Chapter 9701 Business
The Gu family.
The place where the Teng people live is on the right side of a rock, surrounded by many ancient trees.
The air here is fresh and there are many trees. It is the favorite environment of the Vine people.
The rattan genius is sitting on a rattan chair.
He took the time to make this wicker chair in the past few days, and he is personally very satisfied with it.
Because, in terms of compilation techniques, he has made certain breakthroughs and made some innovations.
But even so, he is still not in a good mood now.
The reason is very simple, because the rattan furniture of the rattan tribe is no longer easy to sell. In his opinion, this is not only related to the future development of the rattan tribe, but also the beginning of the decline of rattan weaving art.
“Old Vine.”
The shouts coming from outside were getting closer.
Teng Tiancai cheered up, he had heard the source of the sound.
That was the voice of Tao Gaochang, the leader of the Tao tribe.
Tao Gaochang is his old friend. He came here so late, but he doesn’t know what his purpose is.
When he stood up, he heard more than one footsteps.
Sure enough, he asked the guard to open the door, and what came into view was not only Tao Gaochang, but also the ancient style of the Gu family and a tall woman.
"Old Tao, the ancient patriarch... who are you?"
Teng Tiancai greeted him and asked with raised eyebrows.
“This is Master Ziyan, the hidden guard commander of the imperial court.”
Tao Gaochang first introduced Ziyan.
Afterwards, Teng Tiancai welcomed everyone into the house.
Tao Gaochang briefly explained his purpose.
Teng Tiancai couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Thousand-man team?"
Teng Tiancai's mind suddenly went blank. This old friend was so stupid.
The Vine clan could barely gather a team of one thousand people, but this team of one thousand people were all young men. They were not only guards, but also laborers for the family, and they were the main force of the cane weaving.
What will happen to the rattan weavings of the rattan tribe if it is taken away?
"No, no, we still have to weave rattan. If the young men leave, the women in the family will be too busy."
Teng Tiancai shook his head.
“Is there still a market for your rattan weavings? I heard that wood products and porcelain are now popular in Banshu.”
Zi Yan asked.
Teng Tiancai clenched his fists and said: "The sales of rattan weaving have dropped, but they are still popular."
No matter how stubborn he is, he has to admit that the sales of rattan weaving are getting worse day by day.
“Rattan weaving is out of date.”
“The mass production of porcelain by Yang’s firm, coupled with the price reduction brought about by the improvement of wood products technology, has made the porcelain more practical and cheaper in terms of practicality and price. Judging from the appearance, rattan weaving is not very competitive, and from an artistic point of view, the rich and nobles do not like rattan weaving.”
Purple smoke.
The rattan weavings of the rattan tribe include high-end products and low-end products, but both aspects have been severely suppressed.
The reason is that the birth of various new tools in Daqi Jingcheng Science and Technology Garden has led to the emergence of large-scale factories in the capital.
As a result, the cost and price of wood and porcelain dropped sharply. In addition, Yang's Trading Company spared no effort to transport goods to Bozhou, Yizhou and other southwest directions.
Under the fierce competition, the rattan weaving of the rattan tribe almost completely failed.
"The artistry of rattan weaving is very high, but they don't have the vision to appreciate it."
The sunken cheeks on the thin face of the rattan genius bulged with anger.
Although what Zi Yan said was true, Teng Tiancai just refused to accept this tone.
“I admit that rattan weaving has its artistry, but you don’t need many people to make rattan weaving now. This is also a fact.”
“You guys have been idle for a long time. ”
Zi Yan said lightly.
“So what?”
Teng Tiancai raised his eyebrows. "I'll give you a cooperation plan."
"If you hire someone, I can ask Yang's Trading Company to come forward and help you sell rattan fabrics. I can help you deal with the unsalable rattan fabrics. ”
Purple smoke.
Teng Tiancai did not refuse immediately.
Because Zi Yan gave him an offer that he could hardly refuse.
If the Vine Clan’s biggest crisis could be solved, would he still be stubborn and not cooperate with the court?
He is the leader of the Vine Clan and cannot act on his own initiative.
"Can it really be sold?"
Teng Tiancai asked doubtfully.
Yang's Trading Company is indeed famous and its management skills are very good, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. With the prospect of the decline of rattan weaving, how to deal with the unsalable rattan weaving?
“You don’t have to worry about this. As long as you agree, you can hand over all the rattan weaving to Yang’s Trading Company. No matter whether you can sell it or not, you rattan tribe will not suffer any loss.”
Purple smoke pipe.
"Well, if that's the case, I agree."
Tengcai nodded.
Zi Yan has already said this, and he has no reason to refuse at all.
As for having a good relationship with Banzhou, he didn’t think so.
The relationship with Banzhou is basically just business.
Now there are not many business connections left.
"Master Zi, do we also need a market for our pottery?"
Tao Gaochang was a little jealous as he listened.
Although their pottery has a wider market than the rattan ware of the Teng tribe, it is currently shrinking.
After buying pottery, it will not break for a long time. Ordinary families can use it for a long time. As a result, the markets in Bozhou and Yizhou are gradually saturated, and the pottery people are unable to open up more markets outside. .
"Everyone can cooperate."
"At that time, I will ask Yang Weiqing, the person in charge of Yang's Trading Company in Yizhou, to contact you. If you have any business questions, you can ask him."
< br>Purple flue.
Yang Weiqing's level as a hidden guard is average, but his level in business is extremely high.
The business in Yizhou can almost be said to have been promoted by him alone.
"Okay, I have admired him for a long time. It is a good thing to have the opportunity to cooperate."
Tao Gaochang said.
Both he and Teng Tiancai knew about Yang Weiqing.
They had been thinking about it for a long time.
But mostly hatred.
It is precisely because of Yang Weiqing's business practices that the two families are in a difficult situation now.
They once thought of finding an opportunity to kill Yang Weiqing.
But business behavior cannot be solved by killing one person, so in the end, they gave up their plan.
Now that we have the opportunity to cooperate and make Yang Weiqing our own, this is different.
The stronger Yang Weiqing’s business ability is, the more beneficial it will be for them.
The rattan genius became happy and began to talk about the art of rattan weaving.
Fortunately, Zi Yan is not a vulgar person, so he can still chat for a few words, which makes Teng Tian Tian happy.
That night, Zi Yan returned to the room arranged by Gu Fengzhang alone, it was already late at night.
She originally wanted to meet the Chang clan.
But now time has no effect.
Moreover, the Chang clan is very different from the Teng clan and the Tao clan.
The Teng tribe and the Tao tribe are both indigenous tribes who mainly do business, but the Chang tribe is mainly an indigenous tribe that believes in witch gods and makes a living by hunting.
Generally speaking, when it comes to matters of faith, issues are more difficult to deal with and cannot be settled in a business-like manner.
