After Xu Guogong left Xiao Yu, he went home full of anger. Halfway through, he couldn't swallow his breath and said, "Go to Cheng Guogong's Mansion!"
Chengguo Gongfu is the queen's natal family.
The boy at the door informed him and led Xu Guogong in.
"What kind of wind has brought you here? No one has come to my house for a long time!" Cheng Guogong was playing with tea sets in the yard. When Xu Guogong came in, he said with a smile.
The boy who led the way resigned, and when I looked around the yard, there was not a single servant waiting on me.
Duke Cheng Guo glanced at Duke Xu and said with a smile: "Don't look at it. There are no servants in the yard to serve you. I'm not used to those people. Whatever you want, I'll serve you."
Xu Guogong laughed and scolded, "Whose life will be shortened? You can sit still and still think about drinking tea! Your butt is burned!"
"You mean the King of Nanhuai?" Cheng Guogong had a look of disdain on his face.
Xu Guogong looked at his expression and sat opposite him, "What kind of tea?"
Duke Cheng Guo handed the brewed tea in the teapot to Duke Xu, "Have a taste."
Half of the white jade tea cup was filled, and the clear and yellow tea surface was filled with aroma.
“Wuyi rock tea?”
"Ha, as expected of you, you really have it in your mouth. Yes, it's top-grade Wuyi Rock Tea. The Queen got a can of it this year. She knows I like to drink it, so she sent it to you. You're lucky, it's my first time today.
Make this tea."
Xu Guogong drank tea and twirled the tea cup, "You are so calm, you must have already had a way to deal with it?"
Cheng Guogong said: "Want to hear?"
Xu Guogong immediately said: "Please help me quickly. Among our families, our wine business accounts for the largest proportion. Now that the King of Nanhuai has lowered the tax on wine, the price of wine has also dropped. We have not made any profit at all."
I just went to his winery to look for him, and the brat was doing Tai Chi with me before his hair even grew, which is absolutely disgusting."
Cheng Guogong took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Let me ask you, there are so many profitable businesses in the country, why do you think Xiao Yu chose the wine industry to start?"
"Of course it's because the princess knows how to make wine and has a recipe in her hand! That's why I'm anxious. The recipe in her hand can even be conquered by the envoys of the Southern Kingdom.
Do you know how excited I was when I learned that the envoy from the Southern Kingdom came to our court to order drinks?
I had everything prepared and was just waiting for the drink order, but what happened? They immediately stopped me.
How big is their winery? How dare they swallow an order as big as that of Southern China in one go without fear of dying."
Duke Cheng Guo asked: "If he has a prescription in his hand, can he fight with you in the ring?"
Xu Guogong was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"He is now lowering taxes and lowering the price of drinks. If he wants to make money from the drinks he sells, he will definitely lower the cost. Otherwise, is he doing poverty alleviation?
He competes with you for the market not only because he has a recipe, but also because he can make drinks at a lower cost. This is the root cause.
If you want to reduce costs, it’s not just the recipe, manpower and material resources, but also raw materials, which are all costs.”
"You said his raw materials are cheap? But the grains used in these raw materials are all produced in our own village. The price is already very low. How else can it be so low?"
Cheng Guogong squinted his eyes and took a timid sip of tea.
Xu Guogong was furious and said, "Don't sell the lawsuit. Just say, if you can help me overcome this difficulty this time, I will thank you very much."
Cheng Guogong put down the tea cup and said: "It's not that the cost is low, but the cost is zero."
"How can it be zero cost?" Xu Guogong was shocked. "No matter how much we compress it, we can't just steal the grain from the people. We have to pay some money."
"What if he didn't use the grains he got himself? Zhenningbo Mansion is now in disarray and Gu Yao is the only woman to clean it up. Gu Yao can support the overall situation by herself?
Don't forget, we all know that Gu Yao was once taken away by the King of Nanhuai. After staying in the eldest princess's mansion for a day, she went back safe and sound?
Chen Heng is dead, how can she still live well? Back in Zhenninghou Mansion, Gu Yao probably bullied Princess Nanhuai a lot, why was Gu Yao let go, and why didn't King Nanhuai and Princess Nanhuai take revenge? "
"You mean, they use Gu Yao as a puppet? But, what can Gu Yao do as a woman!" Xu Guogong said.
"Gu Yao is a woman and can't do much, but what if the King of Nanhuai protects her? The Zhenning Mansion has been the biggest and strongest among us in recent years. They collapsed so unexpectedly, leaving behind
What a good thing.
Especially the land that Zhenningbo Mansion has enclosed over the years.
Among those Zhuangzi, which one does not send grain every year? The Zhenning Bo Mansion can occupy half of the granaries in various places. If his huge property is all acquired by Xiao Yu alone, do you think his wine will cost anything? Wait until he takes the market
After that, the price will go up again just because he said it will go up."
