Ang Lee is a very intelligent person, not only business acumen, but also political acumen, and some things know what is going on, but they will not say it.

This may be suspected of fooling the people, but there is no way to do it, and sometimes it is necessary to properly fool the people in order to protect their own highest interests.

For example, if you tell everyone that this is just a very cheap and cheap low-grade product, there is nothing unusual, then the credit for Ang Lee's development is not worth mentioning, and the people's awe of the fire alkane cloth will also be gone, the most important thing is that the price of the fire alkane cloth in the future is completely unguaranteed, and the research and development funds cannot be returned.

The same is true for the previous glass development, if you tell the people that glass is made of sand, then it will be unpopular to continue to maintain an ultra-high price, and even if the price is reduced a lot, the people will not buy it, thinking that it is just processing it with sand, where can it be worth so much money, that is to say, not only the glass produced by Ang Lee will not sell at a good price, but also Ang Lee's reputation will plummet, and he will be regarded as a profiteer by the people, and in the case of concealing the raw materials and technology of glass, Ordinary people will not think so, they will feel that glass is made of many precious materials, and the high price is a matter of course, so they will be willing to pay for the product, and even, they will be grateful to Ang Lee, feeling that if Ang Lee did not invent glass, they will pay a higher price from Hu Shang, and the quality is even worse.

But once they know that the cost of this thing is extremely low, and the glass sold by Ang Lee is ten times, or even dozens of times the profit, they will not think like that, they will feel that Ang Lee is too black-hearted, an incomparably black-hearted person, and their favor towards Ang Lee will be greatly reduced.

People are like this, obviously your product is the best and cheapest, it is a good thing with good quality and low price, but because others know your cost, they will feel too unreasonable, and the inner resistance is extremely strong.

And it is precisely because of this that many people dare not tell the truth, and will always deliberately conceal their costs, such as the businessmen who open restaurants, the meals are not only delicious and delicious, but also very cheap, far more than the rest of the restaurants, but because of the adoption of a more advanced management model, the boss and the proprietress work in person, and personally run dozens of miles in the early morning to buy cheaper ingredients, so that the cost is greatly reduced, and customers will not care about these, when they know that the boss's profit is as high as 100%, will feel that the products in this store can be cheaper, so when paying, they will ask for a discount, or even deliberately give a little less, so that the boss is helpless, and he can't offend customers.

For the same dish, the cost of a meal in other stores is 100, and the price is 110, and the customer will find it reasonable, while the cost of your store is 50, and the price is 100, after the customer knows, although they will favor your small store, they also feel that your profit margin is too high, since you will control the cost, why not sell 60? As a result, there is a situation where less money is given, or even no money is given.

However, this situation is generally relatively rare, all the bosses who make a lot of money, will not tell their own costs to customers, this is the secret of all industries, and even obviously there are several times the profit, all of them are making a lot of money, and the result is crying poor everywhere, saying that they are doing a loss-making business, and they don't make money at all, so that at least they can make customers feel more comfortable, and feel that they are not spending more money.

For example, the glass industry owned by Ang Lee is a mess with low cost, and the price is at least ten times, but Ang Lee is also a poor man, and he will not tell the world the cost of his products, but deliberately makes people feel that the cost of glass is very expensive, and the price of selling ten times is the cost price, and he doesn't make much money at all, so that the people's hearts can be more comfortable.

Guo Ziyi was convinced of the scarcity of Huohuan cloth, so when Li An told him that the cost of Huohuan cloth was very high and could not be equipped for ordinary soldiers, Guo Ziyi nodded very affirmatively, thinking that Li An was right, how could such an expensive Huohuan cloth be equipped by ordinary soldiers.

"In the past, it was rumored that the fire raccoon cloth was made of fire tree bark and fire rat skin in the Western Regions, what is Li Shilang's fire raccoon cloth made of?"

Guo Ziyi asked curiously.

