Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 203 This is the real wealth!

Chief Cai smiled bitterly and said, "We have only heard of this kind of thing, but we have never seen it. How can we know the price?"

Su Yun laughed and said, "It's not that expensive. A pound of vegetables costs about two coins. A cucumber that's less than two inches long costs about 1000 coins in early spring."

The Cai clan members all widened their eyes.

Chief Cai did the math quickly in his head: "... one pound of vegetables costs two strings of money, that's when they're scarce.

Once a large number of vegetables are on the market, the price will definitely drop. Even if it is one guan of money per catty, it can't be cheaper, after all, the cost is there.

Three harvests in one winter, 1.5 million catties, that means we can sell 1.5 million strings of cash in one winter!"

Patriarch Cai did not think about whether the 1.5 million kilograms of vegetables could be consumed, because there was no need to think about it.

The winter in Bianjing usually lasts four months, and it is basically impossible to grow vegetables in winter. Once the weather gets warmer, it will take some time before the vegetables can be put on the market.

So, basically, it can only be sold for about five months, or one hundred and fifty days.

In other words, one and a half million kilograms of vegetables are divided into one hundred and fifty days, which means only ten thousand kilograms of vegetables every day. For a city with a population of over one million, ten thousand kilograms of vegetables every day... well, you can't even get a single hair!
Chief Cai swallowed his saliva, held back his heart beating like a thousand horses, and continued to do mental calculations: "...The cost of building the cave is 50,000 strings of cash, which is actually a one-time investment, and it can be used again in the future.

The manpower is 140,000 per year, and the cost of coal may be relatively high, but no matter what, one hole is equivalent to the heating cost of a family, right?
If a family keeps the heat on day and night, it would only cost about eight or nine strings of cash a year.

By this calculation, for five thousand caves, the cost can be as low as three or four hundred thousand strings of cash. At most, the annual cost is only about five hundred thousand strings of cash.

That means that after this winter, we will have at least a profit of one million guan!"

Su Yun saw the expression on Chief Cai's face and said with a smile, "Can you figure it out?"

Chief Cai trembled and said, "This is overwhelming wealth!"

Su Yun smiled and nodded, "There are still many challenges, such as whether it can be grown, whether someone will come to steal it, and after it is sold, whether someone will follow suit and grab the market, etc."

Chief Cai calmed down for a moment, and then felt relieved. He had Judge Su to back him up. He was also the one who paid the money and had a government background... Then Chief Cai frowned slightly. In this case, it would be difficult to negotiate the shares.

They have provided the funds and the technology, and most importantly, they have official background. What can the Cai family provide? Just people and land. Which village can't provide these things?

However, Chief Cai was extremely decisive. Since he was not qualified to negotiate with others, he might as well sell himself out!

Chief Cai said, "My benefactor, you saved our Cai family, how can we ask you for shares? You can just give us some land rental fees to pay the rent, and then recruit people in our village, just as you said, 300 coins a day. We dare not ask for any shares or no shares!"

"Grandpa!"

"Grandpa!"

"..."

After these words were spoken, the other members of the Cai clan suddenly became very anxious.

But Chief Cai turned around and shouted, "Shut up, everyone! It's not your turn to speak here!"

Su Yun glanced at Patriarch Cai with a look of satisfaction on his face. This Patriarch Cai was a talented person who knew when to advance and when to retreat. He knew that the Cai family had no bargaining power with him, so he simply gave up his shares decisively.

A smart man indeed.

Su Yun did not try to be mysterious and said, "I can give you Cai Village 10% of the shares of this business. Don't think it's too little, because this is a huge fortune. Most of the shares need to be distributed. Can Chief Cai understand?"

Chief Cai nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand! Just let you arrange it. As far as I'm concerned, we don't want this 10% stake either. We can't afford it!"

Su Yun smiled and said, "Just take it if I give it to you. I want to cooperate with Caicun for a long time. If I don't give you anything, not everyone in Caicun will understand this. Someone will steal the technology secretly, which will be bad."

Just as Chief Cai was about to speak, Su Yun said, "Today I will tell you clearly what kind of benefits this Dongzi vegetable will bring to you in your Cai Village!
For the Cai family, a cave planting technology will bring permanent benefits to the Cai family. This is one of the reasons.

Secondly, when Dongzicai is established in Caicun, thousands of people in Caicun will have a stable job, which means that one thousand households in the village will have an income of nearly twelve strings of cash every month!
This income may not be a big deal in Bianjing City, but Caicun is a village after all. The cost of living there is much lower than in Bianjing City. An income of twelve strings of cash a month is enough for you to support ten people!
Not only that, it would not be enough to rely on only a thousand people to dig the hole in the early stage. If all the people in Caicun were to join in, they could earn at least two months' wages.

