1619 Deploying tea leaves(2/2)
The eldest steward spent twenty silver coins to inquire about some information from Mr. Ge Er's servant, and found out that the elusive but very powerful person mentioned in the eldest young master's letter turned out to be the person who had dinner with him in the evening. The eldest steward directly
He was dumbfounded. It seems that this shouldn't be as simple as the city lord's illegitimate son. It even cost the city lord's palace. The most terrible thing is that he offended the two major forces of the city lord's palace and Chang Shi's palace. But people from these two major forces
No one has stood up and said a word. What does this mean? Could it be that they can't afford to offend this person? This idea was not only in the mind of the chief manager, but also Mr. Hu started to murmur at this time. He originally thought he was a city lord.
Illegitimate children are the ones they should fawn over. Let’s not talk about anything else. In the counties below the county, there are all kinds of rich people like Mr. Hu who are not fifty but thirty. If they want to fawn over, there must be some.
They are not qualified to be the illegitimate son of the city lord. Although they have registered with the city lord, it may not be very effective. But someone dares to offend his own master's master. What kind of background must he have?
Are you from the provincial capital or the imperial capital? Thinking of the imperial capital, Mr. Hu feels that all the blood in his body is spinning rapidly. Such a good opportunity?
The people of Lao Zhao's family were transformed from stewards to civilians in one night. Some of those who resisted died immediately. It turned out that the whole family of the second steward's family was kicked out of the steward's house in one night.
, are you kidding me? Don’t you all know who you offended now? Mr. Hu thought that he wanted someone else’s life. Hurry up and call all the stewards and issue a silence order. Just take the time.
It hasn’t been long yet, and the words haven’t spread yet. Otherwise, I might not be able to save my life. Back then, they even dared to rob people from the City Lord’s Mansion. Where would I have the burden to fight with others? Do I think I have a long life?
.
When Li Cong got up the next day, he saw Lao Yang coming in and saying that Mr. Hu was old and wanted to visit Li Cong. The place where Li Cong lived was no longer the hotel they were looking for. It was another courtyard belonging to Mr. Hu. It still looked the same.
It's very good. Of course, it can't be compared with Li Cong's residence in the county town, but it is quieter than there. Li Cong also knows that they must have learned about their affairs from Mr. Ge Erye, otherwise, today
It's not that easy for me to meet Mr. Hu.
It can be said that Mr. Hu's airs are gone today. He has been waiting outside Li Cong's door. This kind of thing made many people dumbfounded. This Mr. Hu in the local area can stomp around in the entire county.
People don’t come to this courtyard very often. They bought it to give gifts, so the people here are less familiar with the master. However, they have seen the domineering look of their master before. Now this master
But it was the first time they met.
"Boss Hu, please wait." Li Cong got up, freshened up, and came out. His tone was very natural, as if this was not Boss Hu's courtyard at all, but as if this was Li Cong's courtyard.
What is depressing is that Mr. Hu himself thinks so in his heart. It is a skill to overshadow the guest and usurp the master so that the original owner thinks it is true.
"Yesterday, the old man's headache suddenly broke out. I'm really sorry, sir. Otherwise, I would have come here a long time ago. I came here this morning. I hope you don't mind, sir." Mr. Hu started to apologize as soon as he entered the door. If he hadn't been afraid of disturbing Li
If Cong was resting, he would have asked Li Cong to get up and apologize properly when he came over before dawn in the morning, but it was not too late now. The look on Li Cong’s face showed no intention to embarrass him.
It should be like this, but if Li Cong is really a big shot from the imperial capital, this matter will not end so easily. Li Cong will definitely play a trick on him.
"Haha, it's okay. Everyone has a headache. Don't take this Mr. Hu to heart." Li Cong said with a smile. If he wanted to quickly enter the upper class society, he had to control himself and look like he was nothing.
It’s okay to not care about them. Only by being strong without desire can you catch them all. Seeing that Li Cong really didn’t care about such trivial matters with him, Mr. Hu really thought that Li Cong was from a big place.
If someone comes from a small place, he will definitely seize on this matter. This way, the petty arrogance will definitely not come from people in the imperial capital. Mr. Hu will believe in Li Cong's background even more.
"Mr. Li, I know that you must have something to do when purchasing tea forests in large quantities. I don't know if you can tell me about your big things?" Mr. Hu thought for a while and said, of course, he was the one at the moment.
He looked at Li Cong very nervously. If he was allowed to join, he would definitely have to occupy some shares at a disadvantage. If he was not allowed to join, it would mean that he could not get involved in this matter, so he could not get involved.
I won’t say anything else. Just give him the tea trees and other things he prepared. The money will be treated as a token of filial piety to Li Cong. Even if he doesn’t help him when we meet in the future, he won’t embarrass himself.
