The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 11
After the banquet, the guests dispersed.

Princess Xingping suddenly called Cao Jue to the bedroom. Although her status is noble, Cao Jue is also a descendant of a famous family. Therefore, although their husband and wife are not superior to women, they also have deep feelings, unlike Princess Ruyi and Liu Wei.

Cao Jue was a little surprised when he saw the princess called himself to the room, but he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Princess, today's guests brought a lot of good things, the concubine will take you to have a look?"

Princess Xingping frowned slightly, and said: "My princess asked you, where did the Tanxiang wine you brought back come from?"

"The princess asked what this is for."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, did you get it from Liu Wei's Liu Family Winery?"

Cao Jue was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood: "Don't worry, the princess, brother Liu said, we can take the wine as we please, and he will slowly return the 2 taels of silver to us."

As Cao Jue was speaking, Princess Xingping suddenly twisted Cao Jue's arm: "You don't make progress, you go and tell Concubine Liu, and say that you don't have to pay back the 2 taels of silver. It is counted as a share of our princess' mansion. In the future, we only need to share dividends."

"This...why did the Princess change her mind?" Cao Jue was very excited to hear what Princess Xingping said, but he still asked.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Princess Xingping's mouth, and she pulled Cao Jue to sit down on the bedside: "I said, my son-in-law, you are not a fake stupid, you are really stupid, you also saw how the wine reacted today, With this momentum, there is no problem at all for the Liu Family Winery to be revived, if the Liu Family Winery can be revived, how can the profit be a mere 2 taels of silver?"

Cao Jue gave the silver to Liu Wei purely because the two had a good relationship, and he didn't think much about it. Now that he was awakened by Princess Xingping's words, he suddenly came to his senses and said: "The princess is still thoughtful, It is my good fortune to marry you."

After leaving Princess Xingping's Mansion, Liu Wei still remained calm. Princess Ruyi sat opposite Liu Wei, and smiled lightly, "Is your son-in-law very happy today?"

Liu Wei glanced at Princess Ruyi, and said, "Why did Princess Ruyi say that?"

"Isn't Tanxiang wine made by your Liu family winery?"

Liu Wei had already seen that Princess Ruyi understood everything, so she didn't continue to pretend, and nodded: "Yes, the Tanxiang wine is indeed made by the Liu family winery. If the princess wants to drink it, I will order Liu Shuyun's mansion to drink it. Some."

Princess Ruyi didn't expect Liu Wei to be so flattered or humiliated. She could see the reaction of Tanxiang wine today. I'm afraid that after today, the whole capital will know the reputation of Tanxiang wine. It's not that the money is coming in, but the revitalization of the Liu family winery is not a problem at all. It's really not easy for Liu Wei to be so calm about such a happy event.

"Tanxiang wine is really good, let Liu Quan send a few jars, it doesn't need to be too much, I don't usually drink it." Speaking of this, Princess Ruyi suddenly smiled indifferently: "You asked Cao Jue to help make Tanxiang wine famous, In addition to opening up sales, do you also want to stimulate Princess Xingping?"

Liu Wei was originally very calm, but suddenly he was taken aback when he heard Princess Ruyi's words. He didn't expect that his princess seemed peaceful and approachable, but his character was very resolute, and he was scheming. , is a little unfathomable feeling.

"The princess sees it thoroughly. Although the Liu Family Winery is established now, the 2 taels of silver will not be paid back in a while. In this case, it is better to let the princess of Xingping be willing to buy shares."

Princess Ruyi saw that she had guessed right, and she couldn't help jumping up in her heart again. She found that since her son-in-law lost his memory, she did things very differently from before, and it became more and more difficult for her to see through.

"Although Tanxiang wine is famous now, it is not easy to let the nobles in the capital rush to buy it. After all, everyone knows that the wine is made by your Liu family winery?"

"The princess can rest assured. After today, everyone in the capital will know that Tanxiang wine is only sold in Qin's restaurant, and it cannot be bought anywhere else."

Princess Ruyi knew about Qin's Restaurant. Before Liu Wei got drunk, she found him many times in Qin's Restaurant.

"You want to manipulate from behind?"

"It's only temporary. Although the reputation of Tanxiang Wine has been revealed, it has not yet reached the level in my mind. If this is the case, it is fine to let customers talk about it for a while."

Liu Wei was a business genius in his previous life. He knew very well that things like wine, no matter how good they are, but if they are too much, not only will their reputation not be maximized, but their profits will also not be maximized. So he decided to try marketing on a hunger basis. Qin's restaurant only bought a hundred jars of wine, so within a month, Tanxiang wine must become something sought after by the nobles in the capital.

At that time, if it is spread that Tanxiang Wine is made by Liujia Winery, then all major restaurants and inns will flock to it. Only then will it be the time to really make money.

Princess Ruyi doesn't understand hunger marketing, but she understands that the less you have, the more people will chase after you. After understanding, she couldn't help but take another look at Liu Wei.

