Chapter 61: Temptation

When doing these four things, Jian Chen's eyes kept staring at Mincheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is busy improving the workshop and bribing the relationship, and Mincheng is also trying to maintain Hulin as much as possible.

After Hu Lin sent the 1,000 silver coins and the trustee to the capital for Chen Jian, he came to Nan'an's workshop, and he really didn't worry about Chen Jian's side.

Although Jian Chen's words were light-hearted, he was still worried that he could easily see some kind of meaningful cause that he had hoped for be ruined.

When I came to the workshop in Nan'an, I saw vehicles transporting coal ore and lime in and out, and there seemed to be some people in it who were busy building, and there was no depression at all.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and went inside the workshop to find Chen Jian, who was there to reprimand the apprentice whose skin had been burned by ammonia.

Jian Chen hurriedly greeted him and took him to his residence.

As soon as he entered the door, Hu Lin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, how is the glass production on your side?" ”

"It's all right, didn't I tell you? When I built a glass workshop, I built a chemical workshop by the way, and that was for a purpose. ”

"Chemical?"

"Hey...... It is to turn salt into alkali, interlaced like a mountain, and it will not be explained clearly for a while and a half. Don't worry, three or four hundred catties a day is enough for us. ”

Hu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I'm really worried that we're not going to make it. ”

"Of course we can get through it, and there will be light soon, not even the darkness before dawn now, at most a palm-sized cloud obscuring the sun. You wait, I have to make Mincheng the place where the guild will most completely disintegrate. ”

Hu Lin sighed and said with a smile: "Your heart is really big, this is what kind of productivity crushing you are talking about?" ”

"It's not like that, it's not the same. It's a bit far away, and it's okay to be cheeky and say so. How about Mincheng? ”

"It's still like that, Tian Wenliang's people are very strict, and no one in those glass workshops comes to me at all."

"Normal, now they feel like they have the chance to win, and of course they won't come to you. I asked you to pretend to buy alkali for twice the price, how did it go? ”

"It's pretty much the same as we guessed, no one sells it. After all, how long have you been in the workshop? How long have they been working together? Where can you offend those big buyers so easily? When the news reaches the capital, it will take two months to buy another batch of North Alkali and transport it, but those merchants know what is going on, who will be stupid to resell North Alkali here? ”

"Where's the commercial officer?"

The process is also gone, Shi Ming said that he is trying to find a way, but in fact, he is shirking. I am a small council member in Min County, and if thirty or fifty council members oppose this, he will definitely have to do it in a hurry, but it is useless for me alone. We're all waiting to see our jokes. ”

"How?"

"Our charity trading company jumped too high, and the middle and low levels like it, but the really rich don't like it, but they don't oppose it, but they still hope that we will fall on our heels."

"There's no need to be afraid, as long as you survive this time, even if the large glass industry in Mincheng is ruined by me, no one will fight with me. Now that both sides have put their strength together, it is up to them to see who falls first. They can't compare to me when they reduce the price, so they have to use these crooked ways. ”

"Yes, this time Tian Wenliang has used all the relationships, connections and money that he can use. I'm still a little famous, you have a father who is a school officer, and some facts are too bad to do, otherwise we would have been finished by now. ”

"He bought alkali and stopped production, and it is estimated that it will not last long. He can hold it up on his own, but the people in the guild can't hold it anymore, as long as something happens, you just wait for them to mess up first. ”

Hu Lin smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you tell me the truth, when those people really look for you, will you still agree to cooperate?" ”

Chen Jian spread his hands and smiled, shook his head and said, "When they looked for me, it proved that they couldn't hold on, I had crossed the river, what was the use of the bridge?" I want a craftsman, as for the workshop owner, it is possible to participate in the production of shares and dividends, and if I want to be the same as the conditions I mentioned before, it is a dream. ”

"And what if they said yes that night?"

"Then I'll say yes too. I don't have time to waste it with this group. That's right, let's get down to business. Brother Zhu, I'm looking for you this time, two things. ”

"Say it."

"When you go back, bring a few jars of concentrated sulfuric acid back, and when you have no choice but to do so, ask someone to pour it directly on the other party. I was thinking about getting some nitroglycerin and putting it in a small jar to hide the coal used in Wenliang's workshop, but then who knew that his glass workshop had shut down......

Speaking of this, Jian Chen was a little distracted, and Hu Lin didn't understand what those weird things were, but he still nodded, and it was estimated that it was not a good thing, guessing that it might be similar to throwing lime in a war.

"Brother Chen, if we really want to fight, we really don't have to be afraid. They didn't dare to smash the charity trading house, so I just took our men to the workhouse and delivered a lot of food, and some of the hired hands were very grateful to us, and bought some liquor and put it in front of the door for people to quote as you said. Among our acquaintances, there are also doctors, and I have also been diagnosed for free several times in front of the trading company...... If they dare to smash it, the chaos will not be small. ”

"Hmm. It's just that the time is too short, if there is another year, in fact, I don't worry about those people making trouble at all. I tell you, if the hired craftsmen of the workshops opposite come to make trouble, tell them that if they are fired, my glass workshop will take as much as they want. ”

Hu Lin agreed, he still cares about this matter very much, although Chen Jian told him about the unemployment problem that the new process may bring, but he also feels that Chen Jian said that those who are unemployed can find other things to do in the long run, which is fashionable and contradictory, so he is a little concerned.

