Bianliang City, north of Yanzhao, south of Jianghuai, water and land metropolis, the situation is rich. Bianliang City is far from the Daimyo's Mansion, but ten posts, if there is a change, the army is pouring in, and the thunder is too late to cover the ears.

From the Daimyo Mansion to Bianliang City, Cao Yun runs through the north and south, and the water and land transportation is an important place, which is naturally the best choice for business expansion.

Although there have been many wars around Gyeonggi, the transportation has not yet been cut off, and the choice of Bianliang City is naturally the best choice.

Although it has been repeatedly warned, Bianliang City still has a population of more than 500,000, and the shops on the street are still lined up, and the people on the street are still flowing endlessly, and the people are bustling and people coming and going. The front shop and the back square, the street is vertical and horizontal, and it can be seen that the prosperity of Bianliang City is extraordinary.

The lively Daxiangguo Temple is definitely the most prosperous place in Bianliang City. clean and tidy streets, rich businessmen and magnates in brocade clothes, dignitaries and nobles; high-spirited and well-educated people; Heavy makeup, fragrant ladies, rich women, all kinds of people, etc., are all available.

This is the commercial center of Bianliang City, jewelry and jade shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, splendid silk shops, antique calligraphy and painting shops, and even restaurant tiles are everywhere, which is a frequent haunt place for the people of Bianliang City.

A few days ago, all the wealthy businessmen in Bianliang City received a famous post from a glass shop called "Yazangxuan" in Xiaotianshui Lane, inviting them to participate in the opening of their store. Deng Shixiong, the shopkeeper of "Yazangxuan", is a wealthy man from Hebei.

The Song Dynasty allowed and even encouraged officials to do business, and during the Song Dynasty, only in the Song Dynasty, the wealthy officials in the private mansion business (goods and inns) included the prime ministers Zhao Pu and He Zhizhong, and the military attachés Mi Xin and Bao Ji. During the reign of Song Renzong, Wang Anshi once complained in the "Book of Speeches of Emperor Shangrenzong" that the income of officials in the Song Dynasty was too low, and he used all means to make money: "The officials are small, selling beards, beggars, and doing everything." ”

Liu Guangshi, one of the so-called "Four Generals of Zhongxing", is a typical example, he once publicly used 8,000 soldiers to engage in his own logistics business, calling himself "contemporary Tao Zhu Gong".

Another "Zhongxing Four Generals", Zhang Jun, who was a privy envoy, is a leader in business, as long as he can make money, he is involved in it. He served as an envoy to build a wine shop in Lin'an Mansion, named "Taiping Lou", and sent people to trade overseas, selling ceramics, silk and other specialties, in exchange for ivory, agarwood and other things to sell in the Song Dynasty, making a profit of dozens of times.

This is not the end, Zhang Jun also annexed a large amount of fertile land and rented it to servants, and the annual income from land rent alone reached more than 600,000 grains. The history books said that Zhang Jun "had a lot of silver", and the people of Lin'an also ridiculed Zhang Jun as "sitting in the eyes of money".

In front of the "Yazang Xuan", there are constantly people entering with invitations. The guys are polite and smiling and invite guests in.

Today is the opening day of "Yazang Xuan".

Glass is a new product, there are no identical or similar products on the market, and the sales are both retail and wholesale. Of course, as a large-scale production of glass factory, Wang Song naturally hopes to wholesale, even if it is cheaper, but also to get a large amount of money as quickly as possible.

The canal runs through the north and south, and there are many merchants in Bianliang City, which can be used to open up the market and sell glass to the south of the Yangtze River and overseas.

The second courtyard inside the "Yazang Xuan" is a glass exhibition hall similar to the exhibition hall of later generations. One-person tall glass display shelves stand against the wall, divided into several layers, on which various glass products are placed in an orderly manner.

The design and construction of the exhibition hall was made by Wang Song according to the glass exhibition hall of later generations. Huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows and glass doors ensure plenty of light inside. The delicate curtains make it subtle again.

