Zhu Youxiao walked slowly to the two of them, patted them on the shoulders and said, "I will not let you work in vain if you let you run the Royal Industrial Company. Gong Yonggu is already the son-in-law, so he will take the false position of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I will take charge of this Royal Industrial Company for me. In addition to the annual salary, I will give you a share of one of the Royal Industrial Company. Your own industry will also be invested in and get one of the ten out of ten. How about it?

Chen Laitou, your family didn’t have much money before, and I don’t want you to invest money in it. You can invest in it with your technology, and your share is half less than that of Gong’s Madam. In addition, based on your Hanlin Academy’s review, you will add the title of Ministry of Revenue’s Officer.”

Gong Yonggu was already confused when he saw the bright and beautiful silver mirror when he came in and thought to himself that if His Majesty asked him to sell this thing, he would definitely make a big profit, but he did not expect His Majesty to really hand it over to him.

Gong Yonggu was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

But Gong Yonggu was reluctant to leave his business worth more than 100,000 yuan, but thinking that he would only make a lot of profits from being a royal businessman in the future, he was still happy, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will do this after I go back."

Technology invested? Chen Laitou was also a little stupid when he heard this word, but after thinking a little, he felt that His Majesty meant that his glassmaking skills could be divided into the money of the workshop called Royal Industrial Company.

Chen Lai Tou, who seemed to understand, still didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, because His Majesty never gave him a silver reward. He still remembered that Old Man Li received a lot of silver rewards when he sent the Apocalypse Flintlock Spear process, and his grade was also upgraded to the fifth grade. Now His Majesty not only did not give him silver rewards, but also did not upgrade his official position.

However, when he heard Zhu Youxiao asks him to take the title of Ministry of Revenue as a member of the Ministry of Revenue, he smiled and hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao said to Gong Yonggu again: "The key to whether this Royal Industrial Company makes money or not is not me. The key is how much glass and silver mirrors can be made by Chen Laitou and his men, and how good it can be made. So you can't despise others just because you are the prince-in-law. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Gong Yonggu naturally knew that the key to these businesses was the work of craftsmen. After nodding, he said: "Your Majesty, since you want to do business, you have to choose the ground. In the eyes of Weichen, it is located on East Chang'an Street in Damingmen. There are many merchants coming and going, and it is close to where the dignitaries live. What we do mainly is to sell to merchants, and then sell some of the best to the officials in Beijing."

"You make the decision on these yourself. How much is the starting capital? You can go to Wang Chengen and get it from my own treasury first." As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Gong Yonggu bowed and said, "Your Majesty has given me such great wealth. How can I ask Your Majesty for your money? I heard from the people in the palace that you are not easy now, so let me pay this amount of money by myself. Moreover, I estimate that it does not take much, ten thousand is enough, and I promise to use ten thousand silver to make millions of deals."

Chen Lai Tou couldn't help but look at the prince-consort. Although he didn't understand business, he was not stupid, nor did he believe that anyone could make millions of deals with ten thousand silver. He couldn't help but think that this prince-consort would be stupid after drinking, so he would speak big words in front of His Majesty.

Zhu Youxiao was also surprised. He was sure that these glass silver mirrors could make money, but he was a little curious about what Gong Yonggu said to have to make millions of taels for ten thousand taels, so he asked with a smile: "Take it seriously, don't lie in front of me."

"I dare not make mistakes before Your Majesty. Every word I say is true. If you cannot do it, your Majesty will take the head of the nickname."

After Gong Yonggu said confidently, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then asked the two to step down and start preparing for the opening of the Royal Industrial Glass Factory.

As soon as Gong Yonggu and Chen Laitou left the palace, they began to prepare for the establishment of the Royal Industrial Glass Factory.

Chen Laitou has fully mastered the process and technology of making glass and silver mirrors, but the biggest problem now is that there are not enough craftsmen, because once the transaction is started, the amount required will definitely be a lot. So Chen Laitou immediately went to the Royal Academy of Engineering to gather his team of craftsmen, and went to the technical school under the Royal Academy of Engineering to recruit apprentices. At the same time, he had to establish the address of the workshop. As for the silver for recruiting apprentices and buying land to build a factory, Gong Yonggu gave it.

