Chapter 247 Interests move people's hearts

In the past, glazed mirrors were treasures worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver and were fragile, and they needed to be carefully treasured. Only in some powerful families could women use glazed mirrors as daily necessities.

Now, as the Zhang Chamber of Commerce put out the first batch of glass mirrors in Wuchang City, those who were lucky enough to buy the first batch of glass mirrors no longer treasured the glass mirrors as treasures. A palm-sized glass mirror is priced at less than ten taels of silver, which is very cheap. Even if it is broken, it is not tempting and can be held in your hands and played with.

A restaurant

"Hey, Brother Li, are you holding a glass mirror?"

"Yes."

"It's the glass mirror sold by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce."

"Um."

"Brother Li, you are so lucky. I know that Zhang's Chamber of Commerce will sell cheap glass mirrors. When they rushed over, they were already sold out."

"Brother Wu, don't worry. The Zhang Chamber of Commerce sold glass mirrors so cheaply, and the quantity must be quite large. Maybe it won't take long to sell more glass mirrors."

"Hope so."

In the backyard of a wealthy family's mansion, a group of women chirped around a glass mirror that was one foot square.

"What a big glass mirror. I can see clearly in the mirror. Sister Lin's glass mirror is not cheap."

"It's really not cheap. It took my master more than 2,000 taels of silver to buy it, but my master said he made it. In the past, even tens of thousands taels of silver could not buy such a large glass mirror."

"I also want such a glass mirror. When my master sent the butler to buy it, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce lost a glass mirror."

"I'm lucky. I bought a glass mirror, but unfortunately I'm only the size of a palm, which is far from Sister Lin's glass mirror."

"I don't know when the Zhang Chamber of Commerce will bring out more glass mirrors to sell."

...

In Wuchang City, people who bought low-priced glass mirrors show off everywhere, and people who didn't buy low-priced glass mirrors regretted it. In the past, glass mirrors were treasures, but now glass mirrors can be taken out to show off. The price is not comparable to before, but they can meet people. There is no need to worry about the glass mirror breaking and the loss is huge. 1.

For a moment, everyone was talking about the Glass Mirror, thinking about when the Zhang Chamber of Commerce would continue to sell Glass Mirrors.

There are also a small group of people in Wuchang City discussing the Glass Mirror and the Zhang Chamber of Commerce that sells Glass Mirrors. They value the business of Glass Mirrors.

In the past, a glass mirror the size of a palm cost hundreds of taels of silver, but the price of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce was less than ten taels of silver, which was less than one-tenth of the past. This price was too low, but everyone suspected that the price of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce was even lower.

After a little investigation, you will know that the Zhang Chamber of Commerce sold glass mirrors in Wuchang City and received at least 15,000 taels of silver. I heard that the Zhang Chamber of Commerce was also selling glass mirrors in other prefectures in Huguang. How much silver is going to be earned at this time is definitely a considerable amount of money.

The powerful and merchants who value money can't sit still. How could they watch such a profitable business? Some merchants have already visited Zhang Qing and want to participate in it.

Obviously, Zhang Qing would not agree that others would participate in his glass mirror business so easily. Moreover, he gave that big man so much money, that big man would block most of the trouble for him and then take out some money for other big men. By then, no one would dare to move this glass mirror business.

Zhang Qing had already planned to throw out all the money earned from this first business of Liulijing to honor those big shots.

Only one day has passed, and through various channels, people who have ideas about the glass mirror know more. They have confirmed that the glass mirror of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce is from Guangdong.

Guangdong is the ruling area of ​​the People's Army. In the past, glass mirrors also leaked from Guangdong. The shopping malls for transporting glass mirrors in Western countries mainly docked in Guangdong.

Now there are more glass mirrors leaking from Guangdong. It seems that it is not a strange thing, but the price of glass mirrors sold by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce is too low, so low that most of them think that the Zhang Chamber of Commerce will continue to sell glass mirrors, so there is something wrong with this.

They have been living in the inland world. They don’t know where the Western countries that produce glass mirrors are. They must be very far away and cannot transport too many glass mirrors to China, so the price of glass mirrors is so high.

Suddenly a batch of glass mirrors appeared, and the price would be reduced a little, nor would it be reduced so much.

"Can you already produce glass mirrors in Guangdong?" Some people had the same idea in their minds.

It is useless to have this idea. Guangdong is already a ruling area of ​​the People's Army, and the Ming Dynasty and the People's Army are enemies. They have no way to send people to Guangdong to understand the situation.

However, there are many people with ability and background. Soon, the specific situation of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce's Liulijing business was found out, including the big man behind Zhang Qing, General Lin, the focus of the Liulijing business, and even the Liang Chamber of Commerce in the People's Army-ruled region.

At this time, the big man took action. After taking so much money from Zhang Qing, he would have more money in the future. He also wanted to protect Zhang Qing's business of Liulijing.

As soon as the big shots spoke, the fewer people dared to attack Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing personally brought generous gifts to respect the big shots in Wuchang City, and promised that there would be more filial piety in the future.

Seeing that Zhang Qing can be a good person, these big names also restrain their own people. There are almost no one who dares to attack Zhang Qing openly. They just hope to cooperate with Zhang Qing and allow themselves to participate in the business of this glazed mirror.

Zhang Qing did not refuse all of them. If he had some relationships in other places, he could consider cooperation. Zhang Qing had the idea of ​​opening up the Glass Mirror to another place, but that was a future matter. Now we must first meet the needs of people in Huguang area for Glass Mirror.

There are a very small number of people who saw that they could not cooperate with Zhang Qing and were very envious of the Liuli Mirror business, so they planned to try to contact General Lin and even the Liang Chamber of Commerce. If they could get in touch with each other, they might be able to participate in the Liuli Mirror business by themselves.

Zhang Qing didn't know this. After giving generous gifts to all the big names, Zhang Qing hurriedly left Wuchang City and went to Linwu County. However, this time, there were more guards following Zhang Qing, with glass mirrors worth tens of thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was enough for some people to snatch them.

As early as when the Zhang Chamber of Commerce sold the glass mirrors almost the same, Zhang Qing sent people to Linwu County to contact the people of the Liang Chamber of Commerce to buy more glass mirrors.

On the Liang Chamber of Commerce, before the silver was shipped back to Guangzhou City, Liang Xin bought another batch of glass mirrors from the People's Chamber of Commerce with three thousand equal coins, which was three times that of the first batch of glass mirrors, and just spent all the money from the first batch of glass mirror business.
