Chapter 165: You're finished
With such a clamor, the porcelain shop has begun to attract attention.
Especially when even the titles of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and many important figures are made, it will be even more eye-catching.
At this time, a person came from the end of the street. The man was named Li Yan, who was a merchant in Dongshi.
Of course, he has no shop and rarely shows up in public. Many people rumored that he is related to the Cui family in Qinghe.
There are actually many merchants like this who have a relationship with the aristocratic race.
After all... in this world, if there are not many aristocratic families like the backend, it is definitely not easy to go into business, especially to make the transaction bigger.
But it would be different if you get the resources of the aristocratic race.
In fact, although the aristocratic races seem to be very noble on the surface, they are actually secretly engaged in business. For example, the Cui family in Qinghe monopolized half of the pottery and porcelain in Guandong. For example, the Changsun family, except for the imperial court, 20 or 30% of the ironware in the world were smelted from his family.
The merchants who were running for them seemed to have nothing to do with them, but in fact... they were just their appearance.
Li Yan heard that the Chen family wanted to make ceramics, but she had been paying attention to it for a long time. After all, what he did was also a business of ceramics. With the support of Cui, he was a call for the wind and rain in Chang'an City, especially in Dongshi. No one who did ceramics trades did not know him.
As soon as the firecrackers were fired here, Li Yan brought a few people to the shop. As soon as he arrived, he was shocked.
Because there were many "famous quotes" hanging in front of this shop, which was exactly the same as those shouting friends said. Here, the prince's calligraphy was hung: "I love porcelain, especially Chen's porcelain."
There was also a letter from Princess Sui'an: "The Chen family's ceramics are the best in the world."
The handwriting of Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Gongjin was even more excessive: 'Chen's porcelain is good, really good, Chen's porcelain is amazing...'
Li Yan: “…”
He was a little confused.
So vulgar?
Did it really be written by the prince and the princess?
Not very similar.
Li Yan is a man of art. After all, he needs to deal with the elegant Cui children, so... he is also particularly particular. Seeing this vulgar thing, he suddenly felt that the Chen family's pattern was too low and had reached an unbearable level.
But... there were already many people around him, mostly merchants of all sizes. Everyone surrounded this and talked a lot. Someone actually said, "This word is easy to remember, Chen's porcelain is good, it's really good, hehe... it's interesting."
"I heard... there are many young children on the street chanting repeatedly."
"Yes, it will spread throughout the streets and alleys in less than half an hour."
Li Yan was stunned...
Is this really the case?
You know... people who consume porcelain are all noble families. Such people... would they pay for such vulgar words?
At this time, someone around me said, "I heard that there were only a few young men who had just bought a lot of porcelain without asking about the price."
"Scared, it's not someone invited by Duke Chen, right? Duke Chen has so many tricks and can do anything."
"Isn't this? Those young men have always been noble on weekdays. Their families are also famous and surnamed in Chang'an. Will such people be willing to wave flags and shout for the Chen family?"
"So, this is weird. Could it be that this porcelain is really different?"
"I know some reasons."
"Um?"
"Think about it, the aristocratic young men certainly don't like this Chen family porcelain. But... this thing is catchy. Everyone says that Chen family porcelain is good, but any good things must be precious. Those young men want to be unique and buy the best ones? Ordinary people only know that Chen family porcelain is good, but they can't afford it. The wealthy people naturally use good things that ordinary people praise, so that... they will look noble."
After the merchant explained, many people nodded secretly.
Li Yan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and his body was shocked.
This may really be the case.
What is honorary? Reputable things are not secret. They seem to be promoting the ceramics of Chen family, but they only target those who cannot afford porcelain at all. On the surface, it seems to be confused, but in fact... those who cannot afford to consume word of mouth have caused a huge momentum, which just satisfies the desire of many families to pursue honor.
Li Yan didn't know that in later generations, his descendants had long played this trick. No matter what luxury goods, they sold them for 100,000 yuan, and advertising marketing accounted for several thousand. However, these advertising marketing was not aimed at those nobles, because the nobles were very busy and sober. They didn't read advertisements, and even if they watched them, they were disdainful and thought that this was fooling. After all,... no one who could afford such things was extremely smart.
The marketing of luxury goods is actually aimed at ordinary people. They need to make the concept of luxury all over the world know. Only when everyone knows Lao Moushi, L Mouv Hershi, those who have money but don’t have time to pay attention to advertisements will buy without hesitation. There is only one reason... Everyone knows that everyone can’t afford it, so what I want is to put it out, display and distinguish identity.
