After talking to Mi Zhu about the cooperation framework between sea boat improvement and sea horse traffickers, Li Su finally took out his silver mirror, hoping to give Mi Zhu a little more hope and squeeze out more money before leaving.

"Mr. Mi, since we have such a pleasant cooperation, Su has another treasure, please see." Li Su said, handing out a silver mirror wrapped in thick silk fabric like corduroy.

"Oh? I don't know what it is. Sir is so serious, I think it's a big fan." Mi Zhu also took it solemnly and carefully untied it with enough face.

After only one look, his eyes immediately became a little straight.

That scene is like a person who is used to watching a selfie of 300,000 pixels in front of 2006, who suddenly gives him a selfie of 8 million pixels ten years later.

How many times the resolution is this?

"Can the silver mirror be so clear? I just don't know what kind of process it takes to be so clear, and how long it can last?" Mi Zhu first lost his mind and sighed for a moment, and then immediately thought of the issues of cost and durability.

Li Su looked around and had to sigh that "Businessmen are just calm."

If this is given to any noble lady or concubine princess, how could I think of paying attention to the cost so quickly? I must be concerned about the effect of use first.

"I have a little knowledge of the method of grinding this object. If Mr. Mi is interested, he can cooperate for a long time in the future. As for durability, there is no need to worry about it. After polishing this mirror, as long as it is stored properly, it can last for at least three months before it will turn slightly black.

That is, it is at least three times more durable than ordinary silver mirrors. And the amount of wear required for each re-grinding is much smaller. A piece of silver surface can be ground at least five times. This mirror can be worn thirty times and used for ten years."

Mi Zhu knew in his heart that a normal silver mirror could be polished at most ten times, and it would be used for about a year. If what Li Su said was true, then this new silver mirror would definitely be very popular among the nobles.

However, he couldn't believe Li Su's promise of durability, and he had to observe it for at least ten days and half a month - because the ordinary silver mirror, no matter how well it is protected, it will be completely dark in more than a month, and a certain degree of darkness can be seen in half a month.

Therefore, if there is no obvious trend of graying in this silver mirror after half a month, it will probably prove that Li Su’s commitment to durability is true.

Only Li Su himself knew in his heart that the reason why his silver mirror is durable and delicate grinding is only one aspect, the key is to apply a layer of completely transparent antioxidant phytic acid oil.

Grinding is finer and cannot resist oxidation by itself. However, after applying oil, the smoother the mirror surface area, the smaller the surface area, and the more it can reduce the volatility of lubricating oil. The key to anti-oxidation is this layer of oil.

Mi Zhu is also a very flexible business mind. He also felt that the mirror was slightly slippery when it touched. He even keenly leaned over his nose and sniffed it. He smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, but he didn't take it to his heart. He thought that Li Su added fragrance just to cooperate with the noble lady.

In fact, this spice is of course Li Su's smoke bomb. The spice itself has no effect, just to cover up the ingredients and purpose of anti-rust oil.

The confidentiality work is done so solidly, even if Mi Zhu investigates it, he will not find out anything in a while.

With Mi Zhu's sense of responsibility, he knows that the risks are high and the benefits are small. He may make a quick investigation and make a relationship that is difficult to make friends with, and he will most likely give up temporarily.

What's more, Li Su has the last trick to insurance: he didn't buy quicklime at all this time, so it's impossible to find out his core competitiveness.

"How do you want to cooperate with this Silver Mirror business?" After weighing the pros and cons, Mi Zhu decided to put away his covetousness first and wait and see for the time being.

Why bother looking too ugly from the beginning? As long as Li Su can get good goods, even if the profits of the first and second batches are all given to Li Su, it will be no big deal.

The Mi Zhu family has great business and can afford it. They just want to be stable first.

Li Su didn't go around with Mi Zhu: "Mi Gong thought, how much can such a mirror be sold?"

Mi Zhu thought for a while: "The traditional silver mirror is only more than twenty cents. Including the repeated polishing of silversmiths over the past year, the labor costs and other expenses are considered to be thirty cents a year. If this mirror is durable as the teacher said, even if it is sold for 100 cents, it can be sold.

But after the unit price is expensive, ordinary officials and merchants can't afford it. In my opinion, even if you can get the goods all over the world, it can only afford it for more than ten wealthy households in each county, and the whole world is only a few thousand yuan. Although the gentleman has treasures, he has no connections, so he may not sell much. Unless it is a place where wealthy households in the world gather in the capital, he can sell hundreds of them in one city."

In other words, because it is too high-end, although the unit price of each piece can make tens of thousands of yuan, and the single profit is higher than that of horse sales, the total market capacity is too small.

The high-end silver mirror market in the world is a cake worth hundreds of millions of yuan. You can’t make it without channels.

Even if Mi Zhu has sufficient supply, he can make 100 million yuan by eating it and eating it.

Li Su knew that this business was long-lasting, so he was not in a hurry, so he proposed a compromise: "Since that's the case, I have a suggestion. Let's stay with Mr. Mi to play with him for a month. Please lend me more than 10 million. This time I go to Danyang, and the more money I have, the better.

After one month, I will return from Danyang. If Mr. Mi decides to cooperate with me, I will supply Mr. Mi. I will draw 20,000 yuan for this kind of silver mirror, and then I will slowly deduct the tens of millions of miles I borrowed before that time. How about it?"

