I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

why?Because this is a pilot project. Since it is a pilot project, you are crossing the river by feeling the stones. Even if something small happens, it should be normal. Take it seriously, and after you overcome it, it will be fine?

Although this is a very good idea, if it weren't for the presence of a royal family like Lao Li, who would let the current emperor take the blame for him?

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo pondered for a while, raised a cup of tea and said seriously,

"Lao Li, I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I will remember your kindness in this matter, and I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine!"

After speaking, he took the initiative to touch the cup to Lao Li's teacup, and then drank it down.

Li Shimin was delighted to see Zhang Nuo's seriousness, and he even felt less worried about the huge power of the aristocratic family just now. He raised his teacup with a smile and said,

"Just drinking tea is not enough. This is a favor for you. I will take out your hidden good wine later. But I know that you have hidden several new wines in the winery!"

Zhang Nuo smiled and nodded,

"Drinking is a trivial matter. The new wines are all newly produced by the workshop and will be on the market soon, but I have put the best batch in the cellar and hid them!"

"In the future, I will hide a batch every year. After a few years, the batch I have hidden this year can also be sold. After all, after several years of storage, the taste is completely different!"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect Zhang Nuo to have such a plan, and he felt a lot better. Originally, he was just talking to Zhang Nuo, because Zhang Nuo's possession of this batch of wine seemed to be a public account on the books. .

He thought that Zhang Nuo had put his privately stored wine on the public account, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. This is another way to make money. No wonder it is on the public account. It's time to sell it for two cents.

However, Li Shimin had to sigh, this little shopkeeper is really one is one, two is two, he has seen on the account that every time Zhang Nuo takes the money himself, he directly deducts the money from his share of income .

Originally, he thought he finally found the little pigtail this time, but in the end, the person turned around and taught him another lesson. Human beings are not like that at all, making him a villain in vain.

Fortunately, he didn't ask directly, otherwise he would make a joke because of this incident.

But he didn't speak, Zhang Nuo pondered for a while before speaking.

"Old Li, like this, I have already thought about what to do with the two newly opened workshops. Your Majesty helped me take the risk, and I sent two of your majesty's members. As for you, you can't work in vain if you help me make suggestions. I'll give you a piece too!"

"Moreover, you don't need to invest money in this job, you just wait for the money to be distributed."

Lao Li stared straight at Zhang Nuo. After a while, Zhang Nuo felt embarrassed, so he said,

"I just took a serious look and thought about it, and then I confirmed that my virtuous brother has not been impersonated today, so do you have a sex change?

You used to wish that a certain person would only get one share of the five shares of the money, but today you don’t need the money and give it away directly. Isn’t this a change of sex? "

Zhang Nuo was a little embarrassed by Lao Li's words. After all, his face was a bit ugly before, but it was normal to him. If it weren't for Lao Li's rich and connected business, he would let you buy shares.

This is like the financing of later generations. For some unicorn companies, if you do not have any unique resources, you will not be allowed to enter if you have money, unless, as Lao Li said just now, you will only pay for several shares of money. Take a share.

"Old Li, you made a mistake. In the past, it was because I was just starting out, and I was really short of money. Similarly, business is also a business that makes money. Naturally, you have to invest more money."

"But now we are all getting on the road, and our hands are looser. Besides, this incident is really thanks to you and Your Majesty. Then, brother, I will be generous!"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, he likes to hear these words, now he is not as embarrassed as before, the national power of the entire Tang Dynasty is also growing day by day, his need for money is not as scary as before.

Moreover, even if you are short of money, you have to change the sheep to gather the wool. If you catch Zhang Nuo and continue to gather the sheep, what if the sheep runs away.

But I never thought that now the sheep is delivered to the door, which is a bit interesting!

Cheng Yaojin looked at the side with a little jealousy, and asked cautiously and ingratiatingly,

"Master, what kind of business is this? Can you let Lao Cheng and the other two old brothers also take part in it? We have old and young, and we don't have a lot of money!"

