Faced with this scene, the three people from the Changsun family lowered their heads at the same time. This is a matter between you uncle and nephew. We are just witnesses. If you don’t give it, then it will be our turn to speak.
"Look at your petty stinginess. Can Second Uncle still rely on you for your things? Take it away, take it away."
When Li Tai said this, he was crying in his heart. This thing is also very valuable. At least it can be exchanged for a few big houses in Chang'an City. And you are asked to take it away?
"How much wine do you have left? Give me some more. It's so delicious! If this were brought to the military camp, I wonder how many people would die of greed."
Chang Sun Chong said happily that everyone in the military camp liked to eat meat and drink wine in big mouthfuls, but after drinking this wine, all other wines would taste bland.
When Changsun Wuji and Changsun Pingting heard about this wine, they pricked up their ears. The Changsun family controlled one-third of the wine market in Chang'an City. If this kind of wine were put on the market, the father and daughter could imagine that other liquors would have no chance of winning.
"Uncle, you think this is water from the well. You can have as much as you want. I spent a lot of effort to get two jars out. One is for my uncle, and the other is for my grandfather."
Li Xiang said with a bitter face, and the people present felt that it was true. If such fine wine were to be sold everywhere, it would be impossible. Take the Chang'an Tai sold by the Changsun family as an example. The annual output is only about two to three hundred kilograms, but compared with this wine, Changsun Wuji couldn't drink a single sip.
"Then you said you wanted to share the bonus with me. Are you trying to please your aunt?"
Changsun Pingting said tentatively that their family specialized in liquor, so they naturally knew how much profit there was, and the higher-end the liquor, the more money they made.
Already on the road...
Li Xiang is not afraid that you are interested, but he is most afraid that you are not interested. As long as you are interested, your Changsun family will be tied to our chariot. Of course, a bottle of liquor cannot make you change your family strategy, but this is a good start after all. Next, big traps will be trapped in small traps, old traps will be trapped in new traps. I don't believe that your Changsun family can get out.
"How is this possible? Since I've already promised my cousin, I'll naturally speed up the brewing process after I return. However, my nephew has been staying in the palace and has no sales channels outside..."
Having said that, everyone present understood, and the most nervous person was naturally Li Tai.
The happiest people were the three people from the Changsun family.
Li Tai also understood that there are no eternal friends but there are eternal interests. If he uses this kind of liquor to trap the Changsun family, then his position as the eldest brother will definitely be unchangeable.
"uncle……"
Li Tai wanted to speak up to stop them, but he didn't know where to start. Do you want to stop the Changsun family from making money?
"Erlang, come and have a drink with your uncle."
Changsun Wuji also picked up the wine glass, and then gave Changsun Pingting a look, "I'll hold Li Erlang here, you'd better settle something important with your cousin."
As for Chang Sun Chong, he was already sleeping on the table. He had never drunk such high-proof liquor before. Now that he had drunk six taels of liquor, it would be a miracle if he could still stay awake. What's more, this kid had drunk a lot of original Chang'an liquor before.
"My aunt's family does have a sales channel, but I'm not sure how much you'll charge for this liquor."
After receiving her father's gaze, Changsun Pingting immediately entered into substantive negotiations. Although the status of merchants was not high in that era, all the big families in Chang'an City were involved in business. Moreover, the commercial profits of such liquor must be astonishing. If they did not quickly reach an agreement, the people in the Changsun family would not be able to sleep.
In Chang'an City, wine has always been a luxury. The cheapest wine costs five coins per catty, which means fifteen catties of rice are exchanged for one catty of wine. As for the most expensive Chang'an Tai, it costs two thousand coins per catty. Except for the top wealthy people, other people can't afford it at all.
"What does Aunt think?"
Li Xiang had a price in mind, but he didn't know much about this era, so it was not convenient for him to say it out loud. It would be better to listen to the professionals.
Changsun Pingting stretched out four fingers as thin as scallions, which represented four strings of coins, or four taels of silver.
"Five taels of silver rounded up to a hundred catties a day."
Li Xiang slammed the table and set the price for this kind of liquor. Changsun Pingting thought to herself that there should be no problem. Every year when Chang'an Tai came out, it was snapped up all over Chang'an City. This liquor was much better than Chang'an Tai, so naturally many top young masters would buy it. What needed to be discussed next was the distribution of profits.
"What about my aunt's pollen silver?"
Changsun Pingting felt a little embarrassed when she said this. After all, Li Xiang was her junior, and it was really hard for an aunt to compete with her nephew for profit. But if she didn't say it, it would be even more inappropriate for Changsun Wuji.
Li Tai's mind was in a daze. Although he was still holding the wine glass and drinking with Changsun Wuji, he had already started to do the math. One hundred catties a day, five taels of silver for one catty, that would be five hundred taels of silver a day, and fifteen thousand taels of silver a month.
Li Tai's breathing became a little nervous. Everyone knows that money is a man's courage, and this is also true in the upper class. If a person has money, then everything he does will come naturally.
In the past, because the eldest brother had a big hole and could not win the hearts of the people, the officials of the Eastern Palace were scattered. But if there were 15,000 taels of silver this month, it would undoubtedly be a shot of adrenaline for the Eastern Palace.
"make a deal."
When Li Tai understood what was happening, he happened to see Li Xiang and Changsun Pingting high-fiving each other to sign an alliance.
According to the rules of the wine shop, a 10% commission was required for selling other people's wine. Li Xiang directly gave 15%, and said that the extra 5% of profit was for Zhangsun Pingting's cosmetics, which made the beautiful aunt very happy.
As for Changsun Wuji, he had no objection. No matter who the money was given to, as long as the extra 5% profit went to the Changsun family, it was fine.
Seventy-five strings of cash a day...
Although the Changsun family has many industries, none of them makes this much money. Take the salt mine in the west of the city for example. It is a gold mine, and Changsun Wuji had to sacrifice his reputation to get it. But the daily profit is only 30 strings of cash, which is simply unimaginable.
Of course, Changsun Wuji was very familiar with the rules. This old fox kept silent about the raw materials and preparation methods of white wine. He got the money he deserved and didn't care about other people's affairs. This was also one of the reasons why the Changsun family was able to survive during the Zhenguan period, that is, they were not greedy.
