Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 738: Old Zhu has set his sights on the Hu Family Winery
Master Hu glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was only thinking about making an advantage, and asked a question with a smile.

"Your Majesty, since this wine is sent to the palace for you to drink, does it count as tribute wine?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He didn't expect that Mr. Hu would ask such a question.

However, there are indeed rules here.

If you want to send ordinary things into the palace, and send them there for a long time, you really need to have a reputation.

Otherwise, wouldn't the palace have been in chaos long ago?
So Mr. Hu's question is really what it should be.

But why did Zhu Yuanzhang always feel that there was something wrong with Master Hu's smile?

You know, although Mr. Hu is not a stingy person, he is actually not very generous.

Especially this kind of thing of asking for money, Master Hu has always been particularly disgusted with it. Why did he change his temper today?
It was this suspicion that made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally planning to nod and agree, hesitate.

Is there a trap here?

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still hesitating, Mr. Hu was speechless.

"No! Your Majesty, you are so interesting now!"

"What's wrong?"

"If I send this wine to the palace, will it not even qualify as a tribute?"

"That's fine, if that's the case, you can come here from time to time and bring back a jar or two, and that'll be considered as a gift from me to my in-laws!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so provoked by Master Hu that he could hardly hold back.

Why is the method of provoking someone useful?
Because of this method, it works no matter how you use it.

Look, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Master Hu was plotting something here, but he still went ahead with it.

"Humph, since you and I are relatives, how can I let you do this?"

"Don't worry, you can set the rules when the time comes, and we can let the palace come here to purchase."

"But you have to come to the palace as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to drink when we want to, which would be meaningless."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu nodded.

"This is an easy matter!"

"But, Your Majesty, I have something to tell you in advance!"

"This wine is the legacy I left for Anqing and his wife."

"When the time comes, I will sell it under the name of tribute wine. Please arrange a clerk in advance!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.

Why do you need paperwork again?
After thinking about it again, Zhu Yuanzhang understood everything.

Suddenly, he looked at Master Hu as if he were an insect.

"Hu Weiyong, you are so smart!"

"You won't suffer any loss no matter what!"

"The tributes sent to the palace can earn money from the palace, and also earn the name of tribute wine."

"How could we not know you?"

"With such a reputation, plus your wine is really good, won't you make a lot of money in the future?"

Master Hu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had figured it out, and he didn't find it surprising.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was never a stupid man, he just didn't understand some things.

But if you think about it more, it is easy to figure out what is going on here.

So, Master Hu nodded calmly.

"Right! That's what I originally thought!"

"But this doesn't break the rules!"

"Isn't that what the other tributes did?"

"It's just that the tributes from other places are not as good as our wine in terms of both quality and quantity."

"So, this thing can be done!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Master Hu, smacking his lips speechlessly.

"It's in accordance with the rules, but I feel a little unhappy!"

"I think about it over and over again, but I feel like you are making money by using our name." "Your wine is good, but if it didn't have the reputation of tribute wine, I'm afraid it wouldn't sell so well, right?"

Master Hu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"So, your majesty, what do you mean?"

"At worst, I won't sell it under the name of tribute wine. Anyway, my quality is not bad, so how can I not sell it?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Master Hu was about to get angry, he immediately hooked Master Hu's shoulders and smiled.

"Hehehe, Weiyong, what are you talking about? We are old brothers and relatives."

"How can you say such unorthodox words?"

"But, after thinking about your method, I found that there is actually a better one!"

"You said, since you can sell well even under the name of tribute wine, what if I personally write an inscription for you and give you the name of imperial wine?"

"Then you have to sell it for more money, right?"

Master Hu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

Good job, Old Zhu.

Your IQ has increased!

Mr. Hu worked in sales in his previous life, how could he not understand such simple words of speech?

To put it bluntly, what about providing a better solution and further increasing your profits? These are all the rhetoric he used to say when he first joined the company to do business in his previous life.

But in the final analysis, aren’t all the rhetoric aimed at selling more products and doing more business?

Master Hu simply laid his cards on the table and said, "Then your majesty, why don't you just speak frankly?"

"What's the condition?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hooked his arm around Mr. Hu's shoulder and chuckled twice again, then said a little embarrassedly.

"It's not a big problem."

"Look, isn't our Liulifang running pretty well?"

"Then can this wine shop do the same?"

"Of course, we didn't put in that much effort on this matter, and there aren't that many places here that require us to put in that much effort."

"How about we take 30%?"

Master Hu turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him, thought for a while and said.

"Thirty percent, that's not impossible, right?"

"As long as Your Majesty has the name of the Imperial Wine and the documents allowing it to be sold, what's wrong with giving these three ingredients to Your Majesty?"

"But, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about a question?"

"Who are you going to give this gift to in the future?"

When this question came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

He never expected that Mr. Hu would ask such a question.

The first thing he wanted to say was that this property naturally belonged to Zhu Biao.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he hesitated.

wrong!

This matter is different!
The throne can only be given to one person, and it must be the eldest son inheritance system that he insisted on.

This is a customary tradition and also a rule he has set. Only in this way can we avoid conflicts among brothers.

But this industry is different.

He knew what Master Hu meant.

The Hu family vowed to keep this property as a legacy.

Then these three components can't be passed around randomly, otherwise it will become a mess, right?

But whether this inheritance should be passed on to Zhu Biao or distributed to all his descendants, there are too many things to consider.

Because this is actually not just about this industry anymore, what about the other industries behind it?

Others, especially his other sons, are all looking at him! (End of this chapter)
