Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 104 Sun Ji opened up Yuncheng County (36)

Sun Xin asked Hu Cheng, "I don't know where my brother wants to open a shop."

"I plan to open a store in the Jeju area. The trade in that area is very good, but there are no big pharmacies now. It's a good time for me to go in."

Sun Xin thought about it and nodded: "Brother, you have to think about it. Farming on Dulonggang is a steady way for you, and there is a guarantee for every year's harvest. Now you have to go down the mountain to make a living. This business is not compared to farming. , It’s real money that needs to be paid out, but it’s uncertain whether it can be paid back.”

He helped Hu Cheng analyze and said: "When my brother wants to open a store, he must go to the big market in Yuncheng. It's no different than my Sunjiaji outside Sunjiazhuang. It's a street built by myself. I put a store on it or something. Anyone who wants it can have it, but if my brother wants to open a Sun Kee drugstore in a busy place, it will cost a lot of money."

After thinking about it, Hu Cheng felt a little psychologically troubled, nodded and said, "I'll go back and think about it carefully."

"It's time to think about it."

As soon as Hu Cheng returned to the small courtyard Sun Xin arranged for them, he saw his father Hu Taigong looking for him.

As soon as Hu Cheng said what he and Sun Xin had said, Taigong Hu laughed at his eldest son and said, "You are such a villager. You don't know that Sun Xin told you this to test you. You want to borrow his grandson's Doing business with the name you remember, if you don’t put some real money into it, will it be possible for him to give you a name for nothing?”

"But what about the money to open the shop?"

"There are only so many fields on our Dulonggang, and it is still adjacent to Liangshanbo. If they send troops, they might knock down our Zhuangzi. Now that you and your second son have grown up, it is hard to rely on them for the rest of your life. How can my Zhuangzi make a living? If you don’t even dare to go down to Dulonggang to do business in Yuncheng, what will happen next?”

In the afternoon, Hu Cheng found Sun Xin again.

Seeing him coming so fast, Sun Xin knew what he was thinking, and said directly without asking any further questions: "Now our Sunji Pharmacy has taken over the business in Dengzhou City, and the future development will be towards Jeju and Hebei Province. Go to Laizhou. I am not familiar with these places, brother, you know the situation, tell me."

Hu Cheng had thought about it a long time ago, and immediately told what he was thinking about.

"Nowadays, there are some pharmacies in Jeju and Laiju. Although none of them are as famous as Uncle Sun Ji, some of them are local households that have been running for a long time, such as Ximenqing in Yanggu County who makes medicine, and Chen in Shouzhang. The family is powerful, and there are not many pharmacies in Duyun City, so I plan to open his family in Yuncheng County first, it is convenient to travel, and it can be taken care of near Dulonggang."

Sun Xin nodded: "That's Yuncheng. From now on, the pharmacy in Yuncheng County will be run by you, brother. I will supply medicine and medicines for this pharmacy, and you will only be in charge of sales, brother. I can distribute the income from the business to you four." become."

"Forty percent?" Hu Cheng never imagined that Sun Xin would give him such a high profit. According to Sun Xin, he only needs to invest in the opening of the store and the shipping fee to run the pharmacy. What is the rest? It's all paid by Sun Xin, so that he can earn [-]% of the silver?

He has already heard that Sun Xin's pharmacy is located in this Sun's collection, and the monthly turnover is at least 300 taels, and the net income is [-] taels a year after deducting the [-]% of the cost.

"Brother, opening a pharmacy is not as simple as you think. Now I can take care of it in Sunjiaji. If it's in Yuncheng, you can come to Sunjiaji for all the promotion and other things. Learning, but how to manage relationships and how to dredge contacts requires you to take a lot of care, I can't take care of it."

"This is where you have to work hard, brother, so the profit I give you is so high now. If it expands in the future, I will have to take back the profit a little bit more, but brother, you can rest assured here, at least we It will also give you [-]% of the profit as a base."

Now Sun Xin's Sun Ji has just expanded, and does not intend to follow the contracting model of letting go. It only intends to operate directly-operated stores and give agents a little more profit so that they will have the desire to operate.

As long as Hu Cheng can manage Sun Ji in Yuncheng County well and see enough bright returns, it will not be difficult to open a few more branches in a short time.Hu Cheng himself will help him spread out pharmacies throughout Jeju.

With the expansion of Sun Ji's business scope, Sun Xin will naturally further reduce the share ratio.

Anyway, he has absolute initiative in the supply channel here.

Now the number of pharmaceutical workers in Sunjiazhuang is rapidly filling up. After the productivity increases, as long as you sell more medicines, you will earn more money. Sun Xin doesn't need to worry too much as long as the work can keep up.

Hu Cheng's eyes lit up when he was told, and he decided to sign a contract with Sun Xin here. Sun Xin promised that his brothers would never harm each other, and the two signed the contract that afternoon.

The next day, Sun Xin sent Hu Cheng and his family away and returned to the inner house.

In the past two days, he had just started a new project with Tang Long, and when he returned home, he saw that the results of Tang Long's work had come out, and he saw a large shiny stove and a series of Water pipes.

Hu Sanniang frowned and said, "Our house is already warm enough, but why are you still repairing it?"

Sun Xin said with a smile: "In winter, you don't even dare to lift the door curtain, and you can smoke people to death by a brazier. How can that be called warmth? With the radiator installed today, I will take you to spend the new year really warm."

Tang Long's blacksmith shop was opened in Zhuangzi last year. At that time, there was no Sunjiaji, but Tang Long helped the village build some farm tools while making tools.

This year, with the number of Zhuangzi’s customers reaching more than 200, the Zhuangli really needs a blacksmith shop to meet the daily production needs. With the support of Sun Xin, the two partnered up to set up a blacksmith shop for Tang Long at Sunjiaji. In the blacksmith workshop, Sun Xin invested [-]% of the capital with funds and storefronts, and Tang Long Technology invested [-]% of the shares.

Now Tang Long has four or five apprentices under his command, working hard every day. After a year, his income is actually the second highest in the whole village except for Zou Yuan. He can be regarded as an invisible rich man in Sun Family Village.
The two of them tacitly dared not publicize the matter of making muskets, and Sun Xin also wanted to use this blacksmith workshop in which he had a large share to do some big work.

This heating system was the first thing he researched this year.

This thing is the earth heater of the later generations. A coal stove is used to light a fire. The remaining heat on the stove can be used for cooking water, and most of the heat is led to the room through pipes.

This thing is often used in the rural areas of the future market in the north, and it is an important poverty alleviation project. Although it is often troublesome to burn fire and add coal, it is much more comfortable than a kang.

It's just that the technical difficulty of this thing is really not low. This is a heating pipe that needs to pass high-temperature water, and the pressure is still high. If there is a slight sealing problem, the hot water that bursts out will burn people. This method of sealing is really trying to lose a lot of hair, and in the end it was finally made by sealing the outside with hemp rope and then oiling it with screws.

It's just that the pipes created are really stupid, and the material cost of this system with a net weight of hundreds of catties is far higher than Sun Xin had imagined before. It is really difficult to popularize it for a while.

This time, the investment in the big project even sucked up the running water of the blacksmith shop. Tang Long had no objection. He really enjoyed studying the heating system, but the operating funds of the blacksmith shop had a direct problem.

Sun Xin originally planned to install a set of earthen heaters in his village, but he decided to buy the finished product with a wave of his hand and spent dozens of taels of silver. He just used his own money to fill the hole in the blacksmith shop.
