From Chief to Ball

He really didn't expect that Chen Jian would make such a suggestion. Back then, the mercury-tin mirror was monopolized by this method for nearly 50 years, earning an unknown amount of money, and it was only spread out later.

It's not that he doesn't know the huge profits here, and he can't say he's not tempted, but he doesn't want Chen Jian to be the president.He thought this was just a young stunned head, but he was a little surprised to have such ambitions.

But besides the heartbeat, it is inevitable that the heart will be covered by greed.Tian Wenliang thought, if Chen Jian is forced to submit and hand over the technology, then the monopoly guild will be decided by who is richer and who has more prestige, obviously it is still him.

"Brother Chen, your suggestion is fine. But, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it, the president. After all, everyone doesn't have deep contact with you. To put it bluntly, everyone may not trust you. So, just do what you said, Dividends are distributed according to the share capital, and everyone will let some more, and when you get familiar with everyone, everyone will push you to do it..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jian got up directly, shook his head and said, "Needless to say. I promised Mr. Mu from the academy that we would find a way to let everyone know that knowledge is money. I will provide technology and add some funds to account for this." Half of the shares of Mincheng Glass Monopoly Firm. If it is less than this, there is no need to discuss it.”

"Half? Your technology is worth half?"

"value."

"Brother Chen, your idea is a bit interesting... Hahahaha! Is this what you said that knowledge is money?"

"Yes. Isn't this money? Don't say that money is vulgar. If there is no money, we can't get together for dinner today. It's not because money brings us together."

"Young people, sometimes don't be too arrogant. Think that the sky is big and the earth is big, and you can run rampant."

Chen Jian cupped his hands and apologized to everyone: "Since that's the case, let's stop here today. I don't have much to talk about. Everyone go back and think about it. You can go to the Charity Trading Company to find Brother Zhu Gan at any time. If you want to, let's go together." Do it, neither willing nor forced."

Hu Lin also bowed to everyone, and left side by side with Chen Jian.

Tian Wenliang didn't stop them either, and sent the two of them out with a smile, determined.

After going out, he got on his horse and went to a place where no one was around. Hu Lin smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you are going forward and never retreating, aren't you a bit too aggressive?"

"No way, I call them father, can they give me half of the income? If not, why should I pretend to be a grandson? I call my father father, both willingly and because my father raised me, loved me and protected me since childhood." I'm so big."

"But they're sure to get in trouble."

"Even if I kneel down to them today, they will make trouble for me. If the technology spreads, do you think I can compare with them? If I can't compare, I won't make money. If you can't make money, what do you want to do?" No matter how beautiful a dream is, it takes money to make it a reality, doesn’t it?”

Hu Lin laughed, shook his head for a long time and said: "You, you, you don't have to remind me every day that what we do has common interests, and I'm not that kind of pedantic idiot. I just want to worry about them making trouble, after all This man is still rich."

Chen Jian asked curiously: "Brother Zhu Gan, just this Tian Wenliang, does your father have any money in his family?"

Hu Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, and said modestly: "It's a little bit worse. But my father and I have never talked. If I don't apologize or declare that I was a nonsense when I was young, he won't recognize me as a son. Don't fight me." Wrong idea. I still have younger brothers and sisters, and my younger brothers and sisters are afraid that I will not be able to live outside and admit my mistakes and go home, and even sent money to my eldest brother."

"Look, isn't it because of money in the final analysis? Don't think that Tian Wenliang is supported by people now, it's just because of profit. After a while, someone will come to me on his own initiative, and Tian Wenliang can't hold on. I'll plant a little seed of doubt in them first, and win over the temptations and defeat them one by one."

"Then why didn't you cooperate with those glass workshops in the first place? You said that I should organize the employees. Obviously, I already knew the existence and rules of the guild. Wouldn't it be better to find some people to disintegrate internally?"

"How do I know who they can trust? Just wait, when they come to me, the initiative is in our hands, and the conditions can be negotiated."

Chen Jian subconsciously pulled the horse's mane, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhugan, you don't understand the difference between my workshop and theirs. Let's put it this way, after a year, the whole city of Fujian will only It can accommodate my workshop... unless the middle and lower floors can also afford glass, that’s another matter.”

"A family?"

"Yes. A family."

"Brother Chen, there are so many glass workshops across the country. They have learned the art of blowing glass for more than ten years. How will they live on in the future?"

Chen Jian stopped his horse, and wanted to say something to Hu Lin for a long time. Hu Lin's way of thinking is still in the era of handicraft workshops, including his fantasy country, which is also based on the original egalitarianism of handicraft workshops. In any case, this original egalitarianism will eventually fail and become a struggle for means of subsistence, or it will evolve into an ascetic Puritan model.

Hu Lin is a man of courage and energy, some things are still too early to say, but another thing must be said now.

