Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 167 I'm not a TV drama

"It doesn't count the management along the road. Based on 15 escorts per trip, including food, drink, lodging, carriages, horses, food and grass, starting from He Song Town all the way to Lanmu County, Anzhou Prefecture, the cost of a single trip is about [-] taels of silver."

As Zhou Li said, he asked the boy at the side to take a pen and paper to write to Gu Qi the expenses of a few points along the way, and then said:
"A few days ago, I asked Ah Song to go to several escort bureaus in Jiangling County under the pretext of escorting escorts. For ordinary escorts, within three cars, they will be escorted from Jiangling County to Lanmu County, Anzhou Prefecture. The asking price is 30 taels to 35 taels. Between silver and silver, it doesn't matter if there is too much or too little.

If there are more than three carts, an additional three taels of silver will be added for each additional cart.

In addition, if the total price of the dart exceeds 5000 taels of silver, an additional 50 taels of silver will be paid as an insured reward, and if the total price of the dart exceeds 1 taels of silver, an additional 100 taels of silver will be paid as an insured reward. "

"Is this the market price?" Gu Qi asked.

"Price." Zhou Li nodded.

Since it was the market price, it meant that all the bodyguard bureaus in Jiangling County defaulted to the line to Lanmu County, and the starting price of the goods was [-] li silver.

The price is not low.

Taking the list given by Zhou Li just now as an example, the calculation standard for a single trip on the 'Yun'an Line' is eight taels of silver, but this is based on the standard of 15 people for a trip.

However, if it is only within the range of three vehicles to escort ordinary objects, the standard of 15 people is not needed at all.A car is equipped with two people as standard, plus the escort with the car, seven people are enough.

With this conversion, the cost of board, lodging, carriages, horses, food, grass and labor can be reduced by more than half.

In other words, the cost of running a dart in three cars from Jiangling County to Lanmu County is less than four taels of silver.Counting back and forth is eight taels.A trip to the escort agency made a steady profit of 22 taels of silver.

Of course, this is only calculated based on the situation that the dart car is completely empty.

In fact, the dart masters who run darts all the year round are veterans of the rivers and lakes. For such long-term dart orders, they will definitely take on some private work when they come back.If you are lucky enough to receive a long dart with a fixed route, then you can earn at least a dozen taels of silver this trip.

Generally speaking, dart running in the escort agency itself is a violent industry, but the associated risks and hardships are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Short darts don't matter, if you run long darts all the way to pass the checkpoint, the horse bandits and mountain bandits along the way have to say hello, the pier that should be worshiped, and the money that should be handed over must not be less.

In many TV dramas, there are often plots where the bodyguard escorting the bodyguard and the bandit who robbed the road get into a ball, and more than half of the two sides are killed or injured, and the bodyguard of the bodyguard car is completely destroyed.

In fact, this is naturally not the case in the real situation.Although being a bodyguard master is all about licking blood at the edge of a knife, two fists are no match for four hands.If every time the dart bet required a fight between the escort and the bandit, or even a life-and-death fight, no one would do this business.

In essence, whether it is a bodyguard who runs a bodyguard bureau or a bandit horse bandit who is a gangster in a fake caravan, they are all people from the quack.

Aside from the imperial court and official system, the Jianghu people who are mixed in the world also have their own inner circle rules that need to be followed.

People in Jianghu usually use skill, face and capital behind them as the conditions for negotiation.

The chief escort of the escort escort has a wide network of contacts, and he only makes friends from all over the world. When the escort cart travels far, he will plant the escort flag and call out the escort number along the way.

Of course, some money is also indispensable here.After all, both parties are living together, and if they have money, they can make money together, so that they can be good to each other, peaceful and harmonious, and last forever.

"Since this is the listed price, our regular price cannot be lower than this price." Gu Qidao.

As I said earlier, there are industry rules, and businesses also have business rules.If you blindly only lower the price, you may not get much benefit, but you will offend all your peers.

Although in terms of force value, Gu Qi may not be afraid of those bodyguards coming to find fault, but as far as Shang Shang himself is concerned, it is completely unnecessary to cause trouble for himself for this matter.

However, the regular price is the regular price, so there are naturally other ways to do it in practice.

Gu Qi thought for a moment and continued: "We can attract new customers with a [-]% discount on fixed routes in the name of special promotions within seven days of the opening of the new bodyguard agency.

In addition, people will spread the news later, saying that the Four Seas Escort accepts the same route order.

That is to say, if the owner of a single shipment is less than three vehicles, if he is willing to wait for a day or two, the Escort can help him find other owners of small shipments to combine orders, and calculate the Escort price based on the proportion of the cargo.

There is no handling fee for the first seven days of the promotion, and an additional handling fee of three taels of silver will be charged for the order after the seven-day event ends. "

The handling fee of three taels of silver sounds like a lot, but compared to the starting price of the dart list, it is definitely a bargain.

Take the 'Yun'an Line' as an example, the starting price for a trip of darts is 30 taels of silver.Three cars are the boundary, that is to say, whether the goods of one car or the goods of three cars need [-] li of silver.

And some cargo owners themselves only need to transport one or two vehicles of goods, so the price of the whole body dart is a bit uneconomical.

At this time, the benefits of spelling are also reflected.Just wait for a day or two, and if you are lucky, you only need ten taels of silver for a car.

Even if there is no event discount in the follow-up, a handling fee of three taels of silver will be added, which is only 13 taels, which can save more than half of the money for the owner here.

Most importantly, lowering the price of a fixed route in the name of short-term activities and order consolidation is not considered a violation of industry rules, nor is it enough to cause resentment and siege from other escort agencies in Jiangling County.

As for the later stage, of course, you can also do old customer feedback, year-end special offers, new year's big broadcast and other various activities, which are enough to attract a stable number of customers to the Four Seas Bodyguard Bureau.

The scholar came back the day before Laba, and on the night of his return, there was a heavy snowfall that completely blocked the exit of Xiaoqi Village.

Waking up the next morning, Gu Danian found a shovel and shoveled away the snow in the yard.Gu Qi built a stove in front of the eaves, and he did not forget to build a wire rack on top of the stove, put two or three sweet potatoes on it, and after a while, the tempting aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted in the yard.

Feng Qing found a low table to place next to Gu Qi, and went into the kitchen to cook the Laba porridge that had been soft and smooth since the middle of the night before.

"Drink a bowl of Laba porridge to warm your stomach, get rid of epidemics and diseases, and welcome health and auspiciousness in the coming year."

The scholar's workmanship was as good as ever, Gu Qi finished the Laba porridge in the bowl in two mouthfuls, and unconsciously licked his lips.

"Do you want more?" Feng Qing asked.

Gu Qi shook his head, turned over the roasted sweet potatoes on the stove, and said, "Is the matter over?"

Feng Qing sat aside and said with a smile: "The things have been brought."

"The person you want is locked up in the camp."

Feng Qing paused holding the bowl and chopsticks, and looked up at Gu Qi for a long time: "You already know?"

"what do you know?"

Gu Qi didn't turn sideways, and still flipped the roasted sweet potatoes leisurely: "I don't know about your affairs, but."
