My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Don't worry, I won't get angry!"

Jiang Xiaobai listened to Xiao Qingxiu's words and responded with a smile.

"I hope so!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's calm demeanor, Xiao Qingxiu gave a mocking smile, then looked at the two men sitting below.

"Boss Pan, Boss Song, tell me, how's the brewing going at your two wineries these days?"

"Reporting to Your Highness!"

Upon hearing Xiao Qingxiu's question, the two men immediately stood up.

Among them, the owner surnamed Pan was the first to cup his hands and say, "At our current scale, our winery can brew five hundred jars of wine every day."

"Once we have more manpower and expand our facilities, production can increase even further!"

"My family will order a little more!"

Boss Song chuckled and replied, "Now we can produce six hundred jars a day, and the taste of the wine is consistent. It won't be like before, where it tasted good one day and worse the next!"

Those present were all surprised upon hearing this.

One family produces 500 jars a day, another 600 jars a day; this output is absolutely astonishing.

Jiang Xiaobai sat there, his eyes slightly narrowed.

It seems that Tianjifang's equipment has indeed been leaked.

If brewing were done using the ancient methods of this era, neither of the two wineries could possibly have achieved such a production volume.

Not to mention...

The taste of the drinks can also be kept consistent.

Only if they obtained the blueprints and replicated the same equipment could they have scaled up to such a level in such a short time.

According to his speculation, perhaps... while the Jiang family's liquor business was expanding rapidly, Xiao Qingxiu had already begun preparations under his supervision.

"Bring up a jar of your wine!"

Xiao Qingxiu waved his hand.

"yes!"

Boss Song responded and waved towards the door.

Not long after, a shop assistant carried a jar of wine into the inner room and carefully placed it on the central table.

As the seal was opened on the spot, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

"What fine wine!"

"The aroma of this wine is indeed rich!"

Those present smelled the aroma, their noses twitched slightly, and their expressions changed accordingly.

Hearing the exclamations of praise around him, Xiao Qingxiu's smugness deepened as he introduced, "This wine is produced by one of my wineries using a new process!"

At this point, Xiao Qingxiu seemed to remember something and looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile, saying, "Young Master Jiang, what do you think of my wine?"

"Um!"

Jiang Xiaobai didn't intentionally belittle it, and nodded with a smile: "It's really good, just as good as my family's wine!"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxiu laughed triumphantly, then looked at everyone present and said, "Gentlemen, regarding this wine... I've already reached an agreement with all the major restaurants in the capital!"

"We will officially begin distributing goods in the next few days!"

After a pause, Xiao Qingxiu continued, "During the distribution period, my two liquor stores will continue to expand!"

"Once production is sufficient, we will need the full support of the eight major merchants to ensure this wine is distributed throughout the entire Great China region as quickly as possible!"

The eight officials looked at each other strangely, and none of them responded immediately.

Everyone knows that the Jiang family is also in the liquor business.

But Jiang Xiaobai now holds the ace perfume business, so no one dares to easily offend him.

However, Xiao Qingxiu didn't mind and looked at Helian Zhaoyue with a smile: "Of course, my drinks will be offered to Beiyu at the best possible price!"

That's right, the people of Beiyu love wine, and their consumption of wine is even more terrifying than that of Dahua.

As long as we can open up sales channels in Beiyu, the money will be as good as if it were free.

After hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue merely glanced at the wine jar without responding.

Having witnessed the Jiang family's arrogance yesterday, she had no interest in discussing drinks with Xiao Qingxiu.

Xiao Qingxiu was not impatient about this.

After all, the specific price and quantity need to be discussed in private; he's only mentioning it briefly now.

After waving his hand to signal Boss Pan and Boss Song to sit down, Xiao Qingxiu looked at Jiang Xiaobai again: "Young Master Jiang, you... shouldn't be angry about what I've done, right?"

"Won't!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.

"That's good!"

Xiao Qingxiu said with a mocking look, "However, I hope that after all the major restaurants in the capital have partnered with me, Young Master Jiang will still be as calm as he is now!"

"Furthermore, your family is now, after all, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I hope that Young Master Jiang will not abuse his power to bully others in the future; it won't sound good if word gets out!"

At this point, Xiao Qingxiu let out a cold laugh.

Jiang Xiaobai previously relied on selling wine by bringing along people from the Marquis's mansion to force people to buy and sell.

Such methods, coupled with the fact that the alcohol is indeed quite good, can certainly open up the market in a short period of time.

However, if there are wines of the same quality available on the market, and... at a lower price.

If Jiang Xiaobai continues to rely on this method of forced buying and selling, it will surely arouse public outrage.

"Won't!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head again.

"Young Master Jiang, you do have some self-awareness!"

Xiao Qingxiu smiled slightly and said, "But there's nothing we can do; that's just how normal business competition is!"

"If you have the resources and the right price, you can naturally dominate. But if you rely solely on brute force, your path will only become narrower and narrower!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded earnestly and said, "This young master has learned something!"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, the eldest princess standing behind him lowered her voice and said, "Oh, my imperial nephew is really stupid. Doesn't he see that something is wrong?"

"I really don't know what to say about him!"

While the princess was speaking, Tang Ningshuang lowered her head, looking embarrassed and too embarrassed to respond.

After all, the eldest princess herself also has this problem...

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Xiao Qingxiu sneered and looked at the chubby man sitting on the other side: "Boss Feng, tell us about the recent situation at Xiangmingju!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, the obese man stood up, puffed out his round belly, looked around, and said, "Xiangmingju is still expanding its production scale!"

"Our Xiangmingju has basically monopolized the market share of perfume balms in Beijing, but there is still a shortage of goods in the four major Chinese regions!"

At this point, Boss Feng chuckled softly and said, "So, I'm already preparing for the new perfume shop!"

"Within one year, I guarantee that there will be no more stockouts or shortages of perfumes at Dahua!"

After saying that, the fat man glanced smugly at everyone present.

But soon, his expression faltered slightly.

Indeed, as usual, whenever he mentioned Xiangmingju's expansion, everyone present, whether merchants or business people, would invariably ask about the quantity of goods with great excitement.

They even... fought over shares on the spot for this reason.

But now, the entire hall is eerily quiet.

Many merchants lowered their heads and drank tea, while the people from the eight major trading companies avoided his gaze and looked elsewhere.

What's going on?

The smile on Boss Feng's face was somewhat awkward.

Xiao Qingxiu also sensed something was wrong, and his brows furrowed slightly.

However, given the circumstances, he couldn't ask too many questions. After laughing twice, he turned his attention to Jiang Xiaobai.

"Young Master Jiang, didn't you also want to get into the perfume business?"

Xiao Qingxiu said calmly, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled slightly as she looked at Xiao Qingxiu: "Are you... sure you want me to say it?"
