"This kid is really black-hearted!"
This was Li Er's subconscious evaluation of Li Zexuan after hearing the price of the Immortal Mirror.
In his opinion, although the Immortal Mirror had an obvious advantage over the bronze mirror, the price of 8,888 was a bit excessive.
"Heh! Eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight? Qingque, is there anyone who wants to buy it at such a high price? "
Empress Zhangsun didn't comment and just asked with a smile.
"Of course, there are people who want to buy it at a higher price! I heard from Shopkeeper Sun of the Curious Pavilion that there are only two Immortal Mirrors of this size today. I didn't expect Xiao Xuan to give one to Mother. This kid is quite generous. "
The quick-witted little fatty guessed the origin of the Immortal Mirror after thinking for a while. He couldn't help but feel gratified.
"Heh! Then this kid will probably earn a lot today, right? I heard that the Curious Pavilion is going to sell a batch of colored glass cups and lamps today. Based on his character, the price will definitely not be cheap! "
Li Er pinched his chin and said softly.
"Isn't that just enough to alleviate that child's urgent needs? I just don't know if Xiao Xuan can make up for all the money he needs to build the college! "
Empress Zhangsun was worried about Li Zexuan.
"Heh! That's hard to say! No one knows how much money that kid has! "
"Father, as far as I know, Xiao Xuan's family can take out 150,000 strings of cash now, but he needs at least 500,000 strings of cash to build Yanhuang College! He's still thinking of ways to raise the remaining 350,000 strings of cash! Today's big move by the Curious Pavilion is probably one of his measures to raise money! "
When Li Tai heard this, he jumped out and exposed Li Zexuan's past.
"So much?"
This was the first time Li Chengqian heard that Li Zexuan was short of money. He frowned, then cupped his hands at Li Er and said, "Father, I think that even if the Curious Pavilion launches so many things today, they won't be able to raise 350,000 strings of cash in a short time. Yanhuang College is beneficial to our Tang Empire, and its construction can't be delayed. I implore Father to give Xiao Xuan some support! "
Li Er raised his eyebrows and waved his hand.
"Chengqian, as the heir to the throne, how can you act so emotionally? Not to mention that the Chang 'an Local Government has no extra money, even if the national treasury is full, do you think I can use my imperial power to seek personal gains and allocate money to Li Zexuan? The way to be a ruler is to maintain balance. The emergence of Yanhuang College already has the tendency to break the current balance. If I were to openly give him money, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction. Then I wouldn't be helping him, I would be harming him! Do you understand? "
Li Chengqian suddenly understood that there were so many twists and turns in such a simple matter. He hurriedly bowed and accepted the lesson.
"I understand! I will remember Imperial Father's teachings! "
Li Tai's eyes flashed and he nodded imperceptibly.
"Also, how do you know that this kid doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve? I think the only person in this world who won't be troubled by money is Li Zexuan!"
Li Er smiled mysteriously and said with certainty.
…
As the "old fox" at the top of the food chain in the Empire, Li Er's guess was not wrong. Li Zexuan certainly had tricks up his sleeve. Using colored glass to make money was just a natural move. Even without the matter of the Academy, he would have launched these colored glass products. His most important trump card was cement. The cost of cement was dozens of times cheaper than glutinous rice mortar!
Therefore, even if the Curious Pavilion could not raise 35 strings of cash, he was not worried at all.
He was listening to Sun Huaiyuan's report on the latest sales of the Curious Pavilion and was secretly delighted!
"Seventy-eight thousand and two hundred strings of cash? Haha! If that's the case, our Curious Pavilion's sales today is likely to exceed 100,000 strings of cash! "
Li Zexuan said happily after listening to Sun Huaiyuan's report.
It was noon, so 100,000 strings of cash was estimated to be very conservative. 100,000 strings of cash in a day, what kind of concept was that? That was eighty million copper coins! In the future, he could brag to others and say:
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't waste my time. I'm a man who can earn tens of thousands of copper coins in minutes! Can you afford to waste my time? "
Hehe! It was quite satisfying to think about it.
"It's very possible! At this rate, it's very likely that the goods we prepared today will be sold out! Young master, the colored glass cup, the colored glass cup, and the Immortal Mirror are really too profitable! I think that our workshop can stop all other work and focus on producing these three items! In this way, in less than a year, you will become the richest man in the Tang Empire! "
Sun Huaiyuan was shocked by the huge profits of the colored glass products today. At this moment, he excitedly expressed his thoughts to Li Zexuan.
In his opinion, compared to the Immortal Mirror, the colored glass cup, and the colored glass cup, the other products of the workshop were all rubbish. It was better to abandon them and focus on producing these three products.
Li Zexuan shook his head and said:
"That won't do! Shopkeeper Sun, don't think that these three items are expensive now. In the future, when we sell more of them, the price of the Immortal Mirror, the colored glass cup, and the colored glass cup will drop rapidly. After all, these items are considered luxury goods to the people of the Tang Empire. The reason why luxury goods are expensive is because they are rare. As the saying goes, the rarer something is, the more expensive it is. When we sell more of them, they won't be as rare as before. Therefore, today's grand occasion will be very rare in the future. The other projects of the workshop must not be stopped. Technology is the foundation of our Strange Taste Pavilion! "
Li Zexuan was originally an engineer. He knew the importance of technological innovation to the long-term development of a company. If he lost the motivation to innovate for the sake of immediate profits, the company would not be far from death.
The current industrial technology of the Strange Taste Pavilion was far ahead of this era. He could not give up at this time.
Sun Huaiyuan heard this and thought seriously. Then, he clasped his hands and said: "Young master has great foresight and great foresight. This Sun admires you. It seems that this old man was too focused. I'm not as calm as young master. I'm ashamed!"
"Haha! Shopkeeper Sun, you're too humble! Actually, you've already done very well! With the Strange Taste Pavilion in your hands, I'm completely at ease. "
Speaking logically, Sun Huaiyuan's ability in business was not bad. Li Zexuan had always thought highly of him.
Sun Huaiyuan was flattered and said: "Many thanks for young master's trust!"
"Haha! Shopkeeper Sun, you should go eat ~! I should also go back now! "
Li Zexuan happily waved his hand and left. With such a large sum of money coming into his account, he did not need to worry about money for a while. The next step was to see if Faubert's side would be able to support him. Wang Zhong's side had already recruited more than five thousand craftsmen and laborers. In two days, they would have to start work. When the time came, they would have to use glutinous rice mortar. At worst, they would have to wait until the research on cement was done. After all, there were more than ten thousand workers.
