Chapter 144: Winning People's Hearts
When Bai Shouyi saw this scene, his face was a little heavy, he had just tried to speak, and he promised a lot of benefits in private, but he would still temporarily defect.
He looked at the past with a bad look, and the two shopkeepers who withdrew avoided it, but the seventh uncle's face was as usual, and if nothing happened, Bai Shouyi couldn't do anything.
Bai Susu smiled faintly and said: "Second uncle, it seems that there are more people who support Su Su, the position of the head of this family should be taken over by Su Su for the time being." ”
Bai Shouyi snorted: "The Ding family has united many families to put pressure on the Bai family, can you fight against a girl's family?" At this time, it is better for us to be elders to carry the burden, and it is not your turn to come out. ”
Bai Susu shook his head and said: "Second uncle, you can't say this, in the ordinary times when the family is in good times, grandpa hands over the family business to me to take care of, and asks the second uncle not to meddle in the family's affairs." At this critical time, the Bai family is facing life and death at any time, and it is even more important for Su Su to shoulder it. ”
Several clan elders and shopkeepers nodded one after another, feeling that what Bai Susu said made a lot of sense.
When Bai Shouyi heard this, his face was very ugly, and he was angry, her words, every word, made herself ugly in public, and she really wanted to go over and slap this niece a few times; However, seeing that Bai Lang and Peng Jingqing beside him, he still didn't dare to rush over and attack, otherwise, it was likely that he would be kicked away.
"What can you do, the Ding family already has two secret recipes for white porcelain and celadon, and is firing on a large scale, according to what I heard, the merchants in the ceramic business in Runzhou City have taken refuge in the Ding family, how can you reverse this disadvantage?" Bai Shouyi sneered again and again.
Bai Susu was unmoved, his stunning face was not wavering, and under the attention of everyone, he was still calm and calm, and said: "I have my own way, in terms of porcelain, I will also send someone to improve, so that the white porcelain of the Ding family cannot be compared with our white porcelain." In addition, we also have several new products, such as soap soap, spirits and wines, all of which are unique in the market, and when the time comes, those merchants who rely on foreign trade, when they find that my Bai's soap spirits are more profitable than porcelain and more convenient to transport, will they refuse this business? ”
In the few days when the family had an accident, Bai Susu thought of a coping strategy, improving the types and patterns of white porcelain, and the sense of detail, and at the same time paying close attention to the study of celadon, and even returning the favor to the other in his way, and also obtained the secret recipe of the Ding family's celadon through similar means of the Ding family.
Bai Susu did not just set his sights on the Ding family's craftsmen, because at this time, the Ding family must have taken strict care of their own craftsmen and had no way to start, but the Ding family's celadon and firing technology mainly came from the Yue kiln, and Bai Susu had already sent people to Yue to find a craftsman who knew how to fire celadon.
In the past, the Bai family did not do this, that is, they did not intend to provoke the confrontation between the two families, because the porcelain business is very large, in addition to a small number of official kilns in various places, there are also many squire kilns firing, but they do not have the financial resources and scale of the Ding family and the Bai family, so as long as the Bai family concentrates on making white porcelain, there will be no conflict with the celadon of the Ding family, and the two families can go on without trouble.
But now the Ding family took the initiative to declare war, plotted for a long time, and launched a business war against the Bai family. The Bai family was forced to fight, and the most conservative way was to also have celadon ware, so as to offset the advantages of the Ding family.
However, this method, leukin is also one of the alternatives and cannot be completely relied on. She still has to make breakthroughs in other aspects in order to completely suppress the Ding family.
If you don't move, once you fight, Bai Susu hopes to be able to beat the Ding family.
After Bai Shouyi listened to Bai Susu's method, he was a little stunned, he had never heard of any soap or liquor, and he didn't know when the family had this kind of business!
"You are talking about it, fooling the clan elders and the shopkeepers, what kind of soap and soap is this, we have never heard of it at all, it is all your fabrication, quibbling excuses." Bai Shouyi scolded.
Bai Susu smiled faintly, looked at Xiao Tong behind him, and said, "Xiao Tong, take out the soap." ”
"Yes, Miss!"
Xiao Tong held a cloth belt in his hand, and took out the cut soap blocks from it, each piece was only half the size of a fist, round and smooth, with the fragrance of grass and trees, and handed it to several clan elders and shopkeepers, so that they could take a look for themselves.
"This is soap, what is it for?"
"It still has a fragrance, is it a product for my daughter's family?"
"Hey, it can't be a washing thing, right?" There was a very shrewd shopkeeper who, after touching it in his hand, immediately guessed its usefulness.
Bai Susu's cold face flashed a faint smile, and said peacefully: "This thing is soap, used for washing hands and bathing, can remove dirt on the body, clean and hygienic, often use it to wash the body, can reduce diseases." There is also a fragrance on it, which is more suitable for the ladies of the Tang Kingdom to use, even if it is foreign trade, it will be very popular! ”
After everyone heard the words, they all showed a look of surprise, bathing with this thing, you can have less diseases, and there is a fragrance, you can imagine, it can be to Runzhou and even the Tang Kingdom of women, what kind of attraction.
A 50-year-old shopkeeper in Tsing Yi asked, "How much is this piece worth?" What about profits? ”
Bai Susu replied: "What you have in your hands is just a small piece of cutting, and I will give it to you to take home and try it." The real soap, a piece is equivalent to twice the size of this, and the initial price is five taels of silver, and when the Runzhou market is gradually saturated, the price will be gradually reduced. ”
"Five taels of silver a piece, that's five dollars!" These people were a little surprised that such a soap was much more expensive than ordinary porcelain.
Su Chen heard Bai Susu's price on the side, her eyes lit up a little, and she thought that she was worthy of being a profiteer, she thought that one or two taels of silver were quite expensive, and she casually set the price of five taels of silver, that is, five yuan of money, which increased by five times, except for the squire, other civilians could not afford it at all.
These clan elders and shopkeepers have already believed most of them, and they have cast a look of admiration for Bai Susu. She quietly developed such a new thing, even if the ceramic business was crushed, and this thing was bundled with white porcelain, I believe that those who do foreign porcelain business will not directly break off the relationship with the Bai family.
What's more, in addition to the merchants who do the ceramic business, other shops selling rouge gouache will also be of great interest to it.
In this way, the Bai family will not be completely defeated by the Ding family, and their worries will be reduced a lot.
Bai Susu took the opportunity to say: "Soap is just one of them, it is the business of the rich squires and even the powerful royal family." There is also a thing called soap, which is specially used for laundry and decontamination, and those poor households can also buy it home, laundry and hand washing, and the price is much cheaper, and it generates profits by exporting it in large quantities. In addition, the Bai family will make spirits, sake and famous sake of different purities, and the business of the Bai family will only grow in the future. ”
After hearing this, these clan elders and shopkeepers were all full of shock, except for one clan elder and two shopkeepers who were bought by Bai Shouyi's money, the rest of them all retreated, keeping a distance from Bai Shouyi.
