Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1956

"My king would like to hear the details."

"First, Deng Yangren has no sense of shame and bad morals. Guo Ye and others have shown great kindness to him, and he can betray him without hesitation. What else can he not do? Apart from this person, it is This old man has a clear conscience for eradicating a scourge for the world!"

Yin Hongzhi clicked his tongue repeatedly, and said: "What you said is quite aboveboard. In fact, you are not venting your anger for Guo Ye? Yes, Deng Qibin's moral character is not good, but you, Patriarch Li, have never done anything wrong? Killing...hehe..."

He chuckled lightly, and then said: "Let's water thieves cross the river, don't use dogs to dig it. You can't pass my Yin Hongzhi's test with your rhetoric! You should talk about the second reason quickly."

"Deng Yang is an insatiable greedy man. Guo Ye gave him [-]% of the shares in the glass workshop, and the old man was able to encourage him to come to our side with his three-inch tongue. How could he know that he would not just for more money? Betray us? Betrayal is something like this, there are two, so we must guard against it!"

"So you took precautions and killed him first? This is too ridiculous. You might choke to death when you eat, why don't we stop eating? If you marry a kiln sister as a concubine, in order to prevent her from stealing , should we kill her first?"

Yin Hongzhi waved his hand while talking, and said, "Your second reason, in my opinion, is still absurd!"

Li Quan didn't feel disobedient at all when he heard the words, and said: "It's okay if you don't agree with the first two reasons. In fact, those two reasons are just a cover, just to give an explanation to the world. It is the third one that really made the old man make up his mind. reason!"

"What's the third reason?"

"That is to get rid of Deng Yangren, which is in our best interest! Uncle Guo, think about it carefully, what harm does Deng Qibin's death do to us, and what good is it?"

"Disadvantages? Of course there are many disadvantages! For example...for example..." Yin Hongzhi thought about it carefully. Deng Yangren's contribution is indeed not small, but it seems that there are not many obvious disadvantages after his death.

In the end, he could only say: "Deng Yangren's technology is very important to the glass workshop!"

"Uncle Guo also underestimated our five noble families. The guys in the glass workshop are all smart people who we have carefully selected. We have fully mastered the technology of producing flat glass. It doesn't matter if there is Deng Qibin or not."

"But...he can continue to research, so that the production cost of glass can continue to be reduced! He can also research other novelty items, so that we can make a lot of money!"

"That's true. But... Uncle Guo, have you ever thought about it. Deng Yang is so talented, can he be used by us? We are raising him, so how do we know that he is not making wedding dresses for others?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let me ask you, in terms of money, how do we compare with Qin Guogong?"

"Of course it's much worse."

"What about power?"

"Uh...it's about half a catty."

"It's half a catty? Uncle Guo, you're telling Gaoli this. Qin Guogong Guoye controls the military power in Chang'an City. Although our Qi King Qiansui has a noble status, he actually doesn't have any real power. Even if you add Wei Shangshu and our five great gentry, Our power is far inferior to that of Guo Ye."

Yin Hongzhi sneered and said, "So you plan to climb another branch?"

"Of course not. What the old man means is that since the old man was able to turn Deng Qibin away from Lord Qin by surprise, then Guo Ye can naturally turn him back. Deng Yangren's betrayal is only a matter of time!"

He smiled viciously and said: "So, our top priority now is not how to use Deng Qibin to make money for us, but how to prevent him from switching to Qin Guogong Guoye! The best way to solve this matter is to kill him! Only Dead people will not betray!"

Li Youdao: "But once Deng Yangren dies, I'm afraid the technology of our glass workshop will stop. How does Patriarch Li plan to solve this problem?"

Chapter 1803

"There is no need to solve this problem at all! My lord, please think, once Deng Yang is dead, who else can improve the technology of glass processing? In the future, our technology of producing flat glass will be the best in the world, so why bother to improve technology?"

