Except for Wang Qingluan, who already knew about it, everyone including Duan Lun was shocked again.

Five hundred dollars, it doesn't seem like much, but it's also half a month's worth for these people here.

Tang Ping estimated earlier that one yuan in this era is about equal to seven yuan in modern times, so five hundred yuan is three thousand five hundred yuan.

If you think about 3,500 yuan to buy a mirror in modern times, it is also a luxury.

And this is just the cost, Xia Langzhong gasped, forced himself to calm down and asked, "So what is the price?" ”

"Do you think the price is appropriate?" Tang Ping threw the question back.

Now the output of this glass workshop cannot go up, and the output of mercury is not high in this era.

So for the time being, it is unlikely that a large number of mirrors will be produced, and this thing can only enter the high-end market as a luxury item.

"I think you have to sell consistently, right?" An official said that he felt that such a mirror, whether it was a profit of 500 yuan or a consistent price, was already very high.

"I think it's a little bit less!" Another official disagreed: "If the production of such a good thing is small, it will not be a problem to sell it three times." ”

Several officials began to discuss, and some of them were in favor of selling consistently, and some were in favor of selling a little more expensive, but the most did not exceed five times.

In the end, he couldn't come to a conclusion, so he still looked at Tang Ping, and Tang Ping looked at Wang Qingluan on the side.

Wang Qingluan smiled confidently: "Such a mirror, give it to me ten times, I will receive as much as I want!" ”

This is not an exaggeration, she says this because she knows the limits of the glass workshop's output.

And such an output is reproduced into a mirror, and it is absolutely digestible for her to bring back to Dongyue.

Besides, although this mirror is not a consumable, it can't stand it and can't resist it, it may be damaged if you are not careful, and once it is damaged, you can only buy a new one.

It's just that Wang Qingluan's opening made the officials of the Ministry of Industry below stunned.

Ten times, such a palm-sized thing, want ten times?

As a result, their shock was not over, Wang Qingluan continued: "If the largest kind of glass is made of mirrors, I am confident that it will sell for more than 30 times." ”

At this moment, these officials all came up with the idea that this is not a trap.

Later, when I thought about my financial ability, I couldn't help but feel a little comforted, fortunately, at least such things don't pit the poor.

I have to say that Wang Qingluan is very business-minded, and she is completely a luxury.

Then the careful Xia Lang also found that there was a small red letter on the top of the glass of the mirror.

"What is this?" Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, he realized that it was a small engraved Luan character, and then filled in red paint.

"That's the brand I was talking about yesterday."

Tang Ping gently touched the word Luan with his thumb: "In the future, every mirror produced here will have such a word, although now there is only this one workshop that can make glass, but in case there are other workshops in the future that have also learned such a technique, but only those with Luan characters are produced by this workshop." ”

"Once everyone accepts the premise that only mirrors with the word Luan are high-quality and the best mirrors, then even if there are competitors in the future, we can still have a brand advantage."

Although this was said in a mysterious way, Duan Lun understood it at once.

The old man smiled proudly and said: "The old man understands, it turns out that there is often an old king at the door of the old man's house to sell cooking cakes, and he has been selling them for more than 20 years, but then slowly some people also come to sell cooking cakes, but those people's cooking cakes are not as delicious as Lao Wang." So Lao Wang's cooking cakes are like a brand, everyone only recognizes his brand and only buys the cooking cakes he sells! ”

Although this is a bit rough, the truth is absolutely correct, so Tang Ping gave Duan Lun a thumbs up.

For the production of the mirror, Tang Ping did not keep it secret, as long as you don't have the glass underneath, then no matter how proficient you are in this technology, it will have no effect.

And if the more complex glass-making process can't be preserved, then the mirror-making process will have nothing to keep secret.

The person in charge quickly called two dexterous workers, asked them to put on protective clothing, and did what Tang Ping had just done.

Although it was the first time for the two of them to do it, this thing was really not too difficult, and after a while, two mirrors appeared in front of everyone.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you in the future, you must pay attention to safety, we don't have to rush to produce this thing, so at any time

It's safety first, got it? ”

"Yes!" The steward knew the relationship between Tang Ping and Wang Qingluan, so even if it was Tang Ping's words, he had always done it respectfully.

"Mercury must be stored carefully and taken care of! Remember not to flow into waterways and soil, and if you do, report it immediately, understand? ”

You have to be careful, it's not a child's play. It is precisely because mercury is too toxic, once it flows into the water source, the hidden danger is great, so Tang Ping has no intention of expanding the glass workshop, just such a workshop is the most convenient to control.

Anyway, taking the luxury route, there is no need to transition the pursuit of output.

"Also, this job can be done by workers in shifts, and those who do this work can be paid more."

Tang Ping continued, he didn't know if his protection would be harmful to workers if it was done for a long time, but the output of this mirror was not high, and if it was done in shifts, even if there was harm, the harm could be minimized.

Speaking of which, this is also considered harmful work, and the high point of the salary is considered normal, not to mention that such protective clothing is nothing in winter, but it will heat people to death in summer.

The steward carefully wrote them down one by one.

The matter here is settled, and those officials of the Ministry of Industry are more interested in what Tang Ping will do next.

After all, that thing is a partnership between the Ministry of Industry and Tang Ping, and everyone can share some profits from it.

It has not been fully used here, and there are still a lot of empty workshops, and the Ministry of Industry does not need to report an empty workshop.

So they came to an empty workshop next to it, and Lao Cui and Lao Du were already waiting here with a lot of things.

Seeing Tang Ping coming, he came out with a bang.

These things are basically known by the Ministry of Industry, and the most common one is caustic soda, which was used in construction in ancient times, so they basically knew it.

And then the rest is writing molds and stuff like that, and there's a big jar that I don't know what's in it.

Tang Ping opened a large box, took out an apron, gloves and mask from it, and then looked at the other officials of the Ministry of Industry: "Hurry up, put on the guys, you should know this caustic soda, it is corrosive!" ”
