Yang Dehou carefully picked up the wine glass and took a sip!
But with just such a small sip, he felt a ball of fire rolling down his throat and into his stomach!
"hiss……"
Yang Dehou took a breath, his face full of shock that was hard to hide!
Although he was not considered a prominent and powerful nobleman in Youzhou City, he had a wide network of contacts and a rich family background due to his extremely skillful communication skills.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Dehou has tasted all the delicacies and wines in Youzhou.
However, the wine Ji Lie took out was something he had never heard of!
As clean as water, yet fragrant.
While the wine is strong, it is also mellow, soft, sweet and refreshing!
Yang Dehou couldn't guarantee anything else, but what he was sure of was that if he sold it in Youzhou, he would definitely make a lot of money!
"I wonder what Mr. Yang thinks of my wine?"
Ji Lie said with a smile.
"It is definitely considered a good wine. Once launched, it will definitely seize the market and cut off the sales of other wines."
Yang Dehou first praised, then shook his head and sighed,
"It's just that if this happens, the young master will definitely offend a lot of people."
"That's why I found Mr. Yang. I hope Mr. Yang can help find a reliable partner."
"After all, Yang Dong's family has deep connections in Youzhou City."
"As for the commission, it should be paid according to the rules of Dong Yang's family."
Ji Lie chuckled softly.
When Yang Dehou heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
As a broker, he deals with people, and usually receives 10% as a reward after the deal is completed.
The wine Ji Lie brought out was of excellent quality. Once the deal was concluded, it would be worth at least one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If it's 10%, the commission will be at least 10,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of money!
Yang Dehou calmed down, coughed slightly, and said with a smile,
"It's my honor to find you, the young master."
"If that's the case, then our commission will be halved, just think of it as making friends with the young master!"
Seeing Ji Lie's extraordinary demeanor and casually bringing out such fine wine, Yang Dehou immediately wanted to make friends.
Although the half-percent commission is worth several thousand dollars, to Yang Dehou, who makes a living as a broker, it is far less worthwhile than establishing a good relationship with Ji Lie.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yang!"
Ji Lie and Yang Dehou looked at each other and smiled.
After reaching a deal and establishing friendship, Yang Dehou began to consider a partner for Ji Lie.
"Brewing wine requires a lot of grain. In my opinion, the young master should find a business that makes a living from grain as a partner."
"There are many commercial houses in the city that are engaged in the grain business, but there are only a few that are strong."
Yang Dehou thought for a moment and named a company.
"Why don't we just go to Zhao's Trading Company? Their family has been in business for generations and has strong financial resources!"
"Everything is subject to the arrangement of Boss Yang's family!"
Ji Lie nodded in agreement.
After some discussion, Yang Dehou took Ji Lie's Erguotou and immediately set off to visit Zhao's Trading Company.
Ji Lie went back to his house to rest for the time being, and in the afternoon, he sent Laifu over to inquire about the news.
As a time traveler, besides making wine, Ji Lie is also proficient in other ways to make money.
But those methods are either too dangerous, such as making iron and salt.
At that time, salt and iron were exclusively sold. If you don't have enough ability to touch this thing, it will only make the Nine Clans confused.
Either it was not suitable for the current situation and was temporarily given up by Ji Lie.
After careful consideration, Ji Lie finally chose the most suitable liquor!
As for why we went to Yang Dehou and asked him to help find a partner, the reason was also very simple.
After all, Ji Lie is the prince of Daxia. If he acts too openly and attracts the attention of the court, he will be in trouble!
Before he has absolute strength, he still has to keep a low profile.
When Ji Lie returned to his house, he ate pickles and two more steamed buns. He couldn't wait to send Laifu out just after noon.
He can't survive a single day of this hard life!
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Laifu to run back to the palace and bring good news to Ji Lie.
"Shopkeeper Yang said that he has made an appointment with someone from Zhao's Trading Company to wait for the prince at the pavilion by the river outside the city in half an hour!"
This Yang Dehou is still very reliable in his work!
Ji Lie nodded with satisfaction.
Half an hour is neither long nor short. Just leaving the city from the palace takes a lot of effort.
So Ji Lie didn't delay, called Zhang Changde, took Laifu, and rushed out of the city.
It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the pavilion Yang Dehou mentioned.
It's just that this place is relatively remote, and there aren't even any ghosts around.
Looking from a distance, besides Yang Dehou, there was another person sitting in the pavilion.
There were also about a dozen big men dressed as guards standing guard around the pavilion.
"My lord, something seems to be wrong."
Zhang Changde on the side whispered.
"Now that you've come, take care of yourself. Just watch my eyes and act accordingly."
Ji Lie whispered an instruction and walked towards the pavilion calmly.
Several big men guarding the pavilion saw the arrival of Ji Lie and the others and had no intention of stopping them, but there was a trace of ill-intention in their expressions.
"Master Chang is here!"
Yang Dehou quickly stood up to greet him and introduced enthusiastically,
"Come on, let me introduce you to Mr. Chang Wei Chang, the man who brewed Erguotou Liquor."
"This is Liu Youxin, the shopkeeper of Zhao's Trading Company."
Liu Youxin was not too old, probably in his thirties.
Fair complexion, thin lips.
Although he is far less handsome than Ji Lie, he is still handsome.
He was only dressed in silk and satin, and had a few jade rings on his hands, making him look like a nouveau riche.
Seeing Ji Lie walking in, Liu Youxin had no intention of getting up. Instead, he looked at him sideways.
Looking at the young and tender-looking Ji Lie, a flash of disdain flashed in Liu Youxin's eyes!
But when he noticed the strong and burly Zhang Changde behind him, his expression became a little cautious!
"You brewed Erguotou?"
Liu Youxin snorted coldly.
His attitude was so arrogant that Ji Lie didn't pay attention to him. Instead, he sat down slowly and said hello to Yang Dehou first.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you!!"
Liu Youxin frowned and said unhappily.
"Keep your voice down, I'm not deaf!"
Ji Lie glanced at Liu Youxin and then said lazily,
"Yes, I brewed it!"
"I have already heard from Yang Dehou about the general situation."
Liu Youxin was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly,
"You give Erguotou's brewing formula to our Zhao's Trading Company. Once Erguotou starts selling, we will divide the profits 30/70."
"Zhao's Trading Company is willing to give me 70%?"
Ji Lie looked at Liu Youxin with some surprise.
"Seventy percent belongs to our Zhao family. If you can get 30%, you have to look at our uncle's face!"
A guard brought by Liu Youxin interrupted.
