Back Off, Let Me Come

Private salt is already hugely profitable, not to mention that the refined salt provided by Shen Tang is of the highest quality. The profit is not comparable to that of coarse salt, and he can still get 40% of it. Even if the family is as big as the Xu family, they still cannot be completely unmoved...

Due to emotions and reasons, he should come forward in person.

However, although Xu Jie is the head of the Xu family, he is also the governor of Heyin County, and Heyin and Long Wu are far apart. He is not allowed to leave the administrative area unless necessary, and the same is true for the Xu family's business. As he took office, many of the clan's businesses were gradually delegated to his confidants or trusted clan assistants. He handed over Shen Tang's private salt business to his confidants.

The attendant said: "I will definitely live up to my parents' high expectations."

Xu Jie warned: "Well, do it well."

If the attendant can do this job well, he can safely hand over more business and train him to become his right-hand man.

"Remember, be respectful to Mr. Shen."

"Don't offend Mr. Shen's subordinates."

The attendant will remember them one by one.

This attendant grew up with Xu Jie, and Xu Jie trusted him as much as he trusted himself. And because the attendant knew his admiration and gratitude for Shen Tang, he would not be rash in receiving Long Wu, let alone offend others. Xu Jie was very relieved.

Wu Xian's side was making preparations for the war in full swing, and Xu Jie's entourage led a light caravan to Longwu County to purchase goods. After getting the goods, the private salt will be delivered to various places according to the clan's orders, and then the money will be settled, and the business will be completed.

As for spending energy finding sales outlets and buyers?

Not required at all.

Because the demand for this business exceeds the supply.

Salt is an indispensable commodity in daily life. If people do not eat salt, they will become weak, tired, slow, and mentally exhausted over time. How can people work in the fields if they have no energy? So even if the price of salt soars, you still have to bite the bullet and buy some low-quality coarse salt.

Before Xu Jie came to power, Xu's private salt business had a very small market share. Since he followed Wu Xian and obtained the right to sell private salt in Ikeda under Wu's name from Wu Xian, the private salt business has become competitive, and in the past few years, he has vigorously expanded related channels.

In a nutshell——

I'm not afraid that Shen Tang will have too many secrets, but I'm just afraid that there won't be enough.

By the time he led his caravan into Longwu County, it was already summer. The salt field area began to produce fine salt, and the number of salt wells increased to more than 500. The salt workers alternate between boiling and shoveling salt day and night, and the prepared salt lumps are weighed and put into storage.

The salt dealer inputs ten pieces of black for four transactions.

Five pieces were sold by Xu Jie within the customs.

The remaining 10% was placed in Ruyao Department Store.

Shen Tang also opened a department store in Longwu County. The salt and grain business on one's own territory should be owned by the government. Who should let outsiders take the cake? There is still a little money in the public treasury, so there is no need to pay IOUs to relieve the cash pressure like during the Fugu City period.

As long as you are a commoner from Longwu County, you can buy refined salt at Ruyao Department Store at a slightly higher price than coarse salt!

Of course, this item is limited to prevent scalpers from reselling it.

In order to make it easier for the people to buy their daily necessities, Shen Tang also planned to open branches of department stores in other counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Longwu County. Store managers would choose from soldiers who had retired due to disability. This move can be regarded as a favor to those who work hard for her charge.

And because it cannot compete with the people for profit.

Therefore, commodity pricing follows the market.

The only advantage is that the department store has a relatively complete range of products, so ordinary people can buy what they need in one visit.

When the attendant arrived, Ruyao Office was already very popular, and many people could be seen on the streets. Although the clothes on the common people were still wearing eye-catching patches, their expressions were no longer as numb as before, and their eyes were somewhat brighter.

The planning and layout of Ruyao City is similar to that of Fugu.

The attendant almost thought that he was on the wrong track.

He brought the deed to the government office and asked to see Shen Tang.

Coincidentally, Shen Tang didn't go out today.

The deed was handwritten by Xu Jie in advance, and it was stamped with the Wenxin seal of the head of the Xu family. Only the signature at the end and the weight of this private transaction were left blank, making it easier for Shen Tang to fill it out. For a normal business, the deed should be made in triplicate, one for the buyer, one for the seller, and one for the local government office. The purpose of giving the deed to the government office is to facilitate the payment of municipal taxes and salt taxes. But - how can I say it is private salt?

