Chapter 548: Crystal Tablets (1)

If it was in Datang, Zhen Qian would never dare to take out the crystal glass, what is this not looking for death?

Later generations often said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, this sentence depends on where to say it, if you think that it is universal, it is really stupid.

Maybe these businessmen haven't realized the huge profits in crystal glass, but they can't stop countless people from being greedy, they don't have enough ability to protect their property, the more prominent they are, the faster they die, no one will pity a child who walks at night with gold bricks, they will only say that they can't do anything.

As soon as the news of Zhen Qian's shipwreck at sea reached Datang, countless people immediately targeted his own industry. This is the society above the imperial power, one person has ascended to heaven, one person has suffered a disaster, and the whole family has suffered, Zhen Qian has never given his life to others, because he is selfish, and he is an ordinary person.

The protagonist's aura is only available in it, but it doesn't exist in reality, Zhen Qian is naturally cautious and unwilling to take risks.

Zhen Qian beckoned his hand, and immediately someone brought over a wooden board, on which there were several blue-white crystal pieces, in fact, this crystal piece was not as pure white as the later generations, but with a hint of cyan in it, which was caused by the presence of associated ores in the raw materials, and did not neutralize the impurities inside.

However, this kind of crystal piece with some cyan color seemed very normal in Shang Jia's eyes, and he looked at the crystal piece one by one, waiting for Zhen Qian to open his mouth.

"The difficulty of crystal chip manufacturing Zhen doesn't want to say more, Zhen can only tell you here, this is the ...... I saved a strange person in the Wa Kingdom", Zhen Qian pretended to be mysterious, found that he was speechless, and hurriedly stopped the topic, Gu left and right He said: "How can I say yes, Zhen will never hide his secrets, I know that you are interested in crystal chips, this kind of crystal pieces can only be produced in the Wa Kingdom, and it can never be found in other places, haha!" ”

The businessmen stretched their necks one by one and waited for Zhen Qian to finish speaking, but when they saw that Zhen Qian only said half of what he said, he almost scolded his mother angrily.

"Zhen will say it clearly! You have also seen this crystal room, and you also know the use of this kind of crystal piece, this crystal piece in front of you is a sample of one foot long and six inches wide, each piece is worth one or two pieces of silver, you can order as much as you need, but the first batch is only 200,000 pieces ....... ”

"I want 20,000 pieces!"

"I want 20,000 tablets too!"

"Nope! I want 50,000 tablets! ”

"I've got 200,000 pieces!"

“……”

One or two pieces of silver to buy a crystal piece, whether it is in the Wa Kingdom or the Tang Dynasty, it is not expensive, and the profits in it are amazing.

One tael of silver can only be exchanged for 800 wen in the Wa Kingdom, and it can be exchanged for 1,200 to 1,300 wen immediately in the Tang Dynasty. During this period, the amount of silver mining in the Wa Kingdom was not large, after the Song and Ming dynasties, a large number of silver mines in the Wa State were discovered, and the exchange rate of silver and copper coins in the Wa Kingdom fell to one or two silver for five hundred Wen, and at this time in the Central Plains, because of the increase in the total economic volume, the demand for silver was strong, and the exchange rate rose to one or two silver for 1,500 Wen, resulting in a large amount of silver in the Wa State entering the Central Plains. The phenomenon of silver shortage was not alleviated until the discovery of silver mines in the Americas.

A piece of crystal is transported back to Datang from the Wa Kingdom, and the profit in the middle is at least three times or more, even if it is five or ten times, someone will buy it.

More than 20 businessmen immediately quarreled like chicken blood, and some people raised the price to two taels of silver a piece, which was a bit shameful, but no one said it was wrong.

The cost of the crystal piece is only 30 Wen, which is still the reason why the defective rate remains high because of the unskilled process, and the price of the crystal can be lower than 10 Wen in the future. This is a hundredfold profit, of course, Zhen Qian can also continue to increase the price, but in Zhen Qian's opinion, this is completely unnecessary, he likes the huge demand for crystal chips, and he doesn't want to stifle the strong desire to buy at the beginning.

It's like if Ford makes a car and others sell it for tens of thousands of dollars, Ford lowers the price of the car to $5,000 or even lower, and its interest is nothing more than the huge demand for cars.

The truth that later generations understand, how can Zhen Qian not understand it?

But the businessmen in this room have already quarreled, 200,000 crystal pieces, is it much? It's not much, it's only one tael of silver, don't these people have hundreds of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels in their hands, do they care about this little money?

At first, some people were cautious and ready to see how others reacted, but they found that if they didn't do it, they would be swallowed by others.

Counting up, each of these businessmen has at least tens of thousands of yuan to eat, and the demand has exceeded 600,000 yuan at once, but Zhen Qian is only taking out 200,000 yuan now, which is destined to be unavailable to many people.

"Zhen Lang, I came to the country by boat with you, everyone has suffered together, and I also know that this matter today will make it difficult for Zhen Lang, 50,000 yuan! Not all ....... ”

"What? You want 50,000 yuan, swallow a quarter in one go, and I want all the remaining crystal pieces, and the price will rise by 50%! ”

“……”

Zhen Qian was frightened by the enthusiasm of these businessmen, and thought that the number of crystal tablets should not be too much for the first time they bought, after all, crystal tablets had not appeared in Datang before, and there was a gradual process of accepting new things, where I could think that these merchants were all like sharks, and their appetite was really big!

Zhen Qian just wanted to say something, but was pulled by the person on the side, and said with a greasy fat face with a cry: "Brother Zhen, pity the poor old brother!" This time, my brother came to the country to compensate for not even underwear, brother, I have long wanted to find a place to break this life, but when I think of the eighty-year-old mother and the toddler who is waiting to be fed, this heart can't be ruthless! If Brother Zhen didn't agree to sell his brother 100,000 crystal pieces this time, his brother would die here today, and he would never have the face to return to Datang again....... ”

Damn, this line is so familiar, could it be that I also crossed over, and finally found my relatives.

Zhen Qian couldn't wait to slap this person in the face, so he was so shameless that he used Lao Tzu's sleeve as a rag. Looking at this person again, he is still an old acquaintance, isn't it Gao Hai, who is in the silk business? Think about what happened to this guy, it's really a bit miserable, it doesn't matter if someone else's goods are drenched in a little seawater, but the silk gives the sea water a soak, and the price is "booming" down, and I thought this guy would have jumped into the sea a long time ago?

"This ......", Zhen Qian was a little embarrassed, as if he couldn't sell it to anyone, he was about to kill people with red eyes, and now he regretted setting the price of the crystal piece too low.
