(Thanks for the tip support when I finally have time, thank you!)
Huaiyu fell in love with this house in Huaiyuanfang at first sight.
This is a typical corridor courtyard in the Tang Dynasty, which is very different from the courtyard.
Wu Junya closed the courtyard door and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I didn't meet the Fan family's mother insect. Ever since that mother insect killed seven horses in the street, I rarely come here now, just for fear of encountering this mother insect.
I accidentally collided."
"Let me introduce this courtyard to you. It is a corridor with three entrances from the front to the back. The front yard is long and horizontal, the main yard is square and wide, and there is a yard in the middle. There is also an outer yard on the side that is a stable and carriage house, with a front hall and a back hall.
There is a servant room in the middle, a kitchen and a warehouse, each with three main rooms, and the frontage is six steps wide. The entire house covers a total area of five acres, so it is indeed a bit compact."
In the Tang Dynasty, one acre was equivalent to 540 square meters in later generations. This is a large villa covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters.
It is still a single-family house, surrounded by rammed earth walls and surrounded by verandahs.
"This yard is very good." Huaiyu praised.
"I like you to stay here when you are in Chang'an."
As for valuation and pricing, you don’t need to worry too much if it fails.
"Complete the procedures as soon as possible."
They chose the name of the medicine shop Qianjintang and decided to open a store in Dongshi first.
Wu Junya then planned to go home and get the money and silk.
Compared with the Beijing courtyard house that impressed Huaiyu deeply in his memory, this corridor courtyard from the Tang Dynasty is also very unique. The south courtyard is the main courtyard and the front yard. It has a long horizontal layout and consists of a main room, a wing room, a living room, a study room, etc.
Huaiyu shook his head, "What I mean by a thousand gold coins is that a human life is more valuable than a thousand gold coins, and if one can save people from danger, the value should be even greater than this."
"You first go to Dongshi Medical Store to find a bank and prepare some gifts. The gifts that should be given have to be delivered. There is no need to deliberately conceal your identity. Just tell them that you are from my Wu family. If anyone deliberately blocks it, think about the consequences.
.”
Huaiyu encouraged him: "Although my brother and I invested money to open this Qianjintang jointly, it will be very hard for you as the shopkeeper in the future. If you work hard, the shop will make a profit, and we will get 80% of it.
Shopkeepers, guys, wait and get two,"
"If Dalang wants to do the pill business, it would be best to open a pharmacy in the West Market or the East Market, hire a few professional pharmacists, or even a doctor, and hire some assistants and apprentices. Of course, whether in the East Market or the East Market,
To open a business in the West City, you must first invest in a bank. The ones in the East City are called medicine shops, and the ones in the West City are called medicine markets. These are the guilds for the medicine business. They are all recommended by the medicine dealers. The head of the line appointed by the government is also called the head of the line.
What do you want to take in your heart, Tongrentang, Qingyutang, Jiuzhitang, Huichuntang, Yongantang, Changchuntang?
The fat man was also a little surprised. It was not that he felt that Huaiyu had made his own decisions. He had originally agreed to leave the management to Huaiyu, but he just asked his brother-in-law to show up. He also felt that this condition was too good.
"I'll leave this matter to you." The fat man waved his hand.
"In the future, the front yard can be used as a pharmaceutical workshop, the back yard can be your living area, and the middle yard can be used as a medicine storage warehouse. We can also recruit some pharmacists and servants." The fat man was also very optimistic about Huaiyu's medicine and invested a lot of money.
"This courtyard is not bad. Most small courtyards only occupy about two acres in the front and rear courtyards. Generally, there is no middle courtyard. The domestic servants, maids, kitchen, and firewood shed are mostly in the outer courtyard or the servants are in the front yard."
Although many noble families in Chang'an look down on the wealthy Wu family, who would dare to offend the small businessmen in Dongshi?
"One more thing, since this is a partnership business, although brother trusts me, the accounts must be clear. We have invested a total of four hundred dollars now. From now on, all expenses must be clearly recorded and the accounts must be correct.
Only if you go up."
"Then let's tentatively set a 10% dividend, which is the profit after deducting costs. Nine of us and one of you. From now on, when the store recruits pharmacists, assistants, apprentices, or even coachmen, I don't care how many we recruit. You will get one-third of this 10%.
, the remaining two-thirds will be divided among the others according to how hard they work in the ministry.”
Taking dead wages, or just getting some bonuses, is definitely different from paying dividends directly, so that they can take this matter as their own and work hard.