Li An smiled and said: "It is made of stone, that is, in the mountains of southwest Shu, there is a kind of stone from which you can refine fire raccoon cloth, and that's how it came about." ”

"Stone, can actually extract fire raccoon cloth from stone, stone is not afraid of fire, no wonder fire rag is not afraid of fire, what is the legendary fire rat skin? Is this fire rat skin real? ”

Guo Ziyi asked curiously.

Where did Ang Lee answer this question, this is probably a legend! And it is a legend that cannot be verified, in reality, there should be no fire rat this animal, and the reason for this legend is that someone has ulterior motives, deliberately exaggerated the rarity of the fire raccoon cloth, so as to improve the grade of this special cloth, after all, who has seen the fire rat in the world, and has not seen the fire rat, is it not just to explain the rarity of the fire rat, and the fire rat is so rare, the grade of the fire raccoon cloth can not be greatly improved.

"I really don't know if the fire raccoon cloth of fire rat skin is real, but the fire raccoon cloth made of stone can also avoid fire."

Li An could only answer like this, after all, Li Ang had never seen a fire rat, what if there really was such an animal? Wouldn't Ang Lee be embarrassed.

"Haha! Again, whatever? Let's take a look at the knife-proof clothes and pants, the clothes that can prevent knives must be very heavy! ”

Guo Ziyi said happily.

For the anti-knife clothes and pants, it is also a product recently developed by Ang Lee, however, because it is far inferior to the telegraph, so, even if it succeeds, Ang Lee does not make a big deal of it, and this success is still conditional, and it cannot completely eliminate the damage from the knife, but it just makes the sharp knife unable to pierce the anti-knife clothing, so that people's skin will not be cut, if the knife is very large and heavy, it can also cause serious internal organ damage to the wearer.

The most important point is that it is not very comfortable, no matter how thin the anti-knife clothing developed by Li An, but compared with ordinary normal clothes, there is still a big gap, and the comfort is still not rational enough, which is much better than the armor worn by soldiers, and in terms of defense against heavy attacks, hard armor is obviously more dominant.

In addition, even the most powerful defensive clothes can not be compared with a large number of guards and horses, the emperor and nobles go out, the favorite way of defense, is definitely not to wear bulky defensive clothes, but to lead a large number of guard soldiers, there is a large number of guard soldiers protection, it is always more reliable than wearing defensive clothes, so, even if the clothes are good, the nobles themselves are not willing to wear, at most buy equipment to equip the guards under their command, so as to improve the defense of the guards, to prevent the guards from being injured.

But the guards are some people whose lives are not valuable, in order to protect the lives of these guards, spend a lot of money to buy defensive equipment, many nobles are afraid that they are not very happy, they feel that they are spending money in vain, and there will not be many opportunities to meet assassins, and the guards are just pomp, where do you need to equip additional soft defensive armor that is close to the body.

Especially in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there will not be an assassination of nobles for almost many years, and the guards have really become a tool for courage, as long as they are young and powerful.

However, for the Tang soldiers at the border pass, defensive clothes are very important, after all, the situation at the border pass is more complicated, although all the countries dare not argue with the Tang Dynasty, but many neighboring countries are small countries, the ability to centralize power is very poor, the king does not have much ability to control the entire empire, and there is no way to do anything about many disobedient small forces, so they can only prevent these small forces from harassing the Tang border and robbing the property of the Tang people.

After all, the grassland people are all horseback riding people, they move faster, come and go without a trace, and it is very difficult to deal with a shot to change a place, and they also know how to make crossbow arrows with strong penetration, when fighting, they can easily penetrate the armor of the Tang soldiers, unless it is the most advanced heavy armor to resist these crossbow arrows, but the heavy armor is too heavy, after the Tang soldiers wear heavy armor, the speed of riding horses is greatly reduced, The situation is even worse because there is no way to catch up with the fleeing enemy, and there are still many corrupt elements who respond to the enemy.

