Chapter 115: A Big Business of Millions of Taels of Silver

"Now that you know that I am your uncle, you still dare to stand in front of me and talk to me about business, now the children of the Niu Hulu family are really presumptuous!"

The voice from Meng Yan's mouth suddenly increased, his beard was all open, and an extremely fierce momentum suddenly burst out from his body.

It was the coercion of the superior that emanated after the fusion of power and murderous aura.

“…………”

He Shen didn't speak, just looked at Uncle Mengyan quietly, the spiritual coercion, after coming to him, would disperse on its own, and it could not have any impact on him at all.

“………”…

In the next second, He Shen's body began to exude a fierce killing intent.

The strength of the killing machine made Meng Yan, who originally had steely willpower, fall into a mental trance.

It seems that in an instant, Meng Yan has become a flat boat in the vast ocean, and he may be swallowed by the waves anytime and anywhere.

That kind of despair for no reason, even with Meng Yan, far beyond the iron blood and indifference of ordinary people, began to show signs of collapse.

“…………”

When He Shen withdrew the momentum on his body, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Meng Yan's forehead.

“……………”

Wiping the sweat stains on his forehead, Meng Yan looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, what a powerful young man, so young, the murderous aura on his body is so heavy, it is really terrifying.

It's like his son and grandson, who didn't even dare to kill people with a knife on the battlefield, they were simply abandoned by him.

“…………”

However, even if it is that he admires He Shen very much in his heart, Meng Yan's face is not good-looking.

………

Because, after all, He Shen is just a junior, and he is so unreasonable to his elders, if he can be happy, then it will be hell.

On Heshen's side, regardless of Meng Yan's face, he took out three glass plate samples from his arms.

”…………”

"What are you doing, boy? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? ”

Looking at the inexplicable He Shen, the anger in Meng Yan's words was almost uncontrollable.

Although He Shen's martial arts are very high, and Meng Yan is also very aware of this, this is Mengfu, and it is his Meng Yan's territory.

Those elite soldiers inside and outside the Mengfu are enough to surround and kill any martial arts master in the world, and this naturally includes He Shen.

“…………”

On Heshen's side, in the face of Meng Yan's anger, his face was still as calm as ever.

He said lightly: "Uncle, I think, these things are more convincing for you to take a look at yourself." ”

It's strange to say, after carefully observing these three glass plate samples of different qualities, the anger on Meng Yan's face miraculously gradually disappeared.

………

"I believe that with your old man's knowledge, uncle, you can naturally see that these three things are all glass, but the quality is slightly different."

He Shen looked at Meng Yan, who was uncertain, and said with a smile.

“…………”

"What's going on? What are you holding these three glass plates for the old man? I need an explanation. ”

After carefully inspecting the quality of these three pieces of glass, the burning anger in Meng Yan's heart disappeared all at once.

Meng Yan began to look at He Shen with a new look.

“………”

Chang Bao's eldest son seems to be a little different from ordinary people's abilities, and it's no wonder that he dares to spit out wild words in front of him.

………

"The three glass plate samples you took are very similar to Western glass products, but if you look closely, they are different, which is really strange."

The tone in Meng Yan's words was quite puzzled.

“……………”

"Hehe, these three kinds of glass are made by the craftsmen under my nephew.

"According to the different qualities, I divide them into three types: citrine glass, white jade glass, and crystal glass."

"These three kinds of glass are comparable to Western tribute and foreign glass, but the manufacturing cost is very low."

The most expensive crystal glass side is only three dollars of silver, and the cheapest citrine glass side is only seventy-five copper plates. ”

"The benefits are so great, have you ever thought about it, uncle?"

"Today, although the people of the Qing Dynasty still use porcelain as the main daily necessities, the name and role of Western glass are also passed on by word of mouth among the people."

"However, as a luxury product, the price of Western glass is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to use it at all, so they can only watch it greedily..."

"Uncle, as the patriarch of the main lineage of the Niu Hulu family and the banner master of the red flag, you naturally know the role and value of Western glass."

"But Western glass is a tribute, the quantity is limited, the price is expensive, it is impossible for everyone to use, and even ordinary noble families cannot afford to use this thing."

"However, it will be different from this day onwards, as long as it is widely promoted, these three kinds of cheap glass in my hands, by that time, the silver will roll in like a tide."

Under He Shen's calm narration, mountains of gold and silver gradually appeared in Meng Yan's eyes.

