Chapter 249 Sugar and Marketing Plan
Wantong saw Wu Youwei waiting for him after taking a shower.
"I'll give you a chance to get rich!" Wu Youwei asked him triumphantly, "How is it?"
"You have given me a chance." Wantong said with a smile, "Did you forget about the hot pot restaurant?"
Tokugawa hot pot restaurants have already made people crazy in Beijing.
In just two months, there is almost a queue at the door.
And the overseas building is even more so, because Wu Youwei crazyly set a relatively affordable price for the overseas building, which is affordable for everyone, and the threshold is also low, and there are special takeaways that can be delivered to your door.
Tokugawa hot pot restaurants and overseas buildings have become the most lively topic in Beijing this winter, and the daily money is endless.
"The hot pot restaurant and the building in the middle of the building are small money." Wu Youwei handed the sugar recipe to Wantong: "This is a lot of money."
I finished writing the recipe for sugar making before and didn’t give it out in a hurry because the timing was wrong. Now it’s different. Isn’t the emperor short of money...
Wantong took the prescription and looked at it for a long time, then asked doubtfully, "Can this candy really be as white as snow?"
"Of course!" Wu Youwei said, "That's why it's called white sugar. The current sugar is all sucrose, and with a little processing, it can be turned into white sugar!"
You must know that now Daming’s sugar is not only eaten by itself, but also exported. Japan, North Korea and other neighboring countries of Ming Dynasty basically import tea, silk, porcelain, sugar, etc. from Daming.
And Daming imported spices, wood, medicinal materials and other things from them.
"This prescription....?" Wantong said uncertainly, "Your master gave it again?"
"Yeah." Anyway, Master is a brick, and he can move it wherever he needs it.
Wu Youwei nodded without hesitation.
"What your master gave you, you gave me... In fact, it was given to the emperor, dedicated to the court, will they not be happy?" Generally, such a prescription, who doesn't hide it? yes?
"Give it to me and it's mine." Wu Youwei said, "I can do whatever I want."
"Why?" Wantong patted his head: "Isn't it good to leave something for your own children?"
"I understand." Wu Youwei said: "Three points are smart, three points are stupid, and three points are left for the children and grandchildren.
"I thought you didn't understand!" Wantong still remembered that Wu Youwei had a son.
Although Wu Mingde is not Wu Youwei's biological son, morally speaking, he is. Because the little guy became Wu Youwei's son, Wu Youwei often took him out to play, and he knew Wantong. How dare you touch Wantong's Xiuchun Knife boldly.
Very brave at such a young age!
"My master gave me a lot of things, and I don't care about that." Wu Youwei said, "Of course there is something for the children and grandchildren. Only when there is a country can there be a family, and when there is a Ming Dynasty, there is me. The emperor just It’s just that there is no money, his vision is long-term, isn’t it money? Let’s figure out a way together, and we will always earn enough money to support the special camp!”
Big deal, he still has a glass prescription!
With the unique secret recipe as confidence, earning the money of the whole world, and letting the whole world support a special camp, it will definitely be enough!
There is also cement, which is also an artifact of making money.
Go through the four laws: soap, glass, cement, sugar and salt, and you will definitely make money!
Of course, there are also four laws: the army, schools, war and hot weapons, these four must be super costly....
If he wanted to put his old-age provisions in the army and win the hearts of the emperor for the emperor, he also needed a large sum of money as a foundation to have room for maneuver.
Think about it, in fact, he has not accomplished anything in Daming these years!
"Is it because of me?" Wantong suddenly thought of something: "That's why you don't hesitate to take out such a precious thing?"
In Wantong's view, such a recipe is enough to pass on to the family, but Wu Youwei contributed it, not just one, but many more, each of which is enough for Wu Youwei to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.
"That's not true!" Wu Youwei denied: "I don't want my master Sun Qi's unique knowledge to be lost. I want the special battalion to be rebuilt, and I want everyone to know how powerful the special forces are!"
