"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Xu Lingshan came over with question marks on her face.
Lin Yin felt relieved, and the party finally came.
"You were with the Devil King last night?" Old Xu asked sadly.
"Yes," Xu Lingshan nodded.
Hey, it would be misunderstood if you answered so succinctly.
"You are still a child!"
"I will soon be sixteen."
"Then you can't be with Lord Demon"
"Why can't I stay with Lord Demon?"
Hey, hey, hey, are you saying that on purpose? Are you going to completely stigmatize me as "Lolitan"? Lin Yin felt that he was going to explode.
Ten minutes later, under the crowd of melon eaters, the grandparents and grandchildren who shared the same story finally explained the misunderstanding.
"I hate it! Grandpa, what are you thinking about?" Little Shanshan ran away with her blushing face covered.
"Cough... Cough... Hehe, Lord Demon, forgive me. I will go to the government affairs office first." Old Xu smiled and walked away.
Lin Yin cursed in his heart: How could you, the culprit, have the face to slip away? How do you let the Demon King face this crowd of onlookers?
"Don't look at it. Nothing really happened. Xu Lingshan and I are innocent."
"I know, I know, alone men and women, living in the same room, nothing happened in the whole night." Peter ran to Lilia with a smile after saying that and helped her to pick up the shopping bag.
what the hell! I think you are the same kind! This bastard is very rich and handsome. I will tell Lilia about you next time! Lin Yin felt that he had been seriously hurt by the betrayal. Finally, unable to stand the hot gossip eyes of the crowd, the thirty-six stratagems escaped as the top stratagem, and the great devil flew away.
At lunchtime, the shop was almost sold out. In order to allow more people to buy things, the store had to adopt the method of limiting the quantity of each person to buy one item. Oh, yes, there are still many people buying with coins, and the shop has registered a long reservation list.
In addition to the money distributed last night, many people still use their savings to purchase.
Lin Yin was staring at the dense sales figures written on the board. Lao Xu and Liu Yuxi came to him and started financial reporting.
This morning's sales totaled more than five gold coins. Most of the materials purchased from Jesse were used as rations for the canteen and raw materials for various departments. In addition, almost all the remaining goods were sold out in the morning rush.
The selling price of the goods is 10% higher than the purchase price from the merchants, which is turned over to the Government Affairs Department as the profit of the Ministry of Commerce.
"Xiao Liu's report is very gratifying. Our Ministry of Commerce is making money. Why are you still struggling, Lao Xu?"
"You don't know, the Ministry of Commerce has made money, but you paid it out of your own pocket to the villagers. Let me figure it out for you: there are 206 people in the village, and the total weekly basic salary plus pension is 200 silver coins. When performance pay is included, it is estimated that the total cost is 300 silver coins, or 3 gold coins. In addition to the cost of raw materials to be purchased and the cost of tools to be consumed by each department and the devil's canteen, 10 gold coins will be spent every week, that is to say, the cost you need to pay every week is 13 gold coins! Although the Ministry of Commerce has made money, only 10% of the commodity profit is about 50 silver coins. In this way, your weekly net loss is 12 gold coins and a half! "
"Oh, it's only 12.5 gold coins. It's OK."
"It's not good at all! Although you are generous, Lord Demon, you have given us 1000 gold coins, but 12 and a half gold coins a week, which will not last for two years."
"To be exact, it is 80 weeks. 1000 divided by 12.5 can be divided exactly." Lin Yin kindly taught Lao Xu how to divide.
“……”
"Lord Demon, do you know what I'm talking about? Pay attention to increasing income and reducing expenditure!" Old Xu looked at the black sheep's expression, and almost didn't turn into an old lady.
"I know, cost accounting. I know this knowledge at her age."
Lin Yin patted Lao Xu on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down beside him, and pulled Liu Yuxi, who was tied up in arms and feet, to sit down together.
"Old Xu, I know you are doing my best. No amount of money can be wasted. You want to say that, right? Is that what you think, Xiao Liu?"
The old and young people looked at each other and nodded together.
"I understand that, but you are wrong, Lao Xu."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Old Xu looked confused and hurriedly opened his account book to recheck the figures.
"Don't look, the number is right, but the algorithm is wrong."
"You only see the present, not the future! Investment is different from consumption. Every penny I invest will be returned in the future!"
Lao Xu's expression was "You are bragging that I don't believe you", while Liu Yuxi was skeptical.
"If you don't believe me, I'll show you. First of all, according to what you just calculated, I spent 10 gold coins on raw materials and tools procurement, and 3 gold coins on labor costs. In other words, my 13 gold coins are all investments! What is my future return on investment?"
"The first is the Ministry of Agriculture. Although it is still losing money, it will earn money in the future. Wheat is money, eggs laid by hens are money, and milk from cows is money. There is a large area of empty land in the valley and a large area of mountains on both sides. Which won't make money? You are an old village head, don't you think?"
"But farming doesn't make money. When we were in a good year, there was little left to deduct rations and miscellaneous taxes paid to the lord." Old Xu retorted.
"No, you also said to deduct miscellaneous taxes! Do we have taxes here? All income belongs to the government affairs department! One hundred percent of the net income! There are rations, and the harvested grain can be used as rations. Will the grain purchased from merchants be less in the future? This is also income!"
"This......" Old Xu hesitated.
"Although the Devil's Canteen is now free of charge for three meals a day, we only provide simple meals, and the main food is full. In the future, everyone will have more money, so who doesn't want to add more food? All kinds of meat, eggs and fruits will be sold in the canteen, and the wine made by our village will also be put on the table. Don't you pay for it?"
"Tut tut......" Xiao Liu has drooled beside him.
"There is also the Ministry of Construction. Now building houses and roads are free. These are necessary investments to retain people. But when the houses are built, they can also make money. They can sell furniture and provide paid fine house decoration. When everyone is rich, who doesn't want to live in a better house?"
"But what about the Logistics Department and the Security Department? They can't make money, can they? And you said that these things were sold to the villagers, and the villagers' money was distributed by you. Isn't that still no money?" Old Xu caught Lin Yin's pain.
Old Xu is still too young, and his theory still stays in the era of small-scale peasant economy.
Lin Yin thought of the 40 year history of economic growth that he had experienced personally in his previous life, and could not help sighing: "Lao Xu, developing foreign trade and stimulating domestic demand are two legs of economic development!"
