459, rose alloy
In later generations, the most successful alloy is probably rose gold. Its soft color and romantic temperament are very popular among women of all ages.
In ancient and modern times, I believe that the girls of the Yuanlong Dynasty will not reject this unforgettable rose color.
Rose gold is an alloy composed of gold, copper and silver. Xiaoxiao once saw the proportion of various ingredients of rose gold on a promotional page. Unfortunately, he didn't pay attention to it at that time. He only remembered that the proportion of gold was 75%, and the composition of silver was the least, about 2 to 4%. The rest was copper.
Xiaoxiao combined these metal powders with a variety of "suspected rose gold" colors, and finally chose the closest one, dipped in varnish, and drew it on the paper. In order to form a color contrast, simple gold, silver and copper were painted next to it.
What is alchemy? Xiaoxiao doesn’t understand it. You don’t need to understand it too much. These should be the issues that my grandfather considered.
In fact, the things that Wu Fang is worried about are not unreasonable. Making alloys is a big deal. In this family, you must first pass the authority's elders and grandfathers, and then report them to the court step by step. In the end, maybe the most authoritative parent emperor in our dynasty will make the decision.
But it’s not complicated to think through. As long as you keep the proportion record, debug it bit by bit, and then go through trials, it won’t cause too much waste.
There is nothing to worry about reporting to the court. The old man had already undertaken the jewelry manufacturing and operation. In addition, he had adopted the foundation of gold and proposed that manufacturing alloys was at most an innovation, and at least a due diligence. But if you can make rose gold, you can have any ambitions to talk about.
The general direction has been clear, and this matter is feasible.
What Xiaoxiao has to do now is to persuade the decision-maker in the family - grandfather Mr. Tang.
Xiao Dier was a little anxious when she looked at the girl from the side. With the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren, Xiaoxiao and the old man should have negotiated the business in the fields. The girl's idea has always been fresh and reliable, and the old man also loves this granddaughter very much.
"It is a very complicated process to implement your own ideas and then turn them into money." Xiaoxiao answered Xiao Dier's inner question.
"But, this is obviously the Tang family's own business, so why bother the girl? If you really can't figure it out, you can discuss it with the old man." Xiao Dier said her thoughts.
"In this matter, my grandfather gave everyone the same opportunity, five house heads, and each house has the freedom to develop new products," Xiaoxiao seemed to be saying to Xiao Dier, and also to himself, "If every house has its own idea, then this matter is a disguised competition."
"But the girl still wants to help the fifth room..."
"That's really out of favor. Since the other party doesn't appreciate this favor, I have to concentrate on doing this so that they can know what kind of thing is: do it even though they know it is impossible."
Xiao Dier gradually understood that the girl treated this matter as a major and important matter. In addition to expressing enough respect and attention to the family business, she also wanted to block the Wu Fang's mouth.
I remembered what the fifth wife once said - if the third wife said something wrong, the old man might be forgiven. The fifth wife is now a thorn in the side of his hometown, so it would be better to be cautious.
If the girl is simply and easily recognized by the old man this time, the fifth bedroom will feel that her hometown is more favorable to the third bedroom.
So this time the girl has to do her homework and make the other housekeepers convinced her.
Xiao Dier's eyes fell on the words "Feasibility Plan" that the girl had just written, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The girl's words later made Xiao Di'er's expression gradually become serious.
——"Business is business. Once you decide to start, you must put aside all prejudices and luck." Xiao Xiaoxiao's words were later recorded in the notebook by Xiao Dier.
Xiaoxiao was happy to teach his subordinates a lesson at the right opportunity: "The business of jewelry manufacturing sounds like a piece of fat: with a palace background as a backer, the people they use are all relatives with blood relationships, and it seems that they will not lose no matter how they manage it."
Xiao Dier nodded, so the merchants squeezed their heads to become imperial merchants.
"There are dangers behind any interests. The greater the interests, the greater the danger. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger, no one in this world can easily make a lot of money.
