Just when Zhang Junping and Niu Wensheng were preparing to go to JDZ, Scarface had already arrived at JDZ several days in advance.

At this time, Scarface's identity is that of a truly patriotic Hong Kong businessman.

Investments in BJ, Nanjing, and Suzhou can be found with one search.

Naturally, he became a guest of JDZ City Hall.

"Mayor Tao, the main purpose of my coming here this time is to purchase a porcelain factory.

Introducing advanced technology to make our JDZ porcelain bigger and stronger.

If we at JDZ start making pottery in the Han Dynasty, we have a history of more than 1,800 years.

Starting from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, our JDZ began to set up imperial wares factories, which officially became famous at home and abroad."

Scarface sat in the mayor's office, chatting with the mayor, and knew the history of JDZ at his fingertips.

"Mr. Zhou is really knowledgeable. Our JDZ porcelain indeed has a history of thousands of years."

"What a pity! Although JDZ has a history of thousands of years, the porcelain is not valuable.

Although we export a large amount of porcelain to Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries every year.

However, our porcelain exports rely on high quality and low price.

It's actually not as valuable as small books, porcelain from Britain, Switzerland and other countries.

One plate from others can buy us a thousand plates." Scar face had a disappointed expression on his face, he shook his head and sighed.

"Isn't this possible?"

"The little book has been studying our porcelain. They have been importing porcelain clay from our country. This is not difficult to find out.

In addition, the bone china produced in the UK and Switzerland imitates our JDZ white porcelain firing process.

It's just that they added bone meal to it.

Mayor Tao can guess how much such a bone china plate would cost." Scarface took out a bone china plate from his bag and put it on the coffee table.

"This..." Mayor Tao shook his head.

I thought to myself, where can I guess this?

"This plate costs tens of dollars each." Scarface did not continue to be pretentious and directly told the price.

"A few dozen dollars?" Mayor Tao couldn't help but stood up.

The porcelain exported by their JDZ, not to mention a plate, even several plates add up to less than one dollar.

“It was precisely after seeing this situation that I wanted to acquire a porcelain factory, invest in expanding its scale, and engage in high-quality research and development.

Why do they steal from China and sell their fired porcelain for tens of dollars, while our porcelain only sells for tens of cents?

Can't we make such porcelain?" Scarface said impassionedly.

"Mr. Zhou is truly a patriotic overseas Chinese. We understand what you mean.

Regarding the investment in the porcelain factory, we will convene a standing committee meeting as soon as possible to come up with an opinion.

We will never keep Mr. Zhou waiting!"

Mayor Tao is not a young man. His blood boiled with excitement after just a few words, and he agreed to Scarface's request regardless.

They definitely need foreign capital, and they need it urgently, but they will not just agree to it without any principles.

"Okay! I'm just waiting for the good news from Mayor Tao!" Scarface shook hands with Mayor Tao, said goodbye and left the city hall.

He is now familiar with investment negotiations and has rich experience. Naturally, he knows that it is impossible to reach an investment agreement at the first meeting.

After leaving JDZ, Scarface and others wandered around JDZ, visited JDZ’s cultural relics and did some Taobao shopping.

JDZ is the capital of porcelain. Did you know that there is a piece of imperial kiln porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties hidden there?

Scarface has also been to Xiangjiang and is a person who has seen the world. He knows that antique porcelain sold for tens or hundreds of yuan in China will be sold in units of tens of thousands in Xiangjiang.

Scarface has been thinking in his mind, how can he make money from making antique porcelain by making Tenglao Shizi ginseng and other wild products?

If Zhang Junping hadn't strictly prohibited it, Scarface would have done this long ago.

Scarface did not dare to disobey Zhang Junping's order.

The longer the time spent in contact with Zhang Junping, the more Scarface became more in awe of Zhang Junping.

Scarface's visit to JDZ this time was also under Zhang Junping's order.

Zhang Junping thought about it for a long time and finally decided to take over the porcelain factory by himself.

He has complete blue and white porcelain firing techniques in his hands, and has all the firing techniques from Yuan blue and white to Yongzheng and Tsinghua.

In other words, as long as he is given the materials, he can perfectly bake Yuan blue and white, and even Yongzheng blue and white.

Even if Kang Fang was compared with him, he was still not as good as him.

After all, it is a genuine process, while Kang imitation is a process of restoration through studying ancient porcelain.

There are still some differences between the two.

Zhang Junping knows not only blue and white porcelain, but also pastel porcelain, enamel porcelain, and doucai porcelain.

These porcelain-making techniques are priceless treasures, and Zhang Junping really can't hand them over to the country selflessly.

The structure is still not enough.

We cannot achieve the communist master spirit of serving the public whole and not being self-interested.

The efficiency of JDZ City is still very high. Mayor Tao made a report to the secretary on this matter that day.

Relevant experts and master porcelain makers were summoned to the municipal committee for consultation.

After some consultation, I found out that what Scarface said was true.

Foreign bone china does originate from China and is expensive. It is a tableware exclusively used by European and American aristocrats.

Xiaobenzi does indeed import a large amount of kaolin (porcelain clay) from China every year. In the international market, Xiaobenzi's porcelain accounts for a large share.

"Boss, we can also make such porcelain, it's not that difficult.

The process difficulty is much simpler than that of 7501 porcelain.”

The speaker was an expert from the JDZ Ceramics Research Institute.

He once participated in the development of 7501 porcelain, which was the most proud thing in his life.

7501 porcelain is known as the swan song of official kilns and the last batch of official kilns in history.

One can imagine how precious it is.

"I think so. Our 7501 porcelain is much more beautiful than this bone china plate." The secretary also said with a smile.

7501 porcelain is also the thing he is most proud of in his life. He was the deputy commissioner of the JDZ prefectural committee that year.

Three or four years have passed and now he has become the secretary.

However, every time I think of him personally taking charge and leading the comrades of the institute to study 7501 porcelain, I get excited.

"Since our craftsmanship is no worse than this Laoshizi bone china, why is our price dozens of times worse than others?" the secretary asked the most critical question.

"..."

Everyone was silent. This question was too profound for them to answer and they did not dare to answer it.

"Boss, the porcelain we produce now is inferior to this piece of bone china in terms of shape, glaze color, and pattern." Finally, a porcelain master spoke the truth.

"Can't compare? Isn't our craftsmanship even better than this piece of bone china?

Why is the fired porcelain not as good as this bone china?" The secretary became angry and asked loudly while pinching his waist.

"Firing such porcelain would cause a lot of waste.

Because it takes ten kilns of porcelain to produce such fine porcelain.

Some people thought it was too wasteful, so they asked us to make ordinary porcelain."

The old master's words silenced the secretary.

The old man's face turned red from suppressing it, and he almost suffered internal injuries from suppressing it.

Because he is the one who said this.

"I think we should ask Mr. Zhou to come over for consultation!

After all, when it comes to doing business, you have to be a capitalist." Mayor Tao quickly changed the subject.

"Okay! I think Mayor Tao's suggestion is very good. What our organization values ​​is seeking truth from facts. It doesn't matter if we don't understand. We can ask professionals for advice.

There is no shame in asking others for advice!" The secretary made the final decision.

So, Scarface was invited to the office of a senior city official that day.

Scarface naturally won't tell the truth, but as an old BJ person, he can talk and talk, and when it comes to cheating, he is no worse than the Northeasterners.

After a long chat, the secretary and mayor seemed to understand something, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't understand anything.

However, they understood one thing: as long as the porcelain factory was handed over to Zhou Dashan, their annual foreign exchange income would be guaranteed to at least double.
