Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 133
"This... this is?" Shen Rong took the box with both hands, just opened a small gap, and was immediately blinded by the crystal clear inside.

I saw a palm-sized Buddha statue lying in this delicate brocade box lined with soft silk.

It's fine if it's just a Buddha statue, the key is that this Buddha statue is so crystal clear that its entire body is made of colored glaze!
"What a delicate glazed Buddha statue!" Shen Sen, who was standing by, couldn't help but exclaim.

Shen Rong tried his best to restrain the trembling in his hands, and gently took out the glazed Buddha statue.Now that the wind and rain had stopped suddenly in the sky, a ray of sunshine broke through the clouds and was shining on the Buddha statue in Shen Rong's hand.The whole body of the Buddha statue emits seven-color light, as if the gods and Buddhas have manifested themselves.

"Ah!" Shen Rong's old hands shook, and he almost threw the Buddha statue to the ground.Fortunately, Shen Sen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he grasped the Buddha statue firmly with both hands.The father and son let out a sigh of relief like the rest of their lives after two catastrophes.

"Your Highness, is the treasure taken out from the palace?" Shen Rong put the Buddha statue back into the box, and respectfully returned it to Zhu Su. "Although this object is very exquisite, it cannot be used for business in the palace."

"The Shen family really doesn't dare to take this risk, and hope that His Highness Fifth Highness Haihan..." Shen Rong said.

"Mr. Shen thought this was the treasure I stole from the palace?" Zhu Su sneered. "This king looks so like a prodigal son who steals treasures from the house and sells them off? This thing was made by my Huangzhuang. Mr. Shen, let's see how much this thing can sell for?"

"Fired it yourself?" Shen Rong was surprised.Shen Sen also suddenly thought of something, and asked: "It is recorded in the book that the court of the Song Dynasty could fire glazed cups, but there are many variegated colors in them and it cannot be crystal clear. Could it be that Your Highness has mastered a more perfect firing method?" ?”

Shen Rong was about to scold his son for being impolite, but Zhu Su waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay. Mr. Shen's guess is right, I have indeed mastered a more perfect firing method."

"This thing is not glass, I call it 'glass'. Yuanwai Shen thinks, how much is this thing worth selling?"

"Hmm. Such a crystal-clear Jade Buddha, and its ability to reveal the Buddha's face under the sun, if it is placed in a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, 500 taels must be more than enough... I wonder how much this object will cost?" Shen Rong asked.

"This number." Zhu Su stretched out five fingers.

"50 taels? Well, even if the shipping fee is excluded, this item will be seven or eight times as profitable." Shen Rong nodded in satisfaction.If so, this business can be done.

"Uh. I mean, five taels." Zhu Su scratched his head. He originally wanted to say five taels. After all, the raw material for burning glass is some worthless sand, so five taels is too much to say, but Thinking about the hard work of those disabled veterans in the glass kiln, their wages should be more calculated.

A glass Buddha is more than four taels of labor, which is not too much.

"Five...five taels?" The Shen family father and son were almost paralyzed again.A hundredfold profit!This is not doing business, this is stealing money!

He Shen Rong has been in business all his life, and he has never seen anything that can have a hundred times profit!

"I don't know, what is the output?" Shen Rong asked tremblingly.

"Huh? Yield?" Zhu Su thought for a while. "One month, you should be able to make forty or fifty statues."

"If the mold is not troublesome, it can be made faster."

Glass molds are indeed a troublesome thing. The steelmaking side has not yet touched the door, and cannot make suitable alloy glass molds.Lao Zhuang, a glass-burning veteran, led several veterans to keep trying, and finally found a mold made of river mud that could barely shape the glass solution.

Although it can only be used for one-time use, it is far inferior to the alloy mold that can be used repeatedly, but it is already a great breakthrough.

"Forty or fifty statues a month? Can it be faster?"

Shen Rong's eyeballs almost fell off.This kind of thing, which can be called a rare treasure, can actually be mass-produced!Moreover, the cost of a statue is only five taels?

