"Well, how and where do you plan to sell these five hundred jars of wine?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Does it make any difference where it is sold?" Kong Lin wondered. Of course it was sold in the capital. The capital was the most prosperous and prosperous place in the entire Dayue Dynasty. There were countless aristocratic families, celebrities and wealthy households.
"Of course there is a difference. Now the Lin family is selling in the capital and has already made a name for itself. When you first enter the capital market, if you want to see results quickly, you have to lower the price and engage in a price war. Then vicious consequences are likely to occur. Competition will eventually hurt both sides." Xiao Ming said that she had seen too many of these things in her previous life. In the case of the same quality, in order to seize market share, price reduction is inevitable.
"Both sides suffer." Confucius thought deeply. The Lin family had strong financial resources and was one of the richest families in the capital. In order to consolidate the status of the shopping mall, the younger generations of the family married people in the officialdom. Now, with the marriage between Su's family and Xu Guogong's family, The Lin family used their money to establish relations with Duke Xu's government.
In terms of financial resources, the entire Kong family is inferior to the Lin family, which has a large business. The Lin family has Xu Guogong's government as its backer. If they really want to compete, he will lose. If he is asked to give up like this, he will not be willing to do so.
The fruit wine was made by Xiao Ming. Both Su and Senior Brother Min took good care of her. She didn't want them to have a bad ending because of the wine. Looking at Kong Lin who looked thoughtful, she had to give her own suggestions.
"Competition is inevitable, but it is not impossible."
"What method, tell me." Kong Lin asked anxiously. He couldn't think of any good method for a while. In addition to restaurants, he also had several shops in the capital. He originally planned to send wine there to sell it, but now the Lin family has After seizing the opportunity, if he follows the trend, he will only fall behind.
"Don't you have several restaurants? You can put the wine in the restaurant for bidding, and the one with the highest price will get it. This way there will be no conflict with the Lin family." The people who come in and out of the restaurant are all dignitaries and children of aristocratic families. While selling wine, they also promote the restaurant.
"The annual production here will not be used to make wine. There is a certain amount of fruit wine every year." Xiao Ming said, things are rare and valuable. She suddenly thought that not all the fruits can be used to make wine, otherwise fruit wine will be put on the market in large quantities. The more stuff you have, the less valuable it is.
"Ah!" Kong Lin was speechless. He had been in business for many years and understood what Xiao Ming meant. Making money does not depend on quantity but on precision. Since ancient times, only rare and exquisite things can make people remember their beauty. The less, the more precious, and the more. Falling into the mortal world like mud.
"I will also launch a new product." Xiao Ming said, she had a new idea.
"What is it?" Kong Lin asked in surprise. Whether it was vegetables, chrysanthemum tea or fruit wine now, Xiao Ming brought him surprises and wealth every time.
"Keep it a secret for now." Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously. Now these are all empty talk. The fruit is still on the tree and is not ripe, and there is no wine.
"It will take a few more months. I'll show it to you when it's done."
"Then you have to think about me first, and my restaurant in Pingcheng will be opening in a few days. Can you pick the vegetables at home?" At this point, Kong Lin felt aggrieved. Because he returned to Beijing to get married, his mother detained him and could not leave the house. Kong Lin was not released until after they got married. During this period, he was not allowed to do anything wrong in business matters. Several big stewards were looking for him every day but could not get into the house. Everything was impossible. They all came to a standstill, delaying a lot of business.
Nowadays, several restaurants in the capital have lost a lot of business because there is no supply of vegetables. He came here this time to re-establish cooperation with Xiao Ming, transport vegetables back to the capital, and resume business.
"You can pick it at any time." Xiao Ming was surprised. In the past few days, she had reduced the amount of space spiritual spring water, and the vegetables in the ground did not grow as fast as before. In addition, Aunt Song was injured, and they did not care about the vegetables in the ground. The matter has been mature for several days. If Kong Lin doesn't come to help, she will be ready to find another way to sell it.
Kong Lin was overjoyed and fortunate that the vegetables were still left for him. I gave him two thousand taels of silver in one go as a deposit for five hundred jars of fruit wine, and two carts of vegetables per day, paid on a monthly basis.
On the way home, Xiao Ming and Xiao Han talked about this matter.
"Starting from tomorrow, we will be busy every day, picking vegetables every day." Xiao Ming said.
"It's okay, sister, the three of us get up an hour early every day, pick vegetables and go to school." Xiao Han suggested. He made so much money today and he felt very calm. He had lost interest in money for a long time. After the four hundred jars of fruit wine were bought by the magistrate's wife, Mrs. Lin directly took the five hundred jars of wine that she had ordered for four thousand taels of silver. Looking at the nearly ten thousand taels of silver, she suddenly felt a feeling in her heart that she had never experienced before. The tranquility, neither ecstasy nor panic.
He never thought that one day he would have so much money in front of him, so close at hand. He didn't ask for any of that sum of money, and let his sister keep it all.
Now when I heard my sister say that I made another two thousand taels of silver today, I felt not only happy but also a little bit disappointed.
It's my sister who has been taking care of them all this time.
"You have to get up to practice martial arts every day and water the ground. It's already tiring. I think it's better to ask a few more people to help." Xiao Ming said. Xiao Yu is young and has limited things to do. Xiao Yu does the watering work every morning. Han and Xia Xiaoba did it, and she couldn't bear to let them suffer and delay their studies.
She had to pick two carts of vegetables every day, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Without Xiao Han and the others to help, she and her godmother would be left alone, and it would take most of the day.
Adding human gestures is a must.
"Why not buy it instead of hiring someone?" Xia Xiaoba suggested
"Buying people." Xiao Ming was surprised. As a modern person, she had never thought of buying people. In her mind, human trafficking was illegal.
"Yes, if you buy a few servants who are loyal, reliable, and hard-working, and have a contract to sell themselves, you won't be afraid of them being disloyal." Xia Xiaoba said. He grew up in the Hou Mansion and has seen many such things. A loyal person The servant can do many things for the master and think what the master wants.
"Moreover, Xiao Han and Xiao Yu now have a very hard time practicing martial arts every day, and Mr. Wu has arranged more and more homework." The husband wants Xiao Han to try out next year. Xiao Han will stay up late every night and read late into the night. Xiao Ming doesn't know all this hard work.
"Okay, let's go to town sometime." Xiao Ming said.
The carriage entered the village, and there were many people surrounded by the big trees in the village. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the discussion was very loud. It seemed that there was some big happy event, and they had no intention of going home in the evening.
"Girl Xiao, you are back!" Mrs. Wang greeted Xiao Ming enthusiastically when she saw her.
"Yes, Sister-in-law Wang, what are you doing?" Xiao Ming asked curiously. In the past, when they came back, they would go home to make dinner, but today they are all gathered here.
"You don't know yet." Mrs. Wang said, the smile on her face stopped, "The wasteland next to you is going to be built, and you are going to have new neighbors."
