Chapter 157 Attached to Anfu

Li Hui, Wang Quanlai didn't realize anything in the short time he came to the house, but Qingyun and Jin Feng felt that the peaceful temperament in front of them suddenly changed, and the previous lazy temperament was swept away, and the whole person was a little more confident and excited. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

With Anhe's instructions, coupled with Li Hui's ability to do things, but in just a few days, Li Hui sent people to buy a lot of tea, and Li Hui's tea workshop had already started, and the location of the workshop was set up in Anzhai.

"Lord, according to what you said, the three-pot connected fried tea stove has been built, and now the efficiency has increased several times at once, sixty workers can produce about 120 catties of tea every day, of which 4 catties of raw tea can produce one catty of tea, the output of the tea garden plus the purchased tea, about nearly 10,000 catties, so calculated, about more than a month to make all the tea."

Li Hui happily reported to An He the current situation of the tea workshop.

Anhe used a pot to fry tea in a pot before, and from time to time to adjust the temperature in the pot, but when roasting tea on a large scale, this method was inefficient, so Anhe said the method of connecting three pots to fry tea, and Li Hui implemented it, and the efficiency was increased several times.

"Well, yes, the reward system for workers must be implemented to the letter, and they will be paid five cents for every pound of tea they make, so as to fully mobilize their enthusiasm!"

An He was very satisfied, but still did not forget to remind Li Hui not to withhold the workers' rewards. In order to increase the amount of roasted tea as much as possible and avoid the workers in the workshop from being passive and slacking off, Anhe decided to implement a reward system at that time, giving workers five cents for every pound of tea made.

"The prince is generous to the workers, and the villain admires him very much, and he will never deduct the wages of the workers, please rest assured!" Li Hui said with a resolute face.

Li Hui, as the head of the workshop, gave him a monthly salary of 10 hangs, which was twice as much as he came to work in the house, and Li Hui was of course so happy that he couldn't speak.

Anhe tasted the new tea fried in the tea workshop and found that it was much better than his own fried tea, which made Anhe very satisfied. Before he could rest for a while. Li Hui asked to see him again.

"Ah Lang, the seller of the new tea has been found, and I specially brought him to meet you today!"

The status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty is very low, 'scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants' are ranked last, and commerce is regarded as a cheap industry.

"Oh, you can just call the shots for this kind of trivial matter, you don't need to bring someone to see me!"

An He is a little strange, it stands to reason that a businessman doesn't need him to meet in person anyway, Li Hui, as the housekeeper of An Zhai, shouldn't make this kind of mistake?

"Ah Lang, this merchant wants to be attached to the door of our Anfu, so I would like to ask Ah Lang to meet him personally!"

Li Hui's face was a little embarrassed, and his speech was a little slurred. "Does this Wang family have anything to do with you?" An He asked.

Sure enough, Li Hui nodded very awkwardly and said:

"Ah Lang Yingming, nothing can escape your eyes, this Li Zhuang is indeed a distant cousin of mine, but please rest assured, in business, I must be Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, and I treat other merchants the same."

Now this Li Hui has also figured out An He's temper, and he is much bolder, and he has the courage to say what he didn't dare to say before.

As I have said before, the status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty is extremely low, not to mention princes and nobles, even ordinary people are unwilling to engage in business, but the huge profits generated by commerce are very eye-catching, so rich businessmen are in a position of being slaughtered in society, and they are harassed or blackmailed from time to time. In order to get rid of this slaughtered position, various merchants have looked for backers, attached their industries to the name of the wealthy Wang family, and sent a large amount of silver money as a reward every year, and the wealthy Wang family provided shelter for them. In this way, the wealthy Wang family got the money they needed, and the merchants were able to develop their business safely by virtue of the fame of the wealthy Wang family, which was a win-win situation.

