Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Dividends are distributed separately...
Despite being so young, he has a lot to take care of.
Lin Qiuran agreed to this just to make her child happy. The shop was sure to make a profit, and she was not short of money, so it had nothing to do with doing business.
If Tangyuan really wants to learn how to do business, he should wait until he grows up.
Tangyuan was still calculating in his mind that he would be able to make back his investment in more than a year. As long as the shop didn't go bankrupt, he would make money in the next few years.
On the way back, Tangyuan chattered, "Mom, we still have to control the selection of products and choose delicious dishes. I'll invite more classmates to eat here, so we can make more money."
From a business perspective, if he passes the Tongsheng exam a year later, he will no longer be in this school. He will have to study with older people who have also passed the exam, and naturally he will have less communication with this school.
If you want to make money, you have to do it early. Tangyuan has the mind of a cunning businessman.
Xiao Xun smiled after hearing this. When Sun came down, she glanced at the first floor. There were a lot of customers, so there was no need to use glutinous rice balls to attract customers.
Lin Qiuran said, "What's going on in your head? You should focus on your studies at the academy. You can't always be thinking about the family business or eating. You don't need to worry about the business of Jindinglou."
Tang Yuan said, "I know. Are you still worried about me? When people ask me about my exams, I always keep my mouth shut, never brag, and study hard. You said that friendships with classmates are rare and should be cherished, so I'm trying to attract business."
Lin Qiuran nodded. As he grew older and gained more experience, his mind would not be as sincere as when he was a child. He would have his own little thoughts, and she could not guess what they were.
Now Tangyuan plays with several young masters of the Duke's Mansion, as well as the young masters of the Prince's Mansion. Even Qi Songan has put aside their past grudges, and the two have completely forgotten what happened in the past. When they grow up, it probably won't be like this anymore.
Lin Qiuran didn't want him to regret many years later when he thought that he had only moved forward and ignored the friendship with his classmates.
This is another reason why Lin Qiuran hesitated whether to let Tangyuan take the exam now. It would be good if he passed the exam, so he could do other things in advance and move faster than others. But he is young and might find it difficult in the future. In order to keep up, he would have to work hard and he would also be afraid of having to go back in the future.
Sometimes she wishes her child would always be like this, small, never grow up, and have no other worries. How wonderful that would be.
However, one always has to move forward. After returning, Tangyuan practiced martial arts with Xiao Xun first. After practicing, they played for a while and went back to the yard to do his homework without being urged.
He named the courtyard Mingzhutang. Ming means brightness and Zhu means he hopes he can have the same character as bamboo.
He was only five years old and couldn't come up with a nice name, but in Lin Qiuran's opinion, this one was pretty good, better than Tiger Hall.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but Lin Qiuran was still watching from a distance.
When the weather wasn't too cold, Tangyuan would open the window and do his homework under the lamp. The room was bright, and he was extremely careful with each stroke, never sitting still for a moment, just looking around or playing with paper and pen. He was accompanied by maids and servants, but their only responsibilities were to serve tea, trim candle wicks, and keep away mosquitoes.
In the evening, I had fruit tea and glutinous rice balls, which I would drink after I finished writing.
There is no need to tell stories now, it seems that he has grown up slowly since he went to the academy.
It's only been a few months.
Lin Qiuran left quietly, and Tangyuan didn't even know.
It rained that night. As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill. When Lin Qiuran woke up, she felt cold all over. Tangyuan had already gone to the academy. She called the maid from Mingzhu Hall and asked, "Young Master, have you changed into thick clothes to go to the academy today?"
The maid replied, "Madam, I have changed it. I also prepared another set for you to avoid getting it wet. This morning I also went to replace the quilt in the dormitory with a thicker one so that you can rest there at noon."
The maids in Mingzhutang were paid one or two taels of silver per month. Their work was light, and they just cleaned the yard. Since Tangyuan was not at home during the day, they kept watch at night. The rest of the work involved taking care of Tangyuan's changing clothes for the new seasons, closing the windows at night, and other miscellaneous tasks.
If you can't even do this little thing, then there's no point in working in the uncle's house.
Lin Qiuran nodded, "Well done."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xia gave each of them a reward of one or two taels of silver. Mingzhutang had two maids, two servants, and a Lin Yang, so Lin Qiuran basically didn't have to worry about trivial matters.
The weather was getting cold, so Lin Qiuran also changed into autumn clothes.
The autumn clothes for the people in the mansion were made by the embroiderer a month ago. It's cold today, so they have all been changed and look neat.
After washing up, Lin Qiuran asked the maid to send two pieces of cloth, two pieces of fur, some supplements and six pounds of cotton to Sun's place, to keep for the winter. Sun could make whatever she wanted.
Sun was very happy to receive the gifts. No one doesn't like gifts. Besides, Lin Qiuran gave her gifts, which meant that he was thinking about her.
Who doesn't like others to think about them? But she has money. Her monthly salary plus the profit from the shop makes her one hundred taels a month, so she really has no shortage of money.
She asked the maid to make a cotton pad, and she embroidered bamboo on it, and kept it for Tangyuan to use at the academy. She also made a small blanket for Lin Qiuran so that she could put it on her legs when she leaned over to read.
The things were ready in two days, and Lin Qiuran happily accepted them. It was a gift from an elder, and it would be pointless to refuse it.
Manager Xu came today to deliver last month's profit. It wasn't much, only five hundred taels.