Also, these one thousand acres of land are definitely just the beginning. What can Bianjing City do with ten thousand kilograms of vegetables a day? It is not enough for those powerful people to share. There are so many rich people in Bianjing City!

What is the key point? This is Caicun, right next to the canal. This is a unique condition. If this hole is expanded in the future, Bianjing City can digest it. If it cannot be digested, it can be directly put on the boat. There are countless people in the northern counties along the river who want to eat fresh vegetables. There is no worry about selling them!
By that time, the people in the entire Cai Village would have no worries about finding work. At least one person from each family could enter the cave to grow vegetables, and even several people could enter together.

In this way, every household will have an income of dozens of strings of coins a month, or even thousands of strings of coins a year. If this continues, Cai Village will become a wealthy village in just a few years!
This is still the most basic.

Once the cave vegetables are grown, vegetable vendors from various markets will flock in. Caicun might then be able to set up an agricultural wholesale market, where not only vegetables but also other things can be wholesaled.

And these merchants who come here to grab food must have food, drink and shelter, right?
This is all money!

The shares of this business are indeed very tempting, but you, the Cai family, are not qualified to negotiate the terms. However, you, Cai Village, can take over anything that derives from this Dongzi dish.

This wealth may not come as quickly as shares, but it is something Caicun can handle!"

Speaking of this, the eyes of the Cai family members lit up. Yes, these things may not sound as intuitive as shares, but they know in their hearts that these things are the ones that can truly benefit thousands of households in Cai Village!
Su Yun said: "However, I still want to give you 10% of the shares, not for anything else, but to let you always remember in your hearts that you have a share in this foundation.

This way you can treat it as your own child and not just a business where you work for others.

Chief Cai..."

Chief Cai quickly responded, "Benefactor, please speak."

Su Yun said: "I don't use this thing to exchange for your dispute with the government because it is too important. If you are not sincere in doing this, you may not be able to do it well.

So I want to make everything clear to you, including the benefits you can get, in the hope that you can do your best to make this happen together.”

Chief Cai said excitedly: "My benefactor, I completely understand your painstaking efforts. Don't worry, as long as I live, no one in our Cai clan will dare to betray us!
If I were to die, countless Cai clan members would surely stand up and protect our common foundation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Cai clan members present knelt down.

Seeing this, Su Yun finally nodded in satisfaction.

The interests involved in this off-season vegetable are so huge that even he dare not neglect it. If Cai wants to keep this foundation, he must fully support him.

Su Yun naturally had his considerations for handing over this foundation to the Cai family instead of other coastal residents.

This foundation is too huge, and there will definitely be countless people coveting it in the future. It is inevitable that there will be people trying to snatch it openly or secretly. If you want to keep this foundation, everyone from top to bottom must have enough power.

Su Yun already had some ideas about the above background, but there must be some checks and balances. At this time, the stubborn Cai family came into his sight.

In order to protect the fish pond and lotus pond in a river, they dared to fight against the government. They were united and courageous enough.

In this way, he will hand over this foundation to the Cai family, and the Cai family will definitely be able to keep it.

Those powerful people who want to infiltrate this foundation from the bottom will have to face Cai’s counterattack.

What is the key point? After this industry is developed, the profits will be terrifyingly huge. By then, even the government will inevitably be jealous, and there will definitely be many people going to the government to persuade them, especially some people may use the market exchange law to seize it.

In this case, why not just give part of the shares to the Royal Treasury and turn the industry into a state-owned enterprise.

However, Neizangku's appetite will grow bigger and bigger, and they will not be satisfied with a few percent of the shares, so there must be a stubborn lower level to check and balance them. This is the purpose of Su Yun choosing Cai.

They are willing to risk their lives for a few shabby fish and lotus ponds, so how could they allow others to take away such a huge property!
This is why Su Yun not only used this as a condition to persuade Cai to withdraw, but also used various means to show favor to Cai, just to tie Cai to this boat!

Now it seems that Cai is on board.

However, this is just the beginning. What happens next is when the real busyness begins.

Su Yun discussed the next details with Chief Su.

It is already June and the rainy season will soon be here. It is impossible to dig holes in the rainy season, but if we wait until autumn to make preparations, it may be too late by then.

So now we have to make all the preparations, such as preparing bricks, tiles, wood, etc.

When the time comes, once the hole is dug, it will be built immediately, and then the seeds will be brought in and cultivated immediately so that they can catch up with the winter harvest.
