Chapter 277: Local Tyrant Requirements
Sun Sanqiang, the old man was shocked, even Jiang Xingchen himself didn't expect that the power of tea was so great, and there were so many people who could afford to spend 100,000 citrine coins a year. In just a few days, the number of members reached 60.
On the side of the imperial capital, it was operated by Mo Hongxian and Grandpa Fu in the past, and the newly opened Xingchen Teahouse was also in good shape. Once the tea was launched, the nobles and wealthy merchants of the entire imperial capital flocked to it, this drink is not only fragrant and elegant, but the key is that it contains vitality, which is conducive to the cultivation of martial artists.
Even the emperor was stunned for a while when he heard the news, and even he was a little red at the tea in Jiang Xingchen's hand. He couldn't help but be even more sure of the idea of receiving Jiang Xingchen to his side.
Marshal, Feng Xuanzhang, the dean of the Imperial Academy, the Minister of Finance, Huang Shi, Qingyun and others, after tasting the taste of tea, applied for membership as soon as possible!
Yuan Xixuan, who was conservative and powerful, also did not hold back, and after drinking the tea, it was difficult to resist this attraction. Even some old stubborns secretly went to the Xingchen Teahouse and applied for membership.
There are more princes and nobles in the imperial capital than in Linshui City, drinking tea, tasting snacks, listening to the guzheng, and a new cross talk commentary, which is not only enjoyable, but also beneficial and cultivated, is there anything more comfortable than this.
In just over ten days, the number of members of the Xingchen Teahouse has reached 100! Grandpa Fu, who followed Mo Hongxian over, counted his income and felt a little dizzy in his mind. If he hadn't worked hard to control it, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to withstand such a big impact.
Mo Hongxian, who was in charge of the operation, kept swallowing her saliva, and at first she complained about changing the plan, but now she can see the huge benefits of the membership system. couldn't help but murmur: "Ten million a year, that's what the little brother said, local tyrant!"
This time. The Xingchen Teahouse has been completely spread in the upper echelons of the aristocracy, and Hongyuan City still doesn't know what to do, but just the two teahouses in the Imperial Capital and Linshui City have enough income to make everyone jealous.
At this time, Sun Sanqiang in Linshui City couldn't close his mouth: "If you reach 100 people, it will be 10 million a year! There are too many dignitaries and nobles in the imperial capital, and a hundred members will definitely not be able to beat it! Even if Hongyuan City is a little less." It is estimated that there is no problem with a turnover of 30 million a year......"
When Sun Sanqiang spoke, the old man's eyes lit up! Even if the Tang family has a great cause, it is a large family in the empire. Hearing this number, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
However, unlike the two of them, Jiang Xingchen was silent. Although he was also dizzy by the impact of the 30 million number. But he kept his composure.
Sun Sanqiang's words fell, Jiang Xingchen shook his head: "There are more than twenty catties of tea in total, and if the three families are separated, that is, six or seven catties, it can't support too many people to drink for a long time, and once the stock is out of stock, the brand will be smashed!"
After pondering for a while, Jiang Xingchen said categorically: "Stop the membership immediately." The number of people in Linshui City remained at sixty, and the imperial capital suspended it. It must not exceed a hundred people, and Hongyuan City can only handle fifty people!"
Sun Sanqiang and the old man were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, although it was a little painful to cut nearly 10 million income at once, but Jiang Xingchen's words were right, the quantity of tea is the key, you collect the money, but there is no tea supply, then not only the brand of Xingchen Teahouse is ruined, but even Jiang Xingchen's reputation is ruined, isn't this a fraud money!
So, Sun Sanqiang immediately wrote to Mo Hongxian and told her Jiang Xingchen's decision.
The next day, the Xingchen Teahouse in Linshui City and the Imperial Capital released a message at the same time to stop membership!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many people! They had just allocated funds and were preparing to handle membership! In order to let the heirs of the family absorb more vitality, after all, there is no place for ordinary families to get such things as Yuanshi.
But who knew that the Xingchen Teahouse was no longer handling members, isn't this Nima a pit person, hanging us in mid-air.
But then, Xingchen Teahouse gave an explanation, not that it did not apply for membership, but that the stock of tea could not supply too many people to drink.
It's not that they don't earn money, but they can't earn it, this explanation is reasonable, and no matter how dissatisfied these people are, there is no way.
Then, there was a trend in the upper echelons of the aristocracy to acquire the membership certificate of the Star Teahouse. As a result, the price of a membership certificate has continued to grow wildly, from 110,000 citrine coins to 120,000 or 130,000...... The last even reached 150,000.
Especially those gentlemen from big families, they regard this as a competition of identity and connections, grab two more membership certificates, and lead friends to a trip to the Xingchen Teahouse, which is so face-saving!
The reopening of Xingchen Teahouse has gone through more than half a month, and some people are happy and some are sad.
