When Wu Xianxian heard this, she immediately became energetic and even deliberately pulled the bench closer.
"I know you won't do anything that's not beneficial."
"Now that you know, you were so angry just now." Li Qian said with a smile.
"If I don't get angry, why would you tell me the truth?" Wu Xianxian snorted.
"Although I handed over this Liulichang to the royal family, why can't it be sold to us? Today, Eunuch Wang from the palace came to send me a message, saying that the emperor wanted the ministers in the court to also contribute to the national treasury, so that I'll think of a way." Li Qian said.
"The money sold is not ours either." Wu Xianxian said.
"Of course the money sold is not ours, but have you ever thought about it. If you sell a glass product, you can charge a 10% service fee and it can continue to operate. What do you think of this business? Li Qian said.
Wu Xianxian tilted her head and thought for a while, "That depends on the pricing."
"There is no price." Li Qian said with a smile.
"There's no price?" Wu Xianxian stood up immediately, "How can I sell it without a price?"
"Only the lowest price!" Li Qian said with a smile.
"Only the bottom price?" Wu Xianxian was even more puzzled, "Isn't this bottom price the fixed price?"
"The reserve price is naturally not the fixed price," Li Qian said. "The reserve price is also called the starting price. It can be gradually increased. The final price will depend on the financial resources of the buyers."
Wu Xianxian thought for a while, "What you mean is to let several buyers buy something together, and the one with the highest price will get it."
"Yes, that's what it means. This is called competitive auction. What we have to do is open an auction house and provide them with this platform." Li Qian said.
"I thought it was a good idea. Isn't this the same as having tea in a brothel and competing for the oiran?" Wu Xianxian said.
"Have Shopkeeper Wu been to a brothel?" Li Qian said with a smile.
"Bah, why am I going to a brothel as a woman?" Wu Xianxian spat.
But she has actually been to a brothel several times.
After all, soap is not only bought by some wealthy families, brothels also have a purchasing power that cannot be ignored.
"But I think the open auction house you mentioned is indeed feasible. In addition to selling glaze products, we can also sell other things, including our own and others'. In short, the more expensive and attractive something is, the more we will sell it. "Wu Xianxian said.
Li Qian glanced at Wu Xianxian and said, "You are indeed a natural businessman!"
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare. Since all the items sold are valuable, the noodles must not be too small. It seems that we will have to spend some money." Wu Xianxian stood up and was about to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at the lenses on the table. ..
"What are you grinding these things for?"
"I want to try to make a telescope, but unfortunately the lens is really difficult to polish." Li Qian said.
"Telescope? What is that?" Wu Xianxian was stunned for a moment.
"As the name suggests, it is something that allows people to see further and more clearly." Li Qian said.
"Isn't there a master who specializes in polishing jade in the city? Why don't you ask them to polish it?" Wu Xianxian said.
Li Qi'an slapped his thigh, "Yeah, why didn't I think of those masters who polish jade, they polish those jade all day long, how come a few lenses can't be polished out."
Looking at him, Wu Xianxian's lips curled up, Li Qian, you don't want everything.
