Chapter 256 Rock Sugar Sydney
A Sange was all shocked.
This is real sugar, real frosting sugar, which is a thousand times better than their frosting sugar, especially the rock sugar, which is incredible.
Qin Lang sat there, looking at the shocked expressions of Ah San brothers, he felt very proud.
"My Tang Dynasty already has a secret method to make real frosting sugar and rock sugar. Even this old **** brown sugar is actually no worse than your Tianzhu sugar."
The implication is that Tianzhu Frosted Sugar has fallen behind and is worthless, so why is it still selling for three hundred yuan a catty?
"Dear Lord Yi, I am willing to exchange two catties of Tianzhu frosting sugar for one catty of your Datang frosting sugar!" A businessman from Gaoda Kingdom hurriedly said.
The envoy of Jiamolupo raised the price, "I will exchange three catties of frosting sugar for one catty!"
Bramo Kingdom immediately increased the weight, "five catties for one catty."
The rich and powerful envoy of Jie Japan directly shouted six catties for one catty.
No one spoke again.
The price is really too high. In the past, Tianzhu frosted sugar was sold for 300 yuan a catty, while Datang’s gray sugar was sold for 50 yuan per catty, which is a difference of six times. Datang’s coarse sugar can also be sold for 100 yuan per catty. Three times, even if this is only the wholesale price, the market retail price is higher, and the difference will not exceed five times.
And now, they actually called out six catties for one catty.
However, Qin Lang could see that these people were actually willing to spend a lot of money, and they really wanted to buy it back to study the secret method of this candy. If the quantity is small, it is nothing.
Qin Lang chuckled.
He didn't come here today to sell such a few catties of sugar.
"Very well, since Jieri has such sincerity, then I, Tang Dynasty, will not cherish my broom, and I will definitely give you this white sugar back. Just exchange six for one, and my Tang Dynasty will give you the frosted sugar that you paid tribute, how about it?"
The envoy of Jieri King didn't expect Qin Lang to have so much white sugar, so he thought about it, "Can I have half white sugar and half rock sugar?"
"Rock candy is more valuable. How about this, **** candy is exchanged for two, frosting sugar is exchanged for six, as for this rock candy, one is exchanged for twelve! Is it possible?"
"Dear Lord Yi, our Jieri Kingdom has brought five thousand catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar!"
"We can exchange as much as you want. Of course, if you don't want to exchange it, it doesn't matter, but the price of your sugar can't be estimated at the original three hundred catties per catty. You have also seen such good sugar. No one will care about your sugar, unless it is sold cheap and cheap!"
Qin Lang gave them two choices, exchange sugar for Qin Lang's sugar, or lower the price.
They are unwilling to sell at a reduced price.
"Okay, let's change."
In the end, they decided to replace the 2,400 catties of Tianzhu sugar with 200 catties of rock sugar, the 2,400 catties of Tianzhu frosted sugar with 400 catties of white granulated sugar, and the remaining 200 catties of Tianzhu frosted sugar with 100 catties of **** brown sugar. . The envoys from the Japanese Kingdom were also smart, knowing that high-end goods would be easier to sell and make money.
The other countries hesitated for a long time, and in the end they could only exchange the sugar according to the conditions of Jie Japan. If they did not exchange it, if Jie Japan exchanged this batch of sugar, it would be exclusive in Tianzhu, and it would definitely make a lot of money by then. earn.
The 12,000 catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar was supposed to be worth 3,600 guan, but now Qin Lang easily ate it without spending a penny.
Tianzhu countries exchanged Datang white sugar and rock sugar one after another, with the ratio of six for one and twelve for one, which undoubtedly made Qin Lang a lot of money.
After finalizing the contract, Qin Lang went out with a smile.
Turning around, I found Ma Zhou, the deputy envoy, "I have eaten all these frosted candies from the Tianzhu people."
When Ma Zhou understood what was going on, he couldn't help being extremely surprised.
"Unexpectedly, Saburo has mastered such a secret technique."
"Don't worry, I won't let the imperial court suffer. White sugar is exchanged for five, and rock sugar is exchanged for ten. I eat these Tianzhu candies from you. According to the negotiated terms, I will exchange them for six, and I will exchange them for ten for Tianzhu." People, the rest is the company's profit."
After passing this batch of sugar, the transshipment company can also make a lot of money.
Public is public, private is private.
Qin Lang initially considered whether to hand over this technology to the company and transfer it to the transshipment department, but after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that there was no benefit in doing so, and he might as well keep it for himself.
"This matter should be reported to His Majesty first." Ma Zhou reminded Qin Lang.
"Naturally, I'm a transfer envoy. Of course, this matter must be decided by His Majesty."
After receiving Qin Lang's memorial, Li Shimin was also very surprised, and then he saw the white sugar, rock sugar and brown sugar that came with the memorial.
After carefully comparing Tianzhu Tang, he had to sigh how powerful Qin Lang was.
The imperial court did not lose money, and they made a lot of money by turning their hands around.
Li Shimin also knew that Qin Lang's technology was very valuable, but he didn't want to grab it. But what Li Shimin didn't know was the real power of Qin Lang's technique. He didn't know that Qin Lang was actually an empty-handed white wolf who directly refined, decolorized and recrystallized sugar from Tianzhu people. The cost, and the cost of nothing.
If Li Shimin knew that Qin Lang could refine 8000-9000 catties of white sugar and several thousand catties of black **** candy by himself after eating 12,000 catties of Tianzhu sugar, without any cost, I'm afraid Li Shimin would not be so calm.
Twelve thousand catties of Tianzhu frosted sugar were transported by Qin Lang from the transfer treasury to Pingkangfang. He also asked people to buy all the Tianzhu frosted sugar that was available in the market, and even the gray sugar and rough sugar from Datang .
