Chapter 540: If You Have a Heart, Drink This Cup
"Divide, divert?" The two officials of Sun Zhifu and Ji Zhixian are okay, but Cheng Qian, the head of the porcelain industry, was hit by five thunders.
Strung together, everything strung up!
Why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly come to Jingdezhen with those Jiangnan maritime merchants?
Why did you attack yourself as soon as you came, and put a big smuggling hat on yourself and the porcelain industry guild?
Why did he propose to set up a porcelain industry association yesterday and set up so many branches?
Why do you want to take the floating population in Jingdezhen today and question Jizhi County?
Everything is foreshadowing, the purpose is to poach a part of Jingdezhen's industry!
It's a pity that it's too late to wake up, and now His Highness has fallen step by step, completely forcing himself into a corner, leaving him with no choice but to agree......
~~
Actually, Cheng Qian forcibly added drama to himself. Zhu Zhen wants to mess with him, he doesn't even have to speak, one look is enough.
It was only in consideration of the particularity and complexity of Jingdezhen's porcelain industry that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had the patience to do enough foreplay to make Cheng Qian more acceptable.
The relationship between the two sides should be lubricated, so that the follow-up cooperation can be good, and there will be a lot of chaos because of the disharmony between the two sides.
Zhu Zhen has learned that the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen is a very close group. They jointly kept industry secrets and consciously excluded foreigners to maintain the monopoly of Jingdezhen porcelain.
And through the visit in the past few days, he also understood how Jingdezhen kept it secret. In addition to a variety of secret formulas, the more important thing is the extremely detailed division of labor.
A worker goes in to work for several years, and they are repeating the same process. Practice makes perfect, but I also have no understanding of other processes.
Therefore, it is almost useless to simply dig people, and it is difficult to dig up more than 100 workers. Even if you dig it all in, you can't organize production, let alone select ingredients, which are the secret recipes that only these owners have mastered.
In addition, there is a very real problem, even if the human problem is solved, will all the raw materials have to be transported back to Suzhou from Jiangxi? Again, we have to try to find alternatives locally.
This requires the subjective initiative of everyone up and down, and even the collective efforts of the entire industry. It is possible to successfully replicate Jingdezhen in Jiangnan.
Therefore, he didn't want to spoil the relationship with Cheng Qian's gang.
To put it simply, it is not only to rob you, but also to ask you to cooperate happily.
But for Cheng Qian, it's easy to be robbed, but it's really hard to be happy.
That's cultivating a competitor yourself! Moreover, the other party has its back to the south of the Yangtze River, has strong financial resources, convenient transportation, and all conditions are incomparable to Jingdezhen.
Once they really get it, they will definitely become Jingdezhen's strongest competitors, and it is even possible to take Jingdezhen down directly.
When he thought that he was going to dig his own grave with his own hands, it was too late for Cheng Qian to cry, so why did he laugh? Laugh a fart!
"Hey, don't do that." His Royal Highness the King of Chu rarely understood his difficulties, poured a glass of wine for Cheng Qian with his own hands, and brought it to him: "Come, drink this cup, and listen to this king and Ling talk slowly." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness......" Cheng Qian trembled and took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it. I felt that this was the most bitter glass of wine I drank in my life, and my whole face was wrinkled into chrysanthemums.
"Cheng Qian, don't cry with a sad face, His Royal Highness poured you wine, what a face!" Sun Zhifu looked at the bear in front of Cheng, and he couldn't wait to eat him alive, so as not to bring trouble to himself.
"Yes, Cheng Qian, laugh one." Ji Zhixian also had the same thoughts, for fear that this guy would annoy the smiling tiger of the sixth child.
"Hey......" Cheng Qian struggled to squeeze out a smile, which was more ugly than crying.
"Okay, okay," Zhu Zhen looked unbearable, waved his hand and said, "Don't stand and talk without back pain, you both shut up." It is normal for Lao Cheng to have emotions. The twisted melon is not sweet, and this king has to eliminate his worries before he can untie the knot. ”
"Hey." Both officials obediently shut up.
"This king knows what you're worried about." He walked to Cheng Qian's side, pressed his shoulder and said, "It's nothing more than these people who have been separated, will they turn around and grab business with themselves?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Jiangnan is rich and rich, and he is the son of His Royal Highness, let them do it, how can we still have a job? Cheng Qian nodded and said with tears in his eyes:
"The villain is the head of the industry, and he can't help but consider more than 500 peers in Jingdezhen."
"Yes, this king understands." Zhu Zhen nodded, and said with a strong hand:
Therefore, this king wants to engage in this porcelain industry association to curb vicious competition and promote the healthy development of the national porcelain industry. And this king has decided, you will be the first head of the council, okay? ”
"Cheng Huishou, this is a big face." Eunuch Zhou said sourly: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness told our family that in the future, all export porcelain must be certified by the Porcelain Industry Association, and those who have not been certified are not allowed to be exported."
"And what price is set for each porcelain export, and how much each branch shares, are all decided by the general meeting. If you become the president, the kilns of the whole country will be opened or destroyed, and you will say a word, so what is there to be afraid of? ”
"That's what I said...... Cheng Qian was really moved, but he was embarrassed to agree, so he had to be reserved first.
Sun Zhifu and Ji Zhixian on the side saw that he really took the bait, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the businessman just looked at the front of him. What about you being the head of this meeting? With His Royal Highness here, can you still turn the sky upside down? If His Highness is unhappy in the future, it is not his business to replace you?
But after thinking about it, what kind of identity His Highness is, how can he play with him with these careful thoughts, as long as Cheng Qian doesn't go too far, it is estimated that His Highness will still protect him. After all, he is the first head of the council launched by His Highness.
Thinking about it this way, the two officials were quite envious of Cheng Qian. His Royal Highness really looks at him and Jingdezhen porcelain industry differently......
Compared with those who are officials, it is more than ten times better.
Of course, isn't this a tight spell?
After all, His Royal Highness asked him to be the head of this guild on the condition that he help Suzhou establish a porcelain industry. If he doesn't work hard, not only will this president not want to be the president, but they will have no share in the future.
"Haha, Lao Cheng, why are you still twisting?" Governor Sun joked about Cheng Qiandao.
"Cheng Hui's face is thin-skinned and normal." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled and poured him another glass of wine, and said, "If you have a heart, you will drink this cup, how about it?" ”
"Ah, yes." Cheng Qian picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Hahaha!" The crowd applauded.
"This glass of wine, it's delicious, isn't it?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.
"Mmmm, it's delicious." Cheng Qian smiled embarrassedly. Then he quickly got up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Highness is so generous and loving, can the villain still not know how to lift?" In the future, I will take the head of His Royal Highness's horse and go to the soup and fire, and I will not hesitate. ”
"Haha, okay." Zhu Zhen laughed happily: "In the future, the porcelain industry of the Ming Dynasty will be entrusted to Cheng Huishou!" ”
"Yes." Cheng Qian hurriedly replied loudly.
Everyone also congratulated His Highness on accepting another tiger general.
