Chapter 61: Wine Tasting

The strategies that Li Ling is talking about now are all those classic marketing models from his previous life.

The reason why it is called a classic is because this model firmly grasps the human psychology and has achieved great success.

Now that Bai Feng was skeptical and wanted to make a bet, Li Ling of course gladly accepted it.

It would be a fool not to make such a winning bet.

Li Ling: "That's it, if this kind of wine can be sold for 5,000 taels of silver a bottle, even if you lose, if you can't sell it, even if I lose." ”

"How about losing, how about winning?" Bai Ran said.

Bai Ting and Bai Qi did not interject, and they became melon-eating people who did not think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

"I'm not going to lose. Li Ling thought for a while and said to Bai Feng: "If you lose, you can help me wash my clothes for a month, how about it?"

Bai Feng's cheeks turned crimson when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth, "Okay!"

"If you lose,"

Bai Feng was silent for a moment and said, "If you lose, how about you protect our Bai family's five-year covenant become ten years." ”

Li Ling shook his head, "It's impossible for me to stay here for so long, let's change the conditions." ”

The Bai family brothers and sisters showed gloomy expressions on their faces.

Bai Feng: "Then I can't remember it for the time being, let's talk about it when I think about it later." ”

"So be it. Li Ling said: "If I really lose, of course this is impossible, then I will pass on to you a set of techniques, which is guaranteed to be many times better than what you are practicing now." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Bai family looked at each other, Bai Ting nodded, and Bai Feng: "Okay, it's decided." ”

A few people were about to leave, when Li Ling suddenly remembered something and stopped Bai Qi, "Wait a minute." ”

"What?, want to regret it?" Bai Feng wondered.

Li Ling ignored her and faced Bai Qi, "I almost forgot one thing, you tell the craftsman in charge of making the wine bottles, and then inscribe a poem on each bottle, so that the style is even higher." ”

"Well, it means high-end. ”

Seeing that a few people really didn't understand what it meant, Li Ling changed to an easy-to-understand word.

"Title poem?" Bai Qi was confused, "What kind of poem is it?"

"Of course, it's a poem about the benefits of drinking. ”

Bai Qi said with a bitter face: "Then there are so many poems about wine?"

"It turns out that poetry is not popular in this world, so I'll come to dozens of poems myself. ”

Li Ling muttered, "It's not easy to do, I'll make a few songs myself." ”

He paced back and forth a few times in place with his hands behind his back, and said: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately, drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times..."

"Five-flowered horse, daughter Qiu, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and eliminate eternal sorrow with you..."

"Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy under peach blossom nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year..."

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight..."

The Bai family brothers and sisters looked at Li Ling like a monster, Bai Ting was conceited and knowledgeable, but he had never heard a single poem, and he said tentatively at the moment: "These poems were improvised by you?"

Li Ling nodded, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating, "I am not good at level, I can make these things for the time being, and I will think about it when I go back, and strive to make a few more songs." ”

"Level, no?"

The brothers and sisters of the Bai family looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "If your level can be called bad, then everyone else is nothing, and they all have to die." ”

"It's too shocking. ”

"Each of these can be called quatrains for the ages, you only pondered for a while and then came casually, which is too against the sky. ”

It seems that as he said, these poems are inscribed on the wine bottle, which will definitely double the value of the wine, that is, it will instantly increase the price of the wine. ”

"It turns out that there are really peerless geniuses in this world, and the reason why geniuses are called geniuses is because compared with ordinary people, the gap between the two is not made up by hard work. ”

Bai Qi smiled bitterly: "What you just said was too fast, I didn't remember it." ”

Bai Ting: "I remembered everything, so I printed these poems on those bottles according to Master Li's request." ”

Bai Feng was a little depressed, savoring the poem Li Ling had just recited, "Half-awake and half-drunk day after day, flowers bloom year after year..."

She began to feel less confident about the things she bet on.

Is it really going to wash his clothes for a month, it's not a shame to throw it to his grandmother's house.

......

Now the Bai family's paper business is booming, there are many rich people, businessmen give a little face, and within a few days of the invitation to the wine tasting conference, many people have come one after another.

In the past few days, everyone has been talking about the Bai family's wine tasting meeting.

"What kind of wine tasting party do you say the Bai family has to offer? What's so good about this wine? Isn't it all the same taste?"

"Yes, I see that the Bai family has made some money these days, and they are deliberately showing off. ”

"I can also make wine, isn't it just fermenting grain? This is still a meeting? Can the Bai family still make flowers?"

"Maybe, my brother-in-law works in the Bai family's paper mill, and he said that he always smells a strong aroma of wine these days, which is completely different from the taste he usually drinks. ”

For a while, there were different opinions and speculations.

Soon, it was time for the tasting.

According to Li Ling's request, a huge banner was hung on the Bai family's martial arts arena, which read a line of big words to congratulate the Bai family's first wine tasting conference on the successful convening, and the field was full of flowers, a cluster of flowers.

The servants of the Bai family on the sidelines also uniformly dressed and were responsible for maintaining order and various matters.

