Marin suddenly had 10,000 alpacas whizzing by in his heart - Damn, I was thinking of using this technology to make an exclusive profit, and you made it all?
Marin really didn't understand the history of mirrors. He only knew it was in the early mid-16th century, and he didn't know which year it was. How could he know that Venice had created it very early. Otherwise, how could Venice have so much money later and could still compete with Türkiye for the Mediterranean?
You should know that since Turkey annexed Egypt, it has begun to gain geographical advantages in the eastern Mediterranean and began its attack on Venice. Venice has also fought against Turkey for nearly two hundred years. These wars are all about money.
If Venice had lost its core spice trade, it would have no money to fight with the Turks. Because of the timely appearance of glass mirrors, Venice's troops declined and even made progress. Of course, this refers to before the French stole the glass mirror technology.
After all, the Republic of Venice has soared from the current annual fiscal revenue of 1.65 million Ducat gold coins to 18 million Ducat in 1580. Putting aside the issue of gold and silver depreciation, Venice's revenue has increased a lot.
After all, even if it is a "price revolution", the overall price has increased by five or six times. However, Venice's fiscal revenue has increased from 1.65 million Ducart every year to 18 million in 1580, which has reached almost 11 times. Obviously, this is almost twice the price increase. In other words, Venice's economic history has increased greatly. The opportunity is the emergence of glass mirrors.
It can be predicted that with the glass mirror, the Venetian will definitely be able to make a beautiful turnaround this time. Marin already had a premonition of the popularity of glass mirrors. At the beginning, Marin could even imagine that the Venetian would definitely speak loudly and hype the prices of the first batch of glass mirrors...
Thinking of the price of 150,000 francs (River) in history, Marin felt very complicated. It can be foreseeable that with the glass mirror, the re-rise of Venice has become unstoppable.
Moreover, what Marin envies is that Venice is not afraid of coveting other countries...
If Marin dared to take out the glass mirror, the French and German princes might unite and force him to hand over the secret recipe by force. After all, the situation in Germany is complicated. If you are not careful, you will easily be beaten up by a group.
Venice's days are much better than Marin. Because there is no one else that can be beaten except Venice, including the Pope. Therefore, even if Venice has extremely profitable mirror projects, he is not worried about being beaten up. Because no other Italian state can beat them...
In fact, the Principality of Milan and the Kingdom of Naples in Italy were originally quite capable and had great strength. However, these two powerful states were destroyed by the French, and they moved away from Venice.
In addition, the "Cambré Alliance" that was originally formed in 1508 was dissuaded by Marin in this time and space, which has caused Venice's strength to not decline much now. Of course, Marin dug a hole and asked Venice to repair the Suez Canal in advance, which has also delayed Venice's strength.
But even so, because he had not been beaten up by the "Cambrey Alliance" for seven years, Venice was not seriously injured, and his foundation was still very strong.
Originally, Marin had doubts about Lavenes and guarding the Port of Haifa together. But when he learned that the glass mirror was born, Marin immediately understood that the Venetians had the full financial resources to take on the matter...
If you really sell it at a sky-high price of 150,000 francs (equivalent to 25,000 Ducate gold coins) with a mirror, you can sell 15 million francs, equivalent to 2.5 million gold coins by selling 100 glass mirrors, which is simply super profitable...
Of course, it is impossible to have a mirror of 150,000 francs. That should be an exception, a glass mirror with the "deluxe version" configuration of the queen. For example, if the wooden frame is changed to a gold frame, and then a master will make it by hand. As for the ordinary version, it should look like... a few thousand gold coins to ten thousand gold coins...
Because even the surrounding Italian states cannot be fought, Austria in the north is separated by the Alps, and France in the west is separated by several Italian states, so there is no threat. Therefore, the Venetians can feel assured that it has mastered the secret technology of mirror manufacturing...
Besides, the craftsmen and equipment that make glass mirrors are all on Murano Island. Even if an army breaks through the land fortress in Venice, they will not be able to grab the technology of glass mirrors.
...
The Beihai Kingdom cannot be as free and easy as Venice due to its geographical location. Because if you are not careful, it will attract joint attacks from the princes of France and Germany...
If it were other money-making projects, other German states might not unite to deal with him. But if it was a project like a glass mirror that could make a profit of 1,000 or more times, it would be strange if the German princes who were generally poor were not jealous and crazy...
Just like Marin's main grain profit now, it is just a few times the increase in output, that is, the profit has increased several times. Although it makes people jealous, it does not make people lose their minds.
However, like the Venetian glass mirror, a mirror can make 1,000 gold coins and a profit of 1,000 times... it is even more profitable than selling u products in later generations, and is even more scary than selling arms... This profit margin is clearly going to make people crazy...
So, when it comes to glass mirrors, he Marin dares not do it...
...
However, now the Venetian took the lead and created the glass mirror. While Marin was upset, he also found an opportunity...
What opportunity did Marin find? The opportunity to take advantage of the troubled waters!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yes, Marin exclusively uses glass mirrors, which is very dangerous in the German region where poverty is everywhere, but what if Venice is blocking the front to help attract firepower?
Thinking of this, Marin's eyes lit up!
The Venetian just created a glass mirror, so the price will inevitably be very high. At the same time, the eyes of the whole of Europe will also be attracted by the Venetians...
Then, Marin had the chance to do it...
At that time, Marin quietly made a batch of mirrors and secretly sold them at a high price. In this way, no one knew that Marin mastered the technology of glass mirrors, but Marin quietly made a fortune...
Of course, in order to have enough cover, Marin decided to take down the sales rights of the Venetian Glass Mirror in Germany. Then, he quietly took over the glass mirror, and no one doubted it...
At that time, Marin, who is a Venetian glass mirror agent, will quietly take out a batch of glass mirrors and mix them into the agent's products to sell them. Who knows?
You should know that in this era, information exchange was not smooth. Whether Marin sold 100 mirrors or 200 mirrors was difficult for the Venetians to know. They would only know how much goods they had to Marin, and would not have the actual sales volume of Marin in the early Qing Dynasty. At that time, with the protection of Venetian glass mirrors, Marin could produce and sell glass mirrors by himself and make huge profits...
Therefore, in order to obtain the agency sales rights of glass mirrors, Marinte led a huge team and, under the protection of hundreds of cavalry, went south to Venice to obtain the agency sales rights of Venice glass mirrors in Germany, and cover him for producing and selling glass mirrors himself...
