Chapter 194 Year-end Summary
At the end of the year, after more than 20 days of growth, the thirty or so hawthorn trees in the space produced 10,000 kilograms of fruit for the first time. The spiritual spring watering was indeed powerful, shortening the growth time by two times.
Moreover, the fruits are large, like ping-pong balls, and taste sweet and sour. It seems that their genes have changed.
Hou Xiaoge sold them to the villagers at a high price of one thousand dollars, using the excuse that the imported fruits were of good quality, and explained that they would only be sold twice at most in February of the lunar calendar, and that would be it.
Moreover, this batch of goods is of good quality and high price and needs to be sold separately. Hou Xiaoge suggested doubling the price.
Otherwise, if the products are sold at the original price, the village will hardly make any money.
As expected, once the gimmick of imported hawthorn snowballs came out, coupled with the fact that the quality was indeed good, hawthorn snowballs, which were retailed for one dollar per pound, immediately became popular among the wealthy class.
Three thousand kilograms were sold in just two days. The workers in the workshop who were making hawthorn snowballs worked late into the night and were almost exhausted to death.
The profit is indeed considerable, but the risk of long-term supply is also high, so Hou Xiaoge will only sell two batches at most. If someone asks, he will push it to Zhou Debiao, the leader of the Yanhuang League.
As for the fruit trees in the space, Hou Xiaoge plans to dig up the trees and plant them in his own land after they bear fruit twice. The space is still mainly used to grow medicinal herbs, food, and fast-growing plants. After all, it is not cost-effective to use precious spiritual springs to irrigate fruit trees.
Hou Xiaoge has been very busy recently. He has not taken care of the New Year purchases for his family and has been staying in the Yanhuang League.
After all, the Chinese people take a rest at the end of the year, and even the Japanese have been much quieter recently. After all, the Japanese are also the descendants of the Chinese and they also celebrate the New Year.
Hou Xiaoge set up the Yanhuang League as a hobby in the beginning, just to make it easier to get supplies for his family.
But unexpectedly, the business grew bigger and bigger. As it developed, Hou Xiaoge gradually developed a clear plan for the future.
During this period of time, in addition to providing incidental assistance to its own family and village, the Yanhuang League has also become a large organization spanning Qin, Henan, Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan, and Kang.
As for Hou Xiaoge’s Xinjiang development plan, the roads are blocked in winter, so it is better to put it on hold and start in full swing in April or May.
"Wenjun, please report the current situation in the alliance!" In the office, Hou Xiaoge was asking about this year's total bill.
Naturally, this bill can only be known to the finance department and the boss, and it cannot be discussed at the meeting.
"Alliance leader, the Yanhuang Alliance now has a total of 8,653 formal disciples, of which 4,000 are from the Battle Hall, and the remaining 4,000 belong to the other seven halls.
There are now 5,342 children aged six to thirteen in Yuying Hall, and 453 children aged three to six.
As for the outer disciples, since they can withdraw from the alliance at any time, it is difficult to count the number of people, but the total number of the six provinces is at least more than 30,000. "Wen Jun picked up the document handed over by the Personnel Hall and reported.
"Not bad, not bad, it's starting to look like a big gang now." Hou Xiaoge nodded with satisfaction.
"Well! Right now, only the Pao Brothers Society around Qin Province has more people than us, but they are not united internally and are scattered.
The remaining local gangs, the Qinghong Gang from the coastal areas, the Axe Gang, and the Small Knife Society, do not have as many disciples as we do now.
You are the only one who can create such a big gang in just four or five months." Wen Jun also flattered him with a smile.
"Quality is more important than quantity. You need to digest the rest of your life well. You can't be like Pao Ge, who will be scattered by the wind or rain.
Okay, let's report on the alliance's current assets! I hope the numbers aren't too bad." Hou Xiaoge shook his head and let Wenjun continue.
"Well! The alliance now owns 15 properties, which are all headquarters and warehouses of various halls. It is safer to buy these places. (Hou Xiaoge does not allow the purchase of fixed properties)
The property is worth 50,000 oceans, and the assets of other halls add up to 1.6 million oceans. The Gold and Silver Hall has the most, with assets of 1.13 million oceans.
This year, the total amount of funds and materials you have invested in the alliance is worth 700,000 oceans. Now the headquarters still has 130,000 oceans of liquid funds and a month's supply reserve, worth 150,000 oceans. "Wen Jun said happily.
"Very good, it seems that the gang is on the right track! I have been spending money for the past few months and it has been very stressful for me." Hou Xiaoge also smiled happily.
"Alliance leader, you won't have to subsidize me from now on.
Starting from this month, Jinyintang and Zhantang no longer need subsidies from the headquarters to pay salaries.
Last month, Zhan Tang collected more than 20,000 yuan in protection fees. In addition to their wages, they still had a surplus of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.
I also looked at the accounts of Jinyintang. After all the payments were made at the end of the year, there was still a huge amount of 600,000 oceans left.
If you hadn't told us to let Jinyintang develop for a few more months, I would have asked them to hand it all over." Wenjun said with a smile on his face.
"Very good, very good, there is great potential!" Hou Xiaoge laughed after hearing this.
"Well! In the next few months, the headquarters only needs to subsidize the other gangs with a monthly salary of five to six thousand dollars.
By May, according to the proportion you set, the monthly contributions from the Gold and Silver Hall and the War Hall will be deducted from the expenses of the alliance, and there will be a lot of money left to repay you, the leader of the alliance." Wen Jun said with a smile.
"Girl, why do you always think about paying us back?" Hou Xiaoge pointed at Wenjun and smiled.
"Alliance leader, you have helped so many people, we can't let you suffer losses all the time. Last time I heard that your family business lost a lot, I was quite worried." Wen Jun said in a low voice with a red face.
"Okay! I know what you're thinking. Just do your best for me." Hou Xiaoge changed the subject.
"Wenjun, the disciples' salaries must be paid by someone sent by the headquarters, and don't let the various halls decide on their own.
Later, when the gang is formalized, I hope you will be the head of the newly established Finance Hall and take charge of things on your own, instead of always serving me as a clerk, understand?" Hou Xiaoge looked at Wen Jun who was bowing his head and said seriously.
"Alliance leader, I will definitely keep an eye on the purse for you and the Yanhuang Alliance." Wen Jun nodded with a red face.
After Wenjun left, Hou Xiaoge called Tieli from the war hall in.
"Master Tie, have the New Year gifts been distributed to the brothers?" Hou Xiaoge asked with a smile.
"Alliance leader, each person gets five kilograms of flour and two kilograms of fat meat. This kind of treatment is hard to find anywhere else.
The brothers are very grateful to you and told me that they want you to go and see them." Tieli looked at Hou Xiaoge with excitement.
Seeing Tieli, who was much stronger than a few months ago and still very respectful to him, Hou Xiaoge nodded with satisfaction.
"Tomorrow is the 29th day of the lunar year. I will go to your hall at noon and we will have dumplings together." Hou Xiaoge still attaches great importance to the armed forces.
"That's great. I'll arrange it when I get back." Tieli nodded excitedly.
"My friend, we brothers have been practicing for a few months now, right? How is the practice going?" Hou Xiaoge asked, changing the subject.
