Chapter 131: The Giant Merchant Returns

"This ...... This is? Shen Rong took the box with both hands, and just opened a small gap, he was immediately blinded by the crystal clear inside.

I saw a palm-sized Buddha statue lying in this delicate brocade box lined with soft silk.

If it's just a Buddha statue, it's nothing, the key is that this Buddha statue is crystal clear, and the whole body is made of glass!

"What a delicate glass Buddha statue!" Shen Sen, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but exclaim.

Shen Rong tried to suppress the tremor in his hand and gently took out the glass Buddha statue. Now that the wind and rain have stopped suddenly, a ray of sunlight breaks through the clouds and is shining on the Buddha statue in Shen Rong's hand. The Buddha statue emitted seven colors of light all over the body, as if the gods and Buddhas had appeared.

"Ahh Shen Rong's old hand shook, and he almost threw the Buddha statue to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Sen's eyes were quick and he grasped the Buddha statue with both hands. The father and son breathed like a sigh for the rest of their lives after two catastrophes.

"Your Highness is the treasure taken out of the palace?" Shen Rong put the Buddha statue back in the box and returned it to Zhu Su respectfully. "Although this thing is very delicate, the things in the palace cannot be used for business."

"The Shen family really doesn't dare to take this risk, and they still hope that the Fifth Highness Haihan ......," Shen Rong said.

"Shen Yuanwai thinks this is the treasure I stole from the palace?" Zhu Su sneered. "This king looks like a loser who steals the family's treasures and sells them? This thing was fired by my Imperial Farm. Shen Yuan, let's see how much this thing can sell? ”

"Fired yourself?" Shen Rong was taken aback. Shen Sen also suddenly thought of something, and asked: "It was recorded in the book that the court of the Song Dynasty could burn glass cups, but there were many variegated colors in them, and they could not be crystal clear. Could it be that Your Highness has mastered a more perfect firing method? ”

Shen Rong was about to reprimand his son for being rude, but Zhu Su had already waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay." Shen Gongzi's guess was right, I did master a more perfect firing method. ”

"It's not glass, I call it glass. Shen Yuanwai thinks that how much is the right price for this thing? ”

"Hmm. Such a crystal jade Buddha, but also its ability to reveal the Buddha's appearance under the sun, if put in the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, five hundred taels must be more than enough...... I don't know how much this thing costs? Shen Rong asked.

"That's the number." Zhu Su stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty taels? Well, even if the cost of freight is removed, this thing can be seven or eight times more profitable. Shen Rong nodded with satisfaction. In that case, the business can be done.

"Ugh. I'm talking about, five taels. Zhu Su scratched his head, he originally wanted to talk about Wuwen, after all, the raw materials for burning glass are some worthless sand, and Wuwen is too much, but thinking about the hard work of those disabled veterans in the glass kiln, their labor costs should also be counted more.

A glass Buddha is more than four taels of labor, which is not excessive.

"Five...... Five taels? "The father and son of the Shen family are almost paralyzed again. A hundredfold benefit! This is business, this is money grabbing!

He Shen Rong has been in business all his life, and he has never seen anything that can be a hundred times more profitable!

"I don't know, what is the output?" Shen Rong asked tremblingly.

"Huh? Yield? Zhu Su thought about it. In a month, I should be able to make forty or fifty statues. ”

"If it weren't for the mold being more troublesome, it could have been done faster."

Glass molds are indeed a troublesome matter, and the steelmaking side has not yet touched the doorway, and there is no suitable alloy glass mold. Lao Zhuang, a veteran of glass-burning, led a few veterans to keep trying, and finally found a mold made of river mud that could barely shape the glass solution.

Although it can only be used for one-time use, it is far less than an alloy mold that can be reused, but it is a huge breakthrough.

"Forty or fifty a month? Can it be faster? ”

Shen Rong's eyes were about to fall. This kind of thing that can be called a rare treasure can really be mass-produced! Moreover, the cost of one is only five taels?

