Six hundred and seventieth chapters complement each other
Zhen Mi looked at the tabular accounts in her hand in surprise, and her heart was filled with waves.
Although she is young, she has many years of business experience, and her sensitivity to accounts and figures is naturally far beyond ordinary people.
Zhen Mi is naturally familiar with the journal accounting method, and she is more or less aware of its drawbacks during the years she has been in charge of the family business.
Nowadays, the accounting method developed by potters seems to be just a different form, which can clearly record the number of horses. However, this is only the benefit reflected in this method of counting horses. If it is moved to other methods,
In terms of accounts, the benefits are far beyond this trivial matter.
The most important thing in doing business is the five words "purchase, sales, withdrawal, and storage." In ancient business, the word "return" may not be used in business practices, but purchase, sale, and inventory, including damage, consumption, waste, etc., are still there, and
In a system without system management, all of this must be managed and processed by humans.
The biggest problem with this mechanism is greed and loss.
Household slaves employed by merchants in ancient times needed to borrow money and things from their masters when they had something to do or needed at home. If they couldn't borrow the money, they would steal it.
With the accounting method of running accounts, when the calculation is not accurate, it is inevitable to lose money, goods and things. However, people's energy is limited. If you want to carefully investigate and invest in financial and material resources, it is really huge, far less than what is lost.
There are many things, so the gains outweigh the losses.
For such a large business, the Zhen family's losses in this area alone are huge every year.
But now if this accounting method is promoted and implemented in commercial banks...
A happy smile appeared on the corner of Zhen Mi's mouth: "If you use this method, you can clearly see where there is a surplus, where there is a loss, and who has passed through it, and there will be no shortcomings or omissions."
Seeing Zhen Mi's quick reaction, Tao Shang said: "There must still be some shortcomings and omissions. It is said that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Between those who manage people and those who are managed, there is always a process similar to evolution going on.
In the struggle, your level has improved, and your opponent's level will gradually improve under your leadership, but at least at this stage, you should be the winner..."
Zhen Mi looked at the pottery merchant in surprise, shook her head and said, "I don't understand what you are saying..."
"Just don't understand."
Zhen Mi didn't understand the mystery of Ziwu Maoyou in Tao Shang's words, and she didn't want to understand. She just happily played with the novel accounting method that Tao Shang gave him, with an excited look on her face.
"Mr. Tao...can you teach me this in detail?" Zhen Mi said slightly anxiously.
In fact, she was not sure whether the pottery merchant would teach her the core of this bookkeeping method. After all, rare things can be lived in. These days, the master who taught his apprentices to starve to death, even if he is a gentleman, there is no one in the world who is truly so selfless.
"Of course." The pottery merchant said with a smile: "I gave it to you because I hope you can learn it and then show me your Zhen family's livestock accounts in this way... Your family's original accounts are really disappointing.
It’s such a headache.”
Zhen Mi did not expect that the pottery merchant would agree so readily. While she was happy, she was also slightly worried.
"Don't Mr. Tao have any requirements?"
The potter thought carefully for a while and then began to look Zhen Mi up and down.
Zhen Mi suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
"Are you asking for it? I have one." The pottery merchant said slowly.
Zhen Mi bit her lip tightly and whispered: "You said..."
"No matter how big or small the horse-purchasing business between you and the Huns is, I will make a 30% profit."
Zhen Mi was stunned when she heard this.
I really didn't expect that he would actually make such a request.
Judging from the way he looked at her just now, she thought that what he wanted... was...
But right now this request is really too much!
Zhen Mi took a deep breath, regained the feeling and posture of a businessman, shook her head and said: "Thirty percent profit, that's too much. How can my Zhen family's business be small? This 30% profit is enough to support a small family.
year’s expenses.”
"How much percentage does Miss Zhen plan to give me?"
"At most 10%!"
"make a deal."
The potter simply put his foot down with Zhen Mi.
When Zhen Mi saw the potter agreeing so readily, she was immediately a little confused.
This is not a normal businessman's routine. Why did you agree so arbitrarily without bargaining at all?
Zhen Mi frowned, and after thinking carefully for a while, she realized that she seemed to have been deceived.
Why should I give 10% profit to someone who doesn’t even invest a single five baht?
Isn't this pure prodigal?
But he still said the words himself, and there was no way he could take them back.
Thinking of this, Zhen Mi gave the potter a resentful look and said, "Mr. Tao..."
"What's wrong?"
"You tricked me..."
The pottery merchant smiled slightly: "How can it be considered a trap? Miss Zhen is a businessman, so you might as well calculate this account carefully. You have learned my bookkeeping and debiting method. In the future, you will manage your people and business, and you will save money every year."
I’m afraid the remaining expenses are far from what this 10% money can cover, right?”
After the pottery merchant mentioned this, Zhen Mi said thoughtfully: "That's true."
That day, the two of them burned the midnight oil and worked together. The pottery merchant taught Zhen Mi how to keep accounts while working together to sort out the messy accounts.
At this moment, the sun had set and it was getting close to night, but the work in hand was still unfinished by the potter and Zhen Mi. The servants lit oil lamps for them and asked the two of them to fight at night.
The men and women work together, and the work is not tiring. Both of them seem to have forgotten their fatigue, but they even forgot to eat dinner.
During this period, Xu Chu wanted to come over and invite the pottery merchant to have something to eat, but when he walked to the door of the hall and saw the pottery merchant and Zhen Mi lying on the table, studying seriously, he finally swallowed his words.
Xu Chu looked at the man and woman together in the room, shook his huge head and sighed.
"Okay! I hooked up with another one! I don't know if all the beautiful little ladies in the world are blind or something, but they all fell in love with him."
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked away, just guarding a place not far from the study.
"It's done!"
It wasn't until the end of Xu Shi that the work of the two of them was declared over.
Zhen Mi stretched for a long time and sighed happily: "I'm finally done... I'm so tired..."
When he turned around, he saw the pottery merchant looking at him with sideways eyes and a half-smile.
Zhen Mi's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly lowered her arms.
I was relaxed for a moment, but my appearance was revealed in front of outsiders.
"What's wrong?" The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows in confusion and said, "It's just a stretch. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Zhen Mi stretched out her hand to tuck her temples and said, "Hey, don't talk about that... It's so late. Mr. Tao will go and get you some food later."
After saying that, she hurriedly got up and hurried away.
The potter looked at her back, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Then, he took over the compiled accounts and studied them carefully.
After looking at it for a while, the potter couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The Zhen family is indeed very wealthy. They have so many livestock in Qingzhou alone. It would be ridiculous to call such a strong businessman as rich as the country, but if it is called as rich as the state, it is definitely not true.
There is still some degree.
etc!
Rich as a state?
Something suddenly occurred to the potter's mind, and his face became slightly gloomy.
