Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 84 It's All Routines
  Jia Cong practiced hard at Wang Jin's place all afternoon, and returned home exhausted. He had a meal under Qingwen's service, took a medicinal bath, changed into pajamas, and saw her with shrewd eyes and a strange look on her face.

"What are you hiding from me?"

Qingwen smiled, pointed at the tent, and said, "Sir, Qianxue is already lying on your bed?"

"Bah, girl Qing is behaving again. I'm warming the bed for you so that you can sleep well later. Now that he's warmed up, you can have a rest." Qian Xue opened the curtain and wanted to get out of bed.

Qingwen hurriedly held her down and said with a smile: "Don't be lazy, come and hold her down."

Qianxue struggled to resist, Qingwen pressed her hard, and the two rolled into a ball.

Jia Cong saw the two of them rolling and playing on the bed, which was so beautiful. He hurriedly ran over, held them down, and said, "Since we are all here, let us all stay and warm the bed for you."

"Master, we agreed that today belongs to Qianxue, and I won't come..." Qingwen wanted to run away, but this time it was Qianxue's turn to hold her.

"I'm Han Xin's commander. The more the better. What's the difference between one and two?"

"Go to sleep." Jia Cong slapped Qian Xuefeng on the buttocks and fell asleep in the middle.

"Master, then you are not allowed to bully me today. If you want to bully, bully Qianxue. She misses you." Qingwen whispered in Jia Cong's ear.

Jia Cong nodded slightly and said, "This is natural. I always deal with justice."

"Bah, that's what you thought. Xiao Lang Hoo, you are getting worse and worse." Qian Xue scolded under the quilt.

Jia Cong reached out and held Qian Xue up.

"Don't be like this, please sleep well." Qian Xue pressed Jia Cong's hand and begged.

Qingwen turned over and pressed Qianxue and said with a sweet smile: "Come quickly."

Jia Cong secretly thought that Qingwen was sensible and rushed down.

It turned out that this was what Qingwen was talking about. Only then did Qianxue understand the tricks the two of them had played last night, but it was too late.

Jia Cong suddenly felt a slightly moist feeling on his fingertips. He was suddenly startled. He straightened up quickly and helped Qian Xue lift up her pants and put them on. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and suppressed his restless heart.

"Master, what's wrong?" Qingwen asked.

Jia Cong closed his eyes for a long time before exhaling and smiling bitterly: "Fairy, I almost broke your gong."

"Sir, it's my fault that the servants are not serving me well." Qianxue pulled her clothes, covered her chest, sat up and whispered in a low voice.

"Go to sleep." Jia Cong hugged the two of them and lay down again, saying: "You are not allowed to touch your lower body in the future, do you understand? Now I want to practice boy skills. If you break my body, you will have to take a detour."

"Obviously it was me who wanted to cause trouble, but I relied on others." Qingwen wrinkled her elegant nose and said angrily.

Qianxue also nodded shyly: "If I don't act recklessly, how can people... break my body and think that we are shameless prostitutes?"

Jia Cong smiled dryly and said, "I'm afraid that I can't control myself, so I asked you to help me take care of it."

"Then let me go out to sleep, so as not to harm me." Qianxue said, Qingwen nodded in agreement.

Jia Cong hurriedly hugged the two of them: "Sleeping is sleeping, breaking is breaking, how can the two things be confused? You haven't read the book, I will tell you some truth..."

I don't know what Jia Cong said. The three of them laughed and laughed for a while before falling asleep quietly.

  A few months later, the shopkeepers arranged by Uncle Chen's family and the Xue family, as well as Yan Fei and Boss Qian, came to report that everything had been compromised and asked when work would start.

Jia Cong said to the top managers: "Now I don't have time to run and take care of it, so I leave it to you all."

Everyone was humble.

"I have a few ideas. You all have been in the business world for a long time, so you must have thought of them, so let's discuss them.

First, there are only two types of wine released in the first batch. One is a wine for men, which is about 40 degrees. Well, assuming that ordinary wine is 15 degrees, you can control the strength yourself; the other is a wine for my daughter’s family, which is about 20 degrees. To make it into fruit wine or flower wine, it will go down your throat easily. Depending on the sales situation, we will gradually add categories. Secondly, I entrusted the two princes to present these two kinds of wine, and I asked the emperor and the empress to give me the honor of naming them after trying them. I am sure, this is the key to making a name for myself..."

Several shopkeepers nodded after hearing this and said with a smile: "What the Third Master said is that with the name given by the Emperor and Empress, wouldn't the rich families in the capital and the world flock to him?"

"Thirdly, our wine needs to be made into a luxury product, do you understand? It's not expensive in quantity but expensive in essence. Instead of using your brains on the bitterness, it's better to directly target the wealthy households in the world.