People from all sides entered the room one after another, and Yubai first spoke about the scene, and then the servants brought the wine that had been prepared to each table.

The well-made wine bottle immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone exchanged praise and praise.

Especially seeing the poems on each bottle is even more amazing.

"Who wrote this poem, quatrain? ”

"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio... What a poem, the old man can see such good words in his lifetime, it is really in vain to come here. ”

"Look at this one, Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light... It's so appetizing, I can't wait to taste the flavors of this bottle..."

From time to time, there were various voices such as exclamation and praise in the audience, and everyone was impressed by the poems on the bottle.

The brothers and sisters of the Bai family smiled relatively bitterly in the field, and their reaction to everyone was not strange, and Li Ling, who they listened to that day, also reacted to these poems.

And they are even more amazing than these people, because they know that all these times come from the mouth of one man.

After reading these poems, everyone had an impulse to open the bottle and see what kind of wine it was, and it was itching to be worthy of such a beautiful bottle.

However, the Bai family didn't speak, and everyone was not rude to open it first to taste.

At the front desk, Bai Qi said loudly: "The wine in front of you is a kind of wine that my Bai family has successfully developed for 20 years, which is made of water from hundreds of meters deep underground dark river, high-quality grains, fresh fruits, supplemented by various precious medicinal materials such as snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, which takes 9981 days to ferment.

Bai Qi's face became hot as he spoke,

I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into,

He's talking nonsense with his eyes open.

In fact, these words are not his original, but taught by Li Ling,

Blowing this ordinary grain wine into the sky, omnipotent.

Originally, Bai Qi was reluctant to brag about this bull, but he couldn't bear Li Ling's repeated requests, and if he didn't say so, he would take back the brewing right, so that he would be soft.

Bai Feng, Bai Ran, and the juniors of the Bai family below were dumbfounded, and in their memories, Bai Qi had always been old and steady, how could he seem to be a different person today.

Is this still the sixth brother?

"It must have been taught to him by Li Ling. Bai Ting guessed the truth in one bite.

"This guy has taught the sixth brother badly. Bai Ran stomped his feet fiercely.

Bai Feng looked at Li Ling, who was leisurely on the sidelines, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes, she had a premonition that she didn't dare to, it seemed that the final result of the bet with Li Ling might end in failure.

The other people at the table didn't know that Bai Qi was talking about it, and they were all surprised when they heard it.

They didn't expect that making a wine could be so complicated, and of course they were even more curious about it.

Finally, Bai Qi finished his introduction, and ordered the servants to open the wine on each table.

Suddenly, the rich aroma of wine permeated the entire audience, and everyone couldn't help but sniff with an expression of enjoyment on their faces.

The servant had been commanded, and after pouring half a cup of wine into the little cup in front of him, he put it away.

Bai Qi made a gesture of please, "Please taste it." ”

He had recovered from his previous embarrassment, and the wines were made by his own hands, and he was absolutely sure of the taste of the wines.

One after another, people picked up their cups and tasted them.

There was a deathly silence, and the expressions of the wine tasters were different, but no one spoke, savoring the taste.

"How's that? ”

"Let me taste it. ”

"What's your expression? Is it delicious?"

The crowd on the sidelines broke the silence and began to ask questions.

The person who tasted the wine first reacted and said to the servant of the Bai family beside him: "Hey, who is that, pour me another glass." ”

The old man who was tasting wine next to him stood up and said, "This cup is too small, go and change it to a bigger one for the old man, well, let's use the bowl directly, so that the wine is happy." ”

The other wine tasters also reacted, and they were not in a hurry to answer the questions of the people on the sidelines whether it was good or not, and they couldn't wait to have a second drink.

"Please be quiet. Bai Qi pressed his hands weakly, stopped the noise, and said: "I'm sorry everyone, because this kind of wine is really not easy to make, and each bottle consumes huge manpower and material resources, so you can only drink such a small glass, and later it will be served from the wine from the Condu Winery, as well as all kinds of exquisite snacks, you can drink happily." ”

The Kangdu Winery is the largest wine-making place in the Qin Kingdom, with branches throughout the country.

A wail sounded in the crowd, startling everyone, and when they turned their heads, it was a young man in brocade who had just tasted wine.

Someone recognized him as the young master of the largest jewelry firm in Tianshui City, named Zhang Jie.

"Zhang Jie, what the hell is your name? ”

Someone opened his mouth to rebuke.

Zhang Jie had a bitter face, and shouted to Bai Qi: "Sixth Master Bai, you said that you would come to taste the wine, why only let us taste such a little, it is not enjoyable at all, and you let us taste your wine, and then let us drink the wine of Kangdu Winery, isn't this a pit person? After drinking this kind of wine, I will drink other wine at all." ”

"Yes, Sixth Master Bai, you can't be so stingy, everyone came from afar to cheer you on, why do you have to give everyone a bottle of such wine. ”

"Ah, what a bottle, why do you have to give us a hundred and ten bottles. ”

The field fell into a commotion again, and some people who had finished tasting the wine looked at the wine that had been put away by the servants, and there was a great sense of going up to grab it.

