Chapter 892: Xue Mushan returns
The crystal beads in the box, one is the size of a grape.
This quality, this color, the shopkeeper thinks that five hundred taels will definitely make a profit.
The only thing I am worried about is the output of Wang Xu's side, if there are only thirty or fifty pieces, I am afraid it will not be a big business.
"Young Master Wang, I don't know how much of such a crystal bead you can provide?" Shopkeeper Tong asked carefully.
Wang Xu stretched out a finger and shook it gently: "One month, one hundred!" ”
He plans to release 10,000 crystal beads in a month, 120,000 in a year, and a turnover of around 60 million silver.
But these crystal beads can't all be handed over to the shopkeeper Tong to do, because there are 36 prefectures in Yangzhou, and there are countless counties and townships.
Only in this way can we benefit evenly, and the glass bead business will be the same as pearls, and it will continue to operate for a long time.
In every county, in every province, he will look for an agent.
The time is not yet ripe, and when the time is ripe, Wang Xu will increase the monthly output from 10,000 to 100,000, and the business scope will be summarized in Kyushu, and even in the southern Xinjiang and the far north.
At that time, in a year, the net income of the Wang family was hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and they were also famous and wealthy businessmen in the world.
At that time, not only glass beads, glasses, glass pots, glass lamps, and glass mirrors can also be launched one after another.
How much prestige Wang Xu has, he can accumulate a lot of business, and the two complement each other and turn into a lever for him to leverage the world.
Now, it's just a small step in a journey of 10,000 miles, and he hasn't used it yet.
"One hundred!"
Shopkeeper Tong was pleasantly surprised, but also a little unwilling.
Things are good things, but the number is too small, a string of crystal bracelets costs twelve crystal beads, a hundred crystal beads, and a full dozen is only eight strings and four surplus.
Six thousand taels of crystal bracelets, even if they are sold for 10,000 taels, there are many people in Liyang County who can afford them, and they are not enough at all.
Yes, the crystal bracelet with a cost price of 6,000 taels, Shopkeeper Tong has decided to price it at 10,000 taels.
If Wang Xu wants to make money, he can't lose money, not to mention, the crystal bracelet itself is a good thing.
"Young Master Wang, I don't know where this crystal bead came from?" After thinking about the price, the shopkeeper Tong thought about the origin again.
The pearls of Zhejiang Mansion, known as the century-old shellfish, have the effect of prolonging life whether they are applied externally or internally, and the price will naturally be expensive.
If the origin of the crystal beads is ordinary, you can't say, you have to add some ingredients to make the origin of the crystal beads more expressive.
"These crystal beads, dug out of the mine, are natural gemstones, and it takes a lot of effort to polish them into this shape. Therefore, due to the limitation of production, there are very few finished products per month, and even fewer can appear on the market. ”
Wang Xu did not say that glass was manufactured, but rendered it into a natural gemstone to set off its value.
In order to deal with this statement, he even made people start digging down the mountain north of Fengxi Village, and as for what to dig, of course, it is not enough for outsiders.
"I see!" Hearing Wang Xu's explanation, the shopkeeper Tong looked envious, jealous and hateful.
As for the authenticity, he didn't think deeply, because he was more willing to believe in the theory of natural ore than glass beads were made.
You don't see, jadeite, white jade, precious stones, are all mined from the mines.
The appearance of glass beads is the same as that of a gemstone, who would think that this thing does not come from the mine, but from the factory?
If in the future, there is a day when the paper can't hold the fire, he can completely excuse it and say, I haven't said such a thing, this is what the unscrupulous businessman said in order to hype himself, just like promoting pearls to nourish beauty.
Leaving a string of crystal bracelets as a model, and promising to send another eighty-eight crystal beads in the afternoon, Wang Xu took away 50,000 taels of silver tickets from Liao Kee's pawn shop.
Fifty thousand taels of silver tickets is not much, but it is the first step to gather sand into a tower.
Similarly, behind the Liao Ji pawn shop, standing is Liao Wenlong, a knife and pen official, and even the Liao family, who has been an official for generations, which also helps the Wang family gain a firm foothold in the county.
After all, there is an old saying that the iron yamen, the flowing county order, and the immovable officials.
The officials are not officials, but they are responsible for the normal operation of the county government, and whether the decree of the county order can go out of the yamen depends on whether the officials below will cater to it.
If the officials unite and resist the prefectural ordinance together, it will be difficult to do anything even if the prefectural ordinance is made.
