Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1949

"Reduce the manufacturing cost of glassware by two hundred times, Qin Guogong, how much do you think this technology should be worth?"

"Uh... Conservative estimates, it must be tens of millions!"

Deng Qibin nodded, and said: "The price you mentioned is very reasonable. You saved me Deng Qibin twice, and I returned it with technology worth tens of millions. In addition, the manufacturing technology of flat glass was also included as a gift. Doesn’t the kindness of dripping water count as repayment from the spring?”

1000 million sticks, the famous Meijiao Niang in Pingkang Lane can buy 1.It would be too bad of conscience to say that it is not enough to save lives.

Of course Guo Ye can say that without the knowledge I taught you, you would not be able to develop such a valuable technology.

But he also knew that teaching Deng Qibin this knowledge would be like adding wings to a tiger.But if you teach it to others, you may not be able to achieve any effect.At the very least, Guo Ye, who has this knowledge, can't even make the most basic glass.

Generally speaking, Guo Ye and Deng Yangren are in a relationship where cooperation benefits both.

Not wanting to compete with him on this issue, Guo Ye nodded and said, "Well, you don't owe us anything. But what do you mean when you say we are sorry?"

Deng Qibin said: "We originally agreed to give me [-]% of the dry shares of the glass workshop, right? Tell me yourself, how much money can the glass workshop make a year now? Does this money match my technology?"

Chang'an City can sell 30 million glass bowls and dishes a year, which is very good. It usually costs one, and the total sales are only 30 million.The profit accounts for about half of the selling price, and two-thirds of the profit will be distributed to Guo Ye and others.

Calculating carefully, Deng Qibin's [-]% stake is only [-] to [-] yuan a year.

There is of course a reason why Guo Ye set such a low price.On the one hand, he wants to use this to attack the five great noble families.On the other hand, it is also because he is not short of money.He is satisfied if he can popularize glassware on a large scale.

But obviously, he ignored Deng Yangren's feelings on this point.The purpose of people traveling across the ocean is not to add bricks and tiles to the construction of Datang.Seeing that the technology that can make a lot of money every day is only exchanged for three melons and two dates, can you not be anxious?

Therefore, it is reasonable for Deng Qibin to be dissatisfied.

Guo Ye bowed to the end, and said: "Mr. Deng, what Guo did earlier was indeed inappropriate, and I apologize to you here. However, although glassware did not make money, plate glass..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Quan answered and said: "So, on the plate glass, Mr. Deng couldn't trust Qin Guogong, so he found the old man to cooperate."

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Patriarch Li, we smart people don't speak dark words. Mr. Deng is simple-minded, how can there be so many twists and turns? Did he ask you to cooperate, or did you ask him?"

"Qin Guogong really doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. Yes, it is true that the old man sent someone to contact Mr. Deng secretly. But, so what? As the saying goes, if the road is uneven, someone will shovel it, and if the problem is uneven, someone will take care of it. Mr. Deng can't bear it. Fair treatment, can't the old man meddle in his own business?"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "It turns out that Patriarch Li drew his sword to help when he saw injustice, so should I call you Old Xia Li? Taiyuan Wang's Wang Sibang Wang Shaoxia, and Longxi Li's Li Quan Li Laoxia. It is really gratifying to congratulate the heroes of the five great gentry clans!"

It is not a good thing to say that Li Quan is a hero.To make a simple analogy, this is similar to praising a deputy to the National People's Congress for being a good leader of the underworld.

The five great gentry clans have the most reputation. Li Quan was so angry that his face turned red and white. He suppressed his anger and said, "I won't argue with you. Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about plate glass." thing?"

Guo Ye proudly said: "Without Zhang Butcher, do we have to eat pigs with hair? Even if Mr. Deng takes refuge in you, I can still produce flat glass in my glass workshop. At that time, everyone will rely on their own means. What's the point? Negotiated?"

"Oh? Really? One thing you may not know... is the technology for producing flat glass. In fact, Mr. Deng has improved again."

Guo Ye's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Improvement? What improvement?"

Deng Qibin said proudly: "There are no major changes, but the production cost of flat glass has been reduced by half! Of course, this technology cannot be entrusted to you. I plan to use it in the workshop of Master Li."

Li Quandao: "Mr. Qin, you understand now. If it comes to the final price fight, your side will be completely defeated! But the old man is the most kind person, and he doesn't like to kill everyone. So, I come here today, and I want to have a fight with you." Agreement."

"What agreement?"

