Ch 241: Competition Among Acquaintances

After taking Mrs. Liu’s big fat rabbit, a rabbit meat dinner that night was inevitable.

In the following days, Bai Yi continued as usual, going up the mountain to water the spirit rain, irrigating the greenhouse, tending to the ginseng, and there were no other special events.

Oh, of course, except for chatting with Chu Tingting.

If Chu Tingting didn’t have business in Shen City! Bai Yi would have gone to town to find her long ago.

And these few days, Tian Fu’s business has also been very good, and the counter has been doing very well.

Online rumors about Bai Qing Zhai wine are also increasing, and some curious people even went directly to Bai Qing Zhai Village, and the result was, of course, that they bought some chickens, ducks, and geese before leaving.

Sigh! Unknowingly, it has also generated income for the village!

Now, if Tian Fu didn’t limit purchases every day, I’m afraid these thousand bottles of wine would have been sold out long ago.

Because this Bai Qing Zhai wine is really too popular, how popular is it? Well, let me tell you this, because of the purchase limit, it has supported many scalpers.

These scalpers queue up in front of the counter every day, and the price of 6,999 yuan, after passing through the hands of these scalpers, directly soars to 10,000 yuan.

And now the biggest beneficiary is the bar owner who bought the first 100 bottles. This guy directly priced it at 20,000 yuan at the bar. Although this price did block some people, it’s too childish for those who have money. What’s more, this Bai Qing Zhai wine is not just for show; it’s truly delicious, with a truly explosive taste.

With a good reputation and a veil of limited purchases, in just a few days, this Bai Qing Zhai wine has spread among the circles of Shen City’s rich second generation.

However, Tian Fu did not raise the price because of this, still maintaining the price of 6,999 yuan, which can be said to be very conscientious.

After all, Tian Fu considers the long-term perspective. While raising the price now can make money, it will definitely lose its reputation and even be labeled as a black-hearted merchant, which is very unfavorable for future development.

However, the explosive popularity of Bai Qing Zhai wine directly affected the sales of another high-end wine.

In particular, the market share of Black Ace Champagne has plummeted dramatically in just a few days.

Although Black Ace is about half the price of Bai Qing Zhai wine, it should be noted that the target customers of both wines are those wealthy second-generation rich kids.

People who can spend more than 3,000 yuan on wine usually won’t spend an extra 3,000, especially since the taste of Bai Qing Zhai wine is even better.

Nowadays, the most worried are the distributors of Black Ace.

However, things in the world are so coincidental; no one would have thought that the supplier of Black Ace in Shen City is actually Bai Yi and Tian Fu’s college classmate, Zhang Kai!

（If you can’t remember who Zhang Kai is, you can go and read chapter 143）

In a certain office, Zhang Kai angrily threw a stack of reports onto Pei Ming’s face.

（Pei Ming: Bai Yi and Tian Fu’s college classmate, Zhang Kai’s lackey. If you can’t remember, go back and read chapter 143 again.）

At this moment, Zhang Kai sat in his chair, his face extremely ugly, and said, “Bai Qing Zhai wine! What a broken name!”

It turned out that after the last gathering, Zhang Kai had his father pull some strings to obtain the provincial agency rights for Black Ace.

But he was also unlucky; on the very first day of obtaining the agency, Bai Qing Zhai wine was launched!

As the saying goes, it’s no coincidence that enemies meet.

Due to the emergence of Bai Qing Zhai wine, the previously well-selling Black Ace has been completely ignored!

In just one week, Zhang Kai has accumulated nearly 500 bottles of Black Ace. Even at 3,000 yuan per bottle, that’s 1.5 million yuan!

Because Zhang Kai is the general agent, he must also receive goods from national agents every day. Now that he can’t sell them, it means that his capital turnover is not working. One week has tied up 1.5 million yuan. At this rate, his family will go bankrupt in less than a month.

Bai Qing Zhai! Wine!

Bai Qing Zhai! Wine!

Sitting in his chair, Zhang Kai stared wide-eyed, thoughtfully muttering these two names.

“Sounds familiar!” Zhang Kai widened his eyes.

At this time, Pei Ming also tidied up the documents on the floor and said aggrievedly, “Bai Yi’s hometown is in Bai Qing Zhai Village.”

Hearing this, Zhang Kai slammed the table: “Humph, I said it sounded familiar. It’s that little white face’s hometown!”

After the last gathering, when Bai Yi took out the black card given by Chu Shixin, Zhang Kai thought that Bai Yi had become a gigolo.

And the fact that he had knelt down to Bai Yi last time was still in Zhang Kai’s heart. He swore that he would make Bai Yi kneel before him.

At this moment, a woman suddenly ran in, panting as she hurriedly said, “Manager Zhang, I’ve found out. This Bai Qing Zhai wine is being sold by a man named Tian Fu.”

Hearing this, Zhang Kai almost fell out of his chair.

“Who! Who did you say?”

The woman paused and said, “A man named Tian Fu. I have a picture here.”

Zhang Kai and Pei Ming quickly leaned in. When they saw that the person in the photo was their college classmate, they were both stunned.

“What! Is it this good-for-nothing?” Zhang Kai couldn’t believe this fact.

At this time, Pei Ming suddenly said, “I remember Guan Li’s family seems to have a winery! Now Guan Li and Tian Fu…”

“Humph! Another gigolo.” Actually, Zhang Kai was very unhappy. When he was in school, he had confessed to Guan Li, but he was rejected. In the end, she ended up with Tian Fu? This…

Zhang Kai never imagined that the school’s recognized good-for-nothing was now riding on his head and pooping on him. This was simply a disgrace, a great humiliation!

Taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Kai fiercely said, “Go, find out the bottom of this Bai Qing Zhai wine, and see who’s backing it! Damn it! A good-for-nothing dares to challenge me!”

Hearing Zhang Kai’s words, the woman and Pei Ming hurriedly went out to collect information.

They even made a trip to Bai Qing Zhai Village, and now there are countless news reports about Bai Qing Zhai wine, so it’s easy to collect some information.

In half a day, Pei Ming returned to report.

After listening to Pei Ming’s introduction, Zhang Kai sneered.

“It turns out to be a group of old farmers who partnered to build a factory, a bunch of rabble!”

At this moment, Pei Ming directly brought over a bottle of Bai Qing Zhai wine and said, “Don’t say it, this wine’s packaging is really good.”

Zhang Kai glanced at it.

“Trash, anyone can do this.”

“Brother Zhang, this wine is so popular online now! Do you think it’s the taste…”

Saying this, Pei Ming looked at Zhang Kai.

“Open it!” Zhang Kai said seriously.

Pei Ming quickly brought two glasses and opened the bottle of Bai Qing Zhai wine.

A strong aroma of wine wafted directly from the bottle mouth. The two sniffed their noses, revealing expressions of surprise.
