Returned to modern Huangshi, took a little rest, changed his clothes and drove out, and went directly to the Taijiang Farmers Wholesale Market, this time he didn't go to Taobao, because this time did not wait for anyone, he just thought about it, for Su Min has such a maritime business, with their existing channels, it is not as good as a mirror, first of all, in terms of value, according to Zhou Mingrui, they came back after their investigation and said, there are only a small number of big shops in Fuzhou Mansion that sell the Taixi glass mirror, It's not much bigger than the mirror on the powder box that I gave them half away and half sells, but the price reached 500 taels of silver.

Thinking that he also had a pocket watch and sold it for 600 taels of silver, Huang Shi couldn't help but wonder if he was selling it too cheaply and being regarded as a wronged man, but this time he must learn a lesson, and he doesn't need to be so anxious at all.

Walking into the small commodity market, what greeted was a wave of voices, those stall owners used small electric speakers to shout their own goods over and over again, and the buyers gathered next to the stalls were there to pick things and bargain, Huangshi was noisy and had to see if there were any goods he wanted from the gap in the crowd, and walked a long way forward, and the crowd began to gradually thin out.

Walked to a corner, found that there was no one in front of the stall at the corner, and it was not selling other things such as clothes, women's backpacks, etc., the shelves in front of the stall were divided into several areas, and there were all kinds of different styles of women's makeup mirrors, small hairpins, powder boxes, etc., which were really dazzling and colorful, no wonder my daughter always couldn't move in front of this kind of small stall in the night market before.

Standing in front of the stall, I saw that the stall owner was sitting on a small square table, holding a 5-inch smartphone in both hands and playing his bubble hall there.

"Ah", the boss may have pressed something wrong because of Huang Shi's throat, and was about to burst into a foul mouth, when he looked up and found that it was a guest, so he swallowed the words into his stomach, but the words that came out were still cold, "Mirror, aren't they all on here, you won't pick them yourself."

Huang Shi looked at the tall and thin young man in front of him with long hair, pale face, and thick glasses at the bottom of the bottle, and felt uncomfortable for a while, no wonder this business was so bad, he couldn't help but be unhappy, Huang Shi gestured with his hand to the meaning of the size of a book, "I want such a big square frame mirror, do you have it here?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it clearly", the young man's face was unnatural, he just looked at the top of his stall, obviously there were just small round mirrors on it, inserted his mobile phone into his trouser pocket, then grabbed his hair and thought about it, bent down and pulled out several cardboard boxes from under the shelves of the stall, and after flipping through one after another, he finally saw the square frame mirror.

"See if it's the kind you want", the young man took out a mirror and handed it to Huang Shi, Huang Shi took it and felt it, the mirror surface is still very good, but the back panel of this frame is a relatively rough plastic plate, and there is nothing to think about, at most, let Zhu Mingxin make a few more beautiful wooden frames in the future.

"Okay, that's it, how much is it?" Huang Shi checked the mirror in his hand, and it felt relatively strong.

The young man was a little surprised, because he saw that the other party was dressed like a good person but not like a businessman, he thought that he had just come to buy a piece, but he didn't expect to look away, "Well, boss, 10 yuan a piece, if you want more, 8 yuan will be given to you", thinking that these square mirrors seem to have been pressed for a long time, and it would be a good thing if they could be cleaned up.

"Okay, how many more mirrors like this do you have here", Huang Shi didn't bother to bargain.

The young man squatted down and began to count in the box, "There are 50 noodles, exactly 400 yuan, boss, do you want to look at the others, my goods here are of guaranteed quality", it may be the reason for making a business, the young man was also happy, with a smile on his face.

"Well, okay, I'll take a look", Huang Shi really looked at the stall after speaking, he picked several small round mirrors, colorful powder boxes, and hairpins inlaid with various "gems", "Give 50 of each, you can calculate how much, and then give two blank cardboard boxes with no words on them, and help me put them away on both sides."