The way he looked at Zhu Su changed.What kind of prince of the Zhu family is this? He is clearly a boy of good fortune!
However, after calming down a little, he still found the problem: "Your Highness, although this item is cherished, but... if there are too many, it may not be so valuable."

"If you want to sell this thing, I think it's better not to sell so much at once. If Your Highness is not short of money, if you sell this thing at a lower price, the profit will be more substantial."

Sure enough, he is a businessman who has been in business for a lifetime!I know the truth that rare things are precious.If this glass Buddha is sold alone, the high price of 500 taels is more than enough.But if forty or fifty pieces are sold together, it will be considered rare that one piece can be sold for 100 taels.

It is also for this reason that some people in later generations bought back a pair of identical antique vases and deliberately smashed one.Because one is broken, the other one becomes an orphan, which is even more valuable.

"Hehehe, you don't have to worry about Yuanwai Shen, everything is in my calculation." Seeing that Yuanwai Shen has something, Zhu Su also revealed his big plan to buy glass. "It doesn't have to be a Buddha statue. There is a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, but there is no need to arrange a statue of Guanyin? Otherwise, how can we know the sincerity of my people in respecting Master Guanyin?"

"With the statue of Avalokitesvara, the Eighteen Arhats also need it? There are also Ksitigarbha Buddha and Maitreya Buddha. Could it be that we don't have statues?"

"Buddhism is over, there is still Taoism. Sanqing Daozu, Wuliang Tianzun, who doesn't need a portrait?"

"If you like it, we can make it even bigger. If you sit in the living room with such a big glass Buddha, the sun will shine brightly. Who dares to say that this family is not blessed by gods?"

It doesn't matter if the gods are finished carving, now the half of the Three Kingdoms that I said has been spread in Yingtian Mansion, when the time comes, take advantage of the east wind of the Three Kingdoms to make glass statues of Liu Guanzhang, Xiahou brothers and other generals of the Three Kingdoms.You can also get a series of Wei, Shu and Wu, and the series of Eighteenth Route Princes and Fighting Dong.Sell ​​this thing as a collectible figure.

You bought Liu Bei, could you not buy Guan Zhang?After buying Guanzhang, is it possible that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are weaker than him?Now that you have bought so many, so many counselors in the Kingdom of Shu have gathered you all at once, why don't you let the monarch and his ministers be separated from each other?

The Three Kingdoms is over, we can continue to work on the Water Margin!After the Water Margin is over, you can also talk about Yue Quanzhuan, Tianlong Babu, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes...

With so many tricks, you don't have to worry about losing the high value of the glass.

After listening carefully to Zhu Su's words, the Shen family father and son were already stunned, unable to say a word for a long time.

After a long time, Shen Rong bowed his hands to Zhu Su: "...Your Highness is a great talent, I have already understood it."

This Fifth Highness is young, where did so many unscrupulous profiteers have such twists and turns in his stomach?
It's so dark!It's much darker than us!If the Fifth Highness had been born a few years earlier, what would happen to our Shen family?

There is no such thing as Shen Wansan in the world, it has already been changed to Zhu Wansan.

"Glass statues are just one of them." Zhu Su continued to speak without surprise. "My lord still has a lot of big deals in his hands. For example, soap that is ten times better than today's soap, wine with a rich aroma, perfume that is ten times better than today's rouge powder, energy A charcoal stove that burns charcoal in winter without the trouble of smoke..."

Every time he said a word, the wrinkles on Shen Rong's face jumped.He didn't doubt the authenticity of Zhu Su's words at all. It is impossible to burn such fine colored glaze with five taels of silver.Each of these things is taken out individually, and they are all existences that can make a wealthy businessman a wealthy businessman!
"Your Highness!" Before Zhu Su finished speaking, Shen Rong directly interrupted Zhu Su's narration.

"I wonder if His Highness would allow me to serve as a businessman."

"My Shen family, I would like to attach my highness's tail to serve as the saddle for His Highness King Wu!"
