How high is it? Luo Youde said that a few years ago, there was a governor named Li Guang in the imperial court, who was also a famous poet, and he received a gift, that is, a glass bowl, which was very good and transparent. What kind of official position is the governor's office? It's almost the vice premier, a big official. As a result, after Premier Li got the glass bowl, he hugged it when he slept, I like it! But after holding it for three days, I returned this bowl to others, because it was too expensive and I couldn't stand it! See, the vice prime minister of the richest country in the world like the Great Song Dynasty felt that a colorless and transparent glass bowl was too valuable, and the value of this glassware in the Song Dynasty can be imagined.

"If I have the kung fu, I will help Brother Luo ponder, I will also burn this thing, I only need to test it a few more times, and it can be burned better than this thing, this kind of thing in our hometown is as worthless as the porcelain of the Great Song Dynasty." Hong Tao was happy, and his mouth didn't close the door again.

"I wonder when Brother Hong has kung fu? Everything that...... The cost of the test is all covered by the brother, you just have to ...... Trial! Luo Youde almost didn't jump out of his chair this time, and he didn't know how to describe his mood.

The sea was idle, and when he saw someone fighting and killing sharks, he asked the housekeeper to go down and ask with curiosity, and the housekeeper reported that the fish-killing warrior was a very unheard of Tan family, with a strange accent that was unheard of, and the dress was by no means the style of the Central Plains and Nanfan, and there was a huge colored mouse head tattooed on the back, and the delicate strokes had never been seen, this person was extraordinary, and his words were sharp, and he was by no means a fisherman. In this way, Luo Youde was aroused by his curiosity and decided to go to see it in person, and the result was the same as what the housekeeper said. At this time, Luo Youde was just curious, anyway, the sea voyage was extremely boring, so he pulled Hong Tao up to chat, who would have thought that he had picked up a treasure! This weird guy is not only from the Far South Australia, which he has never heard of, through the Central Plains culture, can cook first-hand food, but also knows how to read charts, cut clothes, and now he actually says that he can fire glassware, this Nima can't believe it, it's very likely!

What is Luo Youde? It's a merchant! No matter how much he loved to make strange people and have fun, he was first and foremost a businessman. Businessmen can have a variety of styles, but one thing they all have in common is the desire to make money. No matter how wealthy a businessman is, his desire to make money will never be low, it can only get higher and higher, otherwise he will not be a qualified businessman. For example, Hong Tao, he is not a businessman, at most he can do business.

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, don't hide from Brother Luo, I have my own plan, even if I want to burn glass, I will use my own money, and then pull Brother Luo into the shares, so that we are a cooperative relationship, you are not my employer, and I am not your employee. There must be only one identity between the two parties to do business, that is, businessmen, so that they can do it in the long run, isn't this the truth? Now I don't have the foundation to be a businessman, take your time! Hong Tao feels that in the society of the Great Song Dynasty, he can be a little presumptuous, if what Luo Youde said is true, then the Great Song Dynasty of this era is very beautiful, very free, and has its own stage for showing. So he is not in a hurry to do things, before doing things, he must first set the rules, without a consensus that everyone agrees, this deal cannot be done, let alone cooperate, he can only lie to them by himself, and they will lie to themselves and each other.

Hong Tao didn't want to bring the vicious business models of later generations to the Great Song Dynasty to develop, and those things would fundamentally subvert the thinking of the Song people. In the short term, it seems that he can obtain great benefits for himself, but it is inconsistent with his long-term goals, he is here to save the Great Song Dynasty, not to harm the Great Song Dynasty. Those rotten methods can be taught to the Song people, but we must make sure that they use this method to deal with foreign races, before they can't get this guarantee, Hong Tao will definitely not use this crooked brain, unless he can't survive.

“…… Brother Hong is righteous! It's such a reason, even the official family has to buy our goods, so I will wait for Brother Hong to come and pull in for my brother as soon as possible...... shares, shares but shares? Employees are buddies? Luo Youde made Hong Tao's words dizzy in the modern vernacular, and seemed to feel that there was some truth, but he couldn't understand it for a while, mainly because the amount of information was a bit large.

While waiting for the food to be served, Hong Tao and Luo Youde studied business issues again. One side is very interested in new terms such as joint-stock system, board of directors, and professional managers, and the other side is also very careful about how the Song Dynasty City Shipping Department collected taxes for merchant ships. That Ah Cai sat with his back to the door, listening to Luo Youde and Hong Tao going back and forth to solve each other's doubts, and basically didn't interject.

Finally, a maid brought the meal, but Hong Tao scratched his head a little again, and he was a little puzzled about the meal that came up with the two dishes. Of course he knows how to use a pair of chopsticks, but what is that thing with a spoon at one end and a knife at the other? Before he could figure out what this thing was, he found a very interesting thing, the people of the Song Dynasty actually ate a separate meal system! The dishes in the two silver plates on the table are exactly the same, and the portions are not very large, looking at the position of the plate, it should be one plate per person. You want to say it's Western food...... Unlikely, Europeans are currently in deep trouble in the dark Middle Ages, where is there such a thing as Western food!

"Brother Luo, there is no such tableware in my hometown, can you explain a thing or two?" Or stick to your own principles, ask if you don't understand, and never pretend to be forced!

"Dagger! The spoon is used for eating, the knife is used for cutting, and the tip of the knife is used to insert food. I don't know what kind of tableware is used in Brother Hong's hometown? "Luo Youde likes to introduce the various habits, culture, and rules of the Great Song Dynasty to Hong Tao very much, and he simply knows and must answer, and he never gets tired of answering. He prefers to inquire about the affairs of Australia, but he has better quality than Hong Tao, Hong Tao does not mention this stubble, generally he will not take the initiative to ask, and he is somewhat proud of the people of the Central Plains.

"It's scientific! In my hometown, chopsticks are generally used, and if you eat meat, there are knives and forks, but there is no dagger ingenuity, admiration! Hong Tao picked up the small spoon and looked at it carefully, sure enough! This Nima is a spoon, knife, fork three-in-one tableware, I don't know why it is not popular in later generations, it should be very convenient to eat with this thing!

"Full drink, please!" At this time, Luo Youde raised the black pottery wine glass, or wine bowl, with both hands.
