Chapter 549: Trial plane (11)

Augustus II will come to see it almost every day, with his cavalry, and gifts for Chu Yining, sometimes valuable jewelry, sometimes simple bouquets, but daily There are new patterns.
Huang Xuan doubted whether this guy hired a team of experts to take charge of girls.
The farm was not very conspicuous, but the mercenaries above made people feel very unfriendly. His Excellency the King did not pursue him generously, but asked Chu Yining, "Is it safe lately?"
Chu Yining smiled and said: "Mr. Augustus, there are more and more businessmen coming nearby, and there is more money in the manor. We feel that some soldiers are needed to defend."
Augustus was still in that camouflage version with a grimace, and smiled: "No problem, no problem, I sent a few people to bring them 200 infantry."
In the medieval infantry, peasants added guns, but in the 18th century, infantry were still more combative, especially Kingdom infantry. Huang Xuan said with satisfaction: "Thank you Mr. Augustus."
Anyway, as long as the infantry does not go to the position of the aperture.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." His Majesty the King said and looked at Chu Yining.
Chu Yining smiled helplessly: "Thank you Mr. Augustus."
If it weren't Huang Xuan's strong demand, she would probably make the Powerful King a brain remnant.
Where Augustus knew, he said with a broad face: "Call me Frederick. They all call me Frederick." Chu Yining didn't even translate to Huang Xuan and turned away with anger.
Then a man behind Augustus II smiled and said, "Miss Chu, can we go in and see?"
He pointed to the silver mirror factory behind him.
There are only 4 apprentices in the silver mirror factory, specializing in the production of silver mirrors, and another 6 people are responsible for buying various materials, but they are not allowed to enter the factory. The apprentices here are more strict than Beitge, to a certain extent, almost slave-like, the difference is that they can have their own identity after 10 years and take away their craftsmanship.
Four apprentices can produce more than 500 silver mirrors a day. It seemed that watching the silver coins flow on the table gave them great motivation.
Huang Xuan claimed that the cost is 800 talers. People naturally don't believe it, but they absolutely can't think of a silver mirror with a selling price above 1,000 talers. The cost is only 10 thaler. The most important thing is of course not to let Augustus know.
Chu Yining said euphemistically: "The smoke inside is very heavy. It is poisonous, we have to stop working if we want to go in."
The man behind him asked with great concern: "Isn't the worker there very dangerous?"
Chu Yining smiled and did not speak. There was no human rights in the 18th century. Some anthropologists recorded with a very happy tone: 6-year-old children can fully operate the loom, which is the biggest result of the industrial revolution. From then on, they will be able to support themselves and let our local society ... The men behind perseverely said: "We will go in for a while. Probably no problem."
Huang Xuan was the best at this situation, and his eyes turned, saying: "The problem for ordinary people is not very serious. The apprentices inside have signed an agreement and gave up the right to birth."
"What does that mean?" The man behind said in surprise.
Huang Xuan said with a smile: "The material we used is a little special, so after exposure to the smoke for more than 3 minutes, the lower part is easy to hold."
Chu Yi blushed to the translator with a blushing face, and gave him a thumbs up to praise him.
Augustus II suddenly changed color. For the strong king. Is there anything more terrible than "do not lift"?
But the man behind him probably didn't believe it, or he didn't have the trouble of lifting and not lifting, and thought about it: "Mr. Huang, do you want to go out to sea?"
Huang Xuan didn't speak in silence, Chu Yining first said: "Where?"
Augustus II was willing to talk to Chu Yining. After receiving a beautiful response, she put away her fear of "not lifting" and plasticized: "Because of your contribution to glass mirrors and porcelain, I can give you a monopoly on trade in the Baltic Sea, including not only silver mirrors and porcelain. But You want to monopolize rights for two or three commodities. Of course, it is best not to contradict existing monopoly rights. "
In the 18th century. The correct way to sell commodities seems to remain monopolized. The East India Company of the Netherlands, the North Company of France, and the former Hanseatic League have all tried to do this. Governments in various countries will give a company the monopoly of a certain region or a certain product. For example, Henry IV gave France the second East India Company a 15-year trade monopoly, and Richelieu would reaffirm the monopoly rights granted to the Antilles several times. The new French company began monopolizing the fur business in 1628.
The terms free trade and free competition are shorter than American history.
As the Elector of Saxony, Augustus II has about one-twentieth of Germany's power, plus his unstable Polish throne, plus one-twentieth.
This is certainly not very accurate, but after the end of the Hanseatic League, if you want to go to sea through a port such as Hamburg, the electors can still occasionally reach agreement, but at this time, the Netherlands has risen, allowing Germany The voice of people at sea is too low.
Even so, Augustus II couldn't wait. He wanted to give Huang Xuan and Chu Yining a monopoly. He stared at Chu Yining with a very man's eyes, but said to Huang Xuan: "I and Austria, France, and Prussia have all talked about it, and they are willing to use the monopoly rights of the two Baltic commodities in exchange for the formula of the silver mirror. "
He never mentioned porcelain, because he still owns most of the profits of porcelain. Now it is about seeing the profit of Silver Mirror.
After translation, Chu Yining didn't know what to say.
Huang Xuan said in Chinese: "What do you want? If you say so to him, you say that we produce silver mirrors. We need a lot of fuel. For the time being, he can't help him. That, if they want, we can provide them. Ordinary mercury mirror formula, but they are required to exchange for money. "
Chu Yining gave him an interpreter in real time, but his heart was depressed. As a level 3 traveler. She graduated with the first qualification from Mercury University, the best in the world. She is a very proud woman, not to mention that she has just been promoted to a committee of the Space and Time Administration-a position that can sit on par with many top officials of the plane government .
