Chapter 368: Let's Go Together
Lu Xiaobei suddenly became happy.
He wants to do his own business, but he is worried that Du Jinning will not have a proper person to help her. If Zhuang Yue can come to Du Jinning's side and assist Du Jinning wholeheartedly, he can also rest assured that he will be able to do his own thing.
"You write a letter to ask Wang Lusheng to come back. At that time, even if Uncle Zhuang comes, it will be impossible to continue to be the shopkeeper of the teahouse. Wang Lusheng is almost experienced now, let him come back and follow Uncle Zhuang for a while, and when Uncle Zhuang can rest assured here, he just happened to take over this mess. Du Jinning said.
"Okay." Seeing that Du Jinning could understand what he meant without much effort, and quickly arranged things, Lu Xiaobei was very happy.
In order not to let others gossip about Du Jinning, Lu Xiaobei and Zhuang Yue were very careful, and decided to think about this matter slowly, planning to do it again when Du Jinning and Guan Jiaze went to take the hospital exam.
Wang Lusheng came back a few days later, and after he came back, he followed Zhuang Yue to do things, and by the way, he helped Lu Xiaobei Zhang Luo get engaged.
It is a long process from engagement to marriage, and it has to go through three media and six appointments, and the battle line is very long. Now that he has been hired, there is nothing to do in a short period of time, and Lu Xiaobei has begun to prepare for it.
The first is the approval of the tea introduction.
Because tea helps digestion, relieves greasy fat, provides vitamins and other medicinal effects, the animal husbandry people in Northwest China are indispensable to tea, "it is better to go without food for three days than to drink tea for a day". Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the rulers have controlled tea and exchanged tea for horses to enhance their own military strength and prevent and control the "peoples on horseback" in the frontier. Therefore, tea can not be bought and sold at will in the people, and it is necessary to get the government to buy tea and pay heavy taxes to the court.
Although Qin Laoliu is taking care of the tea garden under Du Jinning's name, Lu Xiaobei handles all the tea buying and selling matters, and he naturally has a close relationship with the stewards of Qi and Yuan's two mansions. He is also a particularly sociable person, so there is no need to alarm Qi Bokun and Yuan Xiuzhu, just through the stewards of the two prefectures, he got the tea he wanted.
With the tea guide, he picked the tea leaves.
Since he plans to do things alone, instead of helping Du Jinning do things, he naturally has to do things according to the rules. Not all of the tea produced by the three tea gardens of Qi Yuan and Du was shipped to the capital, some of the tea of average quality would be retailed in Lishui County and Fucheng, and some of it would be purchased by tea merchants and transported to other places for sale.
Doing tea business is not only about buying and selling, but also about brand management. If you want to play the brand of fried green tea, you can't just focus on the immediate benefits. Casting a wide net, allowing businessmen to transport tea to all parts of the country, expanding the reputation of roasted green tea, and enhancing the influence of roasted green tea, is the long-term plan and the best choice.
This is also the sales strategy proposed by Du Jinning.
Therefore, although transporting tea to the capital for sale is the way and network of the Qi and Yuan families, the stewards of the Qi and Yuan families do not dare to have the slightest complaint and contempt for Du Jinning's hitchhiking. Traders have been in business all their lives, and they are very accurate in looking at people. Du Jinning has such a business acumen and long-term vision, even if he does not take the imperial examination, he can still break through in the business world.
Sell some favors to such a person, and help them easily, and it is beneficial to align the Yuan family. They don't have that short-sightedness.
In addition to the respect of Qi and Yuan's two stewards, Du Jinning also obtained the right to name the brand.
Although most of the famous and high-quality teas are named after regions, their tea gardens are not only in Lishui County, so Du Jinning simply shamelessly gave his name to the tea brand, directly called "Jinning Green Tea".
The method of making this green tea was brought by her from later generations, and it is understandable to name it after her.
In the future, she cultivated high-yield rice, and she still called it "Jinning Rice".
To brush up on prestige, you have to be so shameless.
She is also charged with a beheading and raiding her home, and it is not a bad thing to brush up more prestige, and maybe it can save her life at a critical time.
Lu Xiaobei got the tea introduction, and bought tea from three tea shops as a tea merchant, came to Du's house to say goodbye, saw Du Fangling, and hurriedly followed the steward of Qi and Yuan's two mansions and embarked on the road of pioneering the capital.
Since he decided to go to Fucheng, Du Jinning also wrote a letter to Yao Shuqi, asking him to buy a two- to three-entry house in Fucheng.
She now has more than a dozen teahouses and bookstores in Fucheng and various counties under her name, and she has a lot of income every day; Although the tea production of the tea garden is not much, but she and Qi Yuan two families in Huizhou to acquire the tea garden output is quite rich, the current national fried green tea on the "Jinning green tea" so unique, Qi Yuan two families have a very capable shopkeeper, in the capital to fry the price is particularly high, monthly dividends Du Jinning can get more than 1,000 taels of silver. In the past six months, she has not invested anything other than buying two small courtyards in Fucheng. In this way, she also accumulated fifteen thousand taels of silver tickets in hand.
In just two years, from having nothing to hiding a huge amount of money, there are many industries under his name, and he has changed from an illiterate peasant child to a child and a quasi-talent, and it is estimated that he can cause an uproar in the county.
How much industry she has under her name, only Lu Xiaobei knows, even the Chen family is not very clear. Yao Shuqi only knows about teahouses and bookstores, but he doesn't know the tea plantations in Anhui; The Qi and Yuan families only knew that she had a tea garden, but they didn't know about the teahouses and bookstores in Fucheng and other counties. How much savings she has in hand, that is, neither Lu Xiaobei nor the Chen family knows.
Du Jinning didn't use the account room, and with her level of arithmetic, these things were not difficult to deal with. Although it will take some time and energy, she has no power now, and she decides not to reveal her wealth, her accounts are not fake, and she does not let people know how much money she has.
Later, when she became powerful and her family business became more and more abundant, she hired an account office to take care of the accounts.
Although it is easy to do things with money, Du Jinning has a lot of requirements, and it took more than 20 days for Yao Shuqi to write a letter to report the three houses he was optimistic about.
After reading Yao Shuqi's letter, Du Jinning decided to go to Fucheng.
Chen didn't stop her, but said: "You just go with Wang Fulai, I don't worry." Alas, it would be nice if Lu Xiaobei was still at home. ”
Du Jinning touched his chin, and went to Qi Mansion to borrow someone from Qi Muyuan: "I want to borrow my master and his senior brother for a few days, and I will give them a hard fee." ”
Qi Mu glanced at her from afar: "What are you doing in Fucheng?" ”
Du Jinning did not hide his plans, and confessed: "After the hospital examination, the mountain chief and Guan Jiaze went to the capital, and you also went to Fucheng." I was bored staying here, so I decided to go to Fucheng to study as well. Even if you can't get into the house, you will find a college near the city to study. So I want to go to Fucheng and buy a house. Shopkeeper Yao brought a letter and said that there are a few houses that are not bad, and I plan to take a look. ”
"I'll go with you." Qi Mu is far away.
