Chapter 507: Widespread influence

"what is this?"
In the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, a group of businessmen looked at the pendulum clock standing in the middle of the hall with a bewildered expression. Eight??
After Wangfuzhong and Fei Yueer appreciated the pendulum clock together, Xiao Ming asked them to send the pendulum clock to the Chamber of Commerce, which immediately attracted the attention of the merchants.
Li Kaiyuan stood in front of the pendulum clock. This was something that was just sent from the palace. He didn’t know the usage of the pendulum clock very well. But some time ago, he had heard that the equipment company was making pendulum clocks. He finally saw the real thing.
However, in order to let him understand the function of the pendulum clock, Xiao Ming specially asked the watchmen from the palace to come, and after some explanation, he understood how to use the pendulum clock to see the time.
"It really is a piece of ingenious workmanship." Li Kaiyuan praised sincerely.
Many businessmen who came to the Chamber of Commerce to apply for business licenses gathered around Li Kaiyuan. They also learned about the usage of this pendulum clock and understood that this pendulum clock was another product of Qingzhou.
And judging from the complex style of this pendulum clock, the price of this pendulum clock is bound to be very expensive, and the more expensive it is, the more terrifying the profit.
"No, if this pendulum clock is released, it will definitely shock the world, Vice President Li, did your Highness say how to sell this pendulum clock and how much silver?"
A businessman from Chang'an almost put his whole body on the pendulum clock. The function of this pendulum clock is not only magical, but also has a very exquisite appearance. Not to mention the exquisite woodwork on the outside, even the whole piece of glass is expensive. .
Li Kaiyuan's mouth was on the back of his ears. He had to admit that the pendulum clock was the most amazing Qingzhou industrial product he had seen in the past three years. How can I ask what things in this country can accurately record time to the second.
"Far away, stay away."
Li Kaiyuan drove away the Changan merchants like a fly.
Recently, there have been more and more young faces in this chamber of commerce. For the chamber of commerce, this is a manifestation of business prosperity. At the same time, there are more businessmen, and this chamber of commerce is also difficult to manage.
Merchants of uneven character often feel that they have done some headaches in the chamber of commerce, and some merchants from other places are simply bandits blocking the way.
When they learned that Qingzhou's goods were profitable, they would inevitably come to purchase them. It's just that these bandits are hard to change. Some people even snatched the goods purchased by other merchants in the chamber of commerce, wanting to do some unprofitable business.
This month, the soldiers guarding the Chamber of Commerce killed a few bold people.
So for the sake of caution, he didn't want any accident with this pendulum clock. After all, this pendulum clock was the only pendulum clock in Qingzhou.
Originally, King Qi wanted to keep it for himself, but he sent it to the Chamber of Commerce for publicity.
The nearby merchants were driven away. Li Kaiyuan said at this moment:
You’re welcome, this thing is called a pendulum clock, it’s a product that your Royal Highness asked the Department of Apparatus to make meticulously. Its function is very simple. It records the time of day.
The Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce was divided into two parts when it was constructed. One part belongs to the public affairs area, which is similar to the front desk of the bank, and the other part is the commodity display stand, commonly known as the exhibition stand.
At first Li Kaiyuan felt awkward with these unfamiliar words, but after a long time he got used to it, and now he feels inappropriate if he changes the word.
The function of this booth, as the name suggests, is to display the products currently sold in the Chamber of Commerce, such as soap, wine, perfume, glass products, mirrors, salt, etc., as long as they can be found on the booth, the Chamber of Commerce can sell.
The businessmen opened their eyes and stared at the pendulum clock. Some businessmen have learned from the watchman how to see the time through the pendulum clock, while some businessmen who don't know the pendulum clock eagerly ask other businessmen.
After learning the views of the pendulum from other people, they raised their heads and looked in the direction of the pendulum clock. From the pendulum clock, they easily knew the time.
"A quarter past three." A businessman exclaimed excitedly: "Oh, this pendulum clock is really amazing. If you buy one and put it at home, wouldn't it be enviable."
"Yes, this pendulum clock can not only watch the time, but it is also very exquisite. It is very suitable for placing at home. Unfortunately, I just don't know the price?" a businessman said.
"It looks like it is very expensive, I guess a pendulum clock will cost at least fifty thousand taels."
"So expensive? How many people can afford it?" someone exclaimed.
"Hey, with the ingenuity of this pendulum, fifty thousand taels will be bought by someone. Even if one thousand people buy it in the entire Great Yu country, this is fifty million taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, the merchants took a deep breath, and then they looked at the pendulum clock with a trace of enthusiasm. If they could make a pendulum clock, wouldn't it mean they would get rich overnight.
"Hey, in my opinion, the wealth of this world will all fall into the hands of King Qi." The merchants finally let out a sigh of envy or sorrow.
Li Kaiyuan's eyebrows were flying, and the business people's discussions did not escape his ears. He quietly admired the pendulum clock in front of him. For him, he believed that there would only be more and more products in the future.
These businessmen have never seen a steam engine, and if they see it with their own eyes, they still don't know how shocking it will be.
In his opinion, now that they can make a steel monster like a steam engine, is there any weird thing they can't make?
He smiled smugly in his heart, he looked at a group of businessmen and said: "Everyone, your majesty said, there is only one pendulum clock now, but there will be a second one soon. Now this pendulum clock is just to show you all. It looks like a pendulum clock. After you go back, you can consider whether you want to buy a pendulum clock for sale. As for the price, your highness has not yet decided~EbookFREE.me~ But the magic of this pendulum clock will not be cheap. If you want, please prepare it. ."
The businessmen nodded when they heard the words, while some wealthy businessmen began to calculate.
This pendulum was made for the rich and powerful. There are many wealthy families outside of the kingdom of Qi, and there will always be a few rich people who like to show off. This pendulum is suitable for them.
Thinking of this, some businessmen turned and left. They wanted to give the news of the pendulum clock to their vassal dignitaries, and some businessmen directly discussed cooperation.
Just as everyone was shaking because of the pendulum, servants in the palace again came outside the chamber of commerce. These servants walked to the middle of the booth with a basket of sugar and said to Li Kaiyuan: "Vice President Li, Your Highness said, let You also talk about the white sugar."
Because the euphoria of the pendulum has not yet passed, the appearance of this white sugar once again lifted the hearts of the merchants, and they felt a little overwhelmed. What happened to Qingzhou these two days, one product after another appeared.
Li Kaiyuan knew about white granulated sugar. After all, he knew about any new products for the first time. He said: "Everyone, this granulated sugar is really a good thing!"
