Chapter 71 If Qin Yu is not an official, it will not benefit the country at all
Listen to Fan Chong's words.
Fan Junliang nodded and said thoughtfully: "Since Qin Yu has shown his edge, let's avoid it for now and wait for the opportunity. It would be very irrational to start a tea dispute with Zhang's Trading Company at this time."
Hear this.
Veins popped up on Fan Jian's forehead, and his eyes were full of reluctance, "Dad, are we just going to give in! I'm not willing to give in! A total of 170,000 taels! Our property in Jinling City will suffer heavy losses!"
Because of Fu'an's tongue-tied issue.
The blow suffered by Fan's Trading Company was unprecedented.
The imperial merchant qualification they just obtained is definitely gone, and even if they had it, they would not dare to ask for it.
His status in the business world has plummeted, and the few imperial merchants he has won over have also fallen apart.
With the support of Emperor Wei, Zhang's Trading Company will definitely unite with other merchants to suppress other industries of Fan's Trading Company.
.......
When Fan Jian thought about it, everything was a problem.
Fan Cang also felt very uncomfortable. If he did this, his entry into the Household Department would probably be over.
Fan Junliang lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Humph! You want me to admit defeat just like that? There is no way! They think that without Fan's Trading Company, our Fan family will collapse! Besides, we still have other people in Hebei.
A lot of industry!”
As he spoke, there was a chill in his eyes, "I have a plan now!"
See Fan Junliang has a solution.
Fan Jian, Fan Chong and Fan Cang hurriedly gathered around.
They also couldn't swallow this breath.
Not only did Qin Yu make a lot of money from tea, but he also wanted to marry the eldest princess and become the prince-consort of the Wei Dynasty. They were absolutely unwilling to do so.
Fan Junliang lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, "Since His Majesty is unkind, we cannot blame us for being unjust. In fact, King Qi had sexual contact with this servant in private."
"Although I have not agreed to cooperate with him, it is still okay to give him some information. Isn't Qin Yu going to marry the eldest princess? Then let's start with this matter."
"The situation in Eastern Xinjiang is very tense now. Pingzhou, Qingzhou and Dongzhou are your majesty's biggest concerns now. In fact, not only these three states, but also the northeastern vassal state that became independent during the civil strife of the previous dynasty, the Liba Kingdom."
"Liba Kingdom, Pingzhou, Dongzhou and Qingzhou are connected as a whole. In the past two years, His Majesty has been trying his best to win over Liba Kingdom, and the King of Qi has also had frequent contacts with Liba Kingdom."
"I can use this to discuss cooperation with the King of Qi, and ask the King of Qi to persuade the Liba Kingdom to propose marriage to Your Majesty and marry the eldest princess."
"If Liba proposes a marriage proposal to the eldest princess, Qin Yu will definitely not give up due to his wolfish character. We will design a conflict between Qin Yu and the envoy, and Liba will definitely turn to King Qi by then."
"I think King Qi will be very interested in this matter, and we can also take this opportunity to retaliate against His Majesty and Qin Yu."
Listen to Fan Junliang's plan.
Fan Jian, Fan Chong and Fan Cang all had bright eyes.
This trick is indeed quite poisonous.
If done properly, Qin Yu could not only offend Li Ba and become the prince's consort of the Wei Dynasty, but also make Li Ba fall to King Qi. This would kill two birds with one stone.
Fan Cang hurriedly raised his thumb and said, "Uncle, your plan is absolutely perfect. How can a person as headstrong as Qin Yu endure the eldest princess being married off by Li Ba?"
Fan Junliang also became energetic because of his own strategy.
He must take revenge with his own hands and trample the Qin Palace under his feet.
...
Three days later.
Jinling City.
Dongshi, third floor of Zhang's Tea Shop.
Qin Yu, Xiao Nan, Xiao Rou, Su Fu and Chu Weiwei were sitting in the room without anyone.
"Little friend Qin, you are so scheming. You didn't even give me the tea, so you did business in my name. You~"
Su Fu shook his head helplessly and took a sip of the newly brewed Longjing tea, enjoying it very much.
Qin Yu smiled awkwardly, "Su Laomo is angry. I can't help it. Who made you famous? But don't worry, I will never let you suffer. From now on, I will cover all your tea leaves.
"
Su Fu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "This is what you said, I didn't mean to take advantage of you intentionally."
As he said that, he took another sip and praised: "But having said that, your tea is really good. It has a pleasant fragrance and a sweet aftertaste. It is refreshing to drink it. This is the first time for me to drink such good tea."
Chu Weiwei curled her lips, "Is it as good as you said? I don't think it tastes good."
"Tsk..."
Su Fu glanced at her and said, "You don't understand."
Xiao Nan and Xiao Rou stood in front of the window lattice and looked towards the street. People queuing up to buy tea could not be seen to the end.
It is really an exaggeration and cannot be exaggerated any more.
Xiao Rou turned to look at Qin Yu and asked: "Longjing, Jin Junmei and Silver Needle Pekoe sell for ten taels of silver per catty, will anyone really buy them?"
Xiao Rou had to admit that Qin Yu was a big profiteer through and through, selling tea for less than one tael for ten taels.
Qin Yu raised his lips slightly, "Don't you understand this? This is called a marketing method, what kind of tea is that? That is tea that your majesty, only great people like Zhang Zian, Great Confucian scholar and Su Lao are worthy of drinking. Is it tea that you are drinking?
What you drink is dignity, what you drink is a state of mind."
Xiao Nan frowned and said slowly: "Brother-in-law, even if this is the case, why don't you take out all the tea leaves and impose purchase restrictions?"
Hear this.
Xiao Rou, Su Fu and Chu Weiwei also looked at Qin Yu in confusion.
Selling ten taels for the cost of one tael, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to sell quickly, why are you imposing purchase restrictions?
They really couldn't understand Qin Yu.
Qin Yu held the cup and muttered: "This is called hunger marketing."
Xiao Nan frowned even more tightly, "What is that?"
Qin Yu smiled calmly and explained: "It is to deliberately control the sales volume, artificially regulate the supply and demand relationship, create an atmosphere in which supply exceeds demand, stabilize the price of tea, and establish the brand image of these three types of tea."
"In short, things are expensive. Let them know that this kind of good tea is not something you can buy with money. What you sell is quality, and what you sell is expensive!"
Listen to Qin Yu's explanation.
Xiao Rou, Xiao Nan, Su Fu and Chu Weiwei all looked amazed.
They really couldn't understand how one person could be so smart.
Faced with the temptation of high profits, they chose to limit purchases and deliberately increase the value of tea.
He is truly the greatest profiteer of all time.
"Brother-in-law, you are really awesome. If you don't do business, your head will be in vain."
Xiao Nan couldn't help but marvel at Qin Yu's ability.
Xiao Rou nodded in agreement. She was glad that Qin Yu chose to be an official and cooperate with their royal family.
Otherwise, letting him go to the top of the world will be of no benefit to the country at all, and it will be calculated to the core.
