Chapter 172: Still Too Conservative
There are several types of liquor sold at Lanling Wine Shop, covering all price points.
Compared with Ram's wine, the price of wine of the same quality is only one-fifth, or even one-tenth!
"Once the newspaper is promoted to all parts of the country, at that time, Liang Xiao will not need to rely on any shipping channels at all, and he will be the biggest channel......"
Ram Jing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he wrote a secret letter, turned around and instructed his cronies: "Immediately notify my family to adjust the price of wine, and adjust the price of wine all over the country, how much can it be sold!" ”
In the lobby, Liang Xiao listened to the reports of Bai Qin and others, and was quite satisfied.
The cheapest wine is the most popular, now is the stage of small profits and quick turnover, after deducting the cost, paying 20% of the liquor tax, and then handing over the remaining profits to Duan Yunyi 30%, the profit he can earn per bucket is about one-tenth of the price of the wine.
The reason why wine is a profiteering industry is that it is difficult to lose money.
The price of food and labor has risen, and the price of wine has risen accordingly, and someone has to buy it.
Smart wine merchants will buy a large amount of wine when the price of grain is cheap, brew it in advance, and when the price of wine soars, the price of wine will soar, and they can also make a lot of money.
In the national liquor industry, the Ram family is dominant.
The Dingguo Marquis Mansion also has the support of the wine saint, but their wine industry is not easy to expand.
These families have been operating all over the country for dozens or hundreds of years, and a newly established forty-year-old Dingguo Marquis Mansion has not been able to shake them.
It's different now.
He is a first-class imperial businessman, and there are newspapers to assist in publicity, so it is not difficult to expand.
The brewing of this sake does not require too strict secrecy, and it can be opened all over the country with confidence.
The wines made by Lanling Distillery are essentially slightly optimized by Liang Xiao according to modern technology.
Because there was no complete distillation process before, the original fine liquor of Dazhou was placed in modern times, and it was almost at the level of ten or twenty degrees.
After the other shopkeepers left, only Bai Qin stayed to discuss matters.
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "The wine industry is still in its infancy, even if it is a small loss, it must be opened, otherwise it will not be able to defeat the Ram Clan." ”
Bai Qin said with a smile: "The closure of the wine industry of these families is just around the corner!" The book industry, the wine industry, these are their lifelines, once they are replaced by Hou Ye, they can only do some small business, or even unprofitable! ”
Liang Xiao shook his head: "Lao Bai, your ideas are still too conservative. ”
"Conservative?" Bai Qin was puzzled.
It's going to destroy the opponent's pillar industry, and it's still conservative?
Liang Xiao said: "These great families have existed since the Wu Dynasty, and they have been sucking blood for hundreds of years, so you can imagine how much wealth their families have hidden. I don't want to watch them sit and eat, but to spit it all out! ”
Bai Qin took a deep breath, his face full of excitement: "Master Hou said it well!" It's just that these big families have always been cautious and will not casually do business at a loss. ”
Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing: "Then slowly grab their fox tails, and when the time is ripe, give them a fatal blow sooner or later, these big families add up to tens of millions of taels, I don't believe it if I die." At that time, it must be a great joy and a celebration for the whole world! ”
Bai Qin looked at Liang Xiao's confident appearance, and became even more excited: "Copy him!" ”
After following Liang Xiao for a long time, he became more and more aware that this Hou Ye had never liked to do things that he was not sure of.
It is not impossible to overthrow these great families, but the ancestor was forced by the situation back then, and he just dismissed Prime Minister Zuo Duguping.
If it is replaced by those emperors of the previous dynasty, it is possible to destroy the family.
The key is that there are thousands of Shilin behind these families, whether they can block the mouths of the people.
The newspaper's encroachment on the national public opinion position is one of them, and when these Shilin people are all interested in the imperial court, these great families can only let their lords and marquis handle them.
Even if these Shilin people still firmly support the Great Family, it doesn't matter!
When the books are promoted, more ordinary people will become readers, enriching the academic circles and scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
These people are grateful for the kindness of the lord and the marquis, and they also have the need to break the monopoly of the great family, so they are naturally towards the emperor.
Liang Xiao's layout is equivalent to a yang scheme, but it makes the enemy almost helpless.
