…
Improvement direction: develop mixed fishing operations with multiple fishing gears
…
Goals for this year:
Net profit target: 1000 dry gold
Spirit fish goal: 1,000 pounds
This is the simple dashboard of the fishing brigade, which records the financial data before Wang Shouzhe took office, as well as the direction for improvement and this year's profit target.
According to Wang Shouzhe's estimation, this goal is easy to achieve. After all, it is now the peak season, and there is a shortage of food due to insect pests this year. As a partial substitute for the staple food, the price of fish will inevitably rise.
For the two industries of fishing brigade and fish stalls, Wang Shouzhe's total profit target is 2,000 dry gold.
However, the only problem is that after the fishing brigade increases the catch, it is very likely to gradually destroy the ecological balance, although it will not be a big problem within a few years.
However, this is not a long-term solution after all.
For a Xuanwu family, long-term and stable sources of income are the real pillar industry. Short-term huge profits can only be used as a supplement to the family industry.
An industry like [Fenggu Farm] is a real century-old foundation, and it can even continuously provide resources to a Xuanwu family for hundreds of years.
this point is very important.
There is no shortage of huge profits in the Xuanwu world. You may be lucky enough to pick up a treasure, or you may encounter the legacy of a certain senior, or you may encounter two high-level ferocious beasts that die together, and other miracles. These will make you violent overnight. rich.
But what happens after you become rich? No matter how much resources you have, they will be exhausted. Only the foundation can last forever.
Take Wang Shouzhe himself as an example. He is now eighteen years old and at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm. He currently consumes nearly 200 dry gold per year. According to family estimates, it only takes about twenty years for him to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm. At that time, he was only thirty-eight years old, and he was in his prime.
Even if the resources of 200 dry gold remain unchanged, 4000 dry gold will still be consumed in twenty years.
Of course, it is impossible to remain unchanged. When he reaches the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, the resources consumed every year will increase rapidly. At his current level, he will have to consume at least 8,000 Qian to reach the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm. Resources above gold.
Where do these resources come from? They are squeezed out bit by bit from the annual output of the family's major industries. Those family assets that can continuously produce benefits for a long time are the real family businesses.
It is also precisely for this reason that given the current situation of the Wang family, there is no power to cultivate a second Wang Shouzhe. Otherwise, even if the qualifications are slightly inferior, as long as they are willing to invest resources, they can still create a young master.
In fact, if Wang Shouzhe was doubled or tripled, regardless of the cost of resource investment, it would not take him twenty years to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. It might only take fifteen years, or even ten years or less.
This is why it is difficult for casual cultivators to achieve success. Casual cultivators have no roots or traces. Maybe they are lucky enough to get a lot of resources, but if they are not lucky, they may even go hungry.
The casual cultivators who can reach the Lingtai realm either have extraordinary qualifications and good luck, or they have extreme luck.
Therefore, although Wang Shouzhe's resources of more than 10,000 gold seem to be a lot, it is only the total expenditure for several years under the current tight situation of the family. If there is no planning, at most the Wang family will burn a fortune. Fire, but lacked stamina.
Wang Shouzhe's mind was racing as he looked at the "simple system panel" he had made. How to spend money wisely was something he had been thinking about in the past few days.
What does the family lack most nowadays? Of course, it lacks a powerful person in the Lingtai realm. In this way, he can take the place of the ancestor Longyan and become the family's protective umbrella for a long time. After all, the injury of the ancestor Longyan has never recovered, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
But are more than 10,000 dry gold resources enough to support a Lingtai realm? Of course, it is far from possible. If the powerful Lingtai realm was so cheap, the problem would have been easily solved with the overall financial resources of the Ping An Wang family.
In fact, all Lingtai-level ancestors of the Xuanwu family will be overrun. Therefore, this option can be crossed out and does not need to be considered.
All this money will be used to develop family property...
Wang Shouzhe has also pondered this question carefully, but how many ethnic properties can be developed with more than 10,000 dry gold? You must know that some industries called pillar ethnic industries are characterized by their large scale, long development cycle, and comparative input-output. Known for being low.
Just like the Wang family's Fenggu Farm, how much effort and capital have been invested by the predecessors? But how much profit does it normally make every year? If the year is better, a net profit of seven to eight hundred thousand gold is already good.
In the long run, it is inevitable to increase investment in pillar industries. However, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness, so Wang Shouzhe has temporarily drawn a circle on this idea and will wait and see.
Or, purchase a large amount of cultivation resources to supply yourself and clan members with potential?
Wang Shouzhe has naturally considered this.
