After Du Fei put the coffee on the shelves, the situation was as bad as he expected. But he looked at the empty business in the store and was not in a hurry, because he knew that a new thing would not be accepted by everyone so easily.
However, he felt that waiting like this was not an option, so he took Yoko and Kobata to visit the daimyo and nobles in Kyushu and let them taste it for free.
This trick has indeed achieved great results. These daimyo usually have to deal with war and government affairs, and at night there are a large group of concubines waiting to be favored. Lack of energy is their occupational disease. Give it a try
After Du Fei presented the coffee, everyone felt much more energetic than before. Many people became addicted to the coffee and sent people to the town to buy it.
It didn't take long for the news to spread, and not only Kyushu, but also some businessmen from neighboring Shikoku came to buy it.
Suddenly, Du Fei's shop went from empty to crowded and extremely busy. Yoko, Kazuko, and even Xiao Changxin were all helping in the shop, but it was still too busy. Du Fei had to hire a few more helpers.
At the end of the month, after careful calculation, I actually made two thousand dollars after excluding gross profit and labor!
You know, in normal times, even a good shop in the town only earns about 200 yuan a month!
When the bosses in the town saw that coffee was so profitable, they went to Hirado to look for the source. When they inquired, they found that there was no such product! So when they met Du Fei, they all tried to flatter him and even invited him to dinner. They all wanted to start from Du Fei.
Du Fei buys some goods here~ Even the big businessmen from Hirado Town are famous for coming here.
Du Fei actually had no intention of running his own business because he knew that once the sales of coffee reach a large scale, the greater the reputation and influence, the more people will buy it.
As for these merchants who get goods from him, they just get a middle-level profit and have no source of goods at all. They only promote him for free and speed up his sales.
After all, coffee is not something that can be stored for a long time. No matter how fast you sell it, a large part of it will go moldy.
So he distributed a small part of the goods to other merchants in the town and asked them to sell to tourists and individual tourists. He directly delivered goods to various famous names on a regular basis, firmly controlling the main sales market in his own hands.
.
During this period of time, he boldly left the affairs in the shop to Yoko and Xiaobata, while he took some time off from his business to explore the traces of ghost beasts, while diligently practicing the Xumi Sect secret book given to him by Lao He.
That day, when he was carefully studying the use of the flying sword, Hehezi came in in panic: "It's not good! Sir! Someone is coming to the store to cause trouble!"
"What? You dare to come to my store and cause trouble?" Du Fei calmly closed the book and immediately came to the store.
I saw a few ronin-looking people with tachi on their waists, surrounded by a middle-aged man in gorgeous Wu clothes, arguing with Xiaoban about something~
"Is something wrong?" Du Fei glanced at the visitor indifferently. It turned out to be Otani, the director of the Hirado Town Kitakyushu United Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, he looked furious. Seeing that Du Fei seemed to be in charge, he yelled at him: "Why don't you Aoi House obey the rules? How come you secretly purchase goods from the Nanman people?"
"I don't remember that the Chamber of Commerce has a rule that says that we must purchase goods from you. Besides, you have been restricting sales to us! We have no choice, so we can only go to the Southern Barbarians directly." Du Fei suddenly felt that this person was very
Shame: I don’t have the guts to try it myself, I am jealous when I see others getting rich!
"Hmph! Anyway, today you have to transfer all the goods to our United Chamber of Commerce~ Otherwise!~" Otani carried the United Chamber of Commerce out again.
"What else? Stop supplying me with goods? I'm sorry~ I've never purchased goods from you at all~ Your purchase restrictions or bans have nothing to do with me~" Du Fei was tit for tat and refused to give in!
Because he knew in his heart that the United Chamber of Commerce would never do such a derogatory thing. It must have been Otani’s own act because he was jealous of Coffee’s astonishing profits!
Seeing that Otani was still standing there in a daze, he said slowly: "Oh~~ My behavior really angered the United Chamber of Commerce? Then I will go to Mr. Longchuan immediately and ask me where I went wrong~~"
Upon hearing this, Ogu's face immediately turned the color of pig liver! His tone suddenly softened: "It's not that serious~ As long as you share some of the goods with us~"
Du Fei looked at him so brightly that he couldn't help but drop his head and became speechless. At this moment, Du Fei suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he suddenly approached Otani and whispered: "Follow me, and take these scarecrows away!"
When Ogu heard that there seemed to be a way out, he immediately became happy: "You guys! Stop wandering around here! It's a misunderstanding! Go back first!"
After Du Fei saw the crowd dispersed, he quietly walked him to a corner: "Do you want a batch of coffee?"
"Yes! Yes!" Otani lowered his head in embarrassment: "I was afraid that you would reject me, so I made this move~ Don't be offended~"
"Hehe~ As long as you do one thing for me~ Then I guarantee that you can get a stable supply~! But this matter is somewhat risky~ Are you willing?"
"Oh?" Otani's eyes widened: "Really? No matter what it is, I will do it for you!"
Du Fei looked around and said quietly: "I heard that the arms business in Hirado Town is monopolized by Longchuan Yidan. Is this true?"
Otani sighed and said, "Isn't that right? That guy is a famous arms dealer. He made his fortune by selling arms. The arms business has been firmly controlled by him. No one dares to touch it."
"As one of the directors of the United Chamber of Commerce, you should be relatively well-informed. Can you find out for me who is supplying arms to him? Also~ in addition to Miranda, he also has stable trade directly with those Nanman merchants.
Relationship, it’s best to check these out~ How about it? Can you do it?”
All I saw was that Otani's face was uncertain, and a pair of small mung bean eyes kept turning. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, made a fist with his left hand, punched the palm of his right hand hard, and said: "Okay.
!Since you are so interesting, then I, Otani, will take a risk for you!"
