"Long Shangshu is indeed charming and charming. The rumors are true."
Shi Jian has a smiling face, and he looks like he is in business.
"Master Shi is also a good person among people, and he is even more famous when we meet him."
Long Chen boasted as usual.
Shi Jian laughed and said: "I don't dare to take it. I am just a businessman. In one year, Long Shangshu became the minister of two departments. Looking at the world, only Long Shangshu can do it."
Long Chen smiled and said: "In business, there is no need to be polite. Today, Hall Master Shi can come to my Qiuxing Hall. Long is very happy."
"To make a long story short, I want to cooperate with your Dragon Gang."
Long Chen got straight to the point and told his plan.
Shi Jian was stunned when he heard this, and said: "This... I'm grateful to the Lord, but our chamber of commerce never does business with the imperial court."
Long Chen smiled and said: "If you didn't do it before, it doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. If others don't do it, it doesn't mean you can't do it."
Shi Jian smiled and did not answer.
Xiang Ning poured the tea and Shi Jian thanked her with a smile.
After taking a sip of tea, Shi Jian said awkwardly: "I, Mr. Shi, can't decide on this matter."
Long Chen smiled, and Xiang Ning immediately brought in a wine bottle and two celadon cups.
The jug was tilted slightly, and a stream of wine as clear as water was poured out and fell into the cup, and the strong aroma of the wine spread out.
Shi Jian is a good drinker. The aroma of the wine hit his nose and his mouth watered immediately.
“Good wine!”
Shi Jian looked straight at the wine in the glass.
"please!"
Long Chen picked up a cup and took a sip.
Shi Jian held the cup with both hands, smelled it carefully, then closed his eyes and praised with enjoyment: "Good wine, good wine!"
Carefully hold the cup, put it to your mouth, suck the wine into your mouth, and taste it carefully for a while.
The wine went into his throat and then into his abdomen. Shi Jian clicked his tongue and praised: "This is the best wine I have ever tasted! I dare you to ask Master Shangshu..."
Shi Jian wanted to ask where this wine came from, but he immediately understood and asked in surprise: "Is this wine brewed by Long Shangshu?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Yes, it's the wine I brewed. I named it Beauty Zui."
Shi Jian drank a glass and wanted to drink another glass.
Xiang Ning poured a few more glasses for Shi Jian, who was as drunk as drinking from a sweet spring.
"Although strong wine is good, don't be greedy."
Long Chen reminded with a smile.
Shi Jian chuckled and said, "I'm so embarrassed. I've always been a drinker, and I can't help myself when I see good wine."
Long Chen smiled and said: "You can't drink any more, you will get drunk."
Shi Jian laughed and said: "To be honest, Lord Shangshu, I don't have any other abilities except that I drink a lot and I have never been drunk."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Xiang Ning, cut a plate of mutton and bring a pot of wine."
Xiang Ning immediately took another pot of wine, cut a plate of cooked mutton and added salt.
Seeing the wine, Shi Jian let go and apologized: "My Lord, I forgive you."
After speaking, Shi Jian picked up the jug, ate a few pieces of mutton, and drank the entire jug of wine.
“Good wine, good wine...”
Shi Jian admired it while drinking, feeling as if he were falling into the clouds and floating in the air.
"I am drunk?"
Shi Jian suddenly woke up. He had never felt like this before.
"My jug of wine can hold up to a jar of wine. Hall Master Shi drank it very quickly, so he got drunk."
"Let's go outside and sober up."
A eunuch came in and helped Shi Jian to sit down in the courtyard, while Xiang Ning made tea.
Shi Jian blew the breeze and sobered up a little.
"I understand, Master Shangshu wants to sell wine to us."
"Yes, I have two things here now, honeycomb briquettes and beauty drunkenness. We supply them and you ship them."
Shi Jian thought that Long Chen wanted to directly invest in the Dragon Gang, and they would definitely not accept such a cooperation method.
But if Long Chen supplies the goods and provides peerless wine like Meiren Zui, the Long Gang will definitely agree.
