Chapter 163 [Countless painstaking foreshadowing, just to harvest the world]
Why does Li Yun make tea?
Because he knows that this thing is guaranteed to make a fortune, and it is a money-grabbing kind of fortune......
Tea and silk are even more profitable than salt and iron!
……
Tea was a symbol of aristocratic power during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and in the Jin and Jin dynasties, it was still the exclusive use of scholars and doctors, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty that the people gradually tasted it.
But in this era, what was drunk was not tea, but tea that was boiled like soup, and the tea leaves were not the kind seen in later generations, but mashed into balls and then made into black tea bricks.
When boiling tea, you have to add all kinds of condiments, what salt, sesame oil, spices, like a hodgepodge, only later generations can't think of it, no ancient people can't do it, if you are lucky enough to cross the Tang Dynasty, and there are still two dollars in your pocket to drink tea and pretend to be forced, congratulations, you will vomit......
Boiling tea is so unpalatable, it has been popular in the Tang Dynasty, up to the emperor and the king, down to the people of Limin, seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea.
The northern and western regions prefer tea, because the staple food of these peoples is meat, tea can overcome greasy, and nomads simply do not enjoy tea.
Now, Li Yun has come up with clear tea!
……
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, shoot, shoot quickly, this tea, this tea, this tea is the real treasure......"
At the entrance of a cup of tea, the trading compound was boiling, countless people looked eagerly at the high platform, and many merchants from the Western Regions almost roared.
Merchants are the most perceptive group of people.
If this tea is transported back to the Western Regions, it can be regarded as gold.
"You all want to get rich, don't you? Very well, then you will make me a fortune first......"
Li Yun stood on the high platform with his hands in his hands, taking in everyone's expressions, and waited until the atmosphere was completely set off, he said leisurely: "The third treasure is a strange person who was passed on to this king when he was young, I tried to make it today, named Youlan Tufang, you want to buy it very much, and this king also wants to sell it, but this tea process is complicated, and the annual output will not be too much, so ......"
He deliberately pulled a long cavity when he said this.
"It's expensive, it doesn't matter!"
The businessmen were extremely up-to-date, and almost yelled and answered: "Expensive is the treasure, expensive is the enjoyment, His Royal Highness King Zhao should not delay, start filming, start filming immediately......"
"Good!"
Li Yun nodded heavily, since the leeks were in a hurry to be cut, it was really a bit impossible for him to cooperate again.
He took out another booklet from his arms, opened it and read it aloud: "Youlan Tufang, a total of fifty copies, each copy is about one tael, the reserve price is set at ten yuan, there is no upper limit for each price increase, let's start bidding now." ”
After saying this, I thought it would cause a sensation, but the audience suddenly fell silent, and many people frowned obviously.
Why?
Because there are so few!
There is less tea and less price.
There are fifty servings in total, and each serving is only one or two, and even if all of them are bought by one person, they add up to only five catties. The price is also small, so small that it is surprising, one or two teas are set for ten, which is completely inconsistent with the identity of tea.
When things go wrong, they are bound to raise suspicions.
After a long time, someone opened his mouth to inquire, and said with hesitation: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Zhao, your tea ...... Is this tea out of stock? ”
This must be asked!
If it is out of stock, it is only this batch, and if it is only this batch, then the bidding price increase needs to be ruthless.
Li Yun smiled and said lightly: "Although it is not out of stock, but it is not much, this king tells you so, this tea production is very small, and it requires an extremely complex process, when picking, you must climb the mountain without breaking the body, and then use the tip of the tongue to hold the tea leaves in the mouth, and then, the hands are gentle, containing fragrant ......"
When he said this, he suddenly didn't say anything, because he was all bragging, and he couldn't make it up, so he could only laugh and say: "Don't say it, don't say it, if you talk about it, it will reveal the secret recipe, in short, you remember that the output of this tea is very small." ”
Many people give each other a look.
Li Yun said: "In addition to the production problem, there are also sales reasons, this king has decided, this tea will only be auctioned once, today's price I will write on the pavilion wooden card, as the guide price of Youlan Tufang, from today onwards, this tea will no longer be auctioned, you want to buy in the future, you can only order according to the price of the attic wooden brand, the order is not necessarily there, and you have to wait in line after paying the money." ”
Boy!
Hunger marketing in later generations.
However, how can people in this era withstand this kind of impact if they have not gone through?
But when he saw a merchant from the Western Regions, he stood up abruptly and shouted loudly: "Five hundred pieces of tea per serving, and I want all fifty pieces of tea." ”
Ruthless enough!
It's greedy enough.
Li Yunding's reserve price is ten times, and this businessman has directly doubled fifty times.
Five hundred taels each, fifty portions is twenty-five thousand, and these money can buy two or three hundred bullocks, and even war horses can buy dozens of them.
However, Li Yun smiled and said to him a little apologetically: "I forgot to say just now, no one can only limit one shot." ”
The merchant was stunned.
Li Yun continued: "In order to express the king's apology, and to reward you for the first bid, this king is willing to sell you a tea for 500 yuan, believe me, you have made a lot of money......"
The merchant has indeed made a lot of money!
