Chapter 31 Do you want to invest in individual stocks?
"Eunuch Xiao, the cost is not easy to calculate. Don't look at our work being done quickly. It requires people and materials. It doesn't cost money if you have the materials. If you hand it over to outsiders, it will be expensive..."
Liu Fuhai squinted his eyes, counted with his fingers for a long time, and then said cautiously: "If it is the size of a dozen or so rooms in our storage hall, the cost and labor will not be worth a thousand taels of silver?"
"How much?" Xiao Chen frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with this answer.
"Of course, this is just a small rough estimate. If it is more accurate, I'm afraid eight hundred taels of silver will be enough, and if it is a single house, it will be even less." Liu Fuhai said hurriedly.
"Hahaha, Fu Hai, do the calculations, isn't it as expensive as the less calculation?" Xiao Chen laughed.
"No, those with low wages outside know it, and those with low cost of raw materials know it well, and they are always close." Liu Fuhai feels that he has not missed anything, and he is a professional in this area.
"You didn't consider the cost of technology. This heating system is easy to build, but knowing how to build it is the key! Is it a waste of time to burn oil and burn oil?"
Seeing that Liu Fuhai was so stubborn, Xiao Chen had no choice but to speak more bluntly.
"Oh wow, that's not true!" Liu Fuhai slapped his thigh, "I always feel that there is something wrong... I remembered it after just a few calls from my father-in-law. Yes, yes, technology is the most important thing, and it must also be at the cost In this case, the cost has doubled."
The brain is still too rigid.
"Fuhai, don't decide on this matter yet, I'll think about it later, and since you know the importance of technology, you can't let it out."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, this little guy still understands. As for the people under him, they all work according to their own division of labor, and they don't understand the specific principles."
Liu Fuhai is not too stupid. Although he doesn't know what "professional technology protection" is, he also knows its importance.
"Go back and think about it carefully to see if you can create a few small mechanisms or something to prevent others from imitating them in the future. Also, think about the system we installed and what needs to be improved. Go ahead."
After sending Liu Fuhai away, Xiao Chen came to Kunning Palace again, not looking for the Queen, but looking for Zhang Zifang and Huan'er.
"Investing in shares? Like what kind of shares? What are shares?" The two were stunned for a while after listening to Xiao Chen talking about it.
"It's the shares, which means joining together." Xiao Chen explained.
Oh... Only then did the two of them understand that they wanted us to pay for it.
"What kind of business are you talking about just now? Can you make money? You dare to let us pay for it?" Zhang Zifang slept late last night on duty and just woke up. She hasn't heard about the storage hall yet.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to explain it to him in detail again, and emphasized one point: "Earning is definitely earning, it's a matter of earning more and earning less. In short, if you invest more money, you will earn more, and vice versa."
"Oh, that's right. It sounds like you've done it before, so let's give you two thousand taels of silver. Whether you make money or not is the second priority. Let's just join in the fun." Zhang Zifang said I understand it, but it doesn't feel too oily.
The two thousand taels of silver was only willing to pay for the face of Xiao Chen's boss, anyway, he would definitely not be able to pay it back.
"Two thousand taels? You, Eunuch Zhang, have the guts to sell such a small amount of money? It's too stingy." Xiao Chen shook his head again and again.
"You kid, are you going crazy?" Zhang Zifang was amused by him.
"Little Eunuch Xiao, I don't even have two thousand taels. If you are in a hurry, you can make up more than one thousand taels." Huan'er expressed that she was quite embarrassed. She really didn't have much money, but she wanted to help Xiao. Chen.
So neither of these two have figured it out yet!
"Can't you? You can't even get two thousand taels of silver?" Xiao Chen first expressed doubts about Huan'er's financial situation.
You are the confidant lady in front of the queen, a serious female official of the fourth grade Fengyi, although the rank is false, but the official position is real, besides, you have been in front of the queen for more than a year, and no one even has two thousand taels of silver Believe it?
But what Huan'er said was true.
As a female official of Fengyi, the total amount of food and rice salary she receives every month is no more than twelve taels of silver, which is just over one hundred taels a year.
Of course, there are other incomes besides this, but it is nothing more than the self-help from the queen, and the rewards from the concubines. In addition, when there is any festive event in the palace, there is also a reward as usual.
For example, at the Lantern Festival a few days ago, Xiao Chen defeated Wanyan Pingqiu and helped the Great Zhou Kingdom obtain five cities. Emperor Li Wanjiang was delighted by Longyan, and he gave a reward of silver, which was only in her hands. Only a dozen taels.
Furthermore, even though Empress Murong Danqiu is a lady of the family and the daughter of a general, her life is extremely simple, and her orders are extremely strict. Naturally, Huan'er did not dare to act recklessly and take money from other people.
So it is not easy to accumulate more than a thousand taels of silver.
Of course Zhang Zifang is different, he is one of the three chief eunuchs in the palace, he is also the emperor's confidant, and now he is the chief of the Kunning Palace.
Not only eunuchs and court ladies have to fawn on him, but even those concubines give him a lot of filial money every year.
In addition, all the officials also tried their best to curry favor with him, among other things, just the ice tribute and charcoal tribute sent every year cost tens of thousands of taels of silver...
"I really don't have any, why don't I ask someone to borrow some?" Huan'er only wanted to help.
"Xiao Chen, how much money do you want?" Zhang Zifang asked.
"Naturally, the general ordered troops. The more the better, I think you can get 20,000 for Eunuch Zhang, and 10,000 for sister Huan'er." Xiao Chen opened his mouth wide.
"Twenty thousand taels? Are you kidding me!" Zhang Zifang was shocked to hear this and almost sat down on the ground.
I thought you kid was here to collect money, but I didn't expect you to come to steal money!
"Eunuch Zhang, let me say it again, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. Think about it, all the twenty-four prisons in our palace have to be installed. Even if everyone gets a discount, each family will have to pay thousands of silver. Add up There are tens of thousands of taels!"
"That's just gross profit, and if you count the cost, there are only a few left. The cost is 20,000, which is too much." Zhang Zifang didn't think it was a big deal.
He can earn two to three thousand silver at the top of the sky, which is just a small profit for him, so he might as well let it out and collect interest!
"Hey, Eunuch Zhang, do you think this is a one-shot deal? No! Think about it, since the 24 prisons are installed, should the other yamen in the palace be installed?"
"It's all installed in the palace, should the princes and ministers install it in their homes? Do the government offices with six departments and nine halls want to install it? Do the big households in the city want to install it? And..."
Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, Zhang Zifang came to his senses, slapped the table and said loudly: "Twenty thousand is twenty thousand, when do you want money?"