Can paying taxes be called smuggling?

Therefore, there are only two deeds this time.

Shen Tang read ten lines at a glance.

The contents of the deed are vaguely beneficial to Shen Tang's side.

She raised her head and asked the respectful attendant: "How much food can you eat this time? How many carriages, horses and people did the caravan bring?"

The attendants answered one by one.

Because on the first trip, Xu Jie was not sure how much Shen Tang would produce, so the size of the caravan he sent was conservative.

I thought Shen Tang would hesitate.

Unexpectedly, she nodded and started writing.

Finally, take out the Wenxin monogram, sign and seal it.

I wrote another note to my attendant.

"Take it and go to the salt warehouse to pick up the goods. Talk to your parents later. You can open your mouth a little louder next time. There is plenty of salt."

Whenever I look at the number, my pupils tremble.

Immediately he said in embarrassment: "This, this -"

Shen Tang asked warmly: "Is there any difficulty?"

The attendant whispered: "The deposit is not enough..."

That's nearly half the difference.

Shen Tang thought it was a big deal and said with a smile: "What's the trouble if the deposit is insufficient? With my relationship with your parents, let alone bringing the deposit, what's the harm even if I come empty-handed? In business, reputation is the key. It’s truly valuable.”

translate--

Xu Jie's reputation is worth tens of thousands of dollars to her.

When the attendant heard this, his heart felt hot.

I began to understand why parents praised Shen Jun so highly. This person is open-minded and cheerful, and seems to be an outlier in the intrigues and intrigues of the business world, but his trust is truly touching. He immediately held the note given by Shen Tang in both hands and respectfully bowed out.

The person in charge of the salt warehouse has a mighty face.

Although his face is old, he has a murderous look.

If it weren't for the ordinary aura around him, he would have thought he was a battle-hardened veteran. When Mr. Yang saw the letter, he verified it and waved his hand to let people move the goods. During the process, he heard him muttering: "Isn't it said that the Xu family has a big business and a big appetite, how can they be so delicate..."

The goods sold for ten bucks are worth three times this batch.

That salt seller was called "The Lion with a Big Open Mouth". He looked thin, but his appetite was comparable to that of a glutton. Tsk tsk.

He has to talk to Jun Shen later...

It’s time to consider expanding her salt warehouse.

The attendant felt uneasy.

After some digging around, I found out the truth.

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He forced himself to apologize and patted his chest and promised to eat four or five times the next batch.

However, selling private salt to Shiwu?

Aren’t you afraid of raising tigers?

Because this matter is semi-public news in a small area, Mr. Yang is not worried about leaking it. At the same time, he also needs to appropriately increase the sense of crisis on Xu Jie's side. So he raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Although Shi Wu was scared of being beaten last time, he can't hold their necks all the time. We have to be careful of them jumping over the wall in a hurry. They have money and we have salt. You are in love with me, isn't that right?"

The attendant nodded in agreement: "This is also true."

He also didn't think Longwu County and Heyin County had a good relationship, and the former's private salt business should be outsourced to the latter.

In the business world, we only care about interests, not feelings.

However, there is an upper limit to the output of private salt in one place.

If you give Shiwu more, you will get less.

The attendant began to fiddle with the calculations in his mind, thinking about going back to talk to the owner of the family and sending several caravans to do business at the same time.

If you have the ability to eat all the goods...

This is also the skill of their Xu family.

One month before his attendant came to Ruyao, the experienced salt seller had already brought his men, horses and goods through Yonggu Pass to Shiwu. Because there is no shortage of goods, he does not have to go to the poorer and more remote Shiwuxi Territory to seek maximum benefits. In pursuit of efficiency, he goes directly to the Tata Muru Tribe, which is the closest and has some friendship with him, to make a profit first!

By the way, how much weight do you gain in one week during your third trimester?

It feels like my weight has actually dropped in the past three weeks... less than half a kilogram... I guess it's because the edema started to subside some time ago? ? ?
