The emergence of glass in this era was undoubtedly a highly profitable industry, and its potential for immense profit made even Xiao Ming unable to remain calm.
For this reason, he entrusted the management rights of glass to his Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.
However, if Xiao Ming monopolized the glass trade, merchants from other regions would naturally be displeased. They might cause trouble when operating in their own territories. Therefore, Xiao Ming proposed a plan to auction off the sales rights for glass after six months.
This way, he could not only secure the first wave of profits but also appease these merchants.
A few days later, the glass exhibition Xiao Ming had promised officially took place in the East Market. All the glass produced by the workers in recent days was put on display.
Xiao Ming even dispatched soldiers from the Qingzhou army to maintain order at the event.
Merchants were already accustomed to the new terminology emerging in Qingzhou. Once they understood the meaning of the exhibition, they flocked to the event.
“Is this glass?”
Merchants whispered among themselves. Like Wang Shijie and Qin Mu, they were deeply震撼ed by this unfamiliar material the moment they saw it.
“Transparent, cool to the touch, smooth as skin—this is truly a divine creation.”
At the exhibition, merchants were allowed to pick up and examine the glass. After inspecting it, some exclaimed in awe.
