Chapter 182 How about getting drunk? (For the Sword Master 3/3)
Under Wu Haiming's introduction, Lu Yu and Bian Liangji finally got some understanding of the current market.
All over the world, Chinese tea, especially black tea, has not had a very high status.
Moreover, most of the black tea produced in China is made according to the flavors of European and American drinks.
It tastes strong and red, and is suitable for mixing drinks.
The black tea that is drunk is mainly circulated among people with unique tastes.
Originally, tea shoppers in Eastern countries such as China and Japan prefer to drink clean drinks.
However, under the guidance of the "popular trend" led by Europe and the United States, most people also gave up on this way of drinking.
Although there are many cases of Qingyin black tea that Lu Yu saw in Maoxiang Teahouse, Qingyin tea is no longer the mainstream of this world market.
In the eyes of most people in this world, drinking black tea is like drinking coffee without sugar or milk.
It sounds tall, but not many people will try it.
This situation is completely different from Lu Yu's original world.
As for Chinese black tea, it is usually called cheap goods in the international market because it has a low status and tends to be mass-produced.
Even if it is exported to European and American countries, it is not accepted by high-end people.
It can only be sold in supermarkets and other hypermarkets, or simply made into large-scale bottled beverages.
And there is no tea brand that can be truly established in the international market!
This situation is similar to Kenya, where Lu Yu originally lived.
Kenya is a major exporter of black tea in the world, and even the original Chinese market in the world has a place for Kenya’s black tea.
However, Chinese people rarely know Kenya’s black tea, let alone Kenya’s black tea brands.
In such a general environment, even the tea produced by Wu Haiming is of good quality.
But it cannot be sold at a real high price.
Black tea of the same quality will be different if it is produced in Assam or Darjeeling, India.
The purchase price can definitely reach more than ten times that of Wu Haiming!
According to Wu Haiming's words.
What he signed these two foreign orders was entirely for future mass production.
Once there is a export order for fine tea, the domestic market will rise.
When mass production is achieved, you can use this to hype your popularity, sell it at a better price, and even further develop your own brand.
After all, tea people also need to survive.
The main sources of economic resources for tea people in this world are just a few.
Relying on your own professional knowledge to grow and produce tea and sell tea.
Attend various events or endorsements with popularity and identity, and even earn fees as a consultant to a large business.
And like other tea people like Chen Juncheng, they open real industries such as teahouses, etc.
As for the so-called guidance, we talked about it with senior figures.
That is just a way for tea people to increase their popularity and to make friends with or be arty with senior figures.
This world respects tea people because this world has a unique tradition.
Just like the general teaman Liu Zhibing can make Maeda Ichiro and Frank get out with just one word, the real core of power is still in the military and political circles.
What is competing among countries is still national strength, not the number of tea people.
After Wu Haiming finished speaking, he suddenly laughed and said, "But since I talked with Lu Yu, I feel that my somewhat utilitarian idea seems to be a little problem."
Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Oh?"
Wu Haiming said: "Lu Yu is right. Including me, the tea we make is for foreigners."
"Westerns lead the taste of our orientals with their wealth and development, but the orientals, especially our Chinese, cannot continue to go with the flow!"
"I want to develop a tea that is truly suitable for us Chinese!"
Bian Liangji said in confusion: "Wu Haiming, do you mean to give up your black tea?"
Wu Haiming shook his head: "Of course not! I made this black tea, but it is just used as a means to make money, or to make money from foreigners! It is not my real dream!"
Lu Yushen agreed with Wu Haiming's words.
Wu Haiming's decision was very rational, and he could see the benefits of the overall rise of China Tea very thoroughly.
Once Chinese black tea can really rise, then the price of this foreign black tea similar to the "smoke-small" in his hands will inevitably increase.
At that time, those foreigners will never be able to buy the tea he made by himself at the "bad price"!
Bian Liangji also nodded: "Your idea is right, and this is also the responsibility of our generation of tea people... Lu Yu, your tea is so good, do you have a psychological price?"
Psychological price?
Lu Yu smiled slightly: "I don't sell my tea, what I want to sell is Xinyang Maojian Spring Tea next spring."
"Spring tea?" Bian Liangji looked at Lu Yu in surprise.
Lu Yu nodded: "Yes! We have started preparing for mass production. We are now doing transplanting and cultivation. The output will not be too much next spring. If you are interested, I will leave some for you."
"So you guys have already thought about it!" Bian Liangji raised his thumb.
Wu Haiming also smiled and said, "No wonder you are determined to win the first place. It turns out that you have started planning a long time ago."
In fact, it is not surprising that they are surprised by this.
After all, before you get a ranking through the assessment and get an order, no one wants to invest more risk in a new tea product.
This is all due to the recession of Huaxia Tea in the market.
But Lu Yu is different. He has the experience of the original world and firmly believes that Xinyang Maojian will definitely take the lead and successfully occupy the market and cause a sensation!
Similarly, he also believed that the simple tea farmers at Zhenlei Mountain would not disappoint him!
...
Because the promotion competition was not held immediately, the three of them are in a relaxed state now.
After they talked about the celebration tea party or the sales party tomorrow night.
The tea person qualification assessment has also entered the final stage.
The last twenty new tea people quotas were also revealed, and new tea people came to the lounge one after another.
"Lu Yu! I am a real tea man now!"
As soon as Zhang Yuan entered the door, he ran to Lu Yu screamed and said the excitement on his face was beyond words!
Years of hard work and expectations have finally come true. Although he was just a dangerous move, he was still so excited that he couldn't do anything to himself!
After a bear hug.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations to Zhang Yuan!"
Zhang Yuan nodded heavily: "Although I am only a Level 5 tea player now and I am not qualified to participate in the promotion competition, I will continue to work hard to catch up with you!"
Lu Yu, Bian Liangji and others laughed.
Although they didn’t know how hard Zhang Yuan worked, he was definitely respected by those who could become tea people with ordinary talents and ordinary backgrounds!
At this time, new tea people familiar with Zheng Keke, Yi Lan and Shaoyang also came over.
After everyone congratulated each other.
Chapter completed!