"Haha, Mr. Hu is right. We do want to do a tea business, but our industry is completely different from others. Of course Mr. Hu wants to take a share. There is no problem, but this share
Mr. Hu needs to be prepared for the problem, so for you, ten thousand gold can only account for one thousandth. But Mr. Hu can use his land, population and other things to invest in shares. I dare to guarantee Mr. Hu,
The money you invested will come back several times in the past few months." Li Cong said with a smile. He had also thought about relying on Zhao Hu, but Zhao Hu was just a tea farmer and he didn't understand many things.
. This Mr. Hu is different. He is a big squire here. He knows a lot of things. If he is no longer here, Mr. Hu can also take charge of his own affairs. Ten thousand gold coins account for one thousandth of the total.
Shares are also available.
Mr. Hu was dumbfounded after hearing Li Cong's words. Damn it, this guy was lying to him. These ten thousand gold coins are definitely not a small amount. It only accounts for one thousandth of the shares.
What kind of business is this? A sale of tens of millions of gold coins? Thinking about it, you will be surprised. You must know that the tax revenue of the entire county is only a few million gold coins, which is more than the annual income of a county.
What kind of high-priced business is it? Tea? Impossible. This thing only costs tens of copper coins per pound. There is no way it can make much profit. How can it be sold at such a good price?
"Master Hu doesn't need to express his position. How about Master Hu trying this tea?" Li Cong smiled and put a cup of modern green tea in front of Master Hu. Master Hu took a look and said, "Good guy, this is also tea? Why is it transparent?"
Well, everyone knows that the clearer the tea leaves, the better. But when it is clear, the taste will definitely not be that good. Mr. Hu picked it up and smelled it. Yes, the taste is really fresh, Hu
Mr. Hu has also drunk a lot of good tea, including some other drinks on the grassland, but I have never drunk this cup of tea. I have never seen it. Mr. Hu picked it up and took a sip because of the taste.
Good guy, it’s really refreshing and refreshing. It’s very good. Mr. Hu drank the tea in the cup in one sip. It seemed to be a little refreshing. Mr. Hu looked like the empty tea cup. Suddenly
I seem to understand something. If they really want to do this tea business, tens of millions of gold coins are nothing. If nothing else, just this cup of tea, if I spend dozens of gold coins to buy it, I will definitely get this.
Money, because this is really great value for money. If everyone drinks this tea, they will never touch those famous teas in the past. Those teas are like shit compared to this.
"Good tea, really good tea. It seems that the procedures for making tea are a little different from those here. Is this the tea business that Mr. Li mentioned?" Mr. Hu finished the water in the teacup and began to think about the teapot.
Yes, this is really good stuff.
"Master Hu is right. This is our new product tea. I wonder what price Master Hu thinks one tael of such tea can fetch?" Li Cong smiled and poured another cup for Master Hu. Li Cong actually said that he was very interested in this place.
I don’t know much about the tea market in China, but those who know about the tea market in ancient China, at that time, a few hundred taels of silver could not necessarily buy one or two grades of tea, just like the Longjing tea that was exclusively for the emperor. This thing was not
What a joke, some people can't even buy one tael for ten thousand taels of silver. On this planet, people like drinking tea more than people in China. I guess the price will still be high.
Mr. Hu is not a tea drinker, but he is not opposed to this thing. However, after drinking this sip of tea from Li Cong, he will probably become a staunch tea drinker in the future. Mr. Hu has no idea about the valuation of this thing.
You will think a lot. Poor people don’t need to think about it. They don’t deserve this at all. Rich people can better estimate that the best tea now is not from their own place, but from other administrative regions. It is said that such tea can
I have never drank the tea priced at 300 gold coins per tael, but I have drunk the second-class tea priced at 200 gold coins per tael. It is incomparable to the one in front of me. I don’t know about other people, but
If you want to choose by yourself, I will pay for one or two 400 gold coins.
"Mr. Li, this is a matter of preference. But for me, if there is such a tea on the market, I will have no problem with two or three hundred gold coins." Mr. Hu thought for a while and said, this tea is the best.
Hurry up, there is something for sale, otherwise you will have to drink boiled water when you go back. These wealthy people have rules. Basically, they will not drink boiled water. Most people drink tea.
Even poor people want drinking water at home.
Li Cong frowned at one or two hundred gold coins. This price was a bit different from what Li Cong thought. Li Cong felt that this tea should be worth three hundred or two gold coins, but what he didn't know was that it was Hu.
The master is being conservative. Sales haven't started yet anyway, and Li Cong won't take this matter seriously. He is about to leave here after saying a few words. Who knows that Mr. Hu has brought out a bunch of them?
The things looked like land deeds or something.
"Mr. Hu, what does this mean?" Li Cong pointed to the documents in front of him with some confusion. Each of these was quite expensive.
