Chapter 75 Thunderbolt Trade Fair
The explosive popularity of glass mirrors gave Tan Qianqian and Tan’s Company great confidence.

Moreover, the action of making and selling glass mirrors was proposed by Lu Changjing, which made Tan Qianqian more convinced of Lu Changjing, the fake emperor.

We thought it would take at least a few days to sell out the glass mirrors, but they were sold out on the first day of sale.

It cost a full 100 million copper coins, but the cost was only 1%, which is one million copper coins, and the net profit was nearly 100 million copper coins.

If converted into silver taels, it would be 10,000 taels of silver, and 100 taels of gold.

It doesn't sound like much, but if you think about how profitable it is, you will know how terrifying it is.

Nearly a hundred times the profit, looking around the world, how many products can reach this level?

The population of the Da Ning Dynasty exceeds one billion. Even if every person buys only one glass mirror, it can bring more than 100 million taels of silver to Lu Changjing and the Tan Company.

Besides, glass mirrors are not just low-end products that cost a hundred copper coins. There are also various more exquisite high-end glass mirrors, which require not copper coins but silver or even gold.

On the night when the glass mirror sold well, Tan Qianqian secretly gave Lu Changjing a large number of resources and treasures, whose value far exceeded ten thousand taels of silver.

It is obvious that Tan Qianqian is extremely optimistic about the prospects of glass products and is grateful for the 10% profit.

With the profits provided by the glass mirrors, Lu Changjing can feel more at ease in the future. At least after he becomes the emperor in place of Ning Zhongyu, he will not be short of money.

As an emperor, it would be a joke if even the royal secret treasury and his own small treasury were empty.

However, Lu Changjing and Tan Qianqian both knew that glass products could only bring wealth in the form of gold and silver, and it was difficult to exchange them for spirit stones and other spiritual objects.

The most important commodity is still gunpowder, or to be more precise, thunderbolts made of gunpowder. This is the key point, and the profit far exceeds that of glass products.

There is a certain barrier between spiritual stones and spiritual objects on the one hand, and gold and silver on the other. If you want to exchange ordinary gold and silver for spiritual stones and spiritual objects on the other, the premium required is more than two or three times, and they are often out of stock.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of most people, spiritual stones and spiritual objects are extraordinary things, while gold and silver are ordinary things.

When classifying the levels of weapons, elixirs, formations, etc., it can be seen that, for example, the weapons, elixirs, formations, etc. used by warriors are called ordinary medicines, ordinary weapons, ordinary formations...

But when it comes to the weapons, elixirs, formations, etc. used by the Grandmaster, they are called spiritual medicines, spiritual elixirs, spiritual weapons, spiritual formations...

It is easy to exchange extraordinary things for ordinary things, but it is not easy to exchange ordinary things for extraordinary things.

But at the level of Lu Changjing and Tan Qianqian, no matter how many ordinary objects they have, they are of no help to their practice. Only spiritual objects can make them make rapid progress.

Therefore, compared with glass products, thunderbolts, the first commodity derived from gunpowder, are more important to the two.

In order to sell the Thunderbolt Seeds, Tan Qianqian specially held a trade fair and invited most of the masters of Baiyujing to participate, including a grand master of the tenth level of Meridian Forging.

It was not a public trade fair, but an internal trade fair of Tan’s Trading Company.

Thanks to the reputation of Tan's business that has been passed down for thousands of years, on the day of the trade fair, nearly a hundred masters of the Forging Veins Realm came to Tan's Waterside Bamboo Forest. "Recently, Tan's business has been very prosperous. Just now, they invented glass products, and in the blink of an eye, they have a special spiritual tool for sale. It seems that Tan's business is going to prosper again."

"It is said that the power of this thunderbolt is comparable to that of low-level and mid-level talismans, but the price is only a fraction of that. Is this true? Is there such a good and cheap spiritual weapon?"

"If there is any, buy it. If not, just look at it. Just consider it as giving face to Tan's Trading Company. It only takes a little time anyway. Besides, Tan's Trading Company's hospitality is good. There are actually quite a few spiritual fruits and spiritual meats in this waterside bamboo forest."

"I heard that the glass and the thunderbolts were not made by Tan's company themselves, but were given to Tan's company by a big shot above. Tan's company can only share a small amount of profits from them."

……

A group of masters tasted the various spiritual fruits, spiritual meats and spiritual wines prepared by the Tan Company, while discussing curiously and guessing whether the matter was true or not.

After the You hour, seeing that most people had arrived, Tan Qianqian led several high-level masters and grand masters hired by the Tan Trading Company, and a group of beautiful maids into the trading ground in the bamboo forest by the waterside.

In the hands of these maids, there were plates of black thunder seeds.

These thunder seeds are mainly divided into two types, one is the size of a thumb and the other is the size of an apricot. They are thoughtfully labeled with low-level thunder seeds and mid-level thunder seeds respectively.

Among them, there are as many as a thousand low-level thunderbolt seeds and a hundred mid-level thunderbolt seeds.

Looking at the curious eyes of the masters, Tan Qianqian did not say too much nonsense. After a brief greeting, he began to introduce everyone.

"The items on the plate are the merchandise of this trade fair, and they are also the only merchandise, Thunderbolt seeds. The small ones are low-level Thunderbolt seeds, and the larger ones are mid-level Thunderbolt seeds. As for the more powerful high-level and top-level Thunderbolt seeds, they are still under development and cannot be sold at the moment."

"The power of low-level Thunderbolts is equivalent to that of low-level Fire Spirit Talismans, and the price of Fire Spirit Talismans is well known. Three low-level Fire Spirit Talismans are worth one low-grade Spirit Stone. However, the price of our low-level Thunderbolts is much lower than that of low-level Fire Spirit Talismans. One low-grade Spirit Stone can buy ten low-level Thunderbolts. The power of the two is almost the same, and low-level Thunderbolts are even slightly better."

"As for the intermediate thunderbolt seeds, their power is similar to that of the intermediate fire spirit talisman, but one intermediate fire spirit talisman requires one low-grade spirit stone, while our intermediate thunderbolt seeds only require one-third of a low-grade spirit stone, which means that one low-grade spirit stone can buy three intermediate thunderbolt seeds."

……

As soon as the words fell, the whole room was in an uproar, and many masters exclaimed in surprise.

"Is this true? The power of a low-level Thunderbolt is comparable to that of a low-level Fire Spirit Talisman, but the price is less than one-third of that. Is it really so cheap?"

"Intermediate Thunderbolt Seeds are about the same. This price is too cheap. Could it be that the Thunderbolt Seeds are not that powerful, or have other flaws? Otherwise, why would they be so cheap?"

"If it's true, I'll definitely buy this good thing. It's much more cost-effective than buying a talisman. This kind of thing can be a life-saving treasure at a critical moment."

"Master Tan, why don't you test the power of the Thunderbolt Seeds to see if they can reach the level of the Fire Spirit Talisman. If they are as good as you say, we can buy all of them for you."

……

Looking at the many masters with doubtful expressions, Tan Qianqian agreed without hesitation, ready to let everyone witness the power of Thunderbolt with their own eyes.
