Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were going back the day after tomorrow, so First Madame asked Yuezheng Xiao to get the wagon ready to drive them back, as well as the laborers whom they had bought.
She had the presents ready too, such as the lotus roots, and water chestnuts.
Yuezheng Xiao nodded with a smile, and asked his servants to do the preparations. He gave one batch of plain version of lipsticks boxes to Qiao Xuan, and he would deliver the limited version to her personally, when they were ready.
While they were talking, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan understood that after two weeks, Yuezheng Hong was going to head northwest with goods. So, they were all busy at the Yuezheng Mansion these days.
They prepared and counted the goods, prepared the convoy, and finally determined the treasurers and guards to follow. They checked and visited their families to see if everything was normal, and relocated their families… etc. These things were cumbersome and there were too many matters to deal with. Though they were not difficult, it could take a lot of time to straighten
things out.
As they were chatting, the Chief Manager and the Deputy Manager came over to pass on the message. The couple decided to leave, but Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “They must be talking about the tea business. You should stay because we may need your help with it.”
Yuezheng Hong nodded with a smile too. “True!”
The two managers were a little surprised, but they understood that these were the new suppliers for tea, thus saying nothing.
But what they did not know was that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were not ordinary suppliers. They were going to supply them with the most cherished tea and bring many profits to the tea business of the Yuezheng Family.
The tea business comprised more than 1/3 of the entire business of the family.
The two managers wanted to check how much tea leaves they should take along to the northwest.
They had a lot with them but the leaves turned rotten halfway. The Yuezheng Family always stuck to reputation and they would not process the rotten ones and pretend that they were new.
So, they had to cast them aside.
Therefore, the actual profits were very less with time and energy as well as other costs counted. They needed to earn 60% or more, so that people could be motivated to work harder.
Twenty percent of the profits could be earned even by small businesses.
After all, merchants were far away from their relatives’ hometown and traveled two to three thousand miles or even farther. One could imagine how hard it was. All kinds of accidents and emergencies would occur on the way, so if they could not earn much, who would want to join them?
The two managers meant that the weather wasn’t good and there was a lot of rain, so the tea leaves would not be easily preserved. They suggested cutting the volume down so the goods would not be affected by the weather.
If the rain kept pouring down, the goods would be destroyed again.
It would take a few months for the round trip to be completed. If the profits could not be earned, things would look bad.
Yuezheng Hong was silent.
The tea of the Yuezheng Family was supposed to be sold to the nomadic tribes outside the pass. What the nomadic tribes lacked most were tea and salt..