But Wantong stubbornly thought that he was doing it for him, and was so moved that he didn't want to offer the prescription, but Wu Youwei told him that if he didn't offer it, what would he do with it?Just for Wantong's move?
So Wantong was too enthusiastic at night, and was almost kicked out by Wu Youwei!
The next day, after taking care of Wu Youwei for a long time, I realized that Wu Youwei was still so... alive and kicking.
After so many times, Wantong can't help doubting his ability...
Wantong spent the [-]th day at Moling Villa, and on the [-]th, the people from Moling Villa returned to the villa, and Wantong brought people back to the capital on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.
Then he entered the palace.
After talking to Emperor Xianzong for half a day, he went to the palace to meet Wan Zhen'er and the eldest princess.
Wan Zhen'er's belly has risen, it's not big but it's really pregnant. Every day when Emperor Xianzong comes over, he looks at his belly and loves it.
"Sister, is Concubine Bai still calm down?" What Wantong fears most is that Bai Xianger will make trouble with his sister.
"It's calming down." Wan Zhen'er said with a smile: "Since she......, we don't see each other now, even the greetings are staggered, and there are still a few nobles in the palace. "
"Not meeting?" Wantong raised his eyebrows: "This is a good thing!"
"It's the old mother who said that the king will not see the king." Wan Zhen'er said with a smile: "Actually, I just don't want Concubine Bai to appear in front of us, so as not to embarrass her."
It is indeed embarrassing to go out with such a pregnancy reaction.
"That's what she deserves." Wantong also smiled: "Is my eldest nephew good these days?"
"Be good!" Wan Zhen'er rubbed her belly, "It's just that Empress Dowager Qian's place may not be very good. Recently, the imperial physician has frequently been in and out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and there are always soups and medicines every day. We will not let you in when we go to ask for peace. I was afraid that pregnant women would get smoked, so we avoided our greetings. Just kowtow at the gate of the Compassion Palace on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year.
"What's the attitude of the emperor?" He followed the emperor when he was on duty, and he never saw the emperor went to the Palace of Compassion.
"My lord...in my heart I still complain about the Palace of Compassion and Ninggong... Let's not talk about Concubine Bai, those princes and daughters who are gone, make my lord sad." Wan Zhen'er sighed: " But I know that Empress Dowager Qian didn't do it on purpose. She just thought that Concubine Bai looked good. If she had known that Concubine Bai was such a person, Empress Dowager Qian would never...won't help her. This child is also a grandchild of the Empress Dowager."
To be honest, there are not many women in the palace who are like Concubine Bai. Those of high birth are naturally reserved, and the emperor doesn't like that; Pet, but has no power at all.Wan Zhen'er is still a concubine with the title of imperial concubine but no power in the palace.
Bai Xianger was beautiful, and she was the first emperor's favorite woman. She was born high enough, and the emperor also liked her. Naturally, Empress Dowager Qian valued her a little more, especially after Wu Qianer was abolished, she hoped that Bai Xianger could win her over some.
In the end, Bai Xiang'er stabbed her in the back, killing seven princes.female....
But the fault has already been made, and it is irreparable, let alone retrieved. The hatred of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the resentment of the emperor, and the wailing of the biological mothers of the princes and daughters are like a steel knife slashing at the heart of the Empress Dowager Qian.
"Elder Sister, it's up to the emperor to handle this kind of thing!" Wantong knew what Wan Zhen'er meant, and wanted him to find a way to ease the relationship between mother and child, even though they were not biological mother and child.
However, Wantong changed his position and thought about it. If he were the emperor, he would definitely not be able to forgive the Empress Dowager Qian, and would think radically: After all, he is not his own mother!
This made it impossible for the emperor to forgive the Queen Mother Qian.