"Brother Zhu, there is one more thing I want to ask you. Not only can I not use up the alkali in the glass workshop now, but I have also accumulated some, not much, more than 5,000 catties. Aren't they busy collecting alkali now? Just right. I discussed it with my father, and he would help me find someone I could trust, pretending that it was a merchant from the north who happened to bring some alkali over. He'll go to you, and you, at a high price, seem to be impatient and can't hold on. Aren't they rich? Then spend money and buy it. ”

Hu Lin calculated it and said with a smile: "Five thousand catties, I'm afraid it's nothing, they can eat it easily." ”

"It's okay, just let them eat these two thousand catties first. Then I sent them 200 catties every day, every day, and then ** flaws, if they are not stupid, it is estimated that they will understand. In fact, I only produce three or four hundred catties a day, but it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that I don't produce glass first, and they will collapse in three or five days at most three or five catties a day. ”

"Well, it's real."

"I'm going to keep an eye on the workshop these days, and I'll leave all the things in Mincheng up to you. Brother Zhuqian, once they don't continue to buy ash, immediately go and talk to those mill owners who produce ash, we won't rob them of the ash-soda business. At that time, Tian Wenliang had so much alkali in his hands, and the glass workshop couldn't go on, so I wanted to see what he could do with those alkalis. After all, it wasn't his own money, and there would definitely be dissatisfaction internally, so it depended on how he dealt with it. ”

"I understand this, don't make too many enemies."

…………

Mincheng.

Tian Wenliang was half-lying on his chair, discussing with a few people how to seize the market in other counties in the future if he really got Chen Jian's glass technology.

Several account offices are holding paper and pens to calculate the freight and damage rate to other counties, and they are all smiling.

"The owner, as long as Jian Chen didn't deliberately lose money and fight with us to sell at such a price, then we would all have to make money. The guilds of other counties are similar to ours, and they can't control our Min County, so they will wait for the glass workshops to close down when the time comes. ”

Tian Wenliang smiled: "As long as you don't open a workshop in those places first." When they can't do it anymore, they will open the workshop there. Jian Chen's ambition and appetite are really good, if the glass in the whole country is controlled by us, how much income will it be in a year? Everyone, think about it, if you let him get half of it, will everyone be willing? ”

Everyone laughed and praised the decision for being wise and wise, and no one wanted to cut flesh from themselves.

"I don't think I can wait long, Jian Chen can't hold it anymore, now the charity trading company is only supported by inventory, I asked someone to go a few times and pretended to order a batch, but he excused himself and said that he was too busy to produce now, so I was waiting for a few months...... Hahaha, a few months, where will his Chen Jian's glass workshop be in a few months? ”

"Yes, now Hulin is looking for people to buy gray soda everywhere every day, and he buys it at a high price, and at the beginning he insisted on twice the price, but now it has risen to three or five times. Today's situation is that the merchants are uncertain, it takes time to transport back and forth, and we all know what the situation is on our side. ”

"I guess that Jian Chen must have deliberately lowered the price, and he wanted to force us to do it by relying on the price at a young age, and then he was raising the price. It's just that he doesn't want to think about how much money he can have in his hand? But even if the price is lowered, in fact, this large piece of glass still has to be earned. ”

Everyone thought that the business would be their own in the future, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed with such a big profit, but this dream was soon interrupted by a person who looked in a hurry.

"Brother Tian! Ladies and gentlemen! Something happened! An out-of-town businessman found Hu Lin, and he had 5,000 catties of alkali in his hand! ”

Tian Wenliang sat up straight suddenly and asked, "What's the matter?" What did you see with your own eyes? ”

"Yes, Hu Lin finished talking to him, and happily followed, and I asked someone to go over and stir it up first. That merchant also came to us by accident to sell soda. ”

Someone around took a breath and asked, "What do you say......?" Could it be that Jian Chen is playing tricks? He got all the accumulated alkali out so that we thought he still had it in his hands? ”

Tian Wenliang picked up the account book and looked at it, shook his head and said: "Impossible, I have asked how much alkali he bought before, and the accounts of the gray alkali workshop are also correct." Besides, these 5,000 catties of alkali are enough for Chen Jian's side to produce for a while, and there is no problem in counting the previous backlog of enough traps for us. This alkali didn't fall from the sky, if he went to the north to buy it, he would go back and forth for several months, and it would be impossible to buy two or three hundred catties at a time thousands of miles away, right? Buying tens of thousands of catties at a time is not something that can be easily made up by that county, and you must always take into account the industry of your county. So our time is half a year, and if we can't defeat him within half a year, we really can't cross him. Now that he is greedy and has fallen into a trap, it is not the time to smash it, everyone, you must not give up halfway. ”

"Brother Tian means ......"

"Buy it. This is by chance. So much has been invested anyway. If he doesn't fall into this trap, we may have to smash his trading company with something to do, but since he has fallen into this trap, he will be trapped to the end, and everything before giving up will be in vain. ”
