Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 97 Use it if you have a relationship (Happy New Year's Day, book lovers)
Juxianzhuang, Huang County, Dongnai County.

Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible!Although this sentence is rough, it is applicable in any era...

Just like the current Lin Lin and others, although they are not yet at the point of running out of ammunition and food, after all, the expenditure has far exceeded the income, which is not a good sign, and if they want to fully use the scale of the existing granary to If the grain is resold, the remaining funds are no longer enough.

The project payment for the granary needs to be settled, the guards in the village need to be paid wages, and the various expenses for the Chinese New Year are about to be incurred. These upcoming expenses make Lin Lin a little breathless. She originally wanted to give some lucky money to the children, and then to the people in the village. Point the year-end bonus, but it's really sad if the money doesn't come together at the end of the year...!
Therefore, Juxianzhuang Co., Ltd. temporarily held a high-level meeting, the purpose of which was naturally to discuss the issue of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

Of course, the meeting was held in the absence of the chairman, and the meeting was chaired by the vice chairman Lin Lin...

Regarding the matter of making money, the general manager Qin Li meant to start his old business and make money by doing business as in the past.

But right now, except for the salt trade road in Jiaodong, the rest of the routes have to be explored from scratch. There is no investigation on the outbound routes, and the price and demand of goods in other counties are not clear. The situation of bandits along the way is still a question mark. The risks are huge!
And the demand on the Jiaodong Commercial Road is not that great, so you can’t just go back with an empty car to pick up the goods. In addition, Qin Li has compared the prices of goods in Jiaodong and Huang County, and the difference is not that big. If the price changes with the seasons , and even the possibility of loss...

Lin Lin sat in the main seat and watched the crowd be at a loss, so she tried her best to force her brain to work quickly, even if she had a little inspiration, she could share it with everyone for discussion.

She feels that there are many things that can be done, but after thinking about it, she doesn't know where to start. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a mobile phone, so she can't look up information. In addition, Chen Wentian also said not to do projects with large fixed assets. This is really too difficult for her. .

Lin Lin suddenly misses Chen Wentian who is far away. If he is here, she will definitely give her more inspiration...

However, by coincidence, thinking of Chen Wentian, she really had an idea.

Because from him, Lin Lin thought of his adoptive father, Chen Zhong. Although Chen Zhong usually lived in the village, he went to work in the wine shop in the city every morning, so she didn't have a deep impression, and she never thought of it before.

This Chen Zhong works in the Huaxia Restaurant. A place like a restaurant has always been an information center, and people from all over the world are in it. Why is there no news?What's more, they themselves need to purchase some raw materials from time to time...

By the way, when it comes to purchasing ingredients, maybe in the future, the chickens, ducks and their eggs that I arrange to raise can be sold to wine shops?
You must know that the consumption of these ingredients in the Han Dynasty was actually not high. The reason is very simple. The common people could not afford it. Only wealthy businessmen and gentry would eat it, but most of them had their own suppliers and even produced it themselves. It is used to improve food and physique for everyone.

If you can go to Huaxia Restaurant and introduce his store manager through Chen Zhong, you may be able to find out useful news from neighboring counties, even if it can solve the sales of some farmed products, and Chen Wentian also said that he had a relationship with the store manager before. After friendship, it should be feasible.

If you have a plan, just do it. After all, this is a difficult problem. The sooner you solve it, the better. There is no better way for others.

As for the purchase of grain, maybe Huaxia Restaurant can also help. Lin You and Qin Li went to the Huangxian market to find out, and then used the relationship with Miss Gongsun to consult the steward in charge of grain sales in Gongsun's mansion, and centralized procurement Food is not difficult, but it is not easy to obtain large quantities of food at low prices. They just suggest to wait until after the Spring Festival to start, and the price may be lower then...

Lin Lin nodded silently and kept it in her heart, ready to go to the wine shop to ask together, then remembered something and said:
"In addition, there is another matter that I want to talk about. It is Chen Wei's engraving and copying of the slips. Here I want to criticize him..."

At the meeting, Lin Lin has always advocated calling people by their first names regardless of their position or relationship, and discussing events should be right about the matter and not about the person.

Lin Lin didn't agree with his rigid and desperate spirit. In her opinion, how many books could Chen Wei copy out even if he was exhausted by himself...?In fact, the best way is to invent printing, but it is not realistic now, so you can teach a few more people to copy together, and it is more important to find a market to increase added value!
Hmm... It seems that this question can also be asked to the manager of the restaurant... She is not worried that the other party will be disgusted if the question is too many, the worst is to act like a baby...

But criticism belongs to criticism. This spirit of working hard overtime cannot be suppressed. Lin Lin also added at the end, and then asked Chen Wei to talk in detail after the meeting. She hoped that Chen Wei would understand her real intentions, and she also thought of a solution. Method.

That is to find more basic children to learn calligraphy and engraving techniques from him, so as to increase production more. Anyway, there are many children who want to do things now!

In addition, is it possible to practice eye exercises in spare time? Looking at Chen Wei's tired eyes, Lin Lin thought of this. Both work and study require scientific methods...

----

After Lin Lin finished the meeting, she talked with Chen Wei for a while.

Soon he took Lin You and Ji Lan to find Chen Zhong, and passed him smoothly to meet the store manager Fan Jie.

At first, Chen Zhong was not sure, after all, he was just an old cook, and his words didn't matter much, but he didn't expect the store manager, Fan Jie, to receive them very warmly.

As soon as he heard that Chen Wentian's cousin came to learn about Lin County's business information, Fan Jie knew it.

Since Chen Wentian had already gone to Longwei headquarters in Yizhou, and this was strongly recommended by him, Fan Jie naturally got close to his cousin, and even wanted to help as much as he could, after all, he felt that With Chen Wentian's intelligence, if he gets mixed up in the mansion in the future, it will be a big help to him, so now he should form a good relationship again.

Therefore, Fan Jie didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"If the caravan you are waiting for wants to open up new trade routes, I have some useful information, but Chen Zhuangshi is not here. Is it too risky for you to go there by yourself?"

"Thank you, Store Manager Fan, for reminding that there is still a caravan in the village full-time in charge. They are experienced, loyal and reliable. They followed the lord to Jiaodong before, and their leadership is sure to be competent."

After hearing this, Lin Lin replied honestly, she didn't look like she was trying to make things difficult.

"Since this is the case, there is a county town in the east of Huangxian County called Mouping. The roads in this place were originally difficult, but now the temperature has dropped sharply, the New Year is approaching, and the caravans have stopped. Presumably at this time, the prices of various commodities in the city must be quite high, especially Ma. If fabrics and tea can be obtained from Dongmu or even Changyang in the southeast, the net profit of bronze wares, porcelain, silk brocade, tea, and spices can be more than doubled! It’s just that the danger on the way is also doubled... ..."

Lin Lin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately looked at Lin You who was beside her. Lin You also understood what she should do, and nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, the store manager, for all your help. It's just that I still have some doubts. It's really presumptuous to ask the store manager to clarify my doubts..."

However, Lin Lin was not satisfied either. She always remembered that she had other tasks to come here, so she turned on the coquettish mode and continued to ask...

In the end, under Lin Lin's persuasion, Fan Jie agreed to purchase the poultry, meat and egg ingredients produced by Juxian Village at market prices, and also told them that the traffic in the eastern county was usually blocked, and caravans seldom went there. It is also relatively cheap, and it is quite cost-effective to buy some food there. As for the sale of the slips, he really can't help, but I suggest that Lin Lin bring more to the southeast county to try...
