"What is this?"

Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, a group of businessmen looked at the pendulum clock standing in the middle of the hall with a puzzled expression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Wang Fuzhong and Fei Yue'er appreciated the pendulum clock together, Xiao Ming asked the pendulum clock to be sent to the Chamber of Commerce, and the pendulum clock immediately attracted the attention of the merchants.

Li Kaiyuan stood in front of the pendulum clock, this is something just sent from the palace, and he doesn't know much about the use of this pendulum clock, but some time ago he had heard that this instrument division was making pendulum clocks, and now he finally saw the real thing.

However, in order to let him understand the role of the pendulum clock, Xiao Ming specially asked the watchman from the palace to come over, and after some explanation, he understood how to use the pendulum clock to see the time.

"It's really ingenious." Li Kaiyuan praised sincerely.

Many businessmen who came to the Chamber of Commerce to apply for business certificates gathered around Li Kaiyuan, and they also learned the use of this pendulum clock, and understood that this pendulum clock was another commodity in Qingzhou.

And judging from the intricate style of this pendulum clock, the price of this pendulum clock is bound to be very expensive, and the more expensive it is, the more terrifying the profit is.

"But no, if this pendulum clock is launched, it will definitely be shocking to the world, Vice President Li, did His Royal Highness say how to sell this pendulum clock, how much silver is it?"

A businessman from Chang'an attached almost his entire body to the pendulum clock, which not only had a magical function, but also a very beautiful appearance, not to mention the exquisite carving of the wood outside, even this whole piece of glass was expensive.

Li Kaiyuan's mouth was listed behind his ears, and he had to admit that the pendulum clock was the most amazing Qingzhou industrial product he had ever seen in the past three years.

"Far away, far away."

Li Kaiyuan drove away the Chang'an merchants like flies.

Recently, there are more and more new faces in this chamber of commerce, which is a sign of thriving business for the chamber of commerce, and at the same time, there are more businessmen, and this chamber of commerce is also difficult to manage.

Merchants with uneven conduct often feel that they have done some headaches in the Chamber of Commerce, and even some businessmen from other places are simply robbers who block the way.

When they learned that Qingzhou's goods were profitable, they were inevitably tempted to come to purchase, but the nature of these robbers was difficult to change, and some even robbed the goods purchased by other merchants in the Chamber of Commerce, and wanted to do some businessless business.

This month, the soldiers guarding the Chamber of Commerce killed a few people who dared to do so.

So for the sake of prudence, he didn't want any accidents to happen to this pendulum clock, after all, this pendulum clock was the only pendulum clock in Qingzhou.

Originally, King Qi wanted to keep it for himself, but it was sent to the Chamber of Commerce for publicity.

The nearby merchants were driven away, and Li Kaiyuan said at this time: "Don't hide it from you, this thing is called a pendulum clock, which is a commodity carefully manufactured by His Royal Highness to the Instrument Division, and its function is very simple, it is to record the time of the day." ”

Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce was divided into two parts when it was built, one part belonged to the official area, which was similar to the front desk of the bank, and the other part was the commodity display table, commonly known as the booth.

At first, Li Kaiyuan felt very awkward about these unfamiliar words, but after a long time, he got used to it, and now he feels that it is inappropriate to change the word.

As the name suggests, the purpose of this booth is to display the goods currently sold in the Chamber of Commerce, such as soaps, wines, perfumes, glassware, mirrors, salt, etc., as long as they can be found on the booth, the Chamber of Commerce can sell them.

The merchants stared at the pendulum clock with wide eyes, some of whom had already learned from the watchman how to tell the time through the pendulum clock, while others who did not know anything about the pendulum clock were impatient to inquire about other merchants.

After hearing from the other people what the pendulum was saying, they looked up in the direction of the pendulum clock, from which they easily knew the time.

"A quarter past three." A merchant exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, this pendulum clock is really magical, if you buy one and put it at home, wouldn't it be enviable." ”

"That's right, this pendulum clock can not only see the time, but also looks very exquisite, very suitable for placing at home, but unfortunately, I just don't know how much the price is?" A businessman said.

"It looks very expensive, and I estimate that a pendulum clock will cost at least 50,000 taels."

"So expensive? How many people can afford it? Someone exclaimed.

"Hey, with the ingenuity of this pendulum, 50,000 taels will be bought, even if there are 1,000 people in the entire Dayu Country who buy it, this is 50 million taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, the merchants gasped, and then they looked at the pendulum clock with a hint of fanaticism in their eyes, if they could make the pendulum clock, wouldn't it be to get rich overnight.

"Hey, in my opinion, all the wealth of the world will fall into the hands of the King of Qi." The merchants finally let out a sigh of wonder whether it was jealousy or sorrow.

Li Kaiyuan's eyebrows fluttered, the discussion of the merchants did not escape his ears, he quietly admired the pendulum clock in front of him, for him he believed that there would only be more and more goods in the future.

These merchants had never seen a steam engine, and if they saw it with their own eyes, they didn't know how shocking it would be.

In his opinion, now that they can make a steel monster like a steam engine, what other strange thing can they not make?

Secretly smiling proudly in his heart, he looked at the merchants and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Highness said, there is only one pendulum clock now, but there will be a second one soon, now this pendulum clock is just to show you what the pendulum clock looks like, after you go back, you can consider whether to buy a pendulum clock for sale, as for the price, His Highness has not yet set, but the magic of this pendulum clock will not be cheap, if you want to prepare it." ”

The businessmen nodded when they heard this, and some businessmen with strong financial resources were calculating.

This pendulum was made for the powerful and magnates, and there are many wealthy families outside the Qi Dynasty, and there will always be a few wealthy families who like to show off, and this pendulum is just right for them.

Thinking of this, some merchants turned away, they wanted to give the news of the pendulum clock to their vassal magnates, and some merchants directly discussed cooperation.

Just when everyone was shaking because of the pendulum, the servants in the palace came outside the door of the Chamber of Commerce, and these servants carried a basket of white sugar to the middle of the booth and said to Li Kaiyuan: "Vice President Li, Your Highness said, let you tell me about this white sugar." ”

Because the joy of the pendulum has not passed, the appearance of this white sugar once again raised the hearts of the merchants, and they felt a little overwhelmed, what happened to Qingzhou in the past two days, one commodity after another.

Li Kaiyuan knew about white sugar, after all, he knew about any new products for the first time, so he said: "Everyone, this white sugar is really a good thing!" ”
