Chapter 27 Cunning Rabbit 3 Cave

Chapter 27
Xiao Cheng felt a little heavy.

This is the sadness of the inferiors, they can only passively wait or accept, but have no power to change something.

If Xiao Cheng himself is one of the few people who really control the power in the court, even if he does not dare to make a [-]% guarantee, he still has some confidence to avoid such a thing as much as possible.

And now?

He can't do anything.

"Passive waiting is not my style, I have to do something!" Looking at Jiang Yingxue, Xiao Cheng said, "Then Tianxiang Pavilion must do something."

Jiang Yingxue was refreshed, "What does Erlang want me to do?"

"Once there is a war in the north, the business of Tianxiang Pavilion will definitely be greatly affected. Our business focus has always been on the northern regions. If the war does not go well and the war spreads to the inside, we will suffered a great loss.”

"What Erlang means, do we want to expand to the south?" Jiang Yingxue said: "In the past few years, we have mainly focused on the big northern cities such as Bianliang and Luoyang. In the south, the foundation is shallower."

"It's really time to open up the southern trade routes and occupy the southern market." Xiao Cheng said, "Although the north is still the center of the Song Dynasty, the development of the south in the past few decades is obvious to all, and there has long been rich. Just look at how much the court's wealth in the south has occupied over the years, and you can see it."

"Xiao Longtu is the three envoys, these things are naturally clear." Jiang Yingxue smiled. "However, if we want to enter the southern market, I'm afraid there are still a lot of tough battles to fight. There are already big companies in this area. If we want to get in, it will inevitably lead to a counterattack from the other side."

"Shopping malls are like battlefields, and competition is inevitable." Xiao Cheng said.

Jiang Yingxue was eager to try, and the brilliance of battle flickered in his eyes: "Just to see the means of the southern counterparts, but with our Tianxiang Pavilion's various incense-making techniques, as long as Erlang allows us to produce on a large scale and keep the price down, In a short period of time, they will definitely be beaten to pieces."

"The positioning of Tianxiang Pavilion is high-end." Xiao Teng categorically rejected Jiang Yingxue's intention. "We will do two lines, one is the control of the source of spices, and the other is the market for high-end fragrances. There is indeed a huge market for low-end fragrances, but we don't need to do it. Fighting price wars with others is hurting the enemy. Thousands, self-destructing [-] things. Besides, it will also create a large number of enemies, which is completely unnecessary."

"Erlang, it is impossible to enter the southern market peacefully."

"How is it not possible?" Xiao Cheng smiled slightly: "Tianxiang Pavilion is located in Bianliang and has an innate geographical advantage. This is the center of the Song Dynasty, and everything that is popular here is leading the trend of popularity in the world. In the south, the various spices and perfumes of our Tianxiang Pavilion are also very popular, right?"

"That's true!" Jiang Yingxue said proudly: "Especially the perfumes of various fragrances we make are priceless in the south. According to the hunger marketing formulated by Erlang, even in Bianliang, if you want to ask for Those of us who have a bottle of perfume have long been queuing up until next year, let alone those in the south? How can we handle the dignitaries and wealthy families in Bianliang?"

"Although the production is small, the profit is enough to offset the lack of our production." Xiao Cheng said: "You said, if we find a few cooperative businessmen in the south at this time, will he be very happy to cooperate with us? "

Jiang Yingxue was taken aback: "Erlang, the secret of making perfume is the core secret of our Tianxiang Pavilion. How can it be shared with others?"

"The most important thing, of course, cannot be shared with others, but sales are possible." Xiao Cheng spread his hands and said, "In the south, we naturally won't just find one. We produce technology, they produce the market, and everyone can share the money. ."

"What Erlang means, do you still cooperate with many?"

"Everyone earns money!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "You find three or five influential businessmen, and you can't cooperate with businessmen in the incense industry. The more people who cooperate, the Tianxiang Pavilion will maintain absolute control. The greater the chance, that as long as the plate is made big enough, there will be enough profit to satisfy the crowd.”

"Isn't Erlang's statement inconsistent? Didn't he just say that we only do high-end?"

"High-end is a gimmick." Xiao Cheng said: "What I really want to do is to monopolize the source of spices. Now all the spices in the north come from the Western Regions. We have absolute right to speak in this direction, but the south also has its own source of spices. Yes. If the sources of spices from both the north and the south can be controlled by us, then the entire spice market in the Song Dynasty is completely in our hands. Only by cultivating materials can there be huge profits.”

"So you want to find influential businessmen or gentry in the south to join?" Jiang Yingxue said.

"Naturally. With these local head snakes, it's better to do things!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Unite enough people, and then completely defeat our enemies."

