Chapter 592: What kind of reputation is Li Kuan?
Changsun Chong has been very happy lately.
A black tea shop in Xishi rose rapidly and seized a lot of the market for Longjing fragrant tea in the Chu Wangfu.
Many people are watching the attitude of the Chu Palace.
And "Chang'an Evening News" fanned the flames, and reported on the relevant content of the Lin family's black tea for several days in a row, which was simply advertising for them for free, and Lu Qiang, who was happy, couldn't find the north.
"Brother Zheng, do you think this black tea has a headset?"
Wuhe was in the middle, and the eldest grandson Chong and Zheng Hai got together to taste the food as usual.
As the sons of nobles, they are well aware of the importance of socializing.
For friends who are on their level, they are always looking for opportunities to connect with each other.
In fact, many ordinary people can't do this.
Of course, the lack of money is one thing, and more importantly, the lack of that kind of business relationship vision.
Even in later generations, many graduates from rural areas are relatively weak in this aspect and are not good at managing relationships.
Of course, this is not absolute, but relatively speaking, it is not so important.
Even if you know this truth in your heart, you always don't implement it for one reason or another.
"Brother Eldest Sun, there are people in Chang'an City who have your idea, if not a hundred, but also eighty. It stands to reason that the Chu Wangfu has a monopoly on the production and sale of tea in the Tang Dynasty, and will never allow others to threaten their existence, so I have not taken any action during this time. ”
Zheng Hai compared his heart to his heart, and felt that if he was Li Kuan, he would definitely not allow the Lin family's black tea shop to develop and grow.
There are many ways to deal with a black tea shop with no foundation.
Basically, as long as Li Kuan expresses this meaning, his subordinates can properly handle this matter.
However, it was also this that made him strange.
Obviously, everyone can see the development prospects of black tea, but there is no movement in the Chu Palace.
"I had the same idea as you before, and I didn't think there was any need to mess with Li Kuan in the field of tea. I don't know if you have read today's "Datang Daily"? There's an article in it that makes people feel very weird. ”
The eldest grandson took a sip of Qili incense and said thoughtfully.
"Oh? I really haven't read today's "Datang Daily"? What, what's new? ”
Whether you want to or not, "Datang Daily" is now the largest newspaper in Datang, and all kinds of news in it are also the most authoritative, so the noble and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, basically every household will order this newspaper.
Zheng Hai is naturally no exception.
But I just haven't seen it today.
"A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring", this article is the first time that "Datang Daily" mentioned the Lin family black tea shop and the development of the tea industry for the first time since this period of time. The article not only did not criticize black tea, but greatly praised the discovery of black tea, affirmed the importance of black tea to the development of tea, and also mentioned the difference between Longjing fragrant tea and Linjia black tea, and even creatively put forward the concept of green tea, and summarized other teas currently sold as green tea. ”
Before reading this article, Changsun Chong was very happy.
He would love to see the industry of the Chu Prince's Mansion take a hit.
Although he also knew that such an impact would not have any impact on Li Kuan, he just liked it.
But after reading the article in today's "Datang Daily", he was entangled again, so he just asked Zheng Hai if he had a problem.
Over the years, he has suffered too much from Li Kuan.
Now he feels unaccustomed to seeing the "Datang Daily" encouraging others to make black tea and develop other tea practices.
It seems that this is a new pit dug by the Chu Wangfu for followers.
If Li Kuan was here, he would definitely feel that he was wronged.
I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.
"Black tea? Green tea? Zheng Hai was stunned for a moment, "This "Datang Daily" actually put the Lin family's black tea at such a high height? ”
"yes, so I kind of feel like a kill. But it's not quite the same, because I can imagine that after this article comes out, there will definitely be a lot more people in Chang'an City to buy black tea and taste it, and there will definitely be a lot more merchants considering selling black tea. No matter from which point of view, it is not a good thing for the tea-making workshop of the Chu Palace. ”
The height of Changsun Chong's station is not as high as Li Kuan's, so naturally he can't understand Li Kuan's approach.
"It's a little strange when you say that."
Zheng Hai couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Li Kuan's gourd.
How can there be such a business?
Encourage competitors to become bigger and stronger?
Deliberately propping up an opponent to come out?
Could it be that Li Kuan had already realized that the power of the Chu Palace's mansion was too strong, and he was worried that the new monarch would take action against him after he ascended the throne, so he began to hide it?
All kinds of thoughts floated through Zheng Hai's mind.
"What's even stranger is still to come, I suggest you go back and read today's "Datang Daily" carefully. In addition to the concept of black tea and green tea, the article also mentions black tea, white tea, green tea, and yellow tea, which everyone has never heard of or seen before.
Originally, I thought it was because the tea workshop of the Chu Wangfu didn't know how to make black tea, so there was no movement during this time. I even thought that the Chu Wangfu was secretly preparing for the production of black tea during this time, but after reading this article, I was a little dizzy again. ”
Eldest Sun Chong had a confused expression on his face.
At this time, he really felt the gap in IQ.
Well, if he knew the word IQ.
"Why did the eldest grandson say that? Whether it's black tea, green tea, black tea, white tea, yellow tea, or green tea, maybe it's just a casual word made up by the writer. I also want to say that red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple tea, there are so many colors, who wouldn't make up a few. ”
Zheng Hai said comfortingly.
He really can't understand it, how can there be so many ways to do tea?
He is also a person who grew up drinking tea.
"No, Brother Zheng, it's not that I grow up others and destroy my own prestige. The classification of these six kinds of tea, the tea workshop of the Chu Wangfu should all understand, and they didn't take it out before, just because one green tea is enough for them to earn. Now that the Lin family's black tea has come out, they have brewed other tea leaves together. Because in the article, it is not just empty that there are these six kinds of tea, but simply mentions the production methods of various teas.
Just like black tea, the article said that this black tea is processed without finishing, and after withering, which is completely different from green tea, the fresh leaves lose part of the water, and then rolled, and finally fermented, they summarize black tea as fully fermented tea. This shows that they really know how to make these teas, at least black teas. ”
Eldest Sun Chong's words made Zheng Hai feel very shocked.
I can't understand this situation even more.
By doing this, didn't Li Kuan help his tea-making workshop set up countless opponents?
"If that's the case, then I think black tea, black tea, or other teas are all very interesting. As long as we don't engage in green tea, it should be very promising. ”
Zheng Hai thought for a while, and vaguely felt that he had guessed Li Kuan's thoughts.
"So, the Zheng family is also preparing to enter the tea industry?"
"Tea is very profitable, and everyone has long been red-eyed. Now that this Li Kuan is pretending to be generous, what are we polite? ”
After figuring it out, Zheng Hai showed a smile on his face.
