The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Song Ming sorted out his thoughts and said, "Let ’s say that tea is like porcelain. In ancient times, Europeans had to drink tea and could only import it from China. In 1610, the Dutch East India Company imported a large amount of China from China for the first time. However, due to the limitation of freight capacity at that time, the so-called large quantity was also limited.

Even when the Dutch imported tea at that time, they did not know what the tea was used for. Most of them put the tea in a pharmacy and sold it as a herbal medicine from the mysterious east.

There were even two theories at the time, one was that tea was a poison, and the other was that tea was a precious drink. Both sides argued endlessly.

Even so, tea is precious because of its small quantity, and the price is as high as 80 guilders per pound. You know, this is still a tariff-free price. If you add tariffs, the absolute price is higher than gold.

Later, I thought that a university professor published a book called "Tea, Coffee, and Chocolate." This book popularized the tea culture for Europeans. Suddenly, tea began to explode in Europe.

The nobles are arty and drink tea, the upstarts imitate the nobles, and the poor look to ...

At that time, the popularity of tea in Europe was unavailable, and it had to be bought at auction houses.

Even so, tea is a very tight commodity in Europe, where supply is in short supply and prices have skyrocketed.

Under profitability, major companies and fleets came to China to purchase tea.

Even so, tea is still very expensive.

With the spread of tea culture, countries M and E also came to buy tea.

At that time, the rise of country Y, the sun swept across the ocean, and occupied all the black teas of Huaxia at that time.

Country M followed suit, sweeping green tea.

Under the circumstances that neither black tea nor green tea was available, Country E even spared the brick tea at that time, swept it away and sold it back to China.

Even so, with the spread of tea, more and more people joined the army of drinking tea. Country Y soon discovered that imported black tea alone could not meet the requirements of the people. So I increased the amount of green tea. At the end, I imported even brick tea.

At that time, there was a saying that foreigners plundered real gold and silver with large smoke, and Huaxia plundered real gold and silver with tea and ceramics.

Until one day, country M knocked on the door of country R. People in country M suddenly discovered that this humble place had a huge tea industry!

So the tea of ​​country R began to enter the market.

The tea of ​​country R started from the Tang Dynasty. When coming to Huaxia Nagong every year, the tea species sought were carefully cultivated. In other words, the tea in country R is basically our Chinese tea, which is not much different. Even the methods of frying and making tea were learned from Huaxia.

With the emergence of country R, ​​Huaxia's monopoly position on tea was broken. In addition, at that time, the Chinese people were not upset, because the tea was hot, so in order to sell more money, they should be recharged, and the lack of two pounds was also frequent hair.

As a result, word of mouth in Europe is worse every day.

People from country R sent people to Europe for inspection, research, and after being fully prepared, they entered the European market with an honest and trustworthy positioning of fine tea.

The Europeans immediately put themselves into the arms of country R and abandoned Chinese tea.

Since then, the tea of ​​country R has entered the high-end aristocratic market, and the price is higher than gold.

The Chinese tea, however, has been reduced to a low-end market and cannot be sold at a price.

This is nothing, I don't fight for it, no wonder others are smart.

We Chinese are not people who can't afford to lose, just fall from where to rise.

Until now, Chinese tea makers have been working hard to return to the high-end market, and in fact have already achieved great results.

We are working hard to use our strength to fight back what belongs to us.

But while we are all working hard, some people are willing to be misbehaving and be dogs! "

Hearing this, Tang Chen gave a subconscious glance at the money boss.

Song Mingdao: "Yes, that's the leader he brought. Eight years ago, people from R came to Huaxia to open a tea commerce association. Everyone went. The smell of gunpowder on the scene was very strong. The largest tea maker in R country was even more arrogant than the Rui family. : In the next ten years, Huaxia will have no tea!

At that time, my old man was on fire, got up and argued with him, and taught him what is tea.

The tea ceremony was contested on both sides, and the tea was contested. As a result, we lost on the tea ceremony and we won on the tea.

This is a long face for Chinese tea makers.

After all, tea ceremony is good, but at its core, tea is good.

After all, tea is sold, not tea ceremony.

When tea is ready, it means that the high-end market is beckoning to us.

The people from Bi Rui's house went away sloppy, and we thought it was done.

I never imagined that today, eight years later, Bi Ruishan is back again. This time, it is not a tea chamber, but a challenge! Challenges like eight years ago, challenges for tea ceremony and tea products. "

Tang Chen wondered, and said, "What does this have to do with Mr. Qian?"

Song Ming was furious: "Just yesterday, I heard the news that the Bi Rui family dare to kill back because they bought the tea species we used to win the tea from boss Qian eight years ago! For the money, Qian Tongming stole our precious tea and sold it to people in R country! At the same time, he is now the largest agent of the Bi Rui family in China. Do you say such people are hateable? "

When Tang Chen heard it, the boss with glaring eyes angered, "Isn't this just a traitor?"

Song Ming nodded: "The traitor of that year can also be said to be for survival, afraid of death, as a last resort. But he, huh ... there is a dog in his bones!"

Tang Chen looked at Tang's confused father and asked, "Master, do you know this?"

Tang confused and laughed: "I know the competition and the tea sales are not clear to the teacher. Then again, should Bi Ruishan and Huaxia match be held in three days?"

Song Ming nodded and said, "Yes."

Speaking of this, Song Ming sighed: "This time the Bi Rui family was prepared. I heard that they used our carefully cultivated tea varieties to carry out targeted, genetic adjustments and developed Bi Ruizun tea. Ruizun tea is much better than the seven-inch incense we entered eight years ago, and the best tea in our hand is only a little better than the seven-inch incense. I am afraid that we will lose this game. "

Tang Chen frowned: "Genetic adjustment? That Bi Ruizun tea is not natural, but artificial?"

Song Mingdao: "Yes."

Tang Chen said, "This ... Master, don't you say that the best tea is of natural origin? No one can be sure if the tea has side effects by artificially adjusting genes?"

Tang confused: "Of course, the best tea is derived from nature. In fact, artificial adjustment of genes, good or bad, is not recognized in the high-end market. Ms. Song, is your news reliable?"
