Rebirth Picking Leaks Started in 1992

In the early morning, Jiang Yuan opened the door and stretched while yawning.

Mark followed Jiang Yuan with a haggard look on his face. He suffered from motion sickness last night and fell asleep without eating. Now he felt weak and had an uncomfortable stomach.

"Uncle Jiang, take me to have breakfast first."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "I think you should just call me Jiang Yuan."

Mark was confused for a moment, "Didn't you say that according to your rules, I should call you uncle?"

Jiang Yuan laughed loudly, "You are a friend of that girl Wang Fei. If she calls me uncle, you will naturally also call me uncle. But didn't you see it yesterday? She doesn't treat me as an elder, so you should just call me uncle.

My name."

Mark frowned and thought for a while, seeming to think that what Jiang Yuan said made some sense.

But he always felt like something was wrong.

"Okay, don't think about it, I'll take you to have breakfast," Jiang Yuan patted Mark's shoulder and said as he walked: "You must have never seen the countryside in our country, take a good look, what a beautiful scenery it is.

.”

Mark took a deep breath of fresh air and looked around. He saw green mountains and forests, which was quite pleasant.

After a while, Jiang Yuan took Mark to the factory and saw many people already busy working.

The village leader, Jiang Quanquan, was carrying a large pot of porridge and a plate of pickled radish, which he was putting on the arranged table.

"Jiang Yuan, and this foreigner, please come and have breakfast and try this sour radish, your aunt made it."

Jiang Quanquan said and put a spoon on the table, "I heard that you foreigners are very particular and use a spoon to eat like a baby."

Jiang Yuan took Mark and sat down at the table, helped him fill a bowl of porridge, and put a chopstick of pickled radish into his bowl.

"Uncle Chen, stop working and eat first."

Chen Zhong nodded and walked over, but didn't look at Mark too much.

It was the first time for people in the village to see foreigners and they found them novel, but Chen Zhong had seen them several times.

When he was still in Jingdezhen, foreigners would visit there every now and then. Chen Zhong had long been used to it. He picked up his chopsticks and put a few pieces of pickled radish in a bowl, then took the bowl to inspect the tools.

Jiang Yuan finished the porridge in big gulps, but saw Mark sitting on the stool with a troubled face, staring straight into the bowl in a daze.

"Why are you standing there? Eat it, it's delicious."

Seeing that Mark still didn't start eating, Jiang Yuan shook his head, "It seems like you don't know how to enjoy it. Let me remind you that your next meal will have to wait until after twelve o'clock noon."

Upon hearing this, Mark finally gave in and ate spoonful after spoonful.

At first, he frowned, with a look of fear on his face, but after he took a few bites, the sour and salty taste seemed to have penetrated directly into his stomach, making him full of energy and appetite.

Wide open.

After eating three bowls of porridge and half a bowl of pickled radish, Mark got up and burped.

"Jiang, this dish is really delicious!"

Jiang Yuan nodded proudly, "Similar to our country's porcelain culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, kimchi culture also has a long history. It is appetizing and healthy, promotes digestion, refreshes the mind, and has many benefits."

"We only take out kimchi when entertaining distinguished guests," Jiang Yuan smiled and patted Mark on the shoulder, "This shows that everyone welcomes you to inspect."

Mark was instantly moved, "I didn't expect the people in your village to be so enthusiastic."

"That's right," Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up, "Okay, let me take you to see the samples first. Our Director Chen has prepared them overnight. After reading the samples, I will take you to see our production process.

.”

Mark nodded, but he didn't have too many expectations in his heart. It's not like he had never seen porcelain before.

In the sample room next to it, dozens of pieces of exquisite porcelain are placed on a row of shelves.

For example, a white-glazed thin-walled bowl imitating Ding kiln looks like it was carved from a layer of butter, which is extremely delicate and exquisite.

There is also an imitation Lushan kiln plum vase with a lid, which is grand in shape and has gray and white spots on its body. If you look closely, it looks like a landscape and cliff dwelling under the hazy moonlight.

It can be said that every piece of porcelain on the shelf is the most exquisite porcelain work from each kiln in the past dynasties.

These samples were made by Chen Zhong to test the effects of the new kiln, but the exquisite results are truly surprising.

Even Jiang Yuan felt moved after seeing it. It is no exaggeration to say that if he put these things in his shop, the quality of his shop would be several degrees higher.

Mark doesn’t understand our country’s porcelain culture, nor does he know the names of these porcelains, but he has basic aesthetic and artistic skills.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to the shelf, reached out and picked up a pastel peony kingfisher teacup, stroking it and admiring it, "Jiang Yuan, are these really porcelain? I didn't expect that porcelain can actually make so many beautiful things.

Come in the style.”

Jiang Yuan smiled confidently, "Our country's porcelain culture has a long history, and these are just the tip of the iceberg."

"A work of art, this is definitely a work of art!"

Mark picked up another colorful porcelain horse and couldn't put it down: "Jiang Yuan, how many pieces of this kind of porcelain can your factory produce in a month?"

Jiang Yuan gave Chen Zhong a look, and then heard Chen Zhong slowly say: "Every piece of porcelain has to go through mud washing, mud piling, drawing, printing, repairing, soaking, painting, glazing, and firing.

