As Li Qi himself said, he is here today only to introduce glass, and nothing else. However, this introduction can be said to be a shock to the past. No one has ever dared to introduce it from a world perspective.
To introduce a product.(
After the introduction, Li Qi came down from the stage and handed the scene back to Xiaoyu.
It was just the applause caused by his stepping down that made Xiaoyu stand stupidly on the stage for a long time.
After Li Qi finished his speech, glass suddenly became a veritable protagonist. Various glass-related products were listed on the exhibition stand for guests to view, inquire, and understand.
...
"Haha, the Privy Councilor is really capable of what others can't do. There are two worlds under the glass. This statement is so novel and bold, but it is also very interesting. I was fascinated by it just now."
When Cai Jing saw Li Qi coming over, he stroked his long beard and laughed.
I hope you won't be entranced by what you said in the office. Li Qi handed over his hands to several elders and said, "The grand master is laughing at me. I, the juniors, are just telling the truth."
Bai Shizhong joked about his son-in-law: "Don't be humble. Telling the truth is not your method. You are very good at telling lies."
That makes sense!
These unscrupulous old guys all laughed, and even Bai Qiannuo hid aside and snickered.
Day! Are you my father-in-law? Li Qi secretly muttered, but there is no way, whoever is standing here is his elder.
After laughing, Cai Jing glanced around and said, "Okay, don't greet us. Go and greet other people."
This is the first time that Li Qi has appeared in front of these foreign guests. Although Li Qi is not an economic envoy and has no obligation to meet them, everyone knows about Li Qi's status in the Song Dynasty and everyone wants to compete with them.
Li Qiduo made many contacts. The cunning Cai Jing didn't understand, so he didn't want to waste the precious time of the foreign guests. Instead, he went to the booth with Wang Zhongling and others to appreciate the magic brought by the glass.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Qi said goodbye to Cai Jing and others, the foreign guests swarmed in and surrounded Li Qi, praising and asking questions like stars holding the moon.
Qin Hui, who was not far away, looked at all this, with a hint of helplessness on his face. In terms of economics, he knew that he was not at the same level as Li Qi, but having said that, he was actually very good in this aspect.
, but compared to Li Qi, it is still far behind. After all, the difference is more than 900 years.
These foreign guests talked around Li Qi, and they all concluded that the price of glass was too high.
How can I steal your money if you are not high? In business, kindness to others is cruelty to yourself. Li Qi pressed his hands and said: "Everyone, listen to me, listen to me."
The foreign guests listened immediately and looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi let out a long sigh.
As soon as everyone saw him, they immediately had the urge to curse. This was not the first time for many of them to deal with Li Qi. They had seen this sigh too many times, and they all knew that this was a way to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Li Qi looked at their eyes. He was also thinking about whether he should change his approach, but he still said helplessly: "To be honest, everyone, the price is so high, I do it all for your sake."
Sure enough.
This trick was so common that the foreign guests were depressed.
A food envoy wondered: "Why did the Privy Council say this?"
Li Qi said very sincerely: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Even if I only reduce the price by 10%, nothing will happen to you, because I, the wealthy businessman of the Song Dynasty, will definitely round up the glass until you come.
Now, I can only feel envious and jealous.
Of course, of course, this is not your fault, but my fault. It is our incompetence in Zuixianju. We can only make so many glass products this year. We cannot think of more, which leads to crazy buying outside. Everyone
If you don’t believe it, you can ask. When the glass cups were first launched, they were all sold out in less than an hour.
Why? There is only one reason, that is, there are too few goods and there are too many people in demand. This thing is somewhat expensive. If I sell it a little cheaper, no matter how many goods I produce in Zuixianju every day, it will be sold out on the same day."
As he spoke, he shook his head again and said: "This is nothing. What's even more disgusting is that some people buy the glass at a low price and then sell it at a high price. This is cheating customers. This is my drunken fairy.
I can't tolerate it. After all, this is related to the reputation of my Zuixianju. If I don't do this, when you come here this year, I, Zuixianju, won't have any goods, and the price on the market must be even more expensive than now. I believe
You don’t want to see this happen either.”
Those foreign guests looked at me and I looked at each other, but they were speechless. There didn't seem to be much difference between the prices you raised and those raised by others.
Li Qi continued to cheat: "Also, the cost of this glass is very high, because the success rate in the production process is very low. A finished product is built on countless inferior products, and there are taxes. The taxes on glass are high.
It’s very outrageous. After all, I haven’t earned anything at all.”
You don’t make any money?
Ghosts believe it.
But those foreign guests had also received the news that the tax on glass would be unprecedentedly high, which they did not understand. One person asked: "May I ask the Privy Council why the tax on glass is so high? Are you still a first-class official?"
Member."
