Chapter 445: I've Told You Everything
"Hey, in the end, it's the old rivers and lakes, you can see at a glance the real needs of those people on the grassland to buy this tea!" Li Dongsheng said with a smile.
Xiao Xiao said blankly: "Real needs? ”
Mu Zhonghai said with a smile: "The reason why the herdsmen on the grassland like tea is actually very simple, that is, to relieve oiliness. Because the herdsmen on the grassland eat meat all year round, but if they eat too much meat, they will be constipated, have no appetite, etc., and tea can treat the problems caused by eating meat all year round, so for the herdsmen on the grassland, tea is actually a necessary medicine! ”
"Tea still has such medicinal effects? Xiao Li's eyes lit up: "Then can we publicize it?" ”
"It's only useful to the herdsmen who eat meat a lot on the grassland, and we eat grain, so what's the meaning of publicity." Mu Zhonghai said with a smile: "So the people on the grassland have the most direct demand for tea, so they don't care about the taste and quality of tea, I will supply them with such a kind of tea, and after a long time, they think that tea is like this." ”
Xiao Lian listened to Mu Zhonghai's words and admired the essence of his profiteer: "Dongsheng, this Hu brother is too powerful." Put out the price of good tea leaves that no one wants. Hurry up and introduce me to know, so I must learn more from people, I used to think that I was very good at business, but now I know that people are afraid of my Xiao family, and my own ability is still very small. ”
Li Dongsheng introduced them, and Xiao Yan thought for a while and asked, "Then where are the guests in the Western Regions, what are their needs?" ”
"You have to ask Brother Mu about this! He specializes in this business, and no one knows this need better than him for decades! ”
"The Great Sui and the Tang Dynasty are prosperous places compared to the Great Food and so many small countries in the Western Regions, the silk and porcelain of the Tang Dynasty are outrageously expensive in the Western Regions, wearing silk and porcelain at home, which is a decoration only for the aristocracy and a symbol of their status. Everyone is proud of it. The main reason is that the road is far away, and things are scarce and expensive. Mu Zhonghai told Xiao Li: "So the same is true of tea, the taste of tea is very good, and it also has a lot of benefits for the human body, so the nobles of the Western Regions drink not tea, but their identity and status, so the quality of tea is not particularly important to them!" ”
"Quality doesn't matter? So what do I have to work so hard for? Xiao Yan was also depressed.
"You don't study seriously, what you just said is exported, the customers are herdsmen and the Western Regions, and the main customer base of our graded tea is Datang, of course it is different." Li Dongsheng said angrily.
"Yes, yes! Let's go eat first! Xiao Yan was embarrassed to be sprayed, so he had to change the topic.
After the summer tea was harvested, Li Dongsheng was ready to go to other places to have a look. So many newcomers came, and I sowed them like seeds, and now it's time to see the results of their work.
The hall of the Wu family in Wuxi was full of people. People are divided into groups, and things are gathered by like. Those who can sit in this hall are all big families like the Wu family. Everyone was smiling and obviously happy.
As the host, of course, Master Wu Cheng was the first to speak: "Everyone, the people from the Tea Division have come to my home to measure the land. I didn't know I had a 3,000 acres of land, haha. ”
"Then you're going to pay more taxes this year! Why are you still jubilant? It was Gu Qi who spoke, and he was not afraid of being tired and came so far to Wuxi.
"Hell there's the money you pay for taxes!" Wu Cheng has now seen the prospect: "Do you know how much money I have sold tea in the past few months? Guess what? ”
"Five hundred?"
"Eight hundred?"
"A thousand?"
said a few, but when he saw Wu Cheng's eyes, he knew that it was wrong, and someone guessed five thousand ruthlessly, but it was not right. Gu Qi said: "It won't be more than 10,000, right?" ”
"Brother Gu guessed right! Sold 13,000 kan in more than two months! This new tea is amazing! Wu Chengdao: "Basically, the supply exceeds demand, I tell you, you all go buy a license, don't regret it when the time comes." It's true! ”
"Hey, I'll talk about this later, if you want a license, you have to measure the land, tea is to make money, but the land is our lifeblood, how can you give him a random amount!" It was an elder of the Wang family who spoke.
"You guys, you just don't have a long-term vision. Let me tell you, that Li Dongsheng is not too ruthless, it is estimated that he is a character who can complete the task, you must seize the opportunity. It's just a matter of a few hundred acres, and it's not a lot of money. Wu Cheng seemed to be kind to them.
"Brother Wu, don't talk so much nonsense. Can we sell the tea elsewhere now? How much can you give? "It was a young man who spoke, a direct son of the Yuan family. was attracted by the sales volume that Wu Cheng just said.
"When I came back, I looked at the license, and it was only for me to sell in Wuxi, as long as I sold it in other places, I would be fined and confiscated, and I would have to arrest people. It's very risky. Wu Chengdao: "I suspect that Li Dongsheng deliberately left this loophole to trap us?" ”
"Brother Wu, you make money watching tea, don't you want to take us to play?" A middle-aged man in his forties twisted his beard and said: "You are telling us to buy the license ourselves, don't forget, your license was bought by all of us at our expense, and you are just a name." ”
"I'm for your good, he has already publicized this monopoly policy very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, you want to take it back and sell it, I have no opinion, but if it is discovered, it will be a big trouble!" Wu Cheng still said bitterly: "You can't be blinded by interests, and when the time comes, you will be taken away." ”
"Afraid of what? What if he takes it? Just a few of his kittens came to our house to arrest people? There is not even a law enforcement team. To transfer the officials of the Shi Mansion and the county government to inspect and inspect, we waited for the news as soon as possible, and as soon as the things were transferred, how could he arrest them without evidence? ”
"Okay, okay, Uncle Wu Shi, I know that you are for our good, but now that the limelight has not been decided, how can we give him our land. Let's try to sell some tea in private, and as far as our connections are concerned, I believe that the tea department can't find out at all, so you don't have to worry. Let's start with this month's dividend. Don't bother with the rest, we are all locals, and we are afraid that he will be an outsider. ”。
"Alas, then let you go, I'll tell you everything anyway, don't say I'm not kind when the time comes." Wu Cheng sighed and said: "This is the account book for selling tea, you are right." If there is no problem, the dividends will be shared! ”
When sending them out, Wu Cheng looked at their backs and smiled: "Hehe, I've said everything in front, you can only blame yourself for being greedy if something happens!" Is Li Dongsheng's cheapness so easy to take advantage of? ”
