Chapter 384 Great ambition
Although Shen Zhiqiu believes that even if the two old gentlemen use the most clumsy method, they will not lose a penny, but the main thing is, aren't you tired this way?
It's just this little bit of money now, but if it continues for a long time, how should I calculate it in the future?
He said, "Grandpa, Dad, we have accounts here. I asked Youyou to keep track of the daily income and expenditure. Just use the account book to calculate. When we can't divide the money, let's put a pile of money in front of everyone.
In addition, this account book should record the daily income and expenditure, what was used to buy, and what was sold, so that it will be easy to check the accounts if something happens.
He also said, why don't you two learn it, it will be much easier to do the accounts later, just use the multiplication table formula taught by Yoyo, you can see that our Lulu rarely makes mistakes in the calculations now. "
Shen Youyou flipped through the account books one by one. She did mental arithmetic, and after calculating one page, she would record the next page on a piece of draft paper.
She turned the pages so quickly that people who were not familiar with her would think she was joking.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Youyou took out her own three hundred taels and her grandmother's three hundred taels.
My sisters and grandmothers could each get thirteen taels of silver.
This is the money after deducting the costs.
Shen Zhiqiu was still trying hard to move the beads on the abacus. He looked up at his daughter, then back at her: "Well, don't say that dad and grandpa are slow in calculating. Compared to his daughter, he is not much faster."
He said, "My girl, from now on, you can help me with the accounts. It will be easier for you to do the accounting."
Shen Youyou patted the three hundred taels of silver under his command and said, "Dad, do you know how much money I can earn now that I basically don't have to do any work? I'm afraid you can't afford to hire me, hahaha!"
I was in such a good mood that I could see my tongue in my throat when I laughed.
Shen Zhiqiu rolled his eyes and looked at his daughter's boastful appearance. In fact, he was very proud in his heart. Just by looking at the usual shipment volume of the hairpin group, he could tell that his daughter and mother should be able to earn a lot of money in a month.
But Shen Youyou is his biological daughter, so she is just showing off to her father and can still help with the settlement of accounts.
Another quarter of an hour later, Shen Youyou felt that although the hairpins were expensive, they were slow to make. Although the soles were cheap, they were made by casting molds and had more manpower. The flow of the two teams was actually similar.
But the cost of Shen Youyou and his team is now much higher than that of the shoe sole team, because they have to buy silver, copper, and even gold threads to make hairpins, as well as small pearls, earring hooks and other items, and these are the expenses after deducting the cost of plastic.
Her father's group only needs to cover the cost of the plastic itself. So, by this calculation, the net profit of their hairpin group is 500 taels less than that of the shoe sole group.
The net profit of the hairpin group was one thousand taels, and the net profit of the shoe sole group was one thousand five hundred taels.
But there were fewer people in their group who shared the money, while the shoe sole group shared more, so in the end, she actually earned almost as much as his parents.
Their family takes 40% of the profit from the shoe soles, which is six hundred taels.
His grandfather's family made 10% of the profit, which was 150 taels, but when the money was divided among everyone, almost everyone could earn 3 to 4 taels.
But these are all pure profit. After deducting food and basic expenses, the net profit is made every month.
So when Shen Zhiqiu returned home with a bag of money, he smiled at his wife and poured all the money onto the kang.
Li Jingshu saw it and immediately threw away the broom in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Have you finished the account? These are all from our family. Why are there so many?"
Shen Zhiqiu nodded: "Well, you count it. By the way, your daughter earns half of this amount. She and our mother really earn a lot. If it weren't for their high costs now, they would probably earn more."
Li Jingshu's eyes were wrinkled from laughing. He counted the silver and laughed foolishly, not forgetting to ask about the matter:
"Tell me in detail how much everyone can get, how much is the total, why our family gets so much, if we save money according to this, and work for a year next year, can we build a blue brick house together?"
Shen Zhiqiu climbed onto the kang and hugged his wife. Li Jingshu immediately pulled him aside and said, "What are you doing? Dinner will be served soon. The door is still open. You may not be afraid that your son will come back from school soon."
Shen Zhiqiu said: "I won't do anything, just hold you and lie down for a while. Wife, you don't know that I am just a little relaxed at this moment.
I acted very confident before, but actually I was very uncertain. Who knew that the ancient farmers were so stingy in their daily lives, would they be willing to buy ready-made soles?
At that time, I was thinking, what if we can’t sell them, or after selling them for a while, people think that the plastic soles are not as comfortable as the ones we make ourselves?
You have to know that in modern times, a pair of shoes with sewn soles sold for dozens or even hundreds of dollars, and that was when there were many kinds of comfortable soles to choose from in later times.
Now I can really breathe a sigh of relief.”
Li Jingshu fell on Shen Zhiqiu's arm and patted his back. As someone who had slept in the same bed with Shen for two lifetimes, how could she not feel the pressure that Old Shen was under? All she could do was to try her best to share the pressure on him.
And give him some comfort when he is confused.
After traveling through time for so long, he has been getting up early and going to bed late every day. Even after settling down, it is still the same. Even the red bloodshot in his eyes is no less than that of Master Shen who counts money every day.
Of course, as a man, his fragility and affectation are only temporary. This amount of money is far from enough for him to buy a big house for his wife, daughter and son. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and Old Shen still needs to work hard.
"Why do I feel like you're not very satisfied?"
Shen Zhiqiu hugged his wife and said with his eyes closed: "What are you satisfied with? My daughter and mother also earned 600 taels in total. They can each get 300 taels.
Ask your daughter if she is satisfied. Didn't you hear her say before?
She wants to open a business, a supermarket, and a nationwide chain. That ideal is too far-fetched. With the savings now, she will be able to satisfy it someday.
With the little money we have, let alone buying a storefront in Shuntianfu, we may not even be able to buy a good location in Fangxian.
She wants to open a grocery store first and save money step by step, but we still live in a thatched hut now, don’t we have to save money to buy a house first?
Even though our family has enough money to build our own house, and our mom and dad's share is enough to build theirs, we can't move out and build it ourselves.
So next month I have to go out and look for sales channels, preferably to farther places, so that more places will know that we have these two new items. Also, we don’t have enough manpower, and the current technical production capacity is too low.
We can recruit people from Tangjia Village to work for us, and we only need to make the plastic into plastic blocks.
We can let them make shoes and other things later, but we don’t have enough space here, and it’s not realistic to build a large workshop again.”
Li Jingshu patted his back, one pat after another, which was very soothing. She whispered softly:
"Don't worry. We are already much better than others. We are young and our children are small. We still have plenty of time to draw up a business empire for you and your daughter."
