Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Of course it's for our Liuli Workshop."

Cui Shaoze frowned, and said, "Liuli Workshop? Why are you mentioning Liuli Workshop? The cost of our Liuli Workshop is dozens of times lower than that of glass workshops. There is no way to compete!"

Li Quandao: "Brother Cui, you are wrong to think so. The reason why I gave up Liuli Workshop a few days ago is not because we can't compete with Guo Ye, but because there is no profit."

He paused, then continued: "A glass bowl costs a lot, how many glass bowls can Chang'an City sell in a year? Tens of thousands? Or 10,000+ pieces? I really don't like such a small business. I just gave up. It doesn't bother me either."

"Then why are you repeating the old story now?"

"Of course it's because the business has changed again now."

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Change? What's changed? Haven't you heard of it?"

Li Quandao: "I will introduce someone to everyone, and you will understand."

……

In front of the headquarters of Changlefang Big Bank, there were crowds of people surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

This is not because of any preferential activities in the bank, nor is it because of any bad news that people come to run.It was because of a notice with black letters on a red background.

A good-natured person read aloud: "This store is temporarily closed for a month due to renovation. If you need to deposit and withdraw money, please move to another branch. Sorry for the inconvenience."

As soon as his words fell, the crowd was in an uproar.

"What's going on? This house is pretty good, why is it going to be redecorated again? Is there something tricky?"

"Could it be that the Changlefang Big Bank couldn't sustain it anymore and closed down for an excuse? Oh, no, I still have more than a dozen coins in savings!" A short fat man said nervously.

Next to him was a man dressed as Mr. Wen Sheng, who chuckled lightly and said, "Just pull it down. Didn't they make it clear? If you need to deposit and withdraw money, you can go to another branch to handle it. Isn't it just a few more steps away?" ? How could it be as serious as you said?"

An old man chimed in and said, "This scholar is right! The business of Jiutian Yulu in Changlefang Daqianzhuang is so booming, it is wronged to say that it is making money every day. How could it go bankrupt? You are completely unfounded."

"In this case, why do you say that they have to decorate a good house? Isn't this a waste of money?"

"Uh...then I don't know. But I think that the owner of the Changlefang Big Bank can afford such a big business, and he must be smarter than us. There may be some deep meaning in this move."

But the old man rolled his eyes and said mysteriously: "I really know about this! Let me tell you, don't spread the word."

The short fat man was not stupid, he glanced around, and said, "There are so many people here, you want me to keep it a secret? I said, old man, don't be a fool, just say it, say it!"

"That's because the feng shui here is bad! That's why we have to go to war!"

"Fengshui is not good? No way! Now what business in Chang'an City can make more money than Changlefang Big Bank? If Fengshui is not good, then what is good?"

"The old man said so, of course there is a reason for the old man! Do you know what the glass bowl was like before?"

"Then I don't know, I can't afford it anyway."

"Tell you, it used to cost two hundred guan! What about now? It's less than ten guan! Think about it, glass bowls have been priced at two hundred guan for hundreds of years. Have you always had money??"

"What?"

"Feng Shui is not good!"

Someone next to him interjected: "What Feng Shui? It's completely nonsense! You just saw that they made less money on glass bowls, so how can you explain that Jiutian Yulu makes a lot of money?"

"I... I can't explain it. You think the old man is wrong, so tell me why Changlefang Daqianzhuang wants to renovate a good house?" The old man said angrily.

"Of course I know. Listen to me, there is too much money stored here, which attracts the envy of ghosts and gods. Many little ghosts go out to steal money! They are going to ask Taoist priests to set up formations and arrest those who steal money Where is the kid!"

"Nonsense! Let's not talk about whether there is a brat stealing money. Even if there is, why doesn't the brat steal other semicolons? Why doesn't the brat steal His Majesty's internal treasury?"

……

Everyone was clamoring and unable to agree on what to do, and no one could have a reasonable explanation for this matter, so they gradually dispersed.

But although the people are separated, the heart is not scattered!

Changlefang Big Bank is equivalent to a collection of the four major banks in later generations.How many people didn't save money in it?

How could people not care about such a big incident at its headquarters?

Ever since, all kinds of rumors about the big bank in Changlefang quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

Wait until the headquarters reopens.The several streets around Qianzhuang were already crowded with people.People want to see what it looks like after a month of renovations!

In the past month, it's not that no one wants to see the progress of the renovation.But Guo Ye had already made arrangements. The entire headquarters had been surrounded by curtains, and people couldn't see it even if they wanted to.

Today, I can finally feast my eyes.

At that time, it was almost noon.

A burst of crackling firecrackers passed, and Guo Ye, Chai Lingwen, and Liang Shuyu walked to the front of the bank.

Chai Lingwen clasped his hands together and said, "Fathers and elders, thank you for your concern for our Changlefang Big Bank. Many people are curious, why do we need to renovate our good house? Now I can tell him! That is, the original house is not good enough! "

The crowd was shocked and commotion, the voices of "Sao Bao" and "Prodigal Son" came one after another.

Chai Lingwen hurriedly lowered his hands, and said, "Don't get excited, everyone, we are not extravagant and wasteful people. This time, there are neither carved beams and painted buildings, nor decorated with gold and jade. It's just..."

He glanced around and said, "Please let me keep it a secret. Everyone knows everything. There are too many people coming today, we can only put 50 people in at a time, and each person can't stay for more than a quarter of an hour. Now, please open your eyes!"

Immediately, a few guys stepped forward and took down the covering curtain!

wow~~

The crowd suddenly seemed to be boiling!

No need to go in, just looking at it from a distance, people feel that today is not in vain.

I saw that the Qianzhuang was surrounded by countless windows.It's nothing, the most important thing is that each window is pasted neither paper nor gauze, but pieces of flat glass!

Under the sunlight, some glass reflects the light, which sets off the bank beautifully.

Have the people of Datang ever seen this?Suddenly there was an uproar!

Someone shouted loudly: "Crystal Palace! This is the Crystal Palace! Qin Guogong moved the Dragon King's Crystal Palace here!"

Chapter 1795 Betrayal

With the guidance of Guo Ye's scientific theory, Deng Qibin's research speed is really rapid.It didn't take long for the cost of glass to drop exponentially.

In the end, the cost of each glass bowl was reduced to about [-] Wen!Not only is the price lower, but the quality is far better than before.

It was with this confidence that Guo Ye used the glassware produced in his own workshop to replace the glassware that His Majesty Li Er had confiscated in the palace.Taking the opportunity to put Li Quan together.

Not only that, Deng Qibin also overfulfilled the task and invented flat transparent glass!
