Chapter Ninety-Two: The Exhibition
The appearance of glass in this era is definitely a profiteering industry, and this kind of profiteering makes Xiao Ming unable to calm down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because of this, he gave the right to operate the glass to his Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.
But Xiao Ming eats alone, and other businessmen from other places will naturally not be happy, and they may find trouble when they are operating on the chassis, so Xiao Ming proposed a plan to auction off the sales rights of the glass after half a year.
In this way, he can not only earn the first pot of gold, but also appease these businessmen.
A few days later, the glass exhibition that Xiao Ming said was officially held in Dongshi, and all the glass produced by the workers these days was taken out.
Xiao Ming also transferred soldiers from the Qingzhou Army to maintain order at the scene.
Merchants who are familiar with all kinds of new words in Qingzhou have been surprised, and after figuring out the meaning of this exhibition, they flock to it this day.
"This is glass?"
The businessmen whispered below, just like Wang Shijie and Qin Mu's reactions, and the merchants were deeply shocked by this strange thing the moment they saw the glass.
"Crystal clear, cold to the touch, smooth as skin, this is really a divine thing."
At the exhibition, glass was allowed to be picked up and viewed, and some businessmen exclaimed after admiring it.
"Brother Han, how do you say this glass compares to porcelain?" A merchant asked his companion.
"The porcelain is exquisite, but this glass is crystal clear, and it is rare, and the value cannot be estimated, but if it is taken out, it will inevitably be loved by the powerful." The businessman surnamed Han said.
"I also think so, in my opinion, this glass is more profitable than the soap and wine, but the auction of the distribution rights is probably more expensive."
"That's so, but it's also fast, and if we are in business, we must dare to take risks."
"Brother Han taught me a lesson."
”……“
The exhibition hall is a circular field, the perimeter is pulled up by ropes, and the glass inside is placed on some wooden benches, around which merchants walk around and admire the different shapes of glass.
As time passed, more and more merchants came here, and the merchants became more and more expectant of how King Qi would auction off the distribution rights of this glass.
But Li Kaiyuan's arrival made them a little disappointed, because he brought Xiao Mingdi's glass sales method.
"Half a year?" A businessman asked.
Li Kaiyuan nodded, "That's right, it's half a year, and after half a year, only businessmen who join the Chamber of Commerce are eligible to participate in the auction." “
Now there are still many new businessmen from other places, and they don't know much about the Chamber of Commerce now, as soon as Li Kaiyuan said this, they suddenly felt that the Chamber of Commerce had become very important.
Thinking that after waiting for the exhibition, I paid a fee to join the Chamber of Commerce.
At first, there was no fee to join the Chamber of Commerce, but with the increase in businessmen, Xiao Ming added this article.
"It's a pity that it will take half a year to lose a lot of silver."
Ding Wanquan was also standing below at this time, although he was a celebrity in front of King Wei, but Li Kaiyuan is now the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is Li Kaiyuan who has the final say under Xiao Ming.
Now that Li Kaiyuan has come out to speak, it seems that this is what King Qi meant.
For King Qi's arrangement, shrewd businessmen can guess it clearly, and it can also be seen that the windfall profits of this glass, even King Qi is not calm.
Some of the big businessmen around the other vassal kings stopped talking, and openly opposed it at this time, that was not to give the King of Qi face, rather than this, it was better to visit the King of Qi in private.
The open and transparent exhibition lasted all day, and the name of glass spread quickly among the merchants, and the people of Qingzhou City also talked about it.
This King Qi concocted another miraculous thing.
After the exhibition, the merchants dispersed one after another, and they went back to find a way, while some merchants prepared generous gifts and went directly to Xiao Ming's palace.
"The King of Wei, the King of Yan, the King of Chu, the King of Zhao, the King of Huainan, the King of Liang, the King of Runan, the Princess of Pingyang, the Three Princes,
The prince ......, "In the main hall of the palace, Xiao Ming will pay his respects one by one, and the bitter smile on his face is getting stronger and stronger.
Zi Wan stood beside Xiao Ming, it was she who sent these greetings, she said: "Your Highness, you are really a celebrity in the Great Yu Kingdom now, and now whether it is a vassal king, a princess or a prince, you have to come to beg you." ”
"Hmph, it's just a letter of worship, it's not a request, it's just a routine, and it's no problem for this king to write three hundred copies a day for such a post." Xiao Ming put a stack of prayer stickers in the hand of the pothos and said, "Take it as a fire primer for the briquette stove and burn it." ”
The green pothos glanced at nature, thinking that Xiao Ming had made a mistake again, and when she saw Aster nodding, she went out with the prayer post.
"Your Highness, this is always a good thing, at least they are always worried about you now, and they dare not slack off easily." Aster said.
Aster means that she wants Xiao Ming to meet these businessmen, Concubine Zhen sent him here, and she also has the idea of letting her be Xiao Mingxian's internal helper, if Xiao Ming is guilty, she can also persuade her.
At this time, it was time for Xiao Ming to renew the relationship with other vassal kings, princes, and princesses, and she thought that this was not a bad thing for Xiao Ming.
After a deep sigh, Xiao Ming said: "I must see it, but their master was so contemptuous of me before, and now I have to return the color, so I said that this king is bathing and changing clothes, let them wait a little longer." Xiao Ming said.
Aster nodded and bowed out of the main hall.
At this time, Xiao Ming sat down, his fingers lightly tapping on the table, thinking about how to deal with these businessmen.
When he announced that he would sell glass in half a year, he thought that there must be some big businessmen who couldn't hold it back, and he knew exactly who these people were.
The purpose of their coming is nothing more than to get some privileges, which is normal in an era like the Great Chongqing Kingdom, which is full of powerful privileges.
Everyone is an exchange of interests, either to cooperate or to wear small shoes to each other.
Therefore, if you can't avoid giving them some privileges, Xiao Ming will get what he wants.
Now he needed nothing more than silver and craftsmen, the most basic elements of the industrial base, and only these two things could make him feel relieved.
Thinking of this, he thought about his words, and then asked Aster to invite the merchants in.
The first one to appear outside the main hall was Ding Wanquan, and then the merchants surnamed Han of King Yan and the merchants of the Lu family of King Liang walked in one by one, a total of twenty-five merchants.
Some of these merchants came from the fiefs of the feudal kings with different surnames, some came from the fiefs of the royal feudal kings, and some of the vassal merchants of the princes and princesses, which can be said to be a group of people with the highest power in the Great Yu Kingdom.
"You may be seated." Xiao Ming smiled and said, "You have come to visit this king so late, and this king also understands the meaning, but the matter of glass is related to the interests of Qingzhou, and this king naturally can't easily agree to you." ”
