Chapter 58 Tendering

A huge convoy of more than 80 carriages approached Wuyang City, but the convoy seemed a little strange. Seeing this strange team, people expressed their opinions:

"This carriage is so big, can this horse be pulled?"

"Looking at the ruts on the ground, what a heavy carriage, how many things have been pulled! Poor horse, it's so cruel to cherish the horse so much."

"Idiot, don't know, this carriage uses bearings. According to my neighbor's son, after their carriage uses bearings, the carriage is more than three or five times easier. If you add a few more wheels, a horse can pull hundreds of stones of goods."

"Is that true?" Everyone looked at it, and the horse was not tired at all.

All of these carriages were two horses in parallel, and a carriage that was ten feet long, six feet wide and five feet high was four wheels. Judging from the ruts on the ground, almost all vehicles were loaded with cargo.

There were more than 80 carriages, stretching a mile away, slowly reaching outside the gate of Wuyang City, arousing countless curiosities.

Song Xing took the lead in dismounting and waited quietly.

Soon a royal guard came out, "Your Majesty has an order, and all the carriages will enter the city immediately."

The guards walked in front, and Song Xing and others got out of the car behind and led their horses forward. Under the "protection and custody" of more royal guards, the mighty team entered the palace directly, and finally waited one by one in the guard field - the place where the guards were trained and gathered.

His Majesty the Emperor walked forward with Fu Minghui.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Song Xing quickly greeted him.

"Song Xing, tell me how many things did Li Xian bring to me?" His Majesty the Emperor was very happy. Li Xian was very quick. Less than two months after "escape" back to Anyang, he replied to himself that the first batch of textile machines had been prepared. But he did not mention the specific quantity, but just gave him a surprise.

His Majesty the Emperor regarded Li Xian as a joke; there were not many rules and regulations in this world of practice.

Song Xing presented a simple document, but said fluently: "The main ones are bearings, spindles and sea soul silk. There are a total of 12,000 bearings and 6,000 spindles, and a hundred kilometers of sea soul silk.

In addition, there are the princess’s dowry, totaling 10,000 taels of gold, a thousand mirrors, 30 large crystal chandeliers, and 200 sets of stainless steel weapons and armor. There are 20 tons of stainless steel ingots.”

When His Majesty the Emperor heard this, he was very happy, "Okay, okay, haha. But speaking of it, the industrial standards of your Brilliant Star Trading Company are indeed very good."

It turns out that in the past two months, the industrial fire ignited by Li Xian has burned the entire Daxia Kingdom, and the unified industrial standards introduced by Li Xian have gradually been accepted by everyone - everyone has seen the benefits of unified specifications.

Besides, Brilliant Star Trading Company is the only one who is the only one who strongly guides the market and leads the development of the entire industry through the so-called "standard parts". Everyone has to follow Li Xian's footsteps. If you don't follow Li Xian's standards, you won't be able to use the bearings!

In addition, internally, Brilliant Star Trading Company has been officially upgraded to a "group", but externally, everyone is still used to calling it "trading company". These are all small issues, so don't worry about it.

Soon, personnel from the Royal Trading Company came to count and settle. As a bride price, they naturally did not need to settle, but as the bearings, spindles and sea soul silks of the goods, they had to settle.

One tael of silver is sold for one tael of bearings - Li Xian is very unscrupulous. One tael of silver costs one thousand copper plates, which is similar to the purchasing power of one thousand yuan; if someone on earth dares to sell an ordinary bearing of one thousand yuan, he will be beaten to death.

The engine's small spindle is cheap, one tael of silver costs 50 pieces. The reason why the spindle is so cheap is because it is easy to refine the spindle with magic. Of course, all the engine spindles sold by Li Xian are small and medium-sized.

The sea soul silk is the most expensive. Even if it is sold to His Majesty the Emperor, it will be sold at a 20% discount, and it will still be four taels of gold per meter! One hundred kilometers will cost 400,000 taels of gold!

