Chapter XIX Agreed
Bai Tang raised his eyebrows and asked funny: "But what does this have to do with Qin Gongzi?" β
Qin Jian was slightly stunned. The method he had just thought of in a moment was not very fair to Lian Baitang.
Bai Tang smiled: "I guess, do you want to buy the method of making this tea and sell it in the name of the Qin family?" In this way, Lord Qin's mansion uses his own newly produced tea leaves in the door, and the rumors can be broken without attacking? By the way, I heard that the Qin family's day-cast snow buds were also all the rage, but unfortunately the day-cast snow buds have long been in decline, so I can just use my Lan Xue to replace them? β
Qin Jian was very embarrassed when he guessed all his thoughts, and said with a red face: "Lian Gongzi is bidding." β
Lian Baitang shook his head: "Lan Xue's recipe was taught by my master, and I can't sell it or sell it." β
Qin Jian knew that there was little hope, but he was still disappointed when he heard this.
"But we can work together."
Qin Jian's eyes lit up: "How to cooperate?" β
"My family doesn't have a tea introduction, so I can't buy and sell tea. Even if there is a tea introduction, there is no tea field, and there is no experience and ability to lay out channels. However, the Qin family has tea introductions, tea forests, channels, and manpower. "Lian Baitang does not shy away from his own flaws." Therefore, I am willing to invest in technology and hand over the method of making tea, but I will charge 30% of the profit. β
Qin Jian was stunned when he heard this: "Technology...... Become a shareholder? A new term, but he quickly understood. After a moment of hesitation, the two families were divided into threes and sevens, and the asking price of Lian Baitang was inevitably higher.
"Qin Gongzi has to figure it out. The Qin family's current tea garden, due to the rise of pineapple tea, is estimated to be unable to make ends meet, right? I contribute technology, you contribute people's efforts, and both are happy, so why not do it? Bai Tang handed the teapot back to him, "Actually, I don't have to cooperate with the Qin family. There are many tea merchants in this Nanjing city. Thinking that I have my grandfather's name on my back, no one will dare to deceive me and lie to me. β
The old man Lian is famous in the city, and the Lian family can undertake the official papers, and his strength and connections are naturally not to be underestimated.
Qin Jian's ingenious intent flashed in an instant, and immediately dissipated.
"Qin Gongzi rest assured. Even if you don't cooperate with me, I won't ignore Lord Qin's affairs. This tea was given to the Qin Mansion by me, and it is also a recipe researched by my master. I will clarify it for Lord Qin. If anyone unbelieves or doubts, he can confront me. Even if he goes to the front of the Imperial Court with the Inspectorate, Lian is not afraid. β
There was a hint of eagerness to try in Bai Tang's eyes, Qin Jian only stayed for a moment before he guessed his thoughts, and he was shocked for a while: Lian Bai Tang wanted to use the power of the court to make a name for Lan Xue! It's just daring! But it's really not his whims! If he ends up making trouble at the Imperial History Tower, it is very likely that he will be able to do it with his intelligence! Tea merchants from all walks of life flocked to the world, how could there be anything to do with his Qin family?
Qin Jian looked at Bai Tang for a while: This young man is terrifyingly bold and shrewd!
Cooperation, win-win. If you don't cooperate, the industry of your own tea farm will be in a desperate situation.
"The stakes are high." Qin Jian quickly made a decision, "Wait for me to repair a book, hurry up and discuss it with my father." β
Bai Tang nodded and said, "Okay!" β
Qin Jian was about to say goodbye, but Bai Tang stopped him again.
"Qin Gongziβ" Bai Tang rubbed his hands a little embarrassed. "Actually, I am sending this tea to ask for a precious thing in the house."
Qin Jian's eyes widened slightly, and a wave of anger surged in his heart: Don't go too far in practicing Baitang! The Qin family's bamboo pole is not so easy to knock! He patiently asked, "What?" β
Bai Tang smiled: "Water." The water of the White Dragon Spring in Bailong Garden. β
Qin Jian's heart was relieved, why did he want the white dragon spring water rewarded by the prince? It's not a big deal. Immediately softened his face and said, "I'll ask the third uncle for some." How much do you need? β
Bai Tang touched his nose and only smiled at Qin Jian silently.
Qin Jian gasped: "What's the use of you wanting so much spring water?" β
"Don't leak it!" Bai Tang gave him his hand again and again. "Childe, please."
Can it not fulfill you? Qin Jian smiled bitterly, at this moment, it was too late to entrap him.