But now, when I can't figure out what to do. In front of him, he often looked at himself with Dihuang Xuan, but there seemed to be many ways.
Plus, he rarely shows respect or worship. Even when it did not reveal the level of the representative of the General Administration, Chu Yining's depression was even more noisy.
However, the facts are the facts. Chu Yining was unwilling to accompany Huang Xuan on the bird ’s egg-free status, so he did his translation work on the face, accompanied by Huang Xuan ’s ideas, She is also studying hard.
The man behind was Augustus ’chief staff, and the two looked at each other. Or the former said: "The formula of the mercury mirror, how much do you want?"
In the 18th century, there was very little such a concept as strategic intelligence. Therefore, it is difficult for them to judge how much fuel Huang Xuan has taken home, but they only know a lot. But they know that the number of workers in the silver mirror factory is definitely not more than 30. Judging by the number of mirrors sold by Huang Xuan in the last two months, they can naturally know that the production efficiency of silver mirrors is higher than that of mercury mirrors. The man behind him is more interested in the formula of the silver mirror, but he does not reject the mercury mirror.
Huang Xuan, who is very tender, looks like an old god, saying: "Mercury mirrors require skilled glass workers, and each worker can make one or two mirrors per month. The materials are very cheap, just the opposite of silver mirrors."
"Oh? What about Silver Mirror?" Augustus II was attracted by Huang Xuan's last sentence.
Huang Xuan said with a smile: "It is necessary to dissolve the silver. It is quite a fire. It requires a lot of fuel. You see that the road is full of coal, but it is still not enough."
Chu Yining lowered his head without looking at Huang Xuan, and was quite amazed. A silly little man beside him. Simply seduce Augustus.
Where do people in the 18th century know the difference between silver mirror reaction and dissolving silver or even silver plating? They look at the fine silver particles behind the mirror. As expected, the man behind him specifically asked, "Why don't you see any fireworks in the manor?"
"Our stove is special." Huang Xuan smiled shyly.
"The roads nearby are really bad," Augustus said with a full face: "Why not move the factory to Dresden, where the supply is more convenient."
"It's still good here." Huang Xuan listened to Chu Yining's translation and interrupted: "Your Majesty, look at this. We will make the formula of the mercury mirror 100,000 tals, as long as you ship it worth 100,000. Thaler ’s fuels, including wood and coal, will work. In a few months, your craftsmen will be familiar with it. Let ’s talk about the recipe of Silver Mirror. "
In a few months, he felt that he could leave.
"It's better to learn mercury mirrors first." Frederick agreed, and he certainly liked the latter among the "expensive" silver mirrors and the time-consuming mercury mirrors.
Huang Xuan hit the railroad while he was hot: "Your Majesty, we do not want to monopolize the power, but we still hope to obtain the right to reduce taxes, including not only our own tax reduction, but also the tax reduction for merchants who buy silver mirrors and porcelain.
Frederick hesitated immediately.
The tax rate in Germany is the highest in this era, mainly due to the high Li Jin. It is necessary to pay a tax every time you pass through a region. Repeated taxes are very unbearable. German monarchs in the 18th century were wealth fans. When they needed money, they even sold the entire army. During the Seven Years' War, the Duke of Württemberg rented 6,000 people to the French team. Later, the Duke of Kassel of Hesse sold to the British 16,000 people to fight in the Americas, and he used the money to build William Schoborg.
The main reason why Frederick was willing to reward the two was because he wanted to sell more porcelain. He had more rights to porcelain, and the tax rate for silver mirrors was already 45%.
But if it is a tax cut, he will immediately lose the tax from Silver Mirror.
Chu Yining looked at Huang Xuan unclearly and whispered in Chinese: "What good is it for us to let him cut taxes for other businessmen?"
"Sell too much. Only by reducing the cost of businessmen can they increase their enthusiasm." Huang Xuan took it for granted.
Chu Yining shook his head and said: "If the number of silver mirrors on the market increases ~ EbookFREE.me ~ we must lower the price, then the profit will not fall again."
Huang Xuan rolled his eyelids and said, "We are the people who do not need to consider the price of silver mirrors to fall. Mirrors are a luxury product. It starts to slide from the price of 1,000 tales, and it will not slide to the bottom of the for a year or two. The more we sell, the more we earn. The cost of 5 thaler is 500 thaler. As long as the sales volume doubles, it will be the same as it is now, but I dare to issue a guarantee. The increase is definitely not double. And you have to consider that the rich will definitely buy the mirror immediately, but what about the second rich? The second rich? "
"What about the price reduction to 200 Tall? If the price of the mirror drops, many people may be reluctant to buy it." Chu Yining was not convinced yet.
Huang Xuan now understands that Miss Chu has no basic business acumen at all. He holds his forehead and says: "We said marketing two days ago. If you think about it, if the price of the mirror is reduced to 200 talle Well, we did n’t make it at that time, so let ’s think about other methods. At this moment, it ’s better to use a chicken to get eggs. As for whether you say people will buy it or not, you do n’t have to worry, they will.

His final judgment naturally came from history. When Silver Mirror appeared, there was no monopoly. That was the invention of a chemist, and it sold more than eggs.
Chu Yining's face was ashamed.