The amount of gold is too large, and His Majesty the Emperor cannot take it out. But it doesn’t matter. His Majesty the Emperor has a way to get it. A hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum costs 20,000 to 30,000 taels of gold, and His Majesty the Emperor is very "graceful" based on 30,000 taels of gold. There are also a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng, which is 40,000 to 50,000 taels, and His Majesty the Emperor is still very "graceful" based on 50,000 taels.

In this way, all payments will be completed with 10 centenary Ganoderma lucidum and 2 centenary Lingjin. As for the 132 taels of gold in the bearing and spindle, it was rounded up by His Majesty the Emperor.

Song Xing was sweating in a cold sweat when he listened to His Majesty's "authorization". Fortunately, Xu Ren had already confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to pay the debt, so it would be good to get these. What's more, the prices of goods here in Li Xian were also inflated.

After leaving the palace with an empty carriage, Song Xing first went to Li's mansion to report the situation, gave Li Yulong the precious century-old medicinal materials, and then left Wuyang City and moved into the Li's mansion workshop outside Wuyang City.

However, countless merchants have arrived here.

"Mr. Song is here."

"Hello, Lord Song."

...

But Li Xian was the commander-in-chief, so Song Xing also got a small official.

Song Xing slowly walked up to such a call, "Thank you for your support. Today, on behalf of the Brilliant Star Group, that is, Brilliant Star Trading Company, I will release a message:

We will hold regional agency tenders.

We will make money together, and we will start an agent in one month. At present, Brilliant Star Group has bearings and spindles, big bells, silk, cotton cloth, kudzu, mirrors and glass products as well as colored lights, finished engines, stainless steel weapons and steel ingots, large pieces of complete equal-thick steel plates, which can be used as thick glass plates for building materials, screws and nuts and other products.

We held public tenders for all items in January, which is April 1st, on this pleasant day (O(∩_∩)O ha!).

The tender overview is:

First, each product is tendered separately.

Second, the scope is the 12 counties in the Daxia Kingdom, except for Wuyang and Anyang, the remaining 10 counties.

The Cai, Qi, Chen and Jin around the Daxia Kingdom also recruited a general agent.

Third, we will auction at a 30% discount on the market price, and the higher the price will be awarded.

Fourth, do not owe credit, and pay the money in cash.

Fifth, each agent defaults to three years; the inspection will be conducted every three years. If the results are not ideal, then we will terminate the contract and find a new agent.

Sixth, where there are agents, we will no longer interfere in sales. The original Brilliant Star Store will be transformed into an after-sales service point to be responsible for product quality maintenance. In other words, we have taken responsibility for after-sales maintenance, and you don’t need to worry about this at all.

This is probably the case. If you have any questions, you can ask now."

"I'll ask!" A man squeezed out hard, "Captain Song, is this agent only responsible for his area?"

"Yes, according to the existing county division, everyone is only responsible for the corresponding goods and the corresponding areas. They must not cross the boundaries. But this is only theoretical. After all, we do not have the ability and cannot be responsible for the situation between you."

"I understand." The man stepped down.

Another person stood up, "Mr. Song, can one person only serve one item, or multiple items?"

Song Xing smiled slightly: "As long as you have the ability, we will not limit it. As a businessman, there are no things that cannot be compared with money."

"Haha, Lord Song is right."

Next, someone asked some questions, which involved almost all aspects, and Song Xing also answered them one by one.

Finally, someone asked a key question, and this person was quite arrogant: "Song Xing, you want to be an agent, and you want to produce a lot of production. Can you ask how much of your production of cloth, bearings, iron ingots, steel plates, etc."

Song Xingyi raised his head, "As of four days ago, we weaved 12,000 pieces of cloth a day, 5,000 sets of bearings, iron ingots and steel plates a day, etc., and glass a day yielded 500 tons.

It is expected that by August this year, all of our products will be able to increase production by more than triple, or even more.”

"What a big tone."

Song Xing smiled proudly, "Because we are the Brilliant Star Group, because we ignited the industrial fire. Everyone, welcome everyone to our headquarters.

See you again!"