"I wouldn't dare." Zhao Xin didn't mention the salary at all after he was recruited. Anyway, his brother-in-law couldn't lose him. Now Huaiyu offered to give them 20% of their virginity, but he was surprised and refused again and again. The conditions were too good.
.
The central hall, east hall, south pavilion, south room, and north hall are connected by verandahs, which are somewhat different from a courtyard with one front and two wings.
The small courtyard can be moved in directly with a bag, and the furniture is all available. The kitchen can be turned on at any time, and there are even a few kilograms of rice and a lot of charcoal stored in the warehouse.
Going to an investment bank according to the rules is just a formality to give face to the guild boss.
The fat man twirled his beard and said, "Our most precious elixir costs a thousand dollars, so why is it so named?"
This is the simplest financial system to prevent confusion in accounts, financial loopholes and even corruption, etc.
"It's much more than this price now, isn't it?"
The four hundred guan of money will then be placed in the Qianjin Hall, under the unified management of Huaiyu.
The fat man turned around and asked Huaiyu, "Erlang, please get one."
"Even if you lose, you won't be responsible. We can also set a basic wage for you. If the profit share at the end of the year does not reach the wage, we will also give you the full wage. If it exceeds the basic wage, you will get as many points as you want."
"Brother will send someone trustworthy, and he will be responsible for managing the money and warehouse. I will also take care of the accounting for the time being. In the future, we will make a rule. I will be responsible for managing the accounts, and the person sent by Brother will be responsible for the money.
Zhao Dalang is the shopkeeper and is responsible for the internal and external affairs of Qianjin Hall. The money account is left to a dedicated person. If you need to purchase medicinal materials or collect payment, you should first enter the account and issue the bill with me, and then go to the accounting office to pay or hand over the money.
The money accounts should be separated, the income and expenditure should be clear, and in the end both parties should be in harmony."
"This courtyard was cheap when I first bought it. It was only fifty guan. At that time, the world was uncertain and His Majesty had just entered Chang'an. Houses in Chang'an were very cheap."
The fat man laughed and said, "Well said, Qianjintang, no matter what it means, it shows that we are extraordinary, so just use this as Erlang said."
Say hello to them and ask the head of the business to submit the application to the Dongshi Municipal Bureau. After the Dongshi Municipal Bureau has reviewed it, you can go find a store, either buy or rent. Anyway, the choice is not big. The pharmaceutical industry in the market is all
We must concentrate our operations in one place and cannot choose other places.
Although the fat man is only from the eighth rank, his father is the Si Nong Shaoqing from the fourth rank, his uncle is the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ying Guogong Warrior Xun, and his other uncle Shi Yina is also from the fourth rank, Yizhou Xingtai.
Zuocheng, the Minister of Finance, was the Duke of one country and two counties. The Wu family was also related by marriage to the Yang family of Hongnong.
Before the business even started, five acres of yard and two slaves were put in place immediately.
After choosing a land to sign a contract, go to the government to register and exchange the official deed, pay the management fee as required, and register the business identity. At that time, Zhao Xin will come forward to register. Anyway, he is also a city-registered businessman. Huaiyu and Fatty are not allowed to do business.
of.
"We might as well call it Qianjin Hall!" Huaiyu said.
This was the first time Huaiyu heard about this, "Is it so troublesome?" Isn't this guild somewhat like a chamber of commerce?
Compared with the neighbor Fan Xing's mansion covering an area of dozens of acres, compared with the Li Jing family's back garden with a small bridge and flowing water, the pavilion and lotus pond are definitely not comparable, and it is also not comparable to the farmhouse-style house of Samurai Leng.
I really like this yard.
Wu Junya said that he wanted to do a big business, but it was not convenient for him to come forward, so he asked him to come forward and let him be the shopkeeper. Zhao Xin was very happy to hear this. Yaren made money by making matchmaking and introductions. It was very hard work and his status was low.
The shopkeeper must be strong.
"I suggest that we should first go to the medicine bank in the East City to open a business. There are many princes, nobles, officials, and scholars around the East City. It is more suitable to sell our healing medicine there. Once the medicine store in the East City is up and running, then we can go to the West Market.
Open another one.”
Both of them said they didn't want to pay dividends, but Huaiyu would give them the wages.
There is also a middle courtyard in the middle of the front and back yards, where there are kitchens, warehouses, servant rooms, etc.
"Zhao Dalang, you go run these first." Huaiyu asked the fat man to give him ten guan of money as a pre-opening activity fund. In order to make money early, Huaiyu also decided to give him the 50 guan of public house capital and Zhang
The three hundred pieces of silk medicine money given by Chuchen were quickly exchanged for one hundred pieces and invested in as capital, which was used to buy medicinal materials, rent a shop, hire people, etc.
