Chapter 118: Differential Competition

Revitalization of Northern Porcelain

I have to say that I was really surprised to hear the high pragmatism of the cheap mother. He had known for a long time that Zhang had a talent for business, but he didn't know that she had such big ideals.

Jingdezhen has been the porcelain capital for a long time, and the decline of Junyao is even older, and it may be difficult to revive it, let alone form a north and south twin with Jingdezhen.

But then again, competition can bring faster progress and greater development, this theory of high pragmatism has always been agreed, if it can really revitalize the northern porcelain, not only has a certain stimulating effect on the northern economy, but also for Jingdezhen I am afraid it is also a good thing.

After the Chenghua Dynasty, the porcelain began to appear "shoddy" phenomenon, maybe there are slack factors after Jingdezhen can not find an opponent, so to create a northern opponent in Jingdezhen, it should be more beneficial than disadvantageous, as long as the publicity is in place, Jingdezhen will definitely be touched, especially if this opponent also appears in China's top porcelain Jun porcelain hometown.

"Well, my mother has such ambitions, and I can only fully support my son." Gao pragmatic first expressed his attitude, and then frowned slightly, "It's just that this matter is probably not easy, even if the three masters are skilled, but porcelain making is an industry after all, and it is a high-end industry with many complex processes, and it needs a lot of talents." In addition to highly skilled craftsmen, a large number of promising apprentices must be continuously trained to ensure longevity. In addition, there must be people who can think and try well, and constantly create new skills, not just rely on eating the old book, otherwise it is a boat against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

After hearing this, Zhang was overjoyed and praised, "Wu'er is really wise and natural, and you can see the most critical problem at a glance, but you don't have to worry about being pragmatic, these things have been properly considered for the past few years, we not only have to rely on the three masters to cultivate talents, but also continue to introduce talents from outside." ”

When she said this, she smiled slightly, "Pragmatic, you may not know, Jingdezhen is strong, but the competition there is also extremely fierce, some of them have skills, but they are not good at management, and some of them are not deep-rooted, and they are often excluded and can't do it." This can't stop our Gao family, we are neither short of money, nor lack of foundation, although Jingdezhen is far away in Jiangxi, but there is no one in Jiangxi to help us speak, so we can send people to stay in Jingdezhen to dig people"

Oh, you might as well simply say that our Gao family is rich and powerful, and you can not be afraid of retaliation by digging people in Jingdezhen.

Gao pragmatic pretended to be cautious, "That mother must confess, it is okay to dig people, but remember not to break the law, not to bully others." ”

"That's nature, and it won't make it difficult for you to be a mother." Seeing that his son agreed, Zhang responded happily, and then said, "Do you have anything else to consider?"

Gao pragmatic thought about it, and said to the three masters: "The three can know that the porcelain produced in Jingdezhen is the strongest, I mean the technique." ”

The three masters glanced at each other, and Master Xu, who was still from Jingdezhen, opened his mouth and said, "Young Master, the strongest thing in Jingdezhen is nothing more than blue and white." Although the blue and white is an ancient method, the porcelain kilns all over the country know this method, but only the blue and white of Jingdezhen can be called a master, and even bring forth the new, so far, it is far beyond the reach of other places. ”

"Oh" Gao pragmatic nodded slightly, and asked again, "Then, let's not waste time on blue and white porcelain, just give this piece to Jingdezhen, let's make colored porcelain, I just heard your introduction, Jun porcelain is also colored porcelain."

Obviously, Gao pragmatic confused the concept again, because multicolor does not mean that it is colored porcelain, and he also thought that it was divided by color.

The three masters hurriedly corrected his conceptual mistakes, and Gao Pragmatic also knew that he was wrong, and said with a smile: "Okay, I was mistaken, what I mean is actually to avoid the strongest spearhead in Jingdezhen, let's focus on other places, and strive to make special products comparable to Jingdezhen blue and white." ”

In fact, what Gao Pragmatic is really worried about is not that he can't get the level of Jingdezhen Qinghua, after all, with his Gao family's wealth, it is indeed convenient to dig people, spend more money and time, there will always be a chance. But he didn't want to do it, and his purpose was not to bring down Jingdezhen, unless he was crazy. He just followed Zhang's idea of "revitalizing northern porcelain" and thought of the differentiated exhibition, it doesn't matter if you Jingdezhen blue and white are unparalleled in the world, and my Jun porcelain kiln is also unparalleled in the world

So Gao Pragmatic gave this article, and then beat the three craftsmen down to rest, and then said to his mother Zhang, "Mother, my son has another idea to say." ”

Seeing that he deliberately knocked the three craftsmen away, Zhang knew that there must be something important, so he nodded and said, "Although this matter was proposed for my mother, in the final analysis, this is your industry, if you have any ideas, just say it, whether it is successful or not, let's discuss it carefully." ”

"In the past, the output of Jun kiln was too low, and it only made high-quality products and superb products, and almost most of them were royal tribute." Gao pragmatic shook his head and said, "This is not good, since we are not official kilns, we must not do this, we must be based on making money." ”

Zhang laughed, "Mother knows, you will not be ambiguous about making money." ”

I don't know if it's a performance or criticism, but Gao Pragmatic doesn't care, he also smiled and said, "So one thing is very important, that is, our Yuyao must also follow two principles." ”

"Which two principles?" asked Zhang.

"First, in the future, the porcelain produced by Yu kiln must have the four words of Jinghua Yu kiln, no matter where these four words are left in the utensils, there must be anyway, which is a symbol of status."

"This is known to my mother." Zhang nodded, "As you said before, it's called brand effect." ”

Hey, you are making rapid progress, so keeping pace with the times, but all industries under Gao Pragmatic's name are doing according to this idea, and the same is true for porcelain, which will not make Zhang's feel strange.

"Second, we have to divide the products of Jinghua Yu kiln into several grades, just like Jinghua soap."

Zhang nodded and asked, "Is it also like the Imperial Tribute, the National Scholar, and the Yashi?"

"Well, it could be a different name." Gao pragmatically pondered, "Otherwise, it will be divided into four grades, and the most high-grade batch is called Song, unless the emperor asks me to pay tribute or let the inner court find us to buy it, it will not be produced." ”

"Why is it called such a strange name" Zhang Shiqi said, "Is there anything particular?"

Gao pragmatic laughed: "My mother will know what it means after listening to the next few paragraphs." ”

"Oh," Zhang nodded, "Then you can tell me about it." ”

Gao pragmatic said, "It is divided into three grades, from high to low, they are Daya, Xiaoya, and National Style." ”

"Understood." Zhang nodded and said with a smile, "Wind, elegance, and song, this is the Book of Poetry, but you separate Daya and Xiaoya." ”

Gao pragmatic blinked, "The finer the grade, the better it is to make money, because those who have the strength to buy national style will try their best to buy Xiaoya, so as to show their wealth and status." In the same way, those who can buy Xiaoya will think about buying Daya."