In the middle of the exhibition hall, there is a round table with a glass surface, on which are placed more than a dozen glasses of different shapes, which are poured with fine wine from the Western Regions, which has a unique scenery. Guests can enjoy a drink while admiring.

The guests walked in one by one, and carefully picked up the products on the display shelves, three by two, and commented.

As soon as Zhao Han, who had a big nose and curly hair, came in, his eyes were immediately dazzled by the objects inside. For the first time in my life, I have seen such transparent, consistent size and shape, and such delicate "glass" products. He couldn't help but be dazzled, dumbfounded, and a little confused at the same time.

Strings of crystal necklaces and bracelets of various sizes attract the attention of many guests. They picked up the beads and looked at them carefully, and they couldn't put it down. These beads are not only the same size, but also the same as the Buddha beads, round and greasy, all kinds of sizes, really extraordinary, used to give away or wear for themselves is no longer magnificent, a string of 60 to 100 the price can also be accepted.

Even if you go to the alum building for a meal, you have to prepare hundreds of dollars, not to mention such a rare thing.

There are also oblong hollow beads, which are strung together as ornaments, which are also very magnificent. Add to that the glasses, all kinds of dishes, wine glasses, fruit plates, it really has everything and attracts attention.

"Zhao Ren, tell me, have you ever seen such a clear thing? These Song people are so clever that they can create such a thing! ”

Zhao Han picked up a transparent embossed glass bowl and whispered to a middle-aged man who looked close next to him.

"Zhao Han, this thing is so crystal clear, and the size is uniform, it's simply unheard of! The point is that there is no market on it, and if you can invest it on the street, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

Zhao Ren's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

Zhao Ren and Zhao Han were both Jews, and in the 10th century AD, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianliang City, prospered, and was attracted by foreigners, many of whom loved the splendid Chinese civilization and eventually chose to stay. The ancestors of Zhao Ren and others were the same, they came to the Song Dynasty from Persia via the Silk Road, and brought a lot of tribute to the Song Emperor Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji treated them warmly, and gave them the preferential treatment of "returning to my midsummer, abiding by the ancestral style, and leaving Bianliang", and gave them seventeen Han surnames, of which there are seven main surnames: Zhao, Ai, Li, Zhang, Shi, Jin, Gao, and also include the surname Zhang from Zhang, a total of eight families. Among them, the surname Zhao that was given belonged to the national surname at that time, which shows how much the emperor of the Song Dynasty attached importance to them. Since then, this group of Jews has settled in China and multiplied for generations to come.

Jews were born merchants, and Lu Yao called them the gypsies of Europe, who disdained settlement and wandered.

The two Jewish Song people looked at the delicate things in front of them, and they were all full of interest and couldn't take their eyes off it, but they were already thinking in their hearts about how and at what price to sell these treasures.

In the exhibition hall, several articulate guys are explaining the shape and size of the products to the visiting merchants for the guests to choose.

The Song people were wealthy, and many of the people who came to watch them bought some things they couldn't put down. From the 20 silver water cup, the 200 silver vase, to the 500 taels of drape, everyone is happy, using up all the things in the bag, and then they are happy.

There were so many people in front of the store, Deng Shixiong couldn't help but regret in his heart, he brought too few things.

A wealthy Sichuan businessman who came to Bianliang City bought 300 water cups at once, bargained, spent 5,000 yuan, and finally left happily.

Another Huguang giant, passing by inadvertently, bought more than 100 vases at once, and spent tens of thousands.

At this time, Deng Shixiong couldn't help but admire Wang Songlai again. I don't know what Wang Song has in his mind to create such an ingenious thing.

A thin scholar with a round neck, a green robe and a hanging head, and an older scholar dressed similarly walked in.

When the two saw the glass products on the shelves, they were very surprised, and they kept looking at the samples and looked very carefully.

"Two officials, is there anything you need to ask?"

The guy smiled and said respectfully.

"Brother, may I ask if all this bowl is made exactly the same? Are there any other sizes? ”

The younger gentleman asked softly with a small bowl in relief.

