If this is the case, Xie Shen needs to befriend Ning Yi in a way that is closer to making friends with scholars. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There may seem to be no obvious difference between the two, but the actual implementation is very different, and if used in the wrong way, it can even be counterproductive.

Ning Yi was a little surprised when he heard Xie Shen reciting Su Dongpo's poem. Longtuan tea has gradually declined since the abolition of the name of tribute tea in the early Ming Dynasty, except for a big tea merchant like him, almost no one is willing to drink, I can't imagine that this kid can casually recite the quatrain of Yonglong Tuan tea.

Ning Yi chanted almost without thinking: "The window is clear and crushes the small dragon, and the living fire is new and shallow." The river rises and the snow melts on the mountain, and the wine is empty. ”

This is a palindromic poem, the so-called palindromic poem, which means that it can also be a poem when read backwards, and the idea is extremely ingenious.

Ning Yi groaned easily, and his words had deep meaning.

"Does Gongzi Xie also like Longtuan tea?"

Xie Shen knew that Longtuan tea flourished in the two Song Dynasty, and although there was a legacy in the Ming Dynasty, because of the loss of the name of tribute tea, many tea workshops stopped making Longtuan tea cakes, and gradually even the tea-making process was lost.

Of course, a big tea merchant like Ning Yi can completely order people to make Longtuan tea cakes according to the ancient law, which is nothing more than spending some more silver, but these silver coins are only a drop in the bucket compared to what Ning Yi made by selling Qiantang Longjing. In other words, Ning Yi is making Longtuan tea in the nature of playing tickets, and he also has this capital.

Xie Shen nodded and said: "Longtuan tea has a more peculiar taste than Qiantang Longjing, and Xie will also drink sencha in his spare time." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, almost all the ways to drink tea were brewed with boiling water, and it was rare to follow the ancient method of sencha to drink, Ning Yi did this business, and naturally knew better than others. However, Ning Yi himself likes the ancient way of drinking tea very much, and he is naturally very happy when he finds the sound for a while.

"Oh? In this case, Gongzi Xie might as well take some small dragon groups back. To tell you the truth, the dragon group tea cakes here are made step by step through the ancient process, and the taste is definitely much better than that made in the wild shop outside. ”

Xie Shen was actually very empty at the moment, he had never drunk Longtuan tea, and reciting this poem was just to test Ning Yi. Ning Yi's love for Longtuan tea proves that he not only sells tea as a way to make a living, but also integrates tea into his life.

This is not contradictory to Ning Yi's wealth of money from selling tea, after all, Confucian merchants are also businessmen, and making profits is the most important thing.

"Then thank you Ning Yuan."

Another very important reason why Xie Shen dared to test Ning Yi with this poem was that he read some wild histories when he was studying tea culture in his previous life, which recorded that many of the big tea merchants in Jiangnan liked the Xiaolong group of the two Song Dynasty.

Wild history is naturally not fully credible, but at least it belongs to one idea.

Now that Xie Shen wants to open up the situation, he naturally wants to give it a try.

I never thought that what was recorded in the wild history turned out to be true, at least Ning Yi, one of the top tea merchants in Hangzhou, was an enthusiast of the small dragon group.

That's it......

As long as you are a Confucian businessman, you will attach great importance to your reputation, and as long as you value your reputation, you will have many weaknesses.

"Su Dongpo's poem is ingenious, the kid also came up with a clumsy poem by chance, I wonder if Ning Yuanwai can listen to it?"

Xie Shen is good at composing poetry, and Ning Yi has known it for a long time. But after all, he hadn't heard it with his own ears, and now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Master Xie, hurry up!"

Xie cleared his throat and recited: "The spring breeze grows buds in March, and the young woman in the village is in charge. The residual lamp did not cover the ripeness of the yellow sorghum, and the pillow Hu Lang picked tea. The livelihood of the tea village is the mountain farmer, and the pressing side is turned into a white paper seal. There is no small print in the red note, and the Western business producer is Bai Hibiscus. Six rivers and three mountains but few fields, half of his career is in Xichuan. ”

After chanting this poem, Xie Shen deliberately observed Ning Yi's expression, and found that Ning Yuanwai was deeply touched, with a smile on his face, and secretly applauded in his heart.

"When the old man started from scratch, he also started from planting tea and picking tea, and the descriptions in Xie Gongzi's poems are all vivid!"

Ning Yining sighed and sighed outside, which was so touching that those who heard it wept.

Xie Shen listened to Ning Yining's experience of starting from scratch and how he went from a businessman to the head of the tea merchant in Hangzhou today, and he admired Ning Yi even more.

But admiration is admiration, he came this time to talk about business and plan for Yaji.

Yaji and business are inseparable, and the reason is because behind the Hangzhou scholars are standing the Longjing tea merchants.

The cooperation between Hangzhou Shizi and Ningbo Shizi can be regarded as the cooperation between Hangzhou tea merchants and Ningbo tea merchants.

Once these two strong cooperate, not only will Yu Yao Shizi not take advantage of Yaji, but Yao Jiangcha will no longer want to enter the circle of Jiangnan Shizi.

At first, Xie Shen wanted to swallow Qiantang Longjing's share of the tea market in one gulp, but now it seems that this plan is too unrealistic. At present, a better way is to strive for cooperation with the local tea merchants in Hangzhou, led by Ning Yining Yuanwai, and suppress the Ningbo tea merchants who are trying to share the soup.

As long as the Ningbo tea merchants are poured, those scholars who rely on the support of the Ningbo tea merchants are like clowns jumping off the beam.

It's just that the Ningbo tea merchant intervened early, and he had to find another way to impress Ning Yi.

Xie Shen also analyzed earlier that Ning Yi was a Confucian businessman, so he would use Xiaolong Tuan Tea as a breakthrough, and then use poetry to make Ning Yi have a good impression of him. But these are just foreshadowing, Ning Yi is a Confucian businessman, but he is still a businessman after all.

Maybe Ning Yi is good at poetry, but what is important is the word profit after all.

If Xie Shen could not come up with a practical plan, it would be impossible to persuade the Hangzhou tea merchants led by Ning Yi to cooperate with him instead.

And no matter from all aspects, the strength of Ningbo tea merchants is stronger than Xie Shen, and it is reasonable for Ning Yi to choose Ningbo tea merchants to cooperate.

Xie Shen smiled faintly and said, "It's just that the kid thanked the tea farmers for their hard work and did it casually." I didn't want to be able to arouse such a feeling from Ning Yuanwai. Oh, there's one thing the kid is very confused, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Ning Yi had a good impression of Xie Shen at the moment, so naturally he didn't have too much defense, so he waved his hand and said, "Young Master Xie, please speak." ”

After a pause, Xie Shen said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Ning Yuanwai, who should be the leader among the many tea leaves in the world today?" ”

Ning Yi naturally replied arrogantly: "Of course, it's Qiantang Longjing." ”

Before the founding of this dynasty, Longjing was already a famous tea, but it was not as famous as it is now. With the removal of Xiaolongtuan from the list of tribute teas, the only famous tea that can compete with Longjing has also disappeared into the torrent of history.

If Ning Yi didn't even have this confidence, it would be impossible for him to become the president of the Hangzhou Tea Merchants Chamber of Commerce.

Although he personally likes Xiaolongtuan, he still says that preference is preference, business is business, and it should not be confused.
