Chapter 25: Piracy

"They're all monitors or researchers." He Lin smiled happily and proudly.

"That's good." Li Xian nodded with satisfaction. Now everything is on the fast track, and the power of industry is about to roar in this world.

Unfortunately, He Lin interrupted Li Xian's imagination, "But young master, I have this loom, but the raw materials are not enough. The old lady searched all over Anyang, but only found raw materials for two thousand bolts of cloth; There is a gap of 8,000 bolts of raw material."

"Um... it will be available soon." Li Xian immediately thought of asking Shangguan Yong, Zhang Quan and Yuan Zhao to collect textile materials before leaving.

Seeing that everything is going well here, Li Xian found Song Xing, "Song Xing, take my token, go to Wuyang City as fast as you can, find Shangguan Yong, Zhang Quan and Yuan Zhao, and let them take all the money they received. The textile materials are delivered as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"Yes." Song Xing shouted happily, and set off overnight with a few brothers. Song Xing is very excited recently, he has become one of Li Xian's confidantes from a runaway servant at the beginning, this is a step up to the sky.

The brothers of Song Xing were all around the fifth, sixth, and sixth or seventh floors of the Qi refining period, so they rushed back to Wuyang City, the capital of the emperor, the next evening.

"Hey, tell me quickly, what did the virtuous brother say?" Yuan Zhao was very concerned about that "virtuous brother" who was half a year older than him.

Song Xing and the others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, "Young master Yuan, the young master just said that you should send all the textile materials to Anyang as soon as possible, the sooner the better. I didn't tell the little one more, I thought about it Let's go."

"Oh, wait a minute, let's see."

The three letters were written with the words Shangguan, Zhang, and Yuan, and each of the three took their own letters to read.

Yuan Zhao yelled: "Ah, my brother is so loud, let us prepare to sell 20,000 pieces of cloth raw materials and sales channels before the New Year. He will not force the entire Anyang Textile. That is not right, it will make the Anyang collapsed."

Zhang Quan squinted his small eyes and calculated, "20,000 pieces of cloth cost almost 2,000 shi. I collected 800 shi here. How about you?"

Yuan Zhao laughed loudly, "I received 1100 shi! Haha, distribute the cloth sales according to the amount of raw materials, I won!"

Shangguan Yong smiled awkwardly, "Well... I just took six hundred shi. I'll use all the money...cough cough...Qinglou, hehe..."

When Zhang Quan heard Shangguan Yong's words, an imperceptible scorn flashed in his eyes, but he said, "Fortunately, this should be enough for my brother to be busy."

After Zhang Quan finished speaking, he looked at Song Xing again, "Go back and tell your young master that we can deliver all the 2,500 shi of textile raw materials in three days at most, and we will personally escort them. Mainly cotton, linen and silk. In addition, all the dyes and so on are also available.”

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Song Xing and the others didn't rest, they just went back to Li's mansion to get a new horse, and returned overnight. For practitioners above the fifth level in the Qi refining period, it's okay not to sleep for three to five days in a row, it's just that they will be a little sleepy, and it is most appropriate to inform the young master of the information as soon as possible.

Only after completing the task, Song Xing and the others finally had the opportunity to observe Wuyang City—the whole Wuyang City had completely changed after dozens of days of absence, and the entire street was covered with colorful lights of all sizes. At night, Wuyang City seems to be dazzling and dazzling.

"Wait, that lantern is not made by us!" Song Xing's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that a lantern was different from his own - compared to the lanterns of the bright stars, these lanterns did not have transparent glass shells, which It made the colored lights lose some of their brilliance.

Song Xing led the horse, saw Xiao Er at the door of the store, and immediately took out ten copper coins, "Brother, I have a question, where do you get these lanterns from?"

Xiao Er happily took the copper plate, "Brother, if you walk 30 feet forward, you will see a neon light store, that's it."

"Thanks."

Song Xing took the lead and walked forward, and sure enough, not far away, he saw a more dazzling small building with the same three floors; it didn't have the bold decoration like the bright stars-floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

For this kind of floor-to-ceiling large pieces of glass, Brilliant Star Trading Co., of course, also sells them, and the price is reasonable; but as a direct competitor, it is obviously not possible to lose face like this, which is completely understandable.

But we can't underestimate the wisdom of others. Although there are no large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the murals of the sea of ​​clouds are made of white jade, and a lot of colorful lights are decorated to illuminate it, which is somewhat "fairy".

When I got closer, I found that it was indeed a "Neon Lighting Firm"; beside the firm was a palm-sized jasper plaque with two words: Wang's family.

"The property of the Wang family?" Song Xing rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea, "You guys wait outside, I'll go in and have a look."

"Brother Song, be careful." Chen Jinbing was a little worried. His own young master beat the Wang family's young master to death, the feud between the two families was already endless, if his identity was found out, Song Xing might not be able to get out.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm a customer." Song Xing strode in. After entering, Song Xing began to observe carefully.

Uniform standard clothing, the same modesty and politeness, treat people with a smile, and half of the house is set up as a private seat; the colorful lights on the shelves are classified into categories and clearly marked with prices. It can be seen that Li Xian has forever changed the business atmosphere of Xianyu—at least the business atmosphere of Daxia Kingdom has begun to change.

When Song Xing was watching it enthusiastically, there was Xiao Er who followed him and was also responsible for explaining.

"You also made a switch?" Song Xing was most concerned about this. With Li Xian every day, Song Xing certainly knows what is the key. Li Xian doesn't care about glass, formations, etc.; what Li Xian cares most about is this humble switch.

"Of course, the switch is not too difficult. As long as you have a deep understanding of the formation, as long as you study deeply, you can research this small switch."

"Well, not bad." Song Xing said something against his will naturally, and walked, observed, and picked out a few representative colored lanterns that were easy to carry.

After viewing all the colored lights on the first floor, Song Xing asked naturally: "How long are your colored lights?"

"One year."

"Why aren't there any... um, colored lights with glass casings?"

"It will be there soon. We have mastered some production methods of Liuli."

Song Xing asked "glass", but Xiao Er answered "glass". That's a big difference. Under the influence of Li Xian, people called the pure and translucent glass glass, and the mixed color glass.

When the word "glass" is mentioned, everyone thinks of crystal clear, pure and bright; when it comes to "glass", what people think of is colorful and tacky. This is also the business concept advocated by Li Xian.

So Song Xing asked immediately, his tone seemed a little unhappy: "I'm asking about glass, not colored glaze."

Xiao Er calmly said, "Guest officer, we really haven't mastered the method of making glass yet, but the lanterns we have are also very exciting, and the price is 20% lower than that of Bright Stars."

"Okay, wrap it all up for me, how much will it cost?" After inquiring about the situation, Song Xing was about to leave.

"Okay, a total of 48 taels of silver."

Without further ado, Song Xing took out a small ingot of gold ingots, worth five taels. Xiao Er respectfully retrieved two taels of silver.

Song Xing went out, and several people immediately hit the road and left Wuyang City before the city gate was closed.