When it comes to doing business, what matters most is the product.
"No problem, I, Shi, can make the decision on this matter."
Shi Jian agreed immediately.
He is an old drunkard, and he knows very well that this beauty will sell well after being drunk and enter the market, which will definitely make money.
All along, Tianxiahui's products have always outperformed Longbang, and this time he is sure to be able to turn around.
"Just, I want to ask, how much can Sir Shangshu give us?"
Long Chen said: "There is no limit to the briquettes. I will give you as much as you want."
"But Beauty Zui, I need you to provide the best white rice from Nanliang. I won't hide it from you, my wine is also made from rice."
Shi Jian immediately said: "No problem, there are enough white rice tubes."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Then I have enough wine management, it depends on how much Hall Master Shi can sell."
Shi Jian was overjoyed and said, "Where's the price?"
Long Chen said: "300 yuan for a drinking contest!"
hiss...
Shi Jian wondered: "Although it is good for beauties to get drunk, the rejuvenation wine from Tianxiahui only costs 100 yuan..."
What he meant was that the price was too high.
300 yuan per dou is Long Chen's shipping price, and Long Gang sells it at least double that. When the time comes, the price will be 600 yuan for a doujiu, which is outrageous.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Master Shi, the Dragon Gang has always been forced to be in the low-end market, so this time we will sell it at a high price."
"Besides, this beautiful beauty like me only has one branch, so the pricing power is in your hands."
As the leader of the hall, Shi Jian certainly understood what Long Chen said.
"I want to try."
Shi Jian said cautiously.
"No problem, test marketing is necessary."
"I have a suggestion for Hall Master Shi. Nanliang has a prosperous literary style and literati are good at wine. Nanliang is a market and there are barbarians. It's bitterly cold there. Drinking to warm up will definitely sell well in these two places."
"I suggest selling briquettes to the barbarians and Xixia. The barbarians are still burning cow dung. There are not many trees in Xixia, so they also need briquettes."
Long Chen has already thought about where to sell the things.
Shi Jian was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that Master Shangshu is also proficient in the ways of merchants."
The target markets Long Chen mentioned were very accurate. Shi Jian felt that Long Chen was less like an official and more like a businessman.
"I understand a little bit. I have prepared 100 jars of Beauty Drunk, totaling 5,000 buckets. You can take it back immediately."
Long Chen signaled Xiang Ning to send Beauty Zui to Qianlong Hall, a branch of the Dragon Gang.
Shi Jian sobered up a little, staggered to his feet and bowed: "Your Excellency, I am pleased to say goodbye. Shi will take his leave first."
Long Chen arranged for a eunuch to help Shi Jian back.
After Shi Jian returned to Qianlongtang, he immediately tried selling Beauty Drunk in Daughter City.
At first, no one was familiar with it, and no one cared about Beauty Drunk. After a few days, some old drunkards tasted it, and the reputation of Beauty Drunk spread immediately.
The 100 bottles of Meirenzui were quickly sold out, and the price reached 800 yuan for a doujiu.
Shi Jian was overjoyed and immediately wrote a letter to the main hall, telling him about his cooperation with Long Chen.
The main hall quickly responded and let Shi Jian take full responsibility.
Fengming Palace.
The empress held a blue and white porcelain cup in her hand, with a cup of beauty in it, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
"Is this the beauty drunk brewed by Long Chen?"
The empress took a sip. The aroma of the wine was mellow and strong. It was indeed the best wine she had ever tasted.
"That's right, the Dragon Gang sold Beauty Zui for 800 yuan in Doujiu in Daughter City, and 1,000 yuan in Doujiu in Nanliang."
"At this rate, it won't be a problem to fill the deficit in the household department within two years."
Yingfeng said very surprised, she didn't expect Long Chen to do this.
Everyone thought that Long Chen would increase taxes, but they didn't expect that he actually created Beauty Zui and cooperated with the Long Gang.
"This Long Chen is really clever and always comes up with strange plans."
The empress took a sip of Beauty Drunk, her eyes were deep and she didn't know what she was thinking.
