The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 147 Taking the initiative to meet the Queen Mother

"I don't have that much money, so just invest 3000 taels!" Lin Ruoxue said.

"Okay, it's easy to talk about buying shares. And let me tell you, the tea business is definitely profitable."

"It's even more profitable than you think. If you invest a few thousand 1 taels, it's not impossible to earn several hundred thousand taels a year!"

Princess Chenxi was shocked.

Originally, she thought that earning tens of thousands taels a year would be pretty good.

I can actually earn a few hundred thousand taels.

Even though Princess Chenxi had seen the world, she was so excited that her breathing was short at this moment.

"You, are you kidding me?"

"You'll know soon if you're kidding me. Although the tea leaves are old now, it is still a rare treasure for those who have never drank fried tea."

"Okay, I'll collect the money and send it to you later!"

"No, get ready first. After Brother Yu solves the problem, you can just give him the money. I have to go to the palace, and I must get the support of the Queen Mother first!"

"You go ahead, let's go home and raise money!"

Lin Ruoxue looked at Lin Hai with admiration in her eyes.

Lin Hai nodded, the carriage was already waiting.

Take a carriage to the palace.

Gong Yanwu was dealing with political affairs, and she was quite surprised to hear Lin Hai asking for an audience.

Normally, every time he summoned Lin Hai, he looked very reluctant.

This time he actually took the initiative to ask for a meeting. There must be something important.

Call him in immediately.

Lin Hai saluted after seeing Gong Yanwu: "I have met the Queen Mother!"

"Excuse me. What's the reason for you coming here?"

"I came here to see the Queen Mother for two things!"

"Oh? Then tell me which two are there?"

"First, the business of the winery is very good. Now it can sell about 5000 taels of silver a day. This is because we have reduced the production and not sold all the wine."

"What about profit? How much profit can it be?"

"Before tax is paid, it is about one-quarter, and better wine is one-thirtieth. After paying tax, it is also a huge profit."

Gong Yanwu was shocked when she heard the profit.

Even if I have seen the world, I don’t know what to say at this moment.

He looked at Lin Hai with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a profiteer.

The most profitable thing in every dynasty and every generation is selling salt, and most of the taxes are earned from the salt policy.

Even so, there is no such exaggerated profit.

It's too exaggerated that Lin Hai can make so much money selling wine.

Lin Hai smiled slightly and quickly explained: "Why does the Queen Mother look at me like this? Are you not satisfied with making so much money?"

Gong Yanwu took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.

"Since the cost is so low, why not consider lowering the price so that people can afford this kind of wine!"

Lin Hai shook his head and said: "Absolutely not! If you do that, it will cause very serious consequences!"

Gong Yanwu didn't understand what he said.

"If you sell it cheaply, more people should buy it, and you can save money. How could it cause serious consequences? Although I have never done business, I can't open my eyes and tell lies."

"How dare I lie in front of the Queen Mother! Queen Mother, please listen to what I tell you carefully!"

"The reason why I set the price so high is so that ordinary people can't afford it. Those rich people don't care at all about dozens of taels of silver for a jar of wine. Instead, they think that the higher the price of the wine, the better it matches their status.

If the wine becomes cheaper, people with status will be unwilling to drink it.

Of course, this can only be done if the quality of the wine is very good.

If ordinary wine sells for such a high price, others are not fools and will definitely not buy it. "

After hearing this, Gong Yanwu felt that it made sense.

After all, rich people demand the best for food and drink.

No matter how good a cheap thing is, they won't look at it twice. They feel embarrassed wearing the same clothes as ordinary people.

Of course you will drink the best when you drink.

This is where the elite class shows its differences from the common people.

"What you said makes sense! What other serious consequences are there?"

"The Queen Mother should know that many businesses make money by brewing wine. The wine they brew is lighter and the price is naturally cheaper.

Some people can buy a bowl of wine for just a few cents.

If we sell too cheap, these merchants will go out of business.Once businesses close down, people will not be able to drink cheap wine, and many people will not be able to find jobs.

This is not a good thing for Daxia. "

"Originally, this kind of wine was sold at high prices to earn high profits, specifically to make money from rich people. This has no impact on the people.

What's more, the high-strength wine is made from wine from other wineries.

The amount of brewed wine on the market has not changed, but we can make huge profits.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes! "

Lin Hai said with a smile.

"You are really good at making money. It seems that it won't take long for you to become the richest man in the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, I gave you the official position of Jing Zhaoyin, but you spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, often not going on duty.

Many officials are already dissatisfied with this! "

Lin Hai immediately judged for himself: "The Queen Mother can ignore those officials. Although I often ask for leave, I will only leave the Yamen after I have handled all the matters.

The less I do, the more it means the capital is becoming safer and more stable.

Not many people are committing crimes anymore. "

Gong Yanwu thought about it and thought it made sense.

"Okay, I believe your reasons for the time being! Brewing wine can indeed make a lot of money, and it can solve the urgent needs of the court.

Since these wines sell so well, why not brew them in large quantities and take advantage of the opportunity to sell them for more money? "

"Inappropriate! Brewing requires food! Our food in Daxia is not enough to eat. If the brewed wine cannot be drunk, it will be hoarded by the rich.

It might cause a food shortage.

So we must control the quantity and not make too much wine when there is a food shortage.

What's more, things are rare and expensive, and a situation must be created where demand exceeds supply.

This will make people feel that the wine is more precious, and they will rush to buy it every time it is brewed.

In addition, I have started to stock up on more wine and plan to sell it to Turks and several other small countries.

Making money from the enemy country is my ultimate goal! " Lin Hai explained.

"I don't understand business matters, but you are indeed doing a good job. Just make your own decision on anything!" Gong Yanwu felt very relieved about Lin Hai.

"The second thing can also make a lot of money, and it can also solve part of the border food and grass problems. But it must be approved by the Queen Mother." Lin Hai continued.

As soon as she heard that the food and grass problem could be solved, Gong Yanwu immediately became energetic.
