Chapter 62: Helping to sell alcohol
Liu Zhuang nodded and agreed with Han Lingchong's statement. This possibility is not just speculation, but a great possibility. So Liu Zhuang has to find another way.
"And how much vegetarian wine do you have now?" Liu Zhuang asked.
"More than two hundred altars!" Han Lingchong said.
"More than two hundred altars?" Liu Zhuang asked again in disbelief, "Just these wines?" Do you still want to start a vegetarian wine business? ”
"Why can't you do it?" Han Lingchong didn't understand Liu Zhuang's words.
So Liu Zhuang explained: "You only have more than 200 altars in total. Count a jar of 10 catties, one catty, more than 2,000 bottles, half a catty, more than 4,000 bottles......"
Han Lingchong hurriedly distinguished: "But most of us are 50-pound jars!" ”
"Good! Count you 50 pounds. Liu Zhuang is not entangled in this kind of issue, "Then half a catty, at most 10,000 bottles." If your wine is not good and you can't sell it, then there is nothing to do. But if the wine is good, and others are addicted to it, but you are gone, then won't your brand be invalid? ”
"But we can only brew two or three hundred jars a year, so there's no way not to waste it?" Han Lingchong spread his hands, "Our host uncle said that we will sell the wine first, and make up the money to open a vegetarian restaurant." We only have these belongings in Xuanqingguan. ”
Speaking of which, Liu Zhuang wanted to refuse. Liu Zhuang has the ability to do it, but he can't make something out of nothing. Isn't that a god? But before he could speak, he heard a "tick" in his ear:
"Random mission is released: Xuanqingguan wants to start an industry, but now there is a lack of start-up capital. You're going to have to figure out how to solve this puzzle for them. ”
"Difficulty: S-Rank."
"Task reward: If you complete the task, you will be rewarded with 2 free skill points, and according to the table at the time of completing the task, you will be rewarded with the corresponding exclusive skill points."
"Failure Penalty: 2 skill points will be deducted at random, and corporal punishment will be imposed once."
"Mission Description: This random task cannot be refused, it must be accepted."
Liu Zhuang was immediately speechless. He thought to himself: Okay! This goddess Kath really looks up to me! You really think of me as a god. This time, another random mission of hellish difficulty was issued.
But this random task cannot be refused. No way, if you want to complete the task, you still have to find a way from this vegetarian wine. So Liu Zhuang asked: "Then what price do you want to sell this vegetarian wine for?" ”
"Eight or nine dollars per catty." Han Lingchong said uncertainly. Then, he saw Liu Zhuang looking at him with a very strange gaze, so he quickly explained, "It can't be lower, there are still Chinese herbs when making wine." The host uncle wanted to use the money from the sale of wine to make up 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, plus the savings of Xuan Qingguan, and then get the decoration of the vegetarian restaurant up first. ”
"Eight, nine?" Liu Zhuang is indeed powerless to complain. Since the restaurant had just opened at home, Liu Zhuang also knew a little about the price of wine at that time. Not to mention the loose wine without a brand, the lowest grade two and three songs are two or three yuan. Daqu is a little higher, but it won't exceed ten yuan. Of course, the price of those mid-to-high-end wines has gone to the sea.
Therefore, the pricing of this vegetarian wine is very problematic, it is not high, it is not low, and compared with low-grade wine, it is high. But compared with mid-to-high-end wines, it is not famous. To put it mildly, there is no market at all.
"You can't sell this wine like that." Liu Zhuang began to lecture. And Gu Jie behind him was in good spirits, and she listened carefully with wide eyes, "The first thing is pricing." Good wine needs good packaging, that is, to get a clay bottle, but also one or two pieces. I haven't even counted the publicity and promotion expenses. Good wine should also be able to drink. Therefore, the price of your Xuanqingguan is low, at least twenty or thirty yuan. But if you have a small quantity, you are not famous, and you can't continue to produce, then you need a selling point. ”
"What's the selling point?" Han Lingchong asked.
"Just ask you! Do you have any wine from the last year in Xuanqingguan? Ten or twenty years. Liu Zhuang asked.
"Nope." Han Lingchong shook his head quickly, "In the past, the host uncle and my father brought the wine in the temple home. The rest were also smashed. After so many years, I have almost drunk it at home. These two hundred jars are all newly brewed after the restoration of the Xuanqing Temple. ”
Hearing that this selling point was not good, Liu Zhuang asked again: "So have you ever drunk it?" What is the taste of this wine? ”
"I haven't drunk it!" Han Lingchong shook his head again, "My dad said that children can't drink this wine, it will hurt their bodies." ”
"Hey!" Liu Zhuang shook his head. He was almost scratching his head. This Xuanqingguan vegetarian wine is simply useless!
But suddenly, he thought of Han Lingchong's words just now, and thought that Han Lingchong's Zhengyi could get married, so Liu Zhuang's eyes suddenly lit up: "I said Xiao Han, can you honestly say that there is a secret to double cultivation in your view?" ”
"What do you mean by double cultivation?" Gu Jie on the side asked curiously.
