Chapter 659: Commodities

East Factory!

"It's over."

Liu Shouyou really breathed a sigh of relief, and shook his head again: "I really didn't expect things to develop to this point, if you want to take another step, it will be an abyss!" ”

During this period, their factory guards were really under great pressure, on the one hand, the emperor, and on the other hand, their relatives and magnates.

This has never happened before, that is, the emperor is against the entire foreign relatives and magnates.

They really don't want to offend anyone!

After a while, Liu Shouyou suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Whale, only to see that Zhang Whale was silent, and couldn't help but say, "Dugong, Dugong." ”

Zhang Whale glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "We can't let this end the matter. ”

Liu Shouyou's face tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Duke, this really can't be played anymore, otherwise, you will play with fire and burn yourself." ”

Zhang Whale smiled: "Don't be nervous, I mean, judging from the results, Your Majesty is not really going to implement a whip law, Your Majesty's purpose is still tariffs, so this must have something to do with Guo Dan." ”

Liu Shouyou frowned slightly, and said, "What does the governor mean, to direct everyone's anger to Guo Dan?" ”

"It's not just Guo Dan, but also the cabinet."

Zhang Whale said with a smile: "Although this matter has ended, I believe that many people are dissatisfied, we can't let them have any dissatisfaction with Your Majesty, we can only direct their resentment to the cabinet and Guo Dan." ”

......

At this time, Guo Dan had no time to care about these things, and he was now staying in the Kou family's small treasure house with Kou Zhuansha.

The Kou family used to specialize in appreciating treasures for people, and Kou Zhuan Sha was also a small collector, for example, Tang Bohu's paintings, she collected a lot, but today she didn't come to appreciate the paintings, and Guo Dan didn't have this hobby.

He came here to see the porcelain.

Guo Dan stared at a delicate teacup in his hand, it was really clean and elegant, and he didn't even dare to use force, for fear of pinching it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Is this really porcelain?" ”

Kou Liansha nodded and said: "White as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime, the only thing that can be worthy of this sentence is the porcelain of Jingdezhen." ”

"What a clever workmanship!"

Guo Danwu shook his head and sighed, and asked Kou Zhuansha again: "Can only Jingdezhen burn this kind of porcelain?" ”

"Hmm." Kou Zhuansha nodded and said, "Actually, for example, today's porcelain, nine times out of ten, is from Jingdezhen, some are as precious as this, and some are relatively ordinary." ”

Guo Dan asked, "Why is this happening?" ”

"There are many reasons, the soil and environment there are very suitable for firing porcelain, and the main reason is that their craftsmen have been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Guo Dan nodded, and said, "But now the porcelain of our Weihui Mansion has also begun to emerge. ”

Kou Zhuansha said with a smile: "One of the reasons why the porcelain of Weihui Mansion sells well is that Weihui Mansion has attracted a lot of porcelain craftsmen, and the main reason must be very clear to Fujun. ”

Guo Dan smiled.

The porcelain of Weihui Mansion sells well, and the main credit is the help of the five guns, which became popular with the Spring Palace porcelain, and later used the expression brought by Guo Dan on the porcelain, but whether it is quality or art, it cannot be compared with the porcelain of Jingdezhen, and it is a novelty.

Guo Dan said: "I just want to say that in fact, there are other places where you can also fire porcelain." ”

Kou Zhuansha nodded and said: "Of course, in the Song Dynasty, porcelain was full of flowers, but since the Song Dynasty, many porcelain kilns have disappeared, and now it can be said that the world's porcelain is out of Jingdezhen." ”

"I see."

Guo Dan stared at the porcelain cup in his hand again, as if he was thinking about something.

Kou Zhuan Sha said: "Husband, please rest assured, we have reached a cooperation contract with Jingdezhen, and their workshop will provide us with porcelain. ”

"But that's not enough."

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "It is difficult to meet the vast ocean when producing porcelain in one place, we still have to let a hundred flowers bloom, just one place, the output is too small, and the risk is too great, I don't want to put my eggs in one basket." ”

Kou Zhuisa was stunned for a moment and said, "The reason why this situation is now is due to many reasons, and it cannot be changed by the power of one person. ”

"Not necessarily."

Guo Dan said: "As long as we can weaken the advantages of Jingdezhen and give other places some space to survive, it can still make porcelain bloom again." ”

Kou Zhuansha was puzzled: "But how do we weaken Jingdezhen's advantage? ”

"Monopoly!"

Guo Dan said: "We want to monopolize this very precious porcelain produced in Jingdezhen.

