Chapter 2019: Chapter 2016: Profits Multiplying by the Thousands

Just firewood, she has a caravan and can arrange for people to transport it from farther away at any time.

Of course, she can also buy it locally.

The specific choice depends on where the price of buying firewood is more cost-effective.

A pool in the bathhouse can accommodate many people, deducting the shop’s cost.

The daily costs are just firewood and labor expenses.

If the price for a bath is reasonable, quite a few customers would be willing to visit.

She took out a white sheet of paper and calculated an account on it.

The daily expenses are about two to three taels of silver, and a customer pays ten copper coins for half an hour of bathing, including some massage work and snack expenses.

With a daily customer flow of 100 people, the basic income is one tael of silver.

In fact, the population of the capital is quite large, with tens of thousands of civilians alone.

Most of these people are quite wealthy, not lacking in that bit of silver.

The price of ten copper coins is still set for ordinary large bathhouses.

The really wealthy people are charged much more.

According to the traffic flow, accommodating a thousand people a day is not a problem, so the basic income can be ten taels, and that’s just one day’s income, amounting to thirty taels in a month.

In addition to the top-grade and second-grade bathhouses.

The top-grade can set up private rooms for three to five people, available for monthly packages, targeting wealthy customers, with a monthly price of thirty taels per room, which they might even consider cheap.

The second-grade bathhouse is larger, but can only accommodate up to twenty people, with the price also being a bit expensive, costing twenty copper coins for half an hour.

Catering to different levels of customers.

The layout inside requires a large area, with a dedicated place for parking carriages at the entrance, separating the top-grade from the tertiary-grade, corresponding to the north and south gates.

Ensuring they don’t interfere with each other and also improve the tone.

Just running a bathhouse lacks some characteristics, so Ye Muyu, after much consideration, decided to hire someone to write books and then invite the storyteller to tell stories.

As long as the stories are exciting enough and the service good, people with spare money would naturally be willing to relax a bit.

Seriously looking for someone to write books is still necessary.

Ye Muyu arranged for someone to find writers directly by recruiting in bookstores.

Those who go to bookstores to buy books are certainly scholars, and those who can write good stories must be literate.

Actually, bookstores usually collect some stories, but in Ye Muyu’s opinion, they are not very impressive, failing to create an effect that can attract customers.

Therefore, it’s better to cultivate a group of writers herself.

Of course, the content of the current books is still too serious, so listening to storytelling isn’t quite the popular activity right now.

But this also means she is facing an untapped market for storytelling.

She can not only send people to tell stories but also sell the content of those stories.

Some interested people, who are literate, would definitely not resist buying books, while others who are not literate can only listen when they visit the bathhouse.

No matter what they choose, Ye Muyu is certain not to lose out.

Previously, during the incident involving Zhang Zhonghai and the Marquis of Ande, she took the opportunity to buy several properties.

Now it will take no more than half a year to start making money, and of course, if books sell well, the cost recovery will be faster, since books are really expensive these days!

Even a serialized novel costs no less than five taels of silver per book.

This is absolutely a highly profitable business.

Moreover, this time Ye Muyu received income from the shops, adding tens of thousands of taels to her hand.

Although it’s not much, it’s enough for her to invest in opening a shop without worrying about early stage capital turnover.
