Chapter 30
“Will they make their own frosting?”
Nero's face immediately turned pale.
There are so few merchants in Tianzhu, but they can make a fortune in Chang'an City. The most important thing is that they monopolize the source of frosting.
You're welcome to say that they want to sell frosting at any price.
Of course, you can also skip it.
"I don't know, but since they can process the sugar cane into icing, it seems nothing strange to process the sugar cane into icing."
At this time, A San dared not hide anything.
If a judgment is not made well, Nero's Icing Shop will fall into a state of endless doom.
"We have known this for a long time in Lingnan. Even in the area near Lingnan Road, some people planted some sugarcane on a small scale and treated it as fruit for eating.
If the Qin family really mastered the technology of making frosting, then they could really transport a batch of frosting from Jiangnan Road or Lingnan Road in a short time.”
Nero took a deep breath and tried his best to restore clarity in his mind.
At this time, he felt that he could not be impulsive and had to analyze the situation carefully with A San.
Otherwise, there would be no way to make accurate decisions.
"Yes, so I think relying on restricting the supply of frosting to prevent the Qin family's sugar shop from making sugar can't produce sugar. This may not be a good way, and it may anger him.
Besides, it’s not the only one who sells frosting shops. At this time, everyone has their own thoughts and may not allow us to disagree to sell frosting to the Qin family today. If we turn to other houses, we will sell all our frosting at a low price.”
Although A San often sees his shopkeeper drinking with other frosting shop owners, he doesn't think everyone can be united at critical moments.
"Well, if their sugar has been sold at both sides of the market, then others will not come to buy our frosting again unless we lower the price. But if we lower the price, the sugar will probably also be lowered. If this continues, then everyone will not get any money and will offend the other party."
Nero knew that the sugar shop was opened by the Qin family.
Qin Qiong had just served as the General of the Left Wu Guard, which was a very critical position in the army, which fully demonstrated that Qin Qiong was deeply trusted by the superiors.
Nero has been in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and he still has this knowledge.
"so……"
A San was confused for a while, but in the end he still couldn't tell his answer.
However, Nero immediately gave his own judgment and said, "I will go to Qin Dalang to visit Qin Dalang later to see if I can cooperate with them and sell our frosting to him. The Qin family will go to Jiangnan Road or Lingnan Road to open a frosting workshop, which not only takes time but also money. The frosting produced may not be lower than our purchase price."
In Nero's view, the sugarcane of the Tang Dynasty had not been planted on a large scale, and the Qin family had never made frosted in the past.
In Tianzhu, the sugar production industry is relatively mature.
Especially in the Panawa Kingdom in southeastern India, almost half of the people make a living by growing sugar cane and produce almost 90% of the world's frosting.
With this scale advantage and the technical advantages that Nero believes are complementary, it should be profitable to directly purchase frosting from Tianzhu to Datang for sale.
It's just that it's more difficult to make a lot of money like in the past.
"Shopkeeper, you are so wise, I think so too. If we can take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Qin Mansion and make him our backer, then we will have completely gained a foothold in the Tang Dynasty and will not have to worry about life in the future."
Nowadays, no matter which country the Hu people belong to, they have no status in the Tang Dynasty.
Like later generations, it was absolutely impossible for women to take pride in having a foreign boyfriend to happen in the Tang Dynasty.
Although Nero and Ah San have been in Chang'an City for so many years and have earned a lot of money, and even hired some Tang people in the shop, their status in Chang'an City is not at all high.
If no one bullies them at will, it can only be said that the order in Chang'an City is still stable and the society is operating well.
After all, this is the beginning of a brand new dynasty.
Even in a short-lived dynasty, at the beginning, the emperor worked hard to govern and wanted to achieve something.
"You are not wrong. If you can really have a big backer and earn less money, it's OK."
...
"What did you say? Did this white sugar as white as snow be created by that prodigal son?"
In Changsun’s mansion, Changsun Chong was shocked when he saw Du He who was hurried over to find him.
Qin Xiedao mortgaged all the house deeds and land deeds in his family to the pledge warehouse, and then used all the money to buy frosting.
This kind of prodigal act was only spread by their efforts.
In addition, Qin Xiedao dived into the water to save the Yang family’s wife in the release pond that day, and it was only through their efforts that he became a disciple.
The Qin family is prodigal!
The Qin family’s disciple!
These two reputations are the result of Changsun Chong's efforts.
But now Du He told him that Qin Xiedao processed the frosting into the sugar in front of him.
There is no need to say anything, just looking at the appearance, Changsun Chong knew that the Qin family was going to make a fortune.
"Brother Changsun, although I don't want to admit it, this is the item sold by the newly opened white sugar shop of the Qin family. People dare to open the shop opposite the largest frosting shop in Chang'an City, so they naturally have some confidence in their hearts.
I heard from the servant that as soon as the sugar shop opened today, it attracted many people to buy sugar, and the Qin family also created a bunch of fancy slogans. Now many businesses in the West City have begun to learn their practices.”
Du He was full of depression, but he still had to introduce the situation to Changsun Chong clearly.
"Where did the Qin family get the secret technique of making white sugar? I have never heard of anyone who can process the frosting into white."
"I don't know, but now they can make sugar. This is an iron-like fact. This sugar cost five jin per pound. Although it is estimated that it will lose money and make a lot of money in the future, it will definitely be a huge profit in the future.
I guess in Chang'an City, only your iron smelting workshop can compete with them."
Du He looked envious and jealous.
Such a good thing can't fall into his Du family?
"Let's go, let's go to the sugar shop to have a look!"
Changsun Chong felt that if he didn't go to the scene to take a look, he would not be willing to accept this reality.
Could it be that after just a few days, the prodigal son of the Qin Mansion became the God of Wealth in the Qin Mansion?
I used to promote Qin Xiedao's notoriety. The larger the scale of the publicity at that time, the more powerful the reversal effect it is now.
