Chapter 66: The Popularity of New Tea (2) (3rd Update)

Rich and unbeatable? This is obviously impossible.

Let's not mention that among the profits of this new tea, He Fu only accounts for 30%, even if it is a daily profit of 10,000 yuan, He Fu can only divide 3,000 yuan. There is also a Shouwang Mansion on it that accounts for the lion's share, so although He Mansion will also make a lot of money, it will definitely not make as much as Shouwang Mansion.

And it is not possible to maintain such a high profit every day.

Do you really want to buy a pound of tea and drink it all in one day? If a pound of tea is given to one person, it is estimated that it will take a year, so it is impossible to maintain such a high profit every day.

Although those wealthy families have a large demand for tea, purchasing dozens or hundreds of catties of tea a year is already considered to be the sky. Tea was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, but not everyone could drink it, the host must drink the best tea, and ordinary people just drank ordinary tea. And the profit is not the same between good tea and ordinary tea.

In order to sell ordinary tea, the price must not be too expensive, and the profit of one pound is far less than that of good tea, because ordinary tea depends on the quantity to earn profits.

However, the popularity of new tea has only just begun. Within two days, many people knew that the emperor loved to drink the tea of He's Tea House, and the officials below who had participated in the previous court meeting also liked this new style of tea, so the whole court set off a trend of drinking new tea.

For the same tea, the tea leaves of He's Tea House are better than the tea leaves of other tea houses, although the price is slightly expensive, but because the actual weight is sufficient, the overall calculation is not much more expensive. In this way, many families have begun to drink the new tea produced by He's Tea House.

In ancient times, things used by the upper classes were easily sought after, let alone used by the royal family. Therefore, the trend of drinking new tea has spread from the officials of the DPRK and China to ordinary people, although the speed of this diffusion is slow, but it does not need Li Ye to vigorously publicize it, and those who think that the new tea is delicious will naturally help him publicize it.

The new tea is so popular, of course, it has aroused the greed of many people, and they all want to come in and get a piece of the pie. Some ill-intentioned people set their sights on the He Tea House, but after they found out the background of the He Mansion, they all died down.

Who would have thought that He Fu's niece was actually the future Princess Shou, and the tea leaves of He's Tea House were not produced by He Fu himself, but from Shou Wangfu's manor outside the city. Thinking of why this new tea came out of the palace, many people speculated that it was definitely related to King Shou.

He's Tea House has such a deep background, who would dare to do it? As for going to Shouwangfu's manor outside the city to find the recipe for making new tea, after throwing out a lot of nameless corpses in Shouwangfu's manor, no one dared to make a mistake.

"I didn't expect this tea to be made by King Shou, so our family said that His Majesty would give this kind of tea to the ministers at that court meeting." After finding out the background of He's Tea House, Tian Lingzi was quite surprised, not to mention, the tea in the teacup in front of him was indeed much better than before.

"I heard that this tea is very profitable, and I spent thousands of times to buy tea during this time." He felt distressed when he thought of the money he had spent on buying tea.

The reason why he spent so much money was not because he bought a large quantity, but because he bought some good tea. The price of good tea is naturally expensive, and it is all priceless, because there are so many quantities.

"Master, we can find a way to snatch this business over, does King Shou still dare to offend the old man and the third master?" A middle-aged man who looks like a housekeeper next to him is yin**.

"This method is good, it really doesn't work, we can send someone to the manor outside Shouwang City to find out." Thinking of the huge profits of this tea, Chen Jingxuan felt itchy in his heart.

"Don't mess around with this." Hearing that his second brother wanted to mess around without thinking about it, Tian Lingzi hurriedly stopped it.

"What's wrong? Third brother? It's a good deal to make money. Chen Jingxuan was puzzled.

Tian Lingzi shook his head, "This matter is not so simple, our family is worried that His Majesty will also have a part in it." ”

"What? No, how could Your Majesty... Chen Jingxuan couldn't believe it, but thinking that the emperor had done a lot of unusual things, it didn't seem strange to have a kick in this.

