Chapter 557: Glass for Food

(thanks for the evaluation vote of the black willow top!) )

The clairglass is followed by reading glasses and a magnifying glass, both of which are not too rare, but when the beautiful Sword Dance Pavilion Maiji walks down with these two things, which many people use on the spot, it also arouses the love of many people.

Especially for some older people, old eyes dizziness is a common phenomenon, but the gold wire glasses hanging on the bridge of the nose on the ear are really magical. And the effect of the magnifying glass is similar, especially when Gongsun Lan took the magnifying glass and shone it in front of a lamp, but after a while, he directly lit a blank piece of paper, which attracted an exclamation.

Amazing, amazing!

This time, not only the merchants were amazed and moved, especially the old scribes, but also the officials. Which civil official and head of the family have never read, when they were young, they read too many books, and they burned their eyes under the lamp, but now they are old and they are ready to read. With these two things, it's just another pair of eyes.

"These reading glasses and magnifying glasses are a blessing for the elderly. With these two kinds of things, I will not have any difficulty in reading and writing in the future. There are 100 of each of these two things, and the reserve price is 100 pieces each, so please bid. ”

As soon as the auction began, it was lively, and almost all the older ones participated in the auction. However, because of the large number of these things, the bidding was not too intense, and the starting auction of 100 pieces, 100 pieces of each of each, only took more than half an hour, and all of them were sold out after the final. After the 200 price was the most expensive, it sold for 100,000 yuan. The average price is 500 yuan. Although everyone knows it. Since Li Jing can take out two hundred pieces at once. It won't be long before more will appear, and the prices will definitely be cheaper.

But none of the people here are worth 100,000 or million, and those with a net worth can only barely get the qualifications. Therefore, they really don't care about the price of a few hundred yuan, what they care about is that they can have this magical thing immediately.

Later, a variety of glassware was auctioned, including wine glasses, teacups, flasks, teapots, and so on. These things are just small pieces. But that crystal clear appearance is still amazing. Especially when it is displayed as a set of glassware, it is even more attractive. The transparent bottle containing the crimson grape wine has a unique style and is very beautiful, and with the goblet, there is a strange beauty.

There are also perfume bottles, small bottles, which are also unique in shape. Wine with bottles, glasses, perfume with beautiful glass bottles. The combination of several things immediately increased the original price by more than ten times. It's not just about wine. It's a perfume, but it's a rare treasure. Dozens of different styles of various wine glasses, wine bottles, teacups, teapots and perfumes were immediately sold out. Looking at the appearance of these people, Li Jing estimated that they would not drink those wines.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of glass ornaments were displayed, all kinds of glass ornaments, although they were small pieces, but the price was extraordinary, and even the glass bead necklace was auctioned ten times the price of the pearl necklace. A bracelet of glass is even several times more expensive than a bracelet of gold.

Before you know it, two hours have passed for the auction, and it is finally time to finalize.

Gongsun Lan summoned the dancers and kabuki of the Sword Dance Pavilion to the stage and performed songs and dances. At this time, many people in the theater finally felt suffocated and hurriedly got up to change clothes. The release of water, the breathability of breathability, and even many people saw that the auction just now was fierce, and they expected that the auction of the treasure mirror would be more intense, so they hurriedly sent someone to find the shopkeeper of Sihai Money Village to exchange for more flying money, just in case.

After a song and dance in the Grand Theater, the auction continues.

After bidding again, there were dozens of different glass mirrors, most of them small mirrors, but also one-foot square. These mirrors are of various shapes, beautiful, Li Jing regrets a little, if today's auction invites some noblewomen to come, he will definitely be able to make more money.

Since Li Jing stated that each of these mirrors is a hundred pieces, and there will be more sales in the future, the reserve price is not high. However, although the unit price is not high, the number of pieces is large, and the harvest is still huge.

When the finale of the floor-to-ceiling coat mirror at the end of the show, those rich people who were ready to spend a lot of money were eager to try.

Whoever can win this treasure will undoubtedly become the protagonist of the singing of everyone in the coastal land for a long time. For these rich people, the fight is a face.

"The reserve price is 100,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 1,000 yuan each time, and the auction begins!" Gongsun Lan's tone was full of charm, as if she was not talking about the glass mirror, but herself, as if whoever offered the highest price today could take her away.

