Chapter 446: Scarcity is Precious
Looking at the novelty in his hand, his heart trembled, and he said secretly: "It would be nice if this was a pair of glasses that fit my father's wear!" He asked, "Are these glasses?" ”
Li Feibai said: "That's right, these are glasses!" ”
Yang Shen turned around, handed the pair of glasses to Yang Tinghe in his hand, and said, "Dad, why don't you try them on?" ”
Yang Tinghe has completely lost sight of myopia, and it is impossible to find a suitable pair of lenses in this life, so he gave up treatment!
He looked at Li Feibai with interest and said, "This pair of lenses is not cheap!" ”
Li Feibai said: "It's actually very cheap!" He pointed to the lens and continued, "You look like crystal, it's not crystal, it's glass." In the next in Jiyuan opened a glass-making factory, to make two pieces of such glass, plus labor costs, the cost does not cost two pennies. ”
He's not lying! In the past, it took a long time to polish a lens by hand, and the labor cost alone was a huge expense.
He invested a lot of money to make people constantly improve the polishing method, and even used the steam engine to replace manpower, and now the cost of polishing such a lens has been reduced to a very low level!
Li Feibai pointed to the frame and said: "The frame is made of wire hoops, and the temples are made of lighter paulownia wood, which is not worth a few dollars." The whole mirror is made at a cost of about ten cents. ”
Yang Tinghe said: "Although the cost is low, the price is not necessarily cheap. Don't you hear that scarcity is expensive! Nowadays, in the world of the Ming Dynasty, only your family can make such glasses, and it is not up to you to decide the unique business. Selling a hundred taels of silver is also selling, and selling five hundred taels of silver is also selling! Why don't you earn money, but give it to me? ”
Li Feibai grinned and said, "Elder Yang Ge has done his best for Daming, and he admires it very much. Today, Brother Yang said that you always want to see me, and I am excited and I don't know what to send to you. I heard that Yang Ge was suffering from eye disease, so I thought about taking a pair of glasses to honor your old man. ”
Yang Tinghe saw that Li Feibai meant to be attached to him in and out of his words, and also had the meaning of wooing Li Feibai for his use. Like Li Feibai, who can break through all kinds of obstacles set up by him in a short period of time and make Daming Daily prosperous, even without the help of Guo Xun, he is definitely a rare talent.
Like this kind of talent, he is not too much but too little around him, if there is such a person to help, it is like a tiger with wings. It's a pity that this person voted for Guo Xun's disciple first, and he said:
"You are doing things for Guo Xun, and now you are honoring me with such a good thing, aren't you afraid that Guo Xun will be dissatisfied if he knows?"
Li Feibai said: "I am a businessman, and I only have a cooperative relationship with Guo Taibao, that is, I run Daming Daily, and I also contribute half of the money from each other." I have only a business relationship with him, not a subordinate relationship. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, when I gave Yang Ge old glasses, it was not all filial piety, but a little selfishness!" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "Oh, tell me what your selfishness is? ”
Li Feibai said: "Actually, I gave Yang Ge old glasses to sell them." As Yang Ge Lao said, the business I do is a unique business, the cost is so low that people can't believe it, but the price can be opened at will, saying that five hundred taels is five hundred taels, and saying one hundred taels is one hundred taels!
"Profiteering is very profitable, but it's not easy to sell it! First of all, you have to ask who has myopia. Secondly, you have to go to the door, and you have to say whether you can sell it or not. can be given to Yang Ge Lao, and the passive situation can be reversed at once. Tomorrow will publish the news in Daming Daily, saying that Yang Ge Lao bought a pair of glasses in a small shop, and his eye disease has been cured for many years!
"The readers who saw this news were still eager to buy glasses in a small store when they heard that Yang Ge was always buying glasses. It won't be long before the threshold of the small shop will be broken by the myopic people! ”
After listening to this, Yang Tinghe remembered the sentence in the second issue of Daming Daily, "even Yang Ge likes the newspaper", and couldn't help but wonder, "Are you planning to use me as your signboard to solicit business for you?" ”
Li Feibai smiled and said, "It means so, but it's not as ugly as what Elder Ge said." I just want to borrow the name of Yang Ge Lao to advertise the glasses. ”
Yang Tinghe hesitated for a moment, and said in his heart: "This person Guo Xun can use it, why can't I use it." With this person's intelligence, if he joins forces with Guo Xun and works against me, it will be really difficult to deal with. It's better to be a favor, and instead of pulling the relationship, you will also compete with Guo Xun to see who this person can be used for. ”
He smiled and said, "Okay, I have received your heart!" Shen'er, take the things! ”
Yang Shen took the glasses and wanted to put them in the box, Li Feibai said: "Don't you try it on, see if it's suitable?" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "I have also polished a lot of glasses, and none of them are suitable, and it is not suitable to think about this." I don't think I need to try, it's too much to try! ”
Li Feibai said: "Ge Lao, my glasses are different from the ones you found someone to polish!" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "What's the difference? ”
Li Feibai said: "When I was making glasses, I found that the degree of myopia in people's eyes was deep and shallow, so I used a means to standardize these shades, which were divided into 20 levels. And if you beat people to polish crystals, they don't know the depth of your myopia, and they polish them indiscriminately, how can they agree. ”
After that, he took out all the nineteen small boxes in the box, put them on the table together with the small box in Yang Shen's hand, and said, "Two of you have eyes, there are numbers on each box!" ”
The two of them went to look at the box, and saw that there was a number on the box, the smallest being fifty and the largest being one thousand.
Yang Tinghe said: "What do these numbers mean? ”
Li Feibai said: "These numbers represent the degree of myopia in the eyes. Fifty is the shallower, one thousand is the largest! It's better to try it from low to high to see which degree is right! ”
Yang Tinghe said: "It sounds very reasonable, then give it a try, so as not to let you waste your tongue in vain!" ”
Yang Shen opened the small box in turn, and handed a pair of glasses and a pair of glasses to Yang Tinghe to try. Yang Tinghe tried it in turn, until he reached the number eight hundred and fifty on the top, and then he didn't try again.
He wore glasses, looked left and right, couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and said: "The old man thinks that the old man is like this in his life, and everything he sees is vague. Many people talk about the old man behind their backs, saying that the old man is arrogant, and they turn a blind eye to the greetings they face.
"Actually, the old man is arrogant, I really don't know who is talking to the old man! I don't even know who the person is, so how can I return the gift! Today, you can be regarded as saving the old man, which is simply letting the old man see the light of day again! Say, you have something to ask the old man to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as the old man can do it, he will definitely do it for you! ”
Li Feibai said: "I really can't think of anything that can be done by the elder pavilion!" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "In this way, you are making the old man owe you a big favor!" Anyway, the old man owes you a favor, and when you think of something to do in the future, it's not too late. ”
He pointed to the boxes behind him and said, "What's in the other boxes?" ”
Li Feibai ran over and opened the boxes one by one, revealing the contents of them. It's just a case of mirrors, a case of royal wine, a case of royal cigars, and other things that are not easy to buy on the market!
Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "I said that Guo Xun's business has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which master has helped him, it turns out that he has the help of you!" ”
Li Feibai said: "If Elder Yang Ge is interested in these businesses, we can also cooperate." ”
Yang Tinghe's eyes lit up, and soon returned to normal, and said: "Money can't be earned, what's the use of making so much money?" I'm old, I don't have a few years to live, I don't bring money when I am born, I don't bring it when I die, I have already seen it lightly! If Shen'er is interested in these businesses, let him contact you! ”