Jin Wangfu.

Although Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi is the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, because of his status as Jin Wang, he does not usually live in Kaifeng Mansion. At this time, Jin Wang is in his study, with a jar of wine on the desk, the wine is open, The whole thing has a faint aroma of wine.

"Mr. Su, it seems that we have underestimated Liu Wei. He can produce new ideas in wine making."

Sitting next to the study was a middle-aged man, who was Jin Wang's counselor, Su Another Kan. Su Another Kan took a shallow drink and said, "This Tanxiang wine has a mellow and long-lasting fragrance. After drinking, it will leave a fragrant aftertaste on your lips and teeth, and you will have an endless aftertaste. It is a rare good wine."

Su Tongkan only commented on wine but not on people, but King Jin already fully understood what he meant to him.

"From Mr. Su's point of view, how to subdue this person?"

Su Tongkan smiled indifferently: "This person is very good at doing business. In just a few days, everyone in the entire capital has already known about Tanxiang wine. The people who line up to buy wine at Qin's restaurant every day can be compared to those who line up on the street. At the end of the street, in a few days, many people will know that this Tanxiang Wine comes from the Liu Family Winery!"

Speaking of this, Su changed the subject and said, "As for how to subdue it, it's a simple matter, just wait."

"Wait? What do you mean?"

"Wait for the opportunity, wait for him to see the sincerity of the prince, and wait for him to see the strength of the prince. Such a person is a smart person. He can understand the saying that a man who understands current affairs is a hero."

King Jin frowned slightly after hearing this, wanted to speak, but stopped.

Late at night, Xiangqianli Winery.

Now in the entire capital, the winery is the largest and the best business is Xiangqianli Winery. With their strong strength and high-quality alcohol, they have brought down many wineries in the capital in just one or two years. Among them Including Willow Winery.

Xiangqianli's owner is surnamed Huo Mingcheng. He is a slightly fat man in his 40s. He is very experienced in business. Therefore, when Tanxiang wine spread all over the capital, he was already aware of the crisis.

But now, in order to deal with this crisis, he is waiting for someone.

At the end of summer, the singing of cicadas has become rare, and the occasional wind is also full of tiredness.

At this time, three croaking sounds suddenly came from outside Huo Cheng's window. After hearing the sound, Huo Cheng suddenly sat up from the chair, the door creaked open, and a man in black entered the room in a flash.

After the man in black appeared, Huo Cheng suddenly saluted the man: "I've seen Xiang Zuoshi."

The man in black nodded slightly: "Excuse me."

Huo Cheng asked the man in black to sit down, and said, "I don't know if Xiang Zuo has heard the news?"

The man in black nodded and said: "Qin's restaurant's Tanxiang wine is imported from Liu's winery. I have tasted this wine. Compared with your Xiangqianli winery's Qianlixiang wine, it is not detrimental. The suzerain has ordered it to Use the old strategy to deal with the Liu family winery, first use low prices to suppress them severely, if there is no progress, then..." The man in black said, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

The corners of Huo Cheng's brows condensed slightly, and then he responded again and again: "Relax Xiangzuo, my subordinates understand what to do, and please speak kindly to the suzerain."

The man in black chuckled twice: "You have done a good job, and the suzerain will naturally miss you."

Saying that, the man in black pushed the door out and quickly disappeared into the night.

Since Princess Xingping's birthday on June [-]th, everyone in the capital knew the taste of Tanxiang wine.

There are countless people who go to Qin's Restaurant to buy wine every day and ask where the wine comes from. Qin Yun was entrusted by Liu Wei, so naturally he would not tell.

Qin's restaurant, which was usually deserted, is now crowded with people rushing to buy it every morning.

Qin Yun was very excited about this. The business of the Qin's restaurant was good, and she naturally made a lot of money, but she couldn't understand why Liu Wei only allowed her to sell one hundred jars of such good wine every day. , and you are not allowed to say the name of the Liu family winery?
But when Tanxiang Wine was selling well, Xiangqianli Winery started to cut the price. It used to be [-] cents per liter of wine, but now it has become [-] cents per liter. It can be described as a rare opportunity.

It's just that he lowered the price here, how should the business of Qin's restaurant be better or better, here only sell a hundred jars a day, and the wine is good, so it's because other wines are cheap, so others won't buy them?

It seems that Tanxiang Wine is not prepared to compete with Qianlixiang Wine at all. Xiangqianli Winery's sudden price cut not only did not pose a threat to Qin's Restaurant and Liujia Winery, but also caused a lot of losses to its own winery.

When Huo Cheng realized this, Xiangqianli Winery had already sold a lot of wine.

Huo Cheng was very indignant, and in the end he had to raise the price of the wine again. Although doing so made people feel like they were waiting for the price, Huo Cheng couldn't care less about it at this time.

And just when Huo Cheng raised the price, everyone in the capital knew that Tanxiang wine came from the Liu Family Winery.
