Chapter 6 The Most Profitable Industries

Since Chen Ying left Chang'an for more than half a year, he rarely asked about the property management of the Chen family, but this time he had to get acquainted with his property issues.

The bank is mainly managed by Ma Zhou. Unknowingly, Ma Zhou expanded Chen Ying's bank from a headquarters in Chang'an to Taiyuan, Luoyang, Chengdu, Lingzhou, Jincheng (now Lanzhou), Jiuquan, etc. , Dunhuang, and Xiangyang eight branches, 26 branches.

It is still far away from Chen Ying's ideal of having one branch in every state and at least one branch in every county. The key point is that this has already produced a very good start. What surprised Chen Ying most is that Datang Tongli Bank now has a storage of 120 million coins , The loans lent to merchants or farmers for production or operation are more than 80 guan. Only these loans, not counting the profit of making money, the annual gross profit of Datang Tongli Bank is as high as 16 guan. Excluding necessary expenses , with a surplus of more than [-] Guan.

Other industries, such as carriage workshops, iron and steel workshops, blade armor and crossbow workshops, have produced a total of 7000 sets of light armor, 20 sets of heavy armor, and more than [-] handles of horizontal knives in the past six months. There are more than [-] Mo knives, but there are more than [-] crossbows. It is roughly estimated that the gross profit of these is more than [-].

Chen Ying knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to control these properties, even if he pulled the tiger skin of the East Palace. After all, Li Jiancheng was not yet the emperor, even if he was the emperor, it was impossible for him to control these terrible properties.However, what makes Chen Ying a little more comfortable is that the profits of these industries will decrease as Datang wins the Battle of the Central Plains and the Battle of Hebei.

For quite some time to come, Datang's consumption of armor and weapons will remain at a very low level.The output of the weapon supervisor alone can definitely guarantee the consumption of the whole army of Datang. By that time, the armor and weapons he produces will no longer have a market.

Of course, Chen Ying’s most painful thing is the iron and steel workshop. With the victory of the Tang Dynasty’s civil war, after three years of Wude, there will be no large-scale war in the next period. Although the military steel has decreased, the Datang's demand for steel is far from being saturated.Because of the scarcity of steel resources, many remote areas still use stone or wooden farming tools, so the steel market is still very large.

The monopoly of the salt and iron imperial court is the national policy of the Tang court, as well as the national policy of all dynasties, and it is also an important link in the income of the Tang treasury. Although all the powerful and aristocratic families have such workshops, they also have a certain amount of steel. Production, however, most of this part of the steel production will be directly digested internally by the major families, and will rarely flow to the market. The key is that the output of Chen Ying's steel workshop is really scary. The output is less than half of that of Chen Ying.

As the saying goes, everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Withdrawing from the steel and salt industry is also Chen Ying's established strategy.Because this industry is too dreadful. After all, steel resources are the strategic materials of this era. In later generations, industries such as oil, natural gas, and electricity will never be privatized.

However, Chen Ying has long wanted to change careers.

For thousands of years, a big factor in suppressing commerce, sea, and industry was to ensure the unification of imperial power and the sole authority of the monarchy.Once you open your mouth and expand the scale of navigation, commerce and industry, and the people's hearts are alive, how many people will willingly bow down to the monarchy and imperial power?
Of course, with the collapse of the agricultural society and industrial production becoming more and more the center of gravity of the empire, new trends of thought will inevitably emerge, and social changes will follow.

At that point, even if the monarchy can be barely maintained, it will be erected in a castle in the air.

But at present, the society is still dominated by agricultural production. With such a huge territory, the centralized monarchy is an effective means to maintain social order.The key is that in the imperial system, can we make an opening for the social changes that are destined to come in future generations, and ease the impact on society when the changes come; or use the time of several generations to actively cater to the new changes?
Chen Ying knew that the issue of land annexation was a shackle around the neck of the Chinese nation, and it was also a curse on the head of the Chinese nation. From division to unification, from poverty to prosperity, from prosperity to weakness, the Chinese nation I can't get out of this strange circle.

Chen Ying knew that the only way to change this phenomenon was to promote industry and business, and complete social change and transformation. Although this kind of change and transformation was painful and had obvious side effects, it was also a helpless move.

Steel is the foundation of industry, and Chen Ying doesn't care who owns the steel industry. Lowering the price of steel to the price of cabbage can serve the whole people and make it affordable for ordinary people. This is Chen Ying's goal.