"But don't worry, we won't ask for it in vain, and we will definitely pay for it. It is said that the head of the family is the God of Wealth, who can turn stones into gold. Old Cheng brothers also want to take a ride!"

Zhang Nuo laughed after hearing Lao Cheng's words. This guy is really good at climbing, and he chose a good time. He just joined in with Lao Li and the emperor. It's suitable, and the other party said it pitifully, it's almost as if you can't live without this income.

However, seeing that the small shareholder Lao Li on the opposite side did not object, thinking that Lao Cheng and the others would lick blood with their own knives in the future, they should take care of them, Zhang Nuo thought for a while and said directly,

"In this way, you don't need to give money, but you are all relatives of the Dukes in the court, and it will be good to help introduce the business at that time!"

"The three of you will give you a total of one share, and you can just wait for the money to be distributed!"

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that he didn't want money, he knew that the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang had asked for money from His Majesty a lot, but now although the three families only got a part of it, they didn't want a penny, This is a free gift.

As for introducing some business, it's just a trivial matter. If you can buy and sell your own business, you will naturally take care of it.

What's more, judging from the previous situation, the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang's business is not bad, and this time there will be no problem.

Li Shimin didn't react at all to the fact that Cheng Yaojin climbed along the pole and cheated away one of the members. This was a matter between Cheng Yaojin and others and the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang. , Is he still going to stop it?

However, at this moment, he is more interested in what kind of deal this is!

Chapter 295 Scary Profits

Obviously, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin have become shareholders, and they are more interested in the business they want to do.

Especially Cheng Yaojin, his family's previous income mainly came from the little food on the fief. It's okay to talk about it when the years are good, but if God doesn't reward him with food, he still has to take it. The money is used to help the tenants in the village.

After all, they were all old brothers who followed him on the battlefield. They were considered family soldiers and private soldiers, and their relationship had already surpassed that of ordinary employers and tenants.

Now it is a surprise for Cheng Yaojin's family to get a new source of income from Zhang Nuo.

Moreover, since this business can be mixed in to get a share, will there be other businesses that can be gradually mixed in in the future?

This is a great thing. On the one hand, I can cooperate with this shopkeeper who turns stone into gold to make money. On the other hand, who is the partner of this shopkeeper?

It is His Majesty today, what business can be more powerful than doing business with His Majesty in partnership?

To put it bluntly, he just wants to do business with His Majesty, and he will do it if he doesn't make money.

Maybe one day, just because of this transaction, his family's life can be saved!

Li Shimin didn't think too much about it, he was just curious about what kind of deal the money he just got was, to see if it was suitable for the palace to purchase.

So, he asked directly,

"My dear brother, what kind of business are you going to do this time? Are you planning to use all female workers?"

Seeing Zhang Erniang just coming out of the kitchen, Zhang Nuo got up and said,

"Let's go, the food is just ready, let's talk while eating, it happens that the first transaction is related to food!"

Hearing what Zhang Nuo said, the two naturally followed suit and came to the dinner table together.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Nuo pointed to the steaming steamed buns in a rattan basket next to him and said,

"This is the first business. If I set up a workshop to sell these steamed buns, what do you think?"

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin were taken aback, selling this thing, isn't this a staple food, who doesn't make their own staple food, why would they go out and buy it?

These two people are not the kind of people who don't know what's going on outside the window. One of them is used to wandering in the market in white dragon fish clothes, and he sees and hears a lot of things, and the other is supposed to be in charge of the big family. Expenses are very sensitive to market prices and the like.

