Chapter 701: Cutting IQ Tax

"Look at the point, like this official, blow up the whole softened glass bubble!"

"My lord, let the lower officials try."

Cai Jing was eager to try on the sidelines, and the main reason why he was so active was that this thing was too subversive of his cognition. He even believes that as long as this thing is exposed to the outside, every single one of them is sky-high.

Of course, to catch up with the good times.

What is a good time?

It's just that he just came out, and no one else has such a beautiful thing in his hands, and he sometimes. Scarcity is expensive, and any thing can be sold for thousands of dollars?

The material is comparable to crystal, and even the transparency is much better than crystal. This kind of treasure, any magnate in the capital is in his hands, and he is not allowed to feast the guests and have a treasure appreciation meeting? Let the rich and powerful who do not have such treasures in their hands see, my lord's treasure! Jealousy goes!

Cai Jing greedily looked at the utensils that were constantly forming under Li Kui's fiddling. Thinking that as long as he stole a few, wouldn't his debt be paid off?

What's more, Cai Jing seems to be quite relaxed when he looks at Li Kui. The glass bubble was still soft, and after blowing it up with an iron pipe, Li Kui wanted to fiddle with it, so he fiddled with it like this, put it in the mold, and soon a vase was blown out.

Cai Jing started the seven-foot-long iron pipe, and suddenly he couldn't lift it up when he started to sink into the ground. But as soon as he thought of the thousands of treasures he was holding in his hands, his legs and feet suddenly gained strength. In particular, Cai Jing understands that the glass bubble in his hand is so low that people can't believe it, at most two or three hundred yuan. This thing is simply faster than robbery, how can he be willing to let the glass bubble in his hand become waste?

Woowoo woo –

Cai Jing was embarrassed to find that the glass bubble of the iron pipe did not show the slightest sign of expansion.

Isn't that bullying?

Why can't Li Kui blow it?

Cai Jing, who did not believe in evil, increased his strength. After exerting force, the whole back seemed to be arched, like a competing old dog, the eyes were round and convex, as if they were about to pop out of the eye sockets, and others were afraid that the old thief would not stir it up in one breath, so he stretched out his legs-

Before anyone could persuade him, Cai Jing himself couldn't do it, he took a few steps back, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the hot glass bubble almost hit his feet, and his son-in-law Liang Shijie hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back and rubbed his chest, which made the old thief come over. Unexpectedly, as soon as Cai Jing was able to take a breath smoothly, he turned his head to look at Li Kui, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "The bureau is mighty!" ”

It turned out that Li Kui blew out a large glass bubble in one go, and after rolling around in the mold, a spherical bottle with a regular shape appeared.

Li Kui doesn't care, this kind of glassware may not be able to be sold for ten yuan in the future. In exchange for the money of the Great Song Dynasty, there are only a few big sons.

But in Cai Jing's eyes, this is a treasure worth a thousand times.

If it is sold to the right person, the treasury of the Military Command Bureau will not be able to put it down. The point is that this thing is actually made of the hardest stone in the riverbed, who can believe it?

Li Kui was not proud, he was a person who practiced martial arts, and his martial arts were still in a state of supernatural beauty, and his breath was as continuous as a rainbow. With Cai Jing's kind of goods, he dared to argue with him. Isn't this looking for death?

He also understood why Cai Jing scolded him so shamelessly, isn't it just money!

Li Kui naturally didn't have the intention of swallowing it alone. The iron pipe was given to the person next to him. Speaking of which, the iron pipe in his hand is really expensive. Produced by Master Lu, the steward of the iron-smelting workshop, some places are not too breath-tight, and the coppersmith is also used to fill the leaks. It looks like it's black and gold, and it's weird. However, Da Song couldn't make a seamless steel pipe, even if it was welded, it was found somewhere.

The iron pipe in Li Kui's hand costs 80 yuan, but it is the most valuable tool in the glass workshop.

Li Kui instructed the craftsman: "According to my method, you try to do it." It doesn't matter if it's broken, the glass can still be used if it's broken and burned. The key is that the shape of this thing should be varied. Vases and the like are difficult to make, so don't rush them yet. You can start by pressing some tea cups and other gadgets with a mold. ”

"It's my lord!"