"110,000!" Someone immediately made a bid, it was the Cui family in Qingzhou, as the largest clan in Ziqing Town, the Cui family maintained their momentum.

The appearance of this finale treasure will almost be a competition between the major families, and everyone else will shut up and watch it with interest.

"The Cui family is now in full swing, Cui Anqian is the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival and the envoy, and Cui Yunqing has just been promoted to the envoy of the Taining Military Festival. Especially Cui Anqian's branch, Cui Anqian's brother Cui Shenyou, was the prime minister of Xuanzong, and successively served as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu and the envoy of Hezhong Jiedu, and then in the previous generation, Cui Cong also served as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu. In addition, the Cui family has many sons and daughters in the central and local governments, and their momentum is booming. Li Zhen sat beside Li Jing and said to Li Jing with a smile. The Cui family is indeed very strong, and there is more than one Cui family, among the five surnames and seven doors, the Cui family accounts for two, and these two branches have been divided into several branches over the years, among which Cui Yunqing's Qingzhou Fang is also very strong, and there have been several prime ministers.

"120,000!" The maid of the old lady of the Xiao family in Lanling added 10,000 yuan loudly, adding 10,000 yuan, but she didn't have any excitement, as if she was just an ordinary person buying vegetables for more than ten yuan.

The Cui family is very strong, the Xiao family is also not weak, the Xiao family has always been the first hope in Jiangnan, but since the cooperation with Li Jing, the relationship between Li Jing and the Xiao family can also be said to be getting closer and closer. At the beginning, the Xiao family didn't take Li Jing seriously, and wanted to let Li Jing go as a loan shark, but with Li Jing's rapid rise, the Xiao family usually had an equal cooperative relationship. And now, the Xiao family has begun to lower their stature and seek Li Jing's support.

100,000 dollars. It's nothing to the Xiao family. Li Jing's auction was to raise money to buy grain. It's a big deal. Of course, the Xiao family is willing to fully support Li Jing. Moreover, now it is not only the Xiao family that wants Li Jing's support, the Cui family, the Yu family, and even the Han family, the Du family, the Wang family, etc., which one does not want to strengthen the relationship with Li Jing. Especially for the Xiao family, the Xiao family has not made much progress in the court and officialdom over the years, so they especially want to let more children of the clan enter the ranks through Li Jing's support, and at the same time. I also hope to take advantage of Li Jing's business plan and cooperate with Li Jing to make more money.

The Qingzhou Cui clan and the Lanling Xiao clan started together, and the rest of the families behind them who thought they could be mentioned alongside them were naturally not to be outdone, at this time it didn't matter whether they fought for the treasure mirror or not, the important thing was this attitude, showing the strength of their respective families.

The Han family, the Wang family, the Li family and other families have spoken, and in the blink of an eye, five or six rounds of prices have been added.

A glass mirror has been auctioned for more than 800,000 yuan and is still shouting. This price is already equivalent to the price of a small ocean-going fleet.

Each is still offering. But it's not as hot as before, before every bid. You'll have to think about it for a while. On the contrary, a wealthy merchant in the Bohai Kingdom has been shouting prices, and several giant merchants such as Silla and Daeshi and the Byzantine Empire have always insisted.

Li Jing took a look, and if he continued to shout, if a few merchants withdrew, then this transaction would be a little troublesome. After all, several major clans are now supporting themselves, and there is no reason for them to come up with millions of dollars for a glass mirror. It's not that they can't take it, but they will sell it themselves in the future, and they will definitely be dissatisfied at that time.

Seeing that the wealthy businessmen of the Bohai Kingdom shouted out the price of one million guan, Li Jing immediately signaled to Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan was also sweating with her palms holding the small silver hammer, and she never thought that this mirror would actually cost one million yuan. It is estimated that this Bohai merchant must have bought this mirror, and he must have dedicated it to Da Xuanxi, the king of Bohai, and immediately understood Li Jing's meaning, and quickly asked three times, and then finalized the auction.

With the sound of a hammer, many of the big clans in the field were also relieved. If you really want them to spend a million yuan to buy a mirror, they are really not very happy in their hearts. This money might as well be given directly to Li Jing, and the name is better.

The last auction item was auctioned, and the auction was over, Li Rang excitedly trotted in front of Li Jing with the account book, "I made a lot of money." ”

"How much?" Li Jing was not too excited.