"The royal family gave us guarantees, but it also formed a huge barrier, which prevented us from letting go of our hands and feet to open up the market, and the audience would be very narrow, and these products were more suitable for princes and nobles to use.
"Family businesses are full of natural constraints. Putting human relationships and worldly affairs on the outside will help to open up the situation outside, but putting them inside the company will only become an invisible shackle, making many affairs unable to be carried out normally.
"The attitude of the five-bedroom house is the best example, as if it is determined that the grandfather will have prejudice, and that the grandfather will not adopt their suggestions - in their opinion, winning the favor of grandfathers and grandmothers may be more important than doing business itself.
"So, in a family business, every step I do must follow the corporate rules, and speak with strength, and no one can say anything. Moreover, I hope that from me, the internal management of our Tang family can form a fixed model. Since each house is in trouble, it might as well put all the problems on the surface. Once you have a good idea, give a detailed feasibility report, hold a meeting to give an introduction speech, and try to impress everyone.
"We must let everyone know that every opinion must be approved through numerous standards, to bring safety wealth to the family, and not to add points by slapping the back of the hometown."
When Xiaoxiao was excited, he talked too much.
Product development, internal management, and market development are equally important for a company. If one mistake is made, everything will be lost.
Xiaoxiao didn't want to participate in the business of jewelry shops, nor was he jealous of that kind of profit. The various restrictions of the royal merchants made Xiaoxiao uninterested - but rose gold is always good, and it is a happy thing to bring this beautiful metal to Yuanlongchao.
And the alchemy can only be done by the imperial merchants.
Then go and do it.
"Before I made this report thoroughly, I sent someone to send roses to the old man's room every day, with the colors casually matched, but there must be a rose-red color inside." Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Dier, who was a little confused, "I am not trying to please the old man, but equating my boss with a customer. Impressing him is equivalent to impressing the customer."
"Are the girl planning to let the old man appreciate the beauty of roses in advance?" Xiao Di'er kept laughing and using her mind.
Xiaoxiao gave Xiao Di'er a thumbs up.
"If this is the case, we might as well put together a book "Pleasant to yourself" while delivering flowers?" Xiao Dier offered her advice.
Xiaoxiao heard this and her eyes were bent: "Good idea, let him understand the aesthetics of our Kyoto fashion industry~"
Rose is an indispensable color in every issue of "Pleasant Self".
...
A few months later, rose gold was grandly launched. From the palace to the people, from Kyoto to all over the country, from ports to overseas, this rose gold has become the hottest jewelry raw material.
The money of alloy naturally belongs to the court. This time the Tang family created a foreign exchange for the court. But rose alloy also led to the sale of rose gold jewelry. The Tang family's jewelry shops were filled with new jewelry such as "the same style as the queen" and "the same style as the concubine" that attracted the attention of noble ladies - because the price is extremely high, the customers they face could only be noble ladies.
Every time the Tang family sells a piece of rose gold jewelry, the three bedrooms can get profits from it. When the profits are sent to the three bedrooms, not only Shan Niang, but even Tang Qifan was shocked by this huge number.
The money is earned by my daughter, so I give it to my daughter, and there is no need to save up for her as a dowry, and she doesn't spend it randomly. - Qifan didn't have a penny left, and gave it to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao finally bought a large garden in the suburbs of Beijing as she wished. From then on, Jinghong Xiangshang no longer had to squeeze in with the magazine.
These are naturally later stories, and I will talk about them later.
Just say that now, since the old man agreed to refining rose alloy, some people in the other Tang family's house have begun to become jealous, and the strongest emotions are naturally the fifth room. Zhen's eyes are not only red in an anxious manner, but also regrets her intestines. She dare not reveal this to others, for fear that it will spread to the fifth master.
"She is also cruel and hasn't said it clearly, so she is in a hurry to let us make the decision!" Zhen Shi only dared to say a few words to Yanran when she was not there - she was still unwilling to give up.
