After a pause, Li Ke dropped a bombshell news, "Lone is going to open a chair shop specializing in selling this kind of furniture, what do you think, Lao Jin?" ”

Foreman Jin's eyes lit up, and the whole person who was "fried" was refreshed, touched his beard thoughtfully, and said: "It's not impossible for Your Highness to make money from this chair, but now we make this chair for sale, and the carpenters in other workshops can understand it at a glance, and it is inevitable that there will be followers behind us after we sell it, if we eat meat, it doesn't hurt for them to drink soup, but I'm afraid that we will make this to make a wedding dress for others."

The old foreman is the old foreman, who not only saw at a glance the trend that this chair will be popular in the future, but also saw that the reproducibility of the chair is too high and easy to be imitated, and there is no patent protection law in this era.

Li Ke is actually also very troubled in this lawless era, everything is easy to be manipulated by the two things of power and fist, although he is a prince, but he also has no authority to be precarious, naturally there is no way to escort this chair business, but in fact, it is not impossible to operate, Li Ke instantly thought of thousands of possibilities in his mind.

First of all, Li Ke is ready to pull a few more brothers to come in and huddle for warmth, I believe that there are many princes and princesses who have not opened the mansion are also short of money, because they are still valued by Lao Li, they have sealed a lot of land for the palace, although the income and expenditure are okay, but the other brothers also want to come to vote, and tie up as many people as possible in their chariots, so that it is not easy to disperse. As for Cheng Biting Jin, Li Jing and these generals don't think about it, as long as the front foot enters their mansion, Li Ke should enter the Zongren Mansion with the back foot. Lao Li's eyeliner is not blind. And the identity of his former spokesperson must have made them have some scruples, Li Ke shook his head, and his heart was not mixed with them.

The second is to control the source, the trees in the Guanzhong area in the Tang Dynasty already needed to be planted artificially to maintain the daily needs of buildings and cooking. And not the wood of any tree can be used to make chairs, such as elm, elm has poor dryness and is easy to crack and warp, so elm chairs tend to crack and collapse, Li Ke thinks about the person sitting on the elm chair suddenly elm cracks and inexplicably feels a sense of joy. There are only a limited number of trees that can be used as chairs in Guanzhong, so every time there is a huge construction project such as building a palace room, it is necessary to transport large wood, also known as southern wood, from the south, so what really needs to be controlled is foreign wood.

The third is to control quality and profits, which is to learn from the experience of some modern supermarkets, which is nothing more than large-scale procurement of wood to reduce costs, and then add costs and profits to obtain a selling price, which is not much higher than asking someone to make a chair yourself, but the quality can be guaranteed because of large-scale production. It's like going to a big supermarket to buy something and going to a small supermarket to buy something, the big supermarket purchases a lot of goods, and the shipment is more, so the shelf life of the purchased items is guaranteed, and the price may be slightly more expensive, but go to the small supermarket to buy less and ship less, although the price seems to be a little lower, but because there are fewer people to buy, an item may be bought before the expiration date.

Thinking of these three points, you can basically put an end to the chair being followed, because Li Ke did not earn excess profits, that is, similar to semi-monopoly profits. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, you may not make much money, so your eyes will naturally be less.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't speak, the craftsmen in the house thought that Li Ke was going to give up opening a chair shop, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Li Ke sorted out his thoughts and said, "If you have a familiar carpenter, or the head of the carpenter's workshop, please come and talk about it and then make plans." But let the events of today not be preached. ”

The craftsmen all nodded yes, this Dao knows the steward of Chang'an's largest carpentry workshop, and that Dao knows Chang'an's famous carpenter Guo Luluo.

Li Ke saw that everyone was speaking enthusiastically, so he set a time to invite each other tomorrow, and then turned to Yuan Kui and said: "In the afternoon, I will go to find the Liu family in Weinan, the Zhang family in Bashang, the Yuan family in Weibei and other principals to come over and talk." ”

These are all first-class wholesale merchants of wood in Chang'an, and there are intricate relationships in Guanzhong and the south, otherwise the timber business, which is close to the lifeblood of the country, will not be their turn to do it, but what most people don't know is that these families are more or less contaminated with the front door valve, and even the Weibei Yuan family is on Li Ke's second piece of silk!

In Li Ke's vision, the first small goal is to control the wood in Guanzhong, and then slowly develop into a behemoth, paving the way for Li Ke to do other big things.

Seeing that Li Ke had an idea, everyone was busy and continued to make chairs, because Li Ke still needed some chairs to send to the palace so that Lao Li's safety bolt could be lifted.

Foreman Jin saw that Li Ke still had no intention of leaving, so he invited Li Ke to sit next door for tea and a while, as a workshop owner, Foreman Jin knew that Li Ke must have something to reveal to him.

"What else does Your Highness have to order?"

"I'm here today for another thing, you see," Li Ke said and took out a few empty glass bottles.

Foreman Jin looked left and right, and said suspiciously: "This crystal bottle is pure and chic, but Your Highness wants to make this crystal bottle?" However, the crystal material for this is rare, and His Royal Highness can have raw materials for old polishing? Obviously, Foreman Jin had seen a crystal of similar purity, and he didn't make a fuss, but his eyes were extremely hot when he looked at the crystal bottle, and he was worthy of being a royal carpenter.

Well, Li Ke was completely defeated by Foreman Jin, why can't this Foreman Jin always find the focus of the problem? Well, glass also needs to be manufactured, and Li Ke also has a formula, but I believe that there will still be a lot of failures, but this is not what Li Ke wants to express.

Li Ke reluctantly demonstrated the closing and opening of the glass bottle, pointing to the spiral pattern on the glass bottle, which is similar to the part of the bottle mouth on a mineral water bottle, and the use of this threaded line structure from a natural conch was used to press grape juice and olive oil in 428 BC. More than 300 years B.C., the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes popularized the threaded structure for taking water, and transported water from low to high places through threaded equipment, known as Archimedes spiral water pump. Finally, it can be seen all over the mouths of beverage bottles, glass bottles, and on all utensils and screws with caps.

Although threads were used as early as 400 BC, Li Ke had never seen a similar structure in the Tang Dynasty, and this structure was of great significance to Li Ke's later manufacture of perfumes and other products, because the tightness of the container had always been a problem that the ancients could not solve.

Foreman Jin saw Li Ke demonstrate the opening and closing of the screw cap on one side, swallowed his saliva, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "Where did Your Highness find such a divine object, if this structure can be hung upside down without leakage, it will definitely be able to replace the wooden cork and have a far-reaching impact." ”