First of all, to raise the price, I want to raise the price of their soil, from the guidance of Jingdezhen's porcelain kiln to specialize in this very expensive porcelain, then this will lead to the ordinary porcelain produced in Jingdezhen is difficult to meet the needs of the market, and the capital will inevitably flow into other places;

Secondly, not every artisan in Jingdezhen can produce this kind of fine porcelain, so we can find a way to poach these artisans at a high price and produce porcelain elsewhere. ”

Kou Zhuansha said: "But Jingdezhen has many rules, and it is very rare to poach craftsmen from them. ”

Guo Dan said with a disdainful face: "As far as their meager wages are concerned, the so-called rules are, this person goes to a high place, and the water flows to a low place, this is the eternal truth." ”

"But it takes a lot of money?" Kou Zhuan Shadao.

Guo Dan said: "500,000 taels should be enough, and this is not a loss-making business, these precious porcelain are in our hands, plus those ordinary porcelain, we can earn more silver." ”

"Five... 500,000 taels? ”

Kou Liansha sweated slightly, it turned out that commodities were played like this, she suddenly remembered something, and said, "But we can't monopolize it at all, because there are many official kilns in Jingdezhen." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "For the sake of the silver, I believe Your Majesty will agree." ”

At this moment, a secretary said outside the door: "General manager, Abbot Huiming asks to see." ”

Guo Dan frowned, "Huh? Why did this old bald donkey suddenly come to me? ”

Old bald donkey? Kou Zhuansha immediately frowned and looked at Guo Dan.

"I'm sorry!"

Guo Dan said: "I used to see too much. Then he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Do you know why the abbot came?" ”

Kou Zhuisa shook her head.

Guo Dan said to the secretary outside the door: "Hurry up, please." ”

After a while, I saw an old monk walk in, and Guo Dan pretended to greet him, "Oops! The abbot is coming, and there is a disappointment in the next place, forgive sins, forgive sins! ”

"Amitabha."

Hui Ming performed the Buddha salute and said: "The old man took the liberty to visit, if there is any disturbance, I hope that Master Guo will bear with me." ”

"Don't bother! Don't disturb, abbot, please take a seat. ”

After Huiming sat down, Kou Zhuansha handed over another cup of tea, "Abbot, please drink tea." ”

"There is a giver! There is a giver! ”

Huiming was still a little scared.

After all, the Buddha would not give him silver, and Guo Dan is the largest financier of Jinggu Temple, and the silver taels donated have already broken the donation record.

Guo smiled and asked, "Abbot, everything is okay in the temple?" ”

"With the benefactor's concern, everything is fine in the temple."

Hui Ming said, paused slightly, and then said, "It's just a little better." ”

"Nice?"

"Yes."

Huiming nodded and said: "In the past, our temple was specially accepted by some homeless children and taught them to read and write, but now many people come to our temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, their purpose is to let their children come to the temple to study." These people are not homeless, and the old man is also in a dilemma for a while! ”

Kou Zhuansha said: "Abbot, we donate money to your temple in the hope of helping those homeless children, since they are not the children of the homeless, then we should not accept them, so that we can help more people in need." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "My wife is right, if there are still many hungry children today, we must spend the money on the blade." ”

"The two donors may have some misunderstandings, they don't want to study for free, they are willing to pay for tuition, the key is that some of them are the small shareholders of your tooth shop, and the old man has no choice, so he came to discuss with the donor."

"What?"

Guo Dan's eyes widened and said, "Our shareholders of the tooth shop, let his child go to your place to break..." ”

"Guiji."

Kou Liansha reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, your temple reading?"

Guo Dan smiled awkwardly.

Huiming didn't care, put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, monks don't speak." ”

Guo Dan thought about it, our tooth shop has not fallen to this point, the stock price has been rising, how can this be.

Kou Zhuisa asked, "Does the abbot know the reason?" ”

"Amitabha."

Hui Ming seemed a little embarrassed.

Guo Dan said: "What does the abbot say directly, you know that I am very easy-going." ”

Hui Ming said: "Lao Qu guesses that it may be because many children in our temple have gone to Qianzhuang and Xinxing to work recently, and many children have also been recruited by some wealthy businessmen, so they ....... ”

He wasn't too embarrassed to continue.

Guo Dan and Kou Zhuansha glanced at each other.

"It turns out that your abbot, you have done too well." Guo Dan said with a smile.

Hui Ming hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, this is all the credit of the donor, and the old man is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Guo nodded with a smile and said, "I'll take a look in two days, and we'll discuss it then." ”

.....

After sending Huiming away, Guo Dan couldn't help but smile and said: "The abbot is a sincere person, if it were me, I would probably secretly collect this tuition." ”

Kou Zhuansha smiled: "Of course the abbot is a good person, but the husband has not forgotten that anyone who wants to go to the temple to study must be reviewed by our people. ”

"I see."

Guo Dan laughed.

Kou Zhuisa asked again, "I wonder how my husband plans to deal with this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Of course I don't recruit it." After all, education is something that can't be achieved on your own, so I prefer that businessmen can see the business opportunities. But I really have to go and see how well it has developed, and I still don't believe it. ”
