Chapter 165: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice
Bai Susu listed three new products one after another, all of which were innovative, which had impressed the businessmen present.
Even if the Bai family's porcelain business is affected, but with these new products alone, it can be successfully transformed, and with the assistance of porcelain, it will not make the family fall down.
Even some families need to buy a certain amount of white porcelain from the Bai family in order to get the right to operate soap, toilet water, and spirits, and the Bai family's binding requirements are not too much, so the impact of the Bai family's porcelain business is not as big as imagined, and it is not easy for the Ding family to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The Bai family has a heart, if these things become tribute, I believe that the ladies of the palace, as well as the ladies of the powerful family, will be happy." In addition, the royal sake is also good, the purity is increased, and for the drinker, it will be very addictive. ”
With such an evaluation and praise, the meaning of the words is already protecting the Bai family, and after everyone heard this, their minds about the Bai family are also changing.
At this time, Ding Yuexi couldn't sit still, stood up and said in a weird manner: "Bai Susu, your Bai family started by firing porcelain, do you want to give up the porcelain industry and specialize in the production of these small things in the future?" If this is the case, then the Bai family porcelain kiln should be closed as soon as possible, and it will be taken over by my Ding family in the future. ”
This is Ding Yuexi's purpose, as long as the Bai family no longer engages in porcelain, then after the Ding family's celadon and white porcelain business is monopolized, the family will be dominant, even if the Bai family does not fall, there will be no conflict with the Ding family.
Bai Susu smiled lightly and said, "Who said that the Bai family should give up the porcelain business?" ”
Ding Yuexi snorted coldly: "Then after talking for a long time, you didn't mention porcelain, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?" ”
Bai Susu looked at the eyes for a week, with a confident look at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and shot back: "The Bai family has been trying to research a new type of porcelain for a long time, but there has been no breakthrough. ”
"Qingbai porcelain?" After Ding Yuexi heard this, he was puzzled and surprised.
The white porcelain cup he was holding just now happened to be in his hand, and after drinking the wine, he felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart, and he didn't care about the jade-colored wine glass in the hands of others.
The rest of the people present also heard it, and they were at a loss: What is Qingbai porcelain?
"Is it this glazed porcelain?" Someone picked up the jade-colored wine glass in his hand and asked in surprise.
In the hands of the rest of the people, there were also such light green wine glasses the color of pale jade, showing shocked expressions.
The wine glass in Gao Yuan's hand was precisely the green and white glazed porcelain, and he picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Bai Susu, is this the green and white porcelain, this glaze is like green and white jade." ”
Bai Susu smiled slightly, and followed Gao Yuan's words and said: "Gao Daren's eyes are like torches, and the characteristics of Qingbai porcelain are in the middle of a word, and the reason why it is called Qingbai porcelain is because it is very close to the color of Qingbai jade. In the glaze of porcelain, it is also between celadon and white porcelain, and there is white in green, and there is green in white. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a closer look at the latest fired Qingbai porcelain of our Bai family. ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Susu instructed the servants to go outside and bring in the samples of Qingbai porcelain, which are some handicrafts with beautiful shapes, including vases, wine dendrobiums, trays, pots, dishes, etc., the Qingbai glaze is exquisite, the imitation jade is realistic, and it has the characteristics of Qingbai and elegant, clear and beautiful, and transparent light and shadow.
Everyone looked at the blue and white porcelain displayed in front of them, just like a piece of jade handicrafts, very shocked.
From a distance, it is difficult to distinguish from jade, and it is only up close that the difference between porcelain and jade can be discovered.
This is simply a pseudo-jade!
Compared with the handicrafts of celadon and white porcelain, this blue and white porcelain glaze color is obviously better and more appreciated, and the handicrafts are worth collecting and displaying at home.
Bai Susu's voice, at this time, seemed to carry a magical power, said: "The glaze color of blue and white porcelain is close to the color of jade, the so-called humble gentleman, warm as jade, whether it is the royal family, or dignitaries, scholars, squires and wealthy families love the color of jade and jasper, and have the style of a gentleman!" This kind of green and white porcelain is just right for these classes. ”
"My Bai family has been firing a large number of green and white porcelain, in addition to the daily necessities of dishes and pots, there are many handicrafts, such as blue and white porcelain zodiac figurines, vases, incense burners, etc., just like jade, the price is much cheaper than real jade, so this is the key direction of the Bai family's next porcelain burning!"
"This ...... How is this possible? Ding Yuexi was taken aback, his face changed in shock, as soon as the blue and white porcelain came out, both the celadon and the white porcelain would be greatly impacted.
If the price is comparable, both the nobles and the poor will definitely prefer to use this more beautiful glaze jade, rather than cyan and white.
I am afraid that in the future, Qingbai porcelain will be able to occupy at least half of the porcelain market, and the combined sales of celadon and white porcelain can barely compete, and this is still under the premise of price reduction.
But once the Bai family wants to bundle white porcelain and green and white porcelain, then the foreign trade families and dignitaries will definitely continue to buy white porcelain from the Bai family, so the Ding family's white porcelain will have no sales, and the celadon will only have a quarter of the share.
As big as hope, as big as disappointment, Ding Yuexi was proud of the spring breeze one moment, and fell to the bottom the next moment.
The Ding family began to lay out three years ago, constantly corrupting a craftsman of the Bai family, bribing him to apostatize, stealing the secret recipe of white porcelain, and persuading the second room of the Bai family to poison, and finally gained the upper hand, and was about to completely disintegrate the Bai family, but I didn't expect that the Bai family had deeper hole cards.
Gao Yuan was a scholar of the imperial examination, full of poetry and books, and concurrently served as a member of the Ministry of Finance in the imperial court, talking and laughing on weekdays, there is no white ding, and he is also quite fond of the color of jade, after listening to Bai Susu's words, he sighed sincerely: "As soon as the blue and white porcelain comes out, the world's readers will love this glaze." ”
Gonggong Wei smiled and narrowed his eyes and said: "This time it is not in vain, there are so many fresh items in Runzhou, after going back, the official family will definitely be happy." ”
"Especially the Bai family, these soap spirits, green and white porcelain, can all be reported to the imperial court as tribute! The Bai family can set the price, as well as the quantity supplied. "The eunuch of the palace province, Gonggong Cao, also spoke.
These Jinling tribute envoys all said this, and others also echoed it, changed their comments, and began to praise the novelty and uniqueness of these items of the Bai family, which benefited the people.
Peng Zeliang smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, glanced at Yin Tingshi, and saw that his face was cold, his expression was very unhappy, but he looked helpless, and he smiled secretly in his heart. After all, the envoys and the eunuchs in the palace are so conclusive, and there is no room for him to interject and refute this place.
The most depressed person is Ding Yuexi, stealing chickens and rice, almost spurting out a mouthful of old blood, sullen at the moment, with a sad face.
The Murong family, the Yan family, the Fan family and other families are all thinking about how to alienate the Ding family and renew their relationship with the Bai family.
