Eighty-first: Ariba Chamber of Commerce

This is a middle-aged man with a lovely smile and half-bald hair.

But in the depths of his eyes, which were always full of smiles, Gao Ge saw the sophistication and shrewdness that had been practiced for a long time.

"This is the host of the Ariba Chamber of Commerce in Pine Springs City, Mr. Luke. Donita introduced to Gao Ge.

"Welcome, Mr. Luke. Thank you for your willingness to visit a small place like ours. I've heard that Donita has invited six chambers of commerce to come to Weishan City to discuss cooperation, but only you are willing to come. Gao Ge left his desk and exchanged a salute with Luke.

"Lord Castle, although I am old, I still have curiosity. I came to Weishan City mainly because I was full of curiosity about you, and I wanted to see what kind of characters could create the miracle of annihilating 20,000 with 2,000. Luke laughed.

Gao Ge laughed and said, "Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, Mr. Luke." I'm just a very ordinary person. ”

"No!" Luke put away his smile and said, "Although I was just walking around the way into the city, what I saw was an unimaginable magical city. I had been to Weishan City two years ago, and compared to that time, Weishan City has undoubtedly been reborn. To make such a great change in Weishan City, I don't think you are an ordinary person. ”

"Your compliment is so exciting!" Gao Ge smiled and motioned for Luke to sit down at the long table with him.

"It's not a compliment!" Luke said seriously, "I'm looking forward to this trip to Weishan more and more. Perhaps, I can really get a lot out of it this time. ”

"You're right. Gao Ge affirmed, "You'll soon be glad you're curious, Mr. Luke." I'll show you something. ”

Luke smiled and nodded lightly in anticipation.

On the long table, there are more than a dozen finely carved Nanmu boxes, which are packaging that can only be used to store precious things.

Weishan City, located on the edge of the Southern Barbarian Forest, produces some magic cores, spars or rare treasures of heaven and earth, and this is probably these things, Luke thought.

When the first box was opened, the habitual, courteous smile on Luke's face froze.

When the second box was opened, a perfunctory smile had disappeared from his face.

When the third box opened, his eyes were already filled with surprise and eagerness.

When he saw the contents of the fourth box, he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and leaned in.

The snow-white plate, the pink and blue shallow basin, the white tire and blue vase, and the most amazing thing is that the gray-green hand bowl is actually covered with fine cracks like nature, full of an indescribable sense of mystery.

Without exception, the surface of these things has a delicate and moisturizing luster, which makes people feel a desire to touch and play.

"Can I touch it?" Luke asked, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, looking up.

"Please. Gao Ge chuckled.

It's slightly cool to the touch, not as cold as steel, it's warm and slightly cool, smooth and delicate to the touch, and if you close your eyes, you will feel like you're touching glass.

What is certain is that I have never seen anything like this before.

As a well-informed businessman who had specialized in trade for more than thirty years, Luke had the confidence that anything he had not seen was something that had not been seen in this world.

"What is this?" Luke's voice was a little jerky.

"It's porcelain, Mr. Luke. Gao Ge glanced at the expression on Luke's face, and said with a calm smile: "It can be obtained by fusing more than a dozen precious things and shaping them, and then refining them repeatedly with extremely rare earth fire." ”

"You mean, this kind of ...... Porcelain, can it be produced?" Luke heard the key in Gao Ge's words.

"Yes, I also happened to see the recipe for refining porcelain from an extremely precious ancient magic manual, and it took a lot of trial and error to succeed. According to this magic manual, porcelain was a precious thing in ancient times, and only those of high status could possess it. It can channel the mind and bring divine blessings to the user. Gao Ge talked eloquently.

"This, I'm afraid that's the reason why the City Lord invited the major chambers of commerce to come to Weishan City in Songquan City. The familiar smile on Luke's face returned.

"That's true, I want to find a few powerful chambers of commerce to help me sell porcelain. You've seen the real thing, and its market potential, I don't think I need to stress it too much. Gao Ge looked at Luke Road.

"Indeed, it will become the new favorite of the aristocracy. The smile on Luke's face deepened, "But why don't you explain that there is such a thing when you solicit the Chamber of Commerce?" I'm sure I'm not the only curious person if you could elaborate. ”

"I believe in fate, Mr. Luke. Gao Ge raised his voice, "Porcelain is not a vulgar thing, I have worked hard to make it reappear in the world, it is related to me, and the collaborator I hope to find is also a destined person, even if there is only one." ”

"Are you saying that you can give its proxy to just one chamber of commerce?" said Luke's face with a solemn expression, his eyes shining.

"Yes. I can only find one as the general agent, he is fully responsible for the sale of porcelain, as you said, porcelain should become the new fashion of the aristocracy, should take the high-end route, if there are too many chambers of commerce acting for it, it will inevitably fight a price war, which will undoubtedly damage its preciousness. Gao Ge leaned back in his chair and looked at the guest in front of him with a smile.

