After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 227 Information Distribution Center

When Zhou Haoran heard this, he felt that what the old man said was a little simplistic.

Traditionally, when scholars became apprentices, they would bathe and change clothes.

When it came to him, he retired from the world.

The gangster atmosphere is even stronger.

But it's normal. In a sense, Honglou Teahouse is a martial arts sect and a folk organization.

Hu Xiaochen was quite cultured and asked, "Did the Red Mansion Teahouse originate from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas?"

"Yeah, the Cao family."

Old man Liu Zhengyue said with a smile.

Hu Xiaochen didn't care.

The claim that Cao Xueqin is the ancestor of the sect is completely false.

The hairdressing industry even worships Guan Gong as its ancestor!
However, doing business while drinking tea in a teahouse is indeed a tradition in the Jiangnan region. It is not traced back to the Qing Dynasty, but has been like this since the people moved south.

Hu Xiaochen asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "Did it develop from the old 'eating and talking about tea'?"

Liu Zhengyue smiled and said, "That should be it."

"Big Sister, what is eating and talking about tea?"

Jono had never heard of such a word.

Hu Xiaochen gave her a simple explanation.

In the past, the court had few laws and weak enforcement.

There is also a saying that imperial power does not extend below the county level.

There are some civil disagreements in the county. What should we do?
At this time, instead of seeking justice from the imperial court, they went to a teahouse to mediate and ask some of the guests to come over and find a respected person to take the seat.

Invite them to tea.

While drinking tea, they talked about the differences and conflicts between the two sides.

Then please vote and make a fair judgment on the right and wrong!

It is similar to the Western "public jury" system.

In the old days, this behavior was called "eating and talking tea".

As the name suggests, it means "eating tea" rather than "drinking tea". This tradition has been passed down since the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming Dynasty it was basically "drinking tea".

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this tradition actually continued.

But we can no longer use the terms used in the old society.

It was given a new look and a new name, and because it was first promoted in the Fengqiao area, it was called the "Fengqiao Model".

Not to mention Qiao Nuo, even Zhou Haoran heard such a statement for the first time.

I feel like it all makes sense from a theoretical perspective.

What Honglou Teahouse does is actually an extension of "eating and talking about tea," and it is a kind of commercial judgment. At the same time, as a place where people gather to drink tea, teahouses, like pubs, can gather information from all aspects, which has the advantage of breaking the information gap.

This kind of information gap advantage can be said to have exactly the same genes as the "letter writing mode" that Zhou Haoran is currently using!
Qiao Nuo had a deep understanding of this during the process of opening and reading the letter.

"Master, the questions in these letters are different from the previous ones."

Qiao Nuo participated in the whole process and discovered it early on.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "What's the difference?"

"The first batch of letters came in with a variety of inquiries, many of which were management problems. But these are not the cases. The business inquiries here mainly fall into two categories."

Qiao Nuo talked freely under Hu Xiaochen's envious gaze.

Zhou Haoran nodded, "Which two?"

"Hmm..." Qiao Nuo hesitated for a moment and said tentatively, "On the one hand, it's difficult to get financing, and on the other hand, there's a shortage of goods. It's probably related to the fact that this second batch of users are mainly trading companies."

Zhou Haoran said slowly, "The general trend is now very clear. The two major centers of the domestic economy in the future are the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. The Pearl River Delta is mainly based on manufacturing. The Yangtze River Delta also has a lot of manufacturing, but the majority are traders, especially foreign trade. All international metropolises rely on trade, not manufacturing."

Qiao Nuo's face flushed, as if he had discovered a new world. "Master, has our chance come?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran wanted to test her.

Qiao Nuo said excitedly, "For the first batch of clients, we mainly contacted the manufacturing industry. For the second batch, we mainly looked for traders. This is a perfect match! The manufacturing clients have inventory backlogs but no channels; the traders have channels but no goods. If we act as a middleman, won't we be able to connect them? Won't the problems on both sides be solved at the same time?"

When Mr. Liu Zhengyue heard what she said, his face turned red with excitement.

This is indeed the method of the great master!

The legacy of the Dream of the Red Chamber can continue gloriously!
Zhou Haoran explained this from a theoretical perspective: "Currently, domestic productivity is based on an extensive model. In this economic structure, information asymmetry is the biggest constraint on economic development."

