Cai Bida said, "Lord Liu, you said that my tea is good, but it's a pity. What do you mean?"
Liu Rulai said, "Shopkeeper Cai, what I mean is that although the tea leaves taste good, there's still something missing. It doesn't taste right. Yes, it should be that there's not enough aftertaste. "
Cai Bida frowned when he heard that.
He knew very well how his tea tasted. The tea leaves tasted about the same as the Best Tea in the World. Even if there was a slight difference, it was still limited.
This was Cai Bida's confidence.
However, Cai Bida didn't agree with Liu Rulai's comment that the tea leaves didn't have enough aftertaste.
Cai Bida thought for a moment and said seriously, "Lord Liu, I've personally tasted the tea leaves. Whether it's the color or the taste, they're all excellent. The aftertaste is also mellow. How can it not have enough aftertaste? "
Liu Rulai said slowly, "Everyone has their own tastes. Different ages have different tastes. I can tell that there's not enough aftertaste and it lacks a foundation. "
Cai Bida saw that Liu Rulai was so certain, so he didn't argue with him. He said, "Lord Liu, you must have your reasons for saying so."
Liu Rulai changed the topic and said, "Shopkeeper Cai, may I know why you're here today?"
Cai Bida said, "Lord Liu, I'm here this time because the Best Tea House is opening. There's a certain discount for the opening. In the past, Lord Liu's demand for tea leaves was very high.
"So now, I'm here to ask Lord Liu if you want to order tea.
"Originally, I'd arranged for someone to deliver an invitation to Lord Liu to attend the opening ceremony of the Best Tea House and taste the tea leaves at the same time. It's just that Lord Liu is busy and can't take the time. "
Cai Bida continued, "The tea of the Best Tea House guarantees the quality and the price is also quite discounted. At least, it's more affordable than the Best Tea in the World. "
He stated his purpose for coming.
In the end, Cai Bida was here today to promote his tea leaves.
He hoped to promote the tea leaves.
After Liu Rulai heard that, he said with a look of pity, "Shopkeeper Cai, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't want to accept your invitation, it's just that I'm really busy. Furthermore, I just arrived at the Number One Tea House under the Heavens yesterday and ordered a batch of tea leaves. Therefore, for the time being, it was impossible to order more tea. Next time, if there's a chance, I'll order some tea from Shopkeeper Cai. What do you think? "
His words were flawless.
There was not the slightest mistake.
When Cai Bida heard this, he frowned slightly, but there was also a look of joy between his brows. Cai Bida took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I look forward to our next cooperation. The next time Liu Gong needed tea leaves, he only needed to arrange for one person to come to the First Tea House and inform them. When the time comes, I will personally come and talk to Liu Gong. "
"Sure!"
Liu Rulai smiled and nodded.
Cai Bida didn't stay any longer. He got up and left. Next, he still had to visit his old customers one by one to sell the tea leaves in his hands.
After all, if the First Teahouse had no business, he would not be able to report back to the Eastern Palace. While Cai Bida was constantly paying visits to the tea merchants, in Rulai Liu's hall, he got someone to take away the tea leaves that Cai Bida had sent over. Another gatekeeper entered and said, "Patriarch, someone from the world's number one tea shop is here to visit."
"Please!"
Rulai Liu ordered.
Rulai Liu did business for two reasons. On the one hand, he looked at the quality of the goods. On the other hand, he looked at the people.
The quality of the goods was good, but the businessmen had bad intentions. Rulai Liu wouldn't cooperate because he was worried that he would be schemed against. What Rulai Liu admired had always been the quality of the goods and the honesty of the people.
If you were honest, even if you didn't have good goods for the time being. However, as long as there was an opportunity, you would be able to make a great leap. However, if your heart was bad and you had already gone astray, it would be difficult to turn back.
Precisely because of this, when Rulai Liu came to visit, he found a reason to reject Cai Bida. He didn't want to do business with Cai Bida.
This was Rulai Liu's plan.
Not long after, an attendant entered and bowed respectfully to Rulai Liu. He took out a letter and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, this is a letter from my Young Master. Please read it."
When Rulai Liu heard this, he perked up.