Because in the next tea auction, none of them was less than 800 guan, and the higher it went, the higher it was, and finally even exceeded 1,000 guan.
It sounds like a myth to buy a tea tael for a thousand times, but the people who buy it don't think so, especially the merchants from the Western Regions who have spent a lot of money.
These teas, transported back, are no longer eligible for civilians to enjoy.
These teas will inevitably lead the trend at the top of the entire Western Regions.
Think about it!
When a businessman invited a royal nobleman to a banquet, he suddenly took out a thousand taels of tea, brewed with hot water, with a light fragrance, and a cup of tea was worth at least dozens of yuan, such a banquet was of such a high standard.
Whether in ancient times or in later generations, people who drink this kind of tea will never have to pay for it themselves, and what about a thousand guan and one tael, even if it is ten thousand and one tael, someone dares to buy it.
The higher the price, the more scramble it will be.
……
Fifty servings of tea were sold out in the blink of an eye.
Li Yun took the book and calculated for a long time, looked up and smiled at the audience, and said leisurely: "Youlan Tufang, fifty thousand taels, a total of 40,000 yuan, each two is equivalent to an average price of 800 yuan......"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and suddenly beckoned to the back, and everyone saw a girl floating on the stage, who was the Linglong princess of the steppe Turks.
Linglong was holding an extremely delicate small wooden plaque in his hand, which had been carved with the four small characters of 'Youlan Tufang', Li Yun picked up the wooden plaque and held it above his head, slowly changing the direction and showing it to everyone to see.
At this time, Linglong took out the golden knife from his arms, and engraved the words 'Eight Hundred Times Price' on the bottom part of the wooden card, Li Yun showed it to everyone again, and then Linglong took the wooden card and climbed the wooden pavilion.
This is the world's first trading price card, after Li Yun's countless wrists paving and accentuation, so far finally brewed out, it was Linglong hung in the first row of the high wall of the wooden pavilion.
As this sign was hung out, more than a dozen small servants appeared, and they also held wooden signs in their hands, and they climbed the ladder to hang the wooden signs.
In the blink of an eye, there were already more than a dozen wooden plaques on the high wall, each of which was engraved with small characters, all of which were the names of the goods that participated in today's auction.
Under the name of the goods, there is also an engraved transaction price at that time, which is clearly understood when you look at it.
Li Yun's voice covered the audience again, and said leisurely: "Today's auction, this is the end, the sky is snowing in the evening, dare to ask for a drink, all the guests and friends who come from afar, the trading center has a warm pavilion like spring, wine and food, orchid singing and dancing, if you are not in a hurry to go back to the inn to stay, do not linger here, drink a glass of green ant wine, invite three or five good friends, talk about the day, talk about things, how fast, if you don't like to socialize, you are worried about business, then you can also go up to the second floor of the wooden pavilion, watch the current price of each wooden card, Don't blame this king for a reminder, this wooden card will make many people rich in the future......"
In fact, there is no need to say it, many merchants have flocked to the wooden pavilion, and the merchants are the most shrewd group of people, how can they not see the role of the current price of this wooden card?
This wooden sign will be a barometer of the price of goods in the whole world in the future.
For businessmen, always paying attention to the attic wooden card will be a must in the future, and many people have made up their minds to get the heirs of the family to keep an eye on this matter.
For Li Yun, it is another role, the establishment of the current price of the wooden card is the beginning of his control of the world's business.
……
Time flies, half a month, Fanyang Trading Center is holding auctions every day, and there are more and more wooden signs on the high walls of the attic.
From the initial dozen pieces, it gradually became more than a hundred, and from more than a hundred, to more than a thousand.
It's a terrifying rate of increase, and it's finally starting to show its power.
When the number of wooden cards exceeds 1,000, no one can stop the development of attic wooden cards, and a thousand wooden cards represent a thousand kinds of goods.
Being able to react to the price fluctuations of a thousand kinds of goods at any time is a miracle in this era.
And over time, the number of wooden cards continues to increase.
There is gradually a group of special people in the Fanyang Trading Center.
These people are called copyists!
They get up early every day, their eyes are eagerly waiting at the door of the wooden pavilion, once the wooden pavilion opens the door, these people rush in, they all hold paper and pen books in their hands, their eyes are staring at the high wall without blinking, whenever there is a small servant to change the price of the wooden card, these people immediately lie on the ground and work hard to write.
This process lasts about an hour.
Then the crowd swarmed out again, standing at the door of the trading center with pen and paper in their arms.
Soon, the merchants who participated in the auction appeared.
These copyists stood proudly in place, constantly examining the mannerisms and clothing of the merchants, and only those who were generous could be qualified to win their smiles.
The next step was to negotiate the price, and the merchants spent money to buy the booklet they copied, which recorded the replacement of the attic wooden plaque, so that the merchants could be confident about today's business.
If you want to make money in Fanyang Trading Center, this is a compulsory course that all businessmen must go through.
The high-walled wooden sign is already unstoppable.
At this time, Li Yun finally began to show his fangs, and he wanted to try the energy of the high-walled wooden plaque to see if he could really control the business way.