Li Qi sighed: "You don't know. The reason is because I am a first-class official. Everyone knows that this glass can make money. Some people with sinister intentions are naturally jealous. Why do I make all the benefits alone? So they
They obstructed me in every possible way. At the beginning, they were planning to force me to hand over the secret recipe of the glass and hand over the glass to the imperial court for exclusive sale. I won’t talk about these people. If I talk too much, I will shed tears. They are all political matters."
I cursed in my heart, the most cunning one is that bastard Zhao Kai, he wants 70% of my profit in one breath, it's so fucking stupid.
"really?"
The foreign guests were very surprised. It turned out that the process involved was very tortuous. Of course they knew that the people Li Qi pointed out were probably his enemies in the court. This was normal and made sense, so they didn't have too many questions.
of doubt.
"Isn't it?" Li Qi said with tears in his eyes: "This glass is like my child, how could I give it away easily? I am begging grandpa and suing grandma. Fortunately, I still have some merits, and the emperor thinks of it.
I have dedicated my life to the country, so I am opening up a little bit, but this tax is definitely unavoidable. You judge, I just want to make some money to support my family, is it easy for me?"
Those foreign guests originally wanted to unite and put pressure on Li Qi to make the price cheaper, but they didn't know that they didn't even say it, but instead asked Li Qi to pour out his bitterness. What is this?
Sample! Want me to lower the price? Just dream. Li Qi glanced at them secretly and said: "But if you really think the price is too expensive, there is nothing you can do."
"any solution?"
"wait."
"wait?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why the price is high now is because our Zuixianju cannot achieve large-scale production due to limited technology, and the quantity is extremely limited. Once large-scale mass production is possible, the price will definitely drop."
Quite a few. You can wait until then to sell them."
When the foreign guests heard this, all of them had sad expressions on their faces, and they all thought, it's not easy for us to come here. How can we afford to wait?
It turned out that when they went back last year, Bai Qiannuo all gave them some glass products. After they returned home, they quickly gave them to their king. Their king saw it and couldn't put it down. It was a treasure, so he asked them to buy in large quantities this year.
Glass products are coming back. But who would have known that this year has passed and the price of glass has increased countless times, which makes people heartbroken.
Li Qi knew it well and said: "If you really like glass, just buy less, but since we are all acquaintances, I have to remind you that these glass products are extremely limited, especially those glasses.
And mirrors, if they are sold out this year, they will have to wait until next year."
Listen to those foreign guests, it's okay. If they don't get glass products this year, they won't be scolded to death when they go back. They have to place orders quickly. As soon as these words came out, they left with various uses and rushed to talk to Xiaoyu.
Purchase matters.
Li Qi felt gusts of strong wind blowing past him. When he opened his eyes, his surroundings were already empty. Just as he was about to laugh triumphantly, he found that there were two people standing beside him, none other than Tenki Miki and Iga Momokawa.
His heart was like a bright mirror, he cupped his hands and said in a cheerful tone: "Old friend, you're fine."
The two of them returned a big gift, and their fiery gazes reflected only one word, and that was - a date?
Li Qi said in a low voice: "This is not a place to discuss business matters. I will host a banquet for you two at my house tomorrow. Let's discuss it in detail then, okay?"
Of course Tengji and Iga would not be stupid enough to discuss official matters with Li Qi here. This sentence from Li Qi is what they want. Tengji Miki said with a chuckle: "Then I won't disturb the Privy Councilor."
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Where, where, my old friend came from afar, and I, Li Qi, failed to entertain me well." But in his heart, he was thinking that he must get these things settled before the Chinese New Year, otherwise he would really have nothing to say this year.
Teng Ji and Iga had already achieved their goal, so they did not disturb Li Qi. The three of them exchanged casual greetings and then left.
Before Li Qi could take a breath, he suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve from behind. When he turned around to look, he couldn't help but shudder.
He saw two idiots, Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu, looking at him with resentful eyes.
This is too cautious. Li Qi drew his head back and said cautiously: "What do you two do?"
Gao Yanei rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "Sell me a pair of clairvoyance. Money is not an issue, and we don't ask for much. We can share one pair."
Hong Tianjiu nodded his head while pecking at the rice.
Li Qi snorted and said: "You two come here, I don't know you yet. You only have one purpose for having clairvoyance, which is to spy on those young women taking a bath."
Gao Yanei was shocked and said: "How did you know---Uh-huh."
After all, they were a golden partner. Hong Tianjiu covered Gao Yanei's mouth in time and hurriedly said to Li Qi: "Brother misunderstood, we are going to use it for hunting."
Gao Yanei nodded fiercely and said: "Yes, yes, hunting, hunting."
Li Qi was amused by these two idiots and said: "To kill your sister, you only need your cheap skills and clairvoyance. You can shoot accurately with your eyes closed."
Gao Yanei smiled proudly and said: "That's true."
"Then it's over." Li Qi opened his hands and said, "Everyone of these clairvoyants must be registered with the court. If you want it, fine, go and talk to the emperor. I'll excuse you now."