His eyes changed as he looked at Zhu Su. Where is this prince of the Zhu family, he is clearly a good wealth boy!

However, after calming down a little, he still found the problem: "Your Highness, although this thing is cherished, it ...... If there are too many of them, I am afraid they will not be so valuable. ”

"If you want to sell this thing, Lao Yu thinks that it is better not to sell so much at once. If His Highness is not short of money, he will sell this item with some pressure, and the profit will be even more lucrative. ”

Sure enough, he is a businessman who has been in business all his life! I know the truth that rare things are expensive. If this glass Buddha is sold alone, the high price of 500 taels is more than enough. But if forty or fifty statues are sold together, that one can be sold for one hundred taels, which is rare.

In later generations, some people bought back antique vases that were identical to one by one, and deliberately smashed one because of this. Because if one is broken, the other becomes a unique product, but it is more valuable.

"Hey, hey, don't worry about Shen Yuanwai, everything is in the king's calculations." Seeing that there was something outside Shen Yuan, Zhu Su also revealed his plan to buy glass. "You don't have to have a Buddha statue, this statue of Shakya Buddha is there, and the Guanyin statue must not be arranged? Otherwise, how can we know the sincerity of our people in respecting Guanyin? ”

"If you have the statue of Guanyin, you will always need it, right? And the Dizang Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, don't you want to be like it? ”

"Buddhism is over, and Taoism is still available. Sanqing Dao Ancestor, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, which one doesn't need to be like? ”

"If you like it, we can make it bigger, such a big glass Buddha to sit in the hall, the sun shines down, who dares to say that this family is not blessed by the gods?"

It doesn't matter if the immortals have finished carving, now the half of the Three Kingdoms has been spread in Yingtianfu, and when the time comes, take advantage of the east wind of the Three Kingdoms to get a glass statue of Liu Guanzhang, Xiahou Brothers and other generals of the Three Kingdoms. You can also get a Wei Shu Wu series and the Eighteen Road Princes and Dong series. Sell this thing as a collectible figure.

You bought Liu Bei, can you still buy Guan Zhang? bought Guan Zhang, could it be that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were weaker than him? Since you have bought so much, so many ministers in Shu have gathered them all at once, or let the monarchs and ministers of the family be separated from each other, how can you bear it.

After the Three Kingdoms are finished, we can continue to make the Water Margin! After the Water Margin is over, you can also say that Yue Quanchuan, Tianlong Babu, and Condor Heroes are ......

With so many tricks, don't worry about this glass losing its high value.

After listening carefully to what Zhu Su said, the Shen family's father and son were already stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.

After a long time, Shen Rongcai arched his hand to Zhu Su: "...... Your Royal Highness is a great talent, and the old decay has already appreciated it. ”

This Fifth Highness is young, where did he get the twists and turns that only so many black-hearted profiteers have in his stomach?

It's so dark! It's much darker than us! If these five highnesses were born a few years earlier, what would happen to our Shen family.

How can there be Shen Wansan in the world, it has long been changed to Zhu Wansan.

"The glass statue is just one of them." Zhu Su continued to speak without being shocked. "In the hands of this king, there are many big deals. For example, soap that is ten times better than today's pancreas, mellow wine that is full of aroma for ten miles, perfume that is ten times better than today's annatto powder, and charcoal stove that can burn charcoal in winter without being troubled by smoke......"

Every time he said one, the wrinkles on Shen Rong's face jumped. He didn't doubt the authenticity of Zhu Su's words at all, what was impossible to burn that kind of colored glass with five taels of silver. Each of these things is taken out separately, and it is the existence of a wealthy businessman who can achieve it!

"Your Highness!" Before Zhu Su finished speaking, Shen Rong directly interrupted Zhu Su's narration.

"I don't know if Your Highness would like to allow me to serve as a businessman."

"I, the Shen family, am willing to attach His Royal Highness Jiwei and saddle the horse for His Royal Highness King Wu!"