Although they said there was no such rule, Huaiyu felt that when doing things, benefits should be shared, so as to boost morale.
Zhao Xin is a businessman officially registered with the government.
Zhao Xin asked with a smile, "Then what name should we give our pharmacy? According to the practice of Chang'an Pharmacy, we must choose an auspicious name."
The design also highlights the central axis, on which the main door, middle door, main house and back door are set.
"The drug dealers operating in the east and west cities are generally called drug stores, usually with their own names in front, such as Song and Qing Medicine Stores, Du Family Medicine Stores, or Kang'alushan Medicine Store and Arongshi Medicine Store opened by the Sogdian Hu people.
There are also ones called Puji Pharmacy and so on.”
The north courtyard is the living courtyard, which is the backyard and is more square, with bedrooms, children's rooms, maid's rooms, etc.
This place is close to the West Market and the Imperial City. The location is better and the value will definitely increase a lot. Wu Junya just laughed and said, "Originally, I wanted to buy this yard to house the golden house to hide the beauty. It is not used now. It is also used for medicine."
It’s not a big place, so it will be convenient for Erlang to live here in Chang’an from now on.”
Although the Tang Dynasty court had market operation and management agencies such as the Bureau of Standardization and the Municipal Bureau, it was impossible for them to manage thousands of shops. Therefore, they required division of operations according to industry categories, and at the same time, they took charge of each industry and asked them to assist
Manage the guild.
After asking about the situation in detail, Xin Zhao immediately gave his own suggestions.
This is equivalent to dry stocks and job stocks. Huaiyu and Fatty are silver stocks. They are responsible for profits and losses. 80% of the profits go to them, and the remaining 20% is left to the managers, shop assistants, apprentices, etc. to share the 20%.
"Nothing like this has ever happened."
The two hundred and twenty banks in Chang'an and Chang'an are all operated by colleagues. New people who want to join must first invest in the bank. They must obtain the approval of the guild and abide by the rules of the guild. In our medicine business, we must
We first need to pay homage to the industry leaders, and then we need the approval of the majority of our peers before we can enter the market. In addition, if we want to sell patent medicines, we must first ask people from the city department to give us a valuation for our medicines, and we cannot sell fakes..."
The fat man used to hide his love, but now his wife was brought home by the eldest lady as a concubine, so it became vacant. He would occasionally come here to take a rest. There was a couple of servants left in the courtyard, "I will let them serve Erlang from now on."
Although I am a bit older, I am still good at guarding the gate and cleaning the courtyard. These are old people who have been working for many years and can be trusted."
The outer courtyard is also a side courtyard, with stables, carports, woodsheds, and even a small vegetable garden.
"Don't worry, Erlang. We are marketers and are very familiar with these things. We can get it all done in a few days. I can also reserve the tables, chairs, wooden furniture, and pharmaceutical scales we need for Qianjintang."
The grinding and mortar, as well as the sieves, pots, furnaces, etc. for processing, as well as pharmacists, clerks, apprentices, etc. can all be ordered now..." Zhao Xin's ability to do things is indeed quite good.
There are tall trees such as poplars and elms planted in the south courtyard. At this time of summer, the trees are full of shade and lush green.
Wu Junya's cheap brother-in-law was found. He is the charming brother who used to hide his beauty in the golden house here. He doesn't look too old. He is in his early thirties. He is now working as a dentist in the West Market, that is, as an intermediary.
He is very familiar with the market and knows all the rules and market conditions.
The courtyard is not too small and there are many houses, so it seems relatively compact. However, the design and functional division of the four courtyards are still very scientific.
As for rules, it is best to establish them first. Once you have the rules, you can do things according to the rules.
Fatty thought about it and thought that this was pretty good, although he thought it would be better to let Huaiyu hand over the money and accounts, "I'll take care of the money and silk first, and wait until I choose someone trustworthy.
"It's 400,000 yuan of real money. I may have to manage more money in the future. This person must be absolutely trusted."
Huaiyu manages his own accounts because he thinks accountants are more professional, while cashiers only need to consider reliability.
After the discussion, Huaiyu planned to go back to the Zhang family to pick up Runniang, then take the silk given by the Li family, and settle them together in the small courtyard of Huaiyuanfang, and then go to Cheng Chumo's house to visit and take a look.
Does he need more healing medicine, or can he help introduce some customers?
