Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

At first, ordinary coal didn't sell well at all.

Although coal is very cheap in Xu Siyu's eyes, it is a considerable expense for the people in Yunyang Town.

A pound of ordinary coal briquettes costs thirty cents, which is enough for them to buy ten bundles of firewood.

Although the vertical stove demonstration performed by Xu Siyu and his team was indeed very convenient, and with the smoke pipe and proprietary stove sealing technology, the room could be heated up by closing the door, these were not as attractive to poor families as cheaper firewood.

Cheng Jie brought people to promote the product in major markets, and Yang's two nephews also joined the sales team.

Whenever they went out to slaughter pigs, they would bring a clay stove to show people.

Some people saw the advantage of coal in that it did not require long-term supervision, so they tried to purchase some.

Only then did it slowly start to sell.

In contrast to ordinary coal, fragrant coal cakes are in short supply.

At first, Xu Siyu asked Xu Chenglin to take it to Xiangmanlou and give it to Manager Jin for trial.

Shopkeeper Jin thoughtfully placed the copper stove and standing stove in the elegant Chunshuiju. Everyone who had been to Chunshuiju felt the beauty of "Spring is coming to the cold valley with the arrival of subtle fragrance," and they all opened their wallets to buy them.

The copper hand warmer, which was priced at three taels, was sold out immediately.

Looking at the sales data for the first month, Xu Siyu suddenly understood where the purchasing power of this era lies. If he wants to make money, he still has to do business with the rich.

"Coal sales brought in 27 taels, copper hand warmers 42 taels, copper standing furnaces 80 taels, and pottery furnaces 40 taels. After deducting the cost of coal (1 tael), transportation labor (40 wen), mud digging labor (20 wen), clay mixing and molding labor (40 wen), copper craftsmanship (60 taels), custom iron frames (4 taels), custom pottery furnaces (20 taels), and sales commission (18 taels and 9 cents), this month's profit is 85 taels..."

Xu Nianyue was pregnant and counting, her heart was so excited that it was about to jump out.

Although coal making is dirty and tiring work, the profit is really high.

"I heard from Master Lin that merchants who exceed fifty taels in a single month are required by law to pay taxes to the county. This amount is approximately twenty taels. Please give twenty-five taels to your third uncle and ask him to find someone to handle it for you."

"Oh." Although she was a little reluctant, Xu Nianyue knew that she couldn't owe taxes.

After deducting all the money, it still amounted to sixty taels, which was still an astonishing number. Xu Nianyue always found it incredible.

According to the tacit understanding of the Xu family, these sixty taels should be used to repay Xu Siyu's initial investment.

Xu Siyu took the money and gave another thirty taels to Xu Chengjie, asking him to buy two oxen, one to haul coal and the other to stay at home to plow the fields.

Use tools to liberate productivity, make money, and make everyone's life easier.

Since exquisite coal cakes are more popular in the market, Xu Siyu also plans to continue trying different spices in terms of shape and carbon smoke aroma.

A new batch of coal arrived. After Xu Siyu prepared the pear and jujube juice, she watched Cheng Qi's wife Luo Caixuan and Cheng Jie's wife Zhao Anning learn how to make cakes.

Crushing and screening coal slag poses a risk of dust inhalation, so everyone in the Xu family workshop wears masks.

Xu Siyu doesn't want the Xu family to neglect their health in order to make money.

The fragrant coal cakes from Xu's Workshop really became a fashionable item this winter. Not only did the shopkeeper Jin order sixty-six of them to be given to the Lin family for their grand banquet.

Shopkeeper Yu from Nanping County also came to order two hundred of them, to fill the warm room with incense.

Looking at the growing market and increasing profits, Xu Siyu thought that the form and distribution model of Xu's workshop might have to change.

In the past, Xu Siyu only wanted to help Xu Huaishan's family make some money, one to repay her elder brother for his kindness to her, and the other to provide insurance for Xu Wangshi's retirement.

If she met with misfortune again, among the Xu brothers, Xu Huaishan was the most reliable.

So she placed all the investments on Xu Huaishan, and let Xu Nianyue be in charge of people and accounts, so that she could firmly grasp control.

But now, the types of business have increased, and more and more members of the Xu family and in-laws have joined in the production and management. Seeing everyone happy making money, Xu Siyu is also very proud. It turns out that she is more capable than she thought.

Not a twenty-first century termite.

Xu Siyu wants to turn this personal business into a large family business that more people can benefit from.

Before Xu Siyu died in the 21st century, she worked as a group secretary for a period of time. Her main job was to organize meetings for companies at all levels.

I have studied Company Law and have handled the establishment, merger, increase and decrease of investors and cancellation of sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and joint-stock companies. I have also dabbled in the governance of listed companies.

Xujia Workshop does not say that there must be a change in control, but the business management must indeed clarify a more efficient structure to promote its growth and development.

Xu Siyu has the Xu family tree given to her by Xu Maoxin, as well as the personnel performance records recorded by Xu Nianyue and Xu Chengjie.

After several days of deep thought, a new organizational structure was drawn up and the journey of establishing a management team began.

The board of directors who decides the general direction is composed of Xu Maoxin, Xu Maorong, Xu Huaishan and her. Xu Nianyue attends as the general assistant, and Xu Huaize can also attend as an observer.

The management team is divided by business. Xu Nianyue is fully responsible for the down quilt workshop, Xu Chengjie is fully responsible for the coal processing workshop, and Xu Siyu will recruit an experienced accountant and also hire a business public relations person who is good at dealing with the government to make up for her shortcomings.

The Xu family has no capable people in these two areas, so they can only select relatively promising young people and place them under the department to train them slowly.

The last time I went to Xu Huaize to pay business taxes, I discovered that the government had a prescribed account book model, which was different from the one Xu Siyu taught Xu Nianyue.

Seeing that they were willing to pay the tax, the household manager helped them copy the account book and told them that this was a workshop and not a business, so they only needed to pay a fixed tax based on the area of the workshop.

Finally, after Xu Huaize gave five taels of silver as a thank you, the household tax was set at one tael per month based on the fact that the two workshops of the Xu family in Xinshan Village occupied a total area of less than one acre.

The money Xu Huaize had was enough to pay for a year's taxes, and he also took home eight taels.

……

Money needs to be spent to improve cognition.

Xu Siyu's management division of labor stunned her board members. They didn't understand what was going on and couldn't understand her opinions, so they all expressed their agreement.

So, Xu Siyu told the general managers of the down workshop and the coal processing department to go back and think carefully about their production plans, sales targets, personnel organization, and salary and benefits plans...

She went to the county town to find Lin Yiqing to "seek talent."

Only after arriving in the county town did she learn that Lin Yiqing had gone to study at the academy.

The Lin family's gate was still not easy to enter, but at least she could call out the names of Shi Jin and Shi Yan, the two personal servants of the second young master Lin, as well as the old man Li who guarded the gate at night. This time, she could easily find out Lin Yiqing's itinerary.

Why did you give up business to pursue literature?

Xu Siyu was thinking that business was a good thing, and she thought Lin Yiqing would be more passionate about it than her. But it turned out that he was more interested in taking the imperial examination...

Lin Yiqing, who was in Chongzheng Academy, exclaimed "Ah, huh". He could understand the principles in the book, but he did not understand the ever-changing mind of a woman. He often could not remember what she said, and only remembered the normal state of right and wrong at that time.
