Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 556: Master Hu's Bidding Meeting
Chapter 556: Master Hu's Bidding Meeting
It can be said that this workshop had no intention of covering up and had been causing a huge commotion openly from the very beginning.

It attracted countless people's attention right from the beginning.

Especially since Master Hu was not hiding at all and was just showing up at the construction site so openly, who wouldn't be interested?

Even if you don't ask about his business or livelihood, it would be good to get close to Mr. Hu.

As for Master Hu, he is very proactive when it comes to talking about things without any intention of hiding them.

No, it’s only been a few days.

"Prime Minister Hu and His Majesty have formed a private partnership to build a workshop outside Yingtian City!"

The news spread throughout the entire Yingtian Prefecture at an almost incredible speed in an instant, and continued to spread to the surrounding areas at an incredible speed.

Of course, along with this news, also spread the new thing called "glass" invented by Mr. Hu.

According to the confident statements of those who have seen the prototype, this thing is rare in the world and priceless.

And now, these two top bosses in the Ming Dynasty are planning to join forces to do this business.

After hearing the news, some of the imperial censors were already ready to make some moves to gain some fame.

But as luck would have it, he turned around and heard the news that Master Hu and Old Zhu were hugging each other and playing around on the construction site.

This scene was witnessed by more than one or two people.

But when everyone says this, you'd better believe it, otherwise you're a fool.

Any of these censors who had any brains at all quickly and silently tore up the manuscripts they had just written after staying up all night.

Didn’t write it!

How could they impeach Master Hu or Emperor Hongwu?

One was the brilliant founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was the former prime minister of the Ming Dynasty who had worked hard and made great contributions. How could they slander them?
They have deep respect for these two people.

What impeachment or not, those are all rumors!
Not stupid!
They knew very well how powerful the combination of the king and his minister was.

As long as these two people don't acknowledge it in black and white, it will just be a rumor.

So even if you use this matter to impeach them, you can't kill these two people.

But what if these two people get angry and want to bully someone?
Haha, one is an emperor who can decide life and death with a single word.

One is the former prime minister who cannot kill you directly, but because he has a lot of students and old friends, he can make you lose your office and title, and then make your whole family live in unrest.

Mr. Hu is usually surrounded by a group of people who want to curry his favor but can't find a way to do so.

Now that we have started to do business together with His Majesty, if we just open the door, even a fool would know that there will be too many people rushing to work for us.

Who wouldn't want to flatter two big guys?

Therefore, even though all the wealthy merchants in Yingtian City knew that Master Hu wanted to attract investors and make money, all the officials could only watch.

Not even one dared to come out and say that they were competing with the people for profit.

This made Master Hu, who had originally agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang that anyone who dared to jump out would be killed along with his entire family, particularly unsatisfied.

He had already enthusiastically prepared to be the villain, but in the end the protagonist didn't come on?

Isn't it a waste of his good intentions?
Gan!
What a waste of expression!

Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, didn't care at all. It was better if no one was looking for death. He was only thinking about making the money quickly.

And Mr. Hu's performance was indeed worthy of his previous promise to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Hu Yi confirmed the list of merchants who were interested in this matter, Master Hu once again urged the craftsmen in the workshop.

This thing must first ensure the normal production of the workshop. If the money is collected in large quantities, but there is not enough goods to be produced, it would be a slap in the face of Lao Zhu and Master Hu.

Exactly one month after Master Hu and Lao Zhu discussed the partnership, the "investment promotion meeting" attended by Master Hu himself finally began.

Mr. Hu’s main focus is honesty.

On the large table in the center of the scene, a row of glittering glassware was lined up on the black cloth-covered surface.

"Everyone, you can watch it yourself, or you can try it yourself."

"This thing is crisp and fragile, so just be careful when you play with it!"

"Everyone, try it first, and then we'll talk about the rest!"

Even though the people who came today are all wealthy businessmen who are in collusion with local officials and businessmen and are rampant in the village, in front of Master Hu, each one is more honest and humble than the other.

no way.

These people have been able to achieve what they have today.

Basically, they rely on the support of the local powerful families that have been passed down for many years, and then hook up with some nobles or bureaucrats, so that they can dominate a region and make a fortune.

However, no matter how much influence they have in their hometown or the local area, or the backers behind them, it is nonsense to face Master Hu.

Not to mention, this time they were actually facing not only Master Hu, but also the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just look at the eunuch standing aside with a blank expression on his face.

Song Li's appearance, even without saying a word, is actually worth more than a thousand words.

At this point, the long-circulated news that the emperor and his minister were doing business together was completely confirmed.

In the eyes of all the merchants, just seeing this scene was worth the trip.

After paying their respects to Mr. Hu and Song Li in a proper manner, all the wealthy merchants took turns to come to the table and carefully examine the beautiful glassware on the table.

These things were all made recently.

As the craftsmen adjusted their techniques and became more skilled, it was not only the output that improved, but also the quality!
Look, these glittering glassware on the table are no longer comparable to the simple glass plate at the beginning.

Vases, small bowls, teacups, and palm-sized mercury mirrors...

It can be said that the things displayed by Mr. Hu today are definitely of the best quality and the most eye-catching.

Of course, they are also the group with the most skilled craftsmanship and the highest output.

After all the wealthy merchants had looked at the exhibits with surprise on their faces, Master Hu finally spoke.

"Okay, now that you understand, let's talk about what happens next!"

"My rules are very simple. This business is divided into different regions!"

"Everyone wants to make money, and everyone knows that this product is easy to sell, so naturally they can't compete with each other by lowering prices."

"Doing so will undoubtedly harm the interests of everyone."

"Therefore, this official has decided to auction in different areas."

"Think of a price in your mind, then bid one by one. The one with the highest price will directly win the exclusive sales rights for a region."

"If others violate the rules and enter your area to sell goods afterwards, you can use all means to fight back!"

"Do you understand?"
