"Master, Fifth Martial Uncle is too biased. He gave the order of medical alcohol to the Zhang Family Village!" In the Mo Mansion, Wu Meiniang complained to Mo Wu while holding Mo Tan in her arms.
From her point of view, even though Black Five studied medicine, he was still considered half a member of the Mo Family. Even though the Mo Family Village had its own winery, Black Five gave the order for the medical alcohol to an outsider. One must know that once the winery in the Mo Family Village closed down, many Mo Family members would lose their jobs.
As the Eldest Martial Sister of the Mo Family, although she didn't care about the profit of the medical alcohol, she couldn't bear the grievances of Mo Jiazi brothers. That was why she came to the Mo Mansion to stand up for the winery.
Meton was unmoved, "The winery should have been closed long ago. Every time I go back to the Mo Family Village, the whole village is shrouded in the smell of distilled grains. It's better to close the winery as soon as possible. It doesn't fit the reputation of the Mo Family Village as the best village in the world."
Wu Meiniang was dissatisfied, "Before the prohibition, Xie Qianchou made a lot of money for the Mo Family Village. Why don't you close the winery?"
Meton smiled awkwardly, "Xie Qianchou is the first bucket of gold that the Mo Family Village accumulated. Now that the Mo Family Village has developed and the secret winery has been leaked, Xie Qianchou's importance has decreased greatly. Moreover, the winery is not suitable for the reputation of the Mo Family Village. It's only a matter of time before it is closed."
In fact, although Xie Qianchou was good, it was not the best wine in the Tang dynasty. It had the advantage of the secret winery created by the Mo Family Village. The quality of the wine was greatly purified and it was the first to create a reputation of high quality liquor in the Tang dynasty.
Wu Meiniang sighed. She knew that her master had made up his mind. The winery could not be reopened. Even if the prohibition was lifted one day, the winery would not be reopened.
"I know what to do." Wu Meiniang handed her brother to her master and left immediately.
"Eldest Martial Sister!" When Wu Meiniang stepped into Wu Meiniang's restaurant, a group of Mo Jiazi brothers immediately came forward to greet her. They looked at her expectantly.
Wu Meiniang shook her head slightly, and Mo Jiazi's brothers from the winery immediately looked disappointed.
"Not only will the wine cellar of the Mo Family's Village be closed, even if the prohibition is lifted, Xie Qianchou will not produce and the Mo Family's Village will give up the liquor business." Wu Meiniang said firmly.
"What? Xie Qianchou stopped production! "
In the hall of Fish Scholar's Restaurant, there was still a group of people anxiously waiting for the news of Xie Qianchou. They were the ten distributors of Xie Qianchou in the Tang dynasty. When they heard the decision of Village Mo's village, the distributors were in an uproar. They had made a lot of money by relying on Xie Qianchou over the years. Even though the ban on alcohol had been imposed, they did not intend to give up the franchise. However, they did not expect that the village of Village Mo's village would give up the liquor business.
"Xie Qianchou is the most famous liquor in the Tang dynasty. Its value and significance are incomparable. The Mo family's decision is too rash." Family Head Zheng frowned. He had been in the business world for many years, so he naturally knew the value of Xie Qianchou. He also knew that the prohibition would not last for a long time. One day, the prohibition would be lifted. Village Mo's village would suffer a great loss if they gave up the liquor business directly.
Wu Meiniang spread her hands and said, "This is master's decision. It's a foregone conclusion. Come with me to return the deposit of 5,000 strings of cash!"
Hearing that it was Mo Jiazi's decision, the franchisees suddenly understood that what was done could not be changed. For them, as businessmen, as long as there was profit, they would not give up. However, Mo Jiazi had already surpassed them. There were too many businessmen who only pursued money. The profit of Xie Qianchou was not enough to affect Mo Jiazi's will.
As the franchisees took the deposit and left, two people deliberately stayed until the end. One of them was Family Head Zheng from Guannei Circuit and the other was Chen Shaoye from Lingnan Circuit. No, he should be called Family Head Chen now. 12
"Why don't you two take the deposit?" Wu Meiniang looked at them in surprise.
Family Head Zheng and Family Head Chen looked at each other and suddenly realized that they had the same idea. Family Head Zheng did not hide it and said bluntly, "I am not going to take the deposit of 5,000 strings of cash. I am going to stay in Village Mo."
Wu Meiniang's face was filled with shock as she said, "I'm afraid the two Family Heads are joking. The Mo Family has already given up on the liquor business. How can we still take a deposit from the two Family Heads? If this were to spread, how would the world view the Mo Family?"
The young Patriarch Chen smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you don't have to put on an act. Although the Mo Family Village has given up on the liquor business, I heard that Marquis Mo has moved the wine workshop in Gaochang back. We don't want to take the deposit because we want to be the agent of the Mo Family Village's wine business.
Looking at Family Head Chen, Family Head Zheng could not help sighing that the younger generation would surpass them in time. This young man was so keen to seize the business opportunity.
The prohibition of liquor in the Tang dynasty forbade the use of grains to make wine. However, the wine in the Western Regions was made from grapes and did not consume grains at all. Naturally, it was not prohibited. At that time, wine would be the only kind of wine produced in the Tang dynasty. It would be a unique business.
Moreover, both men and women could drink it. It had a broader market prospect. How could they not be tempted?
"You two are indeed business elites. Village Mo does have the business of making wine, but the location is not in Village Mo, but in Dengzhou in Shandong Province (Yantai in the future). Because the grapes need to be grafted and grown, the production in the first few years will not be high. You have to think about it carefully." Wu Meiniang said bluntly. Although there was a tradition of growing grapes in Dengzhou, it would take several years to grow them on a large scale and improve the varieties.
The two looked at each other. If the production was not high, it meant that the rarer something was, the more expensive it was. Therefore, the price would not be low. The two were delighted. This unique business would have a better future.
"We have made up our minds. We will never go back on our words." Family Head Zheng and Family Head Chen said in unison.
"Well, as a regular customer, Mei Niang will make an exception and allow you two to choose the agent region first." Mei Niang could not help but have a good impression of the two, so she said loudly.
Family Head Zheng laughed and said, "In that case, I will be thick-skinned and choose first. This time, I still choose Guannei Road."
Family Head Zheng and Family Head Qian had shared the business of Quenching Qianchou last time. Now that Family Head Qian was out, Family Head Zheng took all the business of Guannei Road.
"Congratulations, Senior Zheng." Family Head Chen cupped his hands and said, "This time, I also choose Lingnan Road."
Suddenly, Wu Meiniang and Family Head Zheng could not help but look at Family Head Chen in surprise. In terms of economic potential, only Henan Road, which included Luoyang City, could be compared with Guannei Road in Chang 'an. However, Family Head Chen did not choose Henan Road, which was the most promising, but the remote Lingnan Road.
"The younger generation will surpass us in time!" Family Head Zheng could not help but praise. He had been in Guannei Road for many years and had made friends with many influential people. That was why he was confident that he could handle the business of Guannei Road. Although Henan Road had a bright future, if Family Head Chen forced his way into Henan Road, he was afraid that he would be swallowed by those aristocratic families. If he was not careful, his family would be ruined. Therefore, he chose Lingnan Road, which was Family Head Chen's base. Although the profit was much smaller, it was safer.
"In that case, Mei Niang congratulates the two of you." Wu Meiniang said heartily.
