This greatly limits the ability of Jingcheng Arts and Crafts Factory to produce bionic porcelain.

But that's okay.

Don’t forget, didn’t Ning Weimin already have a foot in the art world through the “Sculpture Art Exhibition”?

He has good relations with two art academies in Beijing.

Especially in the sculpture department, he is very popular and well-connected.

So he made a change and directly entrusted the work to a teacher from the Sculpture Department.

According to the difficulty of production, orders for bionic porcelain blanks were distributed to graduated and current students in the Sculpture Department at prices ranging from ten yuan, eight yuan, five yuan, and three yuan.

Think about it, how appropriate this is!

The teachers and students of the sculpture departments of the two art academies have all benefited from it.

Everyone no longer has to worry about losing income every month.

As long as they are willing, they can make a few porcelain blanks from raw materials of porcelain clay, which is enough for them to live on.

And the artistic modeling level of these porcelain blanks far exceeds the level of folk craftsmen.

It is enough to greatly improve the final effect of bionic porcelain.

Then, coupled with Liu Yongqing’s unique skill of matching and coloring, is there anything wrong with the baked goods?

What's more, what's even more unexpected is that there is a noble person among them who takes the initiative to ask for help.

It was Ye Hemin, the ceramics expert.

I love this man. In addition to his work at the Forbidden City, he is also a visiting professor at the Ceramics Department of the Academy of Arts and Crafts.

Ye Hemin not only wanted to help Liu Yongqing repay Ning Weimin's favor, but also hoped to promote the students' academic progress.

So he took the initiative to find Ning Weimin and expressed his hope that his students could also participate.

This is a great thing, how could Ning Weimin not agree?

As expected, this is the right thing to do. Expert Ye and his students designed some exquisite porcelain blanks.

Such as longevity peach, Ganoderma pen holder, fruit crab plate, foreign colored plastic fruit stem serving plate...

After it was fired, I looked at it again and found that it was more professional than the porcelain blanks produced by the sculpture department, and it completely fell into the category of art.

Because of this, Ning Weimin set a high price for these bionic porcelains.

Just for fun, small items like lychees, peanuts, etc. would cost ten to eight yuan each.

Medium-sized paperweights such as cucumbers, corns, and eggplants are worth twenty or thirty foreign exchange coupons.

Porcelain boxes with practical value, such as persimmon boxes and peach jars, are sold at a higher price, requiring forty or fifty foreign exchange coupons.

And large and exquisite items such as cabbage ornaments, carp boxes, and lotus leaf plates cost almost eighty or ninety yuan.

There are not hundreds of them, because these are really good things made by Ye Hemin and his students.

Ning Weimin was reluctant to sell it, so he purchased it directly in the name of a restaurant and kept it for his own use.

All in all, in Ning Weimin’s eyes, whether it’s grapes or bionic porcelain, it’s impossible not to sell them.

He believes that the price may make some foreigners feel uncomfortable.

But you get what you pay for, which is definitely not considered bad.

So he didn't take it too seriously that day and held a regular meeting with the girls from Zhai Palace in the morning.

Just clarify the pricing standards.

Then he told the girls to place the grapes and bionic porcelain in eye-catching places as the main varieties they are promoting recently.

He left the Temple of Heaven in his car to do other things.

As a result, when he came back at four o'clock in the afternoon, he was dumbfounded.

I never expected that the actual market reaction would deviate greatly from my expectations.

These new items are selling like crazy!

All of them experienced overwhelming sales! They were almost sold out!

The first-hand information Ning Weimin got was fed back to him by Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng from Zhai Palace's internal membership store.

Because the store has a large business area, the utensils and porcelain are very delicate.

So most of the grape utensils and bionic porcelain have to be sold here.

Needless to say, Ning Weimin wanted to know the sales of new products that day, so he naturally came to the internal store to inquire.

When Ning Weimin entered the store, there were not many people in the store and it was very deserted.

This is not surprising, the sign outside is there to keep people out. If there are no foreigners, the place will be empty, and Chinese people will not come in.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng saw him, they didn't have time to be polite, so they rushed to speak in unison.

"Manager Ning, the new product we launched today is a bit troublesome!"

"What trouble?"

Ning Weimin couldn't believe it.

Seeing the sad faces of the two girls, he mistakenly thought that the sales were not good and his subordinates were complaining.

But in fact it's just the opposite.

"Oops, it's out of stock!"

"Yes, they are all sold out!"

Ning Weimin's brain shut down on the spot, and his first reaction was that he had heard wrong.

The eighty bunches of grapes and fifty or sixty bionic porcelain that he just brought this morning, these two girls actually told him that they were out of stock?

Some asked in disbelief, "What? Out of stock? All sold out! Impossible!"

"Oh, it's the bionic porcelain. Because it's so beautiful and similar, it sells out very quickly. Basically, it's all sold out before noon!"

"It's the same with those grapes. Foreigners don't believe they are fake. They keep asking if they can make wine, but they are all sold out before two o'clock in the afternoon."

Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng still complement each other in tandem.

Ning Weimin was even more confused, happy and puzzled at the same time.

"Then... isn't this great?? After selling so many goods, you will get a lot of commission! Why are you still looking so grim..."

Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng looked at each other for a moment, their faces turned red from holding back their tears, and they finally revealed the source of their distress.

"But we collected money from others, but forgot to keep the goods for them..."
Chapter completed!
