Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

For this pretty widow whose family is dead, everyone present is all staring at her.

Not mentioning the other person's appearance, but just showing the huge wealth of the Ba family behind her is enough to make men all over the world flock to her.

Qin Qing was obviously used to this kind of scene, but after lightly nodding to greet everyone, she slowly entered, subconsciously looking at the main seat from the corner of her eye.

Suddenly stunned.

Why is he here?

And here Cao Chao was also stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This fate is really wonderful!

Chapter 446 Establishing a Chamber of Commerce

However, Qin Qing quickly put away her surprised expression, and sat down straight after saluting with everyone

"Are they all here?"

After Qin Qing was seated, Cao Chao took a sip from the teacup and put it back.

Seeing no one responded, he continued:

"Today, I asked you to come here to discuss something.

"I want to establish a chamber of commerce and invite everyone to join."

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, this was the first time they had heard of this novelty.

"Excuse me, what is a Chamber of Commerce?" An old man asked.

"The so-called Chamber of Commerce is an organization, where I will provide you with some goods at cost prices.

"You have to follow my request to unify the price in Dahan territory, I will take [-]% of the profit, and you will take [-]%.

"As for the outside of Dahan, then I will not interfere. You can sell it as expensive as you want, and the profit is me six and you four."

Those present were all elites who were used to traveling all over the world. After listening to Cao Chao's words, they immediately understood the power of this chamber of commerce.

With this Chamber of Commerce, it is easy to monopolize the market of the entire Dahan, or even the market of the entire world.

"I don't know what kind of goods the gentleman can provide us?"

People asked the most concerned questions.

After all, if it is a bulk commodity such as rice grain or a prohibited item such as salt and iron, it will take a lot of risk.

If someone dares to monopolize these things, it will be against the imperial court in disguise.

With Hanwang's way of doing things, they didn't know how to die.

Cao Chao obviously also saw the concerns of these people, so he glanced at Nuo Min beside him.

Nuo Min understood, and brought out a large tray and placed it in front of Cao Chao, covered with three pieces of linen.

Under the gaze of everyone, Cao Chao lifted one of the sackcloths, which contained a clay pot.

"Here is a jar of honey, you should have heard of this."

The eyeballs of all the merchants were about to pop out when they heard this.

They couldn't sit still any longer, and looked around one after another.

"Can you really offer honey?" Someone asked uncertainly

You must know that this thing is exclusively used by the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and it is occasionally used to reward officials, and there is no such thing in the market.

In the market, one tael of honey can be exchanged for three taels of gold, and there is no market for it.

"Not bad!"

Cao Chao smiled and nodded, motioning for Nuo Min to bring down the honey for these people to take a good look at.

"I can provide...five hundred catties of honey every year, and the cost price is one tael of honey and one tael of gold."

"I apply to join the Chamber of Commerce!"

"I want to join too!"

"Count me in!"

After everyone confirmed that the jar was real honey, they all asked to join the chamber of commerce.

Cao Chao was overjoyed.

With Sunda bee here, the bee farm is now quite large, and it is not a problem to produce a thousand catties of honey every year.

It is reasonable to take out half of them to circulate in the market.

The point is that the income from the Chamber of Commerce went directly into Cao Chao's own pocket, and even the Shaofu didn't know about it.

That's right, the purpose of Cao Chao becoming a chamber of commerce is not only to monopolize the market, but also to keep a small treasury privately.

"Okay, you can go to Qin Qing to register later, Qin Qing will be the vice president in the future, and my goods will be distributed to everyone through her."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the merchants looking at Qin Qing changed.

Isn't this a disguised form to tell everyone that this woman is mine.

Some people were still thinking about Qin Qing before, but they all calmed down after hearing this.Many merchants present even had the intention of kneeling and licking.

After all, when the goods are in the hands of this woman, she has the final say on how to distribute them.

Here, Qin Qing was also stunned to hear that Cao Chao wanted to serve as the vice president herself.

But looking back, it was probably because my sister told this man about herself yesterday, that's why the other party took care of me like this, and I felt relieved.

But for some reason, Qin Qing didn't feel much joy in her heart, but rather bitter.

My best friend is so happy to have a husband who loves her so much.

And I stay alone in the empty room, alone, hey!

Here, Cao Chao didn't notice Qin Qing's emotions, he continued to open the second piece of linen, which turned out to be a shiny bottle.

The bottle is transparent, shining five colors of light under the candlelight, so dazzling that the merchants present are stunned.

"Mr. Dare, what is this?"

They had never seen such a beautiful thing before, and couldn't help swallowing.

"This is a glass bottle!"

Cao Chao said nonsense in a serious manner: "This thing is refined with a secret method. It is fragile and extremely precious. I can only provide a thousand of them every year."

"One piece costs a hundred taels of gold."

He also bullied the merchants present for being uneducated. In fact, these colored glazes are just a foil for copper smelting, glass made of sand burned at high temperature.

The purity is not high, and there are variegated colors.

This thing, as long as the temperature of the blast furnace is high enough, the supervisory bureau will have as much as it wants.

However, Cao Chao, a profiteer, obviously did not intend to sell this thing to ordinary people.

After all, colored glaze is fragile, and it doesn't make sense for ordinary people to use it at home.

So he plans to make rare things more expensive, control the supply of goods, and capture the high-end market.

The target is naturally the princes and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.

However, the merchants didn't know the twists and turns, and they were overjoyed seeing that the other party could take out a thousand of such treasures in one go.

The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are not short of money. As long as this treasure is transported to the Seven Kingdoms, it will not be a problem to sell it for a thousand taels of gold.

These made a fortune!

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the third piece of linen.

The first two things are better than the other, so I don't know what treasure the third thing will be.

Just when everyone was curious, Cao Chao finally revealed the answer.

The sackcloth was lifted, and there was a pocket glass bottle inside, which contained some red liquid.

"This is?"

The merchants looked at the small bottle curiously. It must be unusual to be able to use glass bottles.

"This thing is called perfume, and I keep spraying some on my body, and the aroma is tangy."

"You guys can reach out, spray some on your wrist and give it a try.

"But remember not to rub it, or you will confuse the aroma."

After finishing speaking, Cao Chao gestured to Nuo Min with his eyes.

Nuo Min understood, picked up the perfume bottle and walked down, first handing it to Qin Qing.

Seeing this, Qin Qing took it with both hands, poured a few drops on her wrist, lowered her head and sniffed, her eyes lit up immediately.

"It's really fragrant, not vulgar, elegant and fragrant!"

Seeing this, the rest of the merchants followed suit.

It received rave reviews for a while.

Seeing that everyone tried it for a round, Cao Chao nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"This thing is more difficult to make than colored glaze, but it is made of the nectar in the morning and brewed for seven to 49 days with a secret method, which is extremely rare.

"So the price of a bottle is [-] gold, which is already the cost price."

This time Cao Chao did not talk nonsense, the process of making perfume is indeed complicated.

It is distilled from fresh flower petals. It is necessary to repeat the distillation many times on the way and add a large number of petals to make such a small bottle of perfume with sufficient concentration.

This is also a helpless thing, after all, Cao Chao has not been able to produce alcohol with a concentration of 70.00%, so he can only rely on pure distillation.

Fortunately, there are many flowers in the beekeeping base of Sunda bee, and there is no need to worry about raw materials.

For this price, merchants have no objection.

After all, such a novel thing should be loved by those top ladies.

Those women are not short of money.
