I'm a marquis in Datang

Lin Changhe said: "Then what should we do?"

Cai Bida said: "Just say that when we left, Du Qi not only wooed tea merchants, cut off our way, and ruined our reputation, but also slandered us in private, saying that we took away the secret recipe of frying tea, which made many tea merchants. Do not believe our word, so that it is difficult to open the channel."

That's the addition of a steal recipe.

But this matter is extremely important.

After Lin Changhe heard it, he said, "What if the crown prince doesn't believe what you said?"

Cai Bida smiled, and said: "The specifics are naturally subject to the real thing. Our tea, taste and

The tea leaves of No. [-] Tea in the World are actually pretty much the same.I just need to buy some tea leaves from No. [-] tea in the world, and then bring our tea leaves, and ask His Royal Highness to comment. Naturally, we can know that our tea leaves are not bad. "

After a pause, Cai Bida continued: "As for him not believing it, that's impossible. Because the prince can only rely on us now, he will definitely believe it."

Lin Changhe gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Shopkeeper Cai, you still have a way."

Cai Bida laughed and said, "What can I do? Shopkeeper Lin reminded me well. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of such a strategy. That being the case, the matter is settled like this. Today's weather is very late, so it is not suitable for Go to the East Palace to visit. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince, explain the current predicament, and ask the Crown Prince to help."

Lin Changhe nodded and agreed.

The next day, early in the morning.

Cai Bida opened the tea shop of No. [-] Tea House and opened the door for business.Because it was still early, he was worried that it was too early to go, Prince Li Jiancheng hadn't gotten up yet, so he stayed in the tea shop for the time being.

When the sun was three poles high, Cai Bida took a carriage and went straight to the East Palace.As soon as he arrived outside the prince's mansion in the East Palace, he asked the porter at the door to report the news.Not long after, the concierge came out again, and took Cai Bida to the study.

Cai Bida entered the study, and after seeing Li Jiancheng, he felt a little nervous in his heart.

Although he is a long-sleeved businessman who is good at dancing, he treats people well and has met many big shots.However, Cai Bida

It was also the first time to see Li Jiancheng as the crown prince of a country, and it was natural to be nervous.

"Villain Cai Bida, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Cai Bida lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground with a respectful look.

Li Jiancheng said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

After Cai Bida stood up, he stood below a little cautiously.Cai Bida, who was originally good at dancing with long sleeves, found it difficult to let go of his feet at this moment, and was very restrained.After all, the person in front of him is the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of a country.

Li Jiancheng looked at the cautious Cai Bida, but shook his head in his heart.Anyway, this Cai Bida was trained by Du Qi

.Unexpectedly, she was so timid and cowering, without the slightest bit of Du Qi's demeanor.

However, Li Jiancheng had an expectant look on his face.

He expects the tea house to make money.

Because Li Jiancheng is now the prince, he has to manage everything, and he has to spend money everywhere, which is a lot of expenses.He wants to win over the courtiers, and Dabi's expenses are inevitable, so Li Jiancheng urgently needs a way of making money.

For Li Jiancheng, recruiting Cai Bida to run the No. [-] Tea House is his way to make money.

Li Jiancheng didn't scare Cai Bida either, so he put on a smiling face and asked calmly, "Cai Bida, what's the important thing that you're coming to the East Palace now?"

Cai Bida said: "There is indeed something important to report."

Li Jiancheng took advantage of the situation and said, "Could it be that the No. [-] Tea House has been a great success since its operation?"

Cai Bida's expression froze immediately.

His first tea house, not to mention a great success, even barely made it back.He is not here to announce the good news, but to ask Li Jiancheng for help.

Cai Bida took a deep breath and said: "His Royal Highness, I am incompetent and failed to manage the No. [-] Tea House. Today's No. [-] Tea House is in very bad condition, and even the business is very flat. Except for some loose tea, There are very few large orders."

"what?"

Li Jiancheng discussed with his brows, showing a look of surprise.

There was a hint of anger in his tone.

He spent a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to recruit Cai Bida and others to do things.But now, the business of this No. [-] tea house is bleak, and things have not been done properly, so that Li Jiancheng's heart is already full of dissatisfaction.

The smile on Li Jiancheng's face was restrained, and when he looked at Cai Bida, his expression was already more serious.

Chapter 145 Li Jiancheng's Anger

Li Jiancheng's anger

With an angry expression on his face, Li Jiancheng scolded: "Cai Bida, the crown prince has given you such a generous treatment, so that you and the rest of the people have no worries about food, clothing, and honor. However, you have failed to fulfill the entrustment of the crown prince. What's the use?"

There was more murderous intent in his tone.

After Cai Bida noticed Li Jiancheng's anger, he quickly explained: "His Royal Highness, please allow the villain to report. There is a reason for the poor business of the No. [-] Tea House."

Li Jiancheng said: "What is the reason?"

Cai Bida immediately explained: "The reason is that Du Qiheng blocked it and secretly ruined the reputation of the tea house. As a result, when I went to visit the tea merchants in Chang'an City, all of them, without exception, were unwilling to buy the No. [-] tea house. of tea."

"Is there such a thing?"

After Li Jiancheng heard it, he became even more angry.

Originally, Li Jiancheng had a deep hatred for Du Qi, and wished to kill Du Qi quickly.Now when he heard Cai Bida's words, the hatred towards Du Qi sprang up, and it was hard to calm down his anger.

He wanted to make money, but Du Qi made trouble.

This is to find fault!

Facing Li Jiancheng, Cai Bida was under a lot of pressure. He was a little flustered, and said in a hurry: "Your Highness, this is really the case. Du Qi specially sent his newly appointed sales manager, Cai Youde, to lobby the tea merchants one by one, saying that I poached him. Everyone under his command is treacherous and ungrateful."

"Businessmen, the most important thing is reputation."

"Because of Du Qi's influence, many big businessmen in Chang'an City don't trust me at all and are unwilling to cooperate with our No. [-] Tea House, so I run into walls everywhere."

Cai Bida gritted his teeth and continued: "In addition, although our tea has the name of the No. [-] tea house, even if we are willing to lower the price, such high-quality and cheap tea, they are all because of Du Qi. willing to

We work together.Du Qi now monopolizes the tea in Chang'an, and prevents anyone from cooperating with us. "

"Bastard!"

After Li Jiancheng heard this, he became angry again.

He didn't expect that Du Qi would be so hateful, secretly obstructing his plan to make money.

But Li Jiancheng thought about it again, and he suddenly said: "You mentioned just now that when you left No. [-] Tea in the World, you hollowed out all the shopkeepers under Du Qi's command. These people are Du Qi's backbone."
