Chapter 457
"Your Highness, this business should be accepted!"
Zhu Zi'an said leisurely.
"What?"
After hearing this, Zhu Biao looked surprised and suspicious.
Then, his face was full of joy and still a little unbelievable.
"Brother Zi'an, I wonder what good way you have?"
"Your Highness, you can take on these repair tasks first. As for the time to complete the repair, it is not up to you to decide! However, no matter what, the shortest time to complete the repair will take about two months, right?" Zhu Zi'an said.
"Brother Zi'an, what do you mean?"
After this period of time, Zhu Qi was no longer the third prince who was a little stunned when he left the palace.
After listening to Zhu Zi'an's words, he immediately understood what Zhu Zi'an meant, and his eyes were shining with shiny light.
“That’s right!”
Zhu Zi'an returned a savvy admiring look and continued.
"These wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a perfect silver head. A shop has prepared 100,000 taels of silver just by repairing it. Judging from so much repair costs, they probably didn't prepare either. They had to repair the shops intact and open them within one month!
Therefore, the third prince does not have to worry about the construction period of glass.
Your Highness can first take over these projects and start to arrange craftsmen to carry out the slow repair. Moreover, you only need to start following the glass windows after the repair is completed in all places.
In this way, Your Highness only needs two months to repair the main part of the shop, and then install the glass on it, and that’s enough!”
"Thank you, Brother Zi'an for your advice!"
After hearing this, Zhu Qi looked happy.
"Tomorrow, I will send people to find the wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and give these tasks to the next step!"
"Your Highness can make the decision on this matter!"
Zhu Zi'an nodded slightly, thought of something, and continued: "But there is one thing that the Tao needs to remind Your Highness!"
"Please give me advice!"
Zhu Qi quickly looked at Zhu Zi'an again.
"I wonder if Your Highness will collect the repair costs in advance or after completion?" Zhu Zi'an asked.
"Brother Hui Zi'an, of course, will collect it after the repair is completed!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qi was stunned, but he still replied quickly.
After so long he came out, all the engineering projects Zhu Qi came into contact with were either Zhu Zi'an or Zhu Yuanzhang's.
All project payments are settled only after the final renovation is completed.
Therefore, in Zhu Qi's mind, there is no concept of charging fees in advance.
Zhu Zi'an was afraid of this.
"Your Highness, Xiaodao feels that you should charge these fees in advance!"
"Brother Zi'an?"
Zhu Qi looked puzzled, "Those wealthy businessmen, they dare not owe me the repair costs!"
"Your Highness, Xiaodao is not worried that they are owing repair costs, but afraid of accidents."
Zhu Zi'an explained: "In Nanjing City, no one dares to owe you money. But if those merchants cause trouble, get scouted, or something unexpected happens, your repair costs will be in vain?
Moreover, if you charge the repair fee in advance, your highness can directly add 600,000 taels of mobile silver. At that time, your highness can not only directly purchase various repair materials, but also pay wages to the craftsmen in advance..."
"Six hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Hearing this, Zhu Qi could no longer hear what Zhu Zi'an was saying, and his eyes shone.
In my mind, there were only these 600,000 taels of silver.
You know, even if he worked hard in Nanjing City, facing the fierce sun, he had only saved 10,000 taels of silver in these few months.
Unlike now, as long as he speaks, he can get 600,000 taels of silver.
Even if you are more generous, spend 100,000 taels of silver in advance, buy various repair materials, and pay the craftsmen about 20,000 yuan in wages, you can still have more than 400,000 taels of silver left.
When Zhu Qi thought of such a big happy event, he could no longer sit still.
He quickly stood up and bowed slightly to Zhu Zi'an.
"Thank you, Brother Zi'an for your advice!"
Then, he walked out with a happy face.
...
Not long after Zhu Qi left, Zhu Biao and Zhu Qi walked in with some silence.
"Hey, second brother, what's wrong with the third brother? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
"When you go back to the Crown Prince, the Third Prince can make a fortune!"
Zhu Zi'an chuckled, not hiding it.
I just told you everything I just said.
"I didn't expect that the group of wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang would have such great thoughts!"
After listening, Zhu Biao frowned slightly and felt a little moved.
"Your Highness, this is normal. Those rich businessmen are all a group of people with only silver left. Therefore, it is understandable that they want to open several shops in Nanjing that are more popular than Yufu and Zhenyi shops!"
Zhu Zi'an still looked calm.
"If you want to surpass Yufu Yuzhenyi Store, those rich businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are a little delusional. However, it might be better if you open some rare treasure shops in the barbarian country overseas!"
"Second brother, this is really possible!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look solemn.
The rare treasure shops overseas used to occupy the market in Nanjing. Since the Shen family suffered heavy losses in Nanjing a few months ago, there have been no decent rare treasure shops in Nanjing!
"Your Highness, don't worry, even if they all open shops of rare treasures, they will definitely have a certain amount of our place when the more than 200 large ships come back!"
Zhu Zian comforted her.
And he didn't care so much about these things.
Anyway, if you want to be a real one, unless you have unique technology, you can only compete with multiple companies.
"Don't worry, second brother, I've already prepared these things!"
On the side, Zhu Biao nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, I went out for a day to investigate. I don't know what you are thinking about raising pigs?"
Zhu Zi'an continued to ask.
"Second brother, in most villages around Nanjing, there are already people starting to raise chickens and ducks on a large scale. As for raising fish, they are even more skilled!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao and Zhu Chuang on the side couldn't help but sigh.
They didn't expect that they wouldn't go out to check it everywhere.
Now, around Nanjing City, the lives of the villagers have changed so much.
The whole village began to raise fish together.
And a large majority of villagers raise chickens and ducks.
Moreover, they are all of them very well-known and can definitely make money by selling them.
Of course, what made Zhu Biao feel most comfortable was that the faces of the villagers also began to be rosy, and they were no longer as thin as a year ago!
"Second brother, I fully support the pig farming matter! If the hill behind the factory is not enough, I will beg my father again..."
Chapter completed!
