Chapter 1964: Exclusive sales rights
Seeing this, Governor Loridan took the opportunity to "explain" (brass):
"This kind of glass mirror is the two masters of our Dal Carlo brothers. They have used extremely skillful craftsmanship and have produced such exquisite glass mirrors after 989 processes. It is extremely difficult to produce this kind of mirror The time required for the mirror is up to 1 month ... "
Marin couldn't help but roll his eyes-Nima! Who is it? Back to ninety-nine and eighty-one processes? Don't you just paste the tin foil and apply mercury?
However, it takes a month to produce a mirror, which is not a nonsense. After all, the tin amalgam reaction does take a month.
But Marin also knows that this glass mirror, especially the newly produced glass mirror, because the mercury component has not yet completely evaporated, is actually very toxic, and it is more terrible than the formaldehyde of later generations.
Therefore, don't look at Marin trying to praise and marvel, but just don't get too close, but help bragging away from far away ...
"Look at this glass mirror, it's so bright ... and ... so bright ..." Marin suddenly didn't think of any words to praise this glass mirror ...
In fact, he didn't think there was anything to be praised. Because, after seeing the glass mirrors of later generations, he felt that such mirrors were too low and poisonous ...
However, no one noticed that he praised things a bit poorly. Because, they were all stunned by the "clear" picture in the mirror ...
Those who can get to high positions are not fools. They know very well that they are grandfathers and may not necessarily value this kind of mirror very much. However, those ladies will be crazy about this crystal clear glass ...
Marin knew this too, so he intentionally shouted:
"It's such a clear and good mirror. If you buy one and return it to my dear Queen Angela, she will be very happy. Maybe, she will take the initiative to kiss!"
This is very explicit and shameless. However, everyone agrees. Why? They also felt that if they could bring a mirror like this back, their wives would surely die happily ...
But the problem is ... this price ...
Thinking of this, the other guests present were tight-hearted, and then looked at Marin with grievance-what are you talking about? Doesn't this give the Venetian the opportunity to raise prices?
No, Governor Loridan climbed up the pole and bewitched:
"Yes, Your Majesty Marin! If you bring a mirror like this back to Queen Angela, Her Majesty will definitely feel very happy!"
At this moment, Marin suddenly said straightly:
"So, Gul'dan ... Abu, Lori Dan ... Lord Governor, how much does such a mirror cost? How much is the price?"
Governor Loridan's eyes flashed, and Gu said about him:
"The two masters are superb in craftsmanship, and masters like them can each make a mirror each month ..."
"So, Venice can only produce 24 mirrors a year?" Marin asked.
Governor Loridan froze for a moment, and then his brain quickly turned, he said:
"That's not true. At present, the two masters really only have this output. However, we have many skilled glass artisans on Murano Island in Venice. We plan to let a group of artisans learn from the two masters . In this way, there will be dozens or hundreds of masters who can produce mirrors together. In this way, the annual output can reach hundreds of faces in the future, or even thousands of faces ... "
In fact, the production process of mercury-tinned tin foil glass mirrors is very simple, that is, the tin foil with a flat thump is attached to the glass with mercury, and then wait for a month.
It can be said that it takes only one month to produce a glass mirror, but a craftsman is not only able to focus on making a mirror a month, it can be made together with several or even dozens of sides. Therefore, the output can be raised.
However, the Venetians are professional profiteers and they are well aware of the "rare things are rare" formula. Therefore, the Venetians deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of manufacturing glass mirrors, and then controlled the output. In this way, the price of glass mirrors can be sold too high ...
"A few hundred a year's production?" The other guests at the auction were taken aback. Then they realized that they might be slaughtered ...
Sure enough, after officially starting the auction, Governor Loridan told everyone with a "difficult face"-given that the glass mirror was "too difficult to manufacture" and the output was very small. Therefore, the starting price is 10,000 Ducat gold coins, which are the "production costs" of the two masters ...