"The agreement is that you will reduce the current price by [-]%. In the future, we will sell flat glass at this price. If there is no price competition, I wonder what Qin Guogong thinks?"

At first glance, it sounds like Li Quan's request is really reasonable.As long as Guo Ye and the five great gentry join forces, they can monopolize the flat glass market.Everyone agrees on a price and makes money comfortably, isn't it much better than fighting a price war?

However, Guo Ye would not agree to this condition.

Again, Guo Ye is not short of money.There are too many places where he gets his money, and too few places where he spends it.Now his early pursuit is not to make money.

The five gentry clans have been conspiring against each other for a long time, how could Guo Ye cooperate with them for a little money?When the case of Monk Tianfu's treason comes to light, how will he explain his relationship with the five noble families to His Majesty Li Er?

Furthermore, the five noble families and Guo Ye had already had a deep hatred, and now they poached Deng Yangren.To say that they have sincerity to reconcile with Guo Ye, that is unless the sun came out from the west.

Obviously, the five major gentry are now using a strategy of slowing down their troops.

Guo Ye said: "Sorry, Master Li, I cannot agree to your request."

"Why can't you agree?"

"Because you don't have the qualifications to cooperate with me!" Guo Ye said contemptuously: "Who am I, Guo Ye? The official worships the Minister of Rites and Duke Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and you, a group of ordinary people, are you worthy of cooperating with me? "

These words are too detrimental, and make Li Quan and others worthless.In fact, not to mention these patriarchs, even the ordinary members of the five great noble families can laugh at princes and princes for their slowness.

To be able to marry the five great noble families, not to mention ordinary high-ranking officials and noble relatives, even His Majesty Li Er couldn't wish for it.It was Guo Ye, who traveled from later generations, who dismissed their so-called "Tsinghua Family" reputation.

Hearing this, Li Quan was so angry that he trembled all over, and said, "Good! Good! Good! Don't forget, in terms of the cost of producing flat glass, our five great gentry have a great advantage! If there is a real competition, you will suffer. !"

"Patriarch Li doesn't need to say too much, if you want to fight with someone Guo, just let him go!"

Li Quan cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, let's use our own means! Farewell!"

"Wait a minute!" Guo Ye quickly stopped them.

Chapter 1797

"Duke Qin regretted it again?"

"Of course I don't regret it. I want to have a private chat with Mr. Deng. I wonder if you can make it easier."

Deng Qibin waved his hands again and again, and said, "I've told you everything I need to say, and I don't think we have anything to talk about. In the words of your Tang Dynasty, from now on, we will cut off all ties!"

Guo Ye said sincerely: "I really can't give someone Guo a chance? No matter what benefits the Li family master has given you, I'm willing to pay three times the price to bring you back."

"It's not just about money." Deng Yangren shrugged his shoulders and said, "Compared to you, I believe in the reputation of Patriarch Li more. Qin Guogong, I'm sorry!"

Deng Qibin ate the weight and became determined, but Guo Ye was helpless.They could only watch him, Li Quan and others walk away.

After being so disturbed by them, no one will order plate glass anymore.

Li Quan's voice was quite loud just now. Everyone knows that the production cost of the five major noble families is much lower than that of Guo Ye, and the price of flat glass will definitely be reduced by then.Isn't it a fool to pay a deposit to buy at this time?

As a result, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the headquarters of Changlefang Big Bank resumed normal business.

Only then did Liang Shuyu ask what he had kept in his heart for a long time, and said, "Mr. Qin, the production cost of the five great gentry clans is half that of ours. Reaching an agreement with them is beneficial to both parties. Why did you refuse?"

"Didn't I make it clear just now?"

Liang Shuyu said: "Don't pretend, if they are not qualified to cooperate with you, then no one in the world is qualified! This is completely dodging. I am also a shareholder of Liuli Workshop. You have to deal with this matter." Tell me the truth."

Guo Ye said: "The matter is very simple, because this is a plan to slow down the troops of the five great gentry! Don't forget, in just a few months, we cheated them of more than 2000 million yuan. The five gentry have never been rich Famous, you know what that means?"

"You mean... they have no money?"

"The five great gentry clans are so powerful that it is impossible to say that they have no money at all. But now, they must be stretched and unable to move. Although we have suffered heavy losses in a price war with us, they can't bear it themselves. "

Liang Ershao's eyes lit up, and he said: "I understand. If we are an elephant, then they are just a dog now. Even if we bleed twice as much as them, the one who can't hold on first must be them!"
