Lao Xie shows off his power

Want to go the high-end luxury goods route? Then simply quote 10,000 taels of silver each without any counter-offering. It is estimated that no one in the entire Hainan Island can afford it. They may be able to sell some in Jiangnan, Guangzhou, but the volume will definitely not be large.

But there is one thing that is very troublesome - the luxury goods business is largely a matter of luck, and it cannot be considered as a stable source of income. The money comes in too slowly, which is not in line with their idea of ​​getting rich quickly by relying on the glass industry.

.

But if you want to take the low-price civilian route, what price is appropriate? This is another science. The manufacturing cost of these mirrors is actually very low, and you can make a profit even if you ask for 10 taels per side. But if the price is too high

If it becomes cheaper, there will inevitably be a large number of second-hand dealers reselling it, and then the hard work of making the finished product will only let others make money in vain. This kind of idiotic thing will definitely not be done by Chuanchuangzhong.

Therefore, the quotation cannot be reported casually. If you don’t know the specific market price, if you quote too high, it will make the other party laugh in vain, and you will lose the opportunity in future negotiations. But if the quote is too low, you will be the winner for no reason. And

The price quoted for the first time is often used as a reference price in the future, so it cannot be said casually.

Lin Feng hesitated for a long time and still couldn't make up his mind. It should be feasible to quote one or two hundred, but he was not willing to do so. After all, this is the best mirror in today's era - their glass mirror is made using silver mirror reaction, and the back of the glass is plated with silver.

, its brightness and reflectivity are much better than the tin film mirrors of this era, and it does not require mercury to be manufactured, which has more advantages in terms of production speed and safety.

But if you quote one or two thousand, you don't know if the other party will regard them as crazy - it has been so long since the Ming Dynasty, and everyone has some idea of ​​the prices in this era. In this era, one acre is

A good paddy field only costs a few taels of silver, but a small glass mirror costs hundreds of acres of land, which is worth the entire property of many middle-class families. This seems a bit too crazy?

Just when he was at a loss, someone came out to help him - it was not one of his own, but the fat businessman named Mo who was sitting among the group of people opposite.

"This kind of glass mirror once appeared in the Guangzhou market. Mo Mou was lucky enough to see it. It was inlaid with gold and covered with silver. But it was only about the size of a palm, and it was not so bright..."

The owner of the Mo Family Trading Company interjected, his face full of envy. However, the official Xu immediately looked back at him, with a hint of chill in his eyes. The fat man from the Mo Family immediately shut up, his face full of confusion.

color.

But this little hint was enough. Xie Xi immediately seized the opportunity and laughed:

"Okay. Then please boss Mo, please be more considerate and ask for a quote for us. This thing is quite troublesome to make, and we are not greedy. As long as we can recover the cost. "

Lao Jie finally got impatient with Lin Feng's dilly-dallying and went into battle himself shirtless. He showed off the same vigor that he used to do in the business world, joking and laughing, and quickly grasped the situation. It didn't take long for him to get along with those who were still a little reserved.

The local merchants became familiar with each other. It's a pity that I don't have cigarettes or alcohol at the moment. Otherwise, I might be able to call them brothers after the banquet.

After that, Butler Cheng came forward to discuss with them some details such as price sharing, distribution of goods, and stores on the mainland. The main purpose was to reach an agreement on the supply of sugar. Let’s not talk about the salt for the time being. As for the glass

Mirror……

Jie Xi once again put on the bold look of a Shandong man, and waved his hand grandly:

"These mirrors are given to you! There was a lot of noise when we entered the city a few days ago. We disturbed the villagers, so consider this our apology. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. After the grudges are resolved,

We are just friends, so these are considered gifts, so don’t be stingy. ”

——I have never seen government extortion, and I have never seen rebels giving gifts. Those businessmen have been on tenterhooks ever since they entered the gate of the government office, and they were all prepared to be stabbed and to give some blood to ward off the disaster. Unexpectedly,

The other party had no intention of forcing each other. From the beginning to the end, they talked about cooperation with them on an equal footing. And they even gave them such a big gift.

And the words behind Xie Xi made them even more excited:

"Please do me a favor by the way. Ask your friends to check the price of this mirror. We won't let everyone's work go in vain. This glass mirror is a new product. The agent has not yet been determined. Who can come up with the most reasonable price at that time?

Whoever you quote will become our general agent in the glass industry on the mainland! From now on, all our mirror products will be handed over to him for wholesale!"

This promise is really no small matter, and many of the businessmen here are familiar with it - as long as they can get involved in this glass mirror business, they will surely embark on the road to wealth. And if it is really what this person said, he can become a millionaire.

The agent of this mirror...the Jiangnan salt merchant is the richest in the world? Fuck him.

