Chapter 139: Glass Beads!
"Great Qin God of War!?"
"County Magistrate Zhao, on the way back just now, I kept listening to you chanting this!"
"I don't know who this Great Qin God of War in County Magistrate Zhao's mouth is talking about?"
Perfect for a court.
Although it started with the deterrence of Yingzheng.
But in the end, as Zhao Kai said, Ying Zheng seems to have really forgotten the grievances between the two.
Choose to cooperate well with Guo Kai.
This made Guo Kai very pleased.
However, on the way back, Zhao Kai said that he would take Guo Kai to see some new gadgets in the Qin Kingdom, and those things were very profitable, and Guo Kai was also looking forward to it, but Guo Kai listened to Zhao Kai and said that the Great Qin God of War? !
In this regard, Guo Kai was puzzled.
Because Guo Kai always felt that this Great Qin God of War didn't seem to mean that in the literal sense.
And even Guo Kai has a guess.
guess that this Great Qin God of War is not someone else, but it is he Guo Kai.
But he Guo Kai is the prime minister of Zhao State, how can he become the god of war of Qin State?
However to this question.
Of course, Zhao Kai will not explain.
After all, a certain opinion in later generations believed that in fact, with the strength of Zhao State, there would have been no traitor like Guo Kai.
With the foundation of the Zhao Kingdom left by King Zhao Wuling.
Zhao has been resisting Qin for decades, and there is still a chance for this.
It's a pity that Zhao Guo produced such a Great Qin God of War as Guo Kai.
led to the second strongest country in the world, Zhao State, which finally had to be folded under the iron cavalry of the Qin State.
"Okay......"
"But I always feel like you're talking about me, brother!"
"But the elder brother doesn't know what the elder brother is talking about!"
"That's it, brother doesn't ask!"
Helplessly, Guo Yan finally chose to change the topic, "By the way, brother, just now you said that you want to take your brother to see some new things......"
"What's new!?"
Here, he looked at Guo Kai with a smile.
Zhao Kai shook his head, "Brother, let's look forward to it first!" ”
"Anyway, what you're waiting for will surprise my brother!"
"And with this thing, my brother is sure that my brother will directly become the richest man in the world!"
Laughing and laughing.
Zhao Kai, who wanted to give Guo Kai a date to eat.
This time, I'm also preparing to come to the empty glove white wolf again.
After all, as a traverser and with a little bit of power, it is not too easy to make money, especially Zhao Kai has also been admitted to the civil service, which is called an understanding of encyclopedic knowledge.
……
The words are divided on one side.
Lishan Mountain not far from Xianyang.
When I came here with Guo Kai.
See the sand here.
Guo Kai was also puzzled.
Towards Zhao Kai, he asked, "Brother Zhao, this is what you said about the new thing!?" ”
"But isn't that some sand!?"
"How much money can you make from sand!?"
Looking at the piles of sand in front of him, Guo Kai was really stunned.
However, here, when I saw that the last time I left Xianyang, Zhao Kai instructed Ma Ritian to prepare a business that was almost ready for flow industrialization.
In this regard, Zhao Kai is also quite satisfied.
With Guo Kai, he walked into this strange factory at this moment.
However, when he entered here and felt the scorching temperature here, Guo Kai was even more confused, because Guo Kai found that everything here was based on sand......
But sand is worthless.
This is heaven-breaking, and it only earns a few thousand gold a year.
Think about what kind of character he Guo Kai is, this is the dignified Prime Minister of Zhao Guo, none of the businesses Guo Kai does are less than 50,000 gold, although this sand business is profitable, but Guo Kai is not very interested.
And this side.
Look at Guo Kai's disdainful look.
Zhao Kai smiled, and then walked into the warehouse of the factory here.
took out an egg-sized glass bead from it, returned to Guo Kai's side, and fiddled around with Guo Kai, which made Guo Kai stunned when he saw it......
Because, this bead is the size of an egg?
As a prime minister of Zhao Guo who likes finance, Guo Kai's mansion has the world's treasures, and this kind of thing in Zhao Kai's hand is similar to the glazed jade in the Western Regions......
And the glazed jadeite in the Western Regions is worth a lot of money as a very small thing.
For example, if Zhao Kai took out this glass jadeite, put it on the market today to sell, this one is afraid that it will be sold for 10,000 or 20,000 gold, so is this what Zhao Kai said before? !
At this time.
saw Guo Kai with such a large piece of glass.
That's when interest is finally renewed.
looked at Zhao Kai and asked, "Brother Zhao, is this the good business you are talking about!?" ”
"Could it be that you have a business route to cooperate with the Western Regions here, and you can get glass from the Western Regions, and you can get it, but there is no market, so you want to cooperate with my brother and me to promote the glass business to the world!?"
Hehe......
This kind of business is buying and selling.
Zhao Kai was not interested at all.
