Qiao Shan didn't speak, so Shen Fei gave up.
Although the Queen Mother treated her well, the two were not familiar enough to form a partnership.
Shen Fei didn't take the glass workshop seriously at first, she just wanted a full-length mirror for her own convenience.
"Qiao Shan, has Zhang Guangzhen calculated the initial investment for the glass workshop?"
Shen Fei had already given out the recipe, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
If she has to invest too much money, she can consider it, but it doesn't necessarily have to be opened.
"Madam, according to Manager Zhang's estimate, the construction of our workshop, including the materials and the craftsmen we hired, will cost almost ten thousand taels of silver."
Shen Fei has some money, but she is reluctant to pay for it herself.
Shen Fei sighed, "Hey, in this Yu Dynasty, only the emperor is the biggest. It would be great if the emperor cooperates with me."
"It's a pity that the emperor doesn't know me, and I don't know him. Otherwise, with the emperor's support, our workshop wouldn't be afraid."
"However, the emperor will not be short of money. He should look down on the small money from our workshop."
Shen Fei wandered around and thought to herself.
Qiao Shan heard Shen Fei's emotion and wanted to answer out loud several times. The emperor also wants money and he wants to cooperate with you.
But Qiao Shan didn't dare. He was afraid that if he said it, Shen Fei would doubt him.
Qiao Shan could only endure it with all his strength and did not say anything.
Shen Fei scratched her head and said, "Qiao Shan, don't rush this matter now. You do the preliminary preparations first. I will discuss it with the Marquis after he comes back."
"Yes, ma'am!"
After Qiao Shan left, Shen Fei could still be heard sighing, "Zai Zai, you said it would be better if your father had a better relationship with the emperor. Then you can let him talk to the emperor, and then the profits will be divided easily. of."
Xiao Fubao said: "Look for him, look for him."
Shen Fei tapped Little Fubao's nose, "How can it be so easy? The Emperor is not that easy to see."
Qiao Shan was also anxious. Both parties wanted to cooperate, but there was no good reason.
It's really difficult that he can't expose himself yet.
When Tang Zhiling came back in the evening, Shen Fei told Tang Zhiling about this.
"Tang Zhiling, I think Qiao Shan's analysis is right. We need to find a backer and someone to look after us, otherwise we will be easily tricked by others."
People die for wealth and birds die for food. This has been said since ancient times.
Tang Zhiling also nodded. The ice produced by the Ministry of Industry is so eye-catching.
The Ministry of Industry took the lead in making ice, and it was so eye-catching. If they produced glass themselves, and the technology was still in their hands, then his and Shen Fei's life would not be able to stop.
Tang Zhiling knew his own disadvantages. Although their family was now a Hou Mansion, its foundation was still very weak.
In the capital, even a fifth- or sixth-grade official might not be his opponent in a real fight.
Because those people have families behind them, but he does not.
There are only two people in his family, and no one will help him except his wife and son.
"Shen Fei, otherwise it's better not to start a workshop." Tang Zhiling suggested.
Tang Zhiling thought that in previous years the ice in Beijing was sold by the Xiao family, and the Xiao family's business must have been affected this year.
"Tang Zhiling, I have an idea, see if it works."
"Huh? Tell me."
"How about we present the prescription to the emperor instead of partnering with him and just give it to him directly. I think the emperor is quite generous."
"Okay, then I'll go write the booklet."
After Tang Zhiling left, Shen Fei thought that since everyone had bought them back, she couldn't be idle, so she called Qiao Shan and Zhang Guangzhen over again.
Qiao Shan originally wanted to go back and report to the emperor, thinking of a perfect solution.
"Qiao Shan, Manager Zhang, I called you here because I have something to announce."
Qiao Shan and Zhang Guangzhen looked at each other, and then asked: "Madam, what are your plans?"
Shen Fei said: "Qiao Shan, your analysis is right. The glass matter is too big and will involve many interests in the future. I don't plan to do it."
"Then what do you want to do, madam? With this recipe, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it."
Qiao Shan's tone was filled with anxiety.
The emperor already knew about the glass, but he suddenly stopped working here, what should I do?
Although they knew the recipe and could do it secretly, they still felt it was not very authentic.
Shen Fei said nonchalantly: "The Marquis and I have discussed that we should present the recipe to the Emperor and let him make it. Our family is not well-off, so we won't do it."
Qiao Shan: "......"
Qiao Shan didn't expect that all the twists and turns would lead to this result.
Zhang Guangzhen: "......"
So what is he going to do? Is this the end of the mission?
But he signed a five-year contract of sale!
Tan Zhuo is now free and can walk away, but what will he do?
Zhang Guangzhen wanted to cry but had no tears.
Qiao Shan endured his excitement and suppressed the joy in his heart.
"Madam, don't you think it's a pity that you donated the prescription?"
Qiao Shan knew how great the benefits of glass and mirrors were. He didn't expect that Shen Fei would give up such huge benefits at such a young age.
Not everyone can have this kind of courage.
Shen Fei shook her head, "What's the pity? Since I know I can't hold on, I might as well let it go."
At this moment, Zhang Guangzhen suddenly felt that Shen Fei's image had become taller.
When Shen Fei saw that Zhang Guangzhen was not in a high mood, she thought he was worried and had nothing to do.
So he comforted him: "Manager Zhang, don't be discouraged. I have other business to do, and you still have something to be busy with."
Zhang Guangzhen and Qiao Shan both looked over.
"Madam, do you have any good ideas?" Qiao Shan asked excitedly.
"I've thought about it, let's make paper this time."
"Paper making?" Zhang Guangzhen was very curious. The Yu Dynasty already had paper.
Shen Fei saw Zhang Guangzhen's doubts and explained: "This time the scale is smaller, so we won't be targeted. We make toilet paper, that kind of soft paper, for use when going to the toilet."
Zhang Guangzhen: "..."
Isn't this span too big?
Qiao Shan really didn't pay much attention to toilet paper. After all, this thing was already available in the Yu Dynasty.
Shen Fei wanted to do this, but she also used toilet paper that she was not used to. It was too hard, and the feeling made Shen Fei uncomfortable.
She has used up the remaining paper in her space laboratory, so in order to live more comfortably in the future, soft toilet paper must be made.
In later generations, the papermaking technology was very mature, which was to turn trees into pulp, further process the pulp, spray and dry it into paper, and finally make soft toilet paper.
In fact, the initial processing of pulp is directly made into paper, and the experience of wiping one's butt is similar to that of sandpaper. Thinking of this, Shen Fei quickly shook her head and shook the image out of her mind.
Shen Fei didn't know how the papermaking workshop here was made, but the hard paper used in toilets now must be missing a process in later generations, that is, the pulping process.
Shen Fei thinks this is a good project that is inconspicuous and can bring in money.
