Chapter 8 Commercial Confidentiality No Comments

Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the two of them, Fang Zhengyi continued to talk:

"Come on, I'm here to tell you some tips on how to do business!"

"The purchase price is one hundred taels per catty. Why don't you sell him two hundred taels when we get to the capital?"

“It doesn’t matter whether anyone buys it or not, create product positioning first!”

"Let's just say that our tea is grown in the best prime locations, with eight hours of sunshine every day! Every acre of land is taken care of by dedicated personnel!"

"There are natural hot springs next to the tea garden, and there are gold mines underground. The girls picking tea are all virgins who are as beautiful as gods. They are also the kind who are both talented in poetry and painting. They pick tea with the tip of their tongues and recite a poem every time they pick a tea leaf!"

"In addition, it is best to order another batch of exquisite porcelain boxes from this county. Each box contains half a tael of tea. Give it a name, let's call it small box of tea!"

"When I sold it, I said that only princes and nobles are qualified to drink this tea. If you don't drink it in the court, are you still a human being? Do you still want to mix in the circle?"

"Do you know what aristocrats are? No matter what they buy, they always buy the most expensive ones, not the best ones!"

"So our slogan in Taoyuan County is: Don't seek the best! But seek the most expensive!"

Eunuch Guo covered his face in shame.

I thought that after being in the palace for decades, I was already full of tricks.

When I met Fang Zhengyi today, I realized that you have to be the one to be a dog!

Sure enough, there is no limit to learning!

Emperor Jing was silent, and in a trance he felt like he had turned into a green leek.

Is it possible that all purchases in the palace are deceived like this...

Seeing the two of them lost in thought, Fang Zhengyi smiled happily, and spread advanced market concepts to the lost lamb, merit 2.

While the three of them were silent, food began to be passed to the second floor.

To show his respect, Zhang Laoliu personally brought the food upstairs.

"Hahahahahahaha, here comes the chicken soup!"

When the chicken soup was served, the heat was rising. It looked like it had been simmering for a long time and the white meat was rotten.

"Come, let's have some soup first. You two have a difficult journey, so it's a great thing to come to our Taoyuan County to drink chicken soup!"

Fang Zheng first served a bowl of chicken soup to Emperor Jing and dug out a piece of chicken leg.

Then he served himself another bowl and dug out a piece of chicken drumstick.

Finally, I served Guo Tianyang a bowl and scooped out a piece of chicken breast.

Guo Tianyang gave Fang Zheng a resentful look.

When Fang Zheng saw it, he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the person in front of him is the real master. You have so many scenes as a follower, you have meat to eat, and you talk in a weird way!

"I wonder if you two are interested in this tea? Although the porcelain in Taoyuan County is good, it is not unique in the world."

"The profit from selling tea is much higher than that of porcelain, and it is easy to transport and there will be no loss on the road."

Emperor Jing drank the soup and nodded with satisfaction.

The soup is delicious and the chicken is soft and tender. It is a delicacy that has never been tasted in the palace.

"Magistrate Fang, don't you know the name of this tea?"

Hmm... Fang Zhengyi has never thought about it. Fried tea has only become popular in the county recently.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng said with a shy face.

"Ah, if this tea is taken for a long time, it can strengthen the kidneys, replenish qi and prolong life, so it is called... Dapin Tianxian Tea! Well, that's right!"

Are you making it up now? Guo Tianyang’s face turned red from holding back.

"To be honest, we don't have much money with us. If we want to have tea, we probably won't be able to get much."

"How many did you bring?"

"Two thousand taels."

As expected of a porcelain trader, he carries two thousand taels with him! That’s quite a lot!

Fang Zhengyi became slightly excited: "It doesn't matter! You can get as much as you want. The initial sales also need to open up the market. We don't have enough time to come to Taoyuan County to purchase goods!"

"Come and try some wine from our Taoyuan."

With that said, Fang Zhengyi poured another glass of wine for the two of them.

