I asked you to recruit three to five thousand people, but you recruited fifty to sixty thousand for me. You have gathered so many people under the emperor's feet. Do you want to rebel or something?
Fortunately, Princess Changle was here, otherwise Wang Zi'an felt that his best choice now was to run away.
Besides, with so many people, not to mention the wages for starting work, even if they just eat, they can make me poor!
"To be precise, there are 63,786 people, including women, children and the elderly..."
The more Cheng Ying'er spoke, the lower her voice became, and her head almost drooped.
Wang Zi'an was completely shocked this time.
When we open a coal mine, you actually hire women, children and the elderly!
Those who opened private mines in previous lives did not dare to do this!
"so what?"
Wang Zi'an took a deep breath and calmed down to avoid being knocked down by more terrible news.
"So, so, we don't have enough money on hand..."
Seeing his niece in such embarrassment, Kong Yingda couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shamelessly took over the conversation.
"There's not enough money..."
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but rub his eyebrows again.
I thought I was looking for three thick legs, but each one turned out to be more unreliable than the last!
"That's 2,500 guan. Even if you recruit more than 60,000 people, you won't be able to spend it all in just a short while, right?"
Even if there is a food shortage in Chang'an City and prices are soaring, more than two thousand guan is by no means a small amount. Just renting a storefront and feeding people will definitely be too much to spend in such a short period of time.
"No, it's not two thousand five hundred guan, it's four, four thousand guan - I, I collected two thousand guan..."
Li Lizhi twisted her long little hands with some embarrassment.
Wang Zi’an:……
Wang Zi'an almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
What kind of magic operation is this? You secretly increased your investment without notifying the major shareholders?
Are you sure you are here to do business and not to tease me?
"Where did you get so much money?"
I don’t remember that poor guy Li Shimin had so much money.
Wang Zi'an resisted the desire to complain wildly. He pinched his eyebrows feebly again and looked at the cute girl in front of him as if he had made a mistake.
"Aye gave it to me? Aye said, I go out to do things, so I can't lose my dignity - don't get me wrong, I, I'm not greedy? I don't mean to ask for more shares? I'm afraid you will misunderstand and think that everyone is interested anyway.
Are you doing something good? Just, I didn’t tell you..."
Wang Zi’an:……
You didn’t want to ask for more shares? Your father must want to ask for more shares, otherwise he would be so kind as to throw two thousand coins to you for fun. Besides, are we doing business? We are really not doing good things...
Girl? If you don’t tell me, you’re just trying to trick me!
Am I, Wang Zi'an, such a stingy person?
"Don't do it? Doing business is doing business, one code equals one code! You have an extra fifteen hundred guan? Round it up? Count it as 2,000 guan for you? I will give you an additional 20% of the shares!"
Aren’t you afraid that you have ideas? I’m afraid that you don’t have ideas!
The emperor wants shares? That would be great!
Wang Zi'an made the decision directly without even thinking about it.
Kong Yingda? Cheng Yinger:......
Li Lizhi's pretty face turned red and she waved her little hands in panic.
"I'm not, I didn't? I really didn't..."
"I know, but girl? Your kind heart has touched me. A kind girl like you should be rewarded - okay, don't say anything else. Besides, you are rejecting my kindness!"
Is it like this?
Li Lizhi nodded in confusion, that's okay.
Kong Yingda twirled his beard, thoughtfully, while Cheng Ying'er glanced at Wang Zi'an with some suspicion. Could this scumbag be taking the opportunity to please his beautiful sister?
When it comes to pleasing other women, she is really willing to spend a lot of money!
snort!
After getting rid of Li Shimin behind Princess Changle, the prince felt a lot more at ease, but his brows furrowed even tighter.
"Logically speaking, even if there are 60,000 people, 4,000 guans are enough to support them for a period of time, right? Which shopkeeper you found is responsible for this? Could it be that he encountered an insider and was tricked?"
"Ahem, I - I'm responsible..."
Cheng Ying'er's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and she pulled out a ledger from her sleeve with some guilt and pushed it over gently.
"The flowers are all here, take a look for yourself..."
You really need to take a good look at this!
If you are beautiful, you are beautiful, and if you are looking for a partner, you are looking for a partner. But if you work together to do business, you must calculate the accounts clearly, otherwise there is no need to do this business as a partnership. The best thing is to break up, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
As soon as he got the account book, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frown slightly.
The densely packed Chinese characters on the paper made him feel a little dizzy, and he frowned. After reading two pages, he couldn't stand it anymore. He simply got up and walked to the desk, drew a simple form, and started counting again.
The three of them, Kong Yingda, were not in much mood to eat or drink after the delicious food, and they glanced at Wang Zi'an from time to time.
It was okay at first, but soon they found that Wang Zi'an's speed of flipping through the ledger had changed. He basically glanced at each page twice, drew two strokes on a piece of paper and flipped it over. At that speed, I'm afraid
They are not even as good as the people in the Accounts Department who specialize in auditing account books.
Eventually, the three of them couldn't bear it anymore and simply stood up and gathered around.
Then, they discovered that Prince An drew a simple table on a piece of paper, and then every time he looked at a page of the account book, he would make some weird symbols on it. They couldn't understand what he was doing at all.
.
Wang Zi'an couldn't laugh or cry while he was counting. In fact, he basically understood why the money was not enough after counting less than one-third.
This is not a business bill, this is a charity bill!
In this account, in addition to a large amount of food purchase expenses, there are also many expenses for cold-proof clothing and tents. What's even more exaggerated is that there are actually a lot of expenses for medicine, medical treatment, and even children's supplies. And
The amount is not low!
We are a coal trading company, not a charitable foundation.
There aren't any big discrepancies in the accounts, it's just that the expenses are a bit confusing.
Wang Zi'an shook the bill he had calculated in his hand and looked at Cheng Ying'er and Kong Yingda with a wry smile.
"With this kind of flowering technique, let alone four thousand guans, even if there are another 4,000 guan, I'm afraid it won't last long..."
"Ahem, I didn't expect this to happen..."
Kong Yingda laughed a few times, took a careful look at Wang Zi'an's expression, and then took over the topic and added.
"Actually, the most troublesome problem now is not here..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Isn’t this the most troublesome problem?
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but take a deep breath, and barely resisted the urge to lift the table and hit someone. What kind of magical teammates did I find?
"Tell me, what on earth can I withstand?"
