Daqin's technology is booming, but it will be absolutely impossible to use a mobile phone that can make video calls in ten years.
The first is satellite and signal issues, and the second is electricity popularization and technology!
If the technology of later generations is used as a benchmark, Da Qin's current technology may not even reach entry level!
Of course, technology must develop slowly and must not be rushed!
Two days later, Huang Yuan ordered the costs of the two air conditioners to be sent to the palace.
After Ying Feiyu saw it, he showed a smirk and said, "Go! Call Tongwuhou, Zhang Shangshu, Meng Shangshu and others over! I have something to discuss with them!"
"yes!"
Mingde responded and quickly went to do it.
About half an hour later, several old guys entered the palace together, thinking about it as they walked.
"Why did His Majesty suddenly summon us to the palace?"
"I don't know. I asked the guards who came to deliver the message, and they didn't know either!"
"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has never summoned us whenever he comes to court. Could it be that something big happened?"
"I'm not sure, let's go quickly...!"
Being suddenly summoned, the veterans were all confused and couldn't help but quicken their pace.
"See Your Majesty...!"
After seeing Ying Feiyu holding a wolf hair in the royal study room, several people became more convinced of their previous guesses.
Your Majesty usually doesn't work so hard. Today, after a long time in court, His Majesty was still reviewing the memorial. Something must have happened in the court!
He immediately frowned and bowed his hands!
"The ministers came so quickly!"
Ying Feiyu waved his hand slightly to indicate that they didn't need to be polite, then lowered his head again and started writing and drawing on the paper.
"Your Majesty, what happened in the court?"
Seeing this scene, Wang Ben asked worriedly.
"Big thing? What big thing? Nothing!"
Ying Feiyu was still writing quickly, writing something on the paper without even raising his head.
"Then your Majesty, this is...?"
Wang Ben looked at the wolf hair in Ying Feiyu's hand suspiciously.
"Oh! You're talking about this! I'm calculating the cost of air conditioning!"
Ying Feiyu raised his head and smiled.
"Oh? Huang Yuan has already sent the cost of the air conditioner? How much is it?"
After hearing this, the veterans immediately became interested.
"Installing an air conditioner in a car requires five craftsmen to disassemble and assemble it, plus the research and manufacturing of the air conditioner, and... a total of one thousand gold!"
Ying Feiyu looked at the contents on the paper, briefly murmured each item, and finally said a number.
"A thousand gold coins? Not much!"
"Not much, not much, haha!"
"One thousand gold can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. It's a good deal, a great deal...!"
The veterans immediately laughed heartily when they heard the price.
"A car air conditioner costs a thousand gold, so I guess the price of a home air conditioner is about the same, right?"
Zhang Han smiled brightly, his eyes full of wrinkles.
The other veterans were all smiling and nodded in agreement!
They were all researched and tested together, so the difference is definitely not big!
"Ten thousand gold!"
However, this time, Ying Feiyu did not quote them the various costs, but directly stretched out a finger and said these three words clearly.
"one……"
The smile on Zhang Han's face suddenly froze, his unfinished words were stuck in his neck, and his face looked very ugly.
Wang Ben and others were also stunned and froze on the spot!
The air conditioner on the car not only needs to be manufactured, but also needs to be disassembled and installed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Home air conditioners are ready to use once they are built, so why are they so expensive?
After a long while, Zhang Han finally asked, "Um... the ten thousand gold your Majesty mentioned refers to the total price of this batch of air conditioners manufactured in advance, right?"
"call……"
Hearing this, the veterans heaved a sigh of relief.
Among the batch produced in advance, there are six of them plus the Emperor's, a total of seven.
In terms of total price, each unit is about 1,500 gold.
The price is pretty good, not much higher than the air conditioner in a car!
"No! Zhang Shangshu misunderstood! This ten thousand gold is not the total price, but the price of each household air conditioner!"
Ying Feiyu shook the finger he just extended and smiled.
"What?"
The old guys' eyes widened one by one and they couldn't believe their ears.
"Your Majesty, a tractor only costs 5,000 gold, and a small air conditioner costs 10,000 gold?"
"Yes! Is the price too high?"
"The air conditioner in a car costs only a thousand dollars, but the air conditioner in a home is ten times more expensive...?"
After confirming that what His Majesty said was serious, the old guys immediately grimaced and kept complaining.
"Several ministers have also seen household air conditioners. Their size and wind power are more than ten times larger than those in cars. If we use this to calculate, several ministers have made a profit!"
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
"How...how can this be the same?"
Zhang Han frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.
The air conditioner sells for 10,000 gold. Not only do they have to take their own share, but they also have to spend nearly 2,000 gold more to pay for His Majesty's share.
If I had known the price of this thing was so high, I shouldn't have acted like a hero.
At first, I thought I could benefit from the glory of the Supreme Emperor and use the air conditioner early. I didn’t expect that this glory would not be so easy to gain. I would have to spend nearly two thousand gold more!
"Since Zhang Shangshu knows the difference, don't compare home air conditioners with car air conditioners!"
"But...but the price is too high!"
The veterans are still reluctant.
Air conditioners are not like cars. They can be driven out and visible to the people in the city.
If you keep this thing at home, as long as you have never entered his mansion, no one will know that he has this new thing. The effect of showing off is very low!
And the air conditioner can only be enjoyed, not made money.
If it was like a steamship and could transport money and make money, he would buy it even for one million gold, not to mention ten thousand gold!
"If the ministers feel that the price is too high, then give up! I will take the batch that was produced in advance to the auction house and auction it. The one with the highest price will win. I believe that the final transaction price will definitely not be less than 10,000 gold. ! When those rich families blow on the air conditioners and eat watermelons in the dog days of summer, don’t be jealous of the ministers!"
Ying Feiyu began to play with his fingernails carelessly, as if he didn't want to buy anything.
"Forehead……"
The veterans were speechless for a moment and looked at each other.
There are so many wealthy households in Da Qin, especially in Xianyang.
If His Majesty releases the news, there will definitely be a large number of wealthy households rushing to get it. Let alone 10,000 gold, even 30,000 or 50,000 gold is possible!
The rare thing is the most precious thing, and with the function of adjusting hot and cold, it will definitely attract a lot of people!
"Hehe! Your Majesty, look what you said, we never said no!"
"Yes! We were just joking with His Majesty. Your Majesty already announced in advance yesterday that the price will be higher than mass production. We are all mentally prepared!"
"Yes, yes, as long as the price is calculated, we will definitely...!"
Seeing that His Majesty still refused to lower the price and even said that he would put it at the auction house, the old dealers immediately put on smiles.
After all, the big words have been spoken in front of everyone before. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I didn't pay for it now?
"It's done! Just give the money to Yu Wenxuan later!"
Ying Feiyu nodded clearly, and after explaining, he sent all the old guys away.
