Chapter 248: The Glass Business
(qiú subscription, qiú ticket thank you)
Glass is a bit ridiculously expensive in the micro world, but in this world, it is so cheap that it is too cheap.
In fact, the production of glass is not difficult, but after Wu Huang asked the third senior brother Jin Buhuan, he finally understood why glass is a luxury in the micro world. Because they got the ingredients completely wrong! It cannot be said that it is mistaken, only because the creation of glass is the product of the alchemy process.
At the beginning of the invention, it should be said that the alchemist who discovered the transparent crystal of glass passed on the formula he obtained from glass, and as a result, some alchemists found that the raw materials of glass can only be found in the waste ballast after alchemy, and they don't even know what the specific ingredients are.
Compared to those alchemists, glass was just a handicraft that looked good, but had little practical value, and at that time, they had not yet invented the method of making large pieces of glass, or even now, large pieces of glass are difficult to make. Compared to refining weapons or magic fǎ props, refining things like glass is really more than worth the loss. Therefore, in the long run, things like glass will not prevail in the micro world.
The first is that the production cost is too high, the second is that not many alchemists are willing to spend time studying this kind of thing, and the third is that not many people think that this thing has commercial value.
This is not to say that people in the micro world are sprinklers and do not understand the use of glass in many aspects, but they are frightened by the wrong cost, and feel that the practical value of this thing is far less than the cost.
And when Wu Huang got the answer from the third senior brother, and saw that the third senior brother said that he was proud of refusing to hire him to make glass for a certain nobleman at that time, Wu Huang rolled his eyes speechlessly. If it weren't for their preconceived ideas and felt that the production of glass was very expensive, then ......,
Although he felt that this kind of thing was incredible, but thinking about it, Wu Huang felt that it seemed extremely normal. Just like a person who made paper for the first time, how would he know that things like bark and mulberry hemp can make such beautiful paper? Although quartz is a common mineral, in the eyes of alchemists, it is simply a useless road commodity, and in their eyes, there is only that kind of mineral that is extremely rare and can only be useful for refining.
The quartz sand that appeared in the process of refining the artifact became a transparent glass ball before they had time to discover it, and they had no leisure to study the transparent crystals that were easy to break and could only be used as handicrafts.
In addition, there is another reason, which is the arrogance of the alchemists themselves. Take Wu Huang's third senior brother Jin Huan as an example, he doesn't look down on handicrafts at all, and the status of the worker and the alchemist is very different, one is in the sky and the other is underground, and letting him refine handicrafts In his opinion, it is an insult to him. And in Wu Huang's opinion, this reason is still somewhat reliable.
It's just that when Wu Huang found a glass factory and asked about the situation of various glasses, he felt a little ridiculous about his previous idea of using bulletproof glass to make shields. If you don't understand the situation, it's really just a matter of course!
Although bulletproof glass can be bulletproof, it is not really undamaged after being shot by a bullet. The bulletproof glass quilt will still shatter if it is ejected, but because it is laminated glass, there is a layer of polycarbonate fiber thermoplastic sandwiched in it, even if it is broken, it will not scatter and splash like ordinary glass. However, after being broken, the defensive performance of bulletproof glass will naturally deteriorate, and it is still irreparable. …,
In other words, if he wanted to make a shield out of bulletproof glass, it could only be a one-time consumable, a luxury, and the gains outweighed the losses.
After throwing out his ridiculous thoughts, Wu Huang seriously looked at the characteristics of various types of glass.
However, after solving the glass, there is another problem, and that is the glass dāo. Glass dāo, here refers to the dāo used for gē glass. As we all know, the dāo head of glass dāo is made of diamond or some kind of alloy material that is harder than glass. And the glass dāo in the present world, when taken to the micro realm, is almost the same height as a person, and such a large object is really difficult to use.
In the end, Wu Huang had to go back to the mountain behind the Weijie Sacred Courtyard and ask the third senior brother for help. With the principle of making glass dāo, and the fact that the third senior brother is an alchemist, it is still very easy to make a glass dāo.
Wu Huang mǎi has a lot of transparent glass and reflective glass, and in the present world, people gē square glass about 20 centimeters wide before being brought to the micro world.
When everything was ready, Wu Huang returned to the Wu Mansion under the previous money, recruited Lu Lifu, and destroyed the seven slaves who were regarded as waste. Of these seven slaves, Wu Huang made one of them named Lian Shan their captain. Because this Lianshan is the most conscientious and responsible, he can complete the tasks assigned by Lu Lifu on time, and he has completed it quite beautifully, so in Wu Huang's opinion, he must be rewarded for doing a good job. In order to highlight their achievements, Wu Huang directly asked Lian Shan to be the deputy steward of the Wu Mansion, in charge of Lu Lifu on the other side of the Earl's Palace, and he is still the chief steward of the Wu family...
