564: Ruthlessly slaughtering Northern Frontier (I)

If we were to say what was the most popular thing in Northern Frontier this year, it would be the Tiangong colored glaze that was the center of attention.

What is Tiangong colored glaze?

To put it simply, it is glass, or opaque glass with a little bit of colorful light.

Because Gu Xin fabricated a lofty origin for glass, saying that glass was a fairy product that accompanied the golden phoenix to the ground, and each piece was magnificent, so glass had another lofty name - Tiangong colored glaze, which means a treasure from the heavenly palace.

The first lady who bought Tiangong colored glaze jewelry once became the focus of the circle of noble ladies in Northern Frontier.

Wherever she went, the eyes of others followed her, and they were fascinated by the dragon and phoenix hairpin on her temples. She also became the object of jealousy for many noble ladies, who kept urging their servants to find Jubaozhai to inquire about the news, and insisted on having the same or even better colored glaze hairpin.

The hairpin is crystal clear, with a dragon and a phoenix intertwined, the dragon scales and phoenix feathers are fine and lifelike, the phoenix spreads its wings and is about to fly, the handsome dragon is about to soar into the sky, the phoenix and dragon mouths each hold a string of transparent beads, shining brightly under the light.

Women can't resist such beautiful and shining things, but Jubaozhai has not had any news for a long time. Facing so many jealous and envious eyes, the lady enjoys it very much. Thanks to her free publicity, Tiangong Liuli quickly became popular in the circle of noble ladies in Northern Xinjiang.

As a businessman, Gu Xin raised everyone's appetite and then found an opportunity to launch new glass products.

Glass tea sets sell very well, but the most popular ones are jewelry, and each one sells at a very high price.

In the past year, Gu Xin's Jubaozhai has sold hundreds of pieces one after another, and the huge profits are enviable.

Merchants in Northern Xinjiang also want to make this money, but they have no way to get such good things, so they can only watch Gu Xin make money.

It can be said that over the past year, glass has become a reflection of the status of the nobles in Northern Xinjiang. If a family does not have a collection of glass jewelry, it is not possible to show their generosity. If a noble lady does not wear one or two glass jewelry, it seems that she is too embarrassed to go out and dare not entertain guests.

The most generous noble lady is Wuliba's wife. Her family runs a business, and her husband is a "wise man" trusted by the king of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court. Every time Jubaozhai gets new products, she is always the first to get the news and contributes a lot of consumption.

Among all the noble ladies in Northern Xinjiang, only she has collected several sets of glass jewelry headwear, and every time she goes out to entertain guests, she attracts the attention of most people.

Full of generosity!

The so-called "lead by example" is applicable not only in Dongqing, but also in Northern Xinjiang.

Wuliba's wife has a high status in the circle of noble ladies. They admire these "Heavenly Palace Glass". Those noble ladies with a slightly lower status are naturally envious, but their family property is not as rich as others. When they receive the news that Jubaozhai has purchased goods, the things have been bought.

Things that cannot be bought with money can better reflect the noble status.

In order to meet the needs of these noble ladies, Gu Xin smiled bitterly and agreed to help search, and they barely gave up.

After waiting and waiting, they finally got the news from Jubaozhai.

This time was the largest ever, with a total of 20 sets of relatively perfectly preserved "Heavenly Palace Colored Glaze" headpieces.

This news caused ripples in the circle of noble ladies in Northern Xinjiang, and Jubaozhai was filled with carriages and servants from various mansions.

Wuliba's wife was still the vanguard, and she generously paid 670,000 strings of cash to buy two sets of the most gorgeous and beautiful headpieces.

Other ladies wanted to compete for it, but they weighed their own property and found that it was no match for the business of their mother's family.

So, they could only settle for the second best and buy other jewelry headpieces.

Jubaozhai was very "sighted" and presented a set of it to the harem of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court, giving it to the most noble woman.

The queen was also very interesting. After getting it, she dressed up and held a banquet, making a good show of herself.

For a time, from the upper class to the lower class, the nobles of Northern Xinjiang all valued "Heavenly Palace Colored Glaze".

The only drawback is that this thing is fragile and very delicate.

But think about it, beautiful jade will also break if it falls to the ground. "Heavenly Palace Colored Glaze" should also be the jade of heaven, so it is normal to be accidentally broken.

Under such circumstances, many merchants coveted this thing to the extreme, and they wanted to replace Jubaozhai.

The "Heavenly Palace Colored Glaze" in the black market of Northern Xinjiang was even more hyped up.

Doing a business, the profit is often millions of strings of cash, who wouldn't be jealous!

Soon, their opportunity came.

They tried to bribe the servants and managers of Jubaozhai with money. With money and beauty, they hesitated for nearly a year, and they finally gave in.

"What——" The head of a business in Northern Xinjiang trembled, and the wine in his hand almost spilled out. He said in surprise, "The number of Tiangong colored glaze unearthed in Mei County is not more than 200 pieces, but... more than 2,000 pieces? Most of them are in the hands of that old fox Gu Xin?"

The manager of Jubaozhai who was "turned against" nodded, and then showed an angry expression again.

"That Gu Xin made enough money, but he was very greedy, only cared about filling his own pockets, and didn't care about his old friend at all! This time, if it weren't for your kindness, I'm afraid my family would be destroyed-" The manager of Jubaozhai sighed, with a sad look on his face.

The head of the Northern Xinjiang business laughed secretly. If he hadn't used a trick to frame the manager's family and make them owe a huge debt, I'm afraid this fat fish would not be hooked, and he wouldn't be able to get such shocking news... This Gu Xin is really an old fox.

The head of the business pretended to be surprised and asked, "Since there are so many goods, why did he keep hiding that there are no goods?"

The manager of Jubaozhai smiled bitterly and asked back, "You are also a businessman, how can you not know that scarcity makes things valuable? The fewer things there are, the more people want them, and the higher the price they offer, so that Tiangong Colored Lithium can be sold at a good price. If they are all put out at once, how can they sell so well? Gu Xin has used this method to death, but there are still so many people rushing to give him money, alas-"

The manager of Jubaozhai sighed, and the head of the business twisted his beard and smiled, "In business, as for this businessman, I admire Gu Xin very much. A businessman from Dongqing can gain a foothold in the northern border and has been doing business for so many years. It is indeed worth learning from his methods."

Peers are enemies. Who wouldn't be jealous of Gu Xin making a lot of money?

The head of the business thought about it. If he had so many "Tiangong Colored Lithium", he would probably sell them as soon as possible. How could he operate it as patiently as Gu Xin and hype its value to the peak? It is true that Gu Xin did not sell much, but he did make a lot of money.

However, it is a pity that Gu Xin is good at doing business and controlling his subordinates, but his ability to prevent thieves from his house...

Tsk tsk tsk.

There is no corner that cannot be pried open in this world, only a hoe that is not wielded hard.