"Little girl, don't interrupt!" How could Liu Zhuang poison an innocent girl.
And Han Lingchong obviously understood Liu Zhuang's words. He squirmed, "They said I was too young to practice." ”
"That's it!" Liu Zhuang clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Get a selling point of double cultivation and sell it to Japan." Anyway, Japanese people like small movies and love to watch Mr. Cang. ”
"What is a small movie? Who is Teacher Cang? Gu Jie and Han Lingchong asked in unison.
"This ......? It's Ken Takakura. Liu Zhuang's quickness was also very fast, and he quickly made up for his gaffe, "Anyway, the Japanese are good at this." I contacted Brother Yang in the capital to find a way to sell it in Japan. But I can't guarantee this, anyway, I'll give you a letter in two or three days. But you have to prepare when you go back, and you have to set a brand for this vegetarian wine. In addition, the procedures required for sake brewing, such as industrial and commercial and tax procedures, must also be completed, otherwise it will not be able to be sold. ”
"Is that all?" Han Lingchong asked again.
"That's all for now. There must be a channel to sell alcohol first! It's really not good, then you can also sell it in my restaurant. But that's a long time, and it's impossible to say if it's sold out in a year or two. Liu Zhuang said again.
"Alright then!" Han Lingchong nodded.
Then Han Lingchong looked at Gu Jie, and then thought of Wang Mei who was accompanying Liu Zhuang at that time, so he thought: It seems that Brother Xiao Zhuang is also good.
So Han Lingchong smiled and said, "Brother Zhuang! I'll prepare an altar for you, too. When do you come to our Xuanqing Temple to get it, let you taste it. This thing! You may really need it. ”
……
When Han Lingchong left, Gu Jie's woman's curiosity couldn't hold back anymore. She asked Liu Zhuang again suspiciously, "What exactly is double cultivation?" ”
Liu Zhuang could only laugh: "It's a cultivation method for Taoist priests." I don't know much either. ”
From the conversation just now, Gu Jie had already learned that Han Lingchong was a little Taoist priest of Xuanqing Temple. However, for the term "double cultivation", Gu Jie has a sensitivity unique to women. So Liu Zhuang's haha did not eliminate her doubts. She glanced at Liu Zhuang and stopped asking. After enduring it for a while, Gu Jie held back a sentence: "You men are so dirty." ”
Of course, Liu Zhuang pretended not to hear, and he was empty-minded at this time. But the two of them didn't take a few steps, Gu Jie bit her lower lip, but suddenly asked, "Who is that person?" ”
"What...... Who is that man? Liu Zhuang was confused by Gu Jie's question.
Seeing Liu Zhuang pretending to be stupid, Gu Jie "snorted". The girl's pride made her not want to ask again, she had already guessed that the person was the "rival in love" that Liu Zhuang had confessed. So there was a very strange scene on the street, Gu Jie was walking in front like a proud princess, and Liu Zhuang was like a leper dog with a tail between his legs, following closely behind.
……
"Brother Yang! This is the case with this wine. Pricing? 50 bar! ”
"What? It's so cheap. Anyway, this is the reserve price, you can quote it up! A lot of it is earned by our brothers. ”
"The selling point? It's an aphrodisiac. Moreover, it is made of Chinese herbal medicine and has no side effects. ”
"Wait! Brother Yang, I'll take a note. The wine bottle should be antique, the more earthy the better. The key is to ask for the information on the wine. Looking for it from the information of Xuanqingguan and the royal history, it is enough to have some touches, and it should be vaguely indicated that it is used by the emperor and has no side effects. The longer the inheritance, the better. …… It's all written down, Brother Yang! ”
"Send in a hundred bottles to promote first, that's no problem. If the market response is good, it is necessary to find a manufacturer to start production, and then formulate a specific marketing plan. I've made a note of this, too. ”
"Thank you, Brother Yang! Thank you! ”
……
"Xiao Han! I asked Brother Yang in the capital, and he agreed to help him test market in Japan. You have to give 100 bottles to try first. Questions? ”
"This wine is called Xuan sake? Absolutely. What the? Have you gone through all the formalities for selling alcohol? That's for the best. ”
"Remember, this is Brother Yang's request. Don't miss it. …… I'll price you 50. If it sells high, you can get more. As for how to divide it? Brother Yang always has to promise that, as for me, let the two Taoist leaders decide! ”
"You said you couldn't find a winery there? Then I'll figure it out. Is Qin Gang okay? Good! There's no need to rush this anyway. Let's wait for the results of the trial! ”
"What? Do you want to master the formula? That's fine! But you're going to have to send someone to the winery. ”
"Don't worry, a lot of things are not written now, take a step at a time, I won't let go anyway."
……
"Uncle! Do we have a small winery there? Right! Someone wants to use it. ”
"The winery in the county? Of course that's good! How much does it cost? ”
"Is it to pay a contract fee? That's definitely fine. Oh! Oh! It turned out that the county winery couldn't run it anymore. ”
"Uncle! Don't talk about it yet. I'm just going to inquire first. If the sake is sold in Japan, it is possible to contract a distillery, so this may not be possible. ”
