Chapter 267: Business Empire
"Awesome!" Fang Zheng sighed sincerely. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this tungsten is actually the raw material for making filaments on the earth......
"What about the cost?" asked Fang Zheng again.
Ruan Xiaotang cracked his mouth and smiled: "Crystals, there are many crystals all over the coast, even along the Lingjiang River, in the sand quarries next to various rivers, you can collect a lot of crystal ......."
"It is often given as a by-product to the boss who buys sand and gravel. ”
"All in all, cheap!"
"Tungsten ore is hard, heat-resistant, it is the material of the forging furnace of the arsenal, and it can also be quenched on some weapons, which is slightly more expensive, but we don't use much, and one such crystal only needs eight particles the size of a finger to ......."
"The development cost is not counted, the cost price of a crystal like this is ......" Ruan Xiaotang raised a finger.
"A silver dollar?" Fang Zheng smiled.
"No, a tael of silver!" Ruan Xiaotang said coldly.
Fang Zheng was dumbfounded: "Then, how much do you plan to sell?!"
"Considering that the price of crystal and tungsten ore will rise in the future, and it will also earn back the development cost, I decided to sell it for ten taels of silver!"
"The empire, an ordinary family, spends a hundred taels of silver a year, and often has a balance of ten taels of silver!"
"Buy a crystal like this, save a little, just use it for late-night lighting, it's no problem to use it for a year, so that everyone can use it!" Ruan Xiaotang smiled leisurely: "The empire's billion population, even if it is only half, 500 million people, each person earns nine taels of silver, which is 4.5 billion taels!"
"That's four and a half million silver dollars...... Counting many of these rich people, if they buy a little more at home, they will change it every month, and after a rough calculation, they can bring three million silver dollars to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in January!"
"The annual income is more than the tax of the dragon!"
Fang Zheng also took a deep breath: "In the future, human beings will never be affected by the night like this again!"
"By the way, this crystal, you can choose a name!" Ruan Xiaotang looked at Fang Zheng and smiled.
"Let's call it the white light!" Fang Zheng said: "Since it is to popularize all the people, it must be a cliché name to make it easier to promote!"
"Reasonable!" Ruan Xiaotang immediately accepted.
"And!" Fang Zheng suddenly said, "Have you hoarded a lot of white crystal and tungsten ore now?"
"Of course!" Ruan Xiaotang opened his mouth and smiled.
Fang Zhengze's face was heavy: "Once this is promoted, sooner or later it will be learned by other people, and at that time, the low cost will inevitably lead to a price war, and the profit will be greatly reduced, so I have a trick here, so that the Zhonghui Chamber of Commerce can make a permanent profit!"
"What a way!" Fang Zheng said, Ruan Xiaotang naturally foresaw: "Actually, the white light was completed seven days ago, but we have not been publicly sold for a long time......"
"Because, we know that once we know the ratio of crystal to tungsten, it is not very difficult to manufacture!"
"We have been thinking of a way to ensure that the technology of the white light is not leaked, but it is too difficult to ensure that the technology is not leaked under the premise of ensuring the utility of the white light, and our craftsmen have made many attempts, but they have not succeeded!"
"That's why it's been delayed so far!"
Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, he liked to use metaphors to explain the problem, and then said: "Suppose, you haven't eaten for a few days and are about to starve to death, and there is a bowl of rice for you to ...... at this time."
"Will you gobble it up and eat it with relish?"
"Of course it will!" Ruan Xiaotang smiled: "I have also encountered this situation, when I was a child, when my father was unhappy, it was common for him to starve and freeze. ”
"But, if you are developed, it is the same as ...... now"
"Would you like to eat white rice every day?"
"I definitely don't want to!" Ruan Xiaotang shrugged: "I want to eat meat!"
"That's right!" Fang Zheng concluded: "White light is like white rice, once it is promoted, after a long time, everyone can use it, and the dignitaries will not be satisfied with this......"
"They're going to go for better!"
"You want me to spend money to continue to improve?" Ruan Xiaotang muttered.
"No!" Fang Zheng said firmly: "Crystal, there are cheap and common white crystals, but there are also expensive, very rare amethysts, red crystals, blue crystals, ......"
"If you use these crystals with tungsten, you might be able to make lanterns!"
"Illuminations?"
"Try to imagine," Fang Zheng said instructively, "although fireworks are beautiful, they are fleeting, but your lanterns are like eternal fireworks, shining in the night......"
"You are such a genius!" Ruan Xiaotang was dumbfounded.
Fang Zheng smiled: "Actually, otherwise, once the white light is promoted, some people will naturally think of this, so you have to seize the opportunity!"
"How to do it?" Ruan Xiaotang didn't bother to think about it at this time, so he simply asked Fang Zheng directly.
"Stop the acquisition of white crystal, tungsten ore as a mineral, is a state-owned asset, the price will not fluctuate, the acquisition is of little significance!" Fang Zheng looked like a profiteer: "However, colored crystals can start to purchase on a large scale, or even buy out!"
"Then, when the white light is extended to a certain extent, you will advise the Holy Lord!" Fang Zheng smiled: "Say that you are willing to hand over the manufacturing method for the glory of the empire!"
"At this time, the Holy Lord will definitely compensate you!"
"At the same time, the manufacture of white lights will be turned into state-owned, and other chambers of commerce may not dare to produce rashly, even if the Holy Lord will let go of production in order to make the empire prosperous......"
"There are many people who produce, the pressure of competition is very great, and the price will gradually become normal, and the cost of one or two taels of silver will be unbelievable......
"And you, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, after making enough money, have received a holy reward, but at this time, you have turned your customers to those high-ranking officials and nobles, and with a monopoly advantage, sell lanterns, a million profits!"
"Trust me!" Fang Zheng looked at Ruan Xiaotang and said firmly: "The Chinese Chamber of Commerce will inevitably become a business empire that no one can shake!"
Fang Zheng's words made Ruan Xiaotang dumbfounded, she smiled charmingly, grabbed Fang Zheng's arm at once, shook it coquettishly, and grinded her chest on Fang Zheng's arm: "I don't care, I want to hire you to be the head of my Chinese Chamber of Commerce!"
"What will you do if I become the manager?!" Fang Zheng said with a leisurely smile.
"I'll be the boss behind the scenes......" Ruan Xiaotang smiled.
"This ......" Fang Zheng's face became serious: "If you really thank me, can you lend me another five million silver dollars?"
"Five million?" Ruan Xiaotang took a deep breath: "In order to develop that agricultural business circle, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has invested a lot, and the current capital turnover is not open......
As she spoke, her face changed again, and she smiled like a spring flower: "However, if you borrow it, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I have to give it to you~"
