Chapter 250: A Cup of Tea (6)
Cui Xiuxiu really can't imagine that any business can have hundreds of times more profits. And Cui Xiuxiu also knows that the business that can double the profit is already rushed by many people, and if it can be tripled, it will naturally be crazy. But now Chen Fei actually said that he had a hundred times the profit, which was enough to make Cui Xiuxiu tempted. Because if you can make a hundred times the profit, it won't take a few times for Cui Xiuxiu to make enough money to buy most of the members of the Cui family. But is there really such a high profit? This is obviously what many Cui Xiuxiu are suspicious, can there really be hundreds of times more profits in this world?
"Actually, it's very simple, it's just this tea. You fry the tea leaves and make them into bricks, drive them to the northern Turkic steppes on fast horses, and then exchange them for war horses with the Turks. You can exchange a hundred catties of dried tea for the price of a war horse, and the Turks in exchange for enough war horses, and then return to the Central Plains again to do business with those army people. I think at that time, with the background of the Cui family, the military would not hack your war horse. So you say it can be a hundred times greater? Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei's suggestion was very simple, that is, to exchange tea for war horses, and then take the war horses again to trade with the military. Chen Fei came to ancient times to know what horses meant in the eyes of the ancients, and ancient horses also meant military supplies. A war horse that can fight costs at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan, and even if there is a war horse with excellent bloodline or special ability, it is incalculable. A war horse was equivalent to a Rolls-Royce for ancient people, and most families could not afford to use it.
But even so, the war horse is still useless. China has been bullied by nomads since ancient times, and the most important point is that there are no cavalry in China. If you look at the history of China, every strong dynasty must be a dynasty with enough cavalry. With cavalry, it means that the country is economically strong, and it can beat those nomads to the point that they don't even know him. But once there were no cavalry. That is to say, strategically in a passive situation. Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has never disliked many war horses, and if there are war horses, then the military will buy them if they sell iron. Of course, if they can rob it, they won't mind making a cameo appearance as a profiteer.
So as long as Cui Xiuxiu can get a war horse, the military will also have to give some face as the Cui family, and it is impossible to hack his war horse. And a war horse is traded according to the market, even if Cui Xiuxiu has a big discount, there will be 50,000 yuan. The value is very huge, enough to make Cui Xiuxiu eat a lot of money.
"You're really sure. Would the Turks be willing to trade war horses for tea? Cui Xiuxiu asked.
Cui Xiuxiu was puzzled, why was Chen Fei so sure that the Turks would use war horses in exchange for tea, tea was not popular in the Central Plains, how could it be so valuable when it ran to the Turks? A hundred catties in exchange for a war horse, these tea leaves are not as heavy as the horse meat of a war horse! Doing so is a loss-making business for Cui Xiuxiu. If you were a Turk, you would never agree to such a deal.
"Hehe, that's the case sometimes. Your poisonous weeds, my fairy grass. Although tea is not very popular in our Central Plains at present, I am sure that the Turks will be obsessed with tea. He even did not hesitate to exchange war horses for it. Chen Fei said affirmatively.
Chen Fei knew the specific reason, because this was a problem caused by the diet of ancient nomads. Although the ancient nomads did not lack meat, they were severely short of vegetables. The Central Plains people envy the nomads who often eat meat, but the nomads are also envious of the Central Plains people who can eat vegetables. The steppe where the Turkic nomads lived. Although it looks like there is a lot of grass, these grasses are not vegetables after all, and they cannot be turned into vegetables. The vast majority of Turkic people lack the vitamins and nutrients in vegetables. As a result, they are often deficient in vitamins.
Many Turkic people suffer from severe night blindness once they reach the night. This night blindness is also a phenomenon of vitamin A deficiency, and there are many other symptoms of this vitamin deficiency. But when the tea was later delivered to the nomads, they also found that drinking tea could greatly improve the symptoms of this vitamin deficiency. As long as you drink tea, then this uncomfortable feeling will be much less, and you can even live a normal life. Therefore, once the tea leaves reach the nomads, they all become fairy grass. And those nomads also invented such a thing as milk tea.
"If that's the case, it's really a hundredfold profit!" Cui Xiuxiu said.
Cui Xiuxiu also has an account in her heart, because if it costs five yuan to fry one pound of dried tea, then one hundred pounds of tea is five hundred yuan. However, 500 yuan of tea can be exchanged for a 50,000 yuan war horse, and this business is simply a hundred times the profit. Even if it is a big family like the Cui family, if it really encounters this kind of hundredfold profit, it will definitely be tempted. However, the premise is to keep the production method of these teas secret, so that you can enjoy the profit alone.
Cui Xiuxiu immediately said: "Chen Fei, I really don't know how to thank you, you have helped me a lot this time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be a long time for me to raise this huge amount of money." But now with you, my dad and I can quickly raise a huge amount of money and go buy those family members. I believe that as long as there is half a year left, you can go back and forth several times, which is enough to harvest a lot of wealth and ensure that my father can become the head of the Cui family. ”
Cui Xiuxiu really feels that victory is in sight this time, because this tea and horse trade can be so profitable, so what's not to be tempted about? With this huge amount of money, it is not a problem to buy family members at all, and it is completely possible for those family members to support their father to become the head of the family when their grandfather dies, and then they can slowly solve the threat of their eldest uncle and second uncle. If he can't become the head of the family and occupy the righteousness of the identity of the head of the family, then Cui Fuke will really still be excluded, and he may even be imprisoned by the family to death in the end.
"Miss Xiuxiu, don't thank me first, I also have conditions. Business is business, but I also want half of the profit from this tea. You have made money, at least half of the profits must be given to me! Otherwise, the method of roasting tea is provided by me, and trading war horses with the Turks is also an idea that I came up with, and you don't give me anything, so I'm not Yang Bailao? Chen Fei said. (To be continued......)