Rao is a treacherous old man with Meng Yan, and he can't help but lose his mind slightly.

“………………”

Meng Yan's pair of tiger eyes suddenly lit up, staring at He Shen, his breathing became slightly short, and a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead oozed out.

"How did you get these qualities of glass?"

Meng Yan's eyes, at this moment, can no longer be separated from the three glass sheets.

Immediately, he asked He Shen eagerly.

“……………”

"Oh, this is the Karakuri recipe my nephew found in an ancient book."

Faced with Meng Yan's question, He Shen took out the nonsense of other people without blushing and his heart beating, and deceived Meng Yan again.

…………

"Who else did you tell these three kinds of glass? Who else knows? ”

Meng Yan's tone faintly revealed an irrepressible excitement.

Looking at Meng Yan with an excited face, He Shen shook his head and said.

"Except for those henchmen of mine, you are the first and only one, uncle, and I have never talked about it to anyone outside since I developed it."

When Meng Yan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

His pair of tiger eyes, his divine light was fierce, and he took a deep look at He Shen, he really couldn't imagine that his cheap little nephew actually had such a good thing that could make a lot of money.

At this moment, Meng Yan was very glad that he didn't turn away this little nephew, otherwise such a good thing, would he be the first to be his turn...

“……………”

Many things in the world are artificially illusory, but because of greed in their hearts, or other reasons, many people self-hypnotize and choose to believe false lies.

For example, now He Shen said to Meng Yan what he said about temptation.

The glass made by Heshen is much easier to use than porcelain in some respects, and the cost is not higher than the cost of porcelain, but at the beginning of sales, the sales must not be very good.

Anything new has to take a long time for the people to accept it.

According to Heshen's estimate, it is difficult to raise sales without half a year to a year, and without sales, even if the cost is low, it will not sell much?

Moreover, although the production cost of fifteen copper plates is very low, He Shen and Meng Yan said that it is seventy-five copper pieces, and the cost price has directly increased fivefold.

He Shen did this, although he could squeeze Meng Yan's interests, eat the benefits of the biggest head, and divide the original fifty-five equally, turning it into his own ninety percent and Meng Yan accounting for less than one percent, but it would also greatly increase the price of glass.

In the Qing Dynasty, a hundred copper plates could be exchanged for one piece of silver, and ten pieces of silver were one or two pieces of silver.

Ten taels of silver is enough to sell an adult man and woman.

If Heshen sells citrine glass for one and a half dollars, although the profit is very high, and he can earn more than ten times the profit, but the price of one and a half dollars of silver is still high for the common people.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a lot of silver, and Heshen is now eating breakfast, and the amount of silver spent is more than that.

Let's put it this way, He Shen hired an ordinary servant, and the cost of a month was several taels of silver.

“…………”

However, how can the daily expenses of the wealthy family be compared with the hard life of the common people, a bowl of porridge and a pickle...

“…………“

To be honest, in the past four years, He Shen has also personally lived in an ordinary farmer's house for a month, which can be regarded as understanding the people's livelihood and suffering.

He is well aware that in this era, the livelihood of ordinary people is difficult.

The people of an ordinary family of three, a month of hard work, are only about three or four dollars of silver.

One and a half dollars of silver is equivalent to half a month's salary of an ordinary family of three, in this case, how many people can afford to buy glass products?

In fact, in this era, even ordinary porcelain is considered a luxury in the eyes of the common people, and it is usually placed in the cabinet, like guarding the treasure.

Of course, there are no less than 40,000 people in this era, but the people who can afford to buy glass can be considered one-fiftieth of them.

Of course, what He Shen said to Meng Yan is not a lie, because even if only one-fifty of the people can afford glass, it is a natural market for tens of millions of people.

………

Meng Yan didn't understand this, and he didn't want to.

He only pays attention to national affairs, and as for the actual situation of ordinary people, it does not belong to the scope of his concern, and he can only rely on his own conjecture to speculate.

To be honest, when it comes to this, it is inevitable to mention the cognitive impairment caused by the different positions and angles occupied.

Cognitive impairment refers to the abnormality of one or more of the cognitive functions of a normal person.

Of course, cognitive impairment is also congenital and acquired.

And what I want to say now is obviously acquired.

“…………”

Just like many people in remote mountainous areas, they will think that the daily life of wealthy families can be so luxurious that they can eat meaty meat dishes every day......

In Meng Yan's view, the lives of ordinary people, no matter how hard they are, at least they can eat a meal of white flour buns every day, right?
