Chapter 91 Exhibition

The appearance of glass in this era is definitely a hugely profitable industry, and this huge profit made Xiao Ming unable to calm down.

Because of this, he gave the management rights of glass to his Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

But Xiao Ming eats alone, and other businessmen from other places will naturally not be happy, and they may find trouble when they operate the chassis, so Xiao Ming proposed a plan to auction off the sales rights of the glass after half a year.

In this way, he can not only earn the first pot of gold, but also appease these businessmen.

A few days later, the glass exhibition Xiao Ming said was officially held in Dongshi, and all the glass produced by the workers these days was taken out.

Xiao Ming also dispatched soldiers from the Qingzhou Army to maintain order at the scene.

The merchants were not surprised by all kinds of new words in Qingzhou, and after figuring out the meaning of this exhibition, they flocked here today.

"Is this glass?"

The merchants whispered below, just like Wang Shijie and Qin Mu's reactions, the moment the merchants saw the glass, they were deeply shocked by this strange thing.

"Crystal and translucent, cold to the touch, smooth as skin, this is really a god."

At the exhibition, glass is allowed to be picked up and viewed, some businessmen exclaimed after appreciating it.

"Brother Han, how do you think this glass compares to porcelain?" a businessman asked his companion.

"Porcelain is exquisite, but this glass is crystal clear and rare, and its value cannot be estimated, but if you take it out, it will definitely be loved by the rich and powerful," said the businessman surnamed Han.

"I also think so. In my opinion, this glass can make more money than that soap and fine wine, but the auction of the distribution rights is probably more expensive."

"That's true, but it's quick to earn money back. If we are in business, we have to take risks."

"What Brother Han taught is."

"..."

The exhibition hall is a circular venue, the outer edge is pulled up by ropes, and the glass inside is placed on some wooden stools. Businessmen walk around the wooden stools, admiring the different shapes of glass.

As time goes by, more and more merchants come here, and the merchants are also looking forward to how King Qi will auction the distribution rights of this glass.

But the arrival of Li Kaiyuan made them a little disappointed, because he brought Xiao Mingdi glass sales method.

"Half a year?" a businessman asked.

Li Kaiyuan nodded, "Yes, it's half a year, and after half a year, only businessmen who have joined the Chamber of Commerce will be eligible to participate in the auction."

There are still many new businessmen from other places. They don't know much about the chamber of commerce. When Li Kaiyuan said this, they suddenly felt that the chamber of commerce became very important.

After thinking about waiting for the exhibition, I paid a fee to join the chamber of commerce.

At first, there was no fee to join the Chamber of Commerce, but as the number of merchants increased, Xiao Ming added this.

"Unfortunately, we have to wait half a year, which will cost us a lot of money."

Ding Wanquan was also standing below at this time. Although he was a celebrity in front of King Wei, Li Kaiyuan was now the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, and under Xiao Ming, Li Kaiyuan had the final say.

Now that Li Kaiyuan came out to speak, it seems that this is what King Qi meant.

As for King Qi's arrangement, shrewd businessmen can see through it as soon as they guess. From this, it can be seen that the huge profits of this glass, even King Qi is not calm.

Some of the big businessmen around the other vassal kings stopped talking. At this time, they publicly objected. That would not give the King of Qi face. Instead, it is better to visit the King of Qi in private.

The open and transparent exhibition lasted for a whole day, and the name of glass quickly spread among the merchants, and the people of Qingzhou City also talked about it.

This King Qi tinkered with another magical thing.

At the end of the exhibition, the merchants dispersed one after another. They each went back to find a way, while some merchants prepared generous gifts and went directly to Xiao Ming's palace.

"The king of Wei, the king of Yan, the king of Chu, the king of Zhao, the king of Huainan, the king of Liang, the king of Runan, the princess of Pingyang, the third prince,

Prince..." In the main hall of the palace, Xiao Ming passed the prayers one by one, and the wry smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

Aster stood beside Xiao Ming, and it was she who sent these salutations, she said, "Your Highness, you are really a celebrity in the Great Yu Kingdom now, whether it is the vassal king, princess or prince, you can all come to ask for it. following you."

"Hmph, it's just a letter of worship, it's not a request, it's just a routine. It's not a problem for me to write three hundred copies of such a post a day." Xiao Ming put a stack of letters of worship in Luluo's hand and said, "Take it. Let's be a fire starter for the coal stove."

Luluo glanced at Nature, thinking that Xiao Ming had made a fool of himself again, seeing Aster nodding, then went out with the invitation.

"His Royal Highness, this is always a good thing, at least they are always scruples about you now, and they don't dare to neglect you easily," Ziwan said.

Aster's meaning is to want Xiao Ming to meet these merchants, and Concubine Zhen sent him here, and she also has the idea of ​​making her Xiao Mingxian's internal assistant. If Xiao Ming makes a mistake, he can persuade him.

At this time, Xiao Ming and other vassal kings, princes, and princesses were rebuilding their relationship. She thought that this was not a bad thing for Xiao Ming.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said: "I will definitely see you. It's just that their master was so contemptuous of me in the past, and now he has to retaliate, saying that this king is bathing and changing clothes, and let them wait for a while." Xiao Ming said.

Aster nodded and bowed out of the main hall.

At this time, Xiao Ming sat down and tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about how to deal with these merchants.

When he announced that he would sell glass in half a year, he thought that there must be some big businessmen who would not be able to hold back, and he knew exactly who these people were.

Their purpose is nothing more than to get some privileges, which is normal in an era full of power and privileges like the Great Yu Kingdom.

Everyone is an exchange of interests, either cooperating or wearing small shoes with each other.

Therefore, if it is unavoidable to give them some privileges, Xiao Ming will get what he wants.

Now all he needs is silver and craftsmen, which are the most basic elements of the industrial foundation, and only these two things can let him relax.

Thinking of this, he thought about his words, and then asked Aster to invite the merchants in.

The first person to appear outside the main hall was Ding Wanquan, followed by King Yan's merchant surnamed Han, and King Liang's Lv merchant came in one by one, a total of twenty-five merchants.

Some of these merchants came from the fiefdoms of different surnamed vassals, some from the fiefs of royal vassals, and some vassal merchants of princes and princesses, who can be said to be the most powerful people in the Great Yu Kingdom.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Xiao Ming said with a smile, "You are here to visit this king so late. This king also understands the meaning of this. It's just that the glass issue is related to the interests of Qingzhou. Naturally, this king cannot easily agree to you." "