Half an hour later, Bai Tang received two large barrels of sweet springs from the Qin family.
The cold spring is sweet and shiny.
Bai Tang measured the water quality and was very satisfied: "It's finally time to start work!" β
Jiangnan, Qinfu.
Qin Jian's father, Qin Nanxing, the current head of the Qin family, received the letter from his eldest son, and he felt that pie fell from the sky, and he was pleasantly surprised!
Before he took over as the head of the family, Rizhu Snow Bud was the No. 1 famous tea in Jiangnan! The Qin family's tea farm brings amazing profits every year. After he succeeded as the head of the family, Anhui's pineapple tea was born and swept through the tea with a thunderous momentum. Under the pressure of pineapple tea, the snow buds of the day are gradually declining, and the income of the tea garden at home is bleak. It's just that the business of the tea garden accounts for the majority of the Qin family! As the head of the family, Qin Nanxing revitalized his tea plantation.
He has already tasted the Lanxue tea sent by his eldest son, and its fragrance and taste are better than pineapples! If this matter can be done, not only will he have an explanation for his clansmen, but it will also be a great merit for Qin Jian to succeed to the position of head of the family in the future!
It's that the other party wants to divide it into three or seven! In his opinion, handing over 20% of the profit is too much!
Qin Nanxing didn't have the idea of taking advantage of it. What happened to the scholarly family, and what about the big clan that went through the three dynasties? Without some skills, the Qin family would not be able to pass on today. It's a pity that his son's words dispelled his thoughts: Let's not mention the master who doesn't see the tail of the dragon in Lian Baitang, even if he is a practitioner, he is not easy to mess with. His grandfather, but the leader of the paper industry and the engraving industry, has always had a harmonious relationship with the court and scholars, and it is really inconvenient to be rude. is talking to his son, Fang Zi is in the hands of Lian Baitang, and there is the backer of the old man, who can he cooperate with?
"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Qin Nanxing sighed. Tea workers in the tea fields have been trying to make new tea varieties for years but to no avail. He didn't dare to hope that his family could study Lan Xue's frying method. After weighing it for a long time, he replied to Qin Jian: sign the contract as soon as possible, the autumn tea has been harvested and is waiting to be fried.
After he finished writing the letter, he put down his pen, and when he looked up, he saw his wife standing in front of the door, looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah Ruan." β
Ruan Shijiao smiled: "This is still numb at an age. Ah Ruan said that her husband usually only calls her like this when he is in love, which shows that he is in a very good mood at the moment. She glanced at the letter in her husband's hand and said with concern, "Is it Ajan's letter?" How is he and his wife in Nanjing? β
"Good." Nanxing took the letterhead. After all, he is the head of a family, and he is very measured. Cooperating with Lianjia Lanxue Tea is a big thing, and it is also a big secret. Even if he is as beloved as his wife, he does not want to leak the news before the matter is completed. "Ah Jian is very capable!" Nan Xing took Ruan's hand and said gratefully, "Thanks to you." You have raised them well. β
Ruan's dark eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Husband praises me like this-I know." It must be Ah Jian who has done something big in Nanjing! β
Nanxing laughed heartily: "You have always been smart. It's just that this matter hasn't been skimmed yet. When the general trend is settled, I will tell you more. β
Ruan's heart was surging, and he pretended to be disgusted on his face: "Hmph, this lady is not uncommon with these things!" The delicate palm was quickly withdrawn from the husband's hand, and with a twist of the thin waist, he walked out of the study in a few steps.
Nanxing looked at his wife's back and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. After so many years, he is still unable to control himself under the temptation of his wife, intentionally or unintentionally. I can't help but think that tonight I must let Ah Ruan beg for mercy.
Back in the main courtyard, Nguyen's face was gloomy. The maid didn't dare to come out, so she held her breath and asked for tea.
Seeing the face of the master, Ruan's henchman Mama Wu waved away the people waiting in the house, and asked softly, "Is there an accident in Nanjing?" β
"Ah Jian, it seems that he has done a great thing for the Qin family." Nguyen closed his eyes. "I didn't expect him to be quite capable."
"The eldest young master is the eldest son. It is a child taught by the grandfather and the lord himself. You are taking care of you again, the eldest young master is promising, and you are also honored, aren't you? However, the eldest young master is still young after all, and it will be time for you to take care of him in the future. β
Ruan Shi glanced at her inexplicably, and said with a light smile: "That's right." But there is no news from my sister-in-law, and I miss her a little. β
Mama Wu's smile deepened: "Don't worry, wait two more days to see." β
