Chapter Eighty-Six: The Profit of Glass

Qian Qianyi said: "The opportunity is rare, even if you can't let a few people go, find someone to attack it!" ”

Qian Shisheng thought for a while, and said word by word: "What I said is reasonable, and I will let He Kai, Xu Yuqing, and Fan Shutai attack it together, how about it?" ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Not only let him do things in the matter, but also let the imperial history Zhang Zhangzeng, Wu Luzhong, and Zhang Kentang attack it, so powerful, I think how the Son of Heaven can protect him?" ”

Qian Shisheng thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine!" Let's have a big one! ”

The two of them quickly finished talking and finished business, and then stopped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Qian Shisheng and Qian Qianyi finished discussing the important matter, breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup on the tea table and took a sip of tea.

But when Qian Shisheng lifted the teacup, he realized that the teacup was actually a transparent glass with a handle. The yellow tea leaves are placed in a transparent teacup with a round bottom, which is crystal clear and very beautiful.

When did the Ming Dynasty have such a teacup? Drinking tea with this teacup feels like people are a little more upscale.

Qian Shisheng said with a smile: "I am so elegant to drink tea in a glass worth 100 gold." After a pause, Qian Shisheng said again: "But this transparent teacup is really beautiful, so that this tea has a sense of culture!" I bought this teacup at a great price! ”

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "This was given by someone else." Today, a military attache came to Datian 0jin, and insisted on giving me two sets of glassware, a set of wine utensils, and a set of tea utensils, saying that they were produced by himself, and each set was only priced at thirty taels of silver. ”

Qian Shisheng said: "Oh? So cheap! And barware? I don't know what it's like to hold shochu in a glass, so I'll show it to me with a glass! ”

Qian Qianyi waved his hand to his family, and the family walked to the backyard and came out with a glass wine set and a bottle of soju given by Li Zhi. The servant poured the shochu into the glass in front of the two coins and handed the glass to the two of them.

Qian Shisheng took the glass wine cup and praised: "This soju in a glass is a perfect match, crystal clear and crystal-like, and the artistic conception immediately goes up!" It's more interesting than a glass teacup! This military attache has a good ability to produce such a wine glass, and I will also buy him a set to entertain guests at home! ”

Qian Qianyi smiled when he heard this, remembered the purpose of Li Zhi's gift of glassware, and secretly said that he had promoted the product to Li Zhi so quickly.

"This military attache said that he is from the Li family in Tian0jin, or if you want to buy a wine glass, you can send someone to Tian0jin to find the Li family's store and buy it!"

Qian Shisheng nodded and said, "I'll send a servant to buy it tomorrow." I'm going back today, and I'm going to talk to the officials and get them to do it. ”

Qian Qianyi nodded, stood up and sent Qian Shisheng to the door.

After staying in the capital for a few days, Li Zhi visited the big officials one by one. Although the officials were very busy and did not meet Li Zhi, Li Zhi still sent the glassware out. Li Zhi also bribed the door to send in the information that these glasses were produced by the Li family in Tian0jin. Coupled with a few big characters written on the back of the lid of the brocade box, presumably when these officials open the brocade box and see the exquisite glassware, they will remember that this is the product of the Li family of Tian0jin.

These officials have obtained such treasures, and they must show off and use them in front of others, and then Li Zhi's business will come.

After doing a good job in product promotion, Li Zhi returned to Tian0jin. Of course, TJ Governor He Shishou did not slack off there, and also gave a set of glass tea sets and a set of glass wine sets.

Within a few days, some people came from the capital to buy Li Zhi's glassware, and most of them came to buy wine utensils. First one or two people came to buy it every day, then three or four people came every day, and finally the shop could sell more than a dozen sets of glass glasses a day. Later, TJ's wealthy businessmen also began to buy Li Zhi's glass wine glasses.

Throughout May, Li Zhi's shop sold 153 sets of glass wine sets and 21 sets of glass tea sets. By June, 216 sets of glass wine sets and 27 sets of glass tea sets were sold in the Li family shop in Tian0 Jinwei. After calculating such sales, after removing the cost of burning glass, the glass workshop can earn Li Zhi five or six thousand taels of silver a month.

Li Zhi, who has been building a large number of projects, has been spending money on foreign countries for half a year, and the silver he has saved has almost been exhausted, but the income from the glass workshop has made Li Zhi's hands rich again.

Li Zhi earned silver in the glass industry, and in June he went to send 2,000 taels of silver to He Shishou. In a year, He Shishou had already received 11,000 taels of silver from Li Zhi. Li Zhi's filial piety can also be regarded as a major income item for He Shishou. He Shishou made money very easily, and it became more and more pleasing to the eye to see Li Zhi.

He Shishou looked at Li Zhi with a pleasing eye, and Li Zhi's various interests in Tian0jin could be protected.

However, Li Zhi is not worried about the leakage of glass formulas, in order to prevent the leakage of glass industry formulas, Li Zhi has long been designing layer by layer in the production process: he subdivided the kiln and feeding process of glass-burning into six steps at the beginning, and each step was handed over to different people to operate. Moreover, Li Zhi did not tell the workers who operated the feeding what materials he was operating, only let him know that the materials would be put into the crucible according to their weight when they arrived. And the raw material purchaser only knows what materials he buys, and he doesn't know how to use these raw materials.

Even Cai Huaishui, who helped Li Zhi build a glass cellar, only knew the structure of the glass cellar, and did not know Li Zhi's various material formulas and proportions.

If you want to get Li Zhi's glass formula, you have to buy off all the glass workshop workers and all the raw material procurement personnel, which is extremely difficult. If the trend of technology from secrecy to diffusion is irreversible, Li Zhi hopes that this day of diffusion will come as late as possible.

By June, Li Zhi's 2,000 villas had been built.

1,000 of these villas were rented by Li Zhi to the families of employees of various industries, 70 yuan per room, and the rent level guaranteed that Li Zhi could recover the price of the villa in 15 years.

There are also 1,000 villas, which were rented by Li Zhi to various foreign commercial service personnel in Fanjiazhuang. There are 2,000 high-consumption employee families in Fanjiazhuang, and there is demand from all walks of life, so within a few months, Fanjiazhuang has poured into 2 to 3,000 commercial and service workers. These people also want a house, and they also rent in Li Zhi's villa. The rent that Li Zhi rents to these outsiders is more expensive, renting a room for 105 yuan a month, which allows Li Zhi to recover the price of a villa in ten years.

After the house price is recovered, the rent is net profit.

The rent of 2,000 villas can now make Li Zhi earn more than 600 taels of silver per month.

Of course, a small number of these villas are sold to employees and outsiders. The small villa was sold to a working family for fifty taels and one house, and each family was limited to one set at this price. Sold to outsiders, it is sixty taels - in fact, even if it is a sixty-two house, it is lower than the price of the Tianjin Acropolis. Fanjiazhuang is in hot demand from all walks of life, and it is easy to make money by buying and selling here, and this housing price level is not high.

After the construction of the villa stopped, Fanjiazhuang got rid of the state of a large construction site, there were no more piles of building materials, the construction waste was reduced, and the whole city looked much cleaner. The 2,000 villas also made Fanjiazhuang begin to take shape, standing on the city wall and looking at the past, those white walls and black tiles in the north of the city are very neat and beautiful.

In terms of sanitation and prosperity, Fanjiazhuang is one of the best cities in this era.