Of course, the happy ones are Jiang Xingchen, Sun Sanqiang, and Grandpa Fu, the huge income has made them rich overnight, no matter how they control it, their emotions can't be calmed down for a long time.
There are many people who are worried. Those who watched the teahouse make money earlier and followed suit, seeing a lot of money entering the Xingchen Teahouse, they were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood. Heaven also favors Jiang Xingchen too much, honey water, sunflower seeds are all unique, and now he actually makes a tea ...... Ma Le is forced, I don't have such a good life for anything.
In fact, if you talk about it, Jiang Xingchen is seizing high-end customers, and there is no conflict with them.
But now the key problem is that they don't have a brand new joke in their hands to attract the audience, and they don't have a diet that can hold people!
If you eat too much of anything, you will get tired of listening to it too much, and their teahouse can only watch the audience continue to lose.
At this time, they realized that all along, they had lived on the soil of the Star Teahouse, because they did not have the ability to innovate. Once the Star Teahouse is out of touch with them, it will be impossible for them to make money again.
"If I knew this, I wouldn't have squeezed them in the first place, people eat meat, and we can drink some soup, which is like now......" All the teahouse operators only now understand.
And Young Master Wang of Linshui City, Zhang Jia and a few other young people could only drink depressedly every day, and then vent and scold Jiang Xingchen for being insidious......
In early June, Jiang Xingchen was invited by Wei Ning to the Sixth Army.
"Jiang Xingchen, you said it when your teahouse opened, and promised me a request afterwards!" Wei Ning said with a smile.
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen twitched the corner of his eyes and muttered, "Mind me...... Legionnaire, you said at the time that I couldn't get something you liked, so I agreed to your request......"
As soon as Jiang Xingchen said this, Wei Ning's complexion immediately changed, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Boy, don't come to this set, don't admit it! You are breaking a big stone in my chest, saying that with our relationship, what is the matter!"
"I'm just polite, it's a matter of face, how do you know that you are still here...... Nima, this broken mouth, why hasn't it changed, how many times, knowing that Lu Dao pretended to end badly......" Jiang Xingchen blamed himself loudly in his heart.
"What's that...... Commander, I still have urgent matters at home, please wait for me to free up......"
Jiang Xingchen spoke weakly, and wanted to fight for it. But Wei Ning glared at him and said loudly: "Boy, don't play tricks on me, when you get free, I don't know how many years later...... Tell you, if you don't say yes today, don't even think about leaving my barracks!"
Jiang Xingchen blinked helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Legion Commander, you are ...... Isn't it kidnapping! The old man is still waiting for me outside, if he knows ...... way."
"Hey, hey, hey......" Wei Ning suddenly let out a burst of eerie laughter, and Jiang Xingchen's whole body was hairy.
"Do you think the old man will come to save you...... I arranged for more than 20 of my officers to play chess with him, and he lost drinking...... Boy, this chess game is still a game you invented!" Wei Ning said.
"Nima!" Jiang Xingchen's eyes widened, and he cursed loudly in his heart: "You are too damaged, the old man's typical addiction skills are poor, and you let people play chess, gamble and drink with him...... Are you the commander of the Legion, it's too insidious!"
"Hey, kid, how's it going?" Wei Ning asked with a smug smile.
Jiang Xingchen pursed his lips and asked helplessly, "Commander, why do you have to let me know what the Dao is about!"
As soon as he got down to business, Wei Ning immediately put away his playful posture and his expression became serious.
"Qi Yue leads the fertile fields for thousands of miles, and there is no natural danger to defend! Only Jin Jiancheng, which is opposite the Tongyu Kingdom, stands between two hills, and can be used as a barrier...... Now we need to take this city down, so I'm going to ask for your help!"
Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes and said loudly: "Commander, aren't you difficult for a strong man, how can I fight!"
"Boy, don't laugh! Wu Tianfeng captured Pingjun City, Tang Chuxue defeated Tianyi Kingdom, it was all your effort! This time, you have to help me, if you can take Jin Jiancheng, it will be of great significance to the entire empire!" Wei Ning said very seriously.
"Huge significance!" Jiang Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he became serious, what he needed now was credit, he had to get to the wetland hills twenty miles northeast of the territory.
"Legion Commander, do you want to capture the Jade Kingdom's Jin Jian City, the military headquarters and the Great Emperor know the Dao?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
For such a big matter, he had to figure out whether Wei Ning acted on his own for the sake of military merits, or whether it was the intention of the empire. These two situations are different, don't come back, he helps Wei Ning, and it is not good to be the last.
"What do you think, boy, can I make my own decisions about such a military operation? It was an order issued by the military headquarters, asking me to arrange it as soon as possible and prepare to take Jin Jiancheng at any time...... However, we are facing Jin Jiancheng with a flat horse, there is no cover, once the war starts, it will be a huge casualty, so I asked you to help me with this!"
Jiang Xingchen was just about to speak, when he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "When the empire suddenly went to war, and chose to be busy with farming, was it just to add a barrier to Qi Yueling?" (To be continued......)
