Chapter 60: Good Wine and Sword Selling
The stairs weren't long, and the two quickly reached the bottom. The candles are lit and illuminate the surroundings.
Only then did Bai Yuan see that there was only one elm shelf in the huge cellar, and there was a lonely jar of wine on it.
It was the hundred-year-old sword Gu that he transferred out in the past that gave the Wen family brothers and sisters one person and one altar.
He couldn't help but be surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you use it to bribe Boss Li of Muding Commercial Bank?"
"How can I give up such a good wine?" Fourth Young Master Wen's gaze fell on the jar, and he was soft, "I haven't been a material for winemaking since I was a child, even if I work hard, my qualifications are still mediocre, so I really envy a genius like you." 」
He stretched out his hand to sweep away the little dust on the altar, "Before leaving, I told myself that if I lose money this time in the north, I will sell this altar of century-old sword and sell it for the top account, so this jar of wine is my bottom line, and I will do everything I can to protect it." 」
"No," Bai Dear felt that this was inappropriate, "a little ......"
He couldn't find a suitable way to say it for a moment, so he paused slightly.
Wen Shen on the other side chuckled: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Since the fourth brother promised you, he will definitely not play all his tricks again, don't worry. 」
Bai Yuan's thoughts were clearly said by him, somewhat embarrassed, he snorted meaninglessly, and climbed out first.
By the time Wen Shen came up, he had already called the rickshaw outside the door.
Without saying anything all the way, the two went back to the inn. I didn't think that Lu Yunkai was not there, and neither were Shen Zhixing and the rest of Tai Yongde's buddies.
"It's not going to be someone kidnapping tickets again, right?" Bai Yuan asked jokingly as he looked at the empty hall.
Wen Shen took the tea and took a sip before replying: "I bought a courtyard in Beiping, and Mr. Shen may have taken someone to pick it up. If we can clean it up at night, we'll move ......."
As he spoke, his hand holding the tea paused obviously, and he deliberately said, "Bai Yuan, the courtyard I bought is next to the Lin Mansion, less than twenty steps away. 」
"Then I'll go straight home. Bai dropped the teacup in his hand, poured it again, raised his head and took a sip, "You haven't gone north in Qianyang for so long, and you will pick a house together?"
Wen Shen shook his head, "In addition to asking someone to find a yard and buy a shop, I also have to transport wine and money to make connections. He said honestly, and he was a little well-behaved, "Not to mention that there is a mother who prevents me, if you are in charge, you will know my difficulties." 」
Bai Yuan was not convinced: "You wait, I should show you tomorrow." 」
"That's not going to work. It happened that Lu Yunkai stepped through the threshold and came in, "Your family's affairs are a bit tricky, so you have to think about it in the long run. 」
Thinking that he should have gone out to inquire about a lot of things, his brows were deeply locked at this time, forcing Bai Cheng, who was originally a hanger, to get up.
"How?" he asked.
Lu Yunkai sat down opposite Wen Shen, "Now there are four liquor giants in Beiping, two salaries, Jin Lianggu, your Lin family's clear water source, and Xi Shihua......
"Huh?" Bai Yan couldn't help but wonder, "Why haven't you heard of it before?"
"This is an old rival," Lu Yunkai shook his head and smiled as if he had heard something interesting: "Yibin's two phases are harmonious, and miscellaneous grain wine spreads throughout Shudi, but when I came to Beiping, I learned that the largest wine shop is called Two Phases, and this name is considered to have collided." The shopkeeper is also bold, and the name handed down by the ancestors has been used for more than 100 years, and it has been changed when it is said. 」
His expression was very approving and it seemed that this kind of unconventional play had always been very pleasing to him.
Bai Yuan is not very familiar with this winery, and he has only heard it a few times before, but he can rank fourth in a short time, in addition to the good wine, it also shows the ability of the shopkeeper.
Lu Yunkai collected his thoughts and continued: "My original idea was to accompany Boss Wen to be Xiangtai Yongde, and by the way, to squeeze the Lin family, once they are in chaos, you can naturally take the opportunity to go back. But right now, your second brother is using a method that you can't even think of to make the business prosperous, which is really difficult to deal with. 」
He intended to sell a pass, but Bai Yuan didn't give him this face, "Isn't it just selling to the black market and raising the price of alcohol? 」
Lu Yunkai was not too surprised when he saw that he knew, but just explained, "You think things are too simple. He not only sold to the black market, but also put it on the market as a fake to make two profits. After that, a part of the genuine goods will be distributed to the restaurants in the city, and there will definitely be no more supply every month, and it will be sold out to earn the third head. Now Yuquan Gong is the most expensive wine in Beiping, you calculate, he has made selling wine into a profitable business. Such a person should not be underestimated. 」
In the last sentence, he stared at Bai Yuan's eyes as he spoke, "This person is not your second brother, he has killed his own brother, looking at the ancestral foundation is like looking at a cash cow, if you still want to keep the code of ethics and fight with him often, then let's go home." 」
Bai Yuan realized Lu Yunkai's superiority for the first time.
Years and experience are the gaps that many people can't cross, this person has to be ruthless, stable and stable, no wonder Fu Shaotong chose him without hesitation.
"What does that gentleman think?" Bai Yuan smiled and humbly asked for advice.