Everyone in Chang 'an City knew about Du Qi's name. Especially Rulai Liu's love for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He couldn't wait to finish reading it in one breath. However, there was no more in Xinhua Wen Xuan Bookstore. As soon as the bookstore sold the latest content, Rulai Liu immediately bought it.
Rulai Liu admired Du Qi very much.
Therefore, when he heard that it was Du Qi's letter, he immediately took it and quickly skimmed through it.
The content of the letter was actually very simple.
It was an invitation to Rulai Liu for tea.
After Rulai Liu saw it, he looked at the attendant who came to deliver the letter and asked, "How many people did Young Master Du invite this time?"
He didn't think that Du Qi would invite him alone.
That was impossible.
The attendant didn't hesitate at all and replied, "Shopkeeper Liu, the people that Young Master invited this time are all tea merchants who buy tea from the tea shop. In total, there are about thirty people. "
Rulai Liu nodded and replied, "Got it. I'll be there in a while."
The attendant immediately took his leave.
The expression on Rulai Liu's face was very expectant. He immediately changed into a set of solemn black clothes and took the carriage to the tea shop of the Best Tea in the World.
While Rulai Liu was going to the tea shop, Cai Bida was still visiting. However, during his visit today, the people he met either refused to buy tea leaves, or simply left the manor, or were unwilling to cooperate with him.
Some people even mocked and ridiculed him, saying that he was a heartless villain and an ungrateful person.
It was because Du Qi didn't let Cai Bida down. However, Cai Bida poached countless people from the tea shop, which was equivalent to emptying the tea shop. In this era, such behavior was no different from being ungrateful.
Cai Bida ran into a wall everywhere and finally achieved nothing. He simply went back and went straight to the First Tea House. After Cai Bida returned to the First Tea House, Lin Changhe came.
Lin Changhe was now the shopkeeper of the tea house.
The things he was responsible for had changed, and now he was in charge of sales. Therefore, Lin Changhe also shouldered a lot of pressure. After all, the tea shop had opened. Except for selling some tea leaves, there were no big orders.
For the tea house, it was impossible to make money without big orders. It might even lose money.
Lin Changhe hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Cai, how is it going?"
Cai Bida didn't say a word, but his face was gloomy.
Seeing this, Lin Changhe suddenly frowned and had a bad feeling. He knew that Cai Bida's visit to the various families this time was definitely not a good start.
Lin Changhe couldn't wait to say, "Shopkeeper Cai, these businessmen have a good relationship with you, especially Rulai Liu. Especially Liu Rulai, you've also had tea with him in private. But why did he refuse? "
Cai Bida said, "I don't know what's going on. In the past, I always succeeded in negotiating with these businessmen. But today, when I went to meet them, they either refused politely or were not there. Some even sneered at me and said that I owed Du Qi's tea house. "
After a pause, Cai Bida gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Why did I owe Du Qi? I didn't steal or rob, and I didn't do anything. What right do they have to say such things about me, that I'm ungrateful? "
After hearing this, Lin Changhe's face twitched, and there was a trace of regret between his eyebrows.
At this moment, Lin Changhe was somewhat regretful.
He regretted leaving the tea house.
If he had stayed in the tea house, he would have been treated differently. However, he followed Cai Bida out, and now the business was not smooth at all, and there were no big orders.
Then, if they wanted to do business in Yongxing City, it would be a big joke. Even if they had a high salary now, it would be impossible for them to continue like this.
Therefore, Lin Changhe was somewhat regretful.
But since it had come to this, Lin Changhe knew it was useless to regret, so he said, "It's really difficult for us now. Shopkeeper Cai, we have to think of a way. "
Cai Bida said, "What can I do in this situation?"
He was extremely mad.
His inner emotions were not calm at all.
Lin Changqing sighed and didn't say anything.
After venting for a while, Cai Bida said, "Hold on for two more days. If our teahouse still doesn't show any improvement after two days, then we'll take over. If the tea house doesn't improve after two more days, we'll go to the East Palace and ask for their help. "
"OK!"
Lin Changhe nodded.
Now, this was the only way. There was no other way.
