Chapter 96 The Pearl in Porcelain
Zhaojiayao.
Li Fei personally designed and customized a batch of blue and white porcelain, preparing to send it to the palace for his godmother Yang Guifei.
Although blue and white porcelain has the reputation of being a pearl among porcelain, it has just been made now and is just a new product. Those dignitaries, nobles, gentry and wealthy people are not so quickly accepted. If you want blue and white porcelain to truly achieve status and reputation, you may not be able to do it every three or two years.
Therefore, Li Fei was preparing to advertise under the name of the palace to determine the status of blue and white porcelain in the porcelain industry as soon as it was launched.
No matter who sends things to the palace to the emperor and the imperial concubine, there are very few people who suffer losses, especially those who are related to the imperial concubine's godson.
Several trucks of exquisite blue and white porcelain were pulled into the palace, and first changed most of the porcelain in Yang Guifei's palace. Looking at the exquisite blue and white porcelain, Yang Guifei couldn't stop smiling, praising Li Fei for being filial.
The pearls in porcelain are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them, especially after seeing monochrome porcelain, the first time I saw blue and white porcelain, the vision was wonderful.
Concubine Yang was happy, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was naturally happy. He smiled and asked Li Fei what reward he wanted.
"I'm sure Your Majesty can write inscriptions for blue and white porcelain!" This is Li Fei's ultimate goal.
"Okay, hahahaha!" Of course, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would not refuse such a small matter. In fact, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang likes inscriptions very much. Every emperor who thinks he is a saint of a generation likes inscriptions.
For example, Qianlong, the most powerful one, was cursed at him in later generations, saying that he had ruined good ancient calligraphy and paintings.
However, it was only in later generations. If Qianlong was still alive, the words he wrote would only increase their value and were so noble that they could take them home for their offerings. The same is true for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
"I will also mention a few words." Not only did Emperor Xuanzong of Tang write a line of words for blue and white porcelain, but Yang Guifei was happy, but also wrote a line of words for blue and white porcelain.
Li Fei was very happy. Even if Yang Guifei didn't take the initiative to write the inscription, he would coax Yang Guifei to write the inscription together. Now, with these two lines of words written by these two super big guys, the status of the pearl in blue and white porcelain was instantly established. As soon as this title came out, Chang'an City, the dignitaries and nobles of various prefectures, the rich people of the countryside, and the like, and they would not even pursue the blue and white porcelain.
Of course the emperor was not so stingy. Not only did he write the words, he also gave Li Fei five hundred taels of gold.
Li Fei brought the calligraphy written by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei and 500 taels of gold back home. The Zhao family and the Zhang family were waiting in the county palace.
"Mr. Duke, what's going on?"
"I will live up to my mission!" Li Fei smiled and took out the words.
The Zhao family and the Zhang family were both excited. With this calligraphy, the blue and white porcelain had already established a great position in the porcelain industry before it was actually launched.
On that day, the story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei inscribed inscriptions for blue and white porcelain spread throughout Chang'an City, calling blue and white porcelain the "Pearl of Porcelain". Although the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City had never seen blue and white porcelain, since the emperor and nobles wrote inscriptions at the same time, the status of blue and white porcelain was undoubtedly unquestionable. The first idea of those high-ranking officials who were not short of money was to get a piece of blue and white porcelain back and take a look.
Live up to the expectations of those high-ranking officials, nobles and rich people, two days later, through the commercial network of the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce, blue and white porcelain first started to be sold in Chang'an City.
As soon as the news came out, the porcelain shop of the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce was immediately filled with customers, all of whom were high-ranking officials, rich people, etc.
The exquisite blue and white porcelain directly blinded the eyes of those nobles. Even if the price of blue and white porcelain is very high, almost ten times that of ordinary porcelain, the business is extremely booming. In just one hour, the first batch of blue and white porcelains on the market were sold out.
The profit is amazing, the cost is no higher than that of ordinary porcelain, but the price is ten times higher!
The popularity of Chang'an City first led to the popularity of prefectures and counties around Chang'an City. Since Chang'an City was first supplied, only a very small part of it flowed out of Chang'an City, and the price was much more expensive than Chang'an City.
Zhaojiayao and Zhangjiayao made a lot of money, and Xiao Ruoshui’s Qiqing Chamber of Commerce also made a lot of money.
After all, it was a whole commercial operation agency that was specially hyped up in some state capitals, and the price was converted.
Of course, the most profitable thing is Li Fei. Zhaojiayao has his name directly, which has a bonus of 60%; Zhangjiayao also has a bonus of 50%; Qiqing Chamber of Commerce porcelain has a bonus of 40%; Adding up, more than half of the profits of blue and white porcelain have entered Li Fei's pocket.
The output of blue and white porcelain has reached its maximum, but it is still in short supply day and night.
Not to mention other prefectures and counties, it took a long time to satisfy the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City. Li Fei said that he had less money every day. In the first few days, he earned more than 10,000 taels a day.
Because of blue and white porcelain, Zhaojia Kiln and Zhangjia Kiln, all major kilns from Chang'an City were originally ranked fifth and sixth, and suddenly became the first and second largest kilns in Chang'an City, famous in Chang'an City.
The Qiqing Chamber of Commerce's ranking among various chambers of commerce has also risen sharply, and it has reached the third place in a short time. It is so jealous that other chambers of commerce jointly suppress the Qiqing Chamber of commerce. However, the power of monopoly is huge. Only Qiqing Chamber of commerce can obtain blue and white porcelain. With the blue and white porcelain line, Qiqing Chamber of commerce has also built many lines of dignitaries and nobles, specifically supplying many things to their mansion. This is not something that other chambers of commerce can suppress, and the forces behind it are suppressed. Don't forget that there is also Li Fei behind the Qiqing Chamber of commerce, but Wang Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, cannot take advantage.
With this momentum, there is no doubt that Qiqing Chamber of Commerce will become the largest chamber of commerce in Chang'an City one day.
Of course, Li Fei not only satisfies the profits of blue and white porcelain, but Linglong porcelain, which is known as the treasure among porcelain, also has many common technologies with blue and white porcelain. Under his suggestion, Zhaojiayao and Zhangjiayao jointly developed Linglong porcelain. After someone imitated the blue and white porcelain in the future, they immediately pushed forward Linglong porcelain and continued to make another profit with monopoly.
First, it was blue and white porcelain, and then it was Linglong porcelain. The Zhangjiayao father and son were almost killed by these two big pies. They knew what the meaning behind this was, in addition to profit, they also had a status in the porcelain world.
In Zhangjiayao's eyes, Zhaojiayao, whose name is directly hung with Li Fei's name, is Li Fei's "own son". When facing Zhaojiayao, Zhangjiayao is inevitably much lower.
They felt very distressed that they used 50% of their dividends to fight against Li Fei in order to get rid of Zhou Jiayao's suppression and entanglement, but their dividends were simply insignificant compared to the current popular blue and white porcelain and Linglong porcelain.
In order to avoid being abandoned by Li Fei in the future, Zhangjiayao and his son took the initiative to add another layer of dividends to Li Fei. Like Zhaojiayao, they will give Li Fei 60% of the dividends each year after deducting all costs.
No matter who comes first or later in the two big kilns, many things must be equal, such as giving!
Li Fei was not polite, and accepted it with a smile.
If you give this bonus, Zhangjiayao will feel at ease, and Zhaojiayao will feel at ease. The two big kilns can cooperate more closely. After a few months, the two big kilns simply connected their in-laws and married each other's beautiful daughters, and they were as close as a family.