As a member of Xuanwei, Bai Qin of course also knew about the situation of the scholars in the capital.
Recently, the hostility of the scholars towards Liang Xiao has become deeper and deeper, but no one dares to come forward, at most, the Duanmu family and Liang Xiao have some personal grudges, such as Nangong Ning, Duanmu Yuncheng or something.
The Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister came out to support books, and they never dared to risk the world's condemnation to accuse Liang Xiao of cheap books.
Liang Xiao folded the financial report and handed it to Bai Qin, then looked at the rising sun, as if talking to himself.
"Now I don't have enough manpower, when the industry expands and recruits more and more talented people to help, then we can destroy their other profiteering industries!"
In the imperial study, Xing Feng entered the meeting alone, preparing to negotiate with Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui.
"Relying on the support of the Great Zhou Tianzi, the young people of the two countries have benefited a lot from this exchange meeting, and they will report to our emperor at the next meeting, and Da Chu will support your envoys to hold an exchange meeting in our country at any time."
Duan Yunyi agreed, but he didn't care in his heart.
Liang Xiao is definitely the best choice to hold an exchange meeting in Dachu, but unfortunately the road is far away and the risks are unpredictable.
Her sister was reluctant, and Zhuge Hui was reluctant...... She was reluctant either.
"In addition, I heard that the output and quality of the government-run salt here in Dazhou have not been the same as before...... On behalf of Da Chu, I hope to negotiate with Da Zhou, and my country will purchase your country's salt at a certain price and ship it back to China for exclusive sale. ”
Duan Yunyi said: "It's not that this matter can't be discussed, but Da Chu must first ensure that the salt purchased at a low price is not allowed to enter my Da Zhou country." To this end, the Great Zhou and Great Zhou sides need to send enough officials to supervise the whereabouts of the purchased salt. Dazhou can ensure a stable supply of salt. ”
Xing Feng nodded solemnly: "Naturally!" Thank you also for your thoughtfulness, and I hope that your country can send a representative to Dachu with you to discuss cooperation with our emperor in detail. ”
Duan Yunyi was secretly happy in his heart, and solemnly agreed.
The situation of Dachu is actually similar to that of Bashu, but Dachu has a larger population and a larger territory.
As long as Da Zhou does well, he can earn at least three million taels of silver from Da Chu.
The salt administration on the side of Dachu may have a little more income than before because of the increase in the official operation and supply of salt, and the decrease in prices.
The key is that Da Chu's salt politics will rely on people because of this, and he will not dare to offend Da Zhou casually in the future.
Either way, Da Zhou is a winner.
Duan Yunyi knew that Xing Feng only came to her today to negotiate this matter, which had a lot to do with him and Liang Xiao's meeting last night.
Of course, Da Zhou now also needs to maintain friendly relations with Da Chu, and he can't make an inch.
Xing Feng mentioned the matter of books again, and said: "I hope that the emperor of the Great Zhou can understand the difficulties of my emperor, and if he can agree, these families can also fully support the friendship between the two countries in the future." ”
Duan Yunyi had already prepared and proposed: "The books of Lanling Bookstore, you can customize them according to the market price, send them to China to increase the price, and arrange exclusive sales by the Emperor of Great Chu." ”
Xing Feng also mentioned the matter of customizing newspapers in Dachu, and sure enough, as Liang Xiao said, Duan Yunyi claimed that as long as the Prime Minister's Mansion approved it, Liang Xiao could customize it for them.
Xing Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking him repeatedly, he said solemnly: "Presumably, the Great Zhou Tianzi and Prime Minister Zhuge also know that more than half of our courtiers do not support friendship between the two countries. There are heroes and heroes such as the Marquis of Lanling in the Great Zhou, and if anyone dares to attack, it is tantamount to self-destruction...... I hope that your country will pay attention to all parts of the South, where there is always a risk of negligence. ”
Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui's eyes were a little more surprised.
Xing Feng's words were unexpected, and it was obvious that he was reminding them.
But he is a great Chu courtier.
After being surprised, Duan Yunyi felt a little emotional in his heart.
It was the hateful Liang Aiqing who made Xing Feng keep his promise and not allow the lives to be ruined......