Mi Zhu thought for a while: "Okay, then I'll talk about it in detail then."

One more month of buffering period, just observe the quality of the new mirror before deciding.

As for borrowing 10 million to Li Su at present, Mi Zhu felt that the risk was not great. The scale of cooperation between the two parties was at this level. The previous dealers had a good deal, so the other party did not need to break up the face and destroy the long-term relationship for this loan.

"Then I'll say that. In a month, I will return from Danyang. At that time, Mr. Mi will prepare enough sand boats and sailors, at least enough to transport 5,000 people. At that time, we will set out from Guangling Port and take the sea route north to transport Danyang troops to Zhuojun. When we return, we will transport the war horses seized from the Youzhou battlefield. I hope Mr. Mi can personally escort the fleet."

"It must, it must, such a big business, Zhu naturally has to personally supervise it." Mi Zhu agreed immediately, thinking that this was normal.

It was only at this moment that Li Su was completely relieved.

Li Su's social eloquence and strategy and talent are all about diplomatic fraud. In terms of winning over people's emotional intelligence and skills, he is still inferior to Liu Bei.

So Li Su could only first understand it and use reason to move it with reason, fool Mi Zhu into a business partner, and take him north.

I really want to turn Mi Zhu into a subordinate. Can I become a subordinate this year? When I saw that Liu Bei personally showed his personal charm.

It also includes Lu Su and some other talents recruited on the road. In the end, Liu Bei needed to win over himself to make his loyalty more reliable.

There is no way to be a professional profession.

...

After talking about the serious matters, Mi Zhu was very enthusiastic about leaving Li Su and his party to the mansion for two days. It was almost the end of April, so he personally sent someone to escort them to Guangling.

Li Su went on the road with a huge sum of up to 30 million yuan (Liu Bei's surplus principal was 10 million yuan, and he cooperated with Mi Zhu Commercial to get 20 million yuan).

The final deadline for the meeting that had been discussed with Wu Qiuyi was the fifth day of the fifth month, and the East China Sea was not far from Guangling. Li Su and his party arrived on the second day of the fifth month.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qiuyi was also very capable. The next day, the third day of the New Year was also here, and everyone happened to start construction early.

At the same time, after dividing the work with Li Su a while ago, Lu Su, who ran to Danyang to inquire about the news, also came back with a few friends and the news, and everyone met in Guangling.

Wu Qiuyi asked about the situation along the way, and planned to start recruiting troops according to the normal process.

It was also at this time that Li Su decisively showed the responsibility that a gold medal adviser should have and actively suggested following the ideas provided by Lu Su:

"Guowei! We arrived a few days ago and have already found out that if we directly buy and sell Danyang soldiers, each person's value would probably be less than tens of thousands of dollars, which would be too expensive. Even if the court allocated 100 million yuan, it would only buy thousands of elite soldiers.

Rather, we should act in a position of justice in the court, and instigate the newly-income refugee generals in the local area to attack Shanyue Hao generals, who are always separatist. On the one hand, we can show the power of the court, and on the other hand, we can also buy prisoners at a cheap price."

Wu Qiuyi was not aware of the situation. He was shocked when he heard this: "Every Danyang soldier has to pay tens of thousands of dollars directly? This is too expensive. In the future, it is not that there is no need to pay military salaries. This is just equivalent to a settlement fee. Where did your information come from?"

Li Su wanted to answer himself, but he knew that he had no credibility, so he gave Lu Su who had just followed him a wink and then introduced: "The Duwei, this Lusu Lu Zijing, is a local scholar who travels to study. He has a wide range of friends and knowledge, and is willing to serve the court. I must listen to his introduction."

Wu Qiuyi looked up and down, and said to Li Su's face: "It's accurate, let's see if what you said is reasonable."

Lu Su bowed with a humble and arrogant look: "The commander of the Good Teachings learned that since the Yellow Turbans were pacified, the value of the Danyang soldiers in Guangling had declined. In the second and third years of Zhongping, they basically floated up and down 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per person.

But at the end of last year, the District Star Rebellion broke out. Before Sun Jian took office as the prefect of Changsha, he recruited a considerable number of Danyang soldiers. It was less than three months since Sun Jian recruited troops, so the current source of troops was relatively short. The seller's heroic soldiers were on the ground and the strong warriors sold 50,000 yuan each."

Wu Qiuyi was also a little confused. It turned out that the supply and demand relationship changed drastically, which led to the rise in human prices.

He didn't know about this when he left Luoyang. The budget given to him by the court was also based on the military price in the peaceful era last year.

If Lu Su's method is not used, Wu Qiu Yi might not even complete the tasks and goals set by the court.

Liu Yu only gave him a budget of 50 million, and he would recruit at least 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers. He also said that if he could recruit less money and more people from the An family, he would plan for merit and promotion, and the rest could be paid slowly after going to Youzhou, just as it was counted as military pay.

Wuqiu Yi originally looked down on Lu Su who had just met, but after being forced by the "impossible task" of the imperial court, he had to give Lu Su a path of advancement and a chance to perform.

"Lu Su, let's talk about the grudges between the heroes and heroes of the mountains and rivers of Danyang, how should we start? If we make any contribution, I will report to the envoy, at least you will be a clerk and assistant."
