The merchants stared at Xiao Ming, and after his words fell, there was a brief silence.
Finally, Ding Wanquan was the first to speak. He said, “Your Highness said that you cannot easily agree, which means there is still a chance for us. We hope Your Highness can clarify.”
“Please clarify, Your Highness,” the other merchants echoed in unison.
Xiao Ming glanced at Ding Wanquan. This old man was indeed good at reading people, which was why he had amassed such a fortune. However, Xiao Ming wasn’t someone who could be easily fooled.
“You’ve all seen the glass. Its value is immeasurable, and I’m sure you’ve already formed your own estimates. If it were to be sold, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation across the Great Yu Empire and amass a vast fortune,” Xiao Ming said.
The merchants exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Ming continued, “The production cost of glass is extremely high. Handing it over to you now would result in significant losses for me.”
The statement about the high cost of glass was a lie, but it was easy for those unfamiliar with the process to believe, as glass seemed so extraordinary to them.
Seeing Xiao Ming’s troubled expression, Ding Wanquan said, “Your Highness, if you allow us to sell it, we will certainly not let you suffer losses. We can purchase the distribution rights.”
“That’s right, Your Highness. As long as you say the word, we have the silver,” the merchants chimed in.
Xiao Ming nodded at this point. “Even so, I’m afraid I won’t be able to provide so much glass at once. To be honest, my fief lacks skilled craftsmen, which is why glass production is slow.”
