Chapter 824: The Unstoppable Madness

The entire room went crazy.

A single creative idea for a Hot Water Bag could sell for five hundred taels?

And those present were all incredibly shrewd and mature merchants!

They could also figure it out. This five hundred taels could bring Liu Zheng at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in revenue!

Patent Right.

For the first time, it was held in people's hearts like a treasure.

The room exploded, with discussions erupting everywhere.

Liu Zheng smiled slightly.

This was exactly the effect he wanted. He was not solely focused on building momentum for his Coal Ball Stove Patent Right; his vision was actually much grander. In his conception, the Liaodong Economic Special Zone was to follow the same path as the London of his past life. What did London's development rely on? The Industrial Revolution, as well as the development of handicrafts and manufacturing.

Rather than free industry.

What Liu Zheng wanted to develop in Liaodong was free manufacturing.

Admittedly, in Liangzhou, the current manufacturing industry is second to none globally.

But in reality, Liangzhou is closer to a planned industry.

Only then can it truly be called an Economic Special Zone.

If it were as conservative as the interior of the Longyan Dynasty, then what would be the point, what progress would there be, and what advantages would remain?

He wanted to mobilize the creativity of the entire populace, giving them enough room for free expression, sufficient policy and financial support, and enough free market trade.

This.

He was going to use this to revitalize this stagnant place!

To stimulate the creativity of all talent to the fullest!

Patent Right.

That was the first concept he wanted to establish!

A Coal Ball Stove was brought up.

Afterwards, everyone stared at it intently.

"Now, we begin the auction for the Patent Right of the Coal Ball Stove! Of course, as for how the item performs, let everyone try it out first!"

Ignoring the shock of others, Liu Zheng laughed heartily.

This time, the person responsible for operating the Coal Ball Stove was none other than Prince Yong, who was looking to find a sense of presence.

Bloated in figure and laughing heartily, he skillfully opened the Coal Ball Stove, lit the fire, and then placed the Honeycomb Coal inside.

If not for the five hundred taels for the Hot Water Bag just now, others might not have felt anything. But having seen that creating wealth was this simple, no one could remain unmoved. Whether it was the five hundred taels from that burly man or the tens of thousands of taels Liu Zheng would earn later, no one could remain indifferent.

Staring tightly, no one wanted to miss a thing.

Glowing red, a wave of warmth rushed toward them.

Stove.

Following that.

Very quickly, the Honeycomb Coal grew in the cold wind.

But this Honeycomb Coal stove was definitely a first-time sight.

The holes, one after another, began to emit flames.

People had seen them before.

Even coal stoves were nothing rare to everyone.

This still did not make these people unable to contain themselves.

They had not yet discovered where the core competitiveness of this Coal Ball Stove lay.

People's eyes were wide open.

However.

He had someone bring over some coal dust, then mixed it with clay and water. Eight parts coal dust, two parts clay, and then, using a tool, he made a piece of Honeycomb Coal. Of course, this piece of Honeycomb Coal could not be used for the time being; it was just for show.

But despite this.

"Hahahaha, everyone look closely!"

Prince Yong naturally knew what they were waiting for.

"Dirt can also be burned?"

Don't look at the fact that it was only twenty percent; this production cost was much lower than ordinary coal. Moreover, this coal dust was originally the cheapest form of coal. In many places where coal was produced, even commoners could collect this coal dust. In other words, it was estimated that even commoners could afford this Honeycomb Coal!

"This"

"This works too?"

The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

There was not a sound.

It was over.

The demonstration was over.

Before these people came here, they absolutely had not expected that this Coal Ball Stove could bring them such a huge surprise.

Heart moved.

Of course, what was even more important was that the heat-generating capacity of this Coal Ball Stove was actually much stronger than the coal stoves they used! Those coal stoves were something only the royal family and nobility could afford to use!

Silence.

Then what about this thirty million taels' worth of Coal Ball Stoves?

The entire population of Liaodong could use them.

No one could remain unmoved.

The five hundred taels from Vice Minister Liu just now could yield him tens of thousands of taels in returns.

How many households are there in Longyan?

The pricing of a Coal Ball Stove is also up to you. At the beginning, you can set a high price, and then slowly lower it later. I fear that the first wave alone, the money from selling to those imperial nobles, would be enough to reach thirty million.

No.

The entire populace of Longyan can use it.

This time, the Patent Right for the Coal Ball Stove comes together with the Honeycomb Coal.

If this were held in one's hands.

And these coal balls.

Which is to say, the Honeycomb Coal.

Silence.

Still silence.

The breathing of some people had already begun to become rapid and heavy.

Their eyes were fixed.

Because he knew what would happen next.

"Thirty million!"

Prince Yong glanced at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng, however, was in no rush, chuckling.

This could be considered the true opening of the auction's prelude.

"Hahahaha, Lao Wang, you want to take it with thirty million? Are you dreaming? Thirty-one million!"

Sure enough.

A bigwig from the Chu-Shu Chamber of Commerce shouted out.

"Thirty-three million!"

"Thirty-four million!"

Tang Feng of the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce stood out.

"Thirty-two million!"

It would undoubtedly turn the Coal Ball Stove into a highly sought-after commodity.

What they valued was likewise the profit of the entire Chain.

This time, there were many people who came to Liaodong following Liu Zheng, and each of them held great wealth.

The Little Ice Age.

"Forty-one million!"

"Forty-two million!"

Coal Ball Stove, coal, Honeycomb Coal.

"Forty million!"

They were almost about to fight.

"My god."

These wealthy men had all gone mad.

Arguing until their faces were red and ears were hot.

Over forty million taels of silver?

These people were truly wealthy!

Prince Yong was scared silly.

The others were also wearing expressions of bewilderment.

The entire venue had gone mad.

The ridiculous thing is, before, when Liu Zheng said that the Patent Right for this Coal Ball Stove could start at a minimum of thirty million, Prince Yong and the others were still worried about whether it would be too expensive, whether no one would show interest, and if that were the case, it would be truly embarrassing.

Looking at it like this, over forty million, it simply couldn't stop.

Crazy.

Those commoners and the public at the scene had also all gone mad.

Each and every one of them was infected by the atmosphere at the scene.

But today.

He was truly impressed by this Liu Zheng.

As if with the arrival of the Vice Minister, it was about to be activated?

Lively.

Liaodong had probably not been this crazy for a long time.

The ice-covered, freezing, and lifeless Liaodong.

Hope.

Everyone was in it.

Excitement.

Participation.

The wealthy were in it.

Everyone was in it.

Inside was a Hot Water Bag worth five hundred taels of silver.

Tens of millions of taels were inside.

They were crazy.

Following these wealthy men, the bids were called out time after time.

The commoners, who had not been very familiar with Vice Minister Liu before, cheered again and again.

Only then did Liu Zheng heave a sigh of relief in his heart.