A group of people stood up at the same time, their eyes a little red. In the end, Boss Xu had more authority and coughed, subduing everyone around him.

After that, everyone chatted for a while, but this time the attitudes of both parties were very different from before. If these people were just indifferent to the time-travel audience at first, then after watching the movie, they probably barely reached neutrality; the old explanation is that

The thoughtful words pushed the relationship to friendship; after giving gifts, it rose to respect... and now, I believe it is not far away from worship.

At this time, Pang Yu took advantage of the situation and suggested: Their old friends, the Cheng family, also wanted to set up an outlet on the mainland, so as to understand some external market conditions, and hoped to get help from friends... This is a very logical thing.

As expected, those merchants readily agreed, and Xu Daguan among them was even more enthusiastic. Hearing that they hoped to open their outlets in a lively big city, preferably Guangzhou, they immediately kept saying that they would give up their shops in Guangzhou.

His generosity and sincerity are a far cry from his previous fussing over things.

Until the end, when all the business was done and the tea was clearly served and the guests were sent off, the businessmen actually refused to leave. He took turns inviting them to take time to visit his home, and always insisted on breaking his vows and making promises.

After agreeing, they left one after another unsatisfied.

"Huh... finally done, what time is it now?"

Xie Xi almost collapsed from exhaustion. Hearing what was heard outside, it was already late at night - they had a few good mechanical watches, but they didn't usually wear them for fear of accidentally damaging them. This thing would be used in navigation in the future.

The function is much more important than simple timing.

So now everyone has gradually become accustomed to using the local inaccurate time concept, and asking others about time has changed from "What time is it now?" to "What time is it?"

"It's already the fourth update... You gentlemen are indeed extraordinary. Yan has been on duty for so many years, and he has never seen anyone be so sincerely convinced by these businessmen in such a short period of time. Mr. Xu from Qiongshan, Anding

Mo's, they are one of the largest merchants on the island. They have been running the business for several generations, but they are not easy to deal with. "

——The chief bookkeeper, Yan Wenchang, has been accompanying them until now, providing them with information anytime and anywhere. The strong help of this local man is also an important factor for the negotiation to be so smooth. Even the judge had to admit that this person

He is very knowledgeable about official and business routes. If he were born in modern times, he would at least be the secretary of the party committee of the development zone.

Therefore, Jie Xi was also very polite to him - this kind of compound talent may not have a good future in the Ming Dynasty, but under their system, it will definitely be of great use. Of course, he must be well roped in:

"Haha, thank you for the reminder, Lao Yan. Don't worry, we never treat our friends badly - come to our place later when you have time. There are many bigger and better mirrors in the warehouse. You can choose from them.

"

"Okay, okay...easy to say, easy to say...thank you, thank you..."

Just as Yan Wenchang was laughing so hard that he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind, Wang Pu and Wang Jieshan did not go to bed, but walked in in a hurry.

"Since you have a charity heart, why don't you use it to help refugees? The North Gate was bombarded a few days ago, which caused the loss of life and the displacement of the people. What are those merchants doing! When it comes to losses, the losses of the people are the greatest. You have committed a crime.

…”

This Wang Tuiguan was probably used to being a crazy person in the past. He was a little scrupulous at first, but then his accusations became louder and louder, and he actually pointed his finger at Lao Jie's nose. The latter had a black face to begin with.

It was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Pang Yu Lingning looked at each other from behind and shook his head helplessly. In fact, they didn't have a good impression of this bird man, but after all, he was a genuine second-ranked Jinshi. We all will have to deal with the Ming Dynasty officialdom in the future. If we kill him here

If you lose a Jinshi, there will be too many troubles.

Not wanting him to lose his life in vain, Ling Ning stepped forward and pushed his hand away:

"Speak politely!"

But Jie Xi's anger could no longer be restrained. He stepped forward and slapped the two hundred and fifty in the face, causing the Jinshi master to spin twice in circles. His hat flew far away, and he was stunned even more with his face covered.

.

"Sin? It's your mother's fault! I worked so hard to discuss everything with Lao Yan and the others. Things that were supposed to be solved as soon as we logged in were all messed up by you idiot! You're being polite if you don't deal with it. Pay him back*

*Accusing us? Who do you think you are?"

While cursing, Lao Jie turned around and ran straight to the door, snatched a rifle from the guard's hand, and almost stabbed Wang Pu in the face with his shining bayonet, scaring the latter so much that he sat down on the ground.

"If the brothers hadn't stopped me, I would have stabbed you on the same day - what's so great about being a Jinshi? I'm short-haired! The Ming Dynasty's generals and soldiers have all been blown up, why do you still care about you, a little promotion officer?