In this case, if there is a light armor that can resist crossbow arrows, it is the best, in this way, the Tang Dynasty soldiers are not only not afraid of the enemy's crossbow arrows, but also, because their own weight is not large, they can also quickly catch up with the fleeing enemy, so as to eliminate the enemy on the northern grassland step by step, so that the people on the northern border do not have to suffer from looting, so that the merchants can trade better and earn more money, so as to promote the prosperity of the border step by step.

"General Guo, this clothing is a sword-proof clothing, try it, it's much lighter than armor!"

Li An handed a small vest to Guo Ziyi and spoke.

"Such light clothes can defend against swords, it's really fake!"

Guo Ziyi seemed to be a little unconvinced, with a skeptical expression on her face.

"Whether it's true or not, General Guo will know if he tries it, come here, take the scarecrow."

Li An opened his mouth and ordered.

Soon, a fixed scarecrow was brought up, and Li An personally put the knife-proof clothes on the scarecrow's body, then looked at Guo Ziyi, and said, "General Guo will try this dress with his own saber!" Let's see if we can defend against the sword. ”

"Okay, then try it, this saber of mine is often sharpened, and it's not easy to cut a piece of clothing."

Guo Ziyi seems to be very confident in herself, and feels that her saber cutting down trees is broken in response, and it is not easy to cut down clothes and other objects.

After pulling out the saber, Guo Ziyi took a standard decapitation pose, and then slashed at the scarecrow's anti-knife jacket with a sharp force.

"Huh."

Guo Ziyi let out a surprised sound, he originally thought that he could easily chop the clothes in front of him, but he didn't expect that with so much effort, he didn't split the clothes, which made him a little shameless.

"Get out of the way, let the old man try again."

Guo Ziyi was a little unconvinced, and asked Li An and several people beside him to stand farther away, so that he could use more strength to slash.

"Haha! General Guo is leisurely, but don't flash your waist! Is Silla still waiting in the house? ”

Ang Lee laughed and joked, and the people next to him also laughed.

Guo Ziyi didn't pay attention to it, and used all her strength to slash violently again.

"It's so powerful that it can't even split my saber."

After chopping again, Guo Ziyi was really convinced, the seemingly ordinary clothes in front of him could really resist the attack of the sword, which was very incredible, after all, Guo Ziyi had just played with it in his hand, and felt that the weight was very light and very soft, much lighter than the ordinary armor of a soldier, but he didn't expect such a thin material to be able to resist the attack of his saber, and it was also an attack operated by him personally, although he was already older, but Guo Ziyi knew that his strength was still very large, Compared with when he was young, there was almost no big regression, and he still couldn't break through a layer of soft clothes, which seemed to be enough to show that the clothes in front of him could indeed resist the attack of the sword, and in Guo Ziyi's opinion, it was very incredible.

"Well, that's a good thing! Such a thin layer of cotton cloth can actually resist the attack of the sword, well, very good, if the soldiers wear it, it will be much more convenient when fighting. ”

Although it was obvious at a glance that this clothing could not withstand heavy blows, Guo Ziyi still appreciated it very much, after all, this was already very rare, and as long as such clothes were issued to him, he could use them well, so that the soldiers under his command could suffer a little less loss.

"Come on, bring a bow and arrow, and let General Guo try the ability of this dress to resist a bow and crossbow."

Li An said.

Guo Ziyi opened his mouth and smiled: "Since even my saber can resist, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to resist the bow and arrow, but it's good to give it a try and see how deep the bow and arrow can go." ”

Obviously, the penetration of bows and arrows is greater, and on the battlefield in the north, more than half of the soldiers under Guo Ziyi's command died under the bow and crossbow, which made Guo Ziyi extremely annoyed, but he was also helpless, and seeing the clothes in front of him, he seemed to see hope.

Soon, the bow and arrow were taken, and Guo Ziyi once again took matters into his own hands, ready to try the armor's ability to defend against arrows.

"Whoosh......"

The bow and arrow were ready to shoot at the clothes, but they stayed for a moment before falling to the ground, that is, the arrows of the bow did not penetrate the clothes and were blocked.