After listening to his words, Marin wanted to take off his 44-yard shoes and throw them on the old man's face-why don't you even have a face? Obviously, the cost of no more than one gold coin will become 10,000 gold coins in your mouth ...
However, as a child care professional, Marin deliberately exclaimed-Oh! It turned out that ...
Then, Marin took the initiative to play the role of childcare at the auction, frequently raised cards, and competed with people ...
"The first glass mirror is mine! I want to dedicate it to my queen!" Marin yelled, the face of an upstart, the smell of copper ...
Then, after a fierce "shopping", Marin finally got the first glass mirror at the price of 18,000 Ducat. Then, pretending to happily hold the first glass mirror in his arms and bring it back to the seat.
After the auction, naturally starting at 18,000 Ducat. Then, the next few sides were also fired to the price of one side of 20,000 gold coins. In this way, the five mirrors put out for sale in Venice almost sold the high price of 100,000 gold coins ...
Governor Loridan almost laughed and crooked his mouth-too special! If Venice sells a thousand glass mirrors a year later, wouldn't it be to earn 20 million gold coins?
Thinking of this, the smile on Governor Loridan's face couldn't stop ...
But after the auction ended, Marin suddenly made a request--
"Admiral Lord Loridan, I want the right to sell glass mirrors in the German region!"
"Agent sales?" Governor Loridan froze.
"That's right, exclusive sales!" Marin emphasized.
Governor Loridan hesitated and said:
"I'm afraid I can't make a decision alone. I need to meet and discuss before I can reply to you ..."
Then, Governor Lorida hurriedly called the Congressmen of the Republic of Venice to the Governor's Palace for a meeting.
After a whole day of discussion, the Venetian senior believed that Marin was indeed a friend of the Venetians, and this time was a perfect childcare. Therefore, cooperation is certain.
However, the exclusive sales rights of the entire German region are a bit overdone. So, the two sides started bargaining.
In order to get the exclusive agency, Marin is even willing to get the goods at a retail price of 90%. In other words, his profit is only 10%. Considering the transportation costs of the pit father in this era, his profit is almost already low ... After all, in addition to the expensive transportation costs, Marin also needs to publicize and hire people to sell around Germany, which is very expensive ...
It is also because of the high price of glass mirrors, and the profit of 10% is about 2,000 gold coins. Even if the cost is high, there will be at most a thousand gold coins. At that time, there will still be a profit of hundreds of gold coins ...
However, the Venetians believe that all countries in southern Germany, including Austria, are close to Venice, and they will come over the Alps. There is no need for Marin to make the profit of the sales of these southern German state agents.
So, in the end, the Venetian top management decided to give Marin the exclusive sales right of the Venetian glass mirror in the northern part of Germany. In the German state of Uttar Pradesh, the Venetians themselves are responsible for sales ...
In this way, Marin was given a face, and the Venetians were not delayed in earning money from the nearby German state of Uttar Pradesh. Of course, the exclusive sales right of the "United Kingdom of America" far away overseas is definitely Marin ... and in the Far East of Japan and Ryukyu under Marin's name ...
Although he didn't completely reach his goal ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, Marin was not dissatisfied. Because, he requested the exclusive sales right, which was a guise, not a real purpose.
Then, Marin put forward his own request-not to disclose the number of Venetian glass mirrors he sold ...
The reason is that Marin lied and said that he was afraid of the other German princes knowing that ... The Venetian also knew that Marin was in an awkward position among the German princes, and even believed his ghost ...
At the same time, Marin also proposed that-in addition to northern Germany, nobles and merchants in other regions, if they take the initiative to buy from him, Venice is not dissatisfied ...
The Venetian heart said-I will give you the price of 90% of the price, can you still reduce the price and compete with the local Venice? Unless, you do n’t want to make money anymore ...
As a result, the Venice side agreed to Marin's "meaningless" request and wrote it on the agency contract ...
"Awesome, finally got the agency!" Marin waved his fist in excitement. With an undisclosed number of agency contracts as cover, Marin can ship privately and hide behind the Venetians to make big money ...