Because no matter how you resell and resell, what you make in the end is just a price difference, and it is not a million profits, and the real thing that makes money is a business like diamonds.
It's a fried concept!
It's to be the wind that blows the pigs!
And not pigs that go with this wind!
For example, diamonds, the structure of diamonds is also very simple, but it is just a special carbon, but some Western businessmen have blown up the concept that diamonds are eternal love......
As a matter of fact.
Diamonds are not worth as much as gold.
At present, the Western Regions glass is scarce on the market.
That's the same thing.
At present, the glaze has not been fully introduced into the land of China, and the glaze only exists in the private treasury of these princes and nobles, so the price of glaze is very high, and it is a real luxury.
So.
Later generations of Western merchants were able to tout the diamond as a symbol of love.
Why can't he, Zhao Kai, tout this exquisite glass bead as a symbol of power?!
Compared to those poor single dogs who have to go out of their way to buy a diamond ring, the glass beads are touted as the tears of heaven and a symbol of human power......
This business, that's the real profit.
And, compared to the artificial manufacturing technology of diamonds.
The artificial manufacturing technology of glass is even simpler!
The raw material of artificial diamonds is carbon, while the raw material of glass is sand, which is processed at high temperatures to form a transparent crystal......
Originally, people in ancient times did not know that glass could be made in this way.
Therefore, as a kind of glass, the price of glass is extremely high!
And here, when looking at Guo Kai with a smile, Zhao Kai also said slowly, "Doing the business of buying and selling, this is not my brother's style......"
"What my brother wants to do, is to do the most profitable business in the world!"
"And small businesses like buying and selling, then let those small businessmen do it, after all, the market requires a hundred flowers to bloom, and we can't be a monopoly enterprise, completely monopolize a business, and in this case, this business will not be ...... for long"
Zhao Kai's words.
made Guo Kai a little ignorant.
Because what is Zhao Kai going to do?
This glass business is just to find a way to get it from the Western Regions, and then sell it to the dignitaries of the seven countries of the world, and this kind of money is actually very profitable......
Because glass is a luxury.
At present, the supply and demand relationship of glass is very tight.
So after a simple conversion at this moment, Guo Kai roughly calculated the current glass market in the world, which is definitely no less than one million gold, and no one in the world has officially done a large number of glass business.
Because in addition to the state of Zhao and the state of Qin.
There were very few people who had contact with the countries of the Western Regions.
As a luxury product, glaze is only spread in western countries such as Zhao and Qin, and Guo Kai also heard that the reason why glaze was introduced to Zhao and Qin.
This is still because Goose City took the initiative to cooperate with the Western Regions and sent people to trade in the Western Regions, so in the current world, some rare things from the Western Regions have appeared.
It's just that Zhao Kai sells Guan Zi like this, why in the end?
Guo Kai really doesn't know.
"Brother, don't sell it!"
"Brother, just say it, what is this big business that my brother wants to do!"
"Anyway, my brother can only come up with buying and selling, I don't know what kind of idea you have, brother!"
This way.
When looking at Guo Kai with a smile.
In line with the purpose of implementing the "Three Treatises on the Destruction of Zhao" for the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin, the primary core of this is to capture the heart of Guo Kai of Zhao and make Guo Kai willing to be the great Qin god of war of Qin.
So, although the glass business is very profitable.
But Zhao Kai is still willing to endure the pain and cut his love.
At this moment, it was taking Guo Kai to a boiler room.
After a brief stroll with Guo Kai.
asked Guo Kai, "If you say, brother, I can use these worthless sand to make piles and piles of colored glass, and the production cost of each pound of colored glass does not exceed three yuan, I wonder if my brother thinks this business is a huge profit in the world!?" ”
What?!
You can use this sand to make glass.
And the production cost is low to the limit.
At this time, Guo Kai was completely shocked.
Because Guo Kai is very clear about the glaze market, the current glaze market, a glazed bead as large as Zhao Kai gave is about 20,000 gold, and it is still in short supply.
And take the cost formula given by Zhao Kai.
There is no cost to make such glass!
If you sell it, you can make all the money!
Although the glaze market is a luxury market, and when the glaze pours in, the price of glaze is bound to fall, but if you want to, Zhao Kai's glaze factory has almost no production cost!
So.
Liuli is to make money by selling one.
Even if the price will decrease later.
But if as long as he Guo Kai operates properly!
Then the income that this glass business will bring to Guo Kai is not even just one or two million gold, but seven or eight million, or even tens of millions.
So at this time.
When he looked at Zhao Kai in shock.
Guo Kai also asked with a look of disbelief, "Brother, do you really want to cooperate with Brother and me in this business?!" ”
"My brother was a little shocked......
"Brother, you give my brother a quasi-word, my brother feels a little dreamy!"
Here, looking at the shocked Guo Kai with a smile, holding a few glass beads that were completely cost-free, Zhao Kai nodded, "Of course!" ”
