The group of people left Yangzhou Restaurant with different expressions!
After all, Manager Wang is a veteran manager with many years of experience, and has a well-informed look, but his expression is calm and peaceful. Ji Qin is young and energetic. Thinking of Zhu Yuandao's smug face, he can't swallow his breath.
He also knew that things would not go too smoothly this time. On the surface, it was Shopkeeper Zhu, but behind the scenes was the powerful Mu family. It was completely different from the last time the eldest lady dealt with Manager Li. Manager Li
There is not much background behind it, but Qingfeng Tea House is different. It has greater financial resources than Jinxiu Villa. This time it is really tricky. The opponent's purpose is obvious, which is to drive Tianya Tea House out of the Yangzhou tea industry.
!
Ning Jingwan looked at Ji Qin's worried face and smiled slightly, "Ji Qin, grandpa said that even if you lose in business, you can't lose in terms of temperament. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers, so don't worry too much!"
When Ji Qin heard the eldest lady say this, he knew that the eldest lady most likely had a corresponding countermeasure. His brows suddenly opened and he clasped his fists: "Please tell me, eldest lady!"
Jing Jingwan smiled and turned to Manager Wang, "Uncle Wang, you said there are eight processes from new tea to finished product, right?"
Manager Wang nodded, "What the eldest lady is saying is that the tea we drink seems simple, but the process is very complicated. It must go through eight steps: picking, drying, resting, shaking, frying, wrapping, rolling, and roasting.
The process can finally become the tea we can drink."
"Each of these processes is particular about heat, timing, and handwork. If you are not careful, it will affect the quality of the tea. Every year, the tea house will hand over the purchased new tea to a large local workshop for processing, and then it will be processed again.
The processed finished products are shipped out from the workshops. Like our Tianya Tea House, we are also very careful in the selection of workshops. We must ensure that every process is just right, so that we can ensure that the products produced by Tianya Tea House are all high-quality products!"
Jing Jing Wan smiled and said: "Tianya Tea House has its current position. Uncle Wang has worked hard and made great achievements. Jing Wan would like to thank you here!"
Mr. Wang said: "Miss, you are serious. Something like this happened this year. I have been involved here for many years, but I was helpless. In the end, I had to ask Miss to take action personally. I feel really guilty!"
Jingjing Wan shook her head, "Uncle Wang, don't worry too much. The stronger the opponent, the more interesting it is. It's not yet known who will win. What's more, we haven't been defeated yet!"
Ji Qin smiled and said: "What the eldest lady said is that it has to go through so many processes before it is finally completed. I think Zhu Yuandao's thinking is a bit simple!"
★★★
Beijing, Jingwangfu study room.
After hearing the news from Yangzhou, Feng Junhan just smiled gracefully and continued to sip tea.
The Mu family sees Jinxiu Villa making money, and they have unique conditions. They not only occupy the official connections, but also almost control the treasury. They are much stronger than Jinxiu Villa. They have competed with Jinxiu Villa several times. If the opponent had been someone else,
, had been completely defeated a long time ago, but unfortunately the opponent was Jing Wan. Jing Wan, a rare business genius, would not let the Mu family occupy the position of her Jinxiu Villa in the business world like this!
Of course, Jinxiu Villa also has the strength to compete with the Mu family. It has been in the business world for many years and is familiar with the industry. Although the Mu family has all the power, it is still a novice in the business world. In addition, the Mu family has no management talents, so it can only
Asking outsiders to get involved in the business, Feng Junhan believes that there are not many people who can rival Jingwan when it comes to business skills!
In business, it is true that the right time and place are important, but also people and people. Jingwan is good at weighing the pros and cons, avoiding the sharp edges, and taking the wrong approach. I don’t know how she plans to deal with it this time!
Feng Qingcheng looked at the calm and elegant face of the second emperor brother and smiled elegantly. He could guess what the second emperor brother was thinking about now. The Mu family was at odds with Jingwan again this time. The biggest shortcoming of the Mu family was that they were not outstanding.
Among the business talents, Mu Lanqing is also a smart person, proficient in tactics, but he is really a layman when it comes to business. Although you can hire people, excellent management talents are not something you can find just by looking for them!
So last time Jingwan gave away half of Jinxiu Villa unconditionally, the Second Emperor Brother did not accept it. The Second Emperor Brother knew that Jinxiu Villa could not leave Jingwan, and these properties had to be left to Jingwan to manage so that he could rest assured!
Feng Qingcheng said: "It seems that the Mu family wants to occupy Jinxiu Villa's position in Shanghai. Jingwan's Tianya Tea House is now under threat!"
Feng Junhan didn't take it seriously and said with a careless smile: "Do you think Wan'er will just sit back and wait for death?"
Feng Qingcheng smiled and said: "Of course not, I'm just curious about what Jingwan will do. I don't know how wonderful this time will be!"
