Chapter 115 Rare Treasures (First update, please recommend, please collect)
Big!
Great!

But everyone's mouths opened even wider.

"My goodness!"

Everyone looked at the carved mahogany in front of them in surprise, and they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear!

Everyone's appearance was reflected in that big-spoke mirror, whether tall or short, fat or thin, black or white, beautiful or ugly, and even the greed in some people's eyes, was captured by this six-foot-wide, three-foot-high mirror. The huge-spoke glass mirror is reflected, and every detail must be revealed.

This era is not without glass mirrors. In fact, in the past hundred years, Hong Mao Fan's glass mirrors have been stolen in Daming, and in the whole of Asia. The only one in the world, only in Venice.

Most of the glass mirrors produced in Venice are only a few inches in size, at most one or two feet, but even so, they still have a crushing advantage over the bronze mirrors of the Ming Dynasty. After all, The figure reflected by the bronze mirror is not very clear, and is limited by the reflective ability of the material. If the distance is a little farther, and the angle is a little bit off, it will be distorted. In addition, in tropical regions like Southeast Asia, it needs to be polished frequently. The bronze mirror seems to be only a few taels or a dozen taels of silver, but it is really not cheap to use.

But the glass mirror does not have these shortcomings. It does not need to be polished frequently, and the image it reflects is extremely clear, and it can fully reflect the surrounding things.Because of this, those seemingly expensive glass mirrors have always been bestsellers in the market.

The biggest use of mirrors in the past was to dress women.

But the glass mirror has another use, which is to show off wealth!

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of high-rollers who spend a lot of money for beauties, but spending a lot of money is itself a kind of showing off.

Of course, you can also make a beautiful woman smile.

The glass mirror can not only win the beauty's smile, but also show off wealth.

Because of this, those large mirrors of one or two feet have always been very popular in the East. Even in the 18th century, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi would give the emperor a large glass mirror every year-a large mirror with a width of five or six feet, its value is still More than a thousand taels of silver.

But right now, the mirror presented in front of everyone is a big mirror that has never been seen in this era.After all, even the Venetians can only make mirrors two feet in size at present.

Therefore, even these local tyrants who have seen the world opened their mouths wide in surprise when facing such a big mirror. Unable to bear the longing in his heart, he rushed forward directly.

"My lord, I am willing to pay 2 taels to buy this big mirror!"

Sun Chuan immediately offered an offer for the large mirror.

Just as he finished speaking, someone spoke again.

"My lord, I am willing to pay 5000 taels!"

While someone is following the bid!
Others gave orders to their slaves in growling voices.

"Quickly, go back and get the cash ready at home. I will pay 4 taels."

At this point, there is no need for Shi Yiwen to say anything more, these people are already crazy about this mirror.Now there are greedy faces in this mirror, all of them know the value of this mirror.

But being so valuable was beyond Shi Yiwen's expectation.Originally, he knew that mirrors were very expensive, but he never thought that they would be so expensive!
Where did this mirror come from?In the supermarket, it is hung on the wall. In fact, there are even larger glass mirrors hanging on the wall of the supermarket.

In fact, the general industry can also be produced by itself.It doesn't matter if you can't make glass in the first place, there are still plenty of glass in the supermarket windows... just a little mercury and tin foil can be turned into a priceless treasure!

"I'll pay 8 taels!"

Finally, Li Guinan, who was silent for a long time, made an offer.

8 taels!
8 taels to buy a mirror!
Not to mention Shi Yiwen, even the others were dumbfounded, 8 taels, this is really a sky-high price!

8 taels!
After Li Guinan quoted the price, there was a long silence in the hall.

"I don't know if there is a price from that old man? No matter how high the price is, I will add another 5000 taels!"

After Li Guinan, who was hoping to win, made the offer, he smiled complacently when he saw that no one spoke, and then he called the servants over and told them to go home and prepare money.

Then Li Guinan asked again.

"My lord, I don't know if there is such a mirror over there."

"For the time being, there is only this side, but there are also some small mirrors about three or four feet long."

Shi Yiwen replied casually, hearing the words, the eyes of other people all lit up.

A small mirror of three or four feet is also a treasure!
As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became lively again. Although it was not sold at a sky-high price of 8 taels, it was only sold at a sky-high price of 10,000+ taels after a meal, relying on more than a dozen mirrors of different sizes!
It's just a dozen broken glass mirrors!

What is even more surprising is that everyone who bought it felt that they had earned it.

Even when he came home, Li Guinan had a smug smile on his face, but before he could enter the door, his brother-in-law Xu Daoliang ran over, and his in-law Yu Tailin came with him. he asked loudly.

"You, you bought a mirror for 8 taels!"

"That's right, the two brothers came just in time, let me tell you, we've made a lot of money from this business!"

"8 taels!"

Xu Daoliang exclaimed.

"Brother Li, this, this is 8 taels!"

"That's right, brother, you, how can you be so smart and confused for a while! 8 taels, who would buy such a big mirror and use it to make beautiful women smile? Who would be so rich?"

"That's right, brother Li, we've lost a lot of money on this business..."

In fact, Chinese people are no strangers to the shareholding system. After all, there is no single family business. Even if it is a family business, it is divided into members of the growth house and the second house, but the shares are often digested internally.Li Guinan seems to be the biggest wealthy businessman in Hoi An, but in fact his family's business has more than a dozen people.

"Oh, look at how scared you are, it's only 8 taels!"

Li Guinan smiled proudly.

"8 taels, we bought that mirror the size of a wall, and we took advantage of it!"

While talking, Li Guinan looked at the two relatives and friends who didn't know why, and pretended to be mysterious and ordered them to serve tea, and then drank the tea slowly.

Seeing his leisurely appearance, Yu Tailin asked.

"Brother Li, can this mirror be bought?"

That is a mirror of 8 taels!
"It can be sold, and I estimate that it can almost double, selling for 6 to [-] taels!"

what!
Yu Tailin opened his eyes wide and said in surprise.

"Here, where to find such a buyer!"

Xu Daoliang also echoed.

"That's right, whoever is stupid will spend so much money!"
