Mingmen Family

Chapter 254 Brainwashing
Ye Chongming was taken aback for a moment: "So fast?" Then he resisted with all his heart.

But no matter how much he resisted, he also knew that his granddaughter was 17 years old and it was time to get married.Even if the date is December, they still have to get married.He couldn't stop it at all.

He said: "Three months, although the time is tight, it is enough to prepare the dowry."

Although he and Mrs. Ye intend to buy a generous dowry for Ye Yaming, the bowl of water should be balanced.Tao Shi was originally full of resentment because her husband and son were taken away by Ye Yaming as the head of the family.Now that Ye Yaqing and Ye Yaming are married, but the two elders treat each other more favorably, Tao must be a monster.

Therefore, the dowry given to Ye Yaming by the public is similar to that of Ye Yaqing.When buying it for Ye Yaqing, Mrs. Ye also prepared a copy for Ye Yaming.After all, Ye Yaming is already engaged, her age is also there, marriage is coming soon.

Therefore, time is tight at the moment, so there is no rush.

"You put so much makeup on Qing'er, so you have to take good care of it yourself. There are not many from the office, so you should buy more yourself." Ye Chongming warned.

"Yeah, good." Ye Yaming nodded.

When she came back to Ye Chongming, she said another thing: "Tomorrow, when I meet Mrs. Chen, the main thing is you. The price we paid there was half a silver per catty. If we didn't need to transport it to the border, it would be 450 Wen. "

"During this time, I was making tea with my apprentices on the mountain. I don't know if you have paid attention to the situation there. If this black tea is to be made to the level I give you, that is, ten mature, it has to go through seventy During this period, there must be no mistakes in operation. Once there is a mistake, the tea will be ruined. So although its raw materials are not very good, it takes a lot of effort."

"Seventy days?" Ye Chongming was taken aback.

Watching Ye Yaming making Longjing tea, osmanthus tea and other teas, it is very easy, and the tea can be made in less than half a day.

He never expected that the method of making this black tea is so complicated.

Ye Yaming nodded: "It's not only time-consuming, but also wear-and-tear, so our price must not be lower, and the minimum price should not be lower than 380 Wen."

She once calculated that the cost of this tea was less than [-] Wen, but this was based on the fact that she was a skilled hand and made no mistakes in tea making.When letting an apprentice learn how to make tea, there will be mistakes, and she has to take this into account.

She said that she would not compete with the court for profit, and would not make money from the court on black tea.But the asking price cannot be too low at the beginning.

The human mind is the most complicated.Even if she offered a price of one hundred coins, some people would think that the Ye family made a lot of money and wanted to lower the price even further.So at the beginning, she raised the price a little higher, which also gave the court room to bargain.

Next year or the year after, Chen Zhen will be promoted or transferred, and another official will be in charge of this mess. He will definitely use the lower price of Yejia black tea as his political achievements, showing that he has done a better job than Chen Zhen.

She called the price high at the moment, just to give room for the successor manager to lower the price in the future.

Furthermore, the method of making this dark tea cannot be hidden, and the tea merchants in Lin'an dare not touch it because it is too oily and watery, but the officials and dignitaries in the capital will definitely use their brains to intervene.

Therefore, when the tea making method of black tea can't stand it every other year or two, she will still sell it.The error rate of other people's tea making will be higher, and she has to give others a little room to make money.Lest these people try their best to get the tea recipe, and the tea made is not profitable, and they will become angry and hate the Ye family.

She gave profits to the imperial court, but she didn't make any money herself, so she provoked villains to hold grudges, so why bother?

So the price of this tea can't be too low.

When Ye Chongming heard that he was asked to bargain with Chen Zhen, his scalp tingled.

He said: "Come and talk to him tomorrow. I told him that you are the next head of the family, and you can talk to him about it."

Ye Yaming shook his head, and said solemnly: "Grandfather, if the Holy Majesty didn't marry me and Lu Guanyi, it would be no problem for me to talk to Mr. Chen. But I have already been married, so that is the order of the fourth rank, and Mr. Chen must use it." This reason is to suppress me and let me give money to the court. If I don't agree, it will affect Lu Guanyi's future."

Ye Chongming was stunned: "Ah? Why...why are they so insidious?"

He thought that Lu Guanyi begged for this marriage, and he was very happy and excited——

Marriages given by marriages are generally not easily reconciled, which is a layer of protection for Ye Yaming; in addition, those noble ladies in the capital can no longer ridicule Ye Yaming because she was born in a merchant.After all, the emperor praised Ye Yaming as "both talented and beautiful, respectful and sensitive", and he was a good match with Lu Guanyi.If outsiders say that Ye Yaming is not good enough for Lu Guanyi, isn't it slapping the emperor?
He didn't expect that the imperial court granted this marriage to silence the Ye family.

This really made Ye Chongming not know what to say.

"They have even calculated this. When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it." He said with a sad face.

Ye Yaming gave him an analysis: "Master Chen will definitely say how difficult Lu Guanyi is at the border. If Dajin sells a large amount of low-priced black tea to Dajin, the people of Dajin will not make life difficult because of buying tea. This has played a great role in the stability of the border. So let you focus on the overall situation and don't compete with the court. Since this black tea is leftover old leaves and old stalks used to make Longjing, then you have made a lot of money in Longjing Yes. And the emperor even awarded Longjing as tribute tea. Now that the court needs it, you should do your best for the court and sell it to the court at a low price."

"Even if you say that 380 Wen is the cost price, he may use the price of Longjing to make a fuss, saying that the price of Longjing can be raised, and the price of black tea can be lowered."

The imperial court designated Longjing as a tribute tea, and it also gave money.But Shanggong's Longjing tea is originally a premium tea, how many can there be in total?In comparison, the amount of black tea is much larger.No matter how high the imperial court's price for Longjing tea was, it could not make up for the loss of black tea.

But everyone has said so, you are a small businessman, how dare you not give face?So you can only surrender.

Ye Chongming was really taken aback by Ye Yaming's hypothesis.

"Then, if he said that, what should I do?" He felt that he would definitely not be able to stand it.

Originally, after being a businessman all his life, he had to nod and bow to officials. Now it is too embarrassing for him to stand upright and negotiate face-to-face with the high officials of the court.

"He said the difficulties, and you also said the difficulties." Ye Yaming said, "Just tell him that although the raw materials of this black tea are not expensive, it will take a lot of money to make such delicious tea from such raw materials." Boss' kung fu..."

Ye Yaming helped him analyze little by little, and taught him how to deal with it.

Ye Chongming is also an old man with business, and has been in business all his life.Under Ye Yaming's analysis, his heart also settled down.

"Okay, tomorrow I will do as you said, and hold on to the price. The court has difficulties, so we can't let us lose money, can't we survive?"

"Yes, that's it." Ye Yaming was very satisfied with his brainwashing effect.
