Why did Li Yun make tea?

Because he knew that this thing was guaranteed to make money, and it was the kind of money-grabbing type of money...

Tea and silk are even more profitable than salt and iron!

...

Tea was a symbol of aristocratic power during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was still exclusive to the literati and officials during the Jin dynasties. It was not until the Sui dynasty that the people gradually could taste it.

But what I drank in this era was not brewing tea, but tea cooked like soup. The tea leaves were not the kind seen in later generations, but were pounded into a ball and made into black tea bricks.

When making tea, you also need to add various seasonings, such as salt, sesame oil, and spices, like a hodgepodge. Only later generations could not have imagined it, and no ancient people could not do it. If you were lucky enough to travel through the Tang Dynasty and still have two dollars in your pocket to drink tea and pretend to be a pussy, congratulations, you will vomit...

It was so unpalatable that it was popular in the Tang Dynasty, from emperors and lords to the people, seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Tea is more popular in the north and the western regions because the staple food of these ethnic groups is meat, and tea can overcome greasyness, and nomadic peoples are simply happy without tea.

Now, Li Yun has made a tea!

...

"Your Highness Zhao, take a photo, hurry up and take a photo, this tea, this tea, this tea is the real treasure..."

A cup of tea was in the entrance, and the trading compound was boiling. Countless people looked at the high platform eagerly, and many Western merchants almost roared.

Merchants are the most sensitive group.

If this tea is transported back to the Western Regions, it can be regarded as gold.

"Everyone wants to make a fortune, right? Very good, then you guys let me make a fortune first..."

Li Yun stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, and took everyone's expressions. After the atmosphere was completely set off, he spoke slowly: "The third treasure is a strange man I was given in my childhood. I will try it out today and named it Youlan Tufang. You really want to buy it, and I really want to sell it, but this tea is complicated in craftsmanship and the annual output will not be too much, so..."

He said this and deliberately spoke up.

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive!"

The merchants were extremely awesome and almost shouted and continued: "The precious is the treasure, the precious is the enjoyment. Your Highness, please do not delay, start shooting, start shooting immediately..."

"good!"

Li Yun focused on the key point. Since the leeks were rushing to get cut, it was a bit unreasonable if he didn't cooperate.

He took out another booklet from his arms, opened it and said loudly: "Youlan Tufang, a total of fifty copies, each of which is about one or two taels, the base price is set at ten coins, and there is no upper limit for each price increase. Let's start bidding now."

After saying this, I thought it would cause a sensation, but the scene suddenly became silent and many people obviously frowned.

Why?

Because there are too few!

There is less tea and less price.

There are 50 servings in total, only one or two taels per serving. Even if they are all bought by one person, the total amount is only five kilograms. The price of order is small, which is surprisingly small. Only one or two tea leaves can be determined by ten jin, which is completely inconsistent with the identity of tea.

Once things go wrong, they will inevitably cause doubts.

After a long time, someone asked and said with a hesitation: "I dare to ask Your Highness Zhao, your tea leaves... are this tea leaves unique?"

This must be asked clearly!

If it is a unique product, then it is only one batch. If it is only one batch, then the bidding price increase needs to be a little more severe.

Li Yun smiled and said lightly: "Although it is not a perfect product, it is not much different. Let me tell you this. This tea produces very little and requires extremely complex craftsmanship. When picking, you must climb the mountain with your unbreakable virginity, then use the tip of your tongue to hold the tea in your mouth, and then, your plain hands are gentle and fragrant..."

He suddenly stopped talking because he was bragging and couldn't make up any more. He could only laugh and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it anymore, you will reveal the secret recipe. In short, remember that the tea yield is very small."

Many people winked at each other.

Li Yun said again: "In addition to the production problem, there are also sales reasons. I have decided that this tea will only be auctioned once. I will write the price of the tea today on the wooden sign of the Lou Pavilion as the guide price for Youlan Tufang. Starting from today, this tea will no longer be auctioned. If you want to buy it in the future, you can only order it according to the price of the wooden sign of the Lou Pavilion. Order may not be available. If you pay the money, you have to wait in line."

Good guy!

The hunger marketing style in later generations.

However, people of this era have not passed by, how can they withstand this impact?

But when a Western Region merchant suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "I'll ask for all 500 pieces of tea each."

Ruthless enough!

It's also greedy.

Li Yunding's reserve price was ten cents, and the merchant directly increased by fifty times.

Five hundred guan per serving, fifty guan is twenty-five thousand guan. This money can buy two or three hundred guan, and even dozens of war horses can buy dozens of horses.

However, Li Yun smiled and apologized to him, "I forgot to say just now that no one can only limit one copy of the film."

The merchant was stunned.

Li Yun continued: "To express my apology and to reward you with the first bid, I am willing to sell you a piece of tea for 500 yuan. Believe me, you have made a big profit..."

Merchants really make a lot of money!

Because in the following tea auction, no one was less than 800 guan, and the higher the further it went, and in the end it even exceeded 1,000 guan per guan.

