Chapter nine hundred and fiftieth: shine
Wang Jingchu's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Because she is the first child and spring is prone to cause epidemics, everyone in the mansion is extremely careful.
Ye Chunqiu became the Duke of the People's Republic of China, so he was naturally willing to stay with him more and occasionally enjoy the family happiness at home.
He asked Sun Qi to roughly sort out the accounts of Zhenguo Mansion and simply studied the expenses of Zhenguo Mansion at home.
The annual income of nearly 2 million taels of silver a year is real net profit. If the sales are simply as high as 70 million taels, the purchase of raw materials alone will be as high as 100 million silver. In addition, the salary payment of more than 2 million yuan is paid, countless funds are flowing wildly at almost all the time.
The current flagship products are still on crane carts, sofas and crystal glass. Ye Chunqiu is not in a hurry to develop any new products. Now China Merchants Group is expanding its carts. However, this time, it is a new cart. This cart is not as expensive as the crane cart. In many places, it can save as much as possible. It is a civilian cart. It is worse in space and comfort, but the price is reduced to twenty taels of silver. This price actually meets the needs of some small wealthy families.
On the other hand, the load truck is put into production. After several debugging by the institute, it has basically taken shape. On a flat cement road, it can carry two thousand kilograms. In a horsepower situation, it can carry one thousand kilograms without any effort.
This is the commercial territory. At least Sun Qi is now promoting new products, which is easy to be used. China Merchants Group has already started its own business network because of its previous acquisition of crystals, crane carts, and even purchasing various logs and minerals.
For example, in Yangzhou, Sun Qi doesn't need to look for people. If he wants to sell any goods, he can roughly find a few Yangzhou merchants. These people have either traded crane cars with China Merchants, or entered Crystals from China Merchants, and got a lot of benefits from China Merchants. Now they want to sell civilian cars and trucks. If they want to open up the Yangzhou market, they only need to write a book. If the other party is interested, they will naturally order some and try it out. As for the local market in Yangzhou, they will open it themselves.
After all, China Merchants Group has now closely linked to many merchants, and everyone has prospered and lost. Because many people make money by selling crystals and crane cars and have produced new products, if they sell well, they can naturally make a big profit from it. Even if they don’t sell well, they can help China Merchants Group sell on behalf of others. Even if they spend some effort, they may even lose some losses. However, if they use this to establish a good relationship with China Merchants Group, they will get more best-selling products from China Merchants Group in the future, and there will be enough profits.
Nowadays, civilian cars have begun to be manufactured in large scale, but distributors everywhere have started ordering more or less. Some of them are ten and some are twenty, and even hundreds of them are rich, they are just a joke. After all, it is a very pleasant thing to launch new products for China Merchants. If everyone has established a good relationship, they can only get more goods from Crystal and Crane Cars in the future. These two are too popular nowadays, and you will not have to worry about not being able to sell them when you get the goods. This is no different from picking up money.
Ye Chunqiu was drinking tea while sitting on the sofa with a faint smile on his face. Looking at the summary of various accounts and the affairs of the subordinates, he felt very confident. This distribution network is indeed very interesting. It can be said that it has covered the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces. Those merchants who deal with the Investment and Merchants are not just ordinary merchants, but are almost all local snakes from all over the country. To put it bluntly, these people are not businessmen, they are clearly "officials", but they just let the subordinates use their identity as "business".
In the local area, these people have great ability, they can control the government and suppress local tyrants. Now, as long as new products are released, they will be left to them to operate. As for the China Merchants Group, they don’t have to pay attention to production and research and development.
Sun Qi also had high hopes for the new product, but there were some hidden worries, so he frowned at Ye Chunqiu and said, "The problem now is the problem of animal power. There are cars. But now the carriages are popular. Many people have fired sedan chairmen, but the price of cattle and horses is still high. In terms of the capital, a horse used to be nine thousand yuan, but now it is better. It has risen directly to five or six taels of silver. It is not easy to support it. The man who rides a crane carriage definitely doesn't care about this. However, the price of the newly launched "BMW" carriage is fair, but... there is not much problem now. However, more and more people use carriages in the future, and the price of this horse is probably going to rise..."
Ye Chunqiu did not show too much worry and said to Sun Qi: "It's okay. When the horse prices rise, there will naturally be merchants transporting horses from the desert. As long as it is beneficial, are you still afraid that they will not be moved?"
Sun Qi shook his head and said, "But horses eat food. If this continues, I am afraid that the farmers will be hurt, and I am afraid that there will be someone..."
Ye Chunqiu smiled, with a little meaning in his eyes, and said, "What if the grain production can be increased? Is there any news from the Agricultural and Forestry Institute? Ask them how many seeds they have cultivated. As long as there is enough grain production in the future, everyone will not have to worry about horse feed."
Sun Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is the Agricultural and Forestry Institute? I don't know this."
Ye Chunqiu knew very well that the next issue was the agriculture issue. To put it bluntly, only when agriculture has developed to a certain level can the China Merchants Group shine.
He talked to Sun Qi about some affairs in the town government. At the end, Sun Qi looked at the sky and said, "At night, a few merchants from Shu wanted to discuss some business with their uncle, so his uncle didn't stay much."
After seeing Sun Qi off, Ye Chunqiu stood up. Maybe the old lady Ye took the time to come here and looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Chunqiu, where have you been there in the past few days?"
Seeing that Old Lady Ye looked serious, Ye Chunqiu did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly said, "Where are the grandsons going back and forth in the Investment Promotion Agency?"
"Huh? Is that?" Old Lady Ye narrowed her eyes, looking like she was exploring it, and then stroked a strand of his sheep whiskers, as if she was a little unbelievable: "Chunqiu, my father knows something, and you can't say it, but, my father also knows that you are young and strong. Jingchu is now pregnant for two months, um... The eldest father understands, a man is a real man, especially at the age of Chunqiu, but... you have to be restrained, let alone... the woman outside, oh... how can you say it, come and pour tea for me." Then, Old Lady Ye looked at Ye Chunqiu very kindly and said with great care: "The eldest father moistens his throat first, and then tells you in detail."
