Chapter 12 There is a way to make money
"Champion Red?" Wang Ou chewed on the name and probably guessed a little bit of Li Mu's meaning, but she didn't say it, but waited for Li Mu to answer.
"That's right! Champion Red! He poured another glass of wine, picked up the wine glass and spun it, the red wine rippled in the glass, and said: "Originally, I didn't plan to tinker with this wine, but recently I heard some rumors, some people said that the wine in the Bashang wine shop is vulgar, and only relies on the strength of the wine to attract some reckless people, and the real literati disdain to drink it...... I pondered, people have a point, literati and scholars, you have to drink something different. Therefore, on the basis of rice wine, I developed this new rice wine, and in order to match the aspirations of the literati, I named it Zhuangyuan Hong, and I did what I liked. ”
Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai didn't hear anything, they didn't understand these things, but Wang Ou confirmed what they thought. She has also heard the 'rumors' that Li Mu said. The original source of this news was Guozijian.
Guozijian Priest Kong Yingda suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Mu, and kept saying that he was sick and bedridden at home, and Guozijian was deeply ashamed. But they are scholars, and although they are angry in their hearts, they dare to be angry but dare not speak. The bright ones can't come, they can only come to the dark ones, everyone knows that there are Li Mu's members in the Bashang Wine Workshop, so they want to try to make everyone regard the wine produced by the Ba Shang Wine Workshop as a 'reckless' wine by slandering the three cups, which is best to ruin the reputation of the Ba Shang Wine Workshop and completely cut off Li Mu's financial route.
But in Wang Ou's view, this is all a child's move and is completely unworthy of attention. After knowing Li Mu, she bought the wine from Bashang Wine Workshop and tasted it, the wine is indeed good wine, no matter how much these students slander it, I'm afraid it will be useless.
She didn't expect Li Mu to be more serious, and she also specially developed a new wine for this purpose. This kind of behavior doesn't seem to be ripe. But it must be admitted that this new wine tastes much better than ordinary rice wine. Compared with the three glasses poured on the naba, it is a little more soft and sweet, and the unique reddish wine color will definitely be popular if it is sold in the market.
Li Mu named it 'Zhuangyuan Hong', which is a stroke of genius. The emperor issued a decree a month ago, and in the coming year, the first imperial examination since his accession to the throne will be held. That is to say, after Sun Fujia, the first champion in the Wude period, the second champion in the Zhenguan period is about to appear.
At this time, there is a wine called 'Zhuangyuan Red', can the students buy a jar to taste?
"I don't know how much does Master Hou plan to sell for this kind of wine?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Since this wine is named after the champion, of course it can't be cheap." It must be more expensive than the crude three cups, I think, ten times a jar is about the same. ”
"Ten times?" This time, not only Wang Ou, but Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai also understood, Li Mu actually wanted to sell wine to ten jars, is this selling wine? It's gold!
Wang Ou has been doing business for so many years, and he has never seen anyone like Li Mu doing business, so he was worried that he would be frustrated, so he kindly reminded: "Master Hou, those students are not particularly rich in their hands. Even if you are a child of a family of gate valves, I am afraid that you can't afford to drink this jar of ten yuan of wine. If you set the price so high, I'm afraid that the sales will have an impact. ”
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there is only one champion, and of course not everyone can drink wine." I'm a person who has always been at home in business, and a person who can spend so much money on this kind of wine, even if he can't be the real champion, I have to make him the champion of wine. If the price is not higher, how can he appear to be the champion of wine? Saying that, Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to sell it." ”
Hearing Li Mu say this, Wang Ou stopped persuading. If there is another person, Wang Ou will definitely think that this person is extremely stupid, but the person who said this is Li Mu, she has another idea, although she is not optimistic, but she also faintly feels that Li Mu may be able to do it, because Li Mu has done a lot of things that make people feel impossible.
When it came to the topic of doing business, Li Mu remembered that he discussed with Bai Qiaoqiao a few days ago about opening a shop. Although Li Mu is in business, his business, whether it is a winery or a horse farm, is not a model of store operation, and he does not know much about how to open a shop. And Wang Ou is an expert in this, Li Mu heard Cheng Yanjin say that Wang Ou's business is very big, and there are shops in Luoyang, Chang'an, so it should be right to ask her opinion.
"Sister Wang, a few days ago, she coincidentally discussed with me, she was bored at home and wanted to open a shop, according to you, which location is suitable in Chang'an City now?"
When Wang Ou heard that Bai Qiaoqiao was going to open a shop, her brows furrowed slightly, and the first thought in her heart was, can this work?