It sounds like a myth to buy one or two tea leaves for a thousand guan, but the buyers don’t think so, especially the merchants in the Western Regions who spent a lot of money.

These teas are no longer qualified for civilians to enjoy when transported back.

These teas will inevitably lead the trend at the top of the Western Regions.

Think about it!

When a merchant invited a royal nobleman to a banquet, he suddenly took out a thousand jin of tea and brewed it with hot water. The fragrance was swaying. A cup of tea was at least worth dozens of jin. How high is such a banquet?

Whether in ancient times or later generations, people who drink this kind of tea will never have to pay for it themselves. So what if one thousand guan is one liang, even if one guan is one liang, someone dares to buy it.

The higher the price, the more it can cause competition.

...

Fifty servings of tea were sold out in a blink of an eye.

Li Yun took the book to calculate for a long time, looked up and smiled at the audience, and said leisurely: "Youlan Tufang, fifty taels, and a total price of 40,000 guan, each price of 800 guan..."

Speaking of this, he stopped slightly and suddenly waved to the back. Everyone saw a girl floating on the stage, which was the Linglong Princess of the Turks in the grassland.

Linglong held an extremely exquisite small wooden sign in his hand, with four small characters "Youlan Tufang" carved on it. Li Yun picked up the wooden sign and raised it over his head, slowly changing directions and showing it to everyone to watch.

At this time, Linglong took out a golden knife from his arms and engraved the words "800 guan" on the bottom of the wooden sign. Li Yun showed it to everyone again, and then Linglong took the wooden sign and climbed to the wooden pavilion.

This is the first transaction price tag in the world. After Li Yun's countless wrists, it finally brewed. It was hung in the first row of the high walls of the wooden pavilion.

As the sign was hung out, more than a dozen servants appeared. They also held wooden signs one by one in their hands, and they all climbed the ladders to hang the wooden signs.

In a blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen wooden signs on the high wall, each with small characters engraved on it. These were all the names of the goods that participated in today's auction.

Below the name of the goods, the transaction price at that time is engraved. Looking around, you will understand clearly.

Li Yun's voice once again covered the audience, and said leisurely: "Today's auction ends here. Tianzhengxue is coming to the evening. I dare to invite a drink. Friends who come from afar have warm warm pavilions like spring, delicious wine and delicious food, singing and dancing in the trading center. If you don't rush to go back to the inn, don't leave it here and linger, drink a glass of green ant wine, invite three or five good friends, talk about the day and talk about things, how happy it is. If you don't like social engagements and are thinking about business, then you can also climb to the second floor of the wooden pavilion and watch the price of each wooden card. Don't blame me for reminding you that this wooden card will make many people rich in the future..."

In fact, it is not necessary for him to say that many merchants have already swarmed into the wooden pavilion. Merchants are the smartest people. How could they not see the effect of the current price of this wooden brand?

This wooden sign will be a barometer of the prices of goods in the whole world in the future.

For merchants, always paying attention to the wooden signs of the loft will be a compulsory task in the future. Many people have made up their minds to get the legitimate heirs in their families to focus on this matter.

For Li Yun, it was another role. The establishment of the current price of wooden cards was the beginning of his control over the world's business path.

...

Time flies, and half a month is spent. Fanyang Trading Center holds auctions every day, and there are more and more wooden signs on the high walls of the loft.

From the first ten yuan to more than a hundred yuan, it gradually became more than a hundred yuan, and from more than a hundred yuan to more than a thousand yuan.

This incremental speed is very scary and finally it begins to show its power.

When the wooden signs exceed one thousand, no one can stop the development of the attic wooden sign. One thousand wooden signs represent a thousand kinds of goods.

It can reflect the price fluctuations of a thousand kinds of goods at any time, which is a miracle existence in this era.

And as time goes by, the number of wooden signs continues to increase.

There are gradually a group of special people in Fanyang Trading Center.

These people are called card copyists!

They get up early every day, and their eyes are eagerly waiting at the entrance of the Mu Pavilion. Once the Mu Pavilion opens the door, these people rushed in. They all held paper and pen booklets in their hands, staring at the high wall without blinking. Whenever a servant changes the price wooden sign, these people immediately lay on the ground and wrote quickly.

This process will last about an hour.

Then the group of people flocked out again, standing at the door of the trading center with paper and pen in their arms.

Soon, those merchants who participated in the auction appeared.

These card copyists stood proudly, constantly examining the behavior and clothes of merchants. Only those who act generously can be qualified to win their smile.

The next step is to negotiate prices. The merchants spent money to buy the booklets they copied. The booklet records the replacement of the attic wooden signs, which can make the merchants confident about today's business.

To make money at Fanyang Trading Center is a compulsory course that all merchants must go through.

The wooden signs of high walls are already unstoppable.

At this time, Li Yun finally began to show his fangs. He wanted to try the energy of the high wall wooden sign to see if he could really control the business path.
