Chapter 92 Exhibition
The emergence of glass in this era is definitely a huge profit-making industry, and this huge profit makes Xiao Ming unable to calm down.
Because of this, he gave the right to operate glass to his Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.
However, Xiao Ming ate alone, so other businessmen from other places would not be happy. They might cause trouble when operating their chassis, so Xiao Ming proposed a plan to auction the glass sales rights after half a year.
In this way, he can not only make his first pot of gold, but also comfort these businessmen.
A few days later, the glass exhibition that Xiao Ming mentioned was officially held in Dongcheng City. All the glass produced by workers these days were taken out.
Xiao Ming also allocated soldiers from the Qingzhou army to maintain order on the scene.
People are no longer surprised by various new vocabulary merchants in Qingzhou. After figuring out the meaning of this exhibition, they flocked to each other today.
"Is this glass?"
The merchants whispered below, just like the reactions of Wang Shijie and Qin Mu. The merchants were deeply shocked by this strange thing when they saw the glass.
"Crystal clear, cold and smooth as skin, this is really a magical thing."
At the exhibition, glass was allowed to be picked up and viewed, and some businessmen exclaimed after appreciating it.
"Brother Han, how do you think this glass is compared to porcelain?" a businessman asked his companion.
"Porcelain is exquisite, but the value of this glass is crystal clear and rare, and its value cannot be estimated. However, if it is taken out, it will inevitably be loved by the powerful." said the businessman surnamed Han.
"I think so too. In my opinion, this glass can make more money than that soap and fine wine, but the auction of the distribution rights is probably more expensive."
"That's true, but we earn back quickly. If we do business, we must dare to take risks."
"Brother Han taught me a lesson."
"…"
The exhibition venue is a circular venue with ropes pulled up on the outside and the glass inside is placed on some wooden stools. The merchants walked around the wooden stools and admired the glass of different shapes.
As time goes by, more and more merchants come here, and merchants are increasingly looking forward to how King Qi will auction the distribution rights of this glass.
But Li Kaiyuan's arrival made them a little disappointed because he brought Xiao Mingdi glass sales methods.
"In half a year?" asked a businessman.
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."
There are still many new businessmen from other places who don’t know much about the Chamber of Commerce now. After Li Kaiyuan said this, they suddenly felt that the Chamber of Commerce has become very important.
I thought about waiting for the exhibition, so I paid a fee to join the chamber of commerce.
At first, there was no fee for joining the Chamber of Commerce, but with the increase of merchants, Xiao Ming added this one.
"It's a pity that it takes half a year to lose a lot of money."
Ding Wanquan was also standing below at this time. Although he was a celebrity in front of the King of Wei, Li Kaiyuan is now the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. Li Kaiyuan has the final say under Xiao Ming.
Now that Li Kaiyuan comes out to speak, it seems that this is what King Qi means.
The smart businessmen could guess the arrangements of King Qi as soon as they guessed. From this, they could see the huge profits of this glass, and even King Qi was not calm.
Some of the big merchants around other vassal kings stopped talking and publicly opposed it at this time, which was to not give face to the King of Qi. Instead of doing so, it would be better to visit the King of Qi in private.
The open and transparent exhibition lasted all day, and the name of glass spread rapidly among the merchants, and the people of Qingzhou City also talked about it with relish.
The King of Qi has created another magical thing.
After the exhibition, the merchants dispersed one after another. They went back to find solutions, while some merchants prepared generous gifts and went directly to Xiao Ming's palace.
"The King of Wei, King of Yan, King of Chu, King of Zhao, King of Huainan, King of Liang, King of Runan, Princess Pingyang, Third Prince,
Prince..." In the main hall of the royal palace, Xiao Ming passed the greetings one by one, and the bitter smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
Ziyuan stood beside Xiao Ming, and it was she who sent these greetings. She said, "Your Highness, you are really a celebrity in the Great Yu Kingdom now. Now, both the vassal kings, princesses and princes are coming to ask you."
"Hmph, it's just a prayer, it's just a routine matter. It's okay for me to write three hundred books a day for such posts." Xiao Ming put a stack of prayer posts in Luluo's hand and said, "It's just a fire lead to be used as a coal ball stove."
Luluo glanced at Natural, thinking that Xiao Ming had been irritated again, and saw Ziyuan nodding, then she went out with her prayer letter.
"Your Highness, this is always a good thing. At least they are always worried about you now and dare not neglect it easily." Ziyuan said.
Ziyuan means that she wants Xiao Ming to meet these merchants. Concubine Zhen sent him here and also wants her to be a good wife to Xiao Ming. If Xiao Ming is wrong, she can persuade her.
At this time, Xiao Ming was reconciling his relationship with other vassal kings, princesses, and princesses. She thought this was not a bad thing for Xiao Ming.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said, "I must meet you, but their master was so despised by me in the past, and now he has to repay me. I said that I was taking a shower and changing clothes and asked them to wait for a while." Xiao Ming said.
Aster nodded and bowed to leave the main hall.
At this time, Xiao Ming sat down, tapped his fingers on the table and was thinking about how to deal with these merchants.
When he announced that he would sell glass half a year later, he thought that some big merchants would be unable to hold back, and he knew exactly who these people were.
Their purpose was nothing more than to get some privileges. In an era like the Great Yu Kingdom, which is full of privileges, it is normal.
Everyone is exchanging interests, either cooperating or wearing shoes with each other.
Therefore, if we cannot avoid giving them some privileges, Xiao Ming will get what he wants.
What he needs now is nothing more than silver and craftsmen, which are the most basic elements of the industrial foundation, and only these two things can make him feel relieved.
Thinking of this, he thought about it and then asked Ziyuan to invite the merchants in.
The first person who appeared outside the main hall was Ding Wanquan. Then the merchants of King Yan's surname Han and the merchants of King Liang's Lu's family walked in one by one, with a total of twenty-five merchants.
Some of these merchants came from fiefs of vassal kings of different surnames, some came from fiefs of royal vassal kings, and some vassal merchants of princes and princesses. It can be said that the group of people with the highest power in the Great Yu Kingdom.
