Chapter 31: Lights

One of these two pieces of glass has a little bit of blue, although the brightness has not reached the glass transparency that Ma Hanshan has seen in his previous life, but it should be barely enough to be used as a lampshade, and the other piece looks at the light, except for a few bubbles, there is no variegation, but when it is placed flat, it still has a little bit of green. Mahanshan is called great because he saw this piece of glass, and such transparency can be used as a lampshade.

"If you use this transparent glass to make this product, Boss Abu, can you quote a price?" Ma Hanshan said while holding the bubble glass in one hand and a large kerosene lampshade in the other.

Those who have used kerosene lamps should know that the so-called kerosene lampshade is actually a glass tube with a "astigmatism chamber", and the so-called astigmatism chamber is actually just a large space channel in the horizontal direction of the wick burning. Don't underestimate this so-called "astigmatism room", the brightness of kerosene lamps is not so bright without this lampshade.

"About two hundred wen." Li Abu thought for a moment and said.

"Two hundred wen? Boss Abu, you're not selling things, you're stealing money, this thing doesn't cost more than two pennies. "It's the same for everyone, you always feel that the price is cheap when you sell things, but you always feel that it is very expensive when you buy things.

However, a lampshade is 200 yuan, which is indeed too expensive, so if a large fire lamp, if the oil bottle is also made of glass, wouldn't it cost more than one or two silver? It's too expensive.

Mahanshan's plan, the lamp is not ready to make money, what he wants to make money is oil.

Lamps are sold as cheaply as possible so that everyone can afford them, and when people buy lamps, they will always find a way to buy oil.

If the lamps are unaffordable for ordinary people, then this business cannot be done, just a few rich people buy it, how much can it be sold?

"No way, the sand has to be shipped from my hometown." Li Abu said helplessly.

"You can make things in your hometown and ship them back, who is so stupid to carry sand? Besides, I don't believe that there is no better sand in places as big as Xixia, Donghu and Dasong. Ma Hanshan was very annoyed and stood up and walked around the reception room, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Abu, I want to buy a lot of these things, in the future, every family needs them, just use two for a family, what about tens of millions of households, and people from Donghu, Beimeng and Xixia?" It's a very big business. ”

"However, if the unit price is more than 50 yuan, you don't have to do it. I set a goal, 30 for the large light and 20 for the small light. And this oversized dome, fifty wen. This kind of square slice does not exceed five cents per piece. Ma Hanshan began to draw the flatbread, exhaled and said, "If Mr. Abu can reach this price, each type of clay pot will need two million per year." ”

The total amount must be large, but two million per year is needed, and it must be bragging to say it now, at least in the first year, it is impossible to reach this number, because there is absolutely no way to produce so many lamps.

Each model has two million pieces per year, and this number directly frightened Li Abu, because a glass-burning workshop, even if nothing else is burned, this kind of thing can't be burned so much.

"If I could find the same sand in my hometown, the price wouldn't be that much." Li Abu thought for a moment and said solemnly, "If you use the sand from my hometown, whether it is to transport the sand to burn here, or to burn it in my hometown and then transport the product, this price can't be made, it's too far away, 10,000 miles." ”

"The cost of traveling by land is high, so you can take the waterway. If it is shipped by ship, two million, one ship will be finished. Or, if you bring a boatload of sand, you can burn as much as you want. "Of course, Mahanshan knows that it is too far away, but there is no way to do it now.

"Well, when I go back, I'll figure out a way." Li Abu really wants to make this business happen, if the tile tank village really wants so much, this time it will be developed.

"What do you want, I'll help you think about it, after you go back, contact the royal glass workshop, let someone steal some sand for you, and help me burn a batch first." In addition, you send men and horses to investigate the sand in Xixia, Beimeng, Donghu and Dasong, and at the same time, send people back to your hometown to see if you can transport goods by ship, if not, calculate the cost of land transportation. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you do it, I promise to ask you for so many goods every year, if you are worried that we don't want it, I can pay some deposit to order a batch with you first. In this way, the small light will be ordered 500,000 yuan, the large light will be ordered 300,000 yuan, the super large cover will be ordered 50,000 yuan, and the square piece will be ordered 150,000 yuan. Ma Hanshan glanced at Yu Tianchuan and said, "Manager Yu will go back and calculate how much, write a contract with Mr. Abu, and then pay him a deposit of 10% in advance." ”

Li Abu and Yu Tianchuan were stunned, the owner of Ma Zhai is really a young hero, he casually placed an order for hundreds of thousands of lights, and also paid a deposit in advance, and the sample has not been confirmed yet.

"Oh, come to think of it, the big oil bottle will make 100,000 first, and the small oil bottle will make 200,000 first. And these thumb-sized bottles, Boss Abu, make tens of thousands of them for me. By the way, let's quote first. Ma Hanshan put the base oil bottle and the small oil bottle of the large oil lamp, as well as several small bottles of perfume and medicinal oil on the table.