Human nature is common, but the ancients were like this. Although on the surface, everyone promoted the values of frugality and spoke in a simple conversation, as if everyone did not like things from the world. But if these nobles were like this, then would so many gold, silver and jade ornaments in ancient times emerge out of thin air?
"This Chen Zhengtai is not doing business. This dog is really thinking about it. No wonder he wants to make a fortune." Li Yan thought to herself. He had a bad impression of Chen Zhengtai. Among the Cui family's children, whenever everyone mentioned Chen Zhengtai, they would inevitably curse, and Li Yan naturally could not avoid the vulgarity.
Immediately, he followed the crowd and entered the porcelain shop.
In the porcelain shop, there are rows of shelves, and there are a wide range of porcelains on them.
There are all kinds of porcelain, whether it is vases, dishes, or other decorations.
It is very rare here because there is no counter in front, nor does it place the goods behind the shopkeeper, but it is placed directly on the shelves for visitors to touch and play with them at will.
When Li Yan saw the porcelain, her eyes couldn't move.
He walked to a blue and white porcelain vase and felt his body be a little stiff.
Oh my god...is this porcelain?
You should know... In the early Tang Dynasty, porcelain was just emerging. The ceramics of this era were more like some kind of higher-level pottery. The surface of the ceramics was not bright because they had no glazing concept, and the color was also colored later and was very easy to fall off.
But the porcelain bottle in front of me was not only bright, but when I touched it, it seemed that there was a layer of crystal on the outside, and the color... it seemed to penetrate deep into the outer crystal of the ceramic.
Too perfect.
I am afraid that there is no porcelain in the world that can compare with this porcelain bottle.
What's more, the shape and patterns are all not available on the market before, giving people a very novel feeling.
The bottom of the porcelain bottle contains the engravings of Chen's porcelain industry.
Such things are only priceless.
Li Yan thought so, but found that... under the porcelain bottle placed on the shelf, there was a sign hanging, the name of the porcelain bottle was written on it, and the price was marked, which was no more or less, just the same as the usual amount.
For ordinary people, the money is the income from working in a month, and many people are even worse. I am afraid that they don’t even have it. Even if they don’t eat or drink, they can’t buy a utensil on the shelf. But in Li Yan’s eyes, he was stunned. The price... is similar to the price of ordinary ceramics on the market...
He was in a mess at this time.
Oh no... When such porcelain comes out, where can Cui's ceramics be located? Such texture, such color, such price... Cui's... I'm afraid that he will never be able to get involved in the ceramic industry again.
And myself...
He suddenly felt a little panicked.
The friend beside him saw that he had stopped here for a long time, and smiled and said, "Do you like it? If you like it, you can't take the porcelain bottle away. You have to go to the counter to pay, and then go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. Of course... Our Chen family porcelain industry has regulations. If it is a bulk purchase, it costs more than 30 guan. The customer only needs to pay the money and can go home directly. In our store, the goods will be packaged and delivered according to the address left by the customer."
"You might as well look around. There are many good things here. Look there... everyone is rushing to pay."
Li Yan turned around and saw the counter.
The counter was a long Hu table, three or four feet long. Behind the counter, there were more than a dozen accounting rooms, each lying on the Hu table. Many customers recorded the goods on the shelves and had already started to queue up to buy them.
There are many of them, and there is an acquaintance who is recognized by Li Yan. He is a merchant from the eastern capital Luoyang. He has dealt with him in the past and has obtained a batch of porcelain from him.
But now...
The other party said proudly: "I want 100 pieces of all porcelains. Is there any discount?"
When Li Yan heard this, she knew that the other party had purchased goods directly from Chen's porcelain industry.
It's going to be bad.
Li Yan was in a state of confusion for a moment.
So he hurriedly looked at the mate and said, "How much is the porcelain you have here?"
This is his last hope.
Such good porcelain must be difficult to produce. If it is not easy to produce, it may be difficult to impact the Cui family's market. After all,... they only have so much goods, at most they can steal some of the customers.
The guy was happy: "Customer, how much do you want? Tell me a few points. Since our Chen porcelain industry dares to open the door to do business, we will not have to worry about the lack of goods. Our warehouses are all goods. Moreover, batches of goods will be delivered from the porcelain kiln every day. As long as you dare to buy, the Chen family will dare to sell them!"
When Li Yan heard this, she suddenly felt a dark look in front of her: "It's over."
