The food festival in Dahe Town was successfully held, and the news spread.
It spread from Dahe Town to Ping'an County, to Hekou County, to Nanyang City, and to Qingzhou Prefecture. With Cheng Wanwan deliberately arranging people, the news soon spread to Yangzhou, the richest place in Dayu Kingdom.
"Have you heard that Dahe Town... the Dahe Town where the Suigong people are located, holds some kind of food festival, where you can taste all kinds of fresh food for free. It is said that many of the foods are cultivated by the Suigong people. "
"Last year, the Laji Kingdom presented many new species as tribute. It seems that they were given to the Suigong people to cultivate and breed. I don't know what they are. If I had known about the food festival earlier, I should have taken a look."
"I heard that there will be a second phase of the Food Festival, which will be on the eighth day of August. If we leave at this time, we can arrive two days early. I wonder if Mr. He is interested in going and taking a look?"
The man called He Lao is the vice president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce. He is not interested in food, only doing business.
Since the novel delicacies at this food festival come as tribute from the Laji Kingdom, they will definitely be presented to the palace by the Suigong people after they are cultivated. In order to maintain the relationship between the Dayu Kingdom and the Lachi Kingdom, even if the food tastes just average, Your Majesty The queen will spare no effort to praise them. In this way, these novel things will be praised by the nobles and wealthy people of Dayu Kingdom.
The capital city is full of nobles, while the Yangzhou city is full of wealthy people.
If you can control these delicacies, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Although Mr. He is already one of the top businessmen in Yangzhou City, which businessman would dislike him for making too much money?
He touched his beard and asked: "Come here, let's find out the details of the Dahe Town Food Festival."
People arranged by Cheng Wanwan had already sneaked into Yangzhou City, and it was too easy to find out the information. That night, the servant told Mr. He one by one the information he inquired about.
"This food festival was organized by people from Suigong. The first phase was successfully concluded at the end of July. It is said that more than 50,000 people went to Dahe Town that day, and the momentum was extremely large. There were more than 20 kinds of rare delicacies. , the most talked about is a kind of aquatic food called crayfish, there are four ways to make it, each one makes people want to swallow their tongue..."
As the boy talked, he began to drool. Although he had never seen crayfish, he couldn't control his laughter when he thought of the descriptions of those who had experienced the food festival.
He quickly wiped his saliva and continued, "I specifically asked where I could buy crayfish. The man said that during the second food festival, Suigong people would arrange a second investment conference to find food agents. "
Mr. He put down the tea cup: "Investment meeting? Agent?"
After living for more than sixty years, this was the first time he heard these two words, but he seemed to vaguely understand what they meant.
"It is said that Suigong people held their first investment meeting a month ago, allowing merchants to bid for the right to operate the Dahe Town Market Shop. The bidding fees alone collected more than 60,000 taels of silver." It's unbelievable to say, "Dahe Town was originally a village. After it was changed into a town, a market was established. The operating rights of twenty shops are actually worth so much money?"
With more than 60,000 taels, one can buy a five-entry luxury house and several main street shops in Yangzhou. He really couldn't understand why those businessmen would go to such lengths to compete for the right to operate shops in a new town. Are you trying to please Sui Gongren?
Mr. He stroked his beard and pondered, then suddenly laughed: "Tall, really tall. I originally thought that this Suigong person got to where he is today because of his beauty. From this point of view, this Suigong person is indeed smart. Otherwise, the emperor would not value a woman so much."
The boy scratched his chin: "It is said that Dahe Town is building a canal, connecting Nanyang to the west and Qingzhou to the south. In the third phase, a long canal will be built to open up the waterway between Yangzhou and Huzhou. The ambitions of these Suigong people are really big... …”
"Without ambition, how can you secure the position of Suigongren?" Mr. He said with strong interest on his face, "Make arrangements to leave for Huzhou Dahe Town today. I have to go see what's going on at this food festival."
What he wanted to see even more was how many unique tricks this Sui Gongren had.
Yangzhou can become a commercial capital because of its geographical location. It is along the coast, near the river, and has extremely developed water transportation. Whether it is going north or south, or by land, or even by sea, it is extremely convenient. Therefore, Yangzhou's business is well-deserved in Dayu Kingdom. King.
However, Dahe Town... a new town that has just been rebuilt from a village, a remote rural area with extremely inconvenient transportation, can actually attract more than 50,000 people to gather for a food festival... If the Grand Canal is really opened, there will be people in Suigong With this position in place, Dahe Town's business will become even more powerful, and over time, it will probably be compared with Yangzhou.
Early the next morning, Mr. He set off for Huzhou.
Mr. He is the vice president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce. His status is here. If he has gone, what reason does the others have not to go?
As a result, Yangzhou businessmen put aside all the things they were doing and rushed to Huzhou.
When businessmen from many areas near Yangzhou heard that Yangzhou merchants had gone to Huzhou, they couldn't bear it any more and hurried on their way.
As the eighth day of August approaches, there are more and more foreign businessmen in Huzhou.
The docks in Hekou County began to be congested, and the inns in nearby major counties and towns were overcrowded. In short, Huzhou people had never seen such a situation.
Everyone in Dahe Town is preparing for the second phase of the Food Festival. Food is essential, and service and logistics must also be perfect. This is the first time Dahe Town has gone out of Huzhou and welcomed countless businessmen from other places. So, It is necessary to give people a perfect first impression, so that when people mention Dahe Town in the future, they can’t help but praise it.
Cheng Wanwan is looking at the process arrangement of the investment promotion meeting. Although she wrote it herself, she still has to confirm all the details over and over again.
While she was busy, there was a knock on the study door. She raised her head and said, "Come in."
The person who came in was Zhao Tiezhu. He walked in and said: "Auntie, businessmen from Yangzhou have arrived. The leader's surname is He, who claims to be the vice president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce. He wants to meet with auntie before the investment conference. I wonder if auntie is there?" time?"
A smile appeared on Cheng Wanwan's lips: "I didn't expect the Yangzhou businessman to come so soon. Since he is the vice president, it is natural to meet him. You go to Jiangyue Restaurant to book a table. I will be there later."
Jiangyue Restaurant is a restaurant that the Jiang family applied to open last time after winning the right to operate Shop No. 7 through a bidding process. If the Dahe Canteen of Lao Zhao's family caters to middle- and low-end customers, then Jiangyue Restaurant specializes in serving high-end customers. Its decoration and furnishings are extremely elegant, and the Jiang family has put a lot of thought into it in order to have a foothold in Dahe Town.
He Lao and his party were taken to the new market and walked towards Jiangyue Restaurant.
This new market has just developed, and all the shops have opened within this month. There are banks, pawn shops, restaurants, teahouses, inns, escort agencies... It can be said that there are all kinds of shops, but they are a little smaller than Yangzhou City. , but given time, nothing can be said for sure.
"Mr. He, all my bosses, please come in." Zhao Tiezhu said with a warm smile on his face, "Please sit down for a while, Mr. Suigong will be here soon."
