The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1244: Dividend Plan

Ling Feng was momentarily surprised, then he understood what Tang Wansheng meant.

The winery is built in Tang Family Village, and everyone in the village holds shares.

When the wine produced by the winery goes out, they not only earn wages but also get additional dividends.

Because of this, not only Tang Wansheng but everyone in the village cares about how much money can be made!

Ling Feng then smiled, looked at Tang Xiaoqian who walked over, and asked, "Sis, what’s the current production volume?"

"Right now it’s three hundred pounds per day, but once all the equipment is up, two to three thousand pounds won’t be a problem!" Tang Xiaoqian said.

Ling Feng said, "Oh," and then continued to ask, "What’s the cost then? How much does it cost per pound of wine?"

"I’ve actually calculated this. Including labor and materials, the cost per pound of wine is over nine bucks!" Tang Xiaoqian said.

"I see! What do you think the pricing should be?" Ling Feng asked.

"Well, I don’t think I have a say in this, right? You should decide!" Tang Xiaoqian said with a bitter smile.

She’s just the technical head; the winery belongs to Ling Feng. All the investment in equipment and so on is his money, so Tang Xiaoqian feels she’s not qualified to set the price.

Ling Feng laughed: "Sis, you’re too distant, no need to divide yours and mine, just say what you think can work!"

"Exactly, Mr. Ling values you, why are you holding back?" Tang Wansheng chimed in.

"I think selling for fifteen bucks per pound will be fine. That way, it’s low profit but high sales volume. Once the production reaches a thousand pounds a day, the profit alone will be over five thousand!" Tang Xiaoqian said.

A monthly net profit of one hundred and fifty thousand is a sky-high amount the villagers never imagined she felt this is already stellar!

And this is just the basic income. Once the winery operates normally, daily output will definitely exceed just a thousand pounds.

Therefore, Tang Xiaoqian sees this pricing as most reasonable; the wine is not expensive, ordinary people can afford it, and the winery can make a significant income.

Unexpectedly, Ling Feng shook his head, "No way!"

Tang Xiaoqian and Tang Wansheng were both stunned, and then she immediately said, "Then set it at twelve bucks that’s fine, considering transportation and sales."

Ling Feng smiled, "I’m not saying you set it too high, I think it’s too low. Let me decide, fifty per pound!"

"What?"

Tang Wansheng and Tang Xiaoqian were both dumbfounded.

In shock, Ling Feng smiled and said, "You heard right, it’s fifty per pound. I’ll take all the wine produced, whether to sell or give away, the profit or loss is on me!"

"Isn’t this inappropriate?"

Tang Xiaoqian was a bit baffled and then understood Ling Feng’s meaning; he bears the profits and losses. Meaning, after subtracting cost, the fifty bucks per pound is all winery income, it’s for worker and villager dividends!

Her mind was a bit muddled; fortunately, Mu Lingling was beside her, quickly calculating: "According to this calculation, with a daily output of a thousand pounds, the winery’s net profit will be forty thousand, and people in Tang Family Village can earn over one thousand in dividends a day!"

"Huh?"

Even Tang Wansheng was dumbfounded!

His voice trembled slightly as he looked at Mu Lingling, "Teacher Mu, you’re not wrong in your calculations, right?"

"No mistake, even accounting for equipment maintenance and other major expenses, conservatively, the three hundred plus people in Tang Family Village can each earn over a thousand in dividends daily, meaning a household of three can earn over a million in less than a year!" Mu Lingling said.

"This..."

Tang Wansheng was shocked, hesitating a moment before looking at Ling Feng, "This isn’t right, no, we can’t give that much!"

Ling Feng was still laughing, but when the old man said this, he was stunned and asked in surprise, "Why not?"

"Mr. Ling, people in the village haven’t seen much of the world. Suddenly having so much money, I’m worried something will happen!"

Tang Wansheng was a bit agitated, his beard quivering slightly, "Suddenly having that much money, idleness is not too excessive, but I’m worried someone might go astray, get involved in vice!"

"Uh, that’s indeed an issue!"

Ling Feng thought it was true, sudden wealth and then squandering all family assets isn’t unheard of, there are quite a few examples like this!

Hesitating, Ling Feng then said, "If not, let’s not distribute all the profits directly. The village can open an account, save the money, and when it accumulates enough, we can improve the village environment, repair the school and roads using this money, it’s for the good of the people."

"That’s a good idea, and we can set up a fund pool, for example, children from families who get into high school or university can get bonuses from here!" Mu Lingling said.

After hearing this, Ling Feng nodded, "Right, Teacher Mu’s idea is good, why don’t you help design a rule?"

"Me?"

Mu Lingling was taken aback, then waved her hand, "I’d better not, I’m not from Tang Family Village, not qualified!"

"Precisely because you aren’t from Tang Family Village, the rules you set won’t be biased, Teacher Mu, listen to me, this matter can’t be done by anyone other than you!" Tang Wansheng said.

"Well, alright."

Mu Lingling reluctantly nodded, then laughed, "Actually, I saw it in the news, other wealthy villages do this!"

Ling Feng felt a stir in his heart, "You’re talking about Hua Family Village, right?"

"Yeah, Big Brother Ling, you’ve heard of it too?" Mu Lingling smiled.

Ling Feng thought, not only have I heard, I even made a bet with their people!

But he didn’t say this, just nodded, then said, "Then design according to their welfare plan. In the future, not only does Tang Family Village have a winery, but it can also run other projects, all managed by the village. The future achievements might not be less than Hua Family Village!"

Though his words were firm, to Tang Xiaoqian and others, it felt a bit too exaggerated.

Just relying on a tiny winery to rise, how can it compare to Hua Family Village?

Ling Feng at this time said to Mu Lingling, "After you draft the dividend plan, remember to give me two copies, it can be used for Shankou Village and another Mountain God Temple Village in the future!"

Mu Lingling nodded, "Oh, alright!"

At this point, Long Xiaoyu who had been feeling a bit impatient beside them asked, "Done discussing now? Can we go check out the rice wine?"

"Right, right, almost forgot about this, let’s get the wine!"

Tang Xiaoqian had already noticed Long Xiaoyu, surprised at how pretty the girl was, while secretly guessing her relationship with Ling Feng.

Though she couldn’t figure it out, since Long Xiaoyu came with Ling Feng, she quickly turned back into the winery.

Very soon, Tang Xiaoqian used a large glass cup to pour a full glass of clear white wine!