"These are worthless, penny things. The main thing is that these lights are through, and the price really can't be done. Li Abu stared at the model on the table, wondering if there was really a way to eat the purchase of the clay pot village.

"Didn't I think of a way for you? Let's find someone to help you steal the sand and make a batch for me, the cost of stealing is not much money. Ma Hanshan said with a smile.

"Why would someone else steal from me? They are not stupid, and even if they steal it, they still have to pay for it. "The big food merchant is famously shrewd, and of course he can't be easily fooled by Ma Hanshan.

"Okay, tomorrow you can go back to Xixia immediately, and see what the stolen sand can be made at what price. If it is not doubled, you can do it according to the quantity, if it is more than doubled, then look at the specific amount and then determine the quantity. In a word, I have to do these products, and if you can't help it, I'll think of something else. Ma Hanshan said firmly.

"Okay, I'll rush back tomorrow, as for the contract or something, let's go back and sign it......." Li Abu is an honest man, he is afraid that he will be too sorry if he signs the contract and takes the deposit, and he can't do it back.

"It's up to you, however, I won't sit here and wait for you, if you don't sign, I'll find other ways, if I solve these problems before you, you will only have half of the order in the future." Of course, Ma Hanshan will not say that there is no order, so Li Abu will definitely have no motivation.

"Uh... Understand... Understand....... Li Abu was stunned and said.

"However, if you solve the problem before we do other ways, we will sign an exclusive contract with you, and I will cover all your production capacity." What Mahanshan has to do is more than just a few bottles and cans.

"Thank you......."

The next day, Li Abu hurried back to Xixia, and Ma Hanshan then quietly sent Qi Nanyue and asked him to contact the glass workshop run by the royal family in Xixia to see if he could bribe the director of the workshop and let him burn a batch of lanterns in private. Or, buy some sand or broken glass from him, Ma Hanshan remembers that broken glass can be refired in the furnace.

……

Three sets of new steamer accessories are back, and Ma Hanshan ordered Liu Heizai to install them one day and one night, and test the device one day. So in such a hurry, because of the first batch of Li Zhuoshui brewed in the tile pot village, the distiller's lees of 5,000 catties of grain are about to mature.

When the lees are ripe, they must be steamed in a pot, and the yield is low in the early and low in the late, so this time must be mastered.

Liu Guisan's forging and casting plant has also officially started, the first batch of products, of course, is steaming equipment, Ma Hanshan's requirements, even if their own production is more expensive than the outside order, their own forging and casting factory must also master this set of technology.

If you can't do it yourself, it's easy to get stuck by others.

He thinks this way because he has seen too many of this kind of things in his previous life, the Japanese and the whites are very bad, and the complete sets of equipment sold are not expensive, but when the equipment is to be repaired, the cost of maintenance is sky-high, he once repaired a so-called imported luxury car, fuck, a small accessory costs tens of thousands of yuan, and it will take three months. There's no way, there are no imitations in China, so I can only swallow my anger and buy it.

If you can't make a steamer yourself, you have to change a pipe or something one day, and others want a sky-high price, wouldn't you be angry with yourself.

Liu Heizai is still quite capable, the steamer was installed on time, and passed the test at one time.

When the wine came out, Ma Hanshan immediately found that the drunken immortal wine steamed with sake lees was more fragrant than the drunken immortal wine steamed with fruit wine.

After steaming a pot in two hours, the output is four catties of grain and only one catty of wine, which is not ideal.

However, with this output, Mahanshan is also happy to blossom, a stone of brown rice is only 600 wen, and 30 catties of wine is 60 taels of silver, what is this concept? Is there a more lucrative business?

"Ah Niu, go and explain to the room, I'll cook a table of good dishes tonight, and I'm going to invite Muddy Water and Black Boy to dinner." Ma Hanshan tried a sip of the newly brewed immortal wine and said with a smile.

"Teacher, you don't have to break the bank, this is what a disciple should do." When he saw that the sake lees he brewed by himself had turned into drunken immortal wine, Li Zhuoshui trembled with excitement, Master's set of steaming equipment was really magical, how could the wine be steamed so clean, transparent and crystalline.

"It's one thing to do it, it's one thing to do it well or not. The rules of science, learn well, do well, have prizes, do not learn well, do not do well, you will be punished. Therefore, muddy water, don't be complacent, and learn from it with an open mind. "A big kid is preaching to an uncle in an old-fashioned manner with his hands behind his back, no matter how you look at it, it's weird.

"Yes, follow Master's teachings." Li Xunshui didn't feel weird at all, and bowed very sincerely to be taught.

For more than half a month in Wagang Village, whether it is the new things here or the spiritual outlook of the people living here, he has never seen it. And all this is because of him, the eldest child, Master. Therefore, he has long admired Ma Hanshan so much, and he really respects this master teacher very much.