"Mr. Li, I really want to join the deal you just mentioned. One thousandth of a share for 10,000 gold is no problem. These are some of the supporting facilities around the tea forests purchased by my Hu family. I don't know if this can be done."
Count it as my share." Mr. Hu thought for a while and said, he was very confident about this. But now he really doesn't have any funds in his hand. The most important thing is that now he can see that Li never
Like a person who is short of money, what he wants is a local collaborator. Mr. Hu believes that his eyes have never seen the wrong person in his life, just like this time. If he becomes the collaborator of the person in front of him, he will definitely do it in the future.
The future will be bright and there will be no need to stay in such a small place.
Li Cong took a look and found that this was worth about 20,000 gold coins. The tens of thousands of acres of tea forests, workers and other things in this county were all bought by this guy, and the workshops and other things were all in the hands of this guy.
Well, this guy is basically going to form a monopoly. If I don't cooperate with him, I may really have no chance to start work.
"Okay, Mr. Hu, these are your 30,000 gold coins. I will give you 0.3% of the shares. This is the maximum I can give. I hope Mr. Hu will not let us down. This 10,000 gold coins will be divided into shares."
Gold coins are our start-up capital. I think Mr. Hu can help a few of my guys to gain a foothold here. Also, Mr. Hu can use your influence to help me find some skilled tea fryers, so that we can get started earlier.
Let's make the money back." Li Cong thought for a while and said, let this Mr. Hu earn 10,000 gold coins. Mr. Hu is a businessman after all, and he has to do business to please people. After hearing Li Cong's generous terms
After that, I will definitely cooperate with Li Cong immediately, and I may start to take off here in the future.
Li Cong did have the process of tea frying, but he had to find a few people to teach them. Li Cong left this matter to Zhao Hu. Some of the tea frying workers Zhao Hu knew basically just looked at the process.
They knew what to do. Of course, they didn't believe that they could make such a high-quality tea. Moreover, many people thought that this was a waste of tea and it would never come out. For the sake of confidentiality, Li Cong brought him here.
Several people were called over. They had to do the last and most critical procedure themselves. It was absolutely impossible for people on this planet to learn it. In that case, they would have lost all their money.
Everyone here cannot be trusted, and they may be your opponents in the future.
Just when Li Cong and Mr. Hu had agreed on these matters, news came from the county town that the auction in Yitiandang was about to begin, and they asked Li Cong if he wanted to go back. Of course Li Cong wanted to go back, Hu
The master also happened to be going to this auction. He is also the richest man in the county. He should go in such a prosperous time. Otherwise, he would have thought that he had no money. But this time he really had no money.
All his money was used for cooperation. Mr. Hu knew that the more shares he owned, the greater the benefits he would get. Don't look at the fact that it is only three thousandths now, but Mr. Hu told himself that it is just this one thousandth.
Three might be able to enjoy it for a while.
Mr. Hu can sit in his sedan chair and go back slowly, but Li Cong has nothing better to do. He has to go to Yitian Dang quickly. He still has a lot of tea samples, and he must pass through Yitian Dang.
Come to test the waters, for example, give them free tea leaves? This was almost impossible in ancient times. Many people now know how to sell services for consumption, and increase their popularity by giving away some things.
, but this thing was definitely the newest thing in ancient times, and most people basically didn’t know how to do it.
So when Li Cong arrived in Yitian and said that he wanted to sponsor the tea that day, several people in charge were stunned. This guy was the one who sold more than one million gold coins last time. This time he didn't come because of
The reason for the auction was to contribute tea leaves, which many people in Yitiandang didn't quite understand. The young man who worked with Li Cong last time has left, and now Yitiandang has resumed its role as the big shopkeeper.
, he knew Li Cong. He heard that Li Cong was going to contribute some tea leaves to the entire conference. This guy was very happy. A dozen days ago, this guy was like Xu I was unemployed. How could he be here now?
Such great skill, but if you think about what he did, he might have been beheaded, but he still came here.
The big shopkeeper doesn't care much about the naming rights of this advertisement. What he cares about is that this is a good day for Yitian. This cannot be delayed by other things. He is semi-supportive of the whole suggestion.
Li Cong not only worked hard on the tea cup night, but also made some small gifts and so on. Anyway, it was executed around Li Cong's new tea "Biluochun". This Biluochun can be said to be the best for a three-year-old baby on earth.
It's very clear, but when we get here, not many people know them about this thing. When they come and see those thin strips on the table, they will never believe that this is tea. In their opinion, it should be
Something was burned.
Although Yitian, the big shopkeeper, didn't understand what it meant, he also understood that this kid was taking advantage of them. However, this guy didn't let Yitian suffer, and he also helped them pay for all the stage expenses.
, Li Cong knows that the money will be back in a few days, so there is no need to be so stingy now...)
