Chapter 131 The return of the giant businessman
"This... is this?" Chen Rong took the box with both hands, and just opened a small gap, and his eyes were immediately blinded by the crystal clear inside.
I saw a Buddha statue as big as a palm lying in this exquisite brocade box set against soft silk.
It would be nothing if it was just a Buddha statue. The key is that this Buddha statue is crystal clear and is actually made of glass!
"What a delicate glass Buddha statue!" Chen Sen, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but exclaim.
Chen Rong tried hard to stop the trembling in his hand and gently took out the glass Buddha statue. Now the wind and rain in the sky have stopped suddenly, and a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, shining on the Buddha statue in Shen Rong's hand. The Buddha statue was completely in full Gives seven-colored light, like gods and Buddhas appearing.
"Ah!" Chen Rong's old hand shook and almost threw the Buddha statue to the ground. Fortunately, Chen Sen's eyes were fast and his hands were fast, and he grabbed the Buddha statue with both hands. The father and son breathed a sigh of relief after two disasters.
"Is Your Highness the treasure taken out of the palace?" Chen Rong put the Buddha statue back into the box and respectfully returned it to Zhu Su. "Although this thing is very exquisite, the things in the palace cannot be used for business. ”
"The Shen family really dare not take this risk, I hope the fifth prince will forgive..." Chen Rong said.
"Official Chen thought this was a treasure I stole from the palace?" Zhu Su sneered. "I look like a prodigal son who stole the treasures from my family and sold them? This thing was made by my imperial house. Let’s see how much this thing can be sold?”
"Burned it yourself?" Chen Rong was shocked. Chen Sen suddenly thought of something and asked: "The book once recorded that the palace in the Song Dynasty could burn glass cups, but there were so many colors in it that it could not be crystal clear. Could it be that Your Highness has mastered a more complete firing method?"
Chen Rong was about to scold his son for being rude, but Zhu Su waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay. Mr. Chen's guess is good, I have indeed mastered a more perfect firing method."
"This thing is not glass, I call it 'glass'. Chen Yuanwai thinks, how much does this thing cost appropriate?"
"Well. Such a crystal-clear jade Buddha can reveal the Buddha's appearance under the sun. If it is placed in a prosperous place in Jiangnan, five hundred taels will probably be more than enough... I wonder how much this thing costs?" Chen Rong asked. p>
"This number." Zhu Su stretched out five fingers.
"Fifty taels? Well, even if you dial out the freight fee, this item can benefit seven or eight times the price." Chen Rong nodded with satisfaction. In this case, this business can be done.
"Uh. I'm talking about five liang." Zhu Su scratched his head. He originally wanted to say five liang. After all, the raw materials for burning glass are worthless sand. Five liang is considered too much. Think about the hard work of disabled veterans in the glass kiln, and their labor costs should be calculated more.
It is not too much to calculate the labor cost of more than four taels of glass.
"Five...5 taels?" The Shen family's father and son almost fell into disarray again. A hundred times the profit! This is not business, this is robbing money!
He has been in business all his life and has never seen anything that can benefit a hundred times!
"I don't know, what is the output?" Chen Rong asked tremblingly.
"Hmm? Yield?" Zhu Su thought for a while. "In a month, you should be able to make for forty or fifty people."
"If the mold hadn't been a little more troublesome, it would have been done faster."
Glass mold is indeed a troublesome thing. I haven’t found the way to make steelmaking yet, and I can’t make a suitable alloy glass mold. The veteran who burned glass, Lao Zhuang, led a few veterans to try it continuously, and finally discovered a kind of The mold made from river mud can barely shape the glass solution.
Although it can only be used for one-time use and is far from being a reusable alloy mold, it has been considered a great breakthrough.
"Forty or fifty one month? Can it be faster?"
Chen Rong's eyes were almost falling off. This kind of thing that can be called a rare treasure can actually be mass-produced! Moreover, the cost of one is only five taels?
His eyes changed when he looked at Zhu Su. This is not the prince of the Zhu family, he is clearly a boy from Shancai!
However, after a little calmer, he still found the problem: "Your Highness, although this thing is cherished,... if it is too many, it may not be so valuable."
"If you want to sell this item, I think it's better not to sell so much at once. If Your Highness is not short of money, he will sell this item with more profits."
It turns out that he has been a businessman who has been doing business all his life! He knows the principle that rare things are expensive. If this glass Buddha is sold alone, it is more than enough to sell it at a high price of 500 taels. But if forty or fifty treasures are sold together, that one can be sold. One hundred taels are rare.
Later generations bought one-to-one antique vases and deliberately smashed one because of this reason. Because one was broken, the other became an orphan, which became even more valuable.
"Hehehe, Mr. Chen, don't worry, everything is in my calculations." Seeing that Mr. Chen had something, Zhu Su also revealed his plan to buy glass. "It doesn't have to be a Buddha statue, this explanation If you have the statue of Buddha, you must not arrange one of Guanyin statues? Otherwise, how can you know the sincerity of my worldly people respecting Guanyin Master?”
"With the Guanyin statue, the eighteen Arhats always need it, right? And the Ksitigarbha Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, can you not be like this?"
"Buddhism is over, and there is still Taoism. Who does not need to be like the Three Pure Dao Ancestors and the Infinite Heavenly Lord?"
"If you like it, we can do it even bigger. A large glass Buddha sits in the hall, and the sun shines on it. Who dares to say that this family is not blessed by the gods?"
It doesn't matter if the gods have been carved. Now the half of the Three Kingdoms I mentioned has been circulating in Yingtian Prefecture. At that time, I can use the east wind of the Three Kingdoms to make a glass statue of Liu, Guan, Zhang, Xiahou brothers and other generals of the Three Kingdoms. I can also make a Wei Shu Wu series, the eighteen princes attacked Dong series. Sell this thing as a collection figure.
If you buy Liu Bei, can you still not buy Guan Zhang? If you buy Guan Zhang, is Zhao Yun and Ma Chao weaker than him? Since you have bought so many, you might as well collect all the counselors and generals of Shu Kingdom at one time. If you don’t let him go, don’t let him go. How can the king and his subjects be separated from each other?
After the Three Kingdoms are finished, we can continue to work on Water Margin! After the Water Margin is finished, we can also talk about the Legend of Yue, the Legend of the Condor Heroes...
With so many tricks, there is no need to worry about the loss of high value of this glass.
After listening carefully to Zhu Su's words, the Shen family's father and son were already stunned and could not say a word for a long time.
After a long time, Chen Rongcai bowed to Zhu Su: "...Your Highness, I have already appreciated it."
This fifth prince is young, where does so many unscrupulous businessmen have the twists and turns in his belly?
It's so dark! It's much darker than us! If these five princesses were born a few years earlier, what would happen to our Shen family?
There is no Chen Wansan in the world, it has long been changed to Zhu Wansan.
"Glass is just one of them." Zhu Su continued to speak without shockingly. "I still have many big deals in my hands. For example, nowadays, the pancreas is ten times more useful, and the wine is fragrant and fragrant. The mellow wine, a perfume that is ten times better than today's rouge powder, can burn charcoal in winter without any troubles of smoke..."
Every time he said one, the wrinkles on Chen Rong's face jumped. He did not doubt the authenticity of Zhu Su's words at all. What's impossible is that he could burn such a fine glaze with five taels of silver. Each of these things was carried alone. When you come out, you can make a fortune in a wealthy businessman!
"Your Highness!" Before Zhu Su finished speaking, Chen Rong directly interrupted Zhu Su's narrative.
"I wonder if your Highness is willing to allow me to serve as a businessman."