"Yes, officer. All are exactly the same. This size is used for regular banquets, and it is best used for rice and soup. There are also two sizes, one for children and one for food or fruit. You see, this is a sample, and it's all exactly the same size. ”

When Shizi saw Deng Shixiong next to him, he couldn't help blurting out: "Deng Shixiong, why are you here?"

No wonder he asked. Deng Shixiong is Wang Song's follower, Wang Song is gone, but he can't imagine that he has done business.

Deng Shixiong hurriedly stepped forward with Xiao and said respectfully: "The villain has seen Zhao Xianggong."

It turned out that the person who came was Zhao Ding, the secretary of Dali Temple, Zhao Ruolan's biological father. He didn't have an invitation, but he was uninvited.

Seeing Zhao Ding's fascination, Deng Shixiong smiled and said: "Since it is Xianggong who is here, I will give Xianggong a few mundane things."

Zhao Ding shook his head and glared: "Wang Song is dead, and it is not easy for you, how can this official take your things." When I saw my thirty-six mother, let her go home, and everyone in the family missed her. ”

He is an official eunuch and has a lot of money, so he naturally doesn't care about these little money. Besides, Wang Song is dead, so why should he be embarrassed by these loyal people under Wang Song.

Deng Shixiong shook his head secretly. The information about Wang Song's life must not be known to these people, otherwise I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause.

"Sir, do you also sell the flat glass on this door and window?"

Jin Youcheng carefully looked at the plate glass on the shelf, and his eyes were full of greed.

Seeing this glass at a glance, Jin Youcheng keenly felt that this was a huge business opportunity. For those eunuchs and wealthy businessmen in Goryeo, the windows are bright and clean, which is an excellent gimmick in itself.

Coupled with these glass bottles, glasses, glass bowls, etc., I am afraid that I will soon become rich overnight.

Kim You-sung was a foreign officer of the Goryeo Dynasty in the Great Song Dynasty, and although he was in charge of overseas trade, he was also a real official stationed in China.

"Officials have good eyesight!"

Deng Shixiong looked at the Goryeo alien in the wide robe and high hat, and explained: "Guest, this flat glass is indeed another signboard of our store. The scholars read on weekdays, but the light in the study is not good, and reading for a long time is not good for the eyes. If glass doors and windows are used and there is plenty of light, it will definitely benefit the scholars a lot. ”

"These dishes, cups and bottles are not difficult to sell. It's just that this flat glass is really fresh, and it has to be used to decorate doors and windows, and it has to test sales, so it can't be rushed. ”

Jin Youcheng thought for a moment and continued: "The quantity of goods I need is relatively large, or is it a foreign country in Goryeo, they are all such good things, can I give some favors?"

Deng Shixiong said with a smile: "The objects are good or bad, and there is no way to cheat them." You can inspect the goods before they are shipped. As for the price, there is half a concession for sea trading, I don't know if it is possible?"

The two of them were talking about speculation. After a while, it was pulled to the new product, but it made the people behind nervous, afraid that they would be the first to be taken by this Yiren and there would be no goods.

Merchants have been told that only some of the products are currently on display, and that new products will come out on and off. It seems that this "Yazang Xuan" really has a lot of potential.

In the afternoon, the merchant has a preliminary cooperation intention. For the launch of a new product, it can be described as an instant hit and a great success!

Many products, the price is very outrageous, completely beyond the surprise of everyone. The price of a string of bracelets is about 80 yuan; 10 cm glass round bowl 30 guan money......

In three days, more than 2,000 pieces of glass products were sold, and more than 60,000 yuan were sold!

And the merchant's order, excluding flat glass, is already more than 700,000 yuan. The stock is no longer enough, and it is necessary to continue to ramp up production and deliver within a month.

The muscles on Deng Shixiong's face were already distorted with laughter, and only then did he understand what Wang Song said, counting the money until his hands cramped.

It turns out that counting money, there will be cramps in the face.