"Today's auction of 100 categories of thousands of items, a total of 3 million yuan, the ticket money is still 100,000 yuan, plus our tax money of 600,000, plus the transfer of the four seas money village also made a profit, even if we get rid of this one, we will make more than 3.7 million yuan in one day." Li Rang is not unseen of money, he is the richest man in the Biansong Dynasty, and his family fortune is tens of millions. But this money is not earned by him alone, it is earned by their Li family ancestors from generation to generation. But today, he saw that Li Jing made more than 3 million yuan in one day.

"That's a long way off, don't forget, we're going to buy 25 million in grain. The money we have now is only enough to buy half of it, and if we have some spare turnover, we will be at least fifteen million dollars short. ”

"Isn't there another auction in a month's time, and I believe that the more people who come at that time, we will definitely be able to sell for more money."

Li Jing shook his head: "Scarcity is expensive, and the first time you shoot it will definitely make a lot of money, but the later ones will not be so valuable." In the next auction, even if we increase the number of lots, we can make another five million in the end, and it will not be so easy in the future. I plan to expand production and sell these glass products to overseas countries. ”

Li Rang's eyes lit up, if the glass products were auctioned twice in Dengzhou, it would indeed be difficult to sell them at a high price. But if you ship further overseas, you can make a lot of money.

Although it is said that the price of glass products will definitely drop in the future, Li Jing believes that the cheapest, this thing will also be sold more expensive than porcelain. As long as you keep it a secret, the business can go on forever. This glass is simpler, quicker, and larger than porcelain. Now Li Jing is thinking about making this business bigger and stronger quickly, and it will definitely not work with Zhenguojun's own caravan alone.

"Shichiro, I plan that in the future, we will only be responsible for making porcelain, and the sales link can be handed over to other caravans, so that more caravans can be tied up with us, and everyone will make money together." Li Jing groaned.

Li Rang thought about it, and immediately understood what Li Jing meant, if only the Zhenguojun family did this business, it would be difficult to really open the scale, so it was suitable to do high-quality products, do small, and take the high-end route. And what Dashuai is planning now is undoubtedly to do this glass business. Then the ability of the caravan of the Zhenguo Army is insufficient, but if you pull other merchants into the same boat to do this business, you can rely on the business network of other caravans to quickly open the market and sell this glass commodity to various places.

Although in this way, the production will increase, the price will inevitably fall, and the profits will have to be shared with other caravans, but the business is bigger, and the stall is bigger, and the money will be more, even if everyone shares it together, the money that can be obtained in the last one will be just as much.

And it is conceivable that after the glass manufacturing scale is large, it can immediately lead to many other developments in the territory of the Zhenguo Army. It's a benign chain, a good idea.

"I plan to simply implement the distributor model according to our liquor and perfume and rock candy products. Divide the entire market into countless chunks, and then recruit dealers from all over the world. In this way, we don't need to expand the market, we can use the network of local merchants to sell our products directly. Not only can the territory of Datang be divided into various different distribution areas, but also the overseas countries, which can also be divided in this way. ”

Originally, Li Jing also considered the agent model, but finally decided to choose the dealer model. The agent is selling on behalf of Li Jing, and he gets the agent sales commission. As for the distributors, Li Jing sells the goods to them, and they sell them according to their own regions. In addition to being partitioned, the goods sold by the agents are still Li Jing's, while the goods sold by the dealers are their own goods that have been bought from Li Jing.

But compared to taking commissions, there is no doubt that dealers have more independent sales, which also means that they can have greater profit margins.

For Li Jing, by selling the goods directly to the dealers, Li Jing can save many links and get money faster. It doesn't matter how much the dealers want to sell, as long as he sets the profit he wants, it's fine.

"You go and get ready, convey the news of recruiting dealers to those powerful merchants, and after the auction is over a month, we will hold a dealer meeting to let the merchants bid for the quota of dealers around the world."

Li Rang nodded, "No problem, I'll do it when I turn around." In addition, I don't think we have to pay for the food of those caravans. I can make an appointment with them to see if I can replace the food with glass. ”

Li Jing thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible, although this was a huge amount of money, but glass products are very popular now, and these merchants should be willing to exchange grain for glass. However, in this way, the glass workshop in Dazhudao has to speed up the progress and hurry up to fire the glass. (To be continued......)
