Chapter 340 Spitting Blood Again, Filled with Regret
Xie Ying was right, Xie Xiu’s ability to sell products was simply amazing!
As he began using glass brushes, glass paperweights, and glass pen holders, these items quickly became popular. Not only did the students of the Imperial College like to buy them, but even the teachers and civil servants couldn't let them go.
It’s a pity that the glass factory’s current production capacity is still very limited. Many orders can only be scheduled slowly and there is no time for production.
This can be considered a forced hunger marketing.
The result is that glassware has become more popular and its value has continued to rise.
Just as there are yellow cattle in later generations, there were naturally cattle in ancient times.
The popularity and shortage of Liuli has led many people to become scalpers.
Fortunately, Xie Ying still had some bottom line and did not deliberately engage in hunger marketing and secretly become a scalper herself.
Otherwise, the fools in the capital will be ripped off even more miserably.
However, as glass products became more and more popular, some people could no longer sit still.
"puff--"
Chen Shou was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wu Qingluan stood by with a very ugly expression on his face.
Originally, Chen Shou thought that Xie Xiu's death was near, so his mood had improved a lot and his health had finally improved.
Who knew that what happened next would be beyond their expectations and would continue to stab them in the heart.
Taiping Coal Mine treated its workers too well, and they even laughed at the princess for not knowing how to do business. However, Xie Xiu had little influence and was helpless, so he could only suffer losses.
Who would have thought that Taiping Coal Mine could use cheap crushed coal slag to make honeycomb coal, selling it at fifteen cents a piece and still making a lot of money.
And business is booming!
Today, Taiping Coal Mine has occupied almost 80% of the market in Beijing, which is really enviable.
Wu Qingluan was particularly jealous.
When her husband died, she ran her husband's business as a woman. Not only did many clan members oppose it, but she also used all means to seize the market.
After going through untold hardships, she finally expanded her business.
But what about Taiping Coal Mine?
How long did it take?
In less than a month, or even just three days, a special price for coal was offered, which made the coal merchants surrender one after another.
Even though it was because of the eldest princess's identity, one still has to admire the other party's business methods and the honeycomb coal.
Honeycomb coal can be made by using crushed coal slag, charcoal powder and yellow mud. It is easy to burn, produces less smoke and is affordable.
The Taiping Coal Mine business is too good to be true!
What’s even more outrageous is that they can actually burn colorful glass!
This is much more valuable than honeycomb coal!
It was such a profitable business, but the princess actually gave Xie Ying half of the shares!
That girl's luck is so good that it makes people jealous.
That's half of the shares in the glass factory. How much money can I get in a month?
Wu Qingluan felt that her stomach was full of sour water, and even her heart was soaked in old vinegar.
So she was not surprised that Chen Shou vomited blood.
Ever since these news started coming from the capital, Chen Shou's health has deteriorated again, and he would occasionally vomit blood.
How could he look like the elegant young man he once was? He was so gloomy and twisted that he looked like a sinister villain hiding in a grave.
Wu Qingluan carefully wiped the blood from Chen Shou's mouth and gently advised, "Young Master, please think positively. Your health is more important."
Of course Chen Shou knew that health was important, and he cared about his body more than anyone else.
But when he heard the news that Liuli was selling well, he couldn't suppress the anger and resentment that was surging in his heart.
If the Chen family had the formula for honeycomb coal and could burn such beautiful glass, how could they have used such unscrupulous means to rob money?
He absolutely did not believe that a little kid like Situ Yuan could make colored glaze. It must be that the princess had obtained some skilled craftsmen.
If he had married the eldest princess back then, all of this would have been his!
When Chen Shou thought of the regrets of the past, he could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart!
He wanted to marry the eldest princess, but she treated him coldly and married Situ Jing, that stingy and reckless man!
How exactly is that person better than him?
"puff--"
The more Chen Shou thought about it, the more hateful he became, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
Wu Qingluan frowned as she watched this. Although she didn't like Chen Shou's current appearance, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
Without Chen Shou's power, she would be just a merchant woman, and even those in the clan might not obey her.
So Chen Shou can't be in trouble now.
Even if the other party wants to die, she has to wait until she obtains the secret power, or even sacrifices that noble person.
Wu Qingluan quickly calmed Chen Shou down and continued to comfort him softly.
Finally, he said tentatively: "Liuli is very valuable and will definitely be coveted by many people.
If we can get the Liuli formula, those people will naturally stop being so complacent."
Chen Shou narrowed his eyes slightly. He naturally wanted to get the Liuli formula as well.
However, the defense of Liulichang is extremely tight, and it is not easy to get the formula.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Wu Qingluan spoke again, "Sir, why don't you try to drive the tiger to devour the wolf?
As the eldest princess, even if others wanted the glass formula, they would not dare to act rashly.
Only by letting someone of equally noble status take action will there be a chance of success.
And once someone takes action and muddies the waters, we can take advantage of the situation.”
Chen Shou suddenly laughed: "It's indeed a good idea. You are indeed very smart. You can actually come up with such a brilliant idea."
Wu Qingluan smiled charmingly and said modestly, "That's also due to the young master's good teaching."
Chen Shou smiled happily, but he was already thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
At the same time, the Jia family, far away in the capital, had already regretted their decision.
When honeycomb coal was selling well, Jia's father, Jia's mother and Jia Sheng wanted Jia Xuan to return to the Jiang family.
But Jia Xuan still refused to agree.
She held her head high stubbornly, hoping that after the child was born, the Jiang family would regret their decision and personally take her back to the Jiang family.
Who would want to go back in disgrace?
She had chosen to leave so decisively at the beginning. If she had gone back in disgrace, how would the Jiang family look at her?
So she was willing to threaten death to resist the arrangements of her parents and brother.
But when Liuli appeared, Jia Xuan was completely shaken.
She couldn't convince herself not to like such a beautiful thing.
If she had not left the Jiang family, Jiang Chi and her mother-in-law would have placed those beautiful pieces of glass in front of her for her to choose from.
But now, they seemed to have forgotten her.
With the Jia family's current financial resources, they would not allow her to buy luxury items like glass at will.
Her brother bought a glass pendant as a decoration. She liked it very much and asked her brother to buy her one as well. However, her brother said that life was difficult at home and she had been divorced by the Jiang family. It was not easy for her to go out to visit friends and there was no need to waste the money.
He also said that if she returned to the Jiang family, there would be plenty of glass for her to choose from, and advised her to go back.
Jia Xuan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She just liked Liuli and wanted to buy a small pendant, but her brother refused to agree to such a small request!
Does this mean that she is no longer his biological sister after being divorced by the Jiang family?
In that case, she should just go back!
Jia Xuan wanted to go back to the Jiang family, but she never expected that before she could leave, she heard the news that Jiang Chi was engaged!
