Lin Feng took the letter and Gao Xiaoyu stepped back. He opened it and read it quickly.
What catches the eye is the familiar handwriting of Bai Yuyao.
Bai Yuyao's letters are divided into three parts.
At the front, Bai Yuyao said that the child was fine and everyone at home was fine, so Lin Feng didn't have to worry.
In the middle of the letter, Bai Yuyao mentioned the Lin family's industrial development. The pharmaceutical, catering and breeding industries established by Bai Yuyao in Xianyang are all developing rapidly. Although tea is also expanding, it is just that tea has developed for a period of time. Compared with medicine, catering, and breeding, it is slower and the speed is obviously much slower.
Regarding tea, Bai Yuyao is preparing to make adjustments.
This is Bai Yuyao's business matter.
The last part is about Bai Yuyao's longing for Lin Feng. There are not many words, but after reading it, Lin Feng can imagine Bai Yuyao missing him at home alone.
This is his wife.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Feng began to write a reply to Bai Yuyao. He replied one by one, and when he wrote about tea, Lin Feng suddenly stopped.
An idea struck him.
The sales of tea in Xianyang and even Yongzhou have temporarily stalled. However, tea is a good thing in places like Liangzhou. The further you go west, the more popular tea is in the Western Regions and even higher plateau areas.
Because tea can relieve fatigue, promote the digestion of meat in plateau areas, and can also supplement nutrition.
This is a necessity.
Slightly better tea can only be used by nobles. Ordinary people use it sparingly, or even if they use it, it is the most common tea.
This is the market for Lin’s tea.
After Lin Feng had a clear idea, he elaborated in his letter and said that he would find a way to open up tea trade routes in Liangzhou. Lin Feng asked Bai Yuyao to pay attention to her health at the back of the letter, and wrote some disgusting love words, then sealed the letter and asked Gao Xiaoyu to arrange for someone to send it away immediately.
After Lin Feng finished making arrangements, he continued to look through the information.
Not long after, an attendant came in to report that Zhang Feng Mansion was coming to visit with people from various major families.
Lin Feng thought, this is an opportunity.
Members of the Zhang family and other major families lost part of their interests in Guzang County this time in order to support Lin Feng's work. Although it deals in salt, the price of Lianhua Mountain salt is relatively high, and it is not a monopoly.
Although major families say they can make money selling salt, they actually don't make a lot of money.
As for tea, it can be promoted. On the one hand, they use major families to promote tea and expand the Lin family's business territory. On the other hand, help people from major families make money. Only the exchange of interests can make these people rely more closely on Lin Feng.
This is killing two birds with one stone.
After Lin Feng had a detailed plan, he no longer had any doubts and arranged for Zhang Fengfu and others to be invited to the hall.
Afterwards, Lin Feng went to the hall. When Zhang Fengfu and others saw Lin Feng, they quickly stood up and saluted together.
Zhang Fengfu looked sincere and explained: "Master Hou, we came together because we just heard that you sold salt to merchants in the Western Regions. According to the news from An Guijia and others, the price of salt is 500 yuan per catty. . At such a price, it is naturally excellent to sell it to merchants from the Western Regions and make money from the Western Regions people."
"It's just that if such salt is sold in Guzang County or even Liangzhou, how much price will be set? If it is five hundred yuan per catty, it is probably too expensive. Only a very small number of people can afford such a price. Ordinary people simply don’t dare to use it and can’t afford it.”
There was deep concern on his face.
With five hundred coins per pound of salt, although the business can be done, there is no possibility of making money at all.
Sales volume is too small.
The rest of the big families also nodded. They helped Lin Feng develop the salt in Lianhua Mountain and were excited to open a shop, hoping to make some money by selling salt.
Today, salt is too expensive.
The price is too expensive and only the rich can use it. The problem is that there are few dignitaries, sales of salt are small, and there is naturally little money to be made.
Just like that, everyone looked at Lin Feng helplessly, looking pitiful.
Lin Feng looked at the people present, with a calm expression, and chuckled: "The sales of Lianhua mountain salt in Daqin will not be five hundred yuan per catty. Of course, it will not be an ordinary price. The current pricing, I am roughly It’s set at around three hundred and fifty cents per pound. For most wealthy businessmen and gentry, as well as people from big families, three hundred and fifty cents per pound of salt is not an expensive price, so you don’t have to worry.”
After everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
A pound of salt costs three hundred and fifty cents. Although it is very expensive, at least it can be sold at this price. After a month, you can also make some money.
Lin Feng saw everyone's expressions and explained: "If the price of salt from Lianhua Mountain is reduced on a large scale. On the one hand, the output of Lianhua Mountain salt cannot keep up with sales, and the supply exceeds demand. The price of salt will then rise. If the sex is in place, there won’t be a situation where the salt is stir-fried.”
"On the other hand, when other salt merchants see the price of Lianhua Mountain salt, they know that they are not on the same path as them, and they will not come to resist and cause trouble. If you want to sell salt, you have to cut off the path and living space of other salt merchants, which is to say that you are not in the same league as them. It’s not appropriate to be an enemy of people.”
Zhang Fengfu took the initiative and said: "The Marquis is wise, I will obey the Marquis's arrangements."
The others saw this and agreed.
Lin Feng took a step back, and they gave up.
Lin Feng saw that the enthusiasm of these people was affected and knew that these people were thinking about not making much money.
This is human nature.
Lin Feng continued: "You are engaged in salt business. This is a way to make money continuously. Even if you make little money, it is still a business. You fully support me, and I will not treat you badly. I still have a piece of business in my hands. The business is tea business. I don’t know, are you interested?”
Zhang Fengfu's eyes lit up.
tea!
This is quite expensive in the Western Region, and it is very rare. It is not easy for most people to buy it.
This is good stuff.
Zhang Fengfu's heart moved and he said: "Master Hou, of course we want to buy tea and run it. However, we people don't have the channels. We are a small family in Guzang County, a small family, and we don't have enough strength. I don’t have enough connections. It’s also difficult to start a tea business.”
The eyes of the other heads of families were even more shining.
Everyone looked expectant.
They originally came to see Lin Feng just to complain and hope that Lin Feng would consider their situation more. After all, their respective families also had to survive.
You can't, just keep losing money.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone knew that this was an opportunity. If they can really manage tea, their families will have another business route, which is an excellent way to make money.
Everyone looked eagerly at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng noticed the expressions of these people and smiled in his heart.
The major families have suffered great losses, and it is normal to have grievances. Now that he knew there was a profit to be made, he followed Lin Feng wholeheartedly.
This is also normal.
This is the exchange of interests.
Between Lin Feng and the major families, except for the Zhang Feng Mansion, and even including the Zhang Feng Mansion, there was a drive and alliance of interests, which led to the alliance between the two parties.
This is the relationship in most cases.
Those who do not mix interests, that is, Xunzi and Lin Feng have a relationship like family members.
Lin Feng knew one thing very well. He didn't think there was anything mean about these people surrounding him for profit. If Lin Feng can gather these people for my use through profit and accomplish things, then that's okay.
