The east side of Ningyuan County is bustling with activity.
The new Qingxi Fang, covering an area of 624 acres, has finally been completed and will be officially opened today.
Even in the early morning, the gongs and drums were noisy.
Several lion dance teams come to life at the gate of Xinqingxifang, and there are also two stages.
The fireworks and firecrackers went off endlessly.
This is definitely the most lively place in Ningyuan County.
In the past, no shop or workshop had such a grand opening.
Given the reputation of Qingxi Brewing in Dayu, such a battle is absolutely normal.
This is a new addition to Yujiang!
It's the time when the limelight is unparalleled.
This is also something that the people of Ningyuan County are proud of. Ningyuan County finally has something to offer.
Now among those vendors from out of town, who wouldn’t give a thumbs up when talking about Qingxi Brewing?
Inside and outside the gatehouse with the Qingxifang plaque hanging on it, there are densely packed people.
Most of them are just watching.
Others are workers recently recruited by Qingxifang in Ningyuan County, and then there are the former owners of wineries in Ningyuan County.
Today, under Lu Fang's instruction, He Zhigao has already completed the annexation of the entire brewing industry in Ningyuan County.
The Wang family's Guihuafang and the Li family's Pinglefang, although the relationship between these two families and Lu Fang is not close, and is even quite subtle. But they can't stop the annexation of the industry.
Osmanthus osmanthus wine, which used to dominate Ningyuan County, is now completely dominated by Qingxi wine in the high-end market. What else is there to do?
As for the Li family's Pinglefang and Qingpingfang, they didn't have any good wines to offer, so naturally they couldn't resist.
Nowadays, Qingxi has brewed several wines, which can be regarded as covering high, medium and low-end markets.
Even if the Li family and the Wang family have money, they are not willing to invest in a losing business.
In addition, many of the masters in the winery were poached by He Zhigao, so he simply stopped the business.
Qingpingfang, which did not have the support of a wealthy family, had been bought by He Zhigao a long time ago. Now, even the former owner is working as a steward in Qingxifang.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to the shopkeeper! The opening of the new shop will surely bring a lot of money and make money every day."
"Congratulations to you two shopkeepers. It's a great opening."
"Thank you very much."
"Everyone please come in."
"..."
He Xuquan, He Zhigao and his son were doing the work of welcoming guests under the house sign.
Qingxifang, the two of them are the apparent owners.
In fact, not many people in Ningyuan County know that Lu Fang is the real boss of Qingxifang.
But today, most of the wealthy businessmen from Ningyuan County who came to congratulate him came because of his face.
Wang Ye, the head of the Wang family, and Xu Zhilou, the head of the Xu family, naturally came. Even Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun came back from Tanzhou specially.
Then there are the well-known wealthy businessmen in Ningyuan County.
Now, of course, they no longer have the idea of going against Lu Fang.
Liu Mao was transferred to You County.
And when it comes to new crops, they all still rely on Lu Fang. Wang, Xu and the family have had a bumper harvest. They have made a lot of money just from the harvest in the fields. Who wouldn't be jealous?
The opening of Lu Fang's new workshop is undoubtedly a good opportunity to make up for the relationship between them and Lu Fang.
"The county magistrate!"
"I don't know if the county magistrate is coming, but I'm not far away to welcome him. I'd like to ask the county magistrate to help me."
At about nine o'clock, even the county magistrate Zou Yi came, bringing with him the officials from the county government office.
It can be said that all the officials, wealthy businessmen in Ningyuan County have gathered here.
He Xuquan, He Zhigao and his son came up to greet him, exchanged a few words, and then invited Zou Yi to go inside.
Inside, Lu Fang was waiting for guests in person.
to ten o'clock.
More heavyweights have arrived.
The eldest son Liang Dong, Xue Liangce, the son of Xue Yuwen, the transfer envoy of Jingnan County, Huo Qubing, the youngest son of the comfort envoy, Lu Lin, the eldest son of the richest man's family, etc.
All the people who had made good friends with Lu Fang in Tanzhou came.
Although they may not come just for Lu Fang's sake, they do it for Liang Dong's sake.
Everyone knows that Liang Dong is the one who makes the bulk of the money in this business.
Xu Zhen also came over.
The arrival of these big shots naturally made the common people who were watching the excitement talk about it.
The backstage of Qingxifang is really scary!
Lu Fang and Zou Yizi also went to the door to greet him personally.
"Lv Fang, a common man, has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Xiaoguan Zou Yi has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
First, give Liang Dong a gift.
"No gift."
Liang Dong said with a smile.
Lu Fang, who was just showing off, immediately straightened up and then thanked Xue Liangce, Xu Qubing and others.
Then he led everyone inside.
Tea and pastries have been prepared inside.
However, naturally, these ministers cannot be left to Wang Ye, and Xu Zhilou and the others will entertain them together.
Lu Fang took them to another room, and even Zou Yi was very sensible and just sent them to the door, then apologized and left.
He knew that he couldn't fit into this circle. He couldn't help feeling that Lu Fang was really lucky.
He has not yet obtained the official title. If he obtains the official title in the future, even if he is just a civil servant. With such a relationship, he will be able to navigate the officialdom with ease.
But after Lu Fang took Liang Dong and others to sit down in the room, he said to Liang Dong: "Your Highness, I plan to quit the winery business."
"Um?"
Liang Dong frowned instantly, "What do you mean?"
Now is the time for him to taste the sweetness.
With the current output of Qingxifang, he has already made a lot of money. Lu Fang actually said that he wanted to quit at this time.
Naturally, he couldn't understand what Lu Fang was thinking.
Lu Fang smiled softly and said: "The right way to be a scholar is to take the imperial examination! Doing business is too time-consuming. I wonder if you are interested in this wine shop?"
Liang Dong was even more stunned.
Then he said: "Are you serious?"
If he said he was not interested, it would definitely be a lie. Because if he could buy the winery from Lu Fang, he would also have production channels.
From now on, Qingxi Brewing will belong to him personally. Even for him, it will be a good source of wine.
Not to mention him, even Lu Lin and others couldn't help but feel a little moved at this time.
It's a pity that they can't compete with Liang Dong.
Lu Fang nodded, "Seriously. I own 80% of the shares in this winery and I really want to transfer it out."
"become!"
Liang Dong was also unambiguous and said: "Then you make a price."
He didn't think much about it.
I just thought that Lu Fang really had no time to take care of these businesses. Moreover, these days, there are indeed very few scholars who want to take the imperial examination route to do business.
Furthermore, he also knew that Lu Fang was extremely rich now.
Lu Fang smiled and said, "Your Highness, just watch and do it."
He knew that Liang Dong would not be stingy when taking action.
Liang Dong pointed at him and said angrily: "You guy, you are making sure that I will not take advantage of you!"
Then he said: "Well, let's do this. I'll ask two people to come over and have a look and calculate. Then I'll give you the number."
"Um."
Lu Fang nodded again.
This matter is almost done.
In fact, he was just thinking about Lu Liang.
Jingnan County is Liang Shi's fiefdom. To rebel here is no different from seeking death. You can only choose another place.
By then, his properties in Ningyuan County will definitely be confiscated by the court. Rather than doing this, it is better to exchange more money now.
Furthermore, if it is sold to Liang Dong, He Zhigao and others will probably not be implicated.