There are few outstanding businessmen in Liyang County, and the Liao family is the one who can succeed in the short generals.
As for the Song County Order, what does he want Wang Xu knows, cooperate with him and send him money, it is better to send him officials and political achievements.
Not all officials love money, Song Jue is bent on climbing up, and if you give him real money, you will offend him.
With the appearance of crystal beads, a gust of wind blew out from Liyang County.
This gust of wind was not blown by Wang Xu, but by the Liao family.
got the crystal bead from Wang Xu's hand, and the Liao family reacted within a few days, taking the opportunity of the old man's birthday of the Liao family, so that the crystal bead leaked his face greatly.
The Liao family is a family of officials, the head snake of Liyang County, the so-called Hades is better, the little ghosts are difficult, and the businessmen who are begging for a living in Liyang County, who dare not give this face.
The Liao family congratulated the old man on his birthday, and the scenery was beautiful, and the people with heads and faces in the county went to those who could go, and those who couldn't go also gave birthday gifts.
The birthday banquet opened eighty-eight tables, and the most talked-about thing was not the scale, but as a filial son, Liao Wenlong presented a plate of pearls to the old man.
Of the thousands of people here, one is counted as one, and no one can tell the origin of the pearl.
I saw that these pearls were crystal clear, unheard of, like rare treasures.
In just one day, the big families in Liyang County knew about this kind of thing called crystal beads.
Although the crystal beads, there is no crystal cup, and the crystal pot is eye-catching, it still attracts everyone to get a sneak peek.
Many people have seen colorless gemstones, so transparent, almost impurities-free, but they have never even heard of them.
When I asked the price, the same beads were only slightly more expensive than Zhejiang pearls, and the people present were not bad for money, so what were you waiting for if you didn't buy them.
The crystal beads are in the hands of the Liao family, which can be regarded as playing tricks.
In addition to crystal bracelets, the Liao family also made crystal beads into earrings, rings, hairpins, and even buttons on money bags.
Rich people like to wear money bags on their belts, money bags are made of gold wire, there are silk, the two ends of the rope that binds the bag, and jade is used as a lining, so that the rope of the money bag can naturally go down and go down the money bag to both sides.
In addition to putting money, the money bag also has the function of decoration.
As the saying goes, the gentleman wears jade, jade is linked to the gentleman, people without merit and fame can not wear it, you have money and no fame, and you can't hang jade pendants on your body, you can only hang a gold medal peace blessing, or a money bag as a decoration.
The gold medal is too vulgar, but there is no money bag that is easy to understand, and there is a money bag hanging on your body, and others will know that you are rich at a glance, and the effect is the same as the gold chain around the neck of modern people.
Slowly, there are more patterns of crystal beads, and there are naturally more uses.
Wang Xu also heard that a Xiucai who planned to go to the north to join the army spent a lot of money to buy a crystal bead from someone else, which was said to be inlaid on the hilt of the sword.
In just two days, the crystal beads in the hands of the Liao family were snapped up by the people who flocked to it at a price of 1,000 taels.
This is not the end, many people who can't buy crystal beads even blocked the door of Liao's house, and asked where the crystal beads are still sold.
The Liao family couldn't stop it, so they could only tell everyone that these crystal beads flowed out of the Wang family.
In the face of the crowd vying for purchase, Wang Xu did not sell any of them, but let out the wind, saying that in Liyang County in the future, only the Liao family can sell crystal beads, one hundred per month.
The Liao family is grateful to Dade and can't wait to offer Wang Xu as an ancestor.
Similarly, Wang Xu also took advantage of this wind and began to select powerful and powerful local wealthy families to cooperate in other prefectures and counties.
One house chooses an agent to supply 300 crystal beads per month.
A county selects an agent to supply 100 crystal beads per month.
In the thirty-six mansions of Yangzhou, Wang Xu endured it, but he couldn't help but release 20,000 pieces.
It's not that he can't control himself, but everyone is rushing to send money, and they have to fight in order to get more shares, and they really can't refuse everyone's enthusiasm.
Looking back and sobering up, Wang Xu fell into distress.
There is too much money, 500 taels of crystal beads, and 20,000 pieces are shipped a month, which is 10 million taels.
In a year, it is 120 million taels, which is a bit of a burn of money.
Just when Wang Xu was wondering, whether he had money and didn't make money, he would rather make less money than make a big shade, Xue Mushan came back from Jiangnan and brought back good news.