"I understand what Erlang means, and I immediately started to act when I turned around. To be honest with Erlang, I was planning to open up the southern market after the spring of next year. Now that Erlang has spoken, I can do a great job." Jiang Yingxue said happily. "Erlang may transfer some more people with me?"

"I will arrange this. At that time, there will naturally be people who are proficient in the southern roads and have business experience, and some people with outstanding force will join in, you can rest assured." Xiao Cheng said: "It just takes a certain amount of time to come. Scheduling, after all, this matter is also my decision just now."

Jiang Yingxue never asked Xiao Cheng where these people came from, just as she never asked Xiao Cheng where those people who controlled the spices in the Western Regions came from.

Jiang Yingxue can be sure that Xiao Longtu and the three envoys must be unaware of what Xiao Cheng did.Otherwise, in the face of the three envoys, there is no need to spend a lot of time on these things. I am afraid that there are not many people who know what Xiao Cheng has done except himself.

Even Xiao Cheng's parents didn't know things, but he knew it, and he was one of the traders, which made Jiang Yingxue very happy.

"When you get to the south, you can buy some manor land properly after you stand firm." Xiao Cheng continued: "It's the mountains and other places, you can also buy some, and then I will notify you of the places you need. you."

"I know about buying a manor and buying land. After all, it's a property purchase, but what do we buy those mountains for?" Jiang Yingxue was puzzled, "We don't grow spices ourselves, and we can't grow them!"

"I don't hide it from you, all the places I want have good iron ore." Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Tian Gong Iron Art, I will go to the south next year."

"Is Erlang going to build another nest in the south?"

"Three caves of sly rabbits!" Xiao Cheng said: "I hope nothing happens, and the wife will go all the way smoothly, but in case something happens, the south is still safer."

"Erlang is so worried about the situation in the north?" Jiang Yingxue asked, "Didn't you say that Dalang-kun had a big victory a few days ago? The Liao people are just like that! I haven't heard of them over the years. Take advantage of it."

"My eldest brother, what they are dealing with is just the army under the head of the Liao people." Xiao Cheng said: "Do you know that the Liao people also have the Gong Branch Army and the Pi Shi Army! This is their regular army, the elites. What about the army! If they really want to fight against these elites, who will win and who will lose? In the past, the Liao people could not take advantage of it, so naturally they would not invest too much. Once they found an opportunity, they would use their robbers. How can you lose your temper easily?"

"It seems that we are too naive." Jiang Yingxue shook his head and sighed: "If Erlang hadn't told me separately, I thought the Liao people were vulnerable?"

"The Liao people's territory is larger than us, and the Liao people's army is more brave than us. These, the Song people in the borderlands have a deep understanding of this, but how many people know about it in places like Bianliang? And they really know these things. People who are in the midst of these things will not tell the truth of these things to the general public." Xiao Teng said, "I often correspond with my eldest brother, and he is also very worried! He often talks about our Song Dynasty, except for the Northern Frontier Army. Besides, the army in other places is really about to rot."

"Isn't there still the Fourth Army?"

With a snort, Xiao Cheng laughed: "Going to the Fourth Army? Just those teams that put on the guard of honor and juggle? The people are taller and sturdier than Zhou Zheng, the queue is neat, the juggling is good, and the slogan is shouted. It's loud, I really want them to face the Liao Cavalry, I'm afraid that if someone charges, they will be scared to wet their pants."

"Is it so unbearable?" Jiang Yingxue said in disbelief, "I also watched this year's Jinmingchi martial arts show. Whether it's navy, infantry, or cavalry, it's all excellent."

"It's just for a layman to watch the fun." Xiao Cheng said angrily: "I've seen those soldiers that my brother brought, and those people look at people with different eyes. I'm bold, and when they stare at them, I'm heartbroken. Have a cold war. Have you seen Wei Wu at home? It's been three years since he came to our house, and it's only normal now."

"Don't see what's wrong with him?"

"In the beginning, there was a servant at home who joked with him and patted him quietly in the back. Guess what happened?"

Jiang Yingxue shook her head: "It's impossible to kill someone, right?"

"That's not true." Xiao Cheng said: "It's just a subconscious reaction of him. The servant's hand was also broken. After being thrown over the shoulder, he was punched hard and broke several ribs. I lay on the bed for half a year. Wei San'er also watched Jin Mingchi's performance of martial arts, but he just sneered and didn't say anything. Later, I asked in a hurry and told me that if Da Song's army was like this, it would have been a long time ago. Let the Liao people hit Bianliang."

Jiang Yingxue also shivered.

"When will you have a chance, let's see the soldiers who have really returned from the battlefield. It won't take long for the eldest brother to return to Beijing to report his duties." Xiao Cheng said.