But after showing Lin Qiuran the account book, he found that the profit last month was more than 14,000 taels. Xu Yuanheng still meant to keep the bulk of the money for stockpiling and purchasing goods. Now many people have started to make spices. The price of spices is high and the cost has increased, so he will slowly do it next month.
Xu Yuanheng had confidence in the formula. He had asked someone to try it before, but they hadn't been able to develop it for several days, so it was difficult for others to do it.
Manager Xu said, "Don't worry, Madam Lin. I think you'll get a lot more by next month."
Lin Qiuran said, "I'm not in a hurry. This is also for business. Business is the priority. If the funds can't be turned around, I will find a way."
Manager Xu smiled and said, "I won't need it for now, but thank you very much, Madam Lin."
Lin Qiuran estimated that Xu Yuanheng didn't need it. He had been doing business for many years and was also running other businesses. He was definitely not short of money. Besides, the profits had been decided now, and no one could make additional investments. However, it was still okay to lend him money as a friend.
Lin Qiuran is not short of money. She has a shop. Once the grain from the farm is dried and delivered, her family will have tens of thousands of taels of silver added. She is not in a hurry to use the money.
In terms of business, she is only responsible for the prescriptions, and the rest is handled by Xu Yuanheng.
She looked at the account book and saw that she now had more than 30,000 taels of silver worth of goods in stock. If she divided the profits next month, she would probably get a lot.
As the days passed, the weather turned colder and the two small shops were doing good business. Tangyuan went to eat there once and after that he looked around the shops. Lin Qiuran quietly asked Sun and found out that he had taken 10% of the profits from the Malatang shop.
Sun didn't care about it. "You gave it to me, so I have the final say on how to deal with it. Besides, it's not like Tangyuan didn't pay me. When I'm gone, it's all his."
Lin Qiuran was somewhat helpless. "You can't tell him this. I love him because I love him. What's the point of saying you're leaving or not? You can't even let him hear this. I hope you live a long life."
Lin Qiuran didn't want Tangyuan to be too concerned about these things. He was young, and money was just a passing possession; character was the most important thing. It wasn't good to be too concerned about money, and he couldn't bear to hear such talk. What if he really said one day that all these things in the house belonged to him?
He was the only child in the family, and although he would eventually own the property, it wasn't his yet. Lin Qiuran hoped he could earn his own money. His family was currently taking him to invest in some businesses and sharing the profits. Xu Yuanheng gave him a share, but he had never contributed to the business. It wasn't really his earnings; it was just something the adults liked and used to cheer him up.
Sun quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell him. He's still very filial and spends his money on me."
In Sun's eyes, Tangyuan was the best child in the world, no one could compare. If he really passed the examination to become a student, he would only be six years old next year, and she would definitely return to the village to tell him about it.
This is the child of the Xiao family, her grandson. Xiaojia Village has not had a child of this family in all these years, but his family has one.
Lin Qiuran nodded slightly. A month passed in a flash, and Tangyuan took first place in the October exam again. This made many people who were watching him laugh at him stop thinking about it. Once could be considered occasional, but it happened every time, which was enough to show that his studies were really good.
Lin Qiuran occasionally went to Mingzhu Hall at night, and could hear him reciting outside. He could now recite the Four Books and Five Classics, and could recite nearly a hundred poems. The teacher also taught them how to write poetry. Lin Qiuran's poetry looked a little immature, but the rhythm was correct, which was not easy for a child of this age.
Rather than saying that he is talented, Lin Qiuran hopes that he can be hardworking and not proud.
On the ninth day of October, Manager Xu came to visit again, this time to deliver the profits.
He brought 20,000 taels to Lin Qiuran and more than 2,000 taels to Tangyuan.
We got a lot this time, but there is still some money left for circulation. We didn’t get much money in July, August and September, so we should get more this time.
Lin Qiuran has looked at the account book and found no problems. The dividends in the last few months of the year are expected to be quite a lot.
Manager Xu had a smile on his face. He was now in charge of the spice business in the capital. He had wanted to work with Xu Yuanheng at the beginning, so he really followed him. After coming to the capital, he saved money and bought a house.
Lin Qiuran chatted for a while, "Didn't they say there were a lot of imitations? How's business going now?"
Manager Xu said, "It won't really affect our business. As you know, spices are not cheap to begin with. We can't keep the costs down, and other people's products are not cheap either. Since the prices are similar, why not choose the ones that taste better?"
The Xu family owns this business. As long as Lin Qiuran doesn't give the recipe to others, no one else can break in.
But even though he earns a lot now, he built it up bit by bit in the beginning. Xu Yuanheng ran back and forth countless times and drank a lot of wine to get to where he is today.
Lin Qiuran said, "That's good. Go back and keep an eye on your young master. Business is important, but don't overwork yourself."
Manager Xu said, "Of course. Nothing else to do. I'll take my leave now."
Lin Qiuran walked out two steps, came back and counted the money again. This year's money was quite a lot, including the harvest from the farm and the profit from the Jinding Building... If you don't count the money spent, the family earned 100,000 taels this year.
If you don’t count, you won’t notice it, but once you count, you’ll find there are so many.
Lin Qiuran was very happy when he thought about the few taels of silver he earned every month. He never thought that one day he would earn so much.
Seeing Tang Yuan fall asleep at night, she returned to the main courtyard and said this to Xiao Xun, "Husband, do you know how much money we can make this year?"
Xiao Xun had never calculated this before, so he asked, "How many are there?"