Overnight, everyone discovered that there was no sugar in Chang'an.
Sugar prices are rising steadily, but there is still a price but no market.
And just a few days later, a new sugar shop opened in the east and west cities of Chang'an.
Snow white frosting sugar, crystal clear rock sugar, rose brown sugar, **** brown sugar, osmanthus brown sugar, and brown sugar and other new products are on the market.
And the price of such good candy is even more astonishing.
Rock sugar is only 500 renminbi a catty, frosted sugar is only 300 renminbi a catty, brown sugar is only 100 renminbi a catty, **** candy is only 50 renminbi a catty...
This price, compared with the previous sugar price, does not seem to have changed much. After all, the previous good Tianzhu Frosted Sugar also sold for three hundred and one catties.
Some people are puzzled.
But this pricing is the result of Qin Lang's deliberation.
This is actually squeezing the market of Tianzhu frosting sugar, selling better Datang frosting sugar at the original price of Tianzhu frosting sugar. In this way, who will buy Tianzhu frosting sugar?
On the other hand, in fact, Qin Lang's sugar is mainly eaten from the hands of Tianzhu people. In addition, the original low-priced local sugar from Datang purchased from the market has now changed into a high-priced sugar. The profit is astonishing, and it can seize the market share, why not do it?
The Qin family's brown sugar is sold at the same price as the original coarse sugar, but the Qin family's brown sugar is undoubtedly of higher quality. Even sugar like **** sugar is better than the previous gray sugar.
It can be said that it completely crushes the sucrose currently on the market.
Sure enough, the market responded enthusiastically.
Although it is said that ordinary people can’t afford sugar, there are many extraordinary people in Chang’an. Even pharmacies have always used frosted sugar as a medicine to treat many diseases.
Qin Lang also intentionally imposed purchase restrictions and engaged in hunger marketing.
Build momentum.
Guo Gongtang’s name was unrivaled for a while, and Chang’an snapped it up.
The hundreds of catties of frosted sugar and rock sugar in the transshipment department also became a hot commodity. Li Shimin personally sent eunuchs to bring two hundred catties of frosted sugar and one hundred catties of rock sugar to the palace.
The only ones with more complicated feelings should be those Tianzhu businessmen. In the past, their candy came to Datang to make money as hard currency, but this year they failed.
But looking at the Tang Tang in their hands, several families looked forward to it again. Tang people are so eager to grab the candy, after it is shipped back to Tianzhu, it will definitely become a treasure, and even if it is shipped to Persia at that time, it will make a lot of money.
Some smart Tianzhu people even took the initiative to come to Qin Lang and ask for a reservation, planning to come to pick it up next time.
"For this, you have to find the transshipment department. There is a new Shibuya Yamen under the transshipment department. They are in charge of foreign trade. You need to place an order with them. If you want to make a reservation, you must pay a deposit first."
After frost sugar and rock sugar became popular, Qin Lang didn't think about eating alone.
He knows that eating alone is not good.
So now he divides the Qin family's candy into three, and sells one part for himself, under the brand of Guogong candy. The other one was sold to the imperial court transshipment department, which was actually the wholesale price, and the remaining one was sold to a business name of the wealthy and noble families in Beijing.
In short, everyone who has money makes money, and the Qin family can't monopolize the profits of this sugar market.
But as long as the Qin family firmly grasps this technology, they will still be the biggest holders of benefits.
Of course, this is also a win-win situation. After all, Qin Lang only has technology, and he has no raw materials. He cannot control sugarcane planting, primary processing, and transportation, so he has to cooperate with other companies to purchase their raw sugar.
Qin Lang has now built a new state-owned sugar workshop near the Qin Family Villa in Changlepo, responsible for processing sugar. The guards of the Qin family are strictly guarded to prevent anyone from spying on the secret method. Even the workers in the workshop are basically the old people of the Qin family, especially Qin Lang even turned the uncomplicated workshop into an assembly line operation. Master a process, divide it into several isolated workshops, prohibit inquiring about other people's processes, etc., and the core processes are completely operated by the most trusted people.
Hall of Liangyi.
Li Shimin drank rock sugar stewed pears while flipping through the report that Qin Lang presented.
The transshipment department is responsible for the reward, and the operation has been completed, and the result is gratifying. Without using the treasury's gold, silver, cash, and silk, Qin Lang made the Hu people very satisfied.
The various tributes paid by the Hu people, such as spices, ivory, rare birds and animals, slaves, etc., were exchanged by the Tang Dynasty with silk, satin, porcelain, Buddhist statues, Buddhist scriptures, etc., and Qin Lang exchanged these for the spices, exotic animals, etc. Yes, a big auction came directly.
There are indeed a lot of powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an. There are quite a few people who like these foreign gadgets, and there are many people who are chasing novelties, and many things like ivory pearls and rhino horns are not just gadgets, but have a lot of medicinal uses Equivalent.
For example, the Supreme Emperor sent people to take a lot of ivory rhino horn pearls, etc., as well as a lot of spices. The Supreme Emperor spent a lot of money and spent a lot of money.
The other families are also unambiguous, what kind of pepper, pearls, everyone is fighting for it.
As for those slaves, they are even more loved by them. As a rich and powerful family, there are no foreign slaves in the family, so they are ashamed to say hello to others.
In short, under Qin Lang's deliberate publicity, this auction was a success.
All the tributes from all parties, the transshipment department took off their hands and turned them into gold, silver and silk.
In essence, all kinds of silk fabrics and porcelain produced in the official workshop of the Shaofu Supervisor, as well as many Buddhist scriptures and statues confiscated by the court, were sold at a premium.