"The craftsmen present today, everyone sent two times. The ingredients and secret recipes are only known to a few of us, and whoever passes them on should know the results. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, everyone in the workshop will have to live in the workshop from today onwards, and no one is allowed to go out."

"I also have a charter. Make a horse out of the goods, let the high-ranking officials and rich people in the capital take a look, and we must let them see our treasure, and after a glance, the kind that can't pull out their eyeballs. ”

After Li Kui finished speaking, he said to Cai Jing: "Yuan Chang, let's discuss how to sell it!" ”

Cai Jing, who was still half-dead before, rolled up from the ground and ran to Li Kui, an old face blooming in front of Li Kui like a chrysanthemum.

"Go to the official residence. Sitting, pleaseβ€”"

Accustomed to Cai Jing's flattery, Li Kui also accepted it calmly. Walking ahead, Cai Jing was like an old dog beside Li Kui, running happily beside Li Kui.

After sitting down, Liang Shijie cooked tea, and Cai Jing waited for Li Kui to speak.

After taking a sip of hot tea, a warm feeling rose from the stomach. To be honest, Li Kui couldn't get used to the tea soup of the Great Song Dynasty at first. The main reason is that there are too many condiments, so that Li Kui, who is used to drinking roasted tea, can't bear it. But the strange thing is that since he went to Qingtang, he magically felt that the tea soup had an endless aftertaste, and he was simply the culmination of all the flavors of life.

When Li Kui put the teacup away, he glanced down at the teacup, and after condensing his gaze, he asked Cai Jing: "Yuanchang, the glass can be made now." The skills of the craftsmen will soon be developed, and when a large number of goods are made, if they are not sold, the bureau's treasury will probably be empty. ”

Cai Jing smiled bitterly: "The bureau seat is already empty." ”

Li Kui trusted Cai Jing in the money of the Military Unification Bureau before, and let Zhang delegate it. But Zhang Sanye is not in charge of money at all, and he can't even tell how much money he has.

As a last resort, Cai Jing, who had been in charge of the Great Song Dynasty, could only manage the treasury of the Military Unification Bureau.

"Forget it, you and I have worked hard these days, and when the first batch of goods is made, there should be no shortage of money." Li Kui didn't care, and turned to Cai Jing and said, "Yuan Chang, I came to you to ask, what is better for our first batch of goods?" ”

"Bureau, what do you think of the teacup?"

Cai Jing is a clever person, and he can see at a glance that Li Kui looked down at the tea cup thoughtfully. But Li Kui shook his head and said, "Little Wu, go get a few finished glass cups." Go get some ice in addition. ”

After a while, Ruan Xiaowu brought the glass cup and put it in front of Li Kui.

Li Kui stirred the glass cup with ice water and said to Liang Shijie: "Pour hot tea into it." ”

There was a bang, and when the hot tea was poured into the ice-cooled glass cup, the tea cup was split in half. Cai Jing's face turned green in distress, just the tea cup that Li Kui tested just now, if he took it out, if he couldn't sell it for a thousand yuan in the capital, he dared to screw off his head and kick it as a ball. This is simply a simple grip in hand, but it has caused Li Kui to be harmed.

After Li Kui let the broken teacup be cleaned up, he said to Cai Jing: "Yuan Chang, the teacup must often bear boiling tea, and when the weather is cold, it will crack." Now that the weather is hot, the tea cup will not break under normal circumstances. But what about winter, we can't sell it at this time, and in winter, the sellers line up to trouble us, right? ”

"Dare to ask the bureau, how many craftsmen are you going to let make utensils in our workshop?"

Cai Jingwan smiled and asked Li Kui.

Li Kui pondered that he couldn't do more, he still wanted pure transparent glass. This kind of tinted glass such as teacups is nothing more than a stopgap measure. He spoke, "Arrange a maximum of forty craftsmen." Doing thousands a day shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Bureau, look at the lower officials, just make a tea cup like a glass cup. Lotus petals, chrysanthemum-shaped, begonia flowers, all kinds of styles can be made into molds. Let's sell small items like tea cups first, and when the time comes, we can sell treasures such as vases with higher value. ”

Cai Jing said confidently: "It's cold in winter, even if there are sellers who break a few in winter, won't we replace them with new ones when the time comes?" ”

"What do you mean?" Li Kui suddenly came to nature.

