Chapter 20: Brewing High-Concentration Wine
(The previous chapter has been modified)
Three days later, Ye Lingling handed Ye Wuyi a "plan".
Ye Wuwei couldn't help but sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was not inferior to that of modern people. Ye Lingling had never learned business management, but the business plan she wrote was more comprehensive and complete than Ye Wuwei's.
It covers all aspects, including the reasons for store location, traffic flow, employment, store rent, store decoration, promotional plans and capital utilization.
At least Ye Wuwei couldn't imagine it to be so comprehensive.
This also made Ye Wuwei certain that Ye Lingling was a rare business talent, and gave him more confidence in the future business.
According to Ye Lingling's funding plan:
It takes 750 taels of silver to open a store in the early stage. Ye Lingling has 150 taels of silver, Xiaohe also contributes 150 taels of silver, and the remaining 450 taels are contributed by Ye Wuwei.
Calculated based on the proportion of investment, Ye Wuwei holds 60% of the shares, Ye Lingling and Xiaohe each hold 20% of the shares.
After reading Ye Lingling's plan, Ye Wuwei readily gave Ye Lingling four hundred and fifty taels of silver:
"Lingling, you'll need to run and manage the shop from now on, so I'll only own 40% of the shares. The rest of the money will be considered a loan."
Ye Lingling was deeply moved: "Brother Ye, I will definitely not let you lose money."
Finally, at Ye Lingling's insistence, Ye Wuwei held 50% of the shares, Ye Lingling held 30% of the shares, and Xiaohe held 20% of the shares.
……
After Ye Lingling talked to Ye Wuwei about running the soap business, Ye Wuwei didn't take it too seriously and still stayed in the workshop every day to study glass making with the craftsmen.
That day, the wine shop sent someone over:
"Sir, the winery has brewed several kinds of high-concentration wines. The owner invites you to come over and try the flavors."
Ye Wuwei dropped what he was doing and went to the winery.
From a distance, a rich aroma of wine floats in the air.
Ye Wuwei took a deep breath: Yes, this is the aroma of wine!
It seems that high-concentration liquor has been brewed, but I don’t know how it tastes.
The owner of the winery greeted Ye Wuwei with a smile on his face:
"Master Ye, we have distilled, aged, blended and flavored the wine according to the method you mentioned. Please try the taste."
There were more than a dozen jars of wine and more than a dozen wine glasses on the table, and a circle of people stood around them.
The owner poured a glass of wine from each jar and said, "Master Ye, please."
Ye Wuwei picked up the first glass of wine and took a sip. It had an elegant aroma and a rich and mellow taste, not inferior to a certain modern brand of high-end liquor.
Ye Wuwei picked up the second glass of wine and took a sip. It was mellow and long-lasting with a lasting sweetness. What a great wine!
Ye Wuwei tried all of these dozen kinds of wine. Each wine has its own flavor, taste and aroma. They are all good wines, and their quality is not inferior to modern high-end liquors. It all depends on personal preference.
Ye Wuwei could not help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients once again.
If these craftsmen were in modern times, they would all be high-end technical talents and would be the targets of high-salary competition among companies.
It’s a pity that they were born in ancient times. Not only did they receive little compensation, but they were not free people.
However, they have such advanced wine-making technology that even if the distillation method is learned by others, they are not worried that the wine they brew will not have a market.
Ye Wuwei thought to himself: He must try his best to get more compensation for them.
"I think these dozen or so kinds of wine are all good. Who brewed them?"
The owner pointed at three people and said, "These three brewed it."
Ye Wuwei said to the master, "Take these three people and these dozen jars of wine with you and go to Prince Qi's mansion with me so that the prince can taste it himself."
The abbot was overjoyed and immediately asked the three men to load the wine onto the carriage.
The gatekeepers at Prince Qi's Mansion had long remembered Ye Wuwei. When they saw Ye Wuwei coming in with his men, they not only did not stop him, but also greeted him warmly.
Ye Wuwei took the winery owner and several others and went directly to the courtyard where Qi Wushuang lived.
It was the first time for the abbot and his companions to enter Prince Qi's Mansion. They were quite cautious and just followed Ye Wuwei quietly, not daring to look around.
When they reached the middle of the courtyard, Ye Wuwei said to the monks, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and see if the prince is busy."
The abbot quickly agreed.
Then the abbot and his companions watched Ye Wuwei walk in with a swagger, without even asking anyone to announce it.
In the room, Qi Wushuang was rubbing his temples.
Today I received a letter from General Chu, saying that the New Year is coming soon, and his soldiers have not received their salaries, let alone New Year supplies. He asked Qi Wushuang if he could support him with "some" silver.
It is said to be "some" taels of silver, but the total amount is 300,000 taels of silver.
There are still 300,000 taels of silver in the Andu treasury, but if it is all given to General Chu, Andu’s expenses for next month will become a problem.
But General Chu couldn't just ignore it.
When Ye Wuyi entered the room, he saw Qi Wushuang rubbing his temples and asked, "What's wrong? You have a headache again?"
Qi Wushuang handed General Chu's letter to Ye Wuwei and said, "Read it yourself."
After reading the letter, Ye Wuwei was shocked: Maintaining an army is so expensive!
Three hundred thousand taels of silver a month is equivalent to more than 200 million in modern times. No wonder Qi Wushuang has a headache.
"Don't worry about the headaches yet. I brought some good wine."
After saying this, Ye Wuwei walked to the gate and said to the monks standing in the yard, "Bring in the wine."
After the abbot and his companions entered the room, Qi Wushuang also smelled the aroma of wine.
Ye Wuwei looked at the embarrassed monks and said, "Pour some wine for the prince."
The abbot looked at Qi Wushuang, and seeing that Qi Wushuang did not refuse, he began to pour the wine carefully.
Ye Wuwei pointed at the dozen glasses of wine on the table and said:
"I've tried every kind of wine, and they all have their own merits. Why don't you try them and see which one you like?"
Qi Wushuang reached out to take the first glass of wine. Chu Fuchi winked at Xiao Dengzi beside him, and Xiao Dengzi quickly took out a silver needle to test the poison.
Ye Wuwei thought to himself: He forgot about testing the poison. Qi Wushuang is not an ordinary person.
Ye Wuwei reached out to stop Xiao Dengzi, "The silver needle test for poison is unreliable. I will test the poison for the prince."
After saying that, Ye Wuwei picked up the first glass and drank it, then filled the glass again: "Your Highness, drink it."
Xiao Dengzi looked at Qi Wushuang, and Qi Wushuang said, "It's okay, you can leave."
Qi Wushuang picked up the wine Ye Wuwei poured and drank it: "Good wine! Pour another glass."
Ye Wuwei picked up the wine jar and poured another glass for Qi Wushuang: "There are more than a dozen kinds of wine, drink slowly."
Qi Wushuang listened to Ye Wuwei's suggestion and drank another glass of wine of this flavor and then stopped drinking.
Ye Wuwei drank another glass of the second kind of wine before filling Qi Wushuang's glass.
Qi Wushuang asked: "Aren't you afraid of poison?"
"You won't believe me if I tell you this, but I have a very good tongue. I can taste poison in the wine."
Ye Wuwei had received special training in his previous life and could indeed tell if food was poisonous.
Not only can you taste the poison, but you can also distinguish many poisons by smelling them and looking at their colors.
But Ye Wuwei did not say these words.
Next, Qi Wushuang didn't let Ye Wuwei test the poison for him, but Ye Wuwei pretended not to hear and continued to drink the first glass of wine.
