Chapter 113: The Glassworks (Part II)
Jack, a money fan, didn't even sleep under the incentive of a salary increase, led a group of technical backbones to study day and night, I don't know how many hairs were consumed, and finally researched it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiaotian received the news of their successful development a few days ago, but because of Lu Rui's relationship, he has not had time to look at it, and now he is just leading Zhang Gonggong to inspect the test results.
This glass mirror is about half a meter long and wide, it is completely enough to dress up, and the reflectivity is much better than that of mercury mirrors, although it does not meet the standards of later generations, but in this era, this thing is a really good thing, and it can already be mass-produced.
When Father-in-law Zhang saw this mirror, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, and asked Xiaotian in a panic: "Ah, what happened, why was my soul taken away?" Master Hou, our family has always been respectful to you, you. Why do you want to harm me? ”
Xiao Tian looked at Father-in-law Zhang, who was so frightened that he couldn't stand anymore, and smiled: "Father-in-law Zhang, don't panic, this is a mirror." As he spoke, he took the mirror and demonstrated.
Father-in-law Zhang was not embarrassed, but just snatched the mirror and shouted: "Our family wants to sacrifice such a sacred object to the master, long live the master, you can't rob it with our family."
Xiao Tian smiled: "This kind of artifact naturally has to be given to some in the palace, and I will give it to my father-in-law myself when I turn around, and I will also send it to my father-in-law Huang, how about it?" ”
Father-in-law Zhang was shocked: "Is there still a lot of such a divine object?" ”
Xiao Tiandao: "Then I have to ask Mr. Jack", as he said, he turned his head and asked: "Jack, what is the output of our factory to make this kind of mirror."
Jack patted his chest and promised: "Boss, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, the factory can produce twenty mirrors a day at present, and I promise you that it can be increased to forty mirrors when the workers are skilled in the future." ”
Xiao Tian nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said to Gonggong Zhang: "How is it, do you still think I opened him two thousand taels now?" ”
Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly said: "Not much, not much, such a divine object, our family can sell it for 5,000 taels."
Xiaotian immediately said: "Very good, since Gonggong Zhang said so, then this mirror will follow the model of soap, and hand it over to Ouchi to sell, just hand it over to the Treasure Bureau, how about I sell you three thousand taels of silver, as for how much you sell, I don't care, let's work hard, and strive to earn the silver of His Majesty's Wanshou Palace this year, I will also have more than two thousand taels of money, and you will let me earn a little."
Although the cost of this mirror is high, even if you count the labor, it is only more than three hundred taels, and Xiaotian has multiplied tenfold in one mouth, is the technology monopoly, it is such a bull fork.
Jack also wanted to explain, "No, no, no, my dear boss, it doesn't need to be that high, it just needs to be 。。。。。 ”
Before he finished speaking, he was responded by Xiao Tian with a murderous look, and he shut up numbly.
Father-in-law Zhang didn't care, did he do business, how could he make some money, and he still raised such a big sailor for His Majesty.
Zhang Gong said openly: "No problem, no problem, soap plus this mirror, the master's life will be better in the future, three thousand taels and one side, we will collect as much as you want."
The main raw material of glass is quartz, this thing is in the Ming Dynasty, there is a large scale quartz mine on Lijia Island, at least in a few years, there is no need to worry about the problem of production, with such an artifact as a mirror, the 600,000 taels of silver that built the glass factory can be earned back soon, and the profit brought by this thing to Xiaotian is not even lower than whale oil.
In fact, Xiaotian is very rich now, it is not an exaggeration to say, don't look at Yan Song being scolded as the number one corrupt official in the world, it is really Bibi's family property, Xiaotian may not lose much to him, and when the mirror is on the right track in the future, he is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
Gold and silver things, hunger, thirst, and drink, after a certain extent, it is a number, with Xiaotian's current net worth, even if he eats and waits for death now, it is not easy to spend such a large sum of money.
The whale oil business has been running smoothly, with more than 400,000 taels of input every month, and there is basically no cost to this thing, not to mention that 300,000 yuan has gone into Xiaotian's pocket. Silk tea, etc., the imperial court gave him all the inventory early, and the profits of Xiaotian and the imperial court were almost four or six cents, and there were nearly one million taels of input. Plus other miscellaneous ones, similar to jadeite and the like, are already very impressive.
Xiao Tian once calculated, not counting the mirror, Xiao Tian's current assets have reached an astonishing three million taels, and by the end of the year, it can reach at least eight million taels, and the salt tax of the Ming Dynasty for a whole year is seven million taels.
In feudal dynasties, silver was a bite, especially when it was barely spent. For Xiao Tian, silver is no longer used to spend, but he still wants to do a lot of things in Daming, and all of these things require a lot of silver. Otherwise, he will definitely hand over all the extra profits, and you will not dare to build a palace to live in, even if you have earned a mountain of gold. Xiao Tian had already assured Jiajing that his business would be the business of the imperial court sooner or later, and the silver would be the silver of the imperial court sooner or later.
Xiao Tian knows better than anyone that in addition to suppressing the widows, he is now the hen that lays eggs in the imperial court, when the hen can't lay eggs or the eggs are too few, and when is the hen in the pot to eat meat.
The old hen can't resist her master's butcher's knife, but the eagle can. Xiao Tian's goal is to work hard to level up, and strive to become a small eagle before he goes ashore, and when he can't lay eggs, he will become a big eagle and soar for nine days.
The glass factory is his first self-defense shield, firstly, this thing is on the island, except for Xiaotian, no one knows how to manage it, and secondly, the technical threshold of this thing is too high, and no one else can understand it except him.
And the two secret bases outside the island are his second and third self-defense shields, and they are much stronger than the glassworks.
In addition to the glass factory, Xiaotian also has two secret bases, and Grandpa Zhang has never heard of this thing before today. A glass factory gave Grandpa Zhang such a big surprise, so what would be a secret base that was a hundred times more mysterious? hurriedly clamored for Xiaotian to take a look.
Xiao Tian is as good as a stream, although he has promised Jiajing a long time ago, but he also has to let Jiajing know where he spent his money, and the biggest role of the shield is not when the weapon is cut, but when the enemy wants to cut, he will take the knife back when he sees that you have a shield.
The two secret bases are outside the island, although they are not far away, but the vast sea, if there is no one to lead the way, you will not be able to find it for a few years.
The glass factory cost Xiao Tian 600,000 taels of silver, which was already a terrifying figure in this era, but it was nothing compared to these two secret bases, which together cost Xiao Tian all his savings, and even overdrew a lot from Wang Nao and Oda Nobunaga. Xiaotian was in a hurry to sell the mirror in order to give blood transfusions to these two projects. (To be continued.) )
