Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1950

"That's the reason. Li Quan's most important thing now is time. He wants to use the flat glass business to transform himself from a dirt dog into a big fat pig. But I just don't give him this opportunity! The disease will kill him!"

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if we do this, our glass workshop will suffer heavy losses, and the two elder brothers will also suffer from unwarranted disasters. How about this, all the losses of the glass workshop in the future will be calculated on my head alone superior."

"No!" Chai Lingwen and Liang Shuyu said in unison.

"Why not? The perfume and soap business is very good now, making money every day. As long as a part of the profit is used, it can completely make up for the deficit of the glass workshop."

"It's your business that you have money, but the glass workshop is the business of the three of us, how can you lose money one by one?"

Guo Ye said: "You should stop arguing with me. Strictly speaking, the grievances between me and the five great noble families have nothing to do with you..."

To put it bluntly, it took a lot of effort for Guo Ye to get Chai and Liang to agree to his idea.

The reason why he did this was of course not because he was rich and powerful, but because he knew very well that the relationship between friends must be maintained.

It's easy to talk about making money all the time, and I believe these two friends can accept the temporary loss.

However, the business war with the five great gentry may not determine how much money will be lost, or how long it will be lost.Pulling good friends to lose money together, after a long time, even the best friendship will have cracks.

This can be regarded as he has learned the lesson of Deng Qibin's betrayal.

……

A month later, the flat glass workshops of the five noble families also opened!Their price is very accurate, directly half of the price quoted by Changlefang Big Bank.

This is close to Guo Ye's cost line!

But Guo Ye did not show any weakness, and immediately adjusted the price to one-fifth of the original price!The five great gentry could only follow suit.

This price has been maintained for half a year.

In fact, such a price is already very low. Installing a glass window costs only two hundred guan, which is affordable by most families.

And this is different from glass bowls. No matter rich or poor, people have one mouth and don't need many glass bowls.

But for glass windows, ordinary families have limited financial resources and can only install one or two.And those wealthy businessmen and nobles wished that if conditions permitted, glass windows would be installed everywhere.

Without him, compared with screen windows and paper windows, the advantages of glass windows are too great.

All of a sudden, the number of glass windows in a home has become the standard for measuring a person's wealth.

Under such circumstances, whether it is the glass workshops of the five noble families or the big bank of Changlefang, both production and sales are booming.Seeing this situation, Guo Ye was very satisfied, and his only regret was losing money!

How much is the flat glass sold for, and his loss figure is more than twice this figure!

In just half a year, Guo Ye lost nearly ten million pennies!If it weren't for the profits from the perfume and soap workshops, he wouldn't be able to hold on!

However, Qin Guogong, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, felt a lot of pressure, so how did the five noble families survive?

Not to mention the cost of building a flat glass workshop.Selling flat glass alone, they now have to lose nearly 200 million.

Why does it look like the five great gentry still have more than enough power?Guo Ye was puzzled.He wondered in his heart, could it be that he didn't think carefully about something?

At this moment, Qian Dakai, the undercover agent he sent to Wude Bank, sent him a message to answer his doubts.

It turned out that Deng Qibin hadn't told the truth at all.

The new technology he invented did not cut the cost of flat glass by half, but by three quarters.

In fact, in the past six months, not only did the five great noble families not lose a penny, but they also made a lot of money!

Not only that, Qian Dakai also told Guo Ye that the five noble families built several new glass workshops with the money they earned.I believe that it won't be long before the output of the five major clans can be quadrupled!

Hearing this news, Guo Ye wished he could slap himself two big mouths!How stupid I was back then, to believe what the betrayer said!

One careless move and everything is lost!

Now that the five great gentry have regained a lot of vitality, it will be too difficult to suppress them any more. What should we do?

One person counts short, two counts long.Guo Ye called Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao to discuss countermeasures together.

After hearing this, Chai Lingwen took a deep breath and said, "I can't think of a countermeasure, but I have to remind you of one thing. This is just the beginning, and more difficult situations are yet to come!"

"How do you say this?"

"Don't forget, Deng Qibin is a genius who studies glass. If he had reduced the cost of flat glass by so much half a year ago, what about now? What is the real cost of the five noble families?"

Thinking of this question, Guo Ye is really the first and the second big.With Deng Qibin in hand, the five great noble families are almost invincible.

He said: "Then what should we do? Do we just admit defeat?"

Liang Shuyu smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid that's the only way to go. It turned out that we were bullying the five major gentry families for lack of funds. But now they have regained their vitality. The production cost is much lower than ours. If this conflict continues, I am afraid that the first thing that cannot be sustained is we."

Guo Ye shook his head again and again, and said, "No way! I will never admit defeat! There must be a way, everyone, think about it carefully."

Chai Lingwen smiled wryly and said, "Obviously, there are only two ways to solve the current predicament. The first way is to find another person like Deng Qibin and reduce the cost of the flat glass workshop!"

Guo Ye shook his head again and again, and said: "You still have to say this method? If I can find it, why should I worry about it? Forget it, you should talk about the second method."

"The second way is to continue to lower prices! But in that case, the perfume and soap business alone cannot maintain a balance of payments. Unless we find another business that makes a lot of money."

Guo Ye smiled wryly: "This method is not reliable. I have already told Deng Yangren all the basic knowledge I know. What he can't research, I even..."

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "Yes! It seems that there is such a business!"

Chapter 1798 The magic mirror, the magic mirror, tell me

In the Ganlu Hall, the sound of the piano is long, and the cigarettes are curling up.

Empress Changsun sat on the phoenix seat in brocade clothes and a crown, graceful and elegant, luxurious and dignified.

Anyone who sees her will have to give a thumbs up, what a motherly and graceful empress!

However, they could never imagine that under the quiet and dignified expression of Empress Changsun, there was a heart of self-pity and self-harm hidden.

How long has it been since you and Your Majesty have seen each other?Half a month?Or a month?

It's been a long time and I can't remember clearly.

Why doesn't he come to see me?

Before, it could be explained by poor health and reluctance to get close to women.

But now?Since quitting those pills, I heard that his health has improved greatly.In the past few days, I have even played and sang with a few prodigal sons every night.

Is it so difficult that I am really old and my beauty is not as good as before?But the women in the palace are all handpicked by themselves, even if their looks are gone, they are still much better than those bitches!

Or is it that His Majesty likes the new and dislikes the old, and is bored with himself?
