The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1621
[1621.Chapter 1541 Convinced]
Zhu Houzhao just looked at the report and already knew it in his mind.
He boasted about Haikou, but it wasn’t actually bragging.
The current problem is just finding sales.
Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers were all silent.
Obviously… it would be a pity to see such a huge loss of profits, even if you can’t get it yourself.
So…
Zhu Houzhao wiped his temples.
Wearing sunglasses.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao walked out of the public room.
When the accountant standing outside saw Zhu Houzhao, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and slapped him: “What are you doing standing here? That bitch Zhou Wenying isn’t here yet?”
“Li… resigned.” The accountant said timidly: “I left three days ago. I said… … He said… I can’t make any money here, so I have to find another job. I heard… I heard that I found a new workshop.”
Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and said, “Go find him and let him stand within an hour. In front of me.”
“Yes…yes…”
The accountant seemed to have received a reassurance.
In fact…
the income of the workshop has dropped in the past few days, and many people are already feeling uneasy.
Mr. Accountant, although he is not worried about losing his job, to be honest, in this workshop, the salary used to be much higher than elsewhere. Although the salary has been reduced a lot these days, he still feels a little reluctant to part with it.
Now that I saw Zhu Houzhao, I immediately cheered up and cheered up.
“Old Fang…Old Fang…”
Fang Jifan happily appeared beside Fang Jifan, this time, he was next to Zhu Houzhao again.
“What are your instructions from Your Highness?”
Zhu Houzhao said: “Tell the craftsmen below that they have worked hard these days. In the next few days, let them take a rest and there is no need to come on duty. Tell them again that even if they go home to rest for a few days, Yes, but these days, double salary.”
Fang Jifan nodded. He knew Zhu Houzhao’s routine and nodded: “Oh.”
…
followed closely.
Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, and Emperor Hongzhi and others were still waiting anxiously.
Chen Tong was even more frightened and had no confidence at all. He actually wanted to say something to defend himself.
It’s just a pity… He didn’t have the courage to speak at this time.
But they saw Zhu Houzhao minding his own business in front of the big mirror in the public room, applying hair oil to make his hair shiny. Then, Zhu Houzhao, wearing sunglasses, posed several poses in front of the mirror.
Only then did Zhu Houzhao remember something: “What kind of ghost tea are you drinking? Replace everything. Replace everything. Go buy the best tea leaves.” He
crossed his legs and waited for only half an hour.
Immediately afterwards, the guy named Zhou Wenying ran over panting.
There were more than a dozen people coming with him.
Everyone else was outside the public room and didn’t dare to come in.
Only Zhou Wenying was alone, and with embarrassment, when he saw Zhu Houzhao, he bowed: “Young man, I have met your highness.”
He did not pay attention to anyone else in the public room, but looked at Zhu Houzhao very carefully.
Zhu Hou picked up the tea cup and threw it at his feet.
There was a clang, and Zhou Wenying was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Zhu Houzhao said: “Within three hours, summon the channel dealers from various states to me and tell them that some things have happened in the workshop these days, but from today on, I am the one who calls the shots here again. Now there are still people in the workshop Let them hurry up and place an order for some goods. Everything is still the same. Can it be done within three hours? “
“Can… can…” Zhou Wenying vowed: “The villain worked hard…”
” Shut up.” Zhu Houzhao said: “I heard that you have found a new employer. Where are you working now?”
Zhou Wenying said: “This… this… is actually… a workshop, but you can’t follow that workshop. As for Your Highness, I have no choice. The new boss doesn’t understand anything, and they even say they need to save money on food and clothing. What should I do with this small errand? What’s more, I have a whole family…”
“Go away.”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.
Zhou Wenying felt so happy that she was granted amnesty.
All this… looks like a dream.
Immediately, Zhu Houzhao led others and ran to the warehouse to have the pickled fish processed.
Most of this busy day has passed.
By the time he returned to the public room dripping with sweat, Fang Jifan had already returned.
When the two brothers put their heads together, it seemed that things were almost done.
Emperor Hongzhi still stayed in the palace, and he was… confused at this time.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan coming, Emperor Hongzhi finally said: “How?”
“Don’t worry, it will be fine soon. I can guarantee you that it will be back to normal in a few hours.”
Then Chen Tong stood in the corner and opened his mouth to say something again.