Qiao Nuo said excitedly, "Master, now I finally understand. No wonder reporter Yan Hong chose the Economic and Trade Development Zone for the second issue of his 'People's Livelihood Investigation' feature. So that's the reason! With manufacturing on one hand and trade on the other, the Red House Teahouse has become an information hub, right?"

Hu Xiaochen was completely confused.

What are the first and second batches? What is the information gap? What is the second issue of "People's Livelihood Survey"?

At this moment, she is in a huge information gap.

It made her feel uncomfortable. She felt like a senior sister being outdone by a junior sister.

"Okay, we've almost finished reading the letter. It's time for us to go."

Zhou Haoran didn't want to say more.

The two female disciples are family, so there is no need to be shy about it.

But if we continue the discussion, we have to talk about the business model, and we can't talk nonsense in this kind of occasion.

As soon as he got in the car, Hu Xiaochen was unhappy: "Master, you are biased."

"Where is it?"

"I don't even know about writing a letter."

"You're busy with work, but you still want to help me with advertising." Zhou Haoran's consolation is always very straightforward and well-reasoned. "Isn't that how the division of labor in society works? Different people take on different tasks."

Hu Xiaochen said depressedly: "There are also differences in importance. Compared with what you do, what I do is worthless."

Qiao Nuo smiled and said, "That's great. I have so many letters and I'm already busy. If you're free, come and help, Senior Sister."

"Okay!"

Hu Xiaochen agreed readily.

Qiao Nuo said cheerfully and clearly, "Big Sister, we still have a small treasury!"

"Little vault?"

Hu Xiaochen's eyes widened.

Zhou Haoran was sitting in the front, and when he heard the two of them talking in the back, he wanted to cover his eyes.

Qiao Nuo is innocent, and Hu Xiaochen is a dramatic actor.

If we live together, I'm sure he'll be under your control.

Sure enough, worry about nothing.

Qiao Nuo said with a smile, "It's just private money. Master said it's our little treasury. Let's go look at a house later. Master said we can use the money from the treasury to rent a two-bedroom apartment and live together!"

"Live together?" Hu Xiaochen's eyes widened even more. "No...it's not appropriate, right?"

"Ah?" Qiao Nuo was very surprised. "Why is it inappropriate?"

Hu Xiaochen blushed, "Master and disciple are just master and disciple."

"Yes, Master and Disciple? What's wrong?"

Qiao Nuo looked confused.

Hu Xiaochen whispered, "There should also be differences between men and women between teachers and students."

"Ok?"

Qiao Nuo frowned, not understanding her meaning.

Zhou Haoran understood, and secretly cursed this drama queen for underestimating his character. He coughed lightly and said, "Xiaochen, you are the eldest sister. You two live together. You should take care of Nuonuo and don't bully her."

"Hmm?" Hu Xiaochen blinked, and a smile finally appeared on his face. "We can live together, okay!"

She thought three people were going to live together!

This style is too aggressive.

She couldn't accept it at all.

It's okay to joke around sometimes, but I can't let him really ruin my innocence.

Qiao Nuo hadn't come to his senses yet. "Isn't that what I said?"

Hu Xiaochen took her arm and said happily: "Nono, from now on we will be sisters, living together, and we must take care of each other."

Qiao Nuo said "Oh" and asked heartlessly: "Master, it seems that the letter writing business is about to reach a new level. We have successfully connected manufacturing and trade."

"Ah."

“Can I make a lot of money now?”

"Well, there are four ways to make money." This was Zhou Haoran's original plan. "The simplest one is the information gap. 'I know you don't know,' and that's how you can make money."

Qiao Nuo asked curiously, "So what should we do? How can we make money with this information advantage?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Um……"

Qiao Nuo drew out the note.

Zhou Haoran was driving and said casually, "Xiaochen, think about it too."

"Oh, let me think about it."

A sweet smile appeared on Hu Xiaochen's lips.

But I felt very strange in my heart.

Well, he pretends to be my teacher!

In the past, she always called me "Sister Xiaochen", but now she just calls me "Xiaochen". She really acts like a senior!
