Li Xiang didn't know what was discussed in the palace that night, and he didn't have the time to care about it, because the next day was the opening day of Zhidaobao. As the big boss, Li Xiang also wanted to come and see the grand opening. A large amount of money was spent on publicity, and there were crowds of people in front of the door every day. On the opening day, Li Xiang also wanted to see what the results were.
During these few days, the people of Chang'an City were like watching a play. First, His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson killed all the Tuyuhun people, and then his Zhidaobao was about to open for business. Of course, for most of the people, Zhidaobao seemed to have little to do with them, but people like to watch the fun. There was a big show at the door of Zhidaobao for three days, and today it was finally opened. They also wanted to see the treasure that had not been born for thousands of years, which was said to be the clearest mirror in history.
For ordinary people, there are no mirrors at home. The rich and powerful use bronze mirrors, and the higher-class ones can use glass mirrors. But no matter what kind of mirror it is, the portrait is not very clear. But the people who got the treasure said that their mirrors can restore you completely, even a mole on the face can be seen.
At the beginning, no one believed it, but during the three days of publicity, many people had already seen it there. It is said that hundreds of people in Chang'an City have seen their true appearance. Today there is still a chance for everyone to see it, so after breakfast, the people in Chang'an City went there one after another.
"After so many years in business, this is the first time I've seen such a scene. I'm afraid we won't be able to find out how many secrets this eldest grandson of the emperor has."
In a teahouse opposite Zhidaobao, Mr. Cui Sanye had chosen a good spot early on. At this moment, he was very envious of such a large flow of customers. The Cui family was based on business, and they also controlled a lot of goods, but if there was such a popular situation, it was probably only in dreams.
"Third Master, my wife once had the honor of seeing this mirror. It was in the hands of Miss Changsun. It is clearer than any other mirror on the market. There is no difference."
Cui Yuncheng's wife is honest. Since he can say this, it is basically true.
"I have no doubts about the authenticity of this mirror. Have you asked the price?"
Many dignitaries in the capital have seen it. Even if Cui Yuncheng’s wife has not seen it, it is impossible for others to lie. Those people represent wealthy families, so how could they say something nonsense?
"No less than one thousand strings of cash."
When Mr. Cui San heard the number Cui Yuncheng said, his eyes narrowed. There were many valuable things in Chang'an City, but there were not many that were worth more than one thousand strings of cash.
"How many are there?"
When Mr. Cui Sanye said this, Cui Yuncheng knew what Mr. Cui Sanye meant. He must be thinking of buying all the goods in one go. For some medium-sized families, such things can almost be said to be heirlooms. If we have them all in our hands, we can sell them for any price we want, but the quantity must be scarce. If there are too many, it will be difficult to handle.
"No less than ten. As for how many more there will be in the future, we don't know. The shopkeeper that His Royal Highness hired used to work for the Empress, and he's very tight-lipped."
Cui Yuncheng felt uncomfortable when he thought of Zhou Huairen. Mr. Cui Sanye would not know Zhou Huairen, but Cui Yuncheng was very familiar with him. This man had superb business skills. He was considered useless in the past. If he helped His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson to manage the business now, he would become a business tycoon in the future.
"The Empress has left behind many capable people. Just because our Crown Prince is unable to win them over doesn't mean that our Grand Prince Chang Sun doesn't have the ability. If he were to win them all over, he would be a fierce tiger in Chang'an City."
Mr. Cui Sanye said with some envy that Mr. Cui Sanye's growth trajectory was also full of miracles, but if compared with Li Xiang, he seemed to be far behind him. Perhaps Li Xiang was the chosen one.
However, after reconciling with Li Xiang, Mr. Cui Sanye felt a lot more relaxed. It is absolutely impossible to make an enemy of such a terrible person. If you become his enemy, you don’t know how you will die in the future. Fortunately, the Cui family changed their tactics, otherwise it would be a headache this time.
"Third Master, there have been some changes in other major families recently. Will they also cooperate with His Royal Highness the Grandson?"
Cui Yuncheng did not say it explicitly, but Master Cui San also understood that if it were not for Master Cui San's help, Li Xiang would not have been able to get the news so quickly about the Zatlk incident. Including the emperor's people, they all got the news after the Cui family, so when they saw that the Cui family had changed their plans, the major families would definitely follow suit.
"That's not our business. To get rich, you have to take risks. We didn't get it for free; we've paid a lot. Do you think every household is as open-minded as us? They're all guarding their own money jars and unwilling to make any concessions. With their attitudes, do you think Li Xiang would be interested in them? How has our family been ranked first among the Five Surnames and Seven Families for so many years? There's a reason for that."
Mr. Cui Sanye said proudly that no one knew the faces of other families better than him. It was not that their Cui family had made rapid progress in recent years, but that other families had not made any changes and were unable to adapt to the situation, so the Cui family firmly held the top position.
"Shall we wait a while?"
Cui Yuncheng couldn't figure out what this third master was thinking.
"Buy as many as you can. Don't worry about the price. Just find a way to get them all. Don't worry about the money. You can earn it back in the future. Even if the price is outrageous, my Cui family must follow through."
Mr. Cui Sanye said very decisively that in such a business, if you are reluctant to spend money, then you probably won't be able to gain the upper hand.
Of course, what Mr. Cui San did was by no means reckless. Just refer to the Datang Tianniang, and you will understand what is going on. At the beginning, it was seven strings of coins per catty, but the price on the black market has risen to twelve strings of coins. If you bought all of it without asking the price, you can double the profit in just over half a month.
Is there any business in the world that is more profitable than this?
So Mr. Cui has decided that no matter how many mirrors are released, he must capture them on the first day...
