Before the glass of the charity trading company appeared in Mincheng, the glass workshop in Mincheng was ushering in a situation where the development of the industry was happy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The false prosperity created by the orchid incident allowed some middle-level people to get a sum of money, and as long as there were people to take over, there was always someone to make it.

When money is earned, it will naturally promote the purchase of some goods. Renovating the house, installing glass, and buying some glassware are also natural things.

It's not that these people don't want to continue to make money, but because capital is still in its infancy, and all industries are basically divided into guilds and chambers of commerce and those who actually have but don't.

Manufacturing, workshops, textiles, etc., all of which have guilds; And such as watchmaking, carpenter, mirror grinding and other purely handicraft food, although there are also peer associations, but the main thing within the peer association is to exchange technology and there is not much competition, and there is no competition, you can hire a hundred apprentices to go to the large-scale dry grinding mirror watchmaking and parts such a business, because this is a high-end craft.

The former is a primitive capitalist, while the latter is at best a high-income working class, completely different.

The guild has strict internal barriers, and many middle-level earners cannot invest in reproduction even if they have money, and basically choose to accumulate or consume.

Therefore, the glass workshop in Mincheng has been prosperous in the past two years, and they have made a lot of money, and the president of the Mincheng Glass Hall has become more and more prestigious in recent years.

The guilds of various industries are very strict internally, not only to maintain internal relations and prevent vicious competition; It is also necessary to obstruct the entry of some external forces.

This is the case in many industries, and the presidents of silk weaving and cotton spinning have to gather their peers every few days to set basic prices, distribute raw materials, and so on, to ensure that the guild will benefit from it.

This is not an unspoken rule, but an explicit rule that emerged in the embryonic era, and the heads of various chambers of commerce, guilds, and guilds are basically members of the council, representing the interests of local industry and commerce. The officials are also happy to see this, which not only maintains stability, but also ensures that the place they are in charge of will not be too depressed.

The emergence of this situation is basically caused by the emergence of new technologies in various industries in a short period of time, in fact, no matter what kind of era is the case, even if there is no new technology that breaks all this in a short period of time in an industry, it will still form an organization similar to a guild. It's just that the speed of scientific and technological development in the past hundred years after the advent of the industrial age is too fast, and the competition caused by the replacement will be torn apart by such a warm vein, but there is no such force now, and it will naturally tend to be silent.

When the glass of the charity trading company appeared in April, the glass workshops of the entire Fujian city could not sit still.

The color is translucent, not the color of forest grass leaves, less bubbles, low price, large specifications...... In every respect, these glass workshops have completely lost their competitive edge, at least in the window pane industry.

However, the shipment of glassware is not very large, and the big head is still such a large piece of glass.

As soon as the glass of the charity trading company appeared, it completely confused the glass manufacturing market in the entire Mincheng, and blatantly broke this rule: it was intolerable that the owner of this workshop, called the Nan'an County Private Glass Factory, did not come to visit the president of the glass guild.

Seeing that his pot was about to be smashed, the owners of various glass workshops couldn't stand it, and without waiting for the call of the president, they took the initiative to come to the home of Tian Wenliang, the president of the Mincheng Glass Guild.

"President, you have to take care of this matter, if we continue like this, our workshop will be finished. You go and look at the charity trading company, five silver coins and a big glass, how can we live? ”

"That's it, I'm going to starve us all to death!"

"If the glass workshop is finished, and the hired workers of hundreds of people can't eat, he will die."

Tian Wenliang listened to the gossip and rubbed his temples, feeling helpless.

As soon as the glass of the charity trading company was sold, he asked someone to buy a piece back, and he was extremely shocked at the time, and I have to say that it is much stronger than the glass in his own house, and the most important thing is that the price is cheap.

I thought that I would sit at home, and it would not be long before the owner of this private glass factory would come to him, and then it would be nothing more than spending some money to make a patent for this production method, and everyone would pay some money for win-win cooperation.

I never thought that I had been waiting at home for several days, but I didn't even have any news, and I found a few people to go to the charity trading company to find Hulin, but they said that they were not there, and I didn't know if they were there or didn't want to see them.

Tian Wenliang sighed and asked, "The glass of this charity trading company, I heard that the person behind the scenes is Chen Jian, the owner of the trading company, right?" ”

"Yes, that's what I said. said that Chen Jian went to Nan'an County to build a factory. But Nan'an is also in Min County, even if he is young, he doesn't understand anything, doesn't he understand? It's just an officer the size of a sesame seed, and he has no foundation, and he is involved in such a thing, hey. ”

Tian Wenliang said helplessly: "It's already mixed, what's the way?" We are all old craftsmen, let's just say this glass, which of you can make it like this? ”

Everyone shook their heads, thinking that if they could do this, then what were they worried about?

