Ancient family.
The place where the Teng people live is on the right side of a rocky place, surrounded by many ancient trees.
The air here is fresh and there are many trees. It is the favorite environment of the Vine people.
Teng Tiancai was sitting on a wicker chair.
He took the time to make this wicker chair in the past few days, and he is personally very satisfied with it.
Because, in terms of compilation techniques, he has made certain breakthroughs and made some innovations.
But even so, he is still not in a good mood now.
The reason is very simple, because the rattan furniture of the rattan tribe is no longer easy to sell. In his opinion, this is not only a matter related to the future development of the rattan tribe, but also the beginning of the decline of rattan weaving art.
"Old Vine."
The shouts coming from outside were getting closer.
Tengcai cheered up, he had already heard the source of the sound.
That was the voice of Tao Gaochang, the leader of the Tao tribe.
Tao Gaochang was his old friend. He came here so late, but he didn't know what his purpose was.
When he stood up, he heard more than one footsteps.
Sure enough, he asked the guard to open the door, and what came into view was not only Tao Gaochang, but also the ancient style of the Gu family and a tall woman.
"Old Tao, the ancient patriarch...this is what you are doing?"
Teng Tiancai greeted him, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This is Lord Zi Yan, the commander of the hidden guards of the imperial court."
Tao Gaochang first introduced Ziyan.
Afterwards, Teng Tiancai welcomed everyone into the house.
Tao Gaochang briefly explained his purpose.
Teng Tiancai couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Team of Thousands?"
Teng Tiancai's mind suddenly went blank. This old friend was so deceitful.
The Vine clan could barely gather a team of one thousand people, but this team of one thousand people were all young men. They were not only guards, but also laborers for the family, and they were the main force of the cane weaving.
If it were taken away, what would happen to the rattan weavings of the rattan tribe?
"No, no, we, the Vine Clan, still need to weave vines. If the young men leave, the women in the family will be too busy."
Teng Tiancai shook his head.
"Is there still a market for your rattan weavings? I heard that wood products and porcelain are now popular in Banshu."
Zi Yan asked.
Teng Tiancai clenched his fists and said, "The sales of rattan weaving have dropped, but they are still sold."
No matter how stubborn he was, he had to admit that the sales of rattan weaving were getting worse day by day.
"Rattan weaving is out of fashion."
"The mass production of porcelain by Yang's firm, coupled with the price reduction brought about by the improvement of wood products technology, makes rattan weaving not very competitive from both practical and price points of view, but from the artistic point of view, Rich nobles don’t like rattan weaving anymore.”

Purple smoke.
The rattan weavings of the rattan tribe include high-end products and low-end products, but both aspects have been severely suppressed.
The reason is that the birth of various new tools in the Daqi Capital Science and Technology Park has led to the emergence of large-scale factories in the capital.
As a result, the cost and price of woodware and porcelain dropped sharply. In addition, Yang's Trading Company spared no effort to transport goods to Bozhou, Yizhou and other southwest directions.
Under the fierce competition, the rattan weaving of the rattan tribe was almost completely defeated. ….
"Rattan weaving is very artistic, but they don't have the taste to appreciate it."
Teng Tiancai's thin face and sunken cheeks bulged with anger.
Although what Zi Yan said was true, Teng Tiancai just couldn't accept this tone.
"I admit that rattan weaving has its artistry, but you don't need many people to make rattan weaving now. This is also a fact."
"Your boys have been idle for a long time. Even the women at home have too much rattan braiding."
Ziyan said calmly.
"So what?"
Teng Tiancai raised his eyebrows.
"I'll give you a cooperation plan."
"If you come up with someone, I can ask Yang's Trading Company to come forward and help you sell rattan fabrics. I can help you deal with the unsalable rattan fabrics."
Purple smoke.
Teng Tiancai did not refuse immediately.
Because Zi Yan gave him an offer that he could hardly refuse.
If the Vine Clan's biggest crisis could be solved, would he still be stubborn and not cooperate with the court?
He is the leader of the Vine Clan and cannot act on impulse.
"Can it really be sold?"
Teng Tiancai doubted.
Yang's Trading Company is indeed famous and its management skills are very good, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. With the prospect of the decline of rattan weaving, how to deal with the unsalable rattan weaving?
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you agree, you can hand over all the rattan weaving to Yang's Trading Company. No matter whether you can sell it or not, you rattan tribe will not suffer any loss."
Purple smoke.
"Well, if that's the case, I agree."
Tengcai nodded.
Zi Yan has already said it for this reason, and he has no reason to refuse at all.
As for having a good relationship with Bozhou, he didn't think so.
The relationship with Banshu is basically just business.
Now there are not many business connections left.
"Mr. Murasaki, do we also need a market for our pottery?"
Tao Gaochang was a little jealous as he listened.
Although their pottery has a wider market than the Rattan clan's rattan ware, it is currently shrinking.
After buying pottery, it will not break for a long time, and ordinary people can use it for a long time. As a result, the markets in Bozhou and Yizhou are gradually saturated, and the pottery people are unable to open up more markets outside.
"We can all cooperate."
"At that time, I will ask Yang Weiqing, the person in charge of Yang's Trading Company in Yizhou, to contact you. If you have any business questions, you can ask him."
Purple smoke.
Yang Weiqing's level as a hidden guard is average, but his level in business is extremely high.
The business in Yizhou can almost be said to have been promoted by him alone.
"Okay, I have admired him for a long time. It is a good thing to have the opportunity to cooperate."
Tao Gaochang said.
Both he and Teng Tiancai knew Yang Weiqing.
They had been thinking about it for a long time.
But mostly hate.
It is precisely because of Yang Weiqing's business practices that the two families are in a difficult situation now.
They once thought of finding an opportunity to kill Yang Weiqing.
But business behavior cannot be solved by killing one person, so in the end, they gave up their plan.
Now that we have the opportunity to cooperate and make Yang Weiqing one of our own, this is different.
The stronger Yang Weiqing's business capabilities are, the more beneficial it will be to them.
The rattan genius became happy and began to talk about the art of rattan weaving.
Fortunately, Zi Yan was not a vulgar person, so he was still able to chat for a few words, which kept Teng Tian Tian happy.
That night, Zi Yan returned to the room arranged by Gu Fengzhang alone, it was already late at night.
She originally wanted to meet the Chang clan.
But now time has no effect.
Moreover, the Chang clan is very different from the Teng clan and the Tao clan.
The Teng tribe and the Tao tribe are both indigenous tribes that mainly do business, but the Chang tribe is mainly an indigenous tribe that believes in witch gods and makes a living by hunting.
Generally speaking, issues related to faith are more difficult to deal with and cannot be settled in a business-like manner. .