Cai Jing's business talent is definitely not worse than him, mainly because Cai Jing lacks Li Kui's knowledge, and he can't make novel things that attract people's attention. Let people obediently take out the gold and silver in the money bag.

When it comes to specific operations, Cai Jing's methods are no worse than Li Kui's. Even in Da Song, he is also a top wizard.

I saw Cai Jing leaning in and whispered: "Bureau, are you ready to make a long stream, or make a wave of quick money." ”

"Yuan Chang, you can see it too. To put it bluntly, this technique is very simple. The production is also very large. At the beginning, you can reap a thousand times the profit, and then I am afraid it will be difficult to continue. It's better to sell for a while, and then let the merchant come in and bid for the distribution rights. Li Kui directly told Cai Jing what he was thinking.

Cai Jing had already seen Li Kui's thoughts, and the output was so large. The business philosophy of odd goods can be abandoned. Thinking of this, Cai Jing had a bottom in his heart. There were a lot of rich people in the Great Song Dynasty, so they first supplied these rich people, the families of the eunuchs, and the families of the merchants, and earned the money first. Then let the ordinary middle-class people buy it.

This requires a time difference.

The distribution of goods should be stable and accurate, and the start should be fast.

As for the follow-up operation, according to Cai Jing's understanding of Li Kui, Li Kui couldn't bear to do this business at all. Previously, Li Kui was very dissatisfied with the creation of such colored glass.

Obviously, the workshop made such a variegated glass did not meet Li Kui's expectations at all. In the future, the trade will have to be like a briquette, and the merchant will have to come in.

In this case, Cai Jing's eyes showed a fierce light, and he thought that cutting the leeks of the powerful people of the Great Song Dynasty had no psychological pressure.

Not only to cut, but also to cut a wave of ruthless.

The idea is fine for businessmen. Businessmen are profit-oriented, mercenary. But the person who presided over this leek cutting operation is afraid that he will offend the officialdom of the entire Great Song Dynasty and all the powerful people. After all, rich people will have some power. Even if it is a wealthy businessman, there are big families behind it, and even the royal family as backers.

Money is easy to earn.

But if in the summer, the glass bowl becomes one for a thousand, and in the autumn it becomes one for a hundred, and in the winter, it sells for ten pieces of money......

The mentality of the Great Song Dynasty will collapse!

Li Kui hesitated: "If this business is suppressed to the extent that ordinary people can afford it within a year, it will be hated." In this way, give the merchant a little more benefit. The key is that this glass cup is not snowflake salt. Snowflake salt is eaten every day, the price is a little more expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it. At most, buy a jar of snowflake salt for the faΓ§ade. However, if you use the glass cup carefully, it will not be bad in ten or eight years, and even the first batch of people to buy it will probably have the intention of taking this thing as an heirloom. ”

"Once they reach autumn, there is no hope for the heirloom, and they find that this thing can only be used as a funeral vessel at most; In winter, this thing is only enough for ordinary people to accompany the funeral. Isn't it to be the enemy of the world? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy for this person to survive in the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Li Kui said worriedly: "Yuan Chang, you said that we should find a person with colored eyes." There are also in the capital, as long as it is controlled behind the back, it is no big problem to make him obedient. ”

"How many benefits are you going to give to the merchants?"

Cai Jing secretly regretted that he wanted to do this business, but he had concerns. is the same as Li Kui thought, cutting the IQ tax, so that people don't know. But he will show up after half a year, and he is afraid of becoming the target of public criticism. This is simply the enemy of the world. Less money, not worth it. This is more hateful than selling your life.