Emperor Jing naturally refused to accept anyone who came, but as soon as the drink was in his mouth, his expression suddenly changed: "Peach Blossom Fan?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "That's right! It's just Peach Blossom Fan Wine."

"This wine is the pillar industry of our Taoyuan County. The success of the county depends entirely on Peach Blossom Fan Wine."

"The next batch of wine hasn't been brewed yet. It must be hard to find a cup in the capital right now!"

Emperor Jing's expression suddenly became uncertain, and Guo Tianyang also looked over at him.

This Peach Blossom Fan wine is famous for its strong taste and has become very popular in the capital.

Jingdi Hao Liquor specially listed this wine as a tribute.

But the most important thing is not the wine!

Emperor Jing put down his wine glass with a calm expression: "I heard that this wine is the property of the King of Wu. Could it be that the King of Wu is behind Taoyuan County?"

"No, no! This peach blossom fan has always been an industry in Taoyuan County, but it does have some trade relations with King Wu."

"A few years ago, people from Prince Wu's Mansion accidentally came here and discovered this Peach Blossom Fan Wine, so we signed an exclusive sales contract."

"Haha, now King Wu can be said to be making a lot of money."

Fang Zhengyi was happy to pull the tiger's skin and pull the flag.

The tea that was originally planned to be exported also wanted to cooperate with people from Prince Wu's Mansion.

But after much thought, we gave up. Taoyuan County's products cannot be controlled by one company, and sales channels will be expanded in the future.

Isn't it just that someone grabbed my throat?

We must try our best to spread the dealer network as much as possible. The more people in Taoyuan County, the more secure his seat will be.

Most of the people in the porcelain business in Beijing had a background, so he didn't care which group Li Long was from.

As long as they are not on the same side as King Wu and the Emperor, there will be no problem!

Emperor Jing breathed a sigh of relief. King Wu was well-known as the idle king in the capital.

It turns out that I accidentally got involved with Taoyuan County. No wonder I spend money like water every day...

"I wonder if King Wu has ever been to Taoyuan County?"

Fang Zheng waved his hand with a look of disgust on his face: "I've never been here before. It's always the butler who comes to do business."

This is also the second reason why I don't want to cooperate with King Wu. He has no ambition and no enterprising spirit.

If Taoyuan County hadn't been short of money and people in the early days, it wouldn't have cooperated with such a master.

Later, Fang Zhengyi sent people to the capital to explore the market.

The sales of Peach Blossom Fan basically rely on natural traffic and reputation in the market, but King Wu has not made any efforts.

If the Peach Blossom Fan wasn't a monopoly product with excellent quality, I'm afraid it would have failed.

At first, I was confused and wanted to find someone to hug me, but I didn’t expect that I was a piece of trash!

He also signed an exclusive agreement, so his business is considered a loss.

But even so, the profit provided by the Peach Blossom Fan is still a full fifty thousand taels of silver every year, which is more than enough to keep the whole county happy.

But nowadays, life in Taoyuan County is getting better and better, and the people's growing material needs have forced Fang Zhengyi to continue to expand sales channels.

This tea! It is the second item to be sold, and it is definitely non-exclusive.

"So that's it. Taoyuan County is really powerful! It seems that I have to cooperate with County Magistrate Fang!" Emperor Jing laughed and said, "I wonder where the tea garden is. We can go and see it tomorrow before making a decision."

Fang Zheng smiled shyly: "Business secrets, no comment!"

Look? What a fart!

Where does this tea garden come from? It's all fresh tea imported from Hengjiang Prefecture. Broken tea leaves cost 4 pounds per coin, and are fried together with some cheap medicinal materials. Even outsiders can't drink it.

The freshness of drinking it is just that I am used to drinking the original tea soup with added ingredients, and this is the first time I drink this kind of fried tea!

Seeing Fang Zheng's firm attitude, Emperor Jing didn't bother much. He raised his glass and said, "That's fine. I'll take the first batch of these tea leaves to the capital for trial sale. From now on, I'll rely on Magistrate Fang to take care of them!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"
