Chapter 202 [Generous Bai Zuo Geng]
Lantian County Government was decorated like a World Fair. The front yard and back garden of the county government, and the houses were filled with wooden frames. From the large ones to the bottles that were taller than a person to the smallest square entries for drinking, all of them were white and more exquisite and transparent. The Baijia porcelain kiln was still in the early stages of development, and there was no colored and glazed porcelain at present, let alone the fine quality of official kilns worth hundreds of millions of yuan in later generations. It was a "white porcelain" made of old earth jade and white stone. Even so, it was already completely crystallized porcelain, which was incomparable to the semi-crystalized Chu pottery known as "crystal pottery".
Pottery merchants from all over the world are big experts. The Bai family was surprised that they actually displayed porcelain in Lantian County. When they saw these little babies, they immediately got drunk. They didn’t even have the intention of calculating the compensation of the Bai family at this moment. They were only fortunate that they could participate in this "Porcelain Exhibition".
Mo Shi was dressed like a groom today, wearing a dark jade dress sewn by Mu Zhuobei for him, and a blue jade crown given to him by white roof above his head. If there wasn't a blindfold hanging on his face, it would look like a Caribbean pirate. Anyone would believe that he was a nobleman; today he was a nobleman in the crowd. I heard that he was the "master master" who made these porcelains. Many pottery merchants would squeeze in to chat with him. Fortunately, there was no big white rabbit holding a plate of good wine on the spot, otherwise he would have to be the first one to get drunk.
For these tentative questions from experts, Mo Shi can always cleverly avoid talking about them, firmly fixing the topic on these porcelains, giving them an accurate positioning in terms of color, hardness, use and collection value, but not the price. When someone tangled and asked, he said that he would just burn it. How much money can be sold is never something he needs to worry about. If it doesn't work, he will push it to the leftover dog.
Today, Gou Zuozi dresses more like Dog Brother. He is dressed in a deep clothes and has a high crown. No matter how you look at it, they are all real nobles. With Bai Dong, a man with a high title, he can barely be called a noble family. The Bai family wears such noble clothes, no uneasy Siqing official will come to make trouble. The face that caused trouble last time has been swollen...
"Dear merchants, I believe Master Mo has explained to you how the difference is 'porcelain' and crystal pottery. The batch of white porcelain fired by our Bai family for the first time is also called 'mutton fat white'. Whether it is color, hardness, or water density, it is far more than those Chudi crystal pottery worth hundreds of gold... By the way, you may not know what water density is. My Baizuo said that whenever pottery holds wine, it will be three out of ten or ten years after half a year. If the crystal pottery is used, the second is the second, but if it is my mutton fat white, not to mention half a year, it will not be even ten or twenty years. There will be no loss. It is because porcelain far exceeds the quality of pottery. It has such a magical effect."
This is actually the result of different molecular density. A completely crystallized porcelain is comparable to glass, so it will naturally not be lost when used to put wine. Gou Shengzi actually can't explain it very well, but it's just this general meaning that it has already made many merchants surprised, and their eyes shine. They usually distinguish the upper and lower grades of crystal pottery, but they actually use this method to measure it, but they have never seen a utensil that holds wine without losing it. How can they not be excited after hearing Gou Shengzi's words? Even if they are a little suspicious, after carefully looking at the "mutton fat white" of the Bai family, they are quickly conquered by its delicate body quality. This kind of porcelain is really comparable to mutton fat jade. The Bai family is not boasting.
"Mr. Bai, I don't know how many goods there are and how much price it is? My business Taozhang valued the most credibility. We have included all these goods. If the money is not enough, we should make up for them in half a year! The first pottery family in Zhao State is still worthy of the trust of the Bai family?"
"When did the people of Zhao become so rampant? The leaders of the Three Jins have always been Wei. Shang Qi. My Jiang family has not spoken yet. Who would give you the courage to speak like this!"
"Haha, you, Wei State is the leader of the Three Jin Dynasties, but you can't scare me, the hero of Yan State. Mr. Bai, Yan State style Taoxing is the most credible one. We need as much white porcelain as this kind of white porcelain, and Bai Zuo also saves a lot of trouble. Wouldn't that be good?"
They are all experts, so naturally they can see the huge business opportunities contained in this porcelain at a glance. Representatives of several pottery stores started to argue without waiting for Gou Shengzi to speak. Chu Tong looked at these pottery merchants who were red-faced and excited and nervous. He was really here right. If he could grab these porcelains, he would definitely be valued by the family after returning to Chu State, and even be elected as heirs. Bai Dong... This familiar name once made him extremely embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the same name also brought him great opportunities. I really want to meet this famous Bai Zi quickly.
"Haha, don't worry, please go to the county government hall first and sit down. My Baizuo made arrangements earlier, which will definitely satisfy everyone."
"Go to the county yamen hall? The Bai family is so big, this is a taboo thing."