The habitual smile on Luke's face had completely subsided, and his expression was surprisingly serious, because he sensed his opportunity.

If you can talk about this exclusive agency called porcelain, your position in the Chamber of Commerce that has not been touched for nearly ten years should also be moved.

"Lord Castle, please tell me what other conditions you have. Luke said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Luke is a smart man. Gao Ge sat up straight and looked at each other with a fierce gaze, "I know that Aliba, as one of the top ten merchants in the Central Plains, has tentacles deep into all corners of Kyushu, and in addition to selling goods, you also collect all kinds of information. ”

"That's true. Luke nodded, "As a chamber of commerce, if the world is not working and the information is unknown, there is no way to do business." So, we have a special agency to collect and process all kinds of intelligence. ”

"I need to share this with the Ariba Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, if I wish to gather information on a certain aspect, the intelligence department of your Aliba Chamber of Commerce should actively cooperate. Gao Ge threw out his request.

"What level of permission do you need?" Luke asked after a slight pause.

"General office level!" Gao Ge said resolutely.

"General office ......," Luke mused.

The general office is the highest representative of a chamber of commerce in a state, and it is already an absolute high-level in the chamber of commerce.

For the host of a county capital like Luke, there is also a level called superintendent at the top, and then there is the general office responsible for the entire Zhangzhou.

"Are you having any difficulties?" asked Gao Ge.

"No difficulty!" Luke gritted his teeth and stood up, "Since the City Lord trusts me so much and treats me with sincerity, I will definitely make a statement to the Elders of the Chamber of Commerce and promise to meet your request." ”

"Very good!" Gao Ge patted the arm of the chair with satisfaction and stood up, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

"One more thing," Luke suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What is the price you pay us for a piece of porcelain?"

Gao Ge smiled and held out a finger.

"One ...... A silver eagle?" Luke hesitated.

Gao Ge shook his head.

"A golden eagle!" Luke exclaimed.

"No! no!" Gao Ge shook his finger and said word by word: "One piece of porcelain, ten golden eagles!"

......

After sending off Luke, who was confused, excited, and expectant, Gao Ge was in a good mood, as a monopolist of porcelain technology, he had full pricing power over porcelain.

Aristocrats are never afraid of the most expensive, only the rarest, otherwise how can they be called "noble" clans.

You can rest assured and boldly set your own sales price at this price, or you can use a small amount of auction to raise the price of porcelain first, and then slowly let it enter the market when it is hard to find, Gao Ge gave Luke this advice.

Porcelain will not only bring wealth to Weishan City, but will also bring a steady stream of information, which is sometimes more valuable than the Golden Eagle.

At this time, Gao Ge realized that before he knew it, it was dark, and as the dry season continued, the night was coming earlier and earlier.

Gao Ge suddenly seemed to remember something, and smiled happily.

It's Sunday, and Sunday night is the meeting time he made with those lovely banshees.

Between the official residence where Gao Ge worked and the tower where the banshees lived, was the back garden of the castle lord's mansion, and although it was autumn, the back garden was still lush and full of life.

Gao Ge walked away, only to feel that the dark fragrance hit people, such a late autumn season, it is the blooming period of autumn lilacs.

The flower shape is small, the color is delicate, the smell is fragrant, it opens at dusk and falls at dawn, and the autumn lilac, also known as the night incense, is a unique autumn flower in this world.

In the original world, it should be the season when osmanthus is fragrant and chrysanthemums are beautiful, Gao Ge stopped, closed his eyes, and breathed deeply.

Faintly, there seemed to be bursts of wonderful singing voices coming from the shade of flowers and trees with the fragrance of the flowers, waking up the song from reverie.

By the small lotus pond with red clothes and autumn fruits, Yinyue, dressed in pink and white dress, is sitting under the lilac tree.

In her hand, she holds a small instrument, a ring-shaped instrument made of bamboo and wood, with eight strings of different lengths in the middle, which looks like a simplified version of the harp.

Her ten fingers flicked on the round piano like a breeze, and a beautiful sound like a clear spring flowed from the strings.

"The pulse of the spring breeze blows endlessly, the night sinks like water, the moon is bright like a hook; lingering under the lilac tree for a long time, wanting to talk and resting, the hairpin flowers are full of ......" The beautiful woman's singing voice is amazingly wonderful, graceful like the breeze in the forest, when it is clear, it is like a lark chirping on the branches, it is so beautiful that people are intoxicated, and the sky is in general.

Pointing to the strings, lips spit out delicate voices, and the silver moon singing exudes a different kind of look, a look full of femininity.

The bright moon reflects the beauty, the lotus pond contains dark fragrance, and the suqin accompanies the light song...... There is so much beauty, how it seems to be in the world!

Gao Ge was stupid for a while.