After it becomes famous and recognized by the public, it can then slowly develop downwards and take care of the general public. Therefore, the price cannot be lowered. If it is lower, it will be out of style and not up to the grade. How to sell wine on the market today? "

"Good wine, such as Jinhua wine, Huiquan wine, etc., costs about 200 Wen per catty, and ordinary village wine ranges from 10 to 20 Wen to 30 or 50 Wen, depending on how much water is added." Everyone hurriedly replied. .

Jia Cong nodded and said, "That's right. Our wine starts at 2 taels of silver per catty. No counter-offering. Buy as much as you like. This is wine that is consumed by emperors and empresses. It would be disrespectful to sell it cheaply."

"Isn't this too expensive?" one person said.

"Those who can afford the money don't care if you sell it for twenty taels. Those who can't afford the money think it's expensive if you sell it for one tael. We are the only ones in the world. If we can't afford it, we will eat bad wine. Go." Another shopkeeper hurriedly retorted.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "That's the reason. Start the business of wealthy people. These people only care about dignity and don't care about money."

"Third Master knows people's hearts well and is familiar with business. I admire him." Everyone was busy flattering him.

Jia Cong waved his hand and smiled secretly in his heart, I know nothing, I just copied it.

"Fourth, package it well. I see that most of the wine on the market is packed in ordinary jars and jars. How to sell this kind of bulk wine at a price? In the future, I will make exquisite ceramics of one kilogram, two kilograms, or five kilograms. Bottles or glass bottles are used to hold the wine, with calligraphy and paintings by famous artists on them, and a beautiful box on the outside, so that people will feel that this thing is valuable at a glance. "

"Third Master, please contact the Ru Kiln, Ding Kiln and other official kilns to make exquisite porcelain vases for us, ensuring that each piece is exquisite."

"Young man can hire the best craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the private sector to make this bottling box for us."

Jia Cong nodded, the collusion between officials and businessmen is easy to do, and said: "The last point is to become famous! As the saying goes, the fragrance of wine is afraid of the depth of the alley. With the name given by the emperor and empress, the wine must first establish a foothold in Shenjing. When the time comes, All major brothels, restaurants, major nobles, clansmen's residences, and officials' families can give a small amount of it to them so that they can have a taste.

In addition, all major businessmen and celebrities in Beijing gave some gifts and spent some money to let them praise us. "

“You can also play some drinking games in crowded places on the street to attract people. For example, you can drink three large bowls for ten taels of silver, and those who don’t get drunk can be rewarded with hundreds of gold or thousands of gold.

Also, it’s best to ask the uncle of the country to work with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to designate this wine as a special wine for state banquets. From now on, we can call it the national wine. Hahaha, by then, although there will be many famous wines in the world, who will dare to compete with them? Competing? "

"There must also be hunger marketing. Well, it must not be sold openly. It must be sold slowly, like milking a cow, so that wine buyers can grab it. In short, it is to let the drinkers know that this wine is rare, not It’s shit from the streets!”

"So, how can we make more money?" a shopkeeper asked suspiciously.

"Don't you know how to increase the price? If the supply exceeds the demand, you can increase the price openly. If you want to buy the wine at the original price, just wait in line." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"Also, we need to establish a membership system. Send wine purchase brands to major restaurants and brothels in Beijing, as well as clansmen, nobles, gentry and officials. Each brand is numbered and the monthly purchase quantity is limited."

"If a certain family uses up its quota..."

"Then let's sell him some quota. It's not expensive. We can sell it for one tael of silver for five kilograms. It's not too much, right?" Jia Cong said with a sly smile.

Several shopkeepers seemed to have been opened to a new world. They never thought that the amount of money they spent on wine could be sold. Isn't this a waste of money? Give money to buy quota first, and then pay to buy wine... The third master is too dark-hearted.

Jia Cong took a sip of tea and said: "That's what it means. In a word, this wine can be sold as expensive as it is sold, the appetite can be as high as the appetite, and the name can be blown as loud as possible. , let everyone know that this wine is not for ordinary people, eating this wine is a sign of status and dignity, and if you don’t eat it, you will lose your status.”

Several shopkeepers looked at each other in shock. Third Master Cong's routine was too deep. They all sighed in admiration: "We will follow Third Master's instructions. Third Master is wise!"

"Forget about gossiping, you go and make preparations separately. Those who should purchase raw wine, arrange the store, prepare wine, mix wine, and manage the important factory buildings should all take care of it. If you don't have enough capital, just ask Mr. Guojiu. Ask Uncle Xue, don't bother me, I'm just waiting to collect the money."

"Yes, the villain retire."