Seeing Wu Huang gather them, several people were a little confused. It's just that when Wu Huang summoned a pile of glass from the stone bead space in front of them, they were a little stunned. It's not that Wu Huang was shocked because he was carrying a magic fǎ storage prop, after all, Wu Huang, as a disciple of the pavilion master, had a magic fǎ storage prop, which was really a normal thing in normal. However, when such a pile of glass was summoned, some of them could not understand it.
Although they are slaves, they have also heard of glass, a luxury thing. But now, their master actually threw out such a pile of luxuries in front of them, how could they not be surprised!
"Young yé, are you going to use this glass to decorate this wholesale store?" Lu Lifu asked with some distress. Now that he has slowly integrated into the role of a housekeeper, he has always felt for Wu Huang, who has always been generous, and at the same time, he is always thinking about Wu Huang.
In fact, decorating a paper wholesale store, why bother to be so generous! Based on the quality of the paper they produced, it is estimated that there will be a crazy robbery at that time, so why waste it so much! It's really not worth it!
Wu Huang shook his head and said: "Paper is just one of the businesses, from now on, we can still do this kind of glass business." Of course, you can continue to find Wan Jiāngqi to come over and cooperate, let him do zero shòu, let's only do wholesale business. "Wu Huang knows that doing wholesale is much less trivial, although he doesn't earn as much as he earns. But compared with the two, Wu Huang would rather have fewer trivial things and save some time to practice.
"What does less mean that you can get a lot of luxury goods like glass?" Lu Lifu's eyes lit up and he asked.
Wu Huang nodded, then called Guo Lianshan, took out a cǎo map from his bosom and handed it to him, and said, "You go find some people to come and give chāi the wall facing the street in this side courtyard, and then decorate it according to the appearance explained on this cǎo map." After a pause, Wu Huang said to Lian Shan and his companions: "The seven of you are no longer slaves now, since you have chosen to stay, you should work hard, and you should not be as depressed as you are now!" I say again, without vindictiveness, there will be no sǐ people. But if you don't have the courage to live, then why are you still alive? Don't you think you're dragging down your fellow travelers? ”…,
A few people in Lianshan were said by Wu Huang to be a little unnatural, especially the six people who were passable.
"I won't say much about the rest, I'll leave it to you here! As long as you let me see that you are working hard, in the future, it will be no problem for you to be in charge of a business, or let you set up your own business and do business on your own. That's all I have to say, you can do it yourself! ”
Wu Huang said, taking out two handfuls of glass dāo and said, "Here are two handfuls of dāo ...... used to separate glass." After a pause, he said, "I'll show you how to use it!" As he spoke, he walked over to the pile of glass, reached out and pulled down a glass plate......,
In other words, compared with the original glass in the micro world, these glasses are at least four or five times higher in hòu. In the micro world, this glass can already be used as a room divider. Wu Huang took a piece of partition wood, pressed it on top of the glass, and then gently pulled it down with the edge of the partition with the glass, and then gently pulled the glass "pop, and the glass broke with the scratches."
"See! It's actually very simple, which of you will try it? Wu Huang handed the glass dāo out.
It was still that Lianshan who stood up and said, "Lord Earl, let me try!" ”
Looking at Lian Shan's serious expression, Wu Huang nodded, when he was this kind of person who was willing to do things seriously, Wu Huang still appreciated it.
When Wu Huang instructed these people on how to cut the glass, he asked Lu Lifu to send someone over to summon Wan Jiāngqi. Now Wan Jiāngqi is in the paper industry of the imperial capital, and it can be regarded as a good mix. Moreover, now he is still wearing a halo on his body, and this aura makes him like a fish in water.
And this aura was also brought to him by Wu Huang, who called him Wan Jiāng's cousin! Now many people know that Wan Jiāng lives in Wu Huang's Earl's Mansion, and Wu Huang, a closed disciple of the Holy Court Pavilion Master and the youngest earl in the imperial capital, I don't know how many people want to slap him.
In fact, after Wu Huang became a disciple of the pavilion master and was made an earl, many nobles had already surrendered to the door, but Wu Huang ignored it, he didn't have the time, and he didn't have the leisure. And if he only chooses to respond to one or two, then he will get other ones who don't respond.
Therefore, Wu Huang simply refused the banquet invitations of those nobles in the name of cultivation, and asked Lu Lifu to come to the door one by one to thank him!
If you can't find anyone with Wu Huang, you may become Wu Huang, the brother-in-law of the earl, you can always do it!
When Wan Jiāngqi saw Wu Huang pointing to a pile of glass and asked him if he was interested in cooperating, he was stunned! )
