indeed a good person. However, with such a large business, mistakes are bound to occur.
Ji Zixuan should be reliable. Didn't his subordinate Guan Xi come to find him in a hypocritical manner?
Not to mention expanding the business beyond Lingnan.
Even if all his people are reliable, for profitable business like liquor, she could build her own boat in the future and let trustworthy people do the business, or she could sell it wholesale to Mr. Hu Sanye.
There is no need to be so anxious to make concessions and cooperate with others.
Lin Jinyue shook her head. "It's not that expensive to make wine. I'm not planning to expand the business to that extent for now."
Seeing her insistence, Ji Zixuan couldn't help but sigh, "You little girl, you are so young, how can you be so smart?"
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "You look so honest, why do you have so many plans?"
Ji Zixuan's little trick was seen through by Lin Jinyue.
So he changed his approach: "How about this, you sell the wine to me, and we'll pay you 10% more silver, but you have to promise not to sell it to anyone else in the future."
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "How about this, I will sell the wine to you at a lower price, and you can handle the barrels and transportation by yourselves. I will not sell the wine to others at a price lower than this."
Want to monopolize?
No way.
If she wanted to sell these drinks at a high price, she could just buy a small boat and transport them to the big restaurants in Guangcheng and sell them at a high price.
Lin Jinyue also wants to use these drinks to promote their Yunheji brand.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinyue added another condition: "However, I can only sell you 100 barrels of wine per month. But if you are willing to engrave our Yunheji trademark on the barrels and jars when you sell them, we can negotiate the monthly quantity."
Ji Zixuan thought to himself that it was no wonder that they were able to gain a foothold right after arriving in Lingnan.
This little girl is really amazing.
In the end, Ji Zixuan and Lin Jinyue signed various terms. She would provide 300-600 barrels of fruit wine every month. If she was worried about unexpected events, she would not be able to provide so much.
Depending on the taste and order, as well as the price of raw materials, each barrel of wine costs about one to one and a half taels of silver.
Each barrel of wine is about 10 liters, which is about two dou.
A barrel of wine in their shop costs about the same.
Ji Zixuan agreed without blinking and asked for a certain amount of money to be paid each month. He also gave Lin Jinyue a deposit of 200 taels.
All the villagers gathered together. They didn't expect it to be so casual. They got the money before they even gave the things to the owner.
Ten large silver ingots, and silver notes that could be invalidated at any time!
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "It's just right, the land has been reclaimed, I will transfer a few more people."
But she began to have trouble.
The land has been cultivated, but people are still needed to farm it.
Jiang Yun wants to plant some medicinal herb seeds, and Lin Jinyue wants to plant some cash crops, and they need people everywhere.
Fortunately, she didn't get carried away just now. At least she only needs to give them 300 barrels of wine per month, and a batch can be brewed in ten days.
There is definitely enough time.
One person... should be enough.
Lin Jinyue was just feeling worried when her cousin Lin Man came over.
Lin Man was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Yueyue, don't do this. If the wine is not enough, can we, who make coconut oil, help?"
Lin Jinyue remembered that she had assigned several people to make coconut oil before.
This resulted in all the women in the village having to work in the fields.
Those young boys who were studying also finished their classes an hour earlier and helped their families plant rice.
Lin Jinyue forgot to do the accounting and just thought that the coconut oil business was good. She asked, "Isn't coconut oil still good? Why don't you do it anymore?"
Could it be that they think coconut oil is too hard to make?
Lin Man said at this time: "Except for the restaurants and snack shops in our village, basically no one buys coconut oil."
Lin Jinyue was stunned.
What? Coconut oil, which was so expensive in the past, couldn’t be sold in ancient times?!
