Chapter 349: Dividend Distribution
Sheng Peiguang felt very happy. He spent a few days in seclusion in his yard, trying out all the ideas that he had been unable to test due to lack of money.
Then he produced a defective product, which made him even more convinced that his idea was right.
He is not very satisfied with the current results. He wants to create colorful colored glaze, but the current finished product is a bit bland. But he has been in high spirits for several days and is getting a little tired.
He immediately turned off the stove and took Hanya Chen to eat in his wife's yard.
When Master Zhan saw them coming, he looked like he was ready to have lunch, so he simply called other disciples to have lunch together.
Sheng Peiguang watched this scene in a good mood, thinking that Liaodong County was a blessed place and he really came to the right place.
Whatever materials he needs now, he just needs to give an order, and the dedicated steward in the yard will go and get it, and it won't take long for him to get what he wants.
He no longer has to worry about not having enough money to buy materials. From time to time, the master and apprentice can have dinner together to talk and laugh. There is no better life than now.
In the words of Brother Zhou, they are like a group of happy bugs falling into a rice vat. The owner of the rice vat not only did not drive them away, but also took care of all aspects of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. He even asked doctors to check their health regularly and raised them until they were white and fat. What a good person who doesn't ask for anything in return.
This good man also encourages them to make more toys to please themselves, and will even clear away the toys that they are tired of playing with to make room for them from time to time.
This lunch was made up of meals for five or six people. It was also very sumptuous. The five masters and apprentices ate their lunch happily.
When we were about to finish eating, the dedicated steward from Master Zhan’s yard came in, followed by seven or eight people, each of whom had something in their hands.
Master Zhan asked, "Manager Wang, what are you doing?"
Manager Wang smiled and said, "These were given to Master Zhan by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce."
Zhan Ruoshui was confused, gave it to him?
Everyone looked at Manager Wang, waiting for his next words.
"Everyone must know that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money this time going south. Our pills, books, papers, and foot threshing machines are selling particularly well in the south."
The five masters and apprentices of Master Zhan nodded. Yes, they knew that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce celebrated the completion of their building yesterday, and even sent them a post to invite them to a banquet.
Manager Wang continued, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce can earn so much money this time, all thanks to your efforts. Because the problem of movable type printing was solved by Master Zhan, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce decided to distribute dividends to you. Take one out of a hundred. , that’s what you get. This is the first time, and it will be settled every quarter.”
What? Does Manager Wang mean that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce wants to pay them? !
Manager Wang smiled and stretched out his hand, "Master Zhan, please take a look."
Before Zhan Ruoshui could respond, the disciples started shouting, "Master, open it quickly and see what's there?"
After they opened the ten boxes, the five masters and disciples of Master Zhan were shocked: a lot of money! ! !
The disciples exclaimed, "Master, you have become rich."
"Master, you have never had so much money in your pocket, have you?"
"Master, Liaodong County is prosperous for you."
Manager Wang waited for them to make a fuss, then pointed to the two large boxes of silver and said with a smile, "Master Zhan, here are two thousand taels of cash." Then he pointed to the remaining boxes and boxes to introduce the items inside.
Zhan Ruoshui followed his introduction and looked over one by one. He found that the things sent by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce this time were not only silver, but also other valuable things. Two 50-year-old ginseng plants and two books he had been looking for. Ancient books.
The last wooden box contains four well-packaged cubes.
They thought it was an inkstone or an ink block, but when they opened it, they found it was not.
"Isn't this the failed product that Master made a while ago? That thing called soap."
Manager Wang told them that their guess was correct, and also said, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has built a workshop and is working hard to mass-produce soap. However, because the soap is being put into production, the benefits have not yet come out, and there is no settlement for the time being. This item.”
Zhan Ruoshui nodded and understood.
"The situation in the Southland is special this time, and books are selling well there. Now that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn from the Southland, the business of books may not allocate so many dividends at once in the future. But if the water keeps flowing, there will always be money. It's divided." Manager Wang explained, so as not to make their expectations too high.
"What's the point? Master, when the soap sells well, you can split the money again." Sheng Peiguang had the most flexible mind and caught the key points at once.
Manager Wang nodded, "That's right. When the soap was put into production this time, the people above said that the workshop's production of soap is still too single. If possible, it would be better if Master Zhan spent some time to improve it."
"How to improve?" Master Zhan asked humbly, but countless thoughts were already running through his mind.
"Add something to it to make it floral, or add some milk to make it more moisturizing." This is the advice given above.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Zhan Ruoshui suddenly felt that there was hope for retirement!
Hearing this, his disciples couldn't help but cry out, "Master, if you want to be rich and noble, don't forget each other."
Before Zhan Ruoshui could express his position, Manager Wang looked at him and said with a smile, "Gong Zhou and Lu Gong, you are wrong. It should not be Master Zhan who pulls you, but you should respect Master Zhan."
Lu Mingzhi and Zhou Congguang looked at each other, "What does this mean?"
But something moved in Lu Mingzhi's heart. His second sister had always been very generous to subordinates who could do things well.
Manager Wang explained, "It means that the dividends allocated to you have been sent to your yards. As for Gong Sheng and Gong Wei, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce also gave a small gift, so please don't give it up."
In the yard of Sheng Peiguang and Wei Wenqian, only an ordinary gift was given.
The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce rewards people based on their merits. The more you work, the more you will get. This is how realistic it is.
Lu Mingzhi and Zhou Congguang were stunned, "Do we have one too?"
"Yes, didn't Gong Zhou make a foot-operated threshing machine? And Gong Lu, the snow-gloss paper and jute paper you tinkered with are also very popular in the south."
Zhou Congguang and Lu Mingzhi were delighted when they heard this, "Where are the things?"
Manager Wang: "I'll send it to your yard."
"Why are you sending them to our yard? Send them all here! Hurry up!"
Manager Wang waved his hand, and within a short while, all the things they wanted were carried to Zhan Ruoshui's yard.
Putting twenty or thirty boxes together is a bit spectacular, especially the silver, it’s so dazzling!