Gong Yonggu not only paid the money but also immediately sold his property and went to East Chang'an Street to select a factory site and store.

Early this morning, Gong Yonggu sent someone to carry a sedan chair to invite Chen Laitou to his mansion. This was the first time Chen Laitou was invited by such a royal relative, which caused a lot of sensation on the civilian street where he lived.

When Chen Laitou arrived at Gong Yonggu's son-in-law's mansion, Gong Yonggu told him that the store had been selected and was waiting for Chen Laitou to make glass and silver mirrors. When Chen Laitou asked how many glass and silver mirrors he needed to make first, Gong Yonggu said he didn't know and said to Chen Laitou:

"If you do business in the capital, you must first establish a good relationship with the powerful people in the capital, so we should not rush to create it now. No one knows how many glass and silver mirrors are needed. We have to visit the powerful families first."

"Visit?" Chen Laitou didn't quite understand what Gong Yonggu meant, but thought that it was his son-in-law Gong Yonggu who boasted in front of His Majesty that he was Gong Yonggu, not himself. Since the son-in-law was not in a hurry, he didn't have to worry. He asked casually and said, "The powerful people of all sizes in the capital are caught and cannot visit them all. If this happens, what year will it take to start the business."

"Of course, we can't visit them one by one, but the following families must be managed. First, the Sili Supervisor is the chief of the imperial court. This emperor is the head of all officials in the inner court. If you want to open up the situation in this capital, you cannot be without the support of the inner court. Second, the chief minister of the cabinet, Wei Ge Lao and Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, they are in charge of the outer court and have to clear the situation. Third, the royal court of Shuntian Prefecture, who is in charge of the local snake here, and has to cure these powerful families, the business will be easier."

After hearing Gong Yonggu say this, Chen Laitou felt it was reasonable and nodded, "These men naturally have to go to visit. We are doing our jobs for Your Majesty, and they will not be too embarrassed. Now the important thing we have to book how many glass and silver mirrors we have to make first, and the price must be set first, so that we can sell them directly. Don't forget, you boast about Haikou in front of His Majesty that you have to trade millions of dollars for ten thousand taels."

Gong Yonggu couldn't help laughing: "Chen Hanlin, I won't hide it from you. I've spent 10,000 taels."

"What!" Chen Laitou looked at Gong Yonggu in surprise, but Gong Yonggu smiled calmly: "You spent 1,400 taels on recruiting apprentices, prepaid wages for craftsmen and buying land. I went to recruit mailmen and sweep the craftsmen and purchased the store myself for more than 1,000 taels. The remaining 2,000 taels were bought for Mr. Wei."

As he said that, Gong Yonggu asked someone to bring the gift and said, "Ge Lao Wei is good at painting, and this original work of Fan Kuan's "Traveling in the Streams" by Song Dynasty Fan Kuan, which I obtained for two thousand taels, is probably going to be able to reach Ge Lao's eyes."

Chen Laitou didn't understand why this Prince Gong did this. He really couldn't believe that the Prince Gong spent half of his 10,000 taels to do only these things, and he was so calm.

When Zhu Youxiao heard about it, he was also very surprised and asked Wu Jin from the East Factory: "What else did this Prince Gong do besides giving Chen Laitou a painting?"

"I didn't do anything. Gong's wife just asked Chen Lai Tou to take this painting and choose a more refined silver mirror to attend the wedding of Mr. Wei's wife taking the seventh room concubine," Wu Jin replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing and asked, "I remember the censor impeached Mr. Wei Ge Lao to marry a concubine. Do you know what time did Mr. Wei marry me?"

"I found out clearly, it's the third day of April," Wu Jin replied.

"Okay, the third day of the April 3rd, it's just a few days. I'll send an order to Wei Guangwei. I'll attend his wedding in vain so that he won't be allowed to go out, but I'm not allowed to hold the wedding in a low-key manner just because I'm taking a concubine, and I'll have to be as glorious as the chief minister." Zhu Youxiao immediately said to Wu Jin.

Wu Jin responded, "Yes!" and withdrew from Qianqing Palace.