He paused and continued to explain: "Our purpose is to make money and attack Guo Ye, not to reduce the production cost of flat glass infinitely. As long as we can maintain our technological advantages, this goal has been achieved, and the prince must not put the cart before the horse."

Li You nodded, and said: "Gu Wang understands what you mean. Although Deng Qibin is alive, he can continuously reduce the production cost of glass, but at the same time, he is still a huge hidden danger. He is likely to be used again by Guo Ye. Let's fight back."

"That's right! Only with the death of Deng Yangren, Guo Ye will lose his chance to turn defeat into victory forever! Li's strategy can be called dredging from the bottom of the pot!"

Yin Hongzhi said unconvinced: "Without Zhang Butcher, would he have to eat pigs with hair? I don't believe it. He is the only smart person in the world. Can others not improve the production technology of flat glass?"

"In terms of people's abilities, the old man still has some. There is really no other person in the world who is as smart as Deng Yangren!" Li Quan said firmly.

"You're talking absurdly! If Guo Ye finds someone to lower the production cost of flat glass to the same level as ours, without Deng Yangren in hand, I'll see how you end up!"

"Uncle Guo, but don't worry, this will never happen!"

"Not afraid of [-], just in case, why are you so sure?"

"This... well, the old man admits that there is really nothing absolute in the world."

Li Quan smiled bitterly: "However, Uncle Guo, you should ask yourself. If Deng Yangren is alive, how likely is he to betray? After he dies, how likely is it to find a second Deng Yangren? What is the difference between the two? I don't believe you can't see the difference."

Yin Hongzhi wanted to say more, but Li You waved his hand and said, "Uncle, there is no need to argue anymore! What Patriarch Li said just now is very reasonable. Xiao Wang thinks so."

Then, he said to Li Quan: "Deng Yang is dead, what should we do next, what plans does Patriarch Li have?"

"The next step is of course to pursue the victory! Let's use all the money we earn to set up a flat glass workshop!"

"Isn't that too risky?"

"You can't take risks!" Li Quan said helplessly: "If the supply of flat glass continues to fall short of demand, the price will inevitably rise. If the price returns to above Guo Ye's cost, half of our plan will fail this time. What's more ..."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "Don't look at the fact that flat glass is selling very well now, but that's because it's unprecedented. In the last two or three years, rich households have installed flat glass. There's not such a big sales volume." From the perspective of making money, we should also expand production immediately."

"Then follow what Patriarch Li said!"

……

In all fairness, Li Quan's plan is quite good.If someone else, really got his way.In fact, Guo Ye was indeed deceived and suffered heavy losses.

However, how can Li Quan measure the means possessed by Guo Ye, who traveled through time as a later generation?

Yes, Guo Ye couldn't find another genius like Deng Qibin, and he couldn't improve the technology of producing flat glass.However, he had an idea and directly "invented" the glass mirror!

With this big killer in hand, there is no pressure to suppress the five great gentry!

Fortunately, in the past six months, the five great gentry did nothing else, and all the money they earned was used to expand production, and dozens of new workshops for the production of flat glass were built.

It can be said that at this time they are so poor that only the glass workshop is left!

Just when they were about to make a lot of money from these workshops, Guo Ye once again reduced the price of flat glass by a large margin!

This time it really hit the seven inches of the five great gentry clans. Within a month, their liquidity chains were all broken, and they were forced to close all the flat glass workshops!

Of course, it's not that Li Quan didn't think about buying flat glass from Guo Ye at a low price, and then selling it as his own.Use this method to reduce losses.

However, Guo Ye's defenses were tight.Secondly, he really didn't dare to do that.

Once bitten, twice shy!

I think he used this trick against Guo Ye once in the business war, and the result?Guo Ye followed suit and suffered heavy losses.Now, the five noble clans are already vomiting blood, so how dare he continue to take risks?

Li Quan even wondered secretly, could it be a trick set by Guo Ye this time?

Has he brought down the cost of producing flat glass to an incredible level?Then look at the right time to make a big price cut?Just to trick yourself again?

The five noble clans can no longer afford another failure!
