Chapter 301 Earth Qi Shengling Tea

"Why did you come to the tea garden today?"

Sun Yuyao pulled Wu Tianyuan with a smile, and the two of them started climbing the mountain early in the morning to pick tea leaves in their tea garden.

"Can't we go out for a vacation?" Wu Tianyuan looked at Sun Yuyao's persuasive gaze, finally lost the battle, and explained: "Porcelain is basically on the right track, and the rest is for Lao Tang to study how to improve the quality of antiques. What's the matter with me? I'm still idle, let's see what's going on with the tea leaves?"

"Tea?" Sun Yuyao asked curiously, "Tianyuantang still makes tea?"

"Why not?" Wu Tianyuan took a deep breath of the cool mountain air, and said refreshedly, "Who said that Tianyuantang only produces porcelain? There will be more products in the future!"

"Liu Huasheng has successfully retreated. I heard that he broke through the bottleneck and successfully improved the level of tea ceremony. I will go to Japan in a few days to see him and that little girl Liu Meizi. They are the stars of the next step."

"So you want to see the tea leaves?"

"Well, the tea ceremony originated in China thousands of years ago, but in the past few decades, Japan has formed an industrial chain and created many high-end brands."

Wu Tianyuan said indignantly: "In fact, the raw materials are imported from China at low prices, but they are repackaged and exported in Japan, and the profit has doubled dozens of times! How can there be such a cheap thing?"

"The next step is to integrate several major domestic tea resources, create a brand effect belonging to Tianyuantang, and break the roots of Little Japan!"

Regarding this point, Wu Tianyuan had already discussed with the Eight Great Vajras of the Tianyuan Society. They were laymen in porcelain and couldn't get involved.However, tea resources are scattered, and each place has its own famous tea because of its different water and soil.There are ten famous teas recognized by the country alone, not counting the niche tea varieties of each region.

"Japan mainly practices matcha and likes green tea. The main imports are West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Tieguanyin and Maojian."

"Europeans like black tea and scented tea, especially scented tea, which is very popular in the circle of noble ladies. Domestic Pu'er and organic scented tea are the most suitable."

Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "Don't underestimate tea, it is a consumer product, with an annual output value of at least tens of billions of dollars. Porcelain is different, one can be used for a lifetime, and it is a large consumer product that has more market."

Sun Yuyao nodded and said, "That's what you say, but the tea market is huge, so it's impossible for us to monopolize it all, right?"

"That's natural! That's why I came to see it for myself. Tianyuantang only takes the high-end route, come with me!"

Without further ado, Wu Tianyuan took Sun Yuyao to climb the mountain and walked into the tea garden. The two of them began to learn tea picking from the workers.

"right here!"

While picking tea, Wu Tianyuan searched for earth energy, walked around and finally found a piece of land with the richest earth energy.Sure enough, it was found that the tea trees here grew the best and produced the highest grade tea.

"It seems that my idea is good. The more earth atmosphere, the better the plant nutrition, and the higher the quality of the finished product."

After verification, Wu Tianyuan has a new idea. He plans to go around the origin of tea, find the soil with the richest earth atmosphere, rent it and transform it into a tea garden, and use the best quality seeds to cultivate the best tea.

Although it may take several years or even ten years, these are also scarce resources. Now one or two top-quality Longjing teas on the market are at least tens of thousands of yuan.The most powerful ones are available in hundreds of thousands, and the supply exceeds demand.

The Japanese are most obsessed with the tea ceremony, which is a national gift, and the master of the tea ceremony has a high status, and even the royal family must be careful to worship it.Liu Huasheng specializes in tea ceremony, and Wu Tianyuan wants to prepare the best ammunition for him.

Wu Tianyuan ordered the workers to take good care of these tea trees, and keep the tea produced each time and hand them over to him.Ma Yun was born in West Lake, and he himself owns manors and tea gardens by the West Lake.

"This is your Jiangnan Club?"

Ma Yun brought Wu Tianyuan to his villa by the West Lake, and introduced with a smile: "White walls and black tiles, sandalwood doors and windows, the seven buildings in my Jiangnan Club are all rebuilt from old ancestral halls and Jiangnan dwellings. , arranged in the order of the Big Dipper."

"The entire renovation process strives to maintain respect for history, retaining all the columns in the house, and the black tiles on the roof are simply repaired. There are conference halls, dining areas, wine areas, guest rooms, etc., covering an area of ​​ten acres."

The two walked into the courtyard, and Ma Yun pointed to the two houses and said, "There are two empty houses here. I haven't decided what they are used for. There is also a courtyard in the middle of the main hall in the largest building. Jiangnan will use it every time. If you want to hold an important party, you can make a fuss in this courtyard, and the courtyard is facing a memorial archway, and there is a low-key connotation everywhere. I can’t tell the age from the past to the present.”

Wu Tianyuan looked around, there was an antique red sandalwood case in the living room, with a half-rolled painting on it, antique utensils of various ages can be seen everywhere on the cabinet next to the sofa, and a guzheng was quietly placed behind the sofa.

The house is very high, there are stairs in the middle, and the general dining is downstairs.Sitting on the sofa in the lobby, I feel that this place is very open, simple but full of charm.I heard that because they all receive important business guests and ensure privacy, they only receive one or two groups of guests every day.

"A hundred years ago, the commercial road of Hu Xueyan, a red-top businessman, supported the backbone of "business". In 2006, eight Zhejiang merchants, Feng Gensheng, Guo Guangchang, Shen **, Lu Weiding, Song Weiping, Ding Lei, Chen Tianqiao, and me, initiated it. The Jiangnan Association will discuss contemporary business again."

The two of them sat down, Wu Tianyuan took a sip of the excellent Longjing, and Ma Yun said, "You know I like heroes, and I admire the spirit of chivalry the most! So with the spirit of inheriting business, we are determined to make the Jiangnan Society a living museum. .”

"Zhejiang businessmen pay attention to profit and righteousness. Business and brotherhood are two different things. But as long as brothers have troubles, they will immediately draw their swords to help. Zhejiang businessmen continue to follow this law. Jiangnan will always record the big and small things that happen in the business world. After a few years, as long as the descendants enter the Jiangnan Association, they will get positive enlightenment from it, and can get the essence of the century-old commercial culture development from it."

"Jiangnan Club is famous for its rivers and lakes. There are lively rivers and lakes dishes on the dinner table, and there are chivalrous rivers and lakes in the business field. There is a legendary Jianghu order here, which is held by members. If the holder's company has an emergency, show it With this order, the rotating chairman is obliged to hold a martial arts meeting to discuss countermeasures and help members survive the crisis, and members only have one chance to use the token."

"I heard that the threshold for membership fee here is 20. There is a one-year membership assessment period. After the assessment period expires, you will become a lifetime member." Wu Tianyuan joked, "Aren't you going to create a membership for me?"

"Fuck you!" Ma Yun said with a smile: "Our Tianyuan Club is now the number one club in China that is rumored by the outside world! How many people have been begging me to introduce you and want to become a probationary member. Or you can come to the Jiangnan Club next time Join us?"

"No problem, let me know when the time comes. I might as well ask you guys to go to the museum together. If it doesn't work, go to the art center. I went there the day before yesterday. The environment is better. Let's sit together."
