One of the two pieces of glass has a little bit of blue. Although the brightness has not reached the transparency of the glass that Mahanshan has seen in his previous life, it should be enough to be used as a lampshade. When the other piece is viewed against the light, there is no variegation except for a few bubbles, but it is normal.
When you look at it, it still has a little green color. It is because of this piece of glass that Mahanshan is called great. With such transparency, it can be used as a lampshade.
"If this transparent glass is used to make this product, Boss Abu, can you give me a price?" Ma Hanshan said, holding up the piece of glass with bubbles in one hand and the large kerosene lampshade in the other.
People who have used kerosene lamps should know that the so-called kerosene lampshade is actually a glass tube with a "diffusion chamber". The so-called astigmatism chamber is actually just a larger space channel in the horizontal direction where the wick burns. Don't
Look down on this so-called "astigmatism room". Without this lampshade, the brightness of the kerosene lamp will not be that bright.
"About two hundred yuan." Li Abu thought for a moment and said.
"Two hundred cents? Boss Abu, you are not selling something, you are robbing money. The cost of this thing is less than two cents." It's the same for everyone. Selling things always feels cheap, but buying things always feels expensive.
expensive.
However, a lampshade costs two hundred silver, which is indeed too expensive. If you calculate it this way, a large fire and water lamp, if the oil bottle is also made of glass, wouldn't it cost more than one or two silver? It is too expensive.
In Ma Hanshan's plan, the lamp is not intended to make money, he wants to make money from the oil.
Lamps should be sold as cheaply as possible so that everyone can afford them. When people buy lamps, they will always find ways to buy oil.
If the lights are beyond the reach of ordinary people, then this business cannot be done. If only a few rich people buy them, how much can they sell?
"There is no way, the sand has to be brought from my hometown." Li Abu said helplessly.
"You can make things in your hometown and then transport them. Who is so stupid to transport sand? Besides, I don't believe that you can't find better sand in places as big as Xixia Donghu and Dasong." Ma Hanshan
I stood up and walked around in the reception room in annoyance, and finally gritted my teeth and said, "Boss Abu, I want to buy a lot of these things. In the future, every family will need them. Just two for one family will be fine. I'll give you a few thousand."
What about Wanhu, as well as people from Donghu, Northern Mongolia and Xixia? The business is very big."
"However, if the unit price exceeds fifty cents, there is no need to do it. I have set a goal of thirty cents for a large lamp and twenty cents for a small lamp. And this and that extra-large round cover, fifty cents. This
Planting square slices should cost no more than five cents per slice." Ma Hanshan began to draw the big cakes and exhaled, "If Mr. Abu can reach this price, Wagonzhai will need two million pieces per model per year."
The total quantity is definitely large, but it requires two million per year. Now it is definitely bragging. At least it is impossible to reach this quantity in the first year, because lamps can never be produced in so many quantities.
Two million pieces per model per year. This quantity directly frightened Ab Li, because even if a glass-burning workshop did not burn anything else, it would not be able to burn so many glass-burning products.
"If you can find the same sand as in my hometown locally, the price shouldn't be that much." Li Abu thought for a moment and said solemnly, "If you use the sand from my hometown, whether it is transported here to be burned, or it is burned in my hometown
After burning it and transporting the product, you can't even buy it at this price. It's too far away, ten thousand miles away."
"It's expensive to go by land. We can go by water. If we transport two million by ship, we can transport them all in one ship. Or if we transport one ship of sand, how much can we burn?" Of course Ma Hanshan knew that it was too far away.
, but there is nothing we can do now.
"Hey, I'll think of a way after I get back." Li Abu really wants to make this business a success. If Wagonzhai really wants so many, it will be prosperous this time.
"What are you thinking about? I'll help you think about it. After you go back, contact that royal glass shop and ask someone to steal some sand for you. Then help me burn a batch first. In addition, you send troops to the West Gorge and the North
Check the sand in Mongolia, Donghu and Dasong, and at the same time, send people back to your hometown to see if the goods can be transported by ship. If not, calculate the cost of land transportation."
"Don't worry, as long as you can do it, I promise to ask you for that many goods every year. If you are worried that we won't want it, I can pay some deposits to order a batch with you. Let's do this. Xiaohaodengtong will order five items first.
One hundred thousand, a large lantern is ordered at 300,000, an extra large open cover is ordered at 50,000, and a square piece is ordered at 150,000." Ma Hanshan glanced at Yu Tianchuan and said, "Manager Yu will go back and calculate the amount and write a contract with Mr. Abu.
, and then pay him a 10% deposit in advance.”
Li Abu and Yu Tianchuan were both stunned. The leader of the village was really a young hero. He casually placed an order for hundreds of thousands of lanterns and paid a deposit in advance. The samples were not confirmed yet.
"Oh, I remembered. I will make 100,000 pieces of the large oil bottle first, and 200,000 pieces of the small oil bottle first. And these thumb-sized bottles, Boss Abu, will also make tens of thousands of them for me.
Right. By the way, let me quote you first." Ma Hanshan said as he placed the oil bottle at the base of the large oil lamp, the small oil bottle, and several small bottles of perfume and medicinal oils on the table.