Li Kui hesitated and said, "Yicheng." Three months is the deadline, and after three months, let the merchant bid, and we will not do this transaction. ”

Cai Jing exclaimed: "One percent of the price? ”

Li Kui nodded as a matter of course: "This is natural. If you want to reap enough profits at one time, you must have four capitals, and Jingzhao Mansion will forget it, and there are few rich people. Kaifeng Mansion, Henan Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Daimyo Mansion, in addition to the rich Jiangnan, Jiangning Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion are also counted. Where the city is located, Hangzhou and Quanzhou, it can be sold to maritime merchants. I estimate that if I am lucky, there is still hope for a bigger 10 million. The key is that these places should be distributed and sold at the same time. It looks like a lot of money for a businessman, but it's a lot of money. How can it be done if it is less? ”

"Ten million?" Cai Jing was like a rooster choked by the throat, screaming at death.

Li Kui waved his hand and said: "One percent is only one million." But the chief, the bureau's accounts can't be counted like this, and only half of the accounts are left. That is, fifty percent of the accounts of the Military Command Bureau, and the other official is the inventor, so it's not too much to ask for two percent of the dividends, right? ”

"My lord, you should take half of it." Cai Jingba stammered. Cai Jing said this from the bottom of his heart, if Li Kui secretly did it at home, there would be no matter of the Military Unification Bureau at all. When the time comes, all the benefits will belong to Li Kui alone, and their subordinates will not even have a chance to get a piece of the pie.

Li Kui said with a smile: "No more, the official will be 20%." This is the rule of the Military Command Bureau, one percent is a patent, and the other is research and development. If the official didn't pierce this window paper, I'm afraid that no matter how good a craftsman is, he won't be able to make this glassware. The other profit is given to the merchants, the workshop and the officials in our bureau, and the other is used as our small treasury. ”

An achievement is a million.

Cai Jing has no opinion on other allocations. Li Kui wants to take away 20%, which is a matter of course for him. If there is no Li Kui in the glass cup, how can the Great Song Dynasty have such a delicate treasure? But, to the people of color, isn't this in vain?

Immediately lay on the ground, and said to Li Kui with a resolute face: "Bureau, the people with color eyes are the most untrustworthy and unrighteous, don't do it!" ”

"However, don't let the people of the color eyes do it, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty have families behind them, do you think we can keep the secret? And if you really do this business and offend countless powerful people in the world, this is life money. Li Kui said helplessly. Especially to wipe out all the rich people in the Great Song Dynasty, this is too frustrating. In the end, it only takes half a year to make the owners understand that they are fools. Such a stupid thing that ridicules the brains of human rights nobles is something that even lawless people like Li Kui dare not do.

Cai Jing lay on the ground, two lines of tears fell on his wrinkled face, and said excitedly: "Since Xia Guan entered the Military Command Bureau, he has not made an inch. Bureau, let this offend the people of the world let the lower officials do it. ”

"But ......," Li Kui's face seemed a little unbearable.

But Cai Jing knelt on the ground and said resolutely: "Cai Jing is the seat of the bureau, even if he is cut by a thousand knives, he will not hesitate to do it." How much more is it to be the enemy of the unrighteous people in the world? The lower officials dare to die for the bureau! ”

Li Kui patted Cai Jing's shoulder compassionately, but he smiled in his heart. As long as Cai Jing dares to be the enemy of the world's magnates, then this guy can only follow his own path to the dark, and he can be used as a confidant in the future.

And what about Cai Jing?

For a million times, kneel.

Who to look down on?

The key is to get down on your knees and feel comfortable on your knees.

It's the enemy of the world, what are you afraid of? The Military Command Bureau is not a dry meal, and when the time comes, he will not believe that Li Kui will not reach out and pull him. For a million yuan, he can not even want his life, what are you afraid of?

I've seen people who love money, but I've never seen people who love money so much. Li Kui couldn't help sighing: "Yuan Chang, since you have made up your mind, this official is not an unreasonable person. Give you half of the more, from the official's bonus. ”

"The bureau is reinventing the favor of the lower officials!" As Cai Jing spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably. As soon as his heart softened, Li Kui sent out another 500,000 yuan, and Cai Jing was sure that Li Kui loved him.

A month later.

The most defeated magnate in the capital, the eldest princess and the princess Wang Xu, held a treasure appraisal meeting in the mansion and invited the royal family in Beijing to participate. At the dinner that day, four glass cups with a total price of 10,000 yuan made the guests jealous of Wang Shu and wanted to beat up this old guy who laughed with a tiger's breath.