Once the plate of the steel industry is given to the imperial court, no matter whether it is Li Yuan or the imperial court, they must not be too ugly, and they will give Chen Ying some compensation, and Chen Ying will use the compensation money to set up Datang Industry on the one hand. University, on the one hand, focuses on opening a Datang Medical College.

The industry of saving lives and healing the wounded will not be countered by Confucianism or feared by the court. At the same time, it can make money and win a good reputation. The most important thing is that Chen Ying can use the channel of the hospital to manage his network of contacts.

Although Chen Ying was already a high-ranking official of the third rank at this time, his influence in the court was very small, and he had almost no contact with the major families, powerful families, and officials.

When Chen Ying finished checking the accounts with Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong, the sky had already brightened. Chen Ying rubbed his red eyes and said, "It's getting late, let's all go back and rest."

Xu Jingzong opened his mouth to speak. He didn't know it before, but now he knows it. Chen Ying has an industry that can make nearly a million dollars a year. With all kinds of reluctance.

Chen Ying looked at Xu Jingzong's expression, and said with a smile: "Throughout the ages, going against the imperial court has never ended well. The imperial court has countless ways to play to death. Now I can really play the emotional card with His Majesty the Emperor to keep these things. Industry, of course, this can only be temporary. But is it really necessary?"

"There is no need for a gross profit of one million guan a year!" Xu Jingzong said: "In addition to the 70% profit that we share with the East Palace, we still have at least [-] guan in profit. This money is much more useful!"

Chen Ying stood up, looked at Xu Jingzong solemnly and said, "Is 70 guan a lot?"

"Why not much?" Xu Jingzong said, "The Lord's income in the previous year was close to one-fifth of the treasury's income. If this is not too much, how can it be considered too much?"

Chen Ying pointed to Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Zhou, tell Mr. Xu that 70 guan a year is really a lot?"

Ma Zhou shook his head and said, "Really not many!"

"You... don't forget, although Tongli Bank has money, the money is not from the bank, but from the depositors!" Xu Jingzong said: "Ma Langjun, Tang Tongli Bank has only made a profit of [-] guan in the past six months. Compared with the profit of the steel workshop, it is far worse!"

As the so-called interlacing is like a mountain, Xu Jingzong didn't manage the affairs of the bank, and he didn't know much about the bank.

Although the bank's business profit is only [-] yuan, it is mainly because Chen Ying's Datang Tongli Bank is currently expanding its spare time, and most of the profit is invested in the newly opened bank. The balance of payments is slightly earned.

However, once Datang Tongli Bank can truly benefit the world, that is the time for Chen Ying to collect money on a large scale.

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Don't believe me, I've thought of a better way to make money now!"

The eyes of Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong met in the air, and they almost said in unison: "What is the master's plan?"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "I'm going to open Datang Boren Hospital, and I'm going to open Boren Hospital to every province, every state, and every city in Datang..."

If in future generations, if you want to ask what is the most profitable industry, some people will say finance, some people will say real estate, and some people will say communication, electronics, IT. The answers are varied, but the real most profitable industry The industry is not real estate. Ten times the profit of real estate is certainly not small, but compared with the medical industry's tens of hundreds of times, up to thousands of times tens of thousands of times, the profits of real estate are really not enough.

In the Celestial Dynasty, who dares to get sick, even a middle-class family, a serious illness will ruin the family.

In fact, in this day and age, even more so.

Chen Ying decided to open a hospital, which was divided into three classes.The truly poor enjoy free or zero-profit medical services, small and medium landlords enjoy VIP services, and the rich and powerful enjoy supreme-level services.

In this way, Chen Ying can not only gain the support of the hard-working people, but also the favor of the aristocratic family, and both sides get what they need.Chen Ying can also use the hospital management system of later generations to build Datang's Boren hospital system.

Once this industry takes shape, it will be the most profitable industry other than printing money.This is the true joy of all.

……

Finally, Li Jiancheng arrived in Chang'an before Li Xiuning left the cabinet. When he saw Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning, who was wearing a red wedding dress, seemed to have just cried, and his eyes were red and swollen like peaches.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "It's such a happy event, you've been crying all the time, but you've been wronged? Don't cry anymore, you won't be a beautiful bride anymore."

Li Xiuning wiped the tears from his face and said, "Brother, what should I do if I was bullied by others?"

"It's always you who bully others, how can anyone bully you?" Li Jiancheng smiled, put the Fengguanxia necklace on Li Xiuning with his own hands, and said, "However, don't worry, brother Wei is here, if Chen Ying dares to bully you You, I must make him look good."
