Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Of course, Li Shimin and others must not be so stingy. However, no matter what, when Li Xin does things, he always has to be more thoughtful. Moreover, he could also imagine that Cui Yingying's finished version of luxury mahjong must consider the cost issue, and it is impossible to invest regardless of cost like the first few sets.

After all, there are always risks in doing business, and you must have the awareness of controlling risks.

Li Xinxin picked up a mahjong, looked at it, weighed it again, and nodded with satisfaction.

Of course, he from later generations will not be unfamiliar with those slogans protecting wild animals. What "no business, no killing" or something like that. He also knows about protecting wild animals. However, this is the Tang Dynasty after all. Although elephants are indeed rare in the land of China, elephants should not be regarded as rare wild animals in the world. Get some ivory It's not too much to do mahjong.

Besides, besides ivory, Li Xin really couldn't think of a more suitable material.

Just imagine, the materials used to make luxury mahjong must first be expensive enough, right? This eliminates the cheap wood used to make ordinary mahjong. As for the precious wood. I always feel that it is not so desirable to let people see its preciousness at a glance. In human terms, you are all luxurious mahjong, can you be more luxurious? How can this satisfy the mentality of those rich people who buy luxury mahjong and want to pretend to be strong?

Therefore, wooden mahjong is basically not considered. Then there are only precious metals, jade and other materials that may still be possible. However, Li Xin finally ruled out such materials. The reason is simple: too heavy.

Although mahjong doesn't need to consider portability, it can't be so heavy that you can cripple a person by hitting the back of your foot, right? Gold, silver, jade, etc., the density is too high, if someone gets on top while playing mahjong, grab a card and throw it at the face of the opposite player, the lethality will be great. You have to open the ladle. Then Li Xin has to bear some of the guilt of poor design, right?

Therefore, after discussing with Cui Yingying, Li Xin and Cui Yingying decided to use light, strong and precious ivory as the main material, and then add the process of inlaying precious metals to make a safe and noble luxury version of mahjong. Now that the real samples are made, Li Xin is quite satisfied with his judgment at that time.

Therefore, Li Xin also sent someone to Cui Yingying's residence to reply, saying that the new stage of luxury mahjong can be made according to this set of samples, and a hundred sets of it will be made first.

By the way, after wooden mahjong was launched not long ago, rough imitations soon appeared on the market. The level is probably at the level of the simple mahjong with "bald chicken" and "round sesame cake" that Li Xin made at the beginning.

If it's just poor craftsmanship, it's fine. At least it is cheap and can meet the cultural and entertainment needs of the slightly poorer people. However, these unscrupulous pirates not only make a rough production, but also mess up the mahjong assembly.

Out of curiosity, Li Xin asked people in his family to sell the pirated mahjong sold by vendors in Chang'an. There were actually eight white boards in a pair of mahjong. , Do you write four more "dong" on the whiteboard?