But there is still an increasingly tight marginal effect. If you let Wang Shouzhe take [Xiao Pei Yuan Dan] every day, can he cultivate to the Lingtai realm after taking it for several years?
Obviously not... let alone the Lingtai realm, even the ninth level of the Qi refining realm is not guaranteed.
Even if he can waste resources ruthlessly and reach the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm in just a few years, so what? Can he solve the fundamental problem of family survival?
Even the young man with the best qualifications in the family like him can't do it, let alone the other clan members?
The sixth grandfather, Wang Xiaohan, once failed to reach the Lingtai realm. Although his condition has declined with age, he is only at the ninth level of the Qi refining realm, but he is not at the peak of the past. If he is given sufficient resources and confidence, it will be Having the opportunity to return to the peak of Qi refining and attack the Lingtai realm again is the fastest way Wang Shouzhe can think of to add a Lingtai realm ancestor to his family.
But this amount of resources is still far insufficient compared with the resources to attack the Lingtai realm. What's more, the mental and physical state of the sixth grandfather Wang Xiaohan cannot be adjusted to a state that can impact the Lingtai realm overnight. Do it.
Wang Shouzhe thought about it, and if he could use the money to find a way to heal Longyan's ancestor's injuries and extend his life, it would be the most urgent thing.
But it is very obvious that it is absolutely impossible to completely cure Longyan Ancestor with just this money. If she could be cured by spending more than 10,000 gold, the family would have done so by selling the pot.
Therefore, even if she can be cured, the cost of curing her must be far more than the cost of supporting one or more powerful people in the Lingtai realm.
Maybe a large sum of money would be invested to alleviate her injuries and extend her life.
Let's put it on the list of backup options first, Wang Shouzhe frowned and thought about it.
I really envy those time-travelers who have a real golden finger system. All difficulties can be solved by golden fingers. All they have to do is laugh and have fun all day long, and they can stop people from killing Buddhas and kill Buddhas. They can spend as much as they want.
It's not like him. He has a little money and still has to think carefully about using it on the edge. From the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm to the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, at a certain stage in such a small realm, you have to It took him several months to slowly practice and polish. This is because he has relatively abundant resources and is much faster than others.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that this world is quite real, and the road to becoming a strong person always needs to be walked step by step.
While he was thinking wildly, his aunt Gongsun Hui sent his maid Xia He to come, saying that the ancestor Longyan had summoned him to meet him.
Summoned by Longyan Ancestor?
Wang Shouzhe was stunned and immediately mentioned Jing Qi Shen. In recent years, the ancestor often went into seclusion and rarely summoned the family members. She did not even show up at Wang Dingyue's funeral, which showed that her physical condition was not very good.
Even Wang Shouzhe, the most favored among the seventh generation, has not seen his ancestor for more than a year. On weekdays, aunt Gongsun Hui takes care of his ancestor.
"Thank you, Miss Xia He." Wang Shouzhe was quite polite to Xia He.
Xia He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Master, you're welcome. If you don't have anything important to do, please let me go see my ancestor."
She is Gongsun Hui's sidekick. She has been trained since she was nine years old and is now nineteen years old. Although she has no cultivation qualifications, she is quite smart, literate and proficient in Jiuzhang arithmetic.
She helped calculate and summarize many of Auntie’s accounts.
Later.
Wang Shouzhe followed Xia He all the way to the side courtyard. The side courtyard where the Longyan ancestor lived in seclusion was relatively close to Zhuwei Lake. In a short time, Wang Shouzhe arrived at the side courtyard named [Longyan Residence].
In order to prevent disturbing the Qing Dynasty of the Longyan ancestor, the area around this area is a family forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter without the ancestor's summons.
Gongsun Hui was already waiting at the door of Longyanju. After the two met, she said in a clear voice: "Ancestor, Shouzhe is already here."
"Shouzhe, come in."
A calm voice sounded softly at the door.
"Yes, Ancestor." Wang Shouzhe took a deep breath, calmed down a little, opened the door and stepped into Longyan Residence.
This is a simple courtyard with simple decoration and no luxury. In the courtyard, some ordinary flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere are simply planted, swaying slightly with the breeze.
In the pavilion, a thin woman stood leaning on the railing and looking at the garden scenery. Her back was to Wang Shouzhe, and her long white hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
When Wang Shouzhe saw this long snow-white hair, his heart ached inexplicably. It was a profound memory from his previous life. When Wang Shouzhe was young, he clearly remembered that Longyan Patriarch's hair was only half white.
It has only been a short period of ten years, and it has already completely faded away.
Wang Shouzhe's throat was slightly choked, so he stepped forward and saluted: "Shouzhe pays homage to the ancestor."