"Okay", hearing Huangshi's report, the young man suddenly smiled, neatly put those things in two cartons, and then picked up the calculator and crackled to calculate, and also reported the quantity and price, and finally reported the number, "Boss, a total of 2508 yuan, I will erase the change for you, and I will charge you 2500 yuan."

Putting things in the trunk of the car, clapping his hands, Huang Shi looked at the business card that the young man stuffed into him just now, "Chen Longxiang, General Manager Chen", it turned out that there was also a title written on it, and he didn't feel a little smiling.

……

It was already the morning of the next day, Huang Shi and the other four people were sitting at the small round table in the guest room of the Rifle Inn, and some other family members had been assigned by Huang Shi to investigate the relevant situation of Sihaixing and Su Ji Grocery Store, such as the identity of the shareholders, the size of the business, competitors and other information. "Master, you mentioned to that Master Su yesterday that you wanted to take a stake in their four seas, but did you use our original pocket watch powder boxes?" Mu Dexian asked after taking a sip of tea.

Huang Shi took out the two cardboard boxes from the light gate, put them on the ground next to the table, took out a few mirrors from one of the boxes with both hands, and handed them to the three people next to him, "Don't get the ones you have now, this is something I got from the upper realm, but it's something more shocking."

"Well, master, your silver mirror is bigger, the texture and carving of this edging are not as good as the original small mirrors", Zhu Mingxin touched the square frame mirror in his hand, and then looked at the material of the square frame, and at a glance it can be seen that this thing is not very good, there seem to be some burrs in some places, and the color is not particularly pure, and it feels very floating.

Huang Shi smiled and didn't speak, looking at the curtain, the curtain was idle and frowned a little at this mirror, usually used to the exquisite packaging and exquisite carving of the things in the upper realm, and then looked at this square mirror with poor quality, how did he feel awkward, it was better to take out the original ones and buy shares.

Zhou Mingrui looked at Huang Shi who was smiling but still didn't speak, and then looked at Zhu Mingxin at the same table, "Master, the little one guesses that this silver mirror is on this 'big' word, and if you let Mingxin stay, I'm afraid you still have to let him make a 'treasure' box like last time", after all, he has done private tooth business, and this head is turning fast.

"Mingrui, are you still smart, you probably saw that I took these treasures from the upper realm casually, and you thought that these things were easy to get in your lower realm", Huang Shi paused for a moment to look at a few of them, "Didn't you go to see the silver mirrors of several other overseas loan firms not long ago, are they so big, and the quality is so good?"

The three of them shook their heads, and Huang Shi smiled with satisfaction, "That's it, you also know that this silver mirror is called Taixi glass mirror in these trading houses, and it was all transported by ship from Taixi thousands of miles away, this sea is high and rough, where is it possible to safely transport such a large silver mirror, and it is estimated that it is difficult for them to make such a large mirror."

Huang Shi stood up, circled around the crowd, then put his hands on the back of his chair, and continued, "You must know that there is a big country called France in this Tessie country, and his king and queen are married, and all the Tessie countries at that time sent envoys to that France country and presented all kinds of rare treasures to the queen, among them, the gift given by the king of Venice is the most popular with this new queen, this gift is a mirror the size of a book, that is, the size of our silver mirror, But it is not as clear as our silver mirror, but it is worth as much as 150,000 gold francs."

This is a real history, but it will happen 42 years later in 1600 AD, but in this time and space, due to the long life of Zhengde, it is estimated that history has begun to be different at that time, and the general trend of history has not changed, but the details have obviously changed. The queen and the king should not appear again, even if they have the same name, they cannot be the same person, but the preciousness of this silver mirror will not change, at least until the secret of the Venetian glass mirror is cracked by other countries.

"150,000 gold francs", Zhu Mingxin subconsciously recounted it, and everyone had the impression that gold was only two, cents, and money, but "ten thousand" and "gold" were still quite eye-catching.

"Yes, 150,000 gold francs, about 1,500 taels of gold, or 20,000 taels of silver", Huang Shi made a rough calculation in his heart, and reported a number, feeling that he didn't believe it, he counted silver and gold separately, maybe the two are still very different.

"Shhhhh
