Chapter 168: Ouyang Kaishan's sincerity
Today's dinner, under Zhong Yue's small abacus, has become a win-win situation. Several calligraphers in Shanghai left happily with ink ingots in their hands, and Zhong Yue got his wish to get the inscriptions and ink names of these famous calligraphers.
With this, Zhong Yue believed that his ink ingot would soon be able to establish a market in Shanghai, which was much better than selling pirated discs all day long, peddling a little in the east and a little in the west.
"Mr. Ouyang, thank you so much today. ”
Ouyang Kaishan looked at Zhong Yue appreciatively, "No, it's me who wants to thank you." ”
"Huh?" Zhong Yue put away the works of several calligraphy masters and looked at Ouyang Kaishan with some puzzlement.
"In the past, these old guys reluctantly dealt with me for the sake of my wife's face, and this time I invited them over to be in the auction in a few days, to palm my eyes, but tonight such an exchange, I think the relationship between these cultural people is also a lot deeper, and make friends with these cultured people, you know, money doesn't work. ”
Zhong Yue said: "But this is only true for some literate people. ”
"Haha, I, Ouyang Kaishan, think that I am quite accurate in seeing people. By the way, Amin, the tea is cold, go and exchange for two new cups. Zhong Yue, what you said before, there is ink square, and this ink-making technology, is it true?"
Zhong Yue's heart froze, "Is Mr. Ouyang interested in this ink square?"
"You and I are destined, this time I didn't need your imitation, if it was someone else, maybe I wouldn't have specially invited him to Shanghai, but I know that because of the original incident, how much pressure you put on Ouyang International, in that regard, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, if you compromise, I can only give up the cooperation with you agreed before, you understand, some business things, trade-offs are far more important than interests. ”
Zhong Yue understood what Ouyang Kaishan was referring to. In order to resist Zhang Shaolin's pressure, Zhong Yue not only returned the money, but also a series of subsequent targets were caused by this, he didn't say anything, but Ouyang Kaishan had his hands and eyes and could naturally understand, so even if Zhong Yue's imitation didn't come in handy this time, he also invited Zhong Yue to come to Shanghai, wanting to promote this good young man.
"Since you asked me if I dare to be interested in this ink party, I will tell you straight to the point, I am very interested, and I am also very interested in Huizhou's ink industry and pen making. ”
Zhong Yue smiled secretly, yes, this is very Ouyang Kaishan.
"Thank you for your sincerity, but I don't understand a little, since you are interested in Huizhou's ink industry and pen industry, why did you refuse to cooperate in the first place?"
"Zhong Yue, you have to understand one thing, the times have changed, if you still keep the traditional way, do you think these ancient methods can bring enough economic benefits? I see that the cultural industry, especially the traditional cultural industry, can become a benchmark for Ouyang International to enter the cultural industry, but in the case of quality assurance, the instability brought about by replacing manual production with industrial production must consume too much upfront investment.
I have done a survey with the scientific research team, and if you know how to make ink, you must understand that there is an essential difference between the ink ball tempered by hand and the ink ball crushed by the machine. ”
"That's right, the old ink factory in Z County has maintained this ancient method to this day. ”
Ouyang Kaishan leaned back in his chair, "But what about production efficiency, you should understand that as the efficiency of the factory cannot keep up, the workers who are familiar with the process will not be able to get the living guarantee, and they will lose labor, how long do you think such a factory can last?" My scientific research team has spent a lot of effort to set up, to complete the replication of a set of imitation artificial production line, the initial investment may be tens of millions, but such an artificial assembly line, is bound to not increase the local jobs in Z County, and may even crush these small and medium-sized workshops, do you think Ouyang International settled in Huizhou, is it a good thing?"
"Thank you for telling me this. ”
"Actually, people are already doing it. Deyi Pavilion in Jingbei and Cao Gongsu in Shanghai, in addition to chemical ink, are studying the application of imitation artificial technology in the ink-making and pen-making industries. ”
Zhong Yue asked: "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who use soft pens, Mr. Ouyang, is this kind of mass production necessary?"
"Zhong Yue, you are wrong. First, the potential market for the ink and pen industry is slowly recovering. Calligraphy, Chinese painting these cultural heritage, is being vigorously promoted, in the past, we pay attention to material life, now the material does not worry about eating and drinking, will naturally return to the pursuit of spiritual culture, this point, our ancestors left the quintessence, can not be thrown away, even if it can no longer be used as a universal way of writing, as an art, will also be vigorously revived, this market, Ouyang International has long wanted to contact, has been suffering from the ancient recipe and inheritors of the ink industry. ”
Ouyang Kaishan looked at Zhong Yue and said with a smile: "Sometimes, people really have to believe in fate, Zhong Yue, I think you are a blessed general sent to me by God." You've given me hope again. ”
Zhong Yue didn't lose his heart by Ouyang Kaishan's somewhat instigated words, "Mr. Ouyang, you mean you want to cooperate?"
Ouyang Kaishan said with a smile: "Otherwise, you don't have the funds or the team, do you want to use the ink treasures of these old guys to set up a stall on the streets of Shanghai, and then rely on pure handwork to sell ink ingots every day? I guess your ambition is not here, right?"
Ouyang Kaishan's words poked at Zhong Yue's soft underbelly. He really doesn't expect to sell ink ingots as a lifelong career, just as a seasoning agent in the pursuit of calligraphy and painting, make a little money, use money to support calligraphy and painting, and raise a little witch by the way......
"You can rest assured, in this ink industry, after removing the production cost and the profits generated, I can guarantee with my personality that we Ouyang International don't want a penny, all of them belong to you. You think about it. ”
Zhong Yue's pupils shrank, "All the profits belong to me?" Mr. Ouyang, what do you want?"
"One ticket. ”
"Huh?"
"Ouyang International's ticket to enter the cultural industry, this is something I want to borrow from you. ”
Holding tea, Ou Yangming, who was standing aside, was stunned.
Oh my God, what did he hear?
Was his ear malfunctioning, tinnitus, or auditory hallucinations?
Borrow?
He lived to the age of eighteen from the time he was born, when did the people of their Ouyang family say this borrowed word to outsiders?
Today he kind of opened his eyes.
"Mr. Ouyang, you are too polite. Cooperation, I promise you. This is the ancient recipe of 500 catties of oil, you can take it. ”
Since Ouyang Kaishan showed his sincerity, Zhong Yue was also straightforward.
If you don't contribute money or effort, as long as you come up with a prescription, it may be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of profits in the future, even if you are a fool, you will not be impressed, and Zhong Yue is not worried that Ouyang Kaishan will swallow this prescription alone, because tens of millions may be a lot of money for him, but for a large enterprise with a market value of tens of billions like Ouyang International, it can't be said that it is a small meaning, it is just a medium meaning......
It's just that invisible ticket that Ouyang Kaishan values.
