Chapter Eighty-Six: The Glass Mirror

This year, the destruction of the silk manor must be as follows: most of the silk merchants in Zunyi are bankrupt, although some of them are glad that they can still save their lives, but it undoubtedly does not reflect that the life of the silk merchants in Zunyi this year is difficult. In order to alleviate the dilemma of Zunyi merchants and increase their income, the glass mirror, which was secretly developed in Shi Xianwei, was already in production when Qianxing Commercial Bank set up a new factory in Zunyi.

After many days of understanding and considering the performance of this bandit, Wu Yunlin considered the preliminary distribution of glass mirrors, Wei Qi's Wei family and the silk merchants who participated in quelling the chaos.

Needless to say, with Wei Qi's ingenuity, it can be seen at a glance that this is Wu Yunlin's reward for this bandit or the Wei family, after all, the glass mirror is a god, Wei Qi, who saw the glass mirror for the first time, was shocked, looking at Wei Qi's performance, Wu Yunlin was extremely satisfied, and his confidence was doubled, and then he called Chen Zexi, the representative of the silk trader, in the restaurant, Chen Zexi met Wu Yunlin after arriving at the restaurant, and then carefully sat opposite Wu Yunlin, and his ass only dared to sit on the chair. For fear that one would accidentally anger Wu Yunlin, the killing god.

Looking at Chen Zexi cautiously, Wu Yunlin had already taken out two things with a smile on his face, and said: "Today's wine, Wu invited, Chen Yuanwai, there are two things here, please take a look at Chen Yuanwai." ”

So straight to the point, this is Wu Yunlin's consistent style, Chen Sishang didn't dare to slack off, he was busy taking two things, one is a transparent crystal-like thing, both like glass, but not glass, Chen Sishang couldn't help but say: "What kind of treasure is this?" ”

As he was talking, Chen Sishang picked up another one, and when he looked at it, he was startled by himself inside, this is a mirror, but it is by no means a bronze mirror, but the effect is stronger than the copper mirror, I don't know how many times, a hair on his face can be reflected vividly in the mirror.

"Yike...... This is ......," Chen Sishang looked at Wu Yunlin in astonishment.

He has been selling silk for many years, and he is also a wealthy family, not to mention luxury, but most of them are top-notch, but these two things still make him feel rare.

"Is Chen Yuanwai interested?

This is a small business that Wu is doing now, well, this is called a crystal mirror, what is better than a bronze mirror?

And this, well, this is a crystal window, you see, if this is glued to this door and window, this house is not only sheltered from the wind and rain, but also clean and transparent......"

Although Chen Sishang listened attentively, he was thinking in his heart, things are good things, but he didn't know what Wu Yunlin's idea was.

When Wu Yunlin was almost finished, Chen Sishang couldn't help but say: "Listening to Lord Wu say this, this is really a natural treasure." This is half-true and half-false, in his eyes, it is indeed a good thing, but the other half is a compliment, after all, now Wu Yunlin is the magistrate of Zunyi County and quite promising, although they are all self-proclaimed outsiders on weekdays, and they are quite beautiful in front of people, but in front of the ancient officials, they have always been a ninth-rate industry, a fat pig that was raised, and the ancients said: the county order of the broken family, the prefect of the extinction.

Wu Yunlin smiled, raised the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying, "In this way, Chen Yuanwai also thinks that this crystal is promising?" Has Chen Yuanwai ever thought about getting involved in this business? ”

Listening to Wu Yunlin's words, Chen Sishang couldn't help but show surprise: "This rare thing... I've heard silk merchants along the coast mention that it's very rare to be so big and beautiful... Can these things really be supplied on a large scale? ”

Wu Yunlin didn't rub against him, and said straightforwardly: "Let's put it this way, the glass mirror and similar items I passed must be more beautiful, bigger and cheaper than which ones, for example, such a round mirror, one or two silver, as for this crystal glass, such a big piece, eight dollars of silver, how many goods can Chen Yuan eat?" ”

One or two pieces of silver is such a small piece, this price is already more expensive than the copper mirror, and it is only the purchase price, but compared with the legendary sky-high glass, it can only be regarded as the price of cabbage.

But the problem is that the copper mirror is made of copper after all, and the copper of this era is money, naturally, the effect of this round mirror is much better than the copper mirror, almost lifelike, but can this thing really be sold in large quantities?

Chen Silk Merchant couldn't make up his mind for a while, doing business, especially the business involved was far from his own business, but Chen Silk Merchant should be cautious.

But Wu Yunlin looked at him with a smile, and Chen Sishang suddenly realized that this young Lord Wu was obviously determined to win.

Why? If you don't eat his goods today, tomorrow he will raid your house.

With a thought, Chen Sishang gritted his teeth and said: "Although this thing is the first time I have seen it, it is very rare, but after all, it is ......" Speaking of this, he left a little leeway, and then laughed and continued: "It is difficult for people to be anxious, this is a matter of course, it may as well be so, these two things, I want a thousand yuan each, and I will let people send the silver tomorrow, how about it?" ”

After eating, Chen Zexi returned to Chen's house with a little drunkenness, at this time it was late, although he had already walked and drawn, but he still instructed the housekeeper to invite several major silk merchants in Zunyi County to drink tea in his small hall, while saying: "You Lord Wu asked me to go and provide us with a way to earn more than silk, I don't know if you are interested?"

Everyone else looked at the drunken old ghost Chen in front of them, eager to strangle him on the spot, but they were very eager for a way to get rich, so they could only let Chen Zexi show off.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set off, Chen Zexi clapped his hands, and two twenty-eight girls walked in outside the door, holding glass mirrors and glass window glasses, and then listening to Chen Zexi's explanation, everyone present applauded, saying that transporting these things to the capital and Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will definitely make a lot of money, they try their best to eat all the goods, after all, the crystal mirror is a new thing, just came out, if these people did not use all the manpower and material resources to promote in various places, is it really possible to end up obscure? But now with these dozens of salesmen, it's completely different. ”

Wu Yunlin returned to the glass mirror factory to look at the busy workers and the yield rate of the person in charge of the jaw in front of him, but also relieved, the workshop has smashed a lot of money, the high-temperature furnace is also powerful, more than two hundred craftsmen, although the yield rate is not high now, but a day can also produce a variety of mirrors as many as thousands, if the future is full of work, it is even more productive than porcelain, the price of this crystal is more expensive than porcelain.

But then again, it's a new thing, but it's both beautiful and functional, and it can replace the bronze mirror and paper window.

And the most important thing is actually the problem of low cost, the copper mirror is not only amazing, after all, this thing is made of copper, and copper is a necessity for making money, so in essence, copper is money, the cost is expensive, and if you want to make the copper mirror smooth connoisseur, you must also be carefully polished by the craftsman, time-consuming and laborious, and the crystal mirror, the same craftsman, the same time, the raw materials used are just some sand and stone, and so you polish the copper mirror, here dozens of hundreds of crystal mirrors have also been made.

If the bronze mirror is sold for five dollars of silver with the cost of three coins of silver, then the crystal mirror is sold for one or two pieces of silver with the cost of dozens of copper coins, which is completely a huge profit, as long as it is sold well, it is ten times more than a hundred times the profit.

As for the use of this crystal window, there are so many mansions in the world, but the paper window is used, this thing is not only easy to damage, but also easy to damp, and the most important thing is that the light transmittance is also very poor, what is the window used for? Of course, it is lighting, the use of glass is almost perfect, not only for a large area of lighting, but also for shelter from the wind and rain, and even without maintenance, there is no need to mount paper every three or five times, and the sound insulation effect is not known how many times stronger, and the only drawback is the high price.
