Chapter 163 Cooperation
A drop of drizzle hit his face, and Liu Ying said, "It's raining. How can this be good? I forgot to take the rain gear when I came out. The two smiled and were no longer humble. What they had done was too fake. Follow the opportunity to shelter from the rain in the pavilion next to you.
"It is said that Qingxi Lake is not as good as Yuxi Lake. Brother Xiao, it seems that we are lucky." Xia Ruoyan looked down the mountain. Yuxi Lake and Qingxi Lake have a different charm. The pattering rain fell with the wind, like putting a layer of gauze on the whole West Lake, like a half-decent girl, which is infinitely reminiscent. The pavilion was not big, and the four of them stood a little crowded. In order not to appear too embarrassed, Xiao Ran had to follow Xia Ruoyan's words.
"Um, I heard that the clear West Lake is not as good as Yuxi Lake, and the rainy West Lake is not as good as the Snow West Lake.' I have seen the second one, and I don't know when I will have a chance to see the Snow West Lake.
The rain drips down the eaves, like a broken column. Liu Fangfei's heart was already confused. She vaguely felt that things should not be so coincidental, but she couldn't find any flaws. Xiao Ran is not greedy for his appearance, nor is he taking the opportunity to blackmail his money. So what is his purpose of approaching him?
"Where is Mr. Xiao from?" Liu Fangfei took the lead in breaking the silence. Xia Ruoyan is also very concerned about this. She has never heard Xiao Ran mention his family. What is his background?
"Chang'an people, there is no fixed place to walk in the world." Xiao Ran replied without hesitation.
Liu Fangfei continued with a "oh" sound, "What does Mr. Xiao plan to continue to walk around the world in the future?"
"I want to do some small business, but I don't know if Miss Liu is interested." Xiao Ran was too lazy to go around the circle and express his intention to cooperate directly. There is no love for no reason, no hatred for no reason, and no help for no reason. After knowing Xiao Ran's purpose, Liu Fangfei was more at ease.
" Mr. Xiao must be very sure. Although Liu's Commercial Bank is not very famous, it has something to do with the general business. I don't know what Mr. Xiao is talking about. As long as I can make money, I don't have the reason to push the business outside.
No business, no treachery, this word is used in any dynasty. Although Liu Fangfei owes Xiao Ran a favor, she still focuses on interests when it comes to family business and will not be mixed with personal feelings. This is also the reason why the patriarch is relieved to hand over the business to her. Xiao Ran also took out three small and exquisite crystal bottles from his cuffs after careful consideration. Only the thumb is high, and it is full of light yellow, crimson and dark blue**.
"Is this... a crystal bottle? Well, what a special fragrance."
This is exactly the goods Xiao Ran thought about: perfume. In the Tang Dynasty, there are also people who wear it with spices to keep the fragrance. However, it is not convenient. The origin of real perfume can be traced back to the invention of the distillation process by the Arabs, and then the Crusade led the French to discover essential oils and establish their status in the French perfume kingdom. In Xiao Ran's memory, the annual income of perfume luxury brands in the previous life was very large. As long as it is sold out, it is basically a profitable business.
Xiao Ran also wants to operate alone. But first, I don't have that much time to do business. It will take a period of buffering for new things to be widely accepted, and there is nothing we can do about it in terms of connections or distribution. Su and Zhejiang, an enduring and rich place, has gathered countless wealthy people. Only these upper-level knowledge can afford to consume,
There are four larger chambers of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which control different regions. The Zheng family is the first among them. With the support of the strength behind the Zheng family, it will be easy to do anything. Tianfeng Commercial Bank and He's Commercial Bank supported by Murong Family are both established chambers of commerce and have strong strength. Only Liu's business is a new force that has only emerged in the past 20 years. Under such strict control, the Liu family is also quite powerful. Among them, tea and silk. Jewelry is a pillar industry and is preparing to expand its power to find new goals. I believe they will realize how many business opportunities there are hidden in their "perfume".
"Open the bottle stopper and smell it." Xiao Ran was not in a hurry to introduce, but just let them experience it in person. The cork of the bottle is also made of sandalwood at the end. Liu Fangfei's light yellow jasmine type, the willow warbler picks the red rose type, and Xia Ruoyan picks the dark blue orchid fragrance. As soon as the wooden plug was opened, the fragrant smell was refreshing and full of incredible look.
