Chapter 217： Profiteering industry
People who feel shocked are more than Western businessmen, but businessmen who are not local in Nanzhili will experience a process of ‘shock’ when they come to Nanjing for the first time.
Those things in Nanjing appeared too abruptly, without any signs, and without a process for people to adapt. It seemed that these things appeared overnight.
Other businessmen stayed in their previous worldviews, and found that the world had changed dramatically in the blink of an eye. It was hard not to be shocked.
Just a steamship has made countless businessmen want to break their heads and have no idea.
And those cement roads and fountain landscapes, there is nothing they can understand.
"The changes in Nanjing are so great that they are almost unrecognizable."
Xu Wenjing from Huai'an said with emotion that he had been to Nanjing in business the year before, and he was fairly familiar with Nanjing. But now Nanjing has made him feel strange.
"Master, look, that is the soap and soap we want to buy. Many people are queuing."
The butler saw a large warehouse with the word "Wholesale of Perfume and Soap" written on it.
At the gate of the warehouse, many merchants lined up to buy goods. A large number of carriages parked on one side, and boxes of silver filled the ground.
Chen Daolin has not yet established a sales channel in the north, so the perfume soap they make will be wholesaled to other merchants in addition to retailing in the south.
Although the wholesale to other merchants will make less money, the victory is quicker and the money back is quicker.
Chen Daolin is ready to focus on expanding the scale of production, not to care about sales. As long as he has the sole right of production, he will not worry about not making money, and he will still make a lot of money.
If other businessmen want to do this business, they can only come to him to buy goods. Those merchants who come to wholesale and retail are making hard money.
The wholesale price has already been set high, and there are labor costs and shipping costs, and its profit is only a few percent higher than other commodities.
But just for the tens of millions of profits, there are countless businessmen who break their brains and want to snap up this kind of goods.
"Let's take a look first, I heard that Nanjing has recently added something called a match, which can be lighted by a single stroke, which is very convenient."
Xu Wenjing obviously came prepared, he came here deliberately after seeing the business opportunity of Match.
However, matches have only just been on the market, and their production capacity is limited, so they are in short supply.
Xu Wenjing went around the East Market without finding a wholesale office. After some inquiries, he finally found the Han family.
When the Han family was bidding, they won the project with an investment of 300,000 taels.
Today, this business has become the exclusive sale of the Han family.
After the Han family launched matches, they quickly became famous around Nanjing. Goods like this kind of convenience and benefit to the people, there is really no worries about no market.
Xu Wenjing doesn't have much friendship with the Han family, but in business, he pays attention to multiple friends and multiple paths. Even if Han Sanli is not worried about sales now, he still meets Xu Wenjing, and the two parties exchanged greetings.
In the end, Han Sanli declined Xu Wenjing's purchase request.
Businessmen in Nanjing now have no shortage of partners, and Han Sanli can wait for the price or set up sales channels by himself.
The merchants who came to Nanzhili to seek wealth, some were unlucky and did not find a way to make money, but there were also many merchants who got the chance.
For example, the great salt merchant Tao shopkeeper in Xuzhou, he bought a large amount of cheap salt in Songjiang Prefecture wholesale.
A pound of coarse salt, he used to purchase 70 yuan in the hands of other salt dealers. But now, the purchase price in Songjiang only needs 60 yuan.
One catty is a profit of ten cents. This time, he wholesales one hundred thousand catties and transports it back to Xuzhou in one go. This makes an extra 1,000 taels of silver.
One thousand taels may not seem like much, but this is pure profit.
An average of one thousand taels can be earned each year, which is equivalent to six to seven hundred thousand a year for future generations. This can already be regarded as a successful businessman, belonging to the truly wealthy class.
Moreover, shopkeeper Tao is only one trip, less than ten trips a year, he said, this is tens of thousands of taels of income.
A year can make a net profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is already rich.
But shopkeeper Tao made only a small head, and the real big profits were made by Pang Yuanming and Wu Changqing.
They use steam engines to pump water to make salt, which is very inexpensive.
The average cost of a pound of coarse salt is only about 20 wen.
In other words, they can make as much as 40 cents per catty of salt for wholesale and sale, and even more than 60 or 70 cents per catty for retail.
One catty earns forty wen, which doesn't seem to be much at first glance, but their output is high.
With their current production capacity, they can make at least 100,000 catties a month, which is a profit of four to five thousand taels. Moreover, they are constantly expanding production capacity.
Pang Yuanming's plan is to first expand and build a salt farm that can produce millions of catties a month, so that the monthly profit can reach 450,000 taels, which is hundreds of thousands a year.
Then go to other places to open branch factories, at least ten branch factories must be opened, to achieve a monthly output of tens of millions of catties, so that the annual profit is several million taels.
Ten million catties of table salt a month can’t be sold at all.
Calculated on the basis of an average person of 100 grams of salt per month, the current total market in China has a monthly demand of as high as 40-50 million catties.
A person's 100 grams per month is calculated based on the minimum demand. If calculated according to the health standards of later generations, a person needs at least 200 grams a month, and northerners need more.
Moreover, in addition to the domestic market, it can also be shipped abroad.
As the population increases, this demand will also increase.
In short, their low-priced table salt does not worry about the lack of a market.
The salt business is the real huge profit. During the bidding, several big merchants competed with Pang Yuanming, and finally Pang Yuanming won the bid with the first batch of investment of one million taels.
One million two is the first investment, and he will need to continue to invest more when expanding the branch in the future.
Moreover, at least half of the profits made by Pang Yuanming should be shared with Wu Changqing to raise the army.
Speaking of it, Wu Changqing is the most profitable. He doesn't have to do anything. He just provides pumps and a more advanced salt-making process, and then waits for dividends.
Pang Yuanming went to deal with other hard work and troubles.
Of course, even so, Pang Yuanming still has money to make. After the scale is expanded, there will be a lot of money to be made. As shrewd as him, he has naturally undergone careful calculations and will not make a loss-making business.
If he had not reluctantly cut such a large piece of meat to Wu Changqing in the bidding plan, he would not have been authorized for this business.
But now, those who had failed the bidding could only watch Pang Yuanming make money.