"We have to investigate this matter, if Your Majesty really has a part in it, this matter can only be stopped. You also know Your Majesty's temperament, if we sabotage this matter, King Shou will go to His Majesty to complain again, and our two brothers don't want to have good fruits to eat. In fact, thinking of some of the emperor's actions before, he has already determined in his heart that the emperor is cooperating with King Shou in this matter, and with the other party's temper, it is not unusual to do this kind of thing.

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, this is the income of our tea house during this time, nearly 40,000 yuan. He Fu will also send this month's profits, about 140,000 yuan。。。。。 ”

Hearing this number, although Li Ye was already prepared in his heart, he was still a little surprised when he really heard it. The 140,000 guan sent by He Fu must have deducted the 30,000 yuan profit that He Fu should have received, which means that in this month's time, Xincha will make a profit of 240,000 guan.

That's a lot of money!

40,000 is the profit of the Li Tea House opened by Shouwangfu itself, which is very different from the scale of He's Tea House, and Shouwangfu's own tea house is only opened in the West Market.

In order to avoid vicious internal competition, Li's Tea House sells all good tea, although the amount is not large, but the profit is quite high. And it is only sold in Chengdu Mansion, and the markets outside Chengdu Mansion are handed over to He Mansion, and they have their own channels in the surrounding areas, which is much faster than Shou Wangfu to develop by himself.

Of course, because it is the beginning, and the customers who bought the tea before will not buy it again in a short time, and the speed of spreading to the surrounding area is not very fast, so except for the profit in the first month, the profit will be high, and the time will be reduced.

But according to Li Ye's estimates, it is no problem to maintain a profit of 100,000 yuan per month in the future, and the real outbreak period should be next year, after all, this new tea is only hot in Chengdu Province, and this year it will expand to the Xichuan area at most, and it will spread to other places for a longer time. Therefore, in the later period, in terms of tea, Li Ye only needs to keep the know-how of roasting tea and not let others know the production process of new tea, so that the profits will continue to flow.

"Tell us to go down, reward each of the people of the manor with two pieces of money, and let the guards keep an eye on it, so that no one outside knows our secrets." Li Ye is not a stingy person, those workers in the manor are his treasures, after this period of training, he has become very skilled in technology, if he is poached by others because of stinginess, Li Ye will lose a lot.

At present, there are a lot of people who are greedy for the new tea business, you know, at present, the new tea of He's Tea House and Li's Tea House monopolize 4% of the tea business in Chengdu Prefecture. There is a saying that 'cutting off people's wealth is like killing the enemy's hatred, and they don't share the sky'.

Li Ye believes that with the gradual promotion of new tea, the other 60% of the market in Chengdu will soon be eroded. At present, there are only two new tea companies selling, which is actually a monopoly. Li Ye didn't dare to imagine how big the monopoly profit was, but as long as other tea merchants did not produce tea comparable to the tea produced by him, then this monopoly position could be maintained forever.

In fact, Li Ye prefers to be a producer, that is, to buy fresh tea from various tea gardens, and then make it into tea, and as for sales, it is handed over to others. In this way, although you may earn less, you will have a lot less trouble. It's just that at present, Li Ye doesn't plan to do this for the time being.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiaoying nodded and wrote down Li Ye's instructions.

Xiaoying is now more and more involved in some affairs of the palace, perhaps inheriting her father's business talent, even if the other party is not very old, but her ability to deal with these businesses has also begun to show, and she is developing in the direction of a strong woman. Since he can do it well, he is also willing to involve the other party in these things.

"By the way, after He Fu sends the profits, he will take out 60,000 yuan, and this king will use it for other purposes."

These 60,000 guan were naturally given away, and the objects of the gift were obviously Li Yi and Yang Fugong. Li Yi, the money-greedy imperial brother, has been urging, although Yang Fugong has not urged, but seeing the new tea so popular, he must be greedy in his heart, if Li Ye gives it once a year, I don't know what chaos will happen.

Since He Fu has already sent the first profit over, he has to send it to Li Yi and the others as soon as possible. Thinking that the money was going to be given away before he saw it, Li Ye also felt a little cut in his heart.

Just when Li Ye was dealing with these trivial matters, Sun Ye and Sima Zheng Ningji, who were the chief historians of the palace, came together.

As soon as he saw the expressions of these two people, Li Ye knew that it was definitely not a good thing, so he sent Xiaoying and the others away.