It is fresh when you look at porcelain in the county government. Now you have to go to the main hall to negotiate business, which makes people confused. Although these pottery merchants are supported by aristocratic families, they do not mean that they have official titles. Many people are like Gansheng. Although they are born in aristocratic families, they are just businessmen themselves. Unless they make great contributions to the family and choose to be the heirs, the family will whitewash their status as merchants to seek official titles. Otherwise, they will have to go to the business hall for their whole life, but they have been able to sit down and talk casually for a few times.
After sitting down, a woman with fragrant clothes delivered new tea. This is Bai Dong's idea. In the future, there will be no beauty without beauties in business negotiations. Since ancient times, it seems that it is a good thing for Lantian to find a few to help the scene and make some private money for girls to go back. It seems to be a good thing. If you don't want to, you will be stupid. The famous scholars of this era are more popular and businessmen are more popular, but you can also get any occasion. It is okay to do anything in the Nu Lu Pavilion. It is not very suitable for formal occasions. This Bai Zuo is really a person who loves to set the precedent of the times? He is not afraid of being criticized by the love officials? However, it is really good for the beautiful women to serve tea. A few guys who stare at each other like a cockfighting are not relaxed. They all show the demeanor of men, and the atmosphere suddenly turns harmonious.
Gou Shengzi looked at the group of merchants who were lustful and soul-sending, and waved his hand gently. A beautiful woman immediately sent a beautiful booklet, which was bound by dozens of layers of silk paper, including illustrations and text descriptions of various porcelains, and one was a "suggested price" that each pottery merchant had never seen before. For example, the recommended price of the fine floor-standing double-ear bottle I had seen before was 120 gold, which was far lower than the psychological price of each pottery merchant.
"I have heard that Bai Zuo is more skillful and his methods are different from ordinary people. Today, it is even more amazing. But what does this 'suggested selling price' mean? Our merchants are looking for profit, so they will naturally set different prices based on the place and people. Zhao sold 300 gold, but when they arrived in Chu, it might be 500 gold. This move seemed meaningless."
Although the suggested selling price is fresh, it is easy for various potters to understand, but they are a little unacceptable. I feel that since the Bai family is a seller, they should not care about how they sell the porcelain after buying it. This is really too widespread.
"Old Qin promulgated the Trademark Law. As the initiator, my Bai family naturally has to comply with it. Since these porcelains are produced by the Bai family, if the prices are chaotic, it will only damage the reputation of the Bai family and the reputation of the Bai family's trading company. It is the one that my Bai Zuo family is the least willing to see..."
Gou Shengzi smiled and said, "The suggested selling price is a rule set by my Bai Zuo family. If you want to do business with the Bai family, you must abide by the recommended selling price set by the Bai family; of course, the Bai family is not unkind. You can increase or reduce the price by 10% when you sell it, and when the Bai family settles with you, they will only charge 50% of the suggested selling price, so whether you increase or reduce the price, there will be huge profits. The Bai family is very sincere and can accept this condition. If we cannot accept it, we can leave. The Bai family will bear the expenses you spent along the way."
"Checkout? Could it be that the Bai family is so generous that we can allow us to pick up the goods first and then settle the payment?"
"Of course, the Bai family not only allows everyone to get the goods first, but also allows everyone to transfer the goods. For example, the merchants in Zhao State bought many beanware, but the result was not as good as Fang Zun. The Fang Zun of Wei State Jiang Family was not selling well, but the beanware can be sold well. After you notify us, you two can exchange goods by themselves. My family only settled with each company according to the exchange results..."
The more Gou Shengzi said, the more it became smoother: "If there is no person who can settle the bill, you can return the goods that are not easy to sell to my house, and my house can prepare and digest them by themselves. If the return goods are worth 500 yuan, the returner can choose another goods to offset them. In this way, you don't have to worry about buying goods from the Bai family but it is difficult to sell; and then every six months will be a checkout cycle, and each company only needs to check out the goods sold."
"In this way, are we doing a business without money? Will the Bai family be so generous?"
The conditions are so good that it is simply outrageous. Merchants from all walks of life look at each other. If Bai Dong had not been famous too much, Bai Zi and Xiao Shizong, and everyone had seen those Bai porcelains, they would probably regard the Bai family as a liar.
"Haha, my Bai Zuo once said that the real way to make money is to make money together, not just consider the benefits of the whole family. If the Bai family wants to make a lot of money, everyone also wants to make a lot of money. We not only have to do business, but also be friends and partners."
Representatives of various businesses pondered slightly. In addition to the suggested selling price that they didn't like, the Bai family's conditions were all considered for them. This is not a business, it is simply the best good deed in the world! Bai porcelain is a good thing, but no matter how good the thing is, it may not be saturated in the market. Maybe they will buy goods and smash them into their hands. Now that the Bai family allows the exchange of goods, it is equivalent to eliminating their worries for them. This Bai Zuo is even more generous?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Gou Zuozi. In addition to being excited, they were more confused and worried. How could they hear that the Bai family was too generous and took too much advantage. Moreover, the suggested selling price was very bad. I wonder if there was any need to discuss it? (To be continued...)