Bai Qi smiled bitterly. Said: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's really that this kind of wine is too difficult to refine, you should have found that this wine is different from other wines, it is clear and transparent, not only because of the factor of using hundreds of meters of groundwater, but also after thirty processes of purification, filtration, to ensure that there is no impurity, very troublesome, so far, my Bai family has only brewed a hundred bottles." ”

Everyone nodded slowly in understanding.

At this moment, everyone no longer knows how the Bai family's wine is, so it's really time to go to the ophthalmologist to see their eyes.

Zhang Jie of Tianshui City said: "Sixth Master Bai, since the Bai family invited me to come and taste the wine, they are ready to sell this wine, you can make a price, I want this hundred bottles." ”

His opening immediately provoked the anger of the people, and several people immediately began to shout.

"Zhang Dashao, your appetite is too big, right? ”

"Sixth Master Bai, I want fifty bottles, let's talk about it first. ”

"I want fifty bottles too. ”

The crowd argued.

Bai Qi: "Everyone, be quiet first, I haven't announced the price of this wine yet, if you are interested, I guarantee that everyone will have a share." ”

Everyone quieted down and waited for Bai Qi to announce the price.

Bai Qi beat a drum in his heart, but on the surface, he said calmly: "Considering all aspects, each bottle is temporarily set at one thousand taels of silver, if you are too expensive, we will launch a lower brewing cost wine later, and you are welcome to buy it when the time comes." ”

There was a gasp at the scene.

A bottle of wine costs a thousand taels, what is this wine made of, is it gold?

Now the economy of the Qin State is not good, it is difficult to earn money, and a thousand silver may not be able to earn an ordinary person for ten years.

Many people were stunned and shook their heads, feeling that the price that the Bai family wanted was really a bit unbelievable.

In other words, the small glass of wine that those people drank just now cost dozens of taels of silver, which was about the same price as the most expensive jar of wine before.

Bai Qi took in everyone's reactions, and it was normal for everyone to have this reaction, after all, Li Ling set the price of this wine too high.

That's a hundred times higher than the best wines ever made.

Someone asked if the price of Bai Qi could be cheaper, and these people were all excited, but they couldn't accept it for a while.

Bai Qi: "I'm sorry everyone, the cost of this wine is too high, to be honest, one thousand silver taels is not enough to make this wine The manpower and material resources required, and only a few dozen bottles of Liao Liao can be brewed a year." ”

"You came from afar to support our Bai family, and the Bai family sold it to you at a loss, and this wine will be sold for 1,500 bottles in the future. ”

Everyone was silent, each with their own ideas, and everyone did not doubt the truth of Bai Qi's words, in everyone's opinion, Bai Qi's family of Jiangmen, for Bai Qi's character, everyone has always been very relieved.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the servants, "Send the wine back to the cellar." ”

The servants left with dozens of bottles of wine, and Zhang Jie from Tianshui City suddenly shouted, "Wait." ”

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Jie happily took out a silver ticket from his arms, "Bai Liuye, since everyone doesn't want it, then I will buy all the wine, here is 100,000 taels of silver tickets, please take a look, hey, our Zhang family doesn't have much anything, just a lot of money..."

It's really rich.

The melon-eating crowd on the sidelines was envious, the men were envious and jealous, and the women's eyes were shining, constantly discharging to Zhang Dashao.

Zhang Jiezhi was full of pride, and beckoned his entourage to prepare a carriage to load the wine.

"Hey, Young Master Zhang, did we say we didn't buy it? ”

"That's it, that's it, this wine is worth one thousand and one taels, give me ten bottles. ”

"I want twenty bottles, and next month, the prefect's mother will celebrate her birthday, and I'm worried about what gift to give. ”

"Don't rob it, don't rob it, I'll give you 1,500 taels for a bottle, Bai Liuye, leave me fifty bottles." ”

"Hehe, do you wish the family wealth to bully people? I will give two thousand taels of silver for a bottle. ”

"I'll give three thousand taels, don't rob it with Lao Tzu. ”

"Sixth Master Bai, if you sell me fifty bottles, I will give you a seven-percent discount on your Bai family's goods in the future. ”

Many people rushed forward, for fear that they would not be able to grab it too late, a hundred bottles were simply not enough, it was really in short supply, and they were about to fight in the end.

Many people were even more afraid that they would not be able to take their turn, so they took the initiative to increase the price, and in just a short time, they even called a sky-high price of 3,500 taels of bottles.

However, the Bai family did not follow the principle of who gave the price higher to whom, and still insisted on a bottle of 1,000 taels of silver. Adopt a strategy of limiting sales to each person, stipulating that each person can only buy a maximum of two bottles, so that everyone who comes can be taken care of.

On the sidelines, Bai Jiaji and other villagers and villagers were dumbfounded.

Isn't this just wine? How can it be more expensive than gold, and why are so many people robbing things that can be drunk in one sip?

Sure enough, it is poverty that limits our imagination, and we really don't understand the world of the rich.
