At that time, both fame and fortune will be absolutely necessary.

Even my own workshop can now consider contacting Linghu Investment Company and discussing the arrangements for listing and trading on the Datang Stock Exchange.

When we have dinner with our classmates, our status will be really equal.

Thinking of this, Hong Yi's heart became even hotter.

"I'll go with you. I know both Li Yan and Zhao Xiaoer.

I also dealt with them at Guanshishan Academy before.

If they really don’t want to sell it, then I will go to Liu Jie or Wang Fugui to coordinate with you, so that they can believe that there is no harm in cooperation with us.”

Since Lai Yuanhong has chosen to cooperate with Hong Yi, he naturally hopes to make this project complete.

Besides, he proposed this project himself.

“That would be the best!

I think this matter should be a big problem if you rely on your help.”

...

In the Engine Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy, Rao Yongxiang and Lian Zhijian's face were relatively solemn.

As the dean of the School of Chemical Science and Technology, going to do engine research seems to have stolen the limelight of the School of Geology.

However, his original turmeric oil research institute was not left behind.

As the most profitable workshop in the School of Chemical Engineering, the kerosene workshop under the turmeric oil research institute is now the main kerosene manufacturer in Datang.

Although the popularity of kerosene lamps is not particularly high, the sales volume is also very considerable every year.

Among the wealthy and wealthy merchants in Chang'an City, no one does not have a kerosene lamp.

However, when Rao Yongxiang immediately felt a sense of crisis when he saw that the Steam Engine Institute, a subsidiary of the Gyu Academy, had now developed the electric light.

As a new academy of Guanshishan Academy, the School of Chemical Technology is now very popular.

In some occasions, the School of Chemical Technology can already put the School of Internal Medicine below.

In this way, the relationship between the two academies naturally becomes subtle.

Although everyone is under Guanshishan Academy, they are very united when they are external.

However, internal competition will inevitably arise.

In this regard, both Li Kuan and Liu Jie are willing to see moderate competition.

"Master, although this electric light has been made in the laboratory, it is still very high in terms of service life and production cost.

It should not pose much threat to our kerosene workshop in a short period of time."

Lian Zhijian thought for a long time and gave his own judgment.

"That's right, it is definitely impossible to threaten our kerosene workshop in a short period of time.

But from a long-term perspective, the advantage of a light bulb is that kerosene lamps cannot be compared.

Whether it is aesthetics, safety, or brightness, no one is the same level of rivals.

If kerosene lamps are relatively primitive lighting tools, then electric lamps are new products full of technology.

Obviously, when these two products are placed in front of the Prince's Hall, he must support the light bulb."

As the dean of the School of Chemical Engineering, Rao Yongxiang's height of looking at problems is naturally beyond the reach of Jian Zhijian.

Otherwise, he would not have attached so much importance to the papers published by Li Yan and Zhao Xiaoer in the Journal of Science.

With the current technical level of Datang, it is impossible to promote light bulbs on a large scale within ten years.

But many things are not just in front of you.

"Our kerosene production is getting bigger and bigger now, and the academy has also set up a special exploration team to search for the existence of turmeric mines in various places.

After further expanding the production of kerosene in the future, kerosene lamps have hope to enter thousands of households.

Even the price of whale oil candles is falling, and it is impossible to compare with our kerosene lamps.

I believe His Royal Highness can understand this.

I think the electric light can only exist like a luxury product, and it has no practical significance to most people.

There is no special practical significance for at least ten years.”

Lian Zhijian sticks to his point of view and adds some explanations there.

"What you said is correct, but the kerosene workshop is now a company listed and traded on the Datang Stock Exchange.

For those who buy stocks, their perspective on the problem is not exactly the same as that of us.

Some time ago, I had a meal with Linghu Wujiang and had communicated with them about how investors view the stock prices of various workshops."

Rao Yongxiang recalled the previous scene in his mind, thinking about how to make Lian Zhijian understand that the situation he was thinking was not so optimistic.

"Master, they look at the stock price of the workshop. Isn't it that our workshop can generate, its market share, and its annual turnover.

Then how is the growth rate of profit and turnover?"

Lian Zhijian was also a person who bought stocks. After hearing his master's words, he immediately raised his own questions.

"The things you said are naturally what they need to consider.

But this will only have a small-scale fluctuation effect on stock prices.

If you want a workshop's stock to change by several times or dozens of times, it is not enough to just look at these.

At this time, the most important indicator is imagination.

That is, whether the future of your workshop is full of imagination and whether it makes people feel that the future is very broad.

Before, our kerosene workshop was a promising workshop, and the future market space was very huge.

So from the time of listing, our stock price has risen several times and will continue to rise.

But now a light bulb appears, and everyone will have some concerns.

In the future, will the wealthy businessmen of the Tang Dynasty give up using kerosene lamps or reduce the time they use kerosene lamps?

Turn to using light bulbs.

There is no way to completely deny this possibility."

After Rao Yongxiang said this, Lian Zhijian understood a little.

But he felt it was wronged.

"Master, although we cannot fully prove that this possibility still does not exist.

But even if wealthy businessmen really use light bulbs, the future of our kerosene lamps is still broad.

The Tang Dynasty is so big that many places have inconvenient transportation.

Not to mention using light bulbs, even kerosene lamps are also a luxury for them.

At this time, the appearance of the light bulb has no effect on our kerosene lamp at all."

Lian Zhijian felt it was so unfair.

Obviously, there will be no conflict between the two products in a short period of time, why don’t those investors think so?

“Different people stand on different positions and have different views on the issue.

For companies like Linghu Investment Company, although they are willing to spend money to invest in some emerging industries.

However, they invest in enterprises full of imagination space. If other workshops are considered traditional workshops, the possibility of being favored by them is relatively low.

Of course, we don’t have to worry about the hardship of the kerosene workshop, which is definitely not possible.

However, it is probably difficult for the stocks of kerosene workshops to rise dozens of times."

Rao Yongxiang explained his point of view with some regret.

The Datang Stock Exchange has an increasingly greater influence on the Datang.

Many people in Chang'an City have purchased stocks from some workshops.

Many people hold a stock for a long time.

"If the stock price of our kerosene workshop is really affected by the light bulb, I guess those people from the Gate School would definitely be gloating.

It is very likely that when the research funds are allocated next year, the College of Geophysics will use the reason to study electric lights and related products, and the lion will open his mouth."

Whether in later generations or now, there will definitely be a fierce competition for funding among colleges in academies.

There is no way, the amount of funding means to a certain extent the amount of your experimental results.

Although this is not absolute, it has a very close relationship.

In particular, some experiments require a lot of money.

If you don’t have enough funds, even if you have a lot of ideas, it will be difficult to confirm the authenticity.

You can't guess everything in a paper, right?
