Chapter 374 -352, Xiangyang Glass Factory_1

“I have already chosen the location for the Glass Factory; it’s on the outskirts of Ningmen Prefecture’s city, outside the city walls. In the future, when there is profit, I will give you and your three brothers fifty percent of the earnings,” Xiao Yeyang continued.

“Fifty percent?” Daohua showed surprise. “Isn’t that too much?”

Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile, “What, you think it’s too much silver?”

Daohua: “Of course, I don’t think there’s too much silver, but we haven’t done anything and you’d give us half of the profits. Doesn’t that seem like we are taking advantage of you?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “If it weren’t for the recipe you provided, I couldn’t have earned this money. How about this, you take twenty percent, and each of your three brothers takes ten percent?”

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was sincere about sharing the profits, Daohua no longer demurred and nodded with a smile: “Okay, okay, Xiao Yeyang, you better work hard and let me experience counting silver while lying down.”

Seeing her look enchanted by wealth, Xiao Yeyang burst into laughter, as did Gu Jian and Granny Gu, shaking their heads with a chuckle.

Daohua turned to Xiao Yeyang: “If I’m taking twenty percent of the profits, it wouldn’t be right to do nothing. If you need any help in the future, remember to come find me.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled: “As it happens, I do need your help with something.”

Daohua’s eyes widened: “What is it?”

Xiao Yeyang: “Wenxiu mentioned that you are very detail-oriented when it comes to bookkeeping. Help me with that sometime soon.”

Daohua waved her hand: “That’s a trivial matter. I’ll help you with it after we eat. By the way, when will your Glass Factory begin construction and what will it be named?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: “What do you think of the name ‘Yiyang Glass Factory’?”

“Yiyang?” Daohua laughed outright: “You might as well call it ‘Yiyangzi Glass Factory’.”

Xiao Yeyang frowned: “You don’t think it’s a good name?”

Daohua pondered for a moment: “It sounds odd. ‘Taiyang Glass Factory’ or ‘Xiangyang Glass Factory’ sound much better than ‘Yiyang Glass Factory,’ don’t you think?”

Xiao Yeyang looked toward Granny Gu and Gu Jian: “What do Granny and Master Gu think?”

Gu Jian glanced at Xiao Yeyang and snorted in his heart.

Yiyang, he must have combined his apprentice’s name with his own to come up with that.

His true intention was becoming all too apparent!

After glancing at his clueless apprentice, who was still happily laughing and had no idea, Gu Jian silently shook his head; his nephew still had a long way to go.

Granny Gu looked at the two children with a smile and after some thought said, “How about ‘Xiangyang Glass Factory’?”

Daohua immediately nodded: “That’s good.”

Xiao Yeyang, thinking back to the blessing Daohua gave him on his fifteenth birthday—thrive toward the sun—also smiled and nodded: “Then… let’s name it ‘Xiangyang Glass Factory’.”

With the name settled, the construction of the Glass Factory was nearly ready to start. Following that, Xiao Yeyang began to come and go early and late, personally getting involved in the construction of the Glass Factory.

This was the first time he had taken charge of something all by himself, without relying on anyone else. Every detail of the preparations had been directly overseen by him as he wanted it done perfectly.

He wanted to show everyone who cared about him, as well as those who had deeply hurt him with harsh words, that he was no longer the child who could only vent his frustration and indignation with anger in the face of injustice and inequality.

Daohua had planned to stay for only a few days and then return home, but because Xiao Yeyang was building the Glass Factory, every time he came back, he would discuss the construction’s progress with her, so she did not rush to leave.

Although she didn’t know much about the specifics of factory construction, in the information-rich future, she had seen and heard about some factory construction projects. Occasionally, when Xiao Yeyang hit a bottleneck, she was able to give him a tip or two, which helped him out a lot.

Through the discussion and cooperation between the two of them, Daxia’s first Glass Factory gradually took shape.

…

While Xiao Yeyang was busy establishing the Glass Factory in Ningmen Prefecture, back in Beijing, the Emperor personally allocated land to the Ministry of Works to begin construction of the Beijing Glass Factory.

Only then did the officials realize that the Emperor had possession of the recipe for making glass.
