Hearing Su Qingluan's words, Xie Deshun couldn't help but take a breath: He actually secretly sent people to monitor the Su family and determined that the farthest place this family had visited in recent times was Lefeng Town. .
The capital was thousands of miles away, so how did she know the exact price of jam?
Su Qingluan knew this incident purely by chance - everything started when she went to Hongfu Tower before.
At that time, in order to wait for the dough to rise, she went upstairs to write down how to make "silver noodles".
But no matter how detailed the steps are, it only takes the time of one recipe. In about a quarter of an hour, Su Qingluan wrote down every step and precaution he could think of.
When he had nothing to do, Su Qingluan began to chat with Shopkeeper Liang in the upstairs room, mainly focusing on their experiences during this period and their previous experiences of "Tengu Eclipse the Moon".
Su Qingluan was far less "outspoken" in front of Shopkeeper Liang than in front of Mu Xingzhi, so he only spoke vaguely. But Shopkeeper Liang said that he fell to drive away the Tengu and was kicked up by the big general's belly, which made Su Qingluan laughed heartily.
After that, he mysteriously said that his friends who were traveling all over the world had brought rare delicacies from the capital. It was said that the price was as high as twenty gold for a small jar, and the collection of each flavor was even more valuable.
Shopkeeper Liang also said that after eating this, he felt that all the desserts were a bit bland.
So under Su Qingluan's expectant expression, shopkeeper Liang took out a hollow wooden box that Su Qingluan was very familiar with.
Su Qingluan had a bad premonition in her heart at that time, but she could always convince herself that this design was not patented, and it was not complicated. Maybe with so many designers, there would always be some confusion...
Then Su Qingluan felt that the next moment, she was slapped in the face, because she found that the porcelain bottle in the wooden box looked damn familiar!
At this moment, Shopkeeper Liang was still unpacking and picking up which pot, praising in a very admiring tone how ingenious this "blind box"-like outer packaging design was, and how each series formed a more complete picture. Pictures or something...
When Su Qingluan heard the shameful words of praise, he wished he could move his feet and create a set of Jiangnan gardens, the kind with small bridges and flowing water.
So he originally planned to explain the true origin of the jam to shopkeeper Liang, but seeing this attitude, Su Qingluan silently swallowed the words that came to her lips, otherwise it might be even more embarrassing.
In fact, Su Qingluan was quite sure that her jam would be popular, and she also understood that according to the temperament of the rich and idle people in the capital, they would even spend a lot of money just to have a bite of their favorites.
But a jar of twenty gold or something is really outrageous. Sure enough, rich people are really rich.
When Su Qingluan thought about his fixed commission of "one gold per pot", he almost felt that the capitalists would praise him for his kindness.
Of course, she also understands that "twenty gold" is just a time when supply exceeds demand at this stage. Everyone's novelty is still there, so the price is artificially high. This situation cannot and should not be maintained forever.
But even so, Su Qingluan would not let the people in the Xie Mansion treat her as a fool.
So when the other party wanted to negotiate with her in a cunning way, she directly showed her trump card, "I know you have taken a large portion of the profits," and overturned the entire negotiation table.
Originally, Xie Deshun wanted to play Tai Chi and bluff Su Qingluan into not raising the price. Now that Su Qingluan has revealed all her trump cards, it is no longer interesting to play around. .
So Manager Xie also put away his overly attentive and kind-hearted Maitreya-like smile, and his little eyes flashed with calculation: "But Madam Su, we agreed at the beginning that once the commission price is set, it cannot be changed."
Su Qingluan said with a smile: "I also said at the beginning that Su Ji can let Xie Mansion be my only legal channel to sell Su Ji jam, but this does not include deliberately buying up most of the inventory and using a small amount of inventory to make people hungry. marketing."
Even if it is hunger marketing, selling a hundred sets of jams is not comparable to hoarding more than 60% of the jams in the hope of getting a "curious item" - after all, hunger marketing is to "wheat the appetite", and hoarding goods with malicious intent is Just to drive up commodity prices.
In fact, Su Qingluan had no actual basis for this statement, but her speculation. However, what Shopkeeper Liang said was that this jam was in short supply and a jar was rare, which made Su Qingluan suspicious.
This is not the Internet age with the explosion of information. No matter how good something is, it will take some time for word of mouth to truly develop. However, the "trial products" that Su Qingluan gave to the Xie Mansion were not enough to make the wealthy people in the entire capital "buy them like crazy".
Unless there is an invisible hand behind it.
Being exposed again, Butler Xie felt a little embarrassed. Su Qingluan asked puzzledly: "Normally, even if it is not operated behind the scenes, this jam is very profitable. As a high-level manager, Butler Xie will not be so short-sighted - such malicious price speculation, once it is People realize that whether it is Su Ji or even Xie Mansion, the credibility will be severely damaged."
Thinking about this, Su Qingluan actually regretted cooperating with Xie Mansion - such a quick and quick success attitude was like the kind of person who is extremely hungry and doesn't let go of anything he can eat.
Wait... Su Qingluan's heart moved: This metaphor made her realize that something was wrong, but before she could figure it out, Xie Deshun's words interrupted her thoughts.
"Ms. Su, you don't know something." Seeing that he was fooled, Xie Deshun's face fell with a frown, and he dismissed the maids and servants waiting on both sides, then lowered his voice and approached Su Qingluan as if he had revealed some secret. Nearby, "Actually, I'm just a manager. Aren't the masters of the Xie Mansion the ones who really make the decisions?"
Su Qingluan looked at the other party's performance with cold eyes without any emotion in her heart, but her face seemed to be very curious: "Why, is it not your instruction to be so impatient and maliciously speculate on prices?"
"How is that possible?" Xie Deshun looked like he had been wronged. "From the beginning to the end, this errand was just a matter of getting it done and being punished if it was done! You are doing business with the entire Xie Mansion, is it possible? Will the entry be received separately in the pocket of my little steward? Haven’t they all gone to the master’s house!”
"It's just..." Maitreya's originally smiling face turned into a big bitter gourd, "The master has a destiny, how can I, a human being, dare to say no? Since the last time I learned about the temperature drop, I have not been able to produce new fruits for half a year. Jiang, my master is very worried about whether Mrs. Su’s family can continue to operate!”
"oh?"
"But I still have great confidence in Mrs. Su's craftsmanship, but... my arm can't twist my thigh! The master is anxious to collect profits on time every month, and I can't change it on the spot, so I can only... come up with this last resort..." said He looked completely guilty, as if he had no choice but to do so.
Su Qingluan understood clearly: The relationship was a deception and abduction. After finding that it didn't work, he planned to play the emotional card?
