Chapter 116: Glass
Stacks of ledgers were packed into boxes and locked, and Gu Wan looked worried about Mu Yanzhao. //..
The so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the raising of grain and grass required huā money, and the Mu family was not a Feng Dynasty, and they were used to fishing with all their might, as long as a battle could be won, it didn't matter how many merchants destroyed their homes and destroyed their homes, and how many people were displaced.
"Mu Qi, what do you think of my glass conservatory?"
Mu Yanzhao smiled: "Naturally, it's good, it's the first time I've seen such a clear and large piece of glass, let alone a house made of glass, Wan Niang is really thoughtful." ”
Gu Wan rubbed her lips with a smile: "Then I'll ask Uncle Zhao and them to help you build one too, how about it?" ”
Let's see if such a glass greenhouse will be popular, if it is popular, it will be considered a financial road.
Mu Yanzhao pretended to hesitate, with a slight smile in his eyes: "Forget it, although the glass conservatory is good, what I like is the beauty in the conservatory." ”
If such a conservatory is built at home, won't he have less money to come to Gu's house to borrow?
Just looking at Mu Qigongzi's playful gaze, Gu Wan knew what his idea was, a trace of blush appeared on her cheeks, she coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be kidding, I just asked you, how many people are willing to build such a conservatory?" ”
Mu Qisi looked down and thought: "There are not many rich people in Yazhou, and there are probably only four or five families that can build it, but looking at the whole country, there should be many families who will like this kind of exquisite thing." ”
Gu Wan was thoughtful.
As early as the previous dynasty, glass has appeared, either after the Ming and Qing dynasties, people said that glass, or transparent. Translucent glass, most of which are somewhat variegated, such as light blue and light green. But there are also good craftsmen. I can burn transparent glass.
Of course, at this time, the production of glass was very small, and it was generally only used occasionally by the court and the family, and ordinary people could not afford it, nor were they very willing to use it.
I just arrived in Yazhou. When Gu Wan wanted to make money. The first thing that came to mind was glass, who made her look at all kinds of things in the 21st century, as long as it was traversal. The protagonist, whether male or female, likes to make money by burning glass.
However, after planning for a while, Wang Gang helped acquire two glass workshops and saw the finished products made by the workshops. Looking at the sales volume over the years, Gu Wan had no choice but to give up the idea of doing glass business for the time being. //..
The glassware made by the glass workshop is gorgeous and colorful, crystal bright, all kinds of things, and the craftsmen's hands are also skillful, and the finished products are not worse than those modern handicrafts at all.
But that's the case, there are not too many people like to use glassware, and the powerful people value gold and jade more than fragile glass, and ordinary people can't afford it at all, and it is estimated that they would rather use stronger ceramics and bronzes.
Gu Wan has mature technical formulas in her hands, but there are no machines, she relies on manual production, even with these technical formulas, at most, the glassware produced is more high-grade, and the business is better than other workshops, and it is impossible to make a lot of money from this.
As for simply getting the machine out, Gu Wan didn't even think about it, not to mention that the price of that thing was so expensive that it made people vomit blood, and when the Gu family was rich enough to buy it and play with it, don't feel uncomfortable now, that is, when it is really time to mass-produce glass in piles and piles, the glass will no longer be valuable.
So, Gu Wan gave up the idea of making money with glass, and planned to renovate her house first, install glass windows and glass doors, and then build a warm house or something...... You can eat green vegetables in winter, that's life.
The current house is so gloomy and uncomfortable that in the middle of winter, when the windows are closed and the lights are not lit, it is almost to the point where two people do not know each other face to face. Not to mention that in winter, Gu Wan wants to eat some fresh vegetables, but she doesn't dare to eat them happily, just a little bit of the hot spring Zhuangzi, where is there enough to eat?
In the past, in the 21st century, even if Gu Wan was an orphan and didn't have much money, she could eat whatever she wanted all year round, how could she be like now? If it is really none, it will be fine, but Gu Wan is not nothing, but she does not dare to eat openly. Now that she has the conditions, she is not willing to wronged herself, and as soon as her life is on the right track, the first thing Gu Wan does is to let a few old craftsmen experiment to see if she can make transparent flat glass.
The wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated, there is Gu Wan behind the scenes to provide a variety of technical data support, not half a month, really let them drum it out, of course, the artificial glass is still not very large, the larger one is only half a foot long, two or three inches wide, and the transparency is also unsatisfactory, only occasionally there will be some extremely excellent glass, but there are and no, it is originally two concepts.
When the things came out, Gu Wan renovated her study and her eldest brother's study, and began to replace all the window paper in the house one after another. I also asked the willow wood to help build a small greenhouse in the huā garden, the area is not large, about half an acre small, built near the water, but it is crystal clear, very beautiful.
Gu Nan and Chen Wenrou liked it very much when they saw it, Gu Nan even gave Bao Yuan all the relatively large pieces of plate glass left in the workshop and used them to rebuild his study, and Gu Wan was also ready to replace the glass windows for her master.
This is not a small project, after all, there are not many qualified glass produced in the workshop, and it was not until March that Gu Wan completely lived in a house with glass windows.
The conservatory was only built in winter last year, and the glass made in the workshop was used, because during the New Year, everyone was very busy, and Gu Wan didn't have time to let her master visit, but it was not bad to let Mu Qi appreciate it first, and she still believed in the appreciation level of the Mu family's son.
"Can you help me calculate, how much money should I charge to build a conservatory?"
Gu Wan took out the calculation chips and account books.
Mu Yanzhao lowered his head and secretly calculated: "Well, this is a new thing, let's not talk about the big families, now many noble families are compared to the trend, as long as one is built, other families will definitely be built, I think, you might as well ask for a higher price, a small greenhouse is 10,000 guan, and the large one ranges from 30,000 guan to 100,000 guan, someone must build it." ”
Gu Wan raised her eyebrows and blinked, who would dare to say that Mu Qigongzi is kind-hearted, a few pieces of glass that don't cost much, he will ask for 10,000 yuan as soon as he opens his mouth!
After discussing with his own master, Lord Chen agreed: "Ten thousand guan, it's okay." At first, there is nothing to discount, attract popularity, and when there are more people who build in the future, it is not too late to increase the price. ”
Gu Wan was dizzy! For the first time, I felt that I was too far behind, and when it came to being thick-skinned and black-hearted, she was difficult to pat at the horse's master.
"Too expensive, isn't it?" Gu Wan wiped her forehead weakly.
Chen Wenrou's fingers poked over at once, poking at the door of his lover's head: "What is expensive!" Do you really think there are a lot of craftsmen who can burn glass? It is also the craftsmen of the family who can burn the glass well, and the two glass workshops you bought, if it weren't for the Mu family, no matter how high your bid is, people will not sell it to you. The quality of the glass made in your glass workshop is much higher than that made by others, and you don't make money at this time, so you wait until everyone has learned to make better ones, and then you start to make money? ”
Gu Wan exhaled and nodded honestly, now she understands that even if she was Mrs. Hou in her previous life, in terms of courage, she couldn't even reach one percent of Lord Chen.
said that it was to make money, but in fact, the glass produced at the beginning was not even enough for gifts, so one was built for Chen Wenrou, one for Gu Nan, and one for the Mu family. The three conservatories can't save glass, and the area can only be larger than the Gu family. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
