Chapter 39: Selling Wine
"How much silver is this jar of wine? My lord, I gave me a silver ticket of fifty taels, which is enough to buy ten carriages if it were ordinary wine on the streets. ”
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, silver was scarce and quite valuable.
Although the fifty taels of silver were taken out casually by this guard, if they were placed in the homes of ordinary ordinary people, I am afraid that many young people might not be able to earn this silver without eating or drinking.
"Look at it, look at it, it's also His Royal Highness the Prince's personal guard."
"As you said, those are ordinary wines. Can that ordinary wine be compared to the Baoyuan Aging produced by our Baoyuan Bureau? Besides, can you watch and drink ordinary wine? ”
After some praise, Wang Siqi continued with a smile: "I won't tell you, my treasure source is aged with the emperor's high-quality wine to enhance the flavor, although it can't be compared with the emperor's gift, but in fact... Hehe, it's pretty much the same. ”
After another flicker, the guards of the East Palace were obviously a little dizzy, and hurriedly waved their hands and said, "I'm just a guard in front of the prince, where!" Then Lord Wang, first tell me how much this wine costs a jar, and if you say that you buy a hundred jars, you will buy a hundred jars! ”
"Okay! Come on, hurry up and load the car and deliver wine to others! ”
"Thank you for taking care of you, thank you from top to bottom of the Baoyuan Bureau! It's a thousand taels of silver... If you don't have this little money with you for a while, the fifty taels will be a fixed amount, and the rest will be paid on delivery..."
"How much? One thousand taels? ”
Rao is from a wealthy family, and he can't stand such an expensive wine.
It's not a famous wine, others don't know, doesn't he know it? These wines are said to be aged, but in fact, each jar comes from the brewery of the Baoyuan Bureau.
Has the workshop been completed and put into use?
It's only been a few days since it was put into use, and it's not all built yet?
This.. Aging?
The guard's face was red and purple, and after thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said loudly: "Then this wine, even if I bought it... If there is a shortage of silver, someone will naturally send it after the wine is delivered, and a thousand taels of silver will be a thousand taels of silver. ”
This scene made Chen Zhi on the side dumbfounded.
couldn't help but look at Wang Siqi, who didn't change his face on the side, and said secretly in his heart: This guy still knows how to do business, this is really making money standing up.
Wang Siqi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Then I will thank the guard, I didn't expect that the first batch of Baoyuan Aged Liquor sold by the Baoyuan Bureau came from the East Palace." ”
"Looking back on this matter, I will definitely say a few more words in front of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Hiss... A few more words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Say something, if it's a nice thing... The guards couldn't help but start to think about it, what was this for a son of a noble family to go to the East Palace to be a guard in front of the prince quietly? Isn't it because maybe there is hope to get the moon first, maybe one day if you are appreciated, you will be able to get ahead?
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated one day, he stepped forward and saved His Royal Highness the Prince's life.
I'm afraid that in the future, the genealogy of my family will have to tear up all the fronts... Start writing from yourself, after all, what is from the dragon's work, and you have the credit of saving the future emperor by yourself?
But such an opportunity is rare after all.
Now, for only a thousand taels of silver, he can get a chance to show his face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Is a thousand taels still expensive?
It doesn't seem to be very expensive anymore...
The guard hurriedly replied, "Then I'll be disrespectful... Please ask Lord Wang to bother, but Lord Wang.. Can you go back to the Baoyuan Bureau with us now? ”
"Well said. Well said...."
The money is all given, and there is nothing bad to say.
Wang Siqi said to Chen Zhi on the side: "Have you learned?" This is the highest level of selling alcohol, not only to collect money, but also to make the other party feel that they have taken a big advantage..."
"In addition, you can publicize the treasure source aging of these ten taels to the outside world, but once someone comes to the Hidden Flower Pavilion, you must remember that all the surrounding must be one hundred taels of fine packaging!"
"When the time comes, if the customer asks why it is different, they can also take the opportunity to sell the more expensive Baoyuan Ageing."
At this juncture, Wang Siqi was still thinking about how to make money, which made Chen Zhi stunned, but soon he figured out the logic of this.
So he hurriedly responded: "I understand!" But this finely packaged Baoyuan Aging and the ten taels of silver and a jar of Baoyuan Aging, if I remember correctly, the wine is the same... Even if there are two jars in the box, counting the box, it will not exceed the cost of ten taels of silver, and it will not be too dark to sell one hundred taels! ”
"You're stupid! I don't say it, you don't say it, who knew that both wines were the same! ”
"Even if someone asks... Just say. Well, there is a reason why you are expensive! The rest doesn't need to be explained too much, love to buy, don't buy and pull down, we haven't produced it yet... If it sells too fast, the brewery won't be able to redeem it, I'm afraid the quality will drop too much..."
Chen Zhi, who couldn't help but roll his eyes, couldn't help but think in his heart: Are you still worried about this?
It stands to reason that the brewing workshop of Baoyuan Bureau has not yet been fully completed, and it is still difficult to produce Baoyuan aging on a large scale.
But what I didn't expect was that I heard that I was delayed making money because of this.
Wang Siqi immediately waved his hand, come, alcohol mixed with water.
Anyway, the principle is the same, and the same is true of those wineries in later generations... 30,000 bottles of wine are produced a year, and at least 3 million bottles are drunk on the market, and what is 82 years of Lafite, which is far greater than what was produced that year, but decades have passed since then... Prices are rising, but they are always available.
Where does the wine come from? Who knows....
Wang Siqi just has a lot of examples, there are wine fairy dew and that vat of Yuci wine, plus a few specially friendly "invited" wine-making technical consultants - other winery masters to guide, the taste is not much good, just keep it stable...
Baoyuan Aging...
Official Public Sale...
The other side.
Wang Siqi, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but raise his eyes to look outside, the streets of the capital were still bustling, and the pedestrians and merchants who came and went were rarely able to see obvious dishes on their faces.
As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically difficult to see beggars on the streets.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven.. Can't get enough to eat?
Asking for food on the street?
Did the emperor make you hungry, or did Ying Tianfu make you hungry...?
The carriage arrived at the Baoyuan Bureau.
Sure enough, when he saw Wang Siqi's first sentence, Zhu Gaochi couldn't wait to open his mouth and said: "That medicine.. How's it going? ”