The Wang family was originally one of the top ten wealthy merchants in Chang'an City, and the family industry was also one of the best in Chang'an City, originally attached to the house of Ying Guogong Wu Shi Yan, Wu Shi Yan was originally one of Li Yuan's most trusted ministers, but after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Ying Guogong's power was not as good as a day, and the business of the Wang family was also affected, and the business was not as good as a day.

"Let him in!" An He commanded to Gao Zhong.

Anyway, whoever is asked to do it is also to do it, it is better to give Li Hui a favor. "Villain Wang Yusheng, participate in An Ye!"

As soon as the visitor followed Li Huigang in, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.

An He looked at the head of the Wang family and found that he was about thirty years old, with a square face and long beard that looked very elegant, and he didn't look like a businessman at all, but like a scholar who came to Chang'an to take the exam. Although this Wang Yusheng was respectful, his expression was always very calm, and his eyes were staring at the ground and never looking at An He.

"Hehe, Mr. Wang is polite, please get up quickly! Qingyun, serve tea to Mr. Wang! ”

An He's smiling face was like a flower, and he quickly helped the person up, and the freshly brewed tea was also served.

Wang Yusheng was obviously taken aback by An He's enthusiastic attitude, and sat down helplessly and didn't dare to move, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

"Mr. Wang, presumably Li Hui has already told you the reason for inviting you here, right?" An He took a sip of tea and thought about it, and then spoke.

"An Ye killed the villain, the villain of the word Mr. is ashamed, the prince said that a certain Lin Sheng is!"

As soon as Wang Yusheng heard An He ask, he immediately stood up and bowed and replied:

"Before I came, my cousin had already told the villain, saying that you had made a batch of new tea and wanted to hand it over to the villain for sale!"

"Well, yes, the one next to you is the freshly made tea, can you taste it and see how it tastes?" An He raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then began to speak.

Wang Yusheng sat down honestly, picked up the teacup and looked at the tea, then put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, then took a small sip, then closed his eyes and tasted it, suddenly opened his eyes, and praised loudly:

"Good tea! The color of this tea soup is turquoise and transparent, the tea fragrance is deep and pleasant, the taste is slightly bitter and then sweet, it is a rare good tea! ”

"Hehe, Lin Sheng is really a person who knows tea, with your understanding of the market, how should this tea be priced?"

For the price of tea, Anhe has not been set, one is that he does not understand the Datang tea industry, and he does not know how much demand there is in the market.

"This~?" Wang Yusheng pondered for a moment, "The villain dares to ask the prince, how is the yield of this tea?" ”

"Huh? Does this have anything to do with production? ”

Ann and Qidao.

"Yes, if the production of this tea is very small, then take the high-end route, and the price is not too much, but if the output is very large, the villain suggests that the price may be lower, so as not to sell all the tea!"

An expert is an expert, and the consideration is that Bian and this layman should be thoughtful.

"Well, this year's spring tea is only two thousand catties of output because of insufficient preparation, if the sales are good this time, I am ready to expand the scale of the workshop when the summer tea comes down, and it is estimated that the output will increase several times."

An He thought for a while and replied that tea can be picked all year round, and it can be divided into spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea and winter tea according to different seasons.

"In this way, the output of this tea is not small, it is not suitable for high-end sales, and now the best tea is only 800 Wen per catty, this tea is better than the tea on the market, and the price is best set between 1000 and 1500 Wen, and it must not exceed twice the highest price."

Wang Yusheng replied respectfully.

"Well, okay, if I wholesale it to you at a price of 900 wen per catty, would you like to take this business?"

An He smiled in his heart, he didn't expect Wang Yusheng to set such a high price, the cost of materials for roasting tea per catty is about 250 Wen, even if the cost of labor and site is removed, it is only 300 Wen cost per catty, and it is sold at a price of 900 Wen, making a net profit of 600 Wen, two thousand catties is 1200 yuan, and this is still the first season, and the next season's output will be doubled several times, that is, three or four thousand yuan, and there will be at least 10,000 yuan of income a year, which is simply incredible!