"Two roads," Lu Yunkai looked at him firmly, "Obviously robbing him of his business, carrying ...... on his back" He deliberately lowered his voice, and after a brief explanation, he smiled: "The two of you have a tacit understanding." 」
The two who were instructed looked at each other, both of them raised their eyebrows, and they were arbitrary and had no scruples.
"Sir, just wait for the show to begin. Bai Yan patted Lu Yunkai on the shoulder and agreed.
That night, Shen Zhixing set up a car to pick up people, and the group lived safely opposite the Lin family.
Before the sun rose, Bai fell without the slightest sleep. He got up and opened the window to let the cold air in, until his fingertips began to cool, and then he pushed the door and walked out.
There was still a faint light snow on the edge of the wall of the alley, and he was familiar with the way, so he quickly went around to the back door of the Lin family, and stepped on the old tree by the door to climb the wall.
The starlight is not hidden, and the wind carries a chill. As if he didn't realize it, he just stared at a corner of the courtyard, and couldn't take his eyes off it. After the rooster crowed three times, a light lit up in the direction he was looking, warm yellow and translucent, like the best scene in the world.
When he saw the lamp, he seemed to be at ease, climbed down from the wall, and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he knew that Wen Shen and the others had gone to the shop, Bai Shen picked up the bun at hand, and hurried over there.
The three words "Tai Yongde" are gilded, ebony and shiny, and they look majestic.
The people of Peking are born with three points of familiarity, and there are many people around the lively ones.
Wen Shen calmly suppressed the noise of the four circles, "Guizhou Taiyongde, a newcomer, has prepared some light gifts for the fathers and elders of Beiping. As he spoke, he suddenly pulled away the jar of wine behind him and raised one person high, "As long as everyone helps to shout twice, these are all yours, and you won't take a penny!"
"Oh, good fellow......"
The wine jar stood like a mountain, and the admiration of the crowd immediately rang out.
"Amazing!"
"The arrogance of the shopkeeper!"
It took Wen Shen some effort to stop these voices one after another, "You just need to walk into a shop casually and ask if he has good wine in his house, and after you come back, I will personally serve you two taels of the most famous wine in Qiandi." 」
"It's that simple?" There were people down there who didn't believe it.
Wen Shen nodded: "You can give it a try, so many people are witnessing, can I still deny it?"
"Then you're not afraid we'll fool you?" someone joked again.
This time, the man standing in front of the altar shook his head, "I can trust the father and elder of Sijiu City, the person who grew up guarding the majestic imperial power, and he is naturally atmospheric, and he will definitely not fool me as a foreigner in such a trivial matter. 」
His words made people feel comfortable, and the first one to pick up the stubble immediately turned into a restaurant, opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have a good wine sword here?"
was asked with a confused face, "What, what wine?"
The man said again, and after Xiao Er shook his head, he returned to Wen Shen in a hurry.
Wen Shen didn't ask, in front of everyone, he took a small porcelain pot and filled two taels of wine, handed it to the other party, and then instructed: "These two
You have put away the two small pots, and in the future, you can buy Tai Yongde's sword in any commercial house, restaurant, or tea shop, and you can see this pot as cheap as you can. 」
"Oh," the man said, his voice widening, "and this good thing? Okay, thank you shopkeeper, I wish you a prosperous business!"
After he finished speaking, he took the wine jug, put it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately dragged a long "um" sound, overflowing with joy, "Shopkeeper, such a good wine, I'm afraid you will have to lose a lot." 」
"You don't understand this," Wen Shen took a few steps forward and walked into the crowd, "They all say that there are no businessmen and no women, we have traveled through mountains and rivers to do business here, and it is a lie to say that it is not for profit, you are all clear-eyed people, and you can't believe it." But I don't make money this time, just to earn the reputation of Tai Yongde and Good Wine Jiangu. 」
He was originally gentle, and his words were even more frank, and the people around him were infected by his words, and they were convinced, and they turned their heads to look for shops and inquired according to Wen Shen's words.
Soon, someone came back to get the wine, and the Wen family and the rest of the men followed suit, and they didn't hesitate to cash it out.
People who love wine are arrogant, and there are not many wines, and many people drink them on the spot. This taste is not tight, and it is immediately applauded.
Some people even directly slapped the ocean and took away a few altars. Others rushed to tell each other, so that more people came to help and shout. The long street was busy, how many people crowded in front of Tai Yongde's shop, and then went to other shops in Sijiu City to inquire, and there was a bit of vigor in the noise.
In just one day, the wine jar behind Wen Shen was emptied, and the threshold of the merchants in half of the 49 City was about to be broken.
The shopkeepers of several nearby restaurants were curious, and came out to stand aside, taking a closer look at what this group of outsiders were doing. And the shopkeepers in the distance were completely unaware of it, scratching their chins one by one to figure out how the wind was blowing.
It only took one day to let the future buyers hear the word "Jiangu" for 800 times, and Wen Shen sent off the last guest and leisurely packed up his things.
Bai Yuan stood beside him, admiring him more and more, "What will we do tomorrow?" he asked.
"Let's see how Mr. Lu is talking. Wen Shen was in a good mood, and actually moved a chair back to the house, "I made an appointment with Langzhong, you can meet me later." 」
