646 Glass Palace Lamp
The two glass melting furnaces located in Xiliuhe Industrial Zone should be the hottest glass kilns in this era, and they have high-quality quartz sand, so the molten glass is of good quality and purity, so the transparency is extremely high.
Just a while ago, the chemical group's micro joint alkali chemical production line and coal dry distillation production line finally achieved the initial joint production, the production of three acids and two alkalis has made breakthroughs, especially in the recent limestone mining process near the Baiya coast, some special composition of limestone was accidentally discovered, after Cao Limei's research, this is a kind of miscellaneous mineral veins containing heavy metal salts, which also allows the joint alkali chemical to produce some mixed substances containing heavy metal salts.
The reason why it is said to be "mixed substances" is because of the lack of detection methods, and the detection of these substances is still being explored.
Today, the chemical laboratory is still under construction, so the specific composition and proportion of these heavy metal carbonates and sulfates are not known for a while, and they are temporarily piled up in the warehouse at that time.
One day passing by Mr. Zhao saw this, and a whim, these heavy metal salts were crushed and added to the quartz sand melt, under the action of high temperature ionization, these heavy metal salts were completely integrated into the glass liquid, and everything was normal when the glass products were made after the furnace was cooked, but after condensation and annealing, these glass products actually showed various hues such as red, blue, yellow, and green.
For this result, the members of the chemical group are very happy, which means that our glass products have a new selling point.
Through the preliminary market research, it was learned that both the compradors in Sulu and the customers in Macau were very fond of the colorful glassware.
However, when these stained glassware were put on the market, no one noticed that these stained glassware were almost identical in color, and even if they were in the same hue, there were differences in saturation and chromaticity, and the only thing that was the same was transparency.
However, customers think that this must be intentional by Australians, because this makes each utensil a unique product, which is very good, and rare is expensive, which is very marketable, isn't it?
It's just that Li Sanduo and Zhu Beiguo, who were introduced at the scene, all understand in their hearts that because the chemical industry team has no energy to come up with sophisticated detection tools, the composition of these heavy metal salts is simply a confused account, in a word, what kind of hue and saturation will appear after adding these impurities to these excessive additives is random, and the manufacturer cannot control the color and hue generated.
Of course, this is an unspeakable secret, and it is clear that there is still a long way to go for the chemical team to artificially and controllably produce stained glass with consistent hue saturation.
Regardless, customers are satisfied with the quality of the Australians' goods.
In addition, Dai Xiaoshan also elaborated on another important matter: our business with the Zhong family and the Qiao family has now reached a higher level.
Things have to start with a new glass product made by the chemical group.
At the beginning of the year, commissioned by Xiao Fei, well, in fact, this sprinkling and rolling forced Mr. Zhao to make a thin-shelled glass cover like a light bulb ----, because Xiao Fei wanted to explore some ways to make a primary vacuum glass tube, which is the basic component of the electron tube, Xiao Fei's idea is very simple: if you can't make it, you can get the light bulb out.
The Supreme Executive Committee was naturally very supportive of Xiao Fei, but because of the equipment constraints, the chemical team did not succeed in the end, but because of this, Mr. Zhao and the others had a thorough understanding of the other one-arm bottle making machine in the cave.
Then Mr. Zhao used the bottle making machine to make a hollow spherical glass shell---- and then, they will try to make five pairs of portable glass lamps on this glass shell, in fact, it is an iron candle holder and a spherical transparent glass cover, this kind of glass lamp is lit by candles inside, crystal clear and looks very beautiful.
In March this year, Mr. Zhao asked the Pride that was about to go to sea to bring this kind of glass lamp to Macao Port to try to sell it and explore the market.
When these things were taken out, they were immediately looked at by the Chinese businessmen Zhong Jia and Qiao's family who were present, and the heads of the two families said on the spot that if the other two agreed, Zhong Qiao and his family wanted to package all these glass lamps, and at the same time said that the Zhong family was willing to transfer part of the share of other glassware and mirrors to the other two.
The heads of the Ao family and the Liang family actually agreed after being polite.
One day later, the family members of Zhong Qiao's two families came to visit the Pride, saying that Australians can collect as much money as they have for this kind of glass lamp, and the price is negotiable.
First of all, with the help of the Zhong family, the Qiao family recently registered with Wang Shang Kexi in Zhennan and became a "supernumerary" businessman in the palace, while the Zhong family had a relationship with the former Ming officials in Nanjing and the current political envoy of the Qing Dynasty because of the relationship between the Qiao family in the Ming officialdom.
So the glass lamp Zhong Qiao and the two families took it and transformed it and sent it to the Qing court's internal affairs office as a tribute!
It is said that through the relationship between the Qiao family, the former Ming Jingshi rice merchant, the Zhong family got rid of Li Chengdong's involvement, washed away the identity of the Qin criminal, and hooked up with the Qing officials in Jinling, and now the Zhong family has married the Liang family, and the Liang family's backer in the mainland is the Ming general soldier Chen Shangchuan who is still active in the coastal area of Lianzhou, Leizhou, Guangxi.
It seems that the remnants of these Ming Dynasty are still laid out on both sides of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and as for this Chen Shangchuan General Soldier, he also has something to do in the history of the old world.
A few years later, the Yongli Emperor Kunming was killed, Chen Zongbing did not surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty after a trade-off, but took refuge in the Zheng family, and later had two ends, and Wu Sangui had a leg, and later Wu Sangui failed to oppose the Qing Dynasty, this Chen General led his subordinates to vote for the king of Annam, in short, he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty for life.
It is said that Tran Shang Chuan was a feudal feudal domain in the south of Vietnam, probably near Saigon in the old world, where his family and subordinates continued to multiply until they were completely integrated into the local area, and were the originators of the local "Ming Xiang people".
The topic is back to the present, in short, now Zhong Qiao's two families are relying on these complex relationships, a while ago they actually took the line of Jiangning weaving of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because this glass lamp is a rare thing, the two family members bought these glass lamps from us and found some skilled craftsmen to transform these glass lamps, first made a round frame with brass and gold, and put the glass lamp in, and added a brass grid on the lamp mouth, put incense on it, and then inlaid with gems on the grille, and wrapped the iron base with brass, It was surrounded by silk threads and replaced with a rosewood rod, which transformed the Australian iron-bottomed pot-bellied glass lamp into a beautiful palace lamp!
After Mr. Zhao learned about this situation, he immediately expanded the scale of production, and this time the Pride arrived in Macau again, and we brought 100 pairs of these glass lamps to the two families, the key is that these glass lamps are colored, so the two overjoyed family members immediately decided to buy all the money at all costs, and of course we are happy to see it happen.
According to the news brought by the two family members, the five pairs of "palace lamps" in front of the tribute, Jiangning Weaving Mansion all dedicated to the palace, I heard that the palace is very appreciative of this glass lamp, the emperor also said that Jiangning weaving work hard, can pay tribute to this rare thing in the world, and specially gave back a pair of palace lamps as a reward.
Jiangning Weaving was also full of joy about this, saying that he would reward the Zhong family who sent the palace lamp into the house at that time, so the Zhong family's family members may be carried into the flag and promoted to the coat of the house.
Therefore, the Qiao family and the Zhong family have already said hello to Dai Xiaoshan, if the Australians have any new and rare things in the future, please inform them as soon as possible, the two families want to walk in the mainland, including buying for Australia, and they need novelty goods from Australia to maintain this relationship......