Feng Junhan's elegant and perfect fingers caressed the porcelain white tea cup. Wan'er once again competed with the Mu family. He was also looking forward to this business battle!
Tianya Tea House in Jinxiu Villa covers almost all the first-class tea industries in Yangzhou, with an annual profit of hundreds of thousands of taels. Such a large amount of income certainly attracted the attention of the Mu family!
The Mu family took a fancy to these industries within the territory. They imitated Jinxiu Villa and relied on their huge financial and material resources to enter the Yangzhou tea industry. They wanted to add glory to the Mu family. However, their opponent was Jingwan. The Mu family's path to pioneering in the business world must not be easy.
It will go well!
Looking at the calm smile on the face of the second emperor brother, Feng Qingcheng suddenly thought of something, "Second brother, did you say that Jingwan was already aware of what happened at Jingwan's birthday party last time?"
Feng Junhan nodded gently, but Wan'er's seemingly drunken eyes could not hide the clues.
Feng Qingcheng smiled and said: "That's nothing. We didn't do anything. We just asked these border guards to come to Beijing to celebrate Princess Jing's birthday. It's only natural!"
On the Fenglin border that borders Xianbei, Prince Jing has received reports from the border defenders one after another in recent years. The combat effectiveness of Xianbei soldiers has greatly increased, and it is no longer the same as in previous years!
Xianbei is located outside the customs. The people are tough, rough and brave, and almost all the people are soldiers. However, the combat effectiveness of the army is not strong. The most important reason is that their weapons are vulnerable!
Xianbei's method of smelting weapons is very backward. Most of their bows and arrows are made of large fish bones or oracle bones. The penetrating power can be imagined. The weapons are not as good as human beings, and their combat capabilities are naturally not as good as human beings. Naturally, their national defense capabilities are also inferior to human beings.
!
The Fenglin Kingdom has a strong national power, strong soldiers and horses, and is famous for its weapon smelting technology. Therefore, people from other lands, including Xianbei, send envoys to Fenglin every year to pay homage and send large amounts of tribute gifts. Although they have not become vassals, they have maintained a good reputation.
The diplomatic relations are already somewhat similar to the relationship between the suzerain country and the subordinate country!
Of course, Fenglin's weapon smelting technology is also top secret, because it is related to whether the army's combat effectiveness is strong. These aliens buy weapons from Fenglin's court every year, but Fenglin strictly controls the number of purchases, because no one will watch helplessly.
The subject country is powerful!
However, in recent years, the combat effectiveness of the Xianbei army has increased significantly. It is far ahead in the battles of the Xianbei tribes and its combat effectiveness is astonishing. Of course, Feng Junhan and the others are keenly aware that something is wrong. The power of these neighboring countries is by no means a problem for them. Good thing!
So Prince Jing sent someone to secretly investigate and found that the weapons used by most of the Xianbei soldiers were already iron weapons, and the number far exceeded the weapons they sold to the Xianbei people every year. They were all extremely smart people, and they immediately realized that someone was secretly selling them to the Xianbei people. Fenglin's weapons were sold to the Xianbei people for huge profits!
The people who have the ability to do this are by no means ordinary people, but before they could find out who was behind the scenes, their opponents heard the rumor and destroyed everything that should be destroyed, and the secret reselling of weapons disappeared instantly!
Feng Junhan was furious and ordered the border garrison general to investigate the matter. Who dared to do such an act of collaborating with the enemy for profit, he would definitely punish him severely!
But after half a year of secret investigation, there was no trace, as if this incident had never happened!
The second emperor brother thought deeply and finally came up with a clever plan to paralyze the enemy!
This time, on the occasion of Jingwan’s birthday party, the Second Emperor Brother sent someone to notify the border garrison general to come to Beijing to congratulate Royal Princess Jing on her birthday. This reason was justifiable and impeccable, and it would not arouse anyone’s alertness!
However, the two emperor brothers were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Everyone thought that the border garrison generals came to Beijing to pay their respects and almost took away most of the generals. The border security must be relaxed. How could those who had been dormant for half a year restrain themselves at this time? Don't you miss this God-given opportunity?
Unexpectedly, those border garrison generals just showed up at Jing Wan’s birthday party, then rode fast horses, traveled thousands of miles a day, and traveled at night and starry to secretly rush back to the border. The border had already prepared a trap for them. Everyone who came to the transaction site got all the stolen goods and killed all the thieves who were reselling weapons.
When the news came, the second emperor just smiled enigmatically, not surprised, but there was a little apology in his eyes!
Although the matter was settled, Feng Qingcheng could not keep her heart open and honest. What they did could be hidden from others, but not from Jingwan. She had expected that the second emperor brother would not just have a birthday party for her. , there must be other purposes behind it.
