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

Chapter 557: The Glass Products Factory Started off Smoothly

Chapter 557: The Glass Products Factory Started off Smoothly

The bidding event organized by Mr. Hu was actually not a rare event.

For all businessmen, this bidding method has actually been used by them a long time ago.

What was really rare was that Master Hu let them compete in different regions from the very beginning.

There are both good and bad sides to this matter.

The advantage is naturally that everyone has rules, and anyone who breaks the rules will be punished.

As for the downside, they originally thought that they would just have to pay for the purchase price, but now it seems that they have to pay a large sum before they even start purchasing.

But in the opinion of Song Li who was standing aside, this was the brilliance of Master Hu.

They are all unproductive merchants. If they don't take out all the silver and money hidden in the pigsty at home, would they be worthy of all the trouble that Master Hu and the emperor have gone through?
It can be said that if Song Li could not make hundreds of thousands of taels in one night, just considering the face of these two people, he would feel like he was losing money.

As a result, whether it was the "contract fee" or the purchase price and quantity, Song Li fully realized the strength of the Ming Dynasty merchants.

Two million one hundred thousand taels!
This is the number decided on site today!

Although it will take a few days for these merchants to mobilize funds and transport them over, the number has been finalized.

Neither Mr. Hu nor Song Li was worried about not receiving the money.

Are you kidding? You want to default on your debt?
Come on, come on, hurry up and deny it!

If you dare to refuse to pay, I will send someone to collect the debt!

But the interest rate may be a little higher by then. After all, we have to take into account the face of the two bosses behind us and the hard work of sending people.

After learning the news, Zhu Yuanzhang was the happiest person.

"Weiyong, we are going to win this time!"

"Tsk tsk, 1.47 million taels. Normally, this amount of money would be equal to the Ming Dynasty's treasury revenue for a month."

"Now, just by doing something casually, we can get so much money."

"Oh Well!"

Mr. Hu was quite calm. Money was actually not that important to him at this point.

As long as it is enough, it’s fine!
Besides, the money hasn’t even entered my pocket yet!
These days, transactions involving large sums of money are quite troublesome.

The weight and quality of the silver need to be verified box by box.

Not to mention the hassle of long-distance escort.

It can be said that the payment alone is a huge problem for most merchants.

But none of that matters right now.

Anyway, the work has been done, and it's time to take a break.

"Okay, since your majesty is satisfied, let's leave it at that for now."

"When the money is delivered, we will get together again!"

"It just so happens that I've been extremely tired lately, it's time to take a break!"

"I will take my leave now!"

In the first phone call, Mr. Hu used both fighting and consolation to convey his thoughts, including explanations, farewells, etc.

Then, he turned around and left, not caring at all whether Lao Zhu agreed or not.

Seeing Master Hu running away in a hurry, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He knew that Master Hu was in such a hurry to leave.

On the one hand, of course, I was really tired during this period.

But more importantly, the Hu family had such a huge income, so Master Hu was being very cautious!

Well, this performance is good, and Lao Zhu is very satisfied. If all the meritorious officials and nobles in the world can be like Master Hu, how much less trouble we will have.

Unfortunately, this is just a thought and it is impossible to happen.

Mr. Hu, who had just come out of the palace, was almost home, but after thinking for a while and stamping his feet in front of his door, he turned around and ran to the Foreign Diplomatic Department.

He figured it out and decided that if he was going to be busy, he might as well finish all the work at once.

If this is all scattered, how can it be considered a rest?

After arriving at the Foreign Diplomatic Department, Mr. Hu directly convened a meeting of all the managers.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Master Hu naturally had everyone put all the glassware he brought on the table.

"Let's see!"

"This thing is a new product made by the workshop that I and His Majesty have worked on together!"

"This thing is called glass. It has various shapes and is crystal clear. However, this thing is not made by nature. It is produced in a workshop."

"The reason why I brought this to you is to tell you that from today on, this thing will become one of the sources of income for our Foreign Diplomacy Department!"

Looking at the officials whose eyes lit up when they heard about making money, Master Hu didn't find it strange at all.

If an official doesn't even have this little greed, then what the hell is the point of being a official?

"Listen carefully, your mission is very simple."

"I will have a settlement price with the Foreign Diplomatic Department, and the Foreign Diplomatic Department will purchase from my workshop at this price."

"After that, no matter what price you sell this thing for in foreign countries, it will be the profit of the Department of Diplomacy and you!"

"You heard it right, you can make a fair profit here!"

Mr. Hu is very experienced in managing this kind of sales team. Emotions, values, dreams and values ​​are all empty.

The first thing to talk about is money. Once the money is clarified, you can talk about other things.

"For example, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs purchased this cup for one tael of silver each, but you sold it for a hundred taels after you brought it to the foreign country."

"Or, for the sake of convenience, let's just say it's 101 taels, so the profit is 100 taels."

"Eighty taels of it will be handed over to the government office, so that it will be convenient for the Department of Foreign Affairs to make some expenses at some point."

"And the remaining twenty taels are for those of you who are working outside in the wind and sun."

"As for how the people around you divide it, that's your business. Anyway, it's 20-80 and it can't be changed!"

"understand?"

"understand!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the momentum was simply sky-high.

All the officials only needed to look at each other to realize that many of their colleagues were already ready to take action.

What a chance to make money in a fair and honest way, without having to worry about corruption or bribery or being in constant fear.

Who doesn't care?

Under normal circumstances, they might have hesitated about such news.

But the person who made this decision now was none other than their immediate superior, Mr. Hu!

Above Mr. Hu is Mr. Zhu!
"Coincidentally", the workshop that produced these tools was actually that of Mr. Hu and Your Majesty.

Isn't this a coincidence?
By then, will Mr. Hu and His Majesty slap themselves in the face and stop the sale?

So, this is definitely a legitimate way to make money.

Of course, the 80-20 ratio is a bit scary.

But among that 80%, they still actually have a share by then, it just won't be so obvious.

It seems that this matter is done!