Xiao Ran said, "This is the goods I want to cooperate with your firm: perfume. Sanskrit is called "Kangjia". From the dedication of Kangjia perfume, the three professions of the walkers are clean, washing and dyeing troubles and dirt. The water offered by Buddhism to Buddha is also one of them.
More than satisfied, Liu Fangfei was ecstatic. She was busy these days and had to entertain some guests she didn't want to see, which was extremely annoying. Only then did I think of visiting Xizi Lake with my sister for a break. I didn't expect a good opportunity. It's really hard to break the iron shoes without any effort. If it can be mass-produced, it will undoubtedly surpass the three pillar industries in the family and jump to the top of the list. And the three pillar industries are not made by paying a lot of money to dredge channels and work hard. If you succeed, your status in the clan will be greatly improved.
Liu Fangfei calmed down and said, "Mr. Xiao is really surprised. How can such a good goods be refused? I don't know how much energy this perfume product produces per month?
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as it is fully maned. It is not a problem to produce thousands of bottles a day. Of course, there are more. In terms of profit, you can divide it into a few.
"Five-five points?" Liu Fangfei promised after thinking about it for a moment. Xiao Ran came up with the method and formula for making perfume, and Liu's firm was responsible for production and sales. Five-five shares are not a loss. If this formula is given to any other business, it will be a great pressure on itself. It's better to be lucky. Just meet it first.
The rain is still raining, but it is not as dense as before. Somehow, Liu Fangfei suddenly hoped that the rain would not stop so soon. Xiao Ran and Xia Ruoyan whispered to enjoy the scenery of the lake. The Liu sisters whispered on the other side.
"Sister, as long as we take these three bottles of perfume back home, I believe they will be happy. Ha ha...sister...sister?"
"Hmm...what's the matter? Go on, I'm listening." Yu Ying has lost her body several times in the conversation. The sisters who grew up together can not know what her sister is thinking. He just sighed softly in his heart and said nothing more.
The rain finally stopped. It was already afternoon to say goodbye to the Liu sisters, and the two gradually drifted away. Lifting the curtains of the carriage, Liu Fangfei finally looked at the pavilion halfway up the Linglong Mountain: "Go back home." Maybe there will be no intersection, but it will always be unforgettable. This kindness will be rewarded in the future. The most beautiful thing is not a rainy day, but the eaves that escape the rain with you.
As the saying goes, "clear guns are easy to avoid and dark arrows are difficult to prevent". Whether it is a good hand or practicing palm kung fu, no one is afraid of hidden weapons. In addition, the highly toxic infection on the hidden weapon is even more headache. Tangmen has stabilized its century-old foundation in the fear and awe of people in martial arts. At home and abroad, all prefectures and counties have stores specializing in selling all kinds of hidden weapons and antidotes.
50% of the hidden weapons in the whole martial arts are made by Tangmen, whether it is the superior "five poison god sand", "iron tree pear flower needle" or ordinary bone-pierpiering nails, flying locusts and sleeve arrows. This sideline alone is enough to spend the expenses of the whole Tang Sect. Vientiane Hall is located in the bustling area of Hangzhou. It is the largest hidden weapon store in this area. It is divided into three layers. There is an endless stream of people coming to the door.
Xiao Ran strides forward and can see all kinds of strange hidden weapons. The little calf hair actually laughed with his fists. It is the "iron tree pear flower needle" mechanism. Of course, these are just things on the table. If you want to buy better quality goods, it is not only enough to have money, but also your status is very important.
Seeing that Xiao Ran just looked at it casually and didn't mean to buy it, the shopkeeper greeted him, "Brother, what kind of goods do you want? We are all satisfied with you.
"I want to see someone. Elder Hong can see that he doesn't have anything to discuss." As he said, he took out a maple token from his cuffs, with the word "Tang" written on it. The shopkeeper just glanced at it, changed his face, and arched his hand and said, "I have seen the elders in Yantang." People can't look good. Even if they don't believe that Xiao Ran is the outer elder of Tangmen, they still saluted when they saw this token.
