Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 330 None of them are fuel-efficient lamps (second update)
Immortal Residence in Beijing.

As early as last night, the most expensive private room in Shenxianju was reserved by a mysterious person.

Now there are several men dressed in brocade sitting in the luxurious private room. These people are not young, maybe they have lived a good life, and everyone's stomach is almost bulging.

"Jiang Yongmin, do you dare to covet this glass business?" The old man in charge asked a middle-aged businessman sitting in the corner of the room with a half-smile.

"Boss Xu, since the Duke is openly recruiting agents, why can't I come here?" Jiang Yongmin didn't show any weakness.

"That's right, everyone has a chance, it depends on who has enough wealth, don't hurt your friendship, hahaha." Another person patted his waist (belly) bag (skin).

"The few of us can be regarded as famous people in the capital. Why did Lord An make me wait here for him? Could this be trying to show us off?"

The other seemed a little unhappy.

"Brother Zichuan, don't say that. I heard that Mr. An Guogong has a bad temper, and he is not a good person!"

"Yo? I said why did you keep sneezing all the way, who is talking about my country?"

The door was pushed open with a creak, and An Guogong Liu Hongjian appeared on the stage under the protection of two servants.

After asking each other warmly and courteously, Liu Hongjian secretly started a large number of these five businessmen.

The person sitting next to him is said to be the most powerful in the capital. His surname is Wei Mingcai, and he is a big businessman in the capital specializing in restaurant business.

It is rumored that this Shenxianju also has shares with the surname Wei, not only that, but there are also many properties in Nanjing.

"Master Guo, we Ming people don't speak dark words, so you can just tell us, what are you going to do with this glass business?" Wei Cai bowed, and Zhang Yuandong, who was a little impatient, couldn't help but speak.

This guy is the nephew of Zhang Gongri, Marquis of Longping. Zhang Gongri has no children, but he only attaches great importance to this original building.

Using his uncle's name, this guy is considered a wealthy family in the capital and runs a wine making business.

"Well, my duke also likes cheerful people, and you are all busy people, so my duke doesn't delay too much.

Let's talk about the rules, the glass workshop of our country has already achieved mass production, and this so-called agency right means that our country will sell it to you at an ex-factory price.

Then how much and at what price you sell this batch of glass, the country's public will not ask.

In order for everyone to earn money as soon as possible, this agency right is exclusive, do you understand what the country is saying? After Liu Hongjian finished speaking, he picked up the tea beside the table and took a sip.

The five rich merchants still don't understand, it means that they are asked to bid for silver, and whoever pays more silver can monopolize this batch of glass business.

As for how big the market for this glass business is, that is up to their own abilities, and the eyes of the five businessmen became hot.

"Dare to ask the Lord, how much glass can your glass workshop produce every day, and how do you set the price?" Jiang Yongmin, who was sitting in the corner, asked in a low voice and respectful.

"Well, that's a good question. At present, my country's workshop can produce [-] square meters of glass per day, each square is two feet long and wide, and the price of each piece is tentatively set at ten taels.

At present, the national workshop is expanding, and the output may be doubled several times in the future! "Liu Hongjian also said roughly.

The price of [-] taels is set after careful consideration. Although glass is not a high-end item, it is rare and expensive. Who told you not to have it?

The price of ten taels means that the common people are out of touch, but glass is not just needed, and ordinary people can still live without glass.

Conversely, even if he set the price at one tael, what should not be affordable is still unaffordable.

And for those rich and powerful families, what is the difference between one tael and ten taels?

He didn't think about making money from the common people, but he wanted to make money from these rich households.

These guys are all very competitive. If Zhang San's family replaced all the window paper with glass, how could the Li Si's next door be able to bear it?

"Wei is willing to pay 20 taels to buy the exclusive agency right of this Laoshizi!" Wei Cai said arrogantly, patting his stomach.

Wouldn't the business be better if all the restaurants in his Beijing camp were replaced with glass so that the windows were clear and clean?

"Zhang paid 25 taels!" Zhang Yuandong was not to be outdone.

A few days ago, he went to Cuiyun Building for recreation, and the Huakui girl Wan'er there had such a mirror from An Guogong's glass workshop. He was keenly aware of the business opportunities contained in this mirror as soon as he saw it.

It is too wasteful to make such a large piece of glass into window paper. If it is divided into small pieces and made into mirrors, not to mention other things, it is just a small mirror, which is estimated to be worth several taels.

"40 taels!" Said Liu Wei, who was sitting next to Zhang Yuandong, who knew the value of the glass.

"What? Liu, are you crazy? Just increase the price by 15 taels, how can you increase the price like this?" Wei Cai became popular all of a sudden, and you are not such a prodigal if you have money?

"Hmph, the old man has money at home, so I need you to teach me how to spend it?" Liu Wei scoffed at Wei Cai's accusation, 40 taels was considered bankrupt for him.

But there is no way, since the business route in Shanxi was cut off, and the imperial court now buys grain directly from Zheng Zhilong, his Liu family doesn't want to find a way out, it's really nothing.

"45 taels!" Another voice sounded, the voice was a little bit girly, and Liu Hongjian frowned.

Since the glass business is openly recruiting agents, it is natural that the highest bidder wins. The five people who can come here must have stood out from the many businessmen who coveted this business.

And the one who shouted out 45 taels was a middle-aged man named Huang Du. This guy seemed a little hypocritical, it is said that this guy was in the brothel business...

"50 taels! You sick and consumptive man, you are so courageous!" Wei Cai was very unimpressed with this skin and meat business guy, although he himself often went to other people's scenes to hang out.

But many people are like this. On the surface, they sneer at this, but in their hearts they are happy.

"Hey, surnamed Wei, are you threatening someone?" Liu Hongjian didn't care what you were doing, anyone who dared to stop others from raising prices would be making things difficult for him.

"55 taels!" Liu Wei was not to be outdone, but his face was gloomy, and he might have reached his limit.

"58 taels!" Huang Du also seemed to be struggling.

"60 taels!" Jiang Yongmin, who had been sitting by the side without speaking, said suddenly.

"Jiang, do you have so much money? Are you afraid of killing you?" Wei Cai sarcastically said that the person surnamed Jiang was the one he was least afraid of.

Because including him, everyone in the room has big figures supporting the scene behind them, and only this Jiang is an outlier.

If this guy dares to fight with him, he, Wei Cai, has plenty of means to ruin this Jiang family.

"My surname is Wei, I have tolerated you for a long time, you go out to my country!"
