Datang romantic little landlord

When passing by the Shushui shop, the people coming and going from Dongshi City all cast curious eyes, wondering what these tall, square and square cabinets were tightly covered with red silk.

Regular customers inquired with the shopkeeper of Shushui shop, but the shopkeeper just smiled and replied that it was a novelty made by Hu Xianzi, and we will know later.

This made people even more curious, talking and speculating with each other.

Li Wangyou made a bet with Chai Lingwu, and the drink vending machine he made was originally just to win Wang Xizhi's copybook from Chai Lingwu.

He didn't intend to promote this drink vending machine in Chang'an City, after all, he felt that this thing didn't make much money, and it was quite troublesome.

Just thinking about constantly replenishing drinks in the drink machine, Li Wangyou didn't have the idea of ​​industrializing it.Should he go to open a boiled water shop again, brew drinks every day, use saltpeter to make ice, and then replenish the vending machines?

Li Wangyou, who is wealthy, has long looked down on the profits brought by this drink vending machine.

However, his idea was laughed at by the beautiful boss.

Li Wangyou was still very unconvinced about this, and planned to have a good debate with this top student from the University of Pennsylvania Business School.

"Changqing, am I wrong? This drink is sold automatically, do you still want to treat it as a family property?"

"Hmph, let me ask you, how much does your machine cost?"

"Uh, I asked Yan Liben to ask the craftsman in charge of the supervisor to make it, about ten pieces."

"Okay, let's count it ten times. Then how much do you plan to sell for a drink? How much will it cost?" the beautiful boss asked again.

"That can still make money. The price can be adjusted in this machine, from ten to fifty yuan, and can be adjusted according to the different drinks sold. As for the profit, I asked the shopkeeper of the cooked water shop, and it can probably be [-]%."

The beverage vending machine designed by Li Wangyou can automatically dispense [-]ml of beverage at a time, which is equivalent to a bottle of mineral water in later generations.

However, beverages are definitely not cheap consumer goods in Datang.

In this era, the cheapest alcohol is about 150 Wen a bucket, which is two thousand milliliters, and the price of boiled water is slightly cheaper than cheap alcohol.

According to the conversion of one penny is almost equal to four yuan in later generations, a glass of 150ml of bad wine costs [-] yuan.

The same amount of boiled water is equivalent to 200 to [-] yuan, which is much more expensive than milk tea from milk tea shops in later generations.

As for the drink, it is more expensive. There is such a record in "Tai Ping Guang Ji": "When Chang'an was in its heyday, there was a family selling drinks in the West Market...a serving of a hundred papers...", a serving of a hundred papers, that is 400 yuan, which can be called a sky-high price.

In response to Li Wangyou's answer, the beautiful boss nodded, and continued: "It's calculated on the basis of [-] Wen a cup, and you can earn [-] Wen for a cup. One drink vending machine a day, selling [-] cups, isn't that much?"

Li Wangyou shook his head: "Not many."

"Then one machine can make a profit of two per day, and the cost can be recovered in five days, right? This summer is so long, you are afraid that you will not make a profit? What if there are a hundred vending machines? The profit can be two hundred per day. .”

What the beautiful boss said made Li Wangyou speechless, and it took him a long time to mutter and reply: "But we don't have that many people to make drinks, so how many more people do we have to hire? Isn't this also a cost? "

His words made the beautiful boss's eyes almost roll to the sky, and he gave him a disdainful look: "You are stupid..."

387 small business

"Forget about being stupid!" The beautiful boss rolled her eyes at Li Wangyou contemptuously: "Don't you know what a franchisee is?"

Li Wangyou was stunned by her words, and it took a long time before he asked: "Changqing, you mean that we authorize this drink vending machine to the Shushui shop in Chang'an City? Let them be our franchisee." business? Can this work?"

"Why not? Could it be that this drink vending machine can't attract customers?"

"It should be attractive, right? Many people will buy it even if it is an early adopter. But how do we control the sales of those Shushui shops? And this vending machine is not complicated. Can't others find craftsmen to imitate it?" Li Wangyou Scratching his head, he asked a new question.

The beautiful boss was speechless, and couldn't help stretching out her slender fingers like pale green, and tapped Li Wangyou's forehead: "Oh, why didn't I realize that you are so stupid before? Is there still time to return the product?"

Li Wangyou replied with a hippie smile: "I'm sorry, the goods are sold and cannot be returned or exchanged."