"President, the problem now is that this kid doesn't take the rules of the industry seriously at all, if he comes up with this production method, everyone can get together and buy it for three or five thousand, it's easy to say. If you want me to say, if he is shameless, then he will smash his workshop! ”

"It's not good to smash. The people are in Nan'an, not in Mincheng. Let's run to Nan'an and smash people, it's not good after all. Besides, three or five thousand? Do people sell it? ”

"But we have to think of a way, we can't go on like this, we will be finished if we continue like this. This is not a way to live. ”

Tian Wenliang said in his heart, I don't know if it will be over like this? This glass incident, the biggest impact is his previous largest glass workshop and his reputation as the president of the glass guild.

Someone couldn't help but shout: "If you want me to say, let's find someone to smash the charity trading company!" ”

Tian Wenliang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, not for the time being, this is the best policy." This Chen Jian is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and the shopkeeper of the trading company is Hu Zhuqian, and he has the reputation of doing good deeds...... Don't smash it until you have to. ”

"It's okay if you smash it, if we don't smash it, we'll pretend to open all the hired workers, let these hired workers make trouble, and the top will always take care of it." We don't have to make a move, we just tell these hired workers that our workshop can't go on, let them get out, and they will naturally go and smash the charity trading company. Although there is a contract, if you talk to the magistrate, it is considered a valid reason. ”

Tian Wenliang waved his hand and said, "This is the last resort, don't rush first." I think it's okay, let's salute first and then soldiers, and hold a banquet in two days, and invite Chen Jian and Hu Zhuqian to come over. It's best if you can negotiate a result, and you can't think of another way to do it. ”

"But we have to have a bottom line, right?"

"Join the guild, hand over the technology, and pay dividends every year."

"Dividends?"

When a group of people heard that they were going to cut meat from their bodies, they suddenly felt a little pain, shook their heads and said: "I think the dividends will be exempted, is it possible that the things we produce every year are made for him?" ”

Tian Wenliang was angry and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he had to pretend to be kind on his face, and said in his heart that if you don't cut the meat, then Jian Chen will eat all your bones!

In this era, there is no such thing as a lack of erection and conspiracy, but Tian Wenliang's mood at this time is really difficult to summarize except for such a sentence.

He imagined that Chen Jian's workshop should be the same as them, with many glass craftsmen, or the model of apprentices of craftsmen, and he couldn't imagine such a situation as large-scale production.

Therefore, I am more and more incomprehensible, and I can't imagine what kind of production capacity it is when I think about that kind of workshop from the perspective of the handicraft apprenticeship model.

Therefore, he felt that it was likely that this was a vicious competition, and the glass of the charity trading company must have been sold at a loss, until his own people went bankrupt and monopolized the glass industry in Mincheng.

Because of this, he feels that there is still room for turning around to be reasonable, hello, hello, hello, everyone. But the progress of technology is real, and he knows that his people are absolutely incapable of making such glass, so he wants to choose to cooperate, and he is the one who wants to cooperate the most.

There are many advantages to being the president of the glass guild, both fame and profit, and the annual distribution of raw materials and production to ensure internal harmony can naturally be more shared.

He was now both scared and relieved.

What he is afraid of is that Chen Jian has won over the rest of the workshops, and he is afraid that he will become the president of the Mincheng Glass Guild overnight with his skills; Fortunately, this kid is young and stunned after all, with too much appetite and too big ambitions, and he is completely ready to eat alone, forcing everyone to unite together.

So now he must decide, both fast and ruthless, otherwise once this young man reins in his ambitions, he will suffer the loss.

He did not directly oppose the doubts about the dividends or how much to buy, but changed the angle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this young man is vigorous, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It's also true, he became famous at a young age, and he also has a decent father at home, which is not surprising. ”

"Although I want to talk to him, there are some things that I still need to let him know. If he doesn't join in, we can make his workshop untenable. ”

"Since it's glass, this workshop has to use alkali. If you pinch this, he won't be able to jump up, and sooner or later he will have to give in. ”

Everyone nodded, and that was true. Silica sand is everywhere, but alkali is not everywhere. Either it is the desert north alkali that comes from the sea, or the gray alkali that burns grass ash in the coastal area.

The output is enough for the time being, and there are many industries that use alkali in Fujian. Textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, soap, rinsing, silk weaving are all required in these industries.

Glass is also a large part of the consumption of ash alkali, and there is both competition and cooperation between the various guilds in Mincheng, which is where Tian Wenliang's confidence in deciding to cut off the source of alkali lies.

"I'll discuss it with other guilds in the next two days, and we'll pay some money to eat all the alkali. In addition, Shi Ming, a commercial officer, has the right to lose evenly, and controls a part of various raw materials in his hands to ensure the stability of the industry and not be manipulated by profiteers. I can go and talk to him about this, it won't take long, just a month. ”

"Let that young man know that we have the ability to make him unable to run the workshop, and he will relent. I've seen a lot of this kind of people, but they're still too young and naïve. ”

"If he is still stubborn, then let his glass enter Mincheng, but the alkali can't enter Nan'an at all! How can a tree without roots and water without a source last long? ”