"We are timid and have no courage, so we can't blame others." Yanran could see clearly.
Zhen spat: "If she showed us the feasibility plan first, I would agree without blinking! It can be seen that she has something hidden in her heart and wants to make a lot of money by working alone!"
Yanran couldn't help but sneer: "Take the feasibility plan for us? Let's ask if we agree or not? Mom is really crazy, why don't she just let her share half of the profits she earned? Wouldn't this be more troublesome!"
Zhen rolled her eyes and couldn't speak. After a long time, she sighed and said, "I think she can do anything she does. It's okay for us to follow her. If she has any ideas in the future, we just follow her without saying a word."
Yanran couldn't help laughing: "Mom is still counting on others to give us advice? Stop dreaming!"
After saying this, the mother and daughter felt a little embarrassed. After a while, Yanran said again: "My fifth sister is born to be a business prodigy, and she can even be said to be a business prodigy. I'll forget it... I can't do anything big. According to me, it's better to get married."
Zhen also felt it was reasonable: "The old man took over jewelry making this time, and many old friends in business are coming to celebrate with him. According to the old lady, we are going to hold a banquet at our house. Although there are few people invited, they are all old acquaintances. Promises of young people at home will also come together," Zhen said, lowering his voice, "Although our family does not have the tradition of holding a flower banquet, the old lady is taking advantage of the excuse to see you..."
Yanran just heard about this letter, and her eyes were bright: "When is this? When will the banquet be held?"
"When I greeted you today, the old lady deliberately missed a few words, and the day was set before the Lotus Festival, saying that there would be many young talents from the business world coming!"
When Yanran heard this, she felt like she was injected with a breath of true energy. She was full of energy: "Great! No one robbed me this time! The second sister has already decided on the Weng family, the third sister has always been cold, and she is a concubine daughter, the fourth sister, must have put in full spirit to compete with the fifth sister for Jin Zhonglun! The fifth sister is just a money skeleton that will not be moved! Besides, she has Jin Zhonglun anyway, and she has no intention to move!" Yanran couldn't help but feel a little sad when she mentioned Jin Zhonglun. Although she had no intention of Jin Zhonglun, the other party's family was so envious that she had everything once she got married.
"Don't learn from them. If you want to find one, just find one that is affordable! Those fancy clothes are useless. Your father was handsome when he was young, so he was useless!" Zhen mentioned her husband and was angry.
Yanran also nodded directly: "Well! I have already thought about it. If you want to find someone, you can find someone who is down-to-earth and steady, with a certain family background, willing to listen to the elders, and be willing to keep your career in a regular manner!"
Zhen looked at her daughter and felt unconscious that when girls of the same age were still envious of the beauty, her daughter had matured early - alas, she was born in such a complex family and saw through everything early.
"Good kid, you will definitely live a good life." Zhen couldn't help but hold her daughter in her arms, "When the time comes, you will take care of her husband and children steadily. Don't worry about her parents' affairs. Your father is a bottomless pit. If you care about him once, he will be able to bother you for the rest of his life!"
Yanran leaned against her mother's shoulder, bit her lip, and wanted to cry.
"There is another thing, you must remember it." Zhen said earnestly, "Before the age of thirty, you must have a son. It is better to have your own one. If things don't go as expected, you have to find a way to let others have a child for you."
Yanran had never thought about these problems, and she stood up and looked into her mother's eyes.
Zhen grabbed her daughter's slender wrist and rubbed it: "You are too old. Some things I have to teach you earlier for my mother to avoid regrets in the future. Just like today, I like you... The sound of the oriole is good, and it looks like a symbol. I grow up with you. Then I will help them up. Those brothers fall to the ground will be yours."
Yanran didn't want to listen to these, but the more she refused, the more she would be imprinted into her heart and would not be erased.
Zhen sighed softly: "I said I was looking for an honest and polite person... But how can a man be honest? He is really a fool and a fool, let alone a wealthy person!"
