Chapter 557

"Very good!"

Jia Hui nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

Now, with a daily circulation of fifty thousand copies, after deducting all labor costs and expenses,

Jia Hui had an average revenue of 1.5 wen per copy, for a total of 75,000 wen.

Approximately 75 taels of silver!

Plus advertising fees, it was actually close to eighty taels of silver?

This surprised Jia Hui a little.

Originally, he thought

the newspaper itself shouldn't be able to make much profit.

But he didn't expect

that it was actually making money.

More than the advertising fees?

Jia Hui thought about it; the reason was probably that his newspaper was still in a monopoly position.

With higher sales, the revenue was naturally higher.

But unless sales continued to rise, the profit would basically be stuck at this stage.

And commercial advertising fees had just started, so the profit wasn't high enough yet, but as time passed, after discovering that advertising in the newspaper achieved good results, more and more people would definitely place advertisements, and the advertising price revenue would naturally rise steadily.

Therefore, there was still a lot of room for improvement in advertising revenue.

In general,

if there was a revenue of about 80 taels a day now,

for Jia Hui, who was making a fortune every day, with the Wushuang Boutique alone making hundreds of thousands,

it was certainly not worth mentioning.

But this income, looking at other businesses,

was already very good.

A full 2,400 taels of net income a month!

A year was 28,800!

And there was a very good hope of breaking thirty thousand taels in the future!

"Thinking about it now, it's really scary; the eight estates of the Rongguo Prefecture next door only have this figure, with a good harvest of thirty or forty thousand taels, and in bad years, only twenty thousand taels, and my newspaper still has a lot of room for improvement!"

"And this is just the Divine Capital; in the future, it will be opened in all major cities across the country."

Thinking about it this way, Jia Hui's newspaper was truly profitable!

The newspaper alone could support most of the expenses of the Marquis of Wushuang's mansion.

Yan Jun also knew this and said to Jia Hui: "Currently, we have started sending people, taking the money earned in these few days, to Jin Ling to establish a branch. And we have cooperated with the post stations to let them send our newspapers to other cities, but relying on post station transportation, the cost increases quite a bit, and the profit will be much less."

Jia Hui said: "Since that's the case, let's just establish our own post stations in many places, let's call it Great Dry Shunfeng; in the future, we will invest and establish Shunfeng ourselves, transporting newspapers, and we can also take other letters and items from the people."

The place of post stations had existed since the pre-Qin period and was perfected during the Qin and Han dynasties.

And there were also private ones.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there were "Private Letter Bureaus" pioneered by Ningbo merchants.

Private Letter Bureaus were profit-making institutions operated by private individuals, with businesses including delivering letters, items, and handling remittances.

This business was promising.

After all, haven't you seen how many express delivery companies in modern times are making a fortune!

And the market was broad, even if there were already businesses in this area among the people.

Jia Hui wasn't afraid.

He believed that with good management, it would definitely grow.

By then, establishing thousands of agency sites nationwide!

It would also make a fortune every day!

Jia Hui: "I'll allocate another fifty thousand taels to you as initial investment capital; establish them in all major cities first!"

Fifty thousand taels was not a small amount.

If the average price of buying a courtyard was five hundred taels,

you could buy 100 courtyards nationwide!

These were all fixed assets.

Investing in them, he wasn't afraid of losing money!

Jia Xu, Chen Gong, and the others all had bright eyes: "This move is great; not only can it be profitable, but it also helps our high-speed, secret contact of intelligence in various places!"

They didn't care much about how much money they made.

They were more concerned that this would help strengthen their intelligence capabilities.

Jia Hui thought it was also true.

So everyone offered advice again on how to perfect "Great Dry Shunfeng"!

In this way,

Jia Hui's assets.

【Wushuang School】 male and female schools, a 【Wushuang Engraving Workshop】, 【Wushuang Newspaper】 and other ten newspaper offices, 【Great Dry Shunfeng】, ten 【Wushuang Workshops】, a 【Wushuang Boutique】 luxury store, more than ten courtyards in the Divine Capital, and more than one hundred courtyards nationwide.

1 brothel, one restaurant, two tea houses, five tea shops, ten small and medium-sized restaurants.

The assets like brothels and restaurants were mainly the ten thousand taels of intelligence operation funds that Jia Hui allocated to Chen Gong and the others.

Chen Gong and the others mainly used them to buy various intelligence venues, and the rest were funds for bribery, etc.

After all, this was ten thousand taels!

Buying these assets was more than enough.

Therefore,

this also made Jia Hui, without knowing it,

have his assets increase significantly.

He didn't know until he calculated, and he was shocked when he did.

Jia Hui, who had always dreamed of becoming a big capitalist instead of an exploited wage earner, was very happy: "Hehe, without knowing it, I have also become a big tycoon and a super big capitalist!"

"This is truly—too cool!"

【401】 Li Zhangge speaks of Prince Zhongshun and Shui Rong; closing the net tomorrow.

Afterward, Jiang Ji reported the situation of Prince Zhongshun to Jia Hui again!

"After he arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture, he was sent out not long after."

Hearing this,

Jia Hui wasn't surprised at all.

The other party's status was unusual.

Even if he killed someone or set a fire, the Jingzhao Prefecture basically had no right to arrest him.

Instead, the Imperial Clan Court would come forward.

However, according to what Jia Hui knew,

the person in charge of the Imperial Clan Court now was this Prince Zhongshun.

So the only two who could arrest him were probably the Retired Emperor and his son.

Not to mention just forcing a common woman.

For such an existence, it wasn't worth mentioning at all.

Even if he killed someone or set a fire,

as long as he didn't kill a powerful person, it would be lightly let go.

Only major crimes like treason could truly hurt the other party.

And even then, there was still a possibility of saving his life.

What truly surprised Jia Hui slightly was.