Judging from the few times she has been in contact with Bai Qiaoqiao, Bai Qiaoqiao doesn't seem to be able to do business, first, she is too happy and angry, and everything is shown on her face, which is a taboo in business. Moreover, she doesn't have so many calculations, no intention to hurt others, and no heart to defend against others. And in the matter of doing business, it is absolutely impossible to do without calculation, and when necessary, things that harm people must also be done, and the heart of guarding against people cannot be left without for a moment. She herself has been walking on thin ice all the way, is it white Qiaoqiao...... She didn't think it would work.
But Li Mu asked, she couldn't say these words, hesitated, and asked, "I don't know what kind of business the coincidental girl plans to do?" ”
Li Mu looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't speak, how could she think about these things, she thought that Li Mu would arrange it, and Li Mu didn't have time to think about it these days, Wang Ou asked, until he stopped asking him, for a long time, he said: "I didn't think about it...... Is there a kind of business that is more relaxed and not tired, and makes more money? ”
When Wang Ou heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. How can there be such a good thing in this world, it is easy to make money without getting tired...... After pondering for a while, Wang Ou said euphemistically: "If you want to say that you can make a lot of money without being tired, rouge gouache is in line with it, but this rouge gouache, people who buy it pay more attention to time-honored brands, and many of the secret methods of blending are the secrets of each family, and it is difficult to enter the industry if you want to do it all of a sudden...... I'm afraid it will be criticized, if Qiaoqiao girl can't stay idle at home, it's better to take care of the silk shop with me, just join a little bit, and the slave family will share half of the profits. ”
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Sister Wang misunderstood, I now have a wine shop in front of me and a horse farm in the back, which is not a daily gold fight." I can't spend all the money I earn, and I don't need Qiaoqiao to make money, so I asked Qiaoqiao to open this shop, mainly to relieve her boredom. She's a homemaker, and I find it boring to stay all day, so I want to find something for her to do. As for the criticism, do you think I'll care? ”
Wang Ou smiled and did not speak. Although what Li Mu said is indeed true, Wang Ou is not the master who is short of money, and her business is also making money every day, so there is nothing to envy. And in her opinion, at Li Mu's age, saying such a thing is not without a bit of ostentatiousness, and in the end it is still a teenager's heart.
"Rouge gouache ......" Li Mu muttered, and suddenly remembered one thing, when he watched the crossing in his previous life, no matter what dynasty he traveled to, the protagonist would take out the necessary things to earn the first pot of gold. Thinking of this thing, he had a plan in his heart, and said: "Sister Wang, if there is something like water, a few drops on the body, it can exude a lasting floral fragrance...... Can such a thing be sold? ”
Wang Ou had never heard of such a thing, but she thought about it according to Li Mu's description and said, "If there is still a fragrance of flowers after winter, it will naturally be quite popular with women." Just, is there such a thing? ”
"Right away." Li Mu said confidently: "Not now, but I can study it and try to do it, if it succeeds, we will have something to sell when we open a store, and it will be unique." ”
Wang Ou really doesn't know where Li Mu's self-confidence comes from, something that doesn't exist at all, how can he think he can make it? She glanced at Bai Qiaoqiao beside Li Mu, and found that there was no trace of doubt in her eyes, which was even more incomprehensible. Could it be that Li Mu likes her because he believes everything Bai Qiaoqiao says? Such a stupid reason?
After eating, Wang Ou took his leave. She still has a lot to do, and the purpose of coming here today has been accomplished, and there is no point in staying. Li Mu kept sending her to the door, and asked her what flowers she liked, Wang Ou casually said a peony, but he didn't think he could really do it. Because there are no peony flowers in this season, only dried flowers, which are dried in the sun during the flower season and kept as sachets. But if Li Mu wants to sell sachets, this business will definitely not be done. In the east and west cities of Chang'an, I don't know how many dried flowers have been saved, which are worthless. And among the people, there is no habit of buying sachets, they all buy dried flowers to make a sachet to wear, this thing has to be sold in a shop, I'm afraid no one will patronize it.
Wang Ou wanted to remind Li Mu several times, but in the end he didn't say it. Li Mu had a smooth journey, he had no failures, and it was not a good thing to suffer a small loss and have a long memory. Thinking like this, Wang Ou thought of Li Mu's annoyance after losing money in business, and when he looked at him, he smiled even more.
Li Mu watched Wang Ou's carriage leave, but his heart was a little hairy. Why is this eldest sister full of 'aunt smile', although according to age, she is more than ten years older than herself, and it is nothing to be kind, but judging from Wang Ou's appearance, this is a bit strange. In the previous life, those who liked 'little fresh meat' mother fans all had this kind of smile. Li Mu was worried in his heart, could it be that my 'little fresh meat' temperament also crossed over with me?
I have escaped to the Tang Dynasty and still can't escape the infatuation of young women, life is really difficult!