But Zhang Nuo said directly before they asked,

"If you can buy two of these steamed buns for a penny, do you think anyone will buy them? You can eat them warm when you buy them in the morning, but they won't go bad if you warm them up at night. What do you think?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then hesitatingly said,

"Isn't it too cheap? At this price, people will naturally buy it. White flour steamed buns are quite generous, but we won't lose money at this price, right?"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly nodded at the side when he heard the words, white noodles, his family doesn’t eat a lot of this stuff, it’s fine noodles, don’t look at food is not expensive now, but this fine noodles is different, rich people can eat refined noodles There are only so many noodles, and only in Zhang Nuo's village can they open up to eat.

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"How can it be possible to lose money? If you directly set a loss-making price, it's not doing business, it's doing good deeds. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fear that you won't be able to accept it, I originally planned to sell three for a penny!"

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin were completely stunned. They understood that what Zhang Nuo meant was that even if he sold three for a penny, he would still be able to make money in the end, let alone selling two for a penny now. .

Li Shimin was a little confused. It's not that he didn't know the price, but no matter how he thought about it, he never thought that steamed buns could be so cheap.

Zhang Nuo looked at the confused look of these two people, and explained with a smile,

"This thing, after all, is made of grain. Nowadays, the price of grain in my Tang Dynasty is not high, and a catty of wheat is less than a penny, but in fact, a catty of wheat can produce [-] to [-]% of the refined noodles here, and it can be made into five or six cents. A steamed bun!"

"So, if wages are counted, the cost of five steamed buns is only one penny. If we sell two for one penny, we will earn three, and if we sell three, we will earn two!"

Cheng Yaojin was completely taken aback. He knew that food was cheap, but he didn't expect that the cost of steamed buns made from fine flour was so low?

Just now, he and His Majesty were still thinking about whether this business would lose money, but now it seems that this is not a loss, it is picking up money, and the interest rate difference in the middle is too big;

What is the concept of selling two and earning three, that is to say, if you sell something for ten yuan, the middle six yuan is for nothing. This is simply a frenzied profit!

Thinking about whether I was still worrying about losing money just now, it made people blush. How did the little shopkeeper do it, and how could this thing be completely different when it came to him.

Zhang Nuo was lamenting that today's grain prices are probably less than [-] cents a bucket because of the winter, and a bucket is equivalent to [-] catties in later generations.

According to the techniques of later generations, thirteen catties of wheat can produce about ten catties of flour, even if you count less, it is still nine catties, and one catty of flour can make ten steamed buns is definitely enough.

Calculated in this way, a bucket of less than [-] yuan of grain can eventually be made into about [-] steamed buns, isn't it just a fixed cost of [-] yuan and [-] yuan?

If this includes the price reduction of grain in the later period, the average cost of the whole year is definitely much lower than this. After all, he knows that when the grain is harvested in autumn, not to mention the purchase price of grain, even the selling price of grain merchants is only ten cents a bucket. Directly dropped by half.

Zhang Nuo also made this business after deliberation. This workshop requires workers to have certain pastry skills, at least the most basic knowledge of making pasta. The other is that the workers are required to be clean.

And this kind of thing is obviously not too simple for the group of women in Zhuangzi. As women who serve an old family all year round, this is what they do every day.

At that time, as long as the work flow is explained, the raw materials are prepared, and the hygiene regulations are strictly regulated, as long as such a workshop is properly arranged, tens of thousands of steamed buns can be produced a day, just like playing.

After all, dozens of people in the cafeteria can eat a lot of steamed buns a day, otherwise, where did those strong men with stomachs like bottomless pits come from to eat so many steamed buns every day?

At that time, this steamed bun will be sold as a special food in the early morning of the chain supermarket. If the business is good at that time, you can also get some steamed buns or something, just get the finished product over there, and let them steam it for sale. But it's all profit!

Chapter 296 Zhang Nuo's Business Routine

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin silently made the calculations in their hearts, then fell silent immediately, and at the same time swore in their hearts, mother, if they question Zhang Nuo's ability to do business in the future, they will be dogs!

In their opinion, the price is already very good.After all, even they think that such a business may lose money, which proves that the price has really reached the bottom line.

