The next day, Hu Changan arrived at the largest porcelain workshop in Yingtian City very early.
Although the porcelain workshop of the Ministry of Industry was of relatively high standard, it was still not large enough to provide Hu Changan with enough porcelain fragments.
To pave such a long road, a large number of porcelain fragments are needed.
So, Hu Changan was ready to try his luck here.
After explaining his purpose, Hu Changan was quickly introduced to the steward of the porcelain workshop.
Looking at the manager of the porcelain workshop sitting opposite, Hu Changan took a sip of tea and said solemnly: "My surname is Hu, and I am the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. You can just call me Mr Hu."
"I am here this time to purchase porcelain fragments from you on behalf of the government."
"No matter how many pieces of porcelain there are, we will accept them all."
When the steward heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
This is a great thing!
Their porcelain workshop produces a lot of porcelain every day.
As more porcelain is produced, there will naturally be more porcelain fragments.
They always disposed of these porcelain fragments as garbage.
I didn’t expect that there would be such an unjust person now, coming to buy porcelain fragments from them?
At that moment, the steward started to think carefully.
Looking at Hu Changan, the steward said with a smile: "Servant Hu, we have quite a few of these porcelain fragments."
"There were a lot of porcelain fragments before, but we still left them there without disposing of them."
"As a rough estimate, these porcelain fragments weigh at least more than 100 kilograms."
Hearing this, Hu Changan also nodded with satisfaction.
It is worthy of being the largest porcelain workshop in Yingtian City, it is real.
With so many porcelain fragments, at least 150 kilograms of cement can be made.
With so much cement, I'm afraid it could cover more than half of Chang'an Avenue.
Seeing Hu Changan's satisfied look, the steward also rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Shilang Hu, you see, we have provided you with so many porcelain fragments at once, it is quite interesting."
"Look, do you have to give us some money in exchange?"
"After all, even if these are porcelain fragments, we made them by hand bit by bit!"
"I think how about this, 100 taels of silver in exchange for 100 kilograms of ceramic shards?"
When Hu Changan heard this, he smiled.
Did the manager really think he was taken advantage of?
One tael of silver for one kilogram of ceramic shards? This is simply a money grab!
Even finished ceramics are actually very cheap.
Ceramics is not as expensive as its brother porcelain.
After all, making porcelain requires a variety of techniques, and making ceramics only requires simply kneading the clay and then firing it in the kiln.
Ordinary people will have several ceramic utensils at home.
At that moment, Hu Changan raised an objection: "My boss, you are too unkind."
"My family is also in business. I know exactly how much the ceramics are worth. Don't try to lie to me."
“Such a high price, it’s almost as much as the price of finished ceramics!”
When the manager heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Good guy, it seems that this young man is not the kind of character who is easy to fool.
Originally, the manager thought Hu Changan was a young master who was inexperienced in world affairs.
After all, just by looking at Hu Changan's clothes, you can tell that he is the kind of person whose family is not short of money.
The manager instinctively felt that Hu Changan was the kind of young master who couldn't even tell the price of vegetables.
If you don't kill this kind of person properly, it will simply offend your conscience.
But in the exchange of these few sentences, Guan Shi came to his senses.
This Mr. Hu is probably a ruthless character who has been fighting in shopping malls all year round!
At that moment, the steward changed his mind.
Facing the cold-faced Hu Changan, the steward quickly put on a smile and said, "Shilang Hu, what I just said was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
"I see these 100 kilograms of ceramic shards. How about you casually give me 20 taels of silver?"
"After you buy our ceramic shards, we will help you transport the ceramic shards to the designated location for free."
"After calculating the labor cost, it will cost a lot of money!"
When Hu Changan heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "How about 15 taels of silver?"
"We are all businessmen, let's just open the skylight and speak frankly."
"There is indeed a labor cost involved."
"But this is not heavy physical work. I think the labor cost is as high as 5 taels of silver."
"Those 100 kilograms of broken ceramics are of no use if you put them here anyway."
"If I help you deal with it, I'm doing a good deed for you."
"If you ask the waste pickers to help you deal with it, you might have to pay for it."
Hu Changan felt that even 20 taels of silver could seal the deal.
However, Hu Changan still wanted to bargain a little more.
When the steward heard this, he immediately put on a sad face and said to Hu Chang'an: "Servant Hu, your bargaining is too harsh."
"We ordinary craftsmen earn hard-earned money..."
However, Hu Changan did not accept this trick.
Standing up, Hu Changan made a gesture to leave: "Steward, this is not interesting for you."
"Everyone is doing business sincerely, why should we be so stubborn?"
"In my opinion, 15 taels of silver is pretty good."
"If you don't sincerely want to do this business, I will leave!"
Seeing that Hu Changan was about to leave, the steward's attitude softened: "Servant Hu, please don't leave."
"Fifteen taels of silver, just 15 taels of silver, I'll have my men deliver it to you right away!"
When he said this, the steward felt quite tragic and solemn, as if a strong man had cut off his wrist.
But it doesn't really hurt at all.
What a joke, originally these scraps were all going to be given away to the scavengers.
Now Hu Changan has to pay 15 taels of silver to buy these ceramic shards. It's too late for the manager to be happy. How can he be heartbroken?
When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled slightly, sat down again, took the tea at hand and drank it.
After a while, the manager of the ceramics workshop signed a sales contract with Hu Changan and agreed on a delivery time.
After paying 15 taels of silver, Hu Changan happily set off for his next ceramics workshop.
Today, he wants to visit all the ceramic workshops in Yingtian City!
Soon, all the ceramic workshops in Yingtian City knew about this.
A big fool is paying for their discarded ceramic shards!
No one wants to miss such a good thing.
As a result, Hu Changan quickly purchased all the ceramic shards in Yingtian City.
Looking at the mountains of ceramic shards piled up in the work department workshop, Hu Changan smiled.
With so many ceramic shards, it would be perfect to pave a Chang'an Avenue!
