Marin suddenly had 10,000 alpacas roaring past in his heart - Nima, I was thinking of using this technology to make an exclusive profit, and you made it all?

Marin really doesn't know much about the history of the mirror, only that it was in the middle and early 16th century, and he didn't know what year it was. How did he know that Venice had come up very early. Otherwise, how could Venice still have so much money later, and still be able to compete with Turkey for hegemony in the Mediterranean?

You know, since Turkey annexed Egypt, it began to occupy a geographical advantage in the eastern Mediterranean region and began to attack Venice. Venice, on the other hand, has also fought a war for hegemony with Turkey for nearly two hundred years. And these wars are fought with money.

According to the current situation in which Venice has lost its core spice trade, there is no money to fight with the Turks. Because of the timely appearance of glass mirrors, Venice's military strength declined, and even improved. This, of course, refers to before the French stole glass mirror technology.

After all, the annual revenue of the Republic of Venice has skyrocketed from 1,650,000 ducats to 18,000,000 ducats in 1580. Leaving aside the depreciation of gold and silver, Venice's income increased considerably.

After all, even if it is a "price revolution", overall prices have risen by five or six times. But Venice's fiscal revenue has risen 11 times from 1,650,000 ducats a year to 18,000,000 in 1580. Obviously, this is almost double the price increase. That is, the economic history of Venice has grown considerably. And the opportunity for this is the emergence of glass mirrors.

It is foreseeable that with the help of the glass mirror, the Venetian will be able to fight a beautiful turnaround this time. Marin already had a premonition of hot sales of glass mirrors. At first, Marin could have imagined with his feet that the Venetians would surely open their mouths and raise the price of the first glass mirrors......

Thinking of the toothache-inducing price of 150,000 francs (livre) for a mirror in history, Marin had a very complicated heart. Predictably, with the glass mirror, the resurgence of Venice has become unstoppable.

Moreover, what made Marin extremely envious was that Venice was not afraid of the covetousness of other countries......

If he, Marin, dared to take out the glass mirror, the French and German princes might unite and force him to hand over the secret recipe. After all, the situation in Germany is complicated. If you are not careful, you will be easily beaten by a group.

The days in Venice are much better than those in Marin. Because the Italian region where Venice is located, except for Venice, there is no one that can fight, including the Papal States. Therefore, Venice, even if it has an extremely lucrative mirror project, is not worried about being beaten by the United Nations. Because, no other state in Italy can fight......

In fact, the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Naples in Italy were quite capable of fighting, and their strength was not weak. However, these two great powers, both of which were destroyed by the French, removed the stumbling block of Venice.

In addition, the "League of Cambrai", which was supposed to be formed in 1508 to fight Venice, was dissuaded by Marin in this time and space, resulting in the fact that Venice's strength has not declined much now. Of course, Marin dug a pit and asked Venice to repair the Suez Canal in advance, which also dragged down a lot of Venice's strength.

But even so, because it was not beaten by the "Cambrai League" for seven years, Venice did not suffer a major injury, and the foundation was still very thick.

Originally, Marin still had doubts about La Venice guarding the port of Haifa together. But when he learned of the birth of the glass mirror, Marin immediately understood that the Venetians had the financial resources to take care of it......

If a mirror is really sold at a sky-high price of 150,000 francs (equivalent to 25,000 ducats), only 100 glass mirrors need to be sold, and it can be sold for 15 million francs, which is equivalent to 2.5 million gold coins, which is a super profiteering......

Of course, 150,000 francs a mirror is impossible. It should be a special case, and it is a glass mirror that belongs to the Queen's "Deluxe Edition" configuration. For example, the wooden frame is changed to a gold frame or something, and then a master will make it by hand or something. As for the regular version, it should be in ...... How do you look from a few thousand gold coins to ten thousand gold coins......

Because the surrounding Italian states could not fight, Austria in the north was separated by the Alps, and France in the west was separated by several Italian states, so there was no threat. Therefore, the Venetians can rest assured that they have mastered the secret technology of mirror making......

Besides, the craftsmen and equipment used to make glass mirrors are all on the island of Murano, and even if an army breaks through the land fortresses of Venice, it will not be able to seize the technology of glass mirrors.

……

Beihai country, because of its geographical location, cannot be as free and easy as Venice. Because, if you are not careful, you can attract a joint attack from the French and German princes......

If it were other money-making projects, the other German states might not have united against him. But if it is like a glass mirror that shows that it can make a thousand times the profit, it is strange that the German princes, who are generally poorer, are not mad with jealousy......

Just like Marin's main food interest now, it is only a few times more production, that is, several times more profit. Although it makes people jealous, it is not so bad that people lose their minds.

However, like the Venetian glass mirror, a mirror can earn 1,000 or hundreds of gold coins, and the profit is 1,000 times greater...... It is more profitable than selling du products in later generations, and it is more terrifying than selling arms...... This kind of profit margin makes it clear that it will make people crazy......

Therefore, the Venetian people are interested in the glass mirror, and he Marin does not dare to do it......

……

Now, though, the Venetians have taken the lead and made the glass mirror. While Marin was annoyed, he also saw an opportunity......

What opportunity did Marin spot? A chance to fish in troubled waters!

Yes, Marin's exclusive glass mirror is dangerous in Germany, which is full of poverty, but what if Venice stands in front to help attract firepower?

Thinking of this, Marin's eyes lit up!

The Venetian has just made a glass mirror, so the price is bound to be very high. At the same time, the eyes of all Europe will be drawn to the Venetians......

Then, Marin had a chance to get his hands dirty......

When the time came, Marin quietly asked people to produce a batch of mirrors and secretly sell them at a high price. In this way, no one knew that Marin had mastered the technology of glass mirrors, but Marin quietly made a fortune......

Of course, in order to have enough cover, Marin decided to take the right to sell Venetian glass mirrors in Germany. Then, when he quietly shot the glass mirror, no one doubted it......

At that time, Marin, who was already an agent of Venetian glass mirrors, quietly took out an extra batch of glass mirrors and mixed them into the agent's goods for sale, who knows?

You know, in this era, the exchange of information is not smooth. Whether Marin sold 100 mirrors or 200 mirrors is difficult for the Venetians to know. They will only know how much they have shipped to Marin, and will not know the actual sales of Marin at the beginning. At that time, under the cover of Venetian glass mirrors, Marin will be able to produce and sell glass mirrors on his own and make huge profits......

Therefore, in order to win the right to sell glass mirrors, Malint brought a huge team, under the protection of several hundred cavalry, to Venice in the south, in order to win the right to sell Venetian glass mirrors in Germany, and to cover for his own production and sales of glass mirrors......

When the time comes, the Venetians will not know that at a time when they are making huge profits and attracting the attention of all Europe, there is a lewd Marin, hiding behind them, muffling to make a fortune......