The two laughed and chattered for a while before the beautiful boss explained to him: "You forgot to make ice with saltpeter? You didn't spread the word about it, did you?"

"No, I didn't even tell Li Shimin when I asked." Li Wangyou seemed to understand the meaning of the beautiful boss: "You mean, we control the supply of ice cubes, so that franchisees choose to cooperate with us?"

"Bingo, that's it." The beautiful boss snapped her fingers very chicly: "The shopkeepers of these boiled water shops don't have the financial resources to dig out ice cellars to store ice cubes like those nobles, right? We can give them every day in midsummer." Providing ice cubes every day is the advantage. Even if they can imitate those vending machines, as long as we control the technology of making ice cubes, we are not afraid that they will not cooperate with us.”

What the beautiful boss said made Li Wangyou suddenly realize that tall, really tall, he deserves to be a top student at the University of Pennsylvania.

"We can provide beverage vending machines to those cooked water shops for free, and provide them with enough ice cubes every day. The cooked water shops are responsible for maintaining these vending machines, replenishing beverages and adding ice cubes to the vending machines."

Li Wangyou nodded, and asked again: "How will the proceeds be distributed?"

"Fifty-fifty, you ask the craftsman to modify the vending machine so that the copper coins fall into the sealed cash box. Every day we send people to unlock the lock, take out the cash box, and check the amount on the spot. The sales revenue of these vending machines, We share it with Shushuipu in half."

Naturally, Li Wangyou didn't have the slightest opinion on the words of the beautiful boss, and he agreed with both hands.After the two discussed some details of the specific operation, the matter was settled in this way.

This kind of "small business", Li Wangyou didn't plan to find Li Er as a partner, but he and his beautiful boss didn't plan to eat alone.

After all, the Li family is weak, and the beautiful boss manages the carriage dealer and underwear shop, and is already too busy.Li Wangyou didn't have so much energy to take care of the beverage vending machine industry himself, so he still chose to cooperate with others.

And the best partners are naturally the farmers in Dingzhou Village.

For one thing, the ice-making workshop is located in the village, so the confidentiality is guaranteed, and the secrets are not leaked; Worried about being betrayed and deceived by the dealers.

Moreover, most of the farmers work in the horse-drawn carriage shop in Chang'an City, and go to and from Chang'an City every day.At that time, it will be very convenient for them to go to those Shushui shops to deliver ice cubes and check money.

With so many benefits, Li Wangyou naturally chose to cooperate with the village, and would not be stingy about giving up the shares in his hand.The farmers in the village can make more money, and he and his beautiful boss are also happy to see it.

Ask Niu Wu to invite Lao Cunzheng to the mansion, demonstrate the vending machine to him, and then tell him all about his thoughts.

This made the old man very happy, and without hesitation, he accepted the matter for the farmers.

It's a good thing that the pie in the sky is falling, unless the old man's head is caught by the door, he will say no.

Not to mention, Li Wangyou is the head of 120 seven households in Dingzhou Village.Even if they don't give them money and just let the farmers do things for nothing, no one can say no to them.

Willing to distribute money to the farmers is the benevolence and righteousness of Hu County, and the old village is naturally grateful.

Li Wangyou was also very generous, directly distributing [-]% of the profits to the households in Dingzhou Village, which made the old village thank you again and again.

After everything was arranged properly, Li Wangyou went to the east city of Chang'an and contacted a cooked water shop.

The shopkeeper of the Shushui shop was also very shrewd, once he heard that Li Wangyou could supply him with ice cubes every day, he agreed without hesitation.

There is ice-cold boiled water for sale, and I don't know how much it can increase sales in this summer.And the drink vending machine is also very magical and quite convenient.

He can even hire a few less shop assistants. He only needs to boil the boiled water every day and pour it into the vending machine.

Although he wanted to give half of Huxianzi's income, the shrewd shopkeeper had a plan in mind and felt that the matter would be profitable, so naturally he would not refuse.

The cooked water shop in Dongshi became the first franchised dealer of "Wangyou Cooked Water Vending Machine".

Wangyou boiled water vending machine, Li Wangyou originally resisted the name.What a crappy name, why did Mao want to use his name to name a beverage vending machine?

However, the beauty boss insisted, and gave him an example, the "Wangyou Window" and "Wangyou Elbow" that are prevalent in Chang'an City today, to prove the brand importance of the word "Wangyou".
