Since Liu Jin went to Tianjin, the affairs of Xishan Coal Industry in Beijing have been handed over to Qian Youcai. He used to be just a small owner of a coal store in Beijing, but now he has become one of the shareholders of Xishan Coal Industry.
, and do business in partnership with the current emperor.
When he first learned that he and Emperor Hongzhi were doing business together, Qian Youcai was shocked. He even took the initiative to hand over all of his share to Emperor Hongzhi. After all, the other party was the emperor and he was just a small person.
The status and status of ordinary people are very different.
What's more, the Xishan Coal Industry's business is getting bigger and bigger now. It is no longer just a briquette business in the capital, but has also begun to spread briquettes to surrounding big cities. It is a big business that earns millions of dollars a year.
Although I am very reluctant to part with you, my life is the most important thing.
However, the people sent by Emperor Hongzhi to Xishan Coal Industry responded and told Qian Youcai to take his share in peace, take good care of Xishan Coal Industry, and learn more from Liu Jin, so Qian Youcai is now slow.
Slowly breaking away from the original taste of a small businessman, he became more attentive when managing the Xishan Coal Industry industry, because this was not only his own industry, but also the industry of the current Emperor Hongzhi.
It doesn't matter if he loses money, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't make money. Emperor Hongzhi can't let him lose money. What's more, under the management of Liu Jin, everything in Xishan Coal Industry is in order, prospering, and very profitable.
Xishan Coal Industry employs tens of thousands of people, and needs to purchase a lot of things every day, of which food is a big part.
As we all know, whether it is in later generations or in the Ming Dynasty, the procurement link is full of oil and water. Xishan Coal Mining has also found several managers one after another, so in this aspect of procurement, Qian Youcai is personally controlled
, especially for large-scale purchases, such as the purchase of grain, Qian Youcai will negotiate in person, and he does not trust leaving this matter to the people below.
As usual, Qian Youcai and four or five managers from Xishan Coal were walking leisurely through the streets of the capital. The shopkeepers and bosses of the shops on both sides of the street immediately jumped up and said hello when they saw Qian Youcai.
.
Without it, it's still about money.
The demand for materials purchased by Xishan Coal Industry, which is controlled by Qian Youcai, is too great. Not to mention other things, Xishan Coal Industry has to issue tens of thousands of uniform clothes to its employees.
Tens of thousands of sets of clothes will be nothing in future generations. Any small factory can easily complete them. However, in this era, it is popular to buy cloth and make clothes by yourself, and there are few finished clothes to buy.
So at the beginning, Liu Jin bought the cloth himself, and then built an additional Xishan Garment Factory, specifically recruiting the wives and sisters of Xishan Coal Mining employees to make clothes.
Xishan Garment Factory, which originally only made clothes, was the first factory in the Ming Dynasty that specialized in making finished clothes. Of course, its main customers now are Xishan Coal and Glass Factory, as well as many companies under Liu Jin's command in Tianjin.
industry.
These industries alone require more than 100,000 sets of clothes every year, so the Xishan Garment Factory has hundreds of workers to recruit.
Xishan Garment Factory is also affiliated with Xishan Coal Industry, so the purchase of this cloth alone involves a very huge amount.
Everyone in the cloth business in the capital knows about Xishan Garment Factory and knows that money and wealth come, so whenever money and wealth appear, the bosses and shopkeepers of these cloth shops will come out to say hello and take the money and wealth to themselves.
Drink tea and sit for a while in the shop.
"Old Qian, Lao Qian, let's have dinner together tonight. I heard that Wangyuelou has some new seafood dishes, which taste very good. Let's go and try them together."
This is a cloth boss who cordially invited Qian Youcai to have a meal. Wangyuelou became famous because of Liu Jin's success, so it also followed the trend and specialized in making some innovative dishes.
Recently, a steady stream of sea fish has been coming to Beijing from Tianjin. Naturally, Wangyue Tower has also launched some seafood dishes, which are very popular.
"Boss Qian, Boss Qian, I recently got some new Yuqian Longjing. I would like to ask Boss Qian to help me taste it."
This is a tea seller eager to get involved with money.
"Boss Qian, Boss Qian, I have a batch of high-quality wood here. I'll give you the lowest price. We are all old friends. Just let me earn a fee for running errands."
This is a timber seller, and he is planning to sell a batch of newly arrived timber to Qian Youcai. The demand for timber from Xishan Coal Industry is also huge.
Qian Youcai enjoys this feeling very much. When he meets a familiar boss, the shopkeeper will stop and chat with each other. When he meets someone he is not familiar with, he will smile and chat with him. Businessmen are all smooth and smooth.
.
He used to be a small owner of a charcoal shop. How could he enjoy the treatment he enjoys now? Bosses and shopkeepers from all walks of life in the capital want to please him, get orders from him, and make money.
This feeling of being pleased by others is naturally very enjoyable.
Even the people who went out to do errands with Qian Youcai all raised their heads and looked even more proud when wearing the clothes of the supervisors of Xishan Coal Industry.
Of course, this is also a consistent tradition here in Xishan.
Whether it is the workers here in Xishan, the managers here in Xishan, or the family members of Xishan Coal Mining employees, they are very proud when speaking to the outside world, because Xishan Coal Mining can make money, which ordinary employees can make in a month.
You can earn almost two to three taels of silver. Those who are diligent, hard-working, and willing to specialize in a certain technology can even earn four to five taels of silver a month.
Xishan Coal Mining also provides three meals a day, and all the money earned can be taken home. This income is definitely leveraged in this era. Coupled with the long-term sense of honor training, employees can
Xishan Coal Mining employees are very loyal to Xishan Coal Mining due to their ability to read and write in night school.
Naturally, the people of Xishan Coal Industry appear to be quite arrogant to the outside world.
Qian Youcai led people walking on the streets of the capital, and soon came to a place dedicated to buying and selling grain.
When it comes to other purchases here at Xishan Coal Industry, money has always been very convenient. As long as the money is spread, a lot of people are willing to do business with them. Only the purchase of grains has been a problem since the famine spread.
From then on, even if he had money, he could not buy food.
Many times, even if he had money, it would be useless to ask his grandfather to sue his grandmother, which made him angry and helpless.
