Chapter 574: family assets.
John returned to the manor worriedly, then went to the balcony and sat there drinking wine alone without saying a word, looking at a huge pasture in front of the castle.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him coming back and sitting alone on the balcony, Su Xiaoxiao thoughtfully massaged his shoulders with both hands.
"Because of some things, it's a little annoying~" John reached out and took her little hand.
"Can you tell me?" Su Xiaoxiao asked softly behind her.
"Well~ I'll take care of the business matters~" John obviously didn't want to talk about it.
"Well~ I believe you~"
It was not long before evening came.
Almost all the people in the manor returned to the manor castle.
In the meantime, John still told these family members some interesting stories about the day, and asked them how their day's work was.
This afternoon, Jenny, who was on a mission with the detective team, also came back. Her noisy personality made the atmosphere of the whole family quite harmonious.
After eating, John walked into the meeting room first.
The core members of the family also walked into the room.
John first asked about the profit production situation of his own industry.
Kenny is fully prepared for this.
"Sir~ Not counting our gray industries. We have two taverns, one weapon store, one pharmacy, one restaurant, and a clothing store and a jewelry store that Ms. Anna proposed to acquire. The profits of these six stores this month For: $1,732 for two taverns, $243 for a drug store, $254 for a restaurant, $441 for a weapons store, and $196 for a clothing store and jewellery. Three hundred and thirty-seven dollars from the shop."
"The total income of the seven stores is: 3,203 US dollars. However, the bootleg liquor in the tavern does not cost any money, and 70% of the weapons in the weapon store are purchased by our detective agency. Excluding these costs, the actual profit is only 2,600 US dollars." Seventy dollars."
John and the others did not speak and waited for Kenny to continue speaking.
"And we have two tobacco factories, two timber factories, and two food processing factories. Among them, the food processing factories mainly process sausage and canned food, and the canned food is divided into fruit and meat.
The income of the tobacco factory is very good. The monthly average income of the tobacco factory is 2,100 US dollars. By the way, John, your design of violet cigarettes is very popular among the ladies.
And the business of the timber factory is being negotiated. After the negotiation is successful, there will be a monthly income of 650 US dollars.
The food processing factory has benefited from the recent surge in the population of Heishui Town, and there are also good orders from outer cities, and it also has a monthly income of nearly 870 US dollars.
The monthly factory profit is 4,620 US dollars, of which 4,100 US dollars is taken as a relatively stable figure.
In addition, we also have the largest newspaper office in Heishui Town, but the monthly profit is shortfall. But the shortfall is not that big, only two hundred and seventy dollars.
Due to the cooperation between the detective agency and the police department and its recent expansion, the detective agency is still in a deficit, but the amount of deficit is gradually decreasing, only 700 to 1,000 US dollars per month.
】
And the invention company you opened in the past few months, in addition to the one thousand dollars invested, there is also a salary of four hundred and seventy-five dollars per month. The total loss was $1,475 per month.
A large part of the pasture has been cultivated, but there is still no way to make a profit, and because of the surplus of workers, and you are unwilling to lay off employees, so the monthly loss is the biggest, and the wages and food are 2,770 yuan per month. Three dollars. "
Having said that, Kenny continued to turn to the next page and continued.
"There are also the maintenance of the manor, workers' wages, food consumption, and some odds and ends of living supplies. The average monthly value is six hundred and fifty dollars."
Hearing this, John was puzzled and then asked, "The consumption in the manor is so high?"
Kenny nodded calmly, "That's right, the food and clothing in the manor are rare here."
John thought about the fruits that are difficult to find in other places in the manor~ and those special ingredients, so he nodded and said, "Yes~you continue~"
"There are also monthly remunerations for various political figures in Blackwater Town, 3,600 US dollars, plus Mr. Kane's monthly fixed operating expenses of 1,800 US dollars, plus a monthly return to the bank. Four hundred and four hundred dollars in principal and interest, we will lose six thousand five hundred and seventy-eight dollars every month." Kenny said.
"What about our gray profession?" John asked.
"The monthly sales volume of bootleg wine led by thieves is 13,000 U.S. dollars. After deducting costs and wages, the net profit of the family is 8,500 U.S. dollars, and the net profit of smuggled furs is 1,700 U.S. dollars per month. .So, we have more than 3,600 dollars in income every month." After speaking, Kenny added.
"Oh~ By the way, I haven't counted the sales in Rhodes Town yet, because the account books there haven't been delivered this month. However, based on the profit of the previous month, although there is a lot of sales there, the profit is not high .It’s only 3,300 US dollars a month, and we sold a large part of the profits to those dumpers.”
"That is to say, the family can earn seven thousand dollars a month." John nodded and asked.
"If all business is so smooth, yes. But if there are fluctuations, then the real figure is actually around five thousand dollars." Kenny estimated casually.
"Just as the business can't support our business." John lay down on the sofa after thinking about the numbers Kenny reported.
"John~ In fact, if the ranch and the detective agency only need to make ends meet, we can earn thousands of dollars every month through legitimate business." Kane estimated the proportion of his own business loss.
"Isn't this still unbalanced, and the monthly profit of the bootlegging business is so huge, I can't give it up. Those crazy people are really annoying." John took out a cigarette in the meeting room and started smoking.
"By the way, let's get to know one of our latest troubles." John smoked a cigarette and reached out to motion for Kenny to take out the file.
Kane then took over and passed the documents to the others.
In fact, there are not many members of the family, including John, there are only six people.
"Anti-tavern alliance?" Lambert asked John with a frown after looking through it carefully.
"They want to stop our bootlegging business?"
"Obviously ~ their goal is no more clear than this time." John nodded.
"The tavern has also been harassed by these people in the past few days. Walk into the tavern to explain the harm of alcohol to our guests." Anna also put away the information after reading it.
"Is there any influence?" John asked casually.
"The tavern staff will ask them out of the tavern as soon as they find them, but they will explain to everyone who wants to come in for a drink at the door of the tavern. I have people expelled a few times." Anna said what happened in the tavern recently ~www.NovelMTL.com~ This kind of situation will increase with time, really~" John sighed helplessly, and then said, "Go to Zuo En tomorrow and ask him to find famous gangsters and take these crazy guys Get out, can't let these psychos get in the way of our business. "
"Well~ I'll find someone to arrange it tomorrow." Anna nodded.
"I'm going to contact the congressmen we have made friends with in the past few days to see their attitudes. See which congressmen have great interest and proposals for alcohol prohibition, and prevent them from proposing targeted policies." Kane thought He expressed his thoughts for a while.
"Well~ I will talk to Mr. Edwin tomorrow and have lunch at his place, and then I will go to see Baylor and maybe have dinner at his place. See how these guys treat this organization. After making sure We will look at their attitude and deal with it later," John responded.
After roughly talking about the Temperance League, John asked again if their subordinates had encountered any difficulties.
After the chat, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone walked out of the meeting room one after another.
