Chapter 328: None of the Fuel-Efficient Lamps (Second Update)
The Immortal Residence of the capital.
As early as last night, one of the most expensive private rooms in the Immortal Curie was chartered by a mysterious person.
Now there are several men dressed in brocade sitting in the luxurious private room, these people are not young, maybe the life is too good, everyone's stomach is almost bulging.
"Jiang Yongmin, do you dare to covet this glass business?" The old man at the head asked a middle-aged businessman sitting in the corner of the room without smiling.
"Boss Xu, since Grandpa Guo is openly recruiting agents, why can't he come?" This is called Jiang Yongmin, and he does not show weakness at all.
"That's it, everyone has a chance, it depends on whose family has enough money, don't hurt the harmony, hahaha." The other person patted his waist (belly) and bag (child) and said.
"A few of us can be regarded as well-known figures in the capital, why did this Duke An Guo let me wait here for him all the time? Is this a disadvantage for us? ”
The other seemed a little upset.
"Brother Zichuan, don't say that, the old man heard that Lord An Guogong's temper is not too good, and he is not a good person!"
"Yo? I said what kind of sneezing along the way, who is this talking about my father? ”
The door creaked open, and Liu Hong, the Duke of Anguo, gradually appeared on the stage under the escort of the two family members.
After some greetings and greetings, Liu Hong gradually began to secretly start a large number of these five businessmen.
The person sitting next to him is also said to be the most powerful in the capital, surnamed Wei Mingcai, and is a big businessman specializing in restaurant business in the capital.
It is rumored that this immortal residence also has this surname Wei's shares, not only that, but there are also a lot of industries in Nanjing.
"Grandpa Guo, we don't say dark words, just say it, what are you going to do with this glass business?" Wei Cai bowed, and Zhang Yuandong, who was a little anxious, couldn't help but speak.
This guy is the nephew of Longping waiting for Zhang Gongri, Zhang Gongri has no children, but he attaches great importance to this Zhang Yuandong.
By virtue of his uncle's name, this guy is also a wealthy family in the capital, running a wine-making business.
"Well, my lord also likes to be cheerful, and you are all busy people, and my lord doesn't delay much.
Speaking of the rules, the glass workshop of the national government has now achieved mass production, and this so-called agency right means that the national government will set a factory price to sell to you.
Then how much more you sell this batch of glass, and at what price, the national government will no longer ask.
In order for you to earn money as soon as possible, this agency is exclusive, do you understand the meaning of the Duke of China? After Liu Hong finished speaking, he took a sip of the tea on the table.
The five wealthy merchants still don't understand that this means that they should bid for silver, and whoever pays more money will be able to monopolize this glass business.
As for how big the market for this glass business is, it is their own ability, and the eyes of the five merchants have become hot.
"Dare to ask Grandpa Guo, how much glass can your glass workshop produce per day, and how do you set your price?" Jiang Yongmin, who was in the corner, asked quietly and respectfully.
"Well, that's a good question, at present, the country's public workshop can produce 300 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 public workshop is expanding, and the output may increase several times in the future! Liu Hongjian also said it roughly.
The price is set at ten taels is carefully considered, although the glass is not a high-end thing, but the scarcity is expensive, who let you not have it?
The price of ten taels means that there is no chance with the common people, but glass is not just needed, and the common people can still live without glass.
Conversely, even if he sets the price at one tael, he still can't afford it.
And those rich and noble families, how much is the difference between one tael and ten taels?
He didn't think about earning the people's money, and if he wanted to earn it, he would also earn these rich people.
These guys are all very competitive, if Zhang Sanjia replaces all the window paper with glass, how can Li Sijia next door bear it?
"Wei is willing to pay 200,000 taels to buy the exclusive agency right of this Laoshizi!" Wei Cai was arrogant, patted his stomach and said.
If all the restaurants in his Beijing camp were replaced with glass, and the windows were bright and clean, wouldn't the business be better?
"Zhang Mou gave 250,000 taels!" Zhang Yuandong was not to be outdone.
A few days ago, he went to Cuiyun Building for recreation, and the girl Wan'er there had such a mirror from An Guogong's glass workshop, and he was keenly aware of the business opportunities contained in this mirror as soon as he saw it.
It is a waste to make such a large piece of glass window paper, if it is divided into small pieces and all made into mirrors, not to mention others, just a small mirror, it is estimated that it can be worth several taels.
"Four hundred thousand taels!" He is not the only one who knows the value of this glass, Liu Weidao, who is sitting next to Zhang Yuandong.
"What? Are you crazy with the surname Liu? Directly increase the price by 150,000 taels, how can you increase the price like this? "Wei Cai became popular all of a sudden, and he is not such a loser if he has silver?
"Hmph, the old man has money at home, how do you want to spend it and still need you to teach?" Liu Wei scoffed at Wei Cai's accusations, and 400,000 taels was considered a bankruptcy for him.
But there is no way, since the trade route in Shanxi has been cut off, and the imperial court is now buying grain directly from Zheng Zhilong, his Liu family doesn't want a way out, it is really empty.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Another voice sounded, the voice was a little girly, and Liu Hong, who listened to it, gradually frowned.
Since the glass business is an open recruitment of agents, it is naturally the highest bidder, and the five people who can come here must also stand out from the many businessmen who covet this business.
And the one who shouted out 450,000 taels is a middle-aged man named Huang Du, this guy seems to be a bit empty, it is said that this guy is doing Qinglou business......
"Five hundred thousand taels! You sick man, you are so daring! Wei Cai was very uninterested in this guy who was in the leather and meat business, although he himself often went to other people's scenes.
But many people are like this, on the surface they scoff at this, but in fact, they are willing to eat it in their hearts.
"Hey, surnamed Wei, are you threatening people?" Liu Hongjian doesn't care what you do, whoever dares to stop others from raising the price will not be able to get along with him.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Liu Wei was not to be outdone, but his face was gloomy, and he was afraid that he had reached the limit.
"Five hundred and eighty thousand taels!" Huang Du also seemed to be struggling.
"Six hundred thousand taels!" Jiang Yongmin, who had been sitting on the side and did not speak, said suddenly.
"Surnamed Jiang, do you have so much silver? Afraid of holding you to death? Wei Cai sneered, and the one he was most afraid of among these people was this surnamed Jiang.
Because including him, there are big people behind the people in the room to support the scene, and only this surnamed Jiang is an outlier.
If this guy dares to compete with him, he Wei Cai has the means to ruin this family surnamed Jiang.
"The surname is Wei, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, you go out to your country!"