But at this time, no one paid attention to him.
After hearing Zhu Houzhao’s assurance, Emperor Hongzhi had some doubts and couldn’t help but said: “I have thought about it over and over, but I have never thought of what the problem is. I am in this workshop…”
“Everything my father does is done by himself .”
Digging graves.” Zhu Houzhao said: “How can we save money by managing a workshop? My father… what is the purpose of a workshop? It is to invest money to build a workshop and recruit people. The superiors who come here are not only interested in profit, but also because they can bring benefits to their own workshops.
“I would like to ask, is this Shiquan Dalu really a panacea?”
Zhu Houzhao said. The question made Emperor Hongzhi feel a little angry.
But this question…
Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, got serious, and thought for a while: “It has some effects, but if it is said to be a panacea, it is overkill.”
“Then I ask again, Shiquan Dalu, In a short period of time, it can become famous and valuable, and it can also make huge profits?”
Emperor Hongzhi: “…”
“Of course, it cured the queen, so… many people think that this is indeed the case. Good medicine. But… there are not only one thousand tonics in this world, but also eight hundred. Why can Shiquan Dabulu be sold all over the world?”
Emperor Hongzhi was lost in thought.
In fact, he never thought about this problem.
Maybe… even if he thought about it, he simply thought that maybe it was because he had cured Queen Zhang.
There is no way to think that there is a deeper reason behind this.
But…he still didn’t understand.
Even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang on the side, the top talents of the Ming Dynasty, seemed to know nothing.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: “It’s very simple, because the emergence of Shiquan Dabulu can bring profits to countless people. Once the workshop is opened, many craftsmen benefit. There are also people like Zhou Wenying, who belong to the marketing department, There are seventy or eighty people. My father must be thinking about how to support so many idle people. Moreover, my father must have checked that their salaries are surprisingly high. Not to mention Zhou Wenying, even the most ordinary person. After one month, there are hundreds of taels of silver.”
Emperor Hongzhi thought of Chen Tong. Chen Tong had suggested saving this money because in Chen Tong’s view, these people were useless.
Zhu Houzhao said: “They are responsible for liaising with merchants and having good dealings with merchants at any time. They are the face of our workshop. They have the best food, clothing, and expenses. After giving them so much money, these Beijing people are the face of our workshop.” Only the top people in the country will try their best to organize channels in these two capitals and thirteen provinces to win over merchants. “
“With them, all these medicines will be underwritten by channel dealers, that is, we will provide them. The merchants give money to the workshop for the medicine. From the emperor’s point of view, the workshop seems to be making money from the merchants, right?”
Emperor Hongzhi bit his lip and said nothing, but acquiesced.
Zhu Houzhao laughed, and then said: “Wrong, the workshop got the order from the channel dealers, then it needs to do everything possible to let the channel dealers make money. There is mutual benefit between the workshop and the channel dealers.” We are prospering together. Only when they make money can we guarantee that our Shiquan Dabulu will be marketable. “
“So…Father, if you understand this relationship, you will know…how big a mistake you have made. Wrong. Produce at all costs instead of controlling production according to orders, thinking that the more you produce, the better. But you don’t know that a large increase in production may affect the interests of distributors like Zhou Wenying. If they are forced to leave because of their salary, then no one will be able to communicate with the distributors at any time and maintain a good relationship. “
“My father even… lowered the price in order to ship the goods. This… is simply to abandon the workshop. It’s a place of death. Think about it, father, so many distributors placed orders, and everyone paid ten taels of silver for a bottle, but after a few days, someone actually got the goods for nine taels of silver. Father thought, What are the feelings of other channel dealers? Even those who can get the goods for nine taels can’t help but beat the drum in their hearts, because they are not sure whether there will be a price reduction in a few days. “
“Then, who else dares. Come and place an order. Why would they continue to sell Shiquan Dabulu when thousands of merchants, large and small, find out that selling Shiquandabulu will be risky and may even be unprofitable in the future? ? Once they stop selling Shiquan Dabu Dew, who in all the states in the world will publicize the efficacy of Shiquan Dabu Dew? Once no one promotes it everywhere and people cannot buy it nearby, this workshop, It’s completely over.”
“This workshop’s rapid rise in fame is due to what my father has done these days, which was originally profitable. People become unprofitable, so naturally, the workshop will decline in just a blink of an eye. “