On the day of her birthday banquet, these border generals came forward to congratulate her, and she would definitely be wary. Although it was not unreasonable for the border generals to come to congratulate her on her birthday banquet, Jingwan understood that for the second emperor brother, No matter how important a woman's birthday party is, how can it be as important as the stability of the border? How can she be so important that these border generals come all the way to celebrate her birthday?
Feng Qingcheng was surprised, "Is Jingwan blaming the second emperor brother for using her birthday party to make a fuss?"
Feng Junhan smiled and said nothing.
Feng Qingcheng said: "Jingwan is so smart that she can naturally understand the second emperor brother. What's more, she has nothing to lose. Since she has cooperated with us now, she should know that things that are good for us are also good for her. Disadvantage!"
Feng Junhan said: "It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to accept it emotionally!" Of course he knew that Wan'er wanted him to give her a birthday party that was pure and uninvolved with any calculations. Wan'er didn't suffer any loss, but he still saw loss in Wan'er's eyes that night!
Although Wan'er didn't know what he was planning specifically, she could guess the general idea. She had already seen that the birthday party was fake, and it was true that he wanted to use Wan'er's birthday party to paralyze his opponent!
Feng Qingcheng said: "Second brother does not need to feel guilty. Anyway, it is the first time for second brother to hold such a grand birthday party for a woman. What's more, it is Jingwan's honor that Jingwan can provide such help to second brother!"
At this point, he could only say some words that he didn't mean. How could a woman like Jingwan care about the honor?
Feng Junhan heard this and smiled lightly, "I hope so!"
Feng Qingcheng changed the subject and said: "Second brother, all those thieves who secretly sold imperial weapons to the Xianbei people have been arrested and are now being escorted to Beijing. Who do you think is so bold?"
Feng Jun didn't answer. He stood up gracefully and looked at the huge picture of Fenglin Mountains and Rivers on the wall without saying a word.
Feng Qingcheng pondered: "Could he be from the Mu family?"
Feng Junhan said calmly: "So what?"
Feng Qingcheng was startled, "This is a crime of treason that implicates the nine clans. Can we take this opportunity to trip up the Mu family?"
Feng Junhan shook his head, "The Mu family is so deeply entrenched and intertwined that a centipede will never die. If you want to use this incident to trip up the Mu family, you are too naive. Mu Fang, an old fox, will prepare an escape route in advance for anything.
If we want to trace it, we can only trace it to the Ministry of War, and it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs!" The little fox Wan'er is cute, but the old fox Mu Fang is annoying!
Feng Qingcheng's handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, "What does second brother mean?"
Feng Junhan said calmly: "Take a multi-pronged approach and wait and see what happens!"
Hearing this, Feng Qingcheng vaguely understood!
Feng Qingcheng suddenly said casually: "By the way, second brother, I met Chang Huan yesterday. Chang Huan heard that Jing Wan went to Yangzhou, and he said that he happened to be going to Yangzhou for business recently!"
As Feng Qingcheng spoke, she secretly observed the expression of the second emperor brother. I wonder if the second emperor brother was aware of Chang Huan's special feelings for Jingwan. Has this deep undercurrent entered the second emperor brother's eyes?
Feng Junhan had a deep smile on his face, "Chang Huan is busy with military affairs, and he also thinks about traveling around all day long. Ask him to come to my house tomorrow, and I will reprimand him!"
Feng Qingcheng felt relieved slightly. If the second emperor brother noticed this, he would definitely find a way to separate Chang Huan and Jing Wan from getting along!
Feng Qingcheng nodded and asked: "Second brother, do you plan to go to Yangzhou in person?"
Feng Junhan nodded lightly, "Now is not the time!"
★★★
Yangzhou, Qingfeng Tea House.
Zhu Yuandao was enjoying tea leisurely, in a happy mood, and Ming Yan was waiting on him diligently.
The waiter hurried in and said, "Shopkeeper, it's not good!"
Zhu Yuandao looked at the hurried waiter coldly, "What's all the fuss about?"
The clerk wiped his sweat and said, "Shopkeeper, according to your instructions, we went to negotiate with the tea workshops in Yangzhou to send the new tea we purchased for processing, but they said that this year's orders are all full and they will no longer accept orders.
Got it!"
Zhu Yuandao said calmly: "There are so many tea workshops in Yangzhou, why don't you just visit a few more?"
The clerk hurriedly said: "Shopkeepers, of course we all go, but all the workshops that can take our orders all say that they are full this year!"
Zhu Yuandao is also a figure who has been involved in the business world for many years, so he naturally knows that there is someone behind the scenes. Needless to say, it must be Tianya Tea House!
Mingyan saw Zhu Yuandao's unkind expression and asked with concern: "Sir, is everything okay?"
Zhu Yuandao shook his head, pondered for a moment, and smiled coldly. You think you can control me in this way? It's too simple!
