Chapter 25 Piracy
"We are all squad leaders or researchers." He Lin smiled happily and proudly.
"That's good." Li Xian nodded with satisfaction. Now everything is on the fast lane, and the power of industry is about to roar in this world.
Unfortunately, He Lin interrupted Li Xian's imagination with one sentence, "But Master, this textile machine has, but the raw materials are not enough. The old woman searched all over Anyang and only found two thousand pieces of raw materials; there was at least eight thousand pieces of cloth.
"Uh... it's coming soon." Li Xian immediately thought of asking Shangguan Yong, Zhang Quan and Yuan Zhao to collect textile materials before leaving.
Seeing that everything went well here, Li Xian found Song Xing, "Song Xing, take my token and whip to Wuyang City quickly, find Shangguan Yong, Zhang Quan and Yuan Zhao, and ask them to deliver all the textile materials they received as soon as possible, the faster the better."
"Yes." Song Xing shouted happily and set off overnight with his brothers. Recently, Song Xing was very excited. He changed from a yamen runner who had escaped to one of Li Xian's confidants. This is a step to reach the sky.
Song Xing and his brothers were all in the fifth and sixth floors of the Qi Refining Period, about sixth and seventh floors. They rushed to the imperial capital Wuyang City the next evening.
"Hey, tell me quickly, what did you say?" Yuan Zhao was very concerned about the "virtuous brother" who was older than him for half a year.
Song Xing and others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, "Young Master Yuan, the young master just said that you would send all the textile materials to Anyang as soon as possible, the faster the better. I didn't tell the little ones anymore, I think they were all in the letter."
"Oh, wait a moment, let's take a look."
The three letters wrote the words Shangguan, Zhang and Yuan respectively. The three of them each took their own letters.
Yuan Zhao shouted: "Oh, my brother is so angry. Let's prepare to sell 20,000 pieces of raw materials and sales channels before the New Year. He will not force the entire Anyang Textile. That's not right, it will cause Anyang to collapse."
Zhang Quan narrowed his eyes and calculated, "Twenty thousand pieces of cloth, almost two thousand stones of raw materials. I collected 800 stones here, where are you?"
Yuan Zhao laughed, "I collected 1,100 stones! Haha, I won the sales of cloth according to the amount of raw materials!"
Shangguan Yong smiled embarrassedly, "That... I collected six hundred stones. All the money was used... cough cough... Jinglou, hehe..."
When Zhang Quan heard Shangguan Yong's words, a trace of undetectable contempt flashed in his eyes, but he said, "Fortunately, this should be enough for me to be busy."
After Zhang Quan finished speaking, he looked at Song Xing again, "When I go back, I tell you that the young master, we can deliver all the 2,500 stone textile raw materials in three days at most, and we will personally escort them. The main ones are cotton and linen silk. In addition, all the dyes are also available."
"Yes, I'll leave." Song Xing and others didn't rest, but went back to Li's mansion to change to a new horse and returned overnight. For practitioners above the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, it's nothing to not sleep for three or five consecutive days, but they'll just get stuck. Notifying the young master of the information as soon as possible is the most appropriate thing.
But after completing the task, Song Xing and his men finally had the opportunity to observe Wuyang City. After a few days, the entire Wuyang City had completely changed, with colorful lights of all sizes hanging all over the street. Wuyang City at night seemed like a sky street, dazzlingly radiant.
"Wait, those colorful lanterns were not produced by us!" Song Xing's sharp eyes and immediately discovered that a colorful lantern was different from the one produced by his own. Compared with the colorful lanterns with dazzling stars, these colorful lanterns do not have a transparent glass shell, which makes the colorful lanterns lose some of their brilliance.
Song Xingqian was over a thousand horses, and when he saw the waiter at the door of the store, he immediately took out ten copper plates, "Brother, let me ask you something, where do you lanterns come from?"
The waiter happily took the copper plate and said, "Brother, you can see a neon lights shop if you walk 30 feet forward, that's it."
"Thank you."
Song Xing took the lead and walked forward. As expected, he saw a more dazzling, three-story building not far away; he did not have the bold decorations of the bright stars - floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Of course, the Chaocan Star Trading Company is also for sale for large pieces of glass that have landed on the ground, and the price is quite reasonable; however, as a direct competitor, it is obviously impossible to lose face like this, which is completely understandable.
But we cannot underestimate other people's wisdom. Although there are no large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, we use white jade to make murals of the sea of clouds, and it is also decorated with many colorful lights, which is somewhat "fairy-like".
When I got closer, I found it was indeed a "neon lights business"; there was a jasper plaque the size of a palm hanging next to the business, with two words written on it: Wang Family.
"The Wang family's property?" Song Xing's eyes turned and suddenly had an idea, "You guys are waiting outside and I'll go in and take a look."
"Brother Song, be careful." Chen Jinbing was a little worried. His young master beat the young master of the Wang family to death. The two families' grudges were alive. If their identity was revealed, Song Xing might not be able to get out.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm a customer." Song Xing stepped in. After entering, Song Xing began to observe carefully.
The uniform standard clothing is equally humble and polite, treating people with a smile, and half of the room is set as elegant seats; the colorful lanterns on the shelves are classified and marked with clear prices. It can be seen that Li Xian has forever changed the business atmosphere of the Xianyu - at least the business atmosphere of the Daxia Kingdom has begun to change.
When Song Xing was excited, a waiter followed him and was also responsible for explaining.
"You made the switch too?" Song Xing was most concerned about this. Following Li Xian every day, Song Xing certainly knew what the key was. Glass, formations, etc., Li Xian didn't care about it; what Li Xian cared about the most was this inconspicuous switch.
"Of course, the switch is not much difficult. As long as you have an in-depth understanding of the formation and study it in depth, you can find this small switch."
"Yeah, it's not bad." Song Xing said something against his will. While walking and observing, he picked a few more representative colored lanterns that were easy to carry.
After seeing all the colorful lanterns on the first floor, Song Xing asked naturally: "How long does your colorful lanterns last?"
“One year.”
"Why aren't there...well, the kind of colored lights with glass shells?"
"It's coming soon, we have mastered some production methods of glass."
Song Xing asked about "glass", but waiter answered "glass". This is a big difference. Under the influence of Li Xian, people called pure and transparent glass, and those with mixed colors called glazing.
When you mention the word "glass", you will think of crystal clear, pure and bright; when you mention "glass", you will think of the colors that are mixed and vulgar. This is also the business concept advocated by Li Xian.
So Song Xing asked immediately, and his tone seemed a little unhappy: "I'm asking about glass, not glass."
The waiter was calm and said, "Customer, we really haven't mastered the way to make glass yet, but the existing colorful lanterns are also very exciting, and the price is 20% lower than that of the dazzling stars."
"Okay, wrap all these for me, how much does it cost?" After inquiring about the situation, Song Xing was about to leave.
"Okay, there are 48 taels of silver in total."
Without saying a word, Song Xing took out a small ingot of gold ingots, five taels of gold. The waiter respectfully retrieved two taels of silver.
When Song Xing left the door, several people immediately started to fight and left Wuyang City before the city gate was closed.