"These are not valuable, just a few pennies. The main thing is these lamps. The price really can't make it better." Li Abu stared at the samples on the table, thinking about whether there was really a way to make Wagang Village better.
purchase and eat.
"Didn't I think of a way for you? First find someone to help you steal the sand and make a batch for me. The cost of stealing is not much." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Why do others steal it from me? They are not fools. Even if they steal it, they still have to spend money to buy it." Dashi merchants are famous for their shrewdness, and of course they cannot be easily fooled by Ma Hanshan.
"Okay, go back to Xixia immediately tomorrow and see what price you can get for making the stolen sand. If it doesn't double, you can make it according to the quantity. If it exceeds double, then see how much it is.
The money will determine the quantity. In short, I must make these products. If you can't help it, I will think of other ways." Ma Hanshan said firmly.
"Okay, I'll rush back tomorrow. As for the contract, let's sign it later..." Li Abu was an honest man. He was afraid that after signing the contract and taking the deposit, he would be very sorry if he couldn't do it later.
"It's up to you, but I won't sit here and wait for you. If you don't sign, I will find other ways at the same time. If I solve these problems before you do, you will only have half of the order in the future." Of course, Ma Hanshan would not say that.
If there are no orders, then Li Ab will definitely have no motivation.
"Uh...understand...understand..." Li Abu said in a daze.
"However, if you solve the problem before us through other means, we will sign an exclusive contract with you, and I will cover all of your production capacity." What Ma Hanshan wants to make is not just a few bottles and cans.
"Thanks……."
The next day, Li Abu hurried back to Xixia. Ma Hanshan then secretly sent Qi Nanyue and asked him to contact the glass workshop run by the Xixia royal family to see if he could bribe the director of the workshop and let him burn a batch of lamps privately.
Or, buy some sand or broken glass from him. Ma Hanshan remembered that broken glass can be refired and fired again.
…
Three sets of new steamer accessories came back, and Ma Hanshan ordered Liu Heizai to install them all day and night, and to test the equipment in one day. So he was in such a hurry because Li Zhuoshui brewed the first batch of five thousand kilograms of distiller's grains in Wagangzhai soon.
It's about to mature.
When the lees is mature, it must be steamed in a pot. If it is too early, the yield will be low, and if it is too late, the yield will also be low, so this time must be mastered.
Liu Guisan's forging and casting factory has also officially started construction. The first batch of products is, of course, wine steaming equipment. Ma Hanshan's requirement is that even if it is more expensive to produce by yourself than ordering from outside, your own forging and casting factory must master this set of technologies.
.
If you can't do it yourself, you will easily get stuck by others.
The reason why he thinks this way is because he has seen too many such things in his previous life. The Japanese and white men are very bad. The complete sets of equipment they sell are not expensive, but when the equipment needs to be repaired, the cost of repair is sky-high. He
I once repaired a so-called imported luxury car. Damn it, a small accessory costs tens of thousands of yuan, and it has to wait three months. There is no way, there are not even replicas in China, so I can only swallow it and buy it.
.
If you can't build a steamer yourself, and one day you need to replace a pipe or something, and someone else charges a sky-high price, wouldn't you be pissed off to death?
Liu Heizai is quite capable. The steamer was installed on time and passed the first test.
Therefore, the wine steaming workshop of Wagonzhai officially used the distiller's grains brewed by himself to steam the wine. When the wine came out, Ma Hanshan immediately discovered that Zuixianjiu steamed with distiller's grains was more fragrant than Zuixianjiu steamed with fruit wine.
.
After steaming one pot in two hours, the output is only four kilograms of grain and one kilogram of wine, which is not ideal.
However, with this output, Ma Hanshan is also very happy. One stone of brown rice is only 600 taels of silver, and thirty jins of wine is 60 taels of silver. What is the concept? Is there a more profitable business?
"Aniu, go and tell the kitchen. I'll cook a table of delicious food tonight, and I'll treat Zhuoshui and Heizai to dinner." Ma Hanshan took a sip of the newly released Zuixian wine and said with a smile.
"Teacher, there is no need to spend money. This is what a disciple should do." When he saw that the distiller's grains he had brewed had turned into drunken immortal wine, Li Zhuoshui was so excited that he trembled all over. The master's wine distilling device was indeed magical. How could it be done?
The wine is steamed so clean, transparent and crystal clear.
"It's one thing to do what you should do, and it's another thing to do it well or not. The rules of science are that if you study well and do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't study well, if you don't do well, you will be punished. So, turbid water,
Don't be complacent, be open-minded and learn from others." An older child lectured an uncle in an old-fashioned manner with his hands behind his back, which looked very strange no matter how you looked at it.
"Yes, I will follow Master's teachings." Li Zhuoshui didn't feel weird at all and bowed sincerely to accept the teachings.
During the more than half a month in Wagangzhai, he had never seen anything new here, or the mental outlook of the people living here. And all of this was because of his eldest son, Master. Therefore, he had already
He admired Ma Hanshan so much that he really respected the leader and teacher of the village.
