I'll just say a few words about Chapter 1945.
By the time everyone had finished eating and slumped in their chairs, Meng Yunzheng had already returned with the account book.
He waved the ledger around. "I've calculated it. After deducting costs, it's about the same as what I made in Dong'an Prefecture last time." Or even a little more.
After all, Mr. Yang and his group had helped consume a large portion of their resources during their visit.
Last time, the main initial investment in Dong'an Prefecture was the prizes for the lottery, while this time, it was the cost of advertising, which was the expense for Jiang Fengshou to pay for publicity and entertainment. This amount was not small.
Another major expense is shipping.
However, many of the goods transported are still sitting in the warehouse unsold. We can only calculate the profit after they are all sold. Right now, we can only give a rough estimate.
However, because of the long distance and the need for transportation, the sunflower seeds and other items from Changjin Prefecture are slightly more expensive than those from Dong'an Prefecture.
They are businessmen; they still need to make money.
Shu Yu was delighted to hear Meng Yunzheng's words. She immediately stood up, took the ledger from him, and flipped through it to the last number, which was indeed the case.
She clapped her hands together abruptly, saying, "The success of our opening is all thanks to everyone. Thank you all for your hard work."
Zhou Tiedong and the others immediately waved their hands sheepishly.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "The one who deserves the most credit is Jiang Fengshou. He was in charge of everything from the project proposal to the later publicity and execution. He deserves all the credit for such achievements. Let's give him a round of applause."
Jiang Fengshou was no longer embarrassed. He had been exhausted like a dead fish just now, but now he stood up and said with great spirit, "Master is too kind. I am unworthy of such praise. But since you have said so, I will say a few words here and share my experience."
Everyone, "..."
Shu Yu nodded, "Okay, you say a few words."
Jiang Fengshou is like Lu Sanzhu; he needs to be given opportunities to demonstrate his abilities.
Jiang Fengshou chuckled, "First of all, I have to thank my employer for their discerning eye. If my employer hadn't given me free rein, trusting me even when I went to storytelling, theater, or just strolled around, and even giving me money to socialize boldly, I wouldn't have been able to produce such a suitable... that business plan. Secondly..."
"Alright, that's enough." Shu Yu waved her hand. "Sit down."
Jiang Fengshou stared at her in disbelief. "This...that's it?" Didn't we agree that I'd give him a chance to shine? It's over after I praise you?
"You said it, just say a few words."
The others laughed, "I'll take it back, it's two sentences."
"Well said, shopkeeper! Let's give him a round of applause!" Meng Han clapped her hands, beaming with delight.
Jiang Fengshou sat down angrily and took a big bite of the peach in his hand.
However, seeing everyone talking and laughing, he also started to laugh along.
Today, he is truly experiencing both pain and joy.
He had been a shopkeeper before and had seen other shopkeepers, but none of them were as free and energetic as he was now.
Although the owner was a county magistrate, he was very approachable. What he just said was sincere, and the magistrate truly had a keen eye for talent. With his own personality, he would only be seen as useless in other shops.
Back when he worked at the Liu family's shop, he had also harbored great ambitions, wanting to expand and strengthen the Liu family's general store. To this end, he diligently considered many proposals, and put in a great deal of effort behind the scenes to make them seem realistic and feasible.
