Chapter 597 Investment Ideas
The growth cycle of tea trees is actually different for different varieties, and at the same time, artificially cultivated ones are also different from wild ones.
Different tea leaves are divided into spring tea, summer tea and autumn tea. Spring tea and summer tea are the most common. It is currently autumn in Ningcheng City, so these tea leaves are still in a growth stage.
Su Ming couldn't judge the quality of this tea tree through these green tea trees, and Su Ming had no research on this, so he asked: "Have you ever drank this tea? How is the taste and taste?"
"As someone who grew up in Liuxia Village, how could I never drink Guanyin tea?"
Xia Qingchan smiled and then said: "Almost every household in Liuxia Village used to grow tea and even make a living from it. You can tell from the tea trees all over the mountain."
"So in our Liuxia Village, almost every house has Guanyin tea, and drinking tea is a common thing, but I usually drink less."
As a girl, Xia Qingchan was really not very fond of tea, so Xia Qingchan said, "But almost everyone like my father and others think Guanyin tea is delicious."
"I still remember that when I came back during the Chinese New Year last year, I paid a friend to bring a can of the best West Lake Longjing tea from Suzhou and Hangzhou. My father took two sips and said it was not as good as Guanyin tea."
Xia Qingchan continued: "At that time, he complained that I was spending money indiscriminately, and he didn't know if Guanyin tea was really that delicious."
Su Ming still underestimated the popularity of Guanyin tea in Liuxia Village. Basically every household grows and drinks tea because of the unique geographical environment here.
If you want to grow other things, it is not easy to grow. Only tea leaves can survive and grow in this alkaline soil. Over time, you have developed the habit of growing tea leaves.
Su Ming nodded after hearing this. Since he gave Guanyin Tea such a high evaluation, Su Ming felt that this tea should be about the same. As for whether it was better than West Lake Longjing, Su Ming didn't know.
So Su Ming asked strangely: "According to you, this tea should taste good, but why have I never heard of its name?"
To be honest, this is the local tea in Ningcheng City. I shouldn't have never heard of it. Su Ming thought about it and realized that he had never seen this kind of tea in the market.
When it comes to this issue, Xia Qingchan is quite familiar with it and said directly: "Although this tea tastes good, it is indeed not famous and has no profit value."
"Because this place once missed a good opportunity to attract investment. In fact, these teas are a good development resource for our Liuxia Village, but the previous leaders were short-sighted and missed a great opportunity."
"If you want to attract investment now, no one dares to come here. Think about it, Liuxia Village is close to Ningcheng. With Ningcheng's current development speed, if you develop and set up a factory here, I'm afraid there will be various costs. It’s very high.”
"The local villagers don't know the value of the brand. They only know that after picking the tea, they go directly to the market to exchange for some money. In fact, the intermediate profit is very low."
As a university graduate student, Xia Qingchan has a relatively thorough understanding of these issues. The Guanyin tea in Liuxia Village is simply because no one makes good use of it, which leads to the current situation.
Su Ming couldn't help but feel something in her heart after hearing this. She seemed to have realized something. Guanyin Tea was currently in a very embarrassing situation and lacked corresponding investment.
In other words, if someone can invest in Guanyin Tea and make its brand famous, it might be a good business opportunity.
Teas such as Maofeng, Longjing, and Tieguanyin may not be any better than other teas, but they focus on developing brands. Once the brands are established, they will not have to worry about sales in the future.
So Su Ming said: "Is it okay to invest in this Guanyin tea now? What is the attitude of the leaders in your village and town?"
"Su Ming, don't you want to invest?"
Xia Qingchan was stunned for a moment, then persuaded: "Su Ming, you'd better not take this risk.
The current costs in Ningcheng City are too high. "
"In addition, tea has missed its best opportunity for development. If you invest in Guanyin tea at this time, you will most likely lose money."
Xia Qingchan's worries are not unreasonable. The current tea market is no longer what it was a decade or two ago. The current market has gradually become saturated.
It is almost impossible to develop an unknown tea business. This is why it has not found investors for many years.
Su Ming smiled and was not very worried. Since he asked this question, he was certain that he could develop this Guanyin Tea.
So Su Ming deliberately evaded the important and said, "I'm just asking, it's impossible to want to invest all of a sudden."
"By the way, do you have Guanyin tea at home? If so, take me back to try it." At this time, Su Ming no longer wanted to continue climbing, and his heart was filled with Guanyin tea.
Xia Qingchan said immediately: "No problem, we don't have many other things in Liuxia Village, but almost every household has tea."
————————————
After bringing Su Ming back home, Xia Qingchan shouted to Liu Fang: "Mom, make some Guanyin tea for Su Ming to drink. He wants to try it."
"Hello————"
Liu Fang was stunned for a moment. Originally, she really wanted to serve Su Ming with Guanyin tea, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that Su Ming, a young man, wouldn't be used to drinking it, so she stopped making tea. Unexpectedly, Su Ming took the initiative to drink tea.
As a rural woman, Liu Fang naturally does not understand the professional tea-making routines, and the method of making tea is also very simple. Like most people, she just puts the tea leaves in a glass and pours boiling water into it.
"Su Ming, please try it. This is the new tea picked in the first half of today."
After Liu Fang made the tea, she handed the glass to Su Ming with both hands and said, "Be careful because it will burn your hands!"
"Thank you, aunt."
After Su Ming took the cup of tea, it was so hot that he couldn't drink it right away, and the tea leaves hadn't been brewed yet.
After about a few minutes, Su Ming could see that the tea leaves in the glass had scattered. After the green tea leaves were brewed, they were transparent and bright in color.
Moreover, the tea looks extremely clear, without any suppression in the middle. Just looking at it gives people a pleasant feeling.
Su Ming knew that this was the difference between good tea and poor quality tea. After the poor quality tea was brewed, the tea was turbid, incomparable to the green and transparent cup of Guanyin tea in front of her.
Just by looking at it, the idea of investing in Su Ming's mind was already active.
