Chapter 746: Tea (Page 1/1)
"Since you have come to Southern Province, it is better to drink tea in the countryside and follow the customs, and I will make tea for the two of you. Liu Hao explained a few words to the waiter, and after a while, someone brought a large tea tray, on which was the daily tea making utensils of the people of Southern Province.
Tea is abundant in the southern province, and the price of a very good tea brew is now much lower than that of coffee imported from far and wide.
Fan Jiaqin stared at these tea sets curiously, "It doesn't seem to be the same as the ones we have there." ”
"Different tea leaves are brewed with different tea utensils to maximize its flavor. Liu Hao said slowly, brewing tea with both hands dexterously and elegantly.
Although Liu Haohao's action of making tea is not as deliberate as the tea art performance, after all, he is a person who has been immersed in the tea ceremony for many years, and he is also very good-looking like a flowing water, which instantly attracted the attention of Fan Jiaqin and Qian Daming.
Liu Haohao put two cups in front of Fan Jiaqin and Qian Daming, and after filling them with tea, he made a gesture of "please", "Our oolong tea in Southern Province, you can smell it first, the fragrant cup is on the left, and the tea cup is on the right, this oolong is fragrant, with the aroma of orchids, the fragrance is high and long-lasting......"
They watched Liu Hao pour the tea from the smelling cup into the tea cup, rubbed the already empty smelling cup with both hands, closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath......
That look was really confident and elegant, it was the first time they had seen such a contrivedness, and they hurriedly followed suit for fear of embarrassment.
"Good tea, it really has the scent of orchids......"
"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, it's really fragrant......"
Fan Jiaqin and Qian Daming don't have a deep understanding of traditional culture, and they can't think of anything to say, so they can only praise it in the most simple words, whether they really smell the fragrance of orchids or not, but in the face of the tea ceremony metaphysics that can fool Zhuang Jianming, these two young people were naturally led away by Liu Haohao, not to mention that Liu Haohao made them the best tea, and at this moment a room of tea is fragrant, even Fan Jiaqin and Qian Daming, who advocate Western culture, are respectful of this mysterious oriental leaf at this moment.
Fan Jiaqin is a person who is used to drinking coffee, and he has no deep understanding of the tea ceremony, but he is afraid of being embarrassed by what he has done wrong, so he carefully watched her learn every move.
After the three of them drank the first cup of tea, Liu Haohao began to talk about business in a slow and logical tone, and the initiative of the conversation at this time had unconsciously shifted to her hands.
"The Fan family is a well-known big family in Xiangjiang, especially in the import and export trade, it can be said that it owns half of the Xiangjiang River, which makes people have to admire, if Mr. Fan is willing to invest in our southern province, the people of our southern province will welcome it, this cup I will toast you with tea instead of wine. Liu Hao raised his tea cup and took a sip.
Fan Jiaqin felt that the woman in front of him was really a wonderful person, he just wanted to come to Southern Province to do business, and had no intention of investing, Southern Province is rich in resources, if this is used as a raw material production area, it is good to import goods from here, but if you invest in a factory or something, he does not feel that there is any advantage that cannot be replaced by other places.
"Director Liu is polite, the cost of investment is too high, after all, I am a young man in the family, and I am not qualified to decide such a big matter. Fan Jiaqin politely refused.
"That's a pity," Liu Hao smiled at him, but he didn't force him to promise anything so quickly, "So Mr. Fan came to Southern Province this time just for the mahogany business?"
"That's not it, the southern province is rich in resources, in addition to mahogany, there are many specialties, like tea, porcelain, ......"
"Mr. Fan, do you think it's still the Ming and Qing dynasties? Just focusing on these traditional export products, your horizon is inevitably narrower. ”
Fan Jiaqin's eyelids jumped twice, Liu Hao's face looked gentle and amiable, but what he said was too ruthless, which made him a little embarrassed, and a faint displeasure swelled in his heart, and he was quickly suppressed by him, "Director Liu, if you have any better ideas, I hope to give me advice." ”
"I don't dare to give advice, I'm actually a little curious, if Mr. Fan really buys our rosewood, how are you going to transport it back? Is it by land? Or by water? If you take it by land, you will have to pass through several provinces, and in the case of many mountains and few roads, how high is the transportation cost and how low the transportation efficiency is, I don't know if you have calculated it? If you want to take the waterway, we don't have a big freight port in the southern province. ”
Fan Jiaqin was a little helpless, "Yes, so I can only take the land route, this is a matter of no way, the cost is higher." ”
"But in fact, there are several places along the coast of our southern province that are suitable for the construction of large-scale freight ports, take our H city as an example, since ancient times it is an important node of the Maritime Silk Road, and it is also a large port for foreign trade in modern times, with many natural harbors, if the southern province repairs the port, freight can be much more convenient. ”
Fan Jiaqin nodded, "Yes, if Southern Province can have its own cargo port, then our freight will be convenient." ”
"If we have our own freight port, you can lay out the industrial park along the port, Xiangjiang is now very high labor costs, right? Labor costs have become the largest cost of your light industry, but we are different, our labor is cheap, if you are willing to invest in our factory, the cost of employment is far lower than other countries and regions, the products produced can be sold directly to the world through the freight port, the production cost is extremely low, and the profit is very considerable. ”
"That's true. Fan Jiaqin was also a little moved, "I don't know when you plan to build a cargo port in Southern Province?"
"I am afraid that we will not be able to support such a large expenditure on our own finances. Liu shrugged.
Fan Jiaqin somewhat understood what she meant, and couldn't help laughing, "You don't want our Fan family to repair the port for you, right?"
They just wanted to buy some mahogany, so she fooled them into investing in the construction of the port, which was too lion-minded.
Liu Haohao also smiled, "Building a port requires a lot of capital investment, and I am afraid that your Fan family will not be able to eat this piece of cake alone." ”
Fan Jiaqin thought about it, but if Liu Hao's brain was not bad, he would not have made such an outrageous suggestion.
"What does Director Liu mean?"
"I hope that Mr. Fan can help us to publicize the southern province, and by the way, also publicize our determination to build a port in the southern province, and attract more overseas giants to invest in the construction of the port. ”