"Brother Zhu Gan, let me ask you something. If there is a machine in the future, one person can do the work of fifty weavers or yarn workers. Those spinning and weaving will definitely be inferior to the machine. In the short term, even their own The spinning wheel is useless, so we can only go to the machine factory to work, but the machine cannot accommodate so many people for the time being, and some people will definitely go hungry.”

Chen Jian smiled and asked: "If at that time, individual weavers and spinners rose up to rebel and smashed this harmful machine, smashed this machine that caused their lives to fall from the middle to the bottom, would you support it? "

Hu Lin lowered his head, thought for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "At first, I didn't believe that such a thing would happen, so I never felt troubled by this kind of thing. But since Brother Chen's glass workshop opened, I really want to over this issue."

"Think about it?"

Chen Jian suddenly became interested and asked, "Tell me, what do you think?"

"To be honest, I didn't think about it. Maybe I will stand with them and resist those machines? Maybe not. If there are many such machines, doesn't it mean that even the poorest people can use endless cotton and linen? ? Just like now, I guess we have enough food for everyone, but every year some people go hungry and can’t get enough to eat. Is it a land problem or a distribution problem?”

Chen Jian waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about the distribution, let's talk about whether you will object in the future."

Hu Lin gave Chen Jian a strange look, and said, "Brother Chen, you can't be..."

"No, you think too much, I don't have that ability. I just want to ask your opinion. I think it's better not to smash it. Really, Brother Zhu, if there is such a day in the future, maybe I have suffered temporarily It will be sweet in the future."

Hu Lin laughed and said, "It's not you, nor me, who endure hardships. You and I are not qualified to comment like this. From you and me, a simple sentence of suffering now is for the better in the future, but to others, it may starve to death or become a prostitute. I'm not qualified, and neither are you, neither of us spin and weave for a living."

"That's true."

Chen Jian thought for a while and didn't ask again.

Chapter 59 Pit

At Tian Wenliang's house, the atmosphere of the banquet had long since disappeared, and the guests had already left.

Now the owner of this banquet is very worried, worried that the last sentence left by Chen Jian will cause some people in the guild to shake.

He is the last person who doesn't want to do this, but others are not him, and they don't have so many internal rights and interests.

"Everyone, let me tell you that Chen Jian is very ambitious, and he is just trying to catch his name. Don't look at what he said, but if anyone really believes in him, he will definitely chew his bones to pieces. Despite his age, Small, but bloodthirsty and devouring flesh."

As a businessman, he knew that this kind of dry talk about character was meaningless, at least to these people present, so he added another sentence.

"This kid's idea is good, but his appetite is too big, and everyone is not familiar with him, and this person is aggressive when he comes up. Think about it, if it is what he said, and he is so aggressive now, what will happen in the future? ?”

"What if we get the technology? Can we kick him away? How much can we earn in a year by making that monopoly he said? I'm someone you can trust, at least I won't be as greedy as him , will only take what I should take, so you can share more, too?"

Several people nodded, agreeing with Tian Wenliang's statement, they also don't like Chen Jian.It has nothing to do with character or aggressiveness, it's just that Chen Jian's appetite is too big and he wants to eat too much, they will never agree.

There are a few smaller workshops that have different ideas. Now they don't get much meat in the guild, but they are squeezed by others. They hope to cooperate with Chen Jian the most, but at this time these words cannot speak out.

Tian Wenliang is well aware of the thoughts of these people. At this time, all conflicts of interests can only be avoided to prevent the glass guild from collapsing from within.

Relying on things like threats and friendship may not be reliable, so Tian Wenliang discussed with everyone overnight a future profit distribution, and repeatedly promised to guarantee the interests of some small workshops.

At dawn, everything was based on the premise that Chen Jian handed over the technology, and a future distribution plan was formulated. The bottom line is that the technology will be invested in shares worth [-] silver coins. Of course, it must be forced to stop the workshop.

"Brother Tian, ​​he is young and energetic, will we force him to go to other counties in the future?"

"The guilds in other counties are all saints? He left Min County and died even worse. He has no foundation and no relatives and friends. Why? Let him know that he can't continue this glass workshop if he doesn't cooperate with us, and then Win him over again, and he will grow up by then."

"Then let's start with alkali?"

"Yes. Collect money and buy all the alkali in Fujian County. I have already made a good deal with people in other industries. They can use the alkali or get it from us at the original price. They all understand. I also said to Shi Ming's commercial officer. Let’s use the sudden incident as an excuse to send a ship to the north to transport beic acid. If there is some delay on the way, there should be no problem for two or three months. Besides, this is not considered hoarding. Guarantee the cost of other industries, it’s okay.”

After discussing it, these people discussed raising money again, and then ran to various places, suspending the production of their own workshops by the way.

They didn't criticize the hired workers too harshly. On the contrary, they invited them to have a good meal and talked about the current situation. They only said that if the charity business company continues to do this, I'm afraid everyone will have nothing to eat in the future.It's just that they have been employed for so long, and those apprentices, even if they don't start working temporarily, they will not be fired, and they will always have to be supported for two months.