"I know." Wan Zhen'er nodded and explained: "I didn't ask you to do anything, just to see how the emperor is feeling recently? You spend a lot of time in front of the emperor, so don't provoke the emperor."
She was just nagging, her younger brother knew that he never cared about the affairs of the harem, and at the same time, the emperor loved the Wan family the most, he only cared about himself as the elder sister, not for anything.
Although Wantong didn't answer Wan Zhen'er's topic, he also mentioned the empress dowagers of the two palaces in a timely manner when he was in front of the imperial court.
The main reason is that white sugar has a bright future at first glance, so the emperor can't monopolize it alone.
The so-called "the king of hell is easy to see, but the little devil is hard to offend"!
"You mean, you want to win over your relatives?" Emperor Xianzong heard Wantong's meaning, and wanted to bring his relatives with him.
"My lord, you are a relative of the emperor." Wan Tongdao: "The clan is also your help.
At least in the court of the Ming Dynasty, the clan had a certain influence, for example, when it came to the establishment of the empress and the establishment of the crown prince, they could still speak.
"White sugar is no good." Emperor Xianzong shook his head: "I would rather win over nobles than the clan. Shang Ming has already sold a lot of seeds to the clan, so I won't distribute the sugar to them."
Wantong thought for a while: "The production can be regardless of production, but when the white sugar is produced, you can...at a cheaper wholesale price and give it to them.
Emperor Xianzong was stunned: "Ah???"
"When the time comes, the business of white sugar will probably have to be regulated." Wantong took out the plan written by Wu Youwei and gave it to Emperor Xianzong: "This was written by Youwei, and I think it is very reasonable.
Emperor Xianzong opened it and couldn't help but keep reading.
Wu Youwei's marketing design is very simple. There are seven north and sixty-one provinces in Ming Dynasty, and each province has a general distributor. The price of white sugar is the price of a first-level distributor. The general distributor must be a member of the imperial court. Those who have status and status, cannot be ruled by others, and have prestige in the local area, the emperor's relatives are the best, followed by guarding eunuchs; there are several dealers under them, that is, each big business, big business, must have both moral character , a strong family...
In fact, it is regarded as a common marketing strategy in later generations, but it is not in Daming!
White sugar also has another function, which is export. For this area, Wu Youwei suggested setting up a special official management, so that white sugar, like salt, can be sold outside the customs and exchanged for horses, furs, medicinal materials, etc.
More importantly, it can be used to reward diplomatic missions from various countries. They must have never seen sugar as white as snow.
And white sugar is just one kind, and there are various sugars attached thereafter.
Toffee, sugar cubes, sugar paste, sugar...
White sugar melts in water and disappears without trace...
"He... wrote it?" Emperor Xianzong's eyes lit up after reading it. If this is the case, can other products be marketed like this?
But other commodities don't seem to work, because they are crops...
"En." Wantong nodded.
"If he will take the test next year, how about I arrange him in the household department?" Emperor Xianzong really became more and more curious about Wu Youwei.
Talent!
No, weirdo
Basically, he alone has the final say on the business. The requirements for supply and the rules of the house are well-organized.
If he didn't know Maid Wu's background, he would have thought that Maid Wu was an old profiteer!
"My lord, even if he passes the exam, he still has to earn qualifications in the Imperial Academy." Wantong quickly dispelled Emperor Xianzong's idea: "When he survives, he will have to be an official for three to six years." The year is uncertain. After returning to Beijing, the performance evaluation is excellent, so you can enter the Sixth Department. Good money bag of the imperial court, then you may have to wait another ten or eight years..."
"How much more..." Emperor Xianzong was very frustrated.
...Maybe there will be more...." Wantong gave an example: "Look at the old Shanglu Shangge. "
Emperor Xianzong frowned: "I will never let him stay until the old age of the Shang Pavilion to join the cabinet. How can the talents I value be wasted years?"
Wantong said very disrespectfully: "Then you can't encourage the growth of the seedlings!"
