Chapter 151 Quickly return to the palace

As soon as Chen Laitou said the simple three words, the whole hall suddenly burst into laughter, and the prince-in-law Gong Yonggu laughed even more.

Only Wei Guangwei pretended to be reserved and silent. He knew that His Majesty was watching from above, so he was not good at ridiculing Chen Lai Tou, but his eyes were obviously not good.

What did you do when you send a mirror to imply that Mr. Wei should not be confused about fame and fortune, and should you look in the mirror to reflect on it at that time?

Chen Laitou ignored the mockery of these people. He carefully placed his silver mirror on the desk table, uncovered the silk cloth, and pointed at the silver mirror:

"This is the latest new mirror developed by Xiaguan. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. The back is made of a unit-priced silver coating, and the front is made of glass, which is a transparent glass. It is the latest success of the Royal Academy of Engineering. By replacing the iron through redox, you get this."

Everyone was quiet at this time, and no one could understand what the fifth-rank official was talking about. What they were staring at now was the silver mirror that could clearly reflect their appearance.

Boss Long touched his face and couldn't help but sigh that he had gained weight again, and the playboy, Shang Bao Sicheng, also said intimately:

"I am so ugly that I don't seem to be worthy of the second lady in my hometown."

Wei Guangwei smiled knowingly, looked at Gong Yonggu and then at Chen Laitou. When he thought that the silver mirror was produced by the Royal Academy of Engineering, and now that His Majesty has come to see it in person, he roughly understood His Majesty’s true thoughts.

"Today's treasure, this thing is the most unique but practical, and is necessary for the daughter to dress up."

Wei Guangwei said and asked the prince-consort Gong Yonggu: "What does Gong Gong think of this treasure?"

Gong Yonggu pretended to be dull and touched the diamond-shaped silver mirror, and said staggeringly: "It's true that I have never heard of it, and I have never seen it. Gong has lived in vain for decades. Only today can I know that such a mirror can be created in the world. Look, my white hair has been reflected."

Some of the famous merchants next to him came over. Even if they didn't care, they felt extraordinary when Gong Madam Gong brags about it.

When Gong Yonggu saw that these people were nodding repeatedly, and someone had already secretly considered the value of the silver mirror and was still muttering whether it was 100 taels or 200 taels, he couldn't help but smile and hurriedly said to Chen Laitou: "Brother, how much is this kind of mirror worth? This prince-in-law bought it together."

"Five hundred taels!"

Chen Laitou reported a number as Gong Yonggu said in advance, and looked around with some anxiety. You should know that his cost was less than ten taels of silver.

"Okay, just how much goods do you have?" Gong Yonggu asked again.

"What the Xiaguan is doing is a royal business, with a large scale and many craftsmen. You can build as much as you want," Chen Laitou answered him according to Gong Yonggu's pre-arrangement.

After hearing this, Gong Yonggu couldn't help but think, then slapped the table and showed a sly smile: "Then, brother Chen, my son-in-law intends to buy you a batch of silver mirrors and send them to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to sell them, but I don't have the principal now. I will use this 5,000 taels as a deposit to order your 100 mirrors. Tomorrow, I will send someone to send the silver."

"Yes, since that's the case, we can only accept more than one hundred facets of goods, and the deposit must be one tenth of the total price." Chen Laitou said this, some famous merchants who had the idea of ​​doing this business with Chen Laitou couldn't help but shake their heads, and they all secretly blamed the prince-consort for the price of the silver mirror. In other words, if they want to make money from this mirror, the purchase price alone is 500 taels, so the merchants naturally cannot set too high for selling goods, which will reduce the trading space. But now the purchase price is dying, if they do this business, the profit will drop a little.

However, this is profitable and may be huge profits, otherwise the prince-consort would not be so anxious.

At this time, Master Wei also cooperated and said, "I also need a hundred more small deals. Zhou Rui, go and tell Qi'er, get 50,000 taels of silver notes to give to Mr. Chen, and we will pay it in one lump sum."

"The Master Ge is so generous," said Boss Long, and bowed to Chen Lai Tou, "This master has invited me. The student has to order three hundred faces. This is a stack of silver notes, which should be about one hundred thousand. I will pay this part first. The remaining students will send someone to make up for it. Please leave your mansion's location."

Chen Laitou left the address of the Royal Industrial Company and took the silver notes. At this time, several other giant merchants and prominent people were afraid of missing out on this opportunity to make a fortune. Seeing that everyone else was booking, they hurriedly paid to book. Some got 10,000 or 20,000, and some got several thousand. However, after being affected, Chen Laitou's silver notes were enough to reach the thickness of the city wall bricks.

Chen Laitou didn't expect that he would receive so much money before he could even sell half of the silver mirror. He couldn't help but look at Gong's concubine and thought that Gong's concubine was indeed capable.

...

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile, thinking that Gong Yonggu was really the pearl left over from the long river of history. This kind of half-coaxing and half-making business method can be regarded as a successful marketing expert in later generations.

Seeing Xu Fo laughing next to him, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Why are you laughing at?"

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I don't laugh at me. I just think these rich and powerful tycoons are a little stupid. I still don't understand that this son-in-law and that Mr. Chen are in the same group." After Xu Fo answered, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look at Xu Fo a few times and couldn't help saying: "That's because they are obsessed with greed. They only know that this silver mirror is sold for money, but they forgot to observe the world and people's hearts."

Zhu Youxiao said that, then asked Xu Fo again: "Who was the one who was going to order two hundred silver mirrors just now?"

"Lin Bozhi, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, a wealthy family. His brother was a big tea merchant, and his annual business volume was around 3 million taels." After Xu Fo answered, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Who is the person called Boss Long?"

"Students from the school in Jiangyin County, Nanzhili, abandoned school and went to business after failing the provincial examinations. Now he has become a first-class salt merchant and has always spent money like soil."

Zhu Youxiao asked a few more people, and when he saw Xu Fo could answer them one by one, he was very satisfied with her memory.

At this moment, a melodious sound of piano suddenly came outside the house. After taking a few sips of tea, Zhu Youxiao felt that the sound of piano was very charming. Suddenly, he felt that the fragrance in the house became stronger, and when he saw Xu Fo's face, he felt that she became more beautiful.

"Let's go, go back to the palace immediately!" Zhu Youxiao stood up and hurriedly walked out, but his face turned red obviously.

At this time, the woman who looked three points more beautiful than Xu Fo suddenly walked over with Qin in her arms and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Little woman Wei Min'er, please pay tribute to Your Majesty!"

Wang Chengen, who was walking in the front, stopped when he saw that a girl was blocking the front, but Zhu Youxiao was furious: "Why are you still standing there? Go back to the palace quickly!"
Chapter completed!