They also know that the biggest problem here is how to make more fine noodles with the same wheat, but they are all people who didn't spend a penny, and Zhang Nuo got all the investment and secret recipes. If you want to inquire about other people's secret recipes, it's a bit too incompetent.

Therefore, the two of them changed the topic very wisely, and stopped asking about the steamed bun workshop, or the specific matters of the food workshop. Wouldn't it be nice to wait for the money to be distributed?

The three of them are all practicing martial arts, so their food intake is naturally larger than that of ordinary people, and they stop talking and concentrate on eating. , and actually asked Zhang Erniang to make two more dishes and one soup. After cleaning everything up, the three of them rubbed their stomachs and put down their chopsticks.

Li Shimin got up unsteadily and started walking slowly in the room. He ate in the palace, so naturally he couldn't eat Hesai like he did at Zhang Nuo's house.

But at Zhang Nuo's house, it's different. The taste is good, the atmosphere is good, and you don't have to worry about your status. Naturally, you can eat as much as you want, and then eat too much.

Right now Li Shimin is going to walk around to digest food!

Seeing Zhang Nuo's lazy look, Li Shimin rolled his eyes and asked enthusiastically,

"My dear brother, you said before that there are two businesses, but making steamed buns is one business, and you haven't mentioned another business yet!"

Zhang Nuo lit an after-dinner cigarette and said leisurely,

"The second business will not be done for the time being, because there is no raw material, and it will be useless! Let's talk about it in a few months!"

Cheng Yaojin had finished his meal now, and felt that he was getting closer to His Majesty and Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, so he hurriedly said,

"Master, tell Lao Cheng what raw materials you need for this. Lao Cheng knows a lot of brothers in our army, and I might be able to get them for you from all over the world!"

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"Old Cheng, don't think about it. What I want is ramie. We basically don't have it here, only in the south, especially in Jiannan Road. It is suitable for weaving. If there are a lot of raw materials, we can give a lot to the court. Linen is served!"

Cheng Yaojin frowned and asked hesitantly,

"Sackcloth? Is that stuff paid for?"

Just finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin slapped himself lightly on the face, then said with a flattering smile,

"Blame me, the master's touch is golden, the linen here is naturally different from other people's!"

Zhang Nuo laughed out loud when he saw Lao Cheng being so upbeat, then pointed to Lao Cheng and said,

"Old Cheng, you are such a quick thinker. I also said that if you don't like it, you can quit! The linen here is indeed different, but the raw materials are not available, so what you say is nonsense. Let's talk about it when the time comes. The raw materials are really different. Inconvenient, we can do other business!"

"But don't worry, there will be people who promise you! Anyway, it's a money-making business, or the same sentence, just wait for the money!"

In fact, Zhang Nuo was also worried. Processing ramie into linen, as long as the craftsmanship is in place, it is undoubtedly a very good deal.

However, limited by the conditions, the vicinity of Chang'an is really not suitable for the production of ramie, and more raw materials have to be transported from the south.

However, given the current traffic conditions in Datang, if large quantities of raw materials are transported from the south, the transportation cost alone will be a headache.

In the north, there is also hemp, but it is flax, but at present, there are very few large-scale flax planters. Didn’t Lao Cheng say that he knows a lot of people, maybe someone can help buy it.

It's nothing more than multiple raw material suppliers, and it doesn't matter if you earn some money!

"Old Cheng, since you know a lot of people, I might as well give you a profitable business. You can contact people this year, buy flax in large quantities, and then supply our workshops, not to mention earning a lot of money." , but definitely more reliable than other transactions!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up when he heard this, he really found a profitable business, it happened that his family got a lot of fiefdoms from the emperor's favor, why don't you try some more flax this year?

Let's say hello again at that time, Yuchi and Lao Qin's family also has a variety of fiefdoms, and I'm afraid they can earn a lot of money just by growing flax this year.

He sort of understood that in terms of making money, it is definitely much better to follow the head of the house than fooling around by himself.