In addition to these basic steps, some special porcelain requires additional tedious steps."

"In addition, every step of our process is handmade, and the requirements are extremely strict."

With a serious face, Chen Zhong picked up a 'bucket plate with eight auspicious flowers and eight auspicious flowers painted with doucai and gold in imitation of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty', "A piece of porcelain like this will take at least five to seven days. This is the time to process the raw materials in advance."

"I have calculated that it can be officially put into production in half a month at most, and a maximum of a thousand pieces can be produced in a month."

Mark nodded and began to think deeply.

Jiang Yuan pulled Chen Zhong aside and asked, "Do you know the cost of each piece of porcelain?"

Chen Zhong gave Jiang Yuan a 'reassuring' look, and then said to Mark:

"I'll start with the ugly words. If you want the junk made by machines, I won't do it."

Mark smiled and shook his head, "What belongs to the nation belongs to the world, and porcelain that embodies national culture is the real work of art."

"If you didn't tell me these were just made, I would have regarded them as antiques."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Our strategy is to follow the route of traditional handmade art porcelain. In order to prevent people from using it for shady business, our products are all marked with the LOGO of the ceramics factory."

Jiang Yuan pointed to the bottom of the porcelain where the inscription was supposed to be, and saw the word "江" on it.

"I think we can talk about the price," Mark said with excitement. "I can't wait to ship these treasures back to my country. Your products will definitely be welcomed."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Then let's talk about the price directly."

Chen Zhong directly took out a book with a historical introduction to each type of porcelain and a price tag.

"The cheapest one costs 100 yuan?" Mark frowned, "The average monthly salary in your country is only more than 200 yuan. Is this price too high?"

"Not high at all!"

Chen Zhong said in a deep voice: "You know that making such a piece of porcelain requires not only the inheritance of skills, but also decades of research and dedication. Moreover, only one perfect porcelain can be selected out of every ten."

Jiang Yuan also nodded, "Mark, the price of these things in your domestic market will be at least double. I'm right."

Mark glanced at Jiang Yuan in surprise, "Have you been to Country Y?"

Jiang Yuan smiled mysteriously, "I know as much about foreign markets as you do."

Mark nodded doubtfully, "I came out this time with one hundred thousand dollars, and signed an order with Venus Enamel Factory for about twenty thousand dollars, and the remaining eighty thousand dollars..."

"Give it all to us!" Jiang Yuan smiled and put his arm around Mark's shoulders, "Consider it?"

Mark said angrily: "I need money to transport things back to country Y. I need money for living. I can spare up to fifty thousand US dollars."

Jiang Yuan

His mind was spinning rapidly. Fifty thousand US dollars meant more than 400,000. After excluding the cost... the ceramics factory could probably earn more than 100,000.

But Mark was not a fool. He shook his head and said, "I want your things, but we have to negotiate the price."

"Business without price negotiation has no soul, I understand," Jiang Yuan laughed loudly, "You name a price and I will never counter-offer. Don't worry, you can make an offer boldly!"

Mark's face was full of doubts, and he was a little unsure of Jiang Yuan's route.

"40% off, every piece of porcelain is 40% off the original price!"

"no!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and refused, "No way."

Mark was anxious, "Didn't you say you wouldn't counteroffer?"

"That's right, I didn't counter-offer, I just said no."

Mark sat down angrily, "30% off."

"no."

"Twenty percent off, if you still don't agree, then forget this deal."

"no!"

"Jiang, what do you mean?" Mark couldn't understand Jiang Yuan's meaning at all. "Didn't you invite me here? Didn't you want to do business with me? Then what's going on with your refusal now?"

Jiang Yuan lit a cigarette, handed another to Chen Zhong and Mark, lit it, and then continued:

"It's true that I'm here to find you, but that doesn't mean I'm asking you to buy our products."

"I dare say that you can't buy the things I have here anywhere else. You also know how much profit these things can bring you."

"You can also go to Jingdezhen and see where you can find porcelain that is purely handmade like ours and has such high artistic quality."

"The original price is a penny. If you don't want to, I will send you back to the city now."

Mark was silent.

Suddenly, Mark raised his head and met Jiang Yuan's gaze, with a flash of light in his eyes, "How about we change the way of cooperation."

"I am responsible for helping you sell in country Y. As a reward, you have to give me 50% of the profit."

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at Mark and said, "What are you dreaming about? It's better for me to go to country Y and sell it myself. Why do I need to go through your hands?"

"Ten percent, if you are willing, sign the contract."

Mark laughed. He shipped the things to country Y and could sell them for twice the price, but the risk was also high.

By adopting a cooperative approach, he does not need to pay too much money and can also increase shipments. Strictly speaking, there is more room for making money.

"OK, then ten percent!"

Mark said excitedly: "You must go all out in production this month. I will contact the ship as soon as possible. Then wait for my good news."

"By the way," Mark pointed to the samples on the shelf and said, "Can I send these samples back to country Y first? My family has many stores in country Y. I want to promote them in advance."

"Jiang Yuan, what do you think of the title 'Traditional Chinese Porcelain'?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "Too low."

"If you want to promote it, you can write like this - "'Purely Handmade', 'National Art' and 'Fine Porcelain' inherited from 'Ancient China' with 'Five Thousand Years of Civilization'"

Seeing Mark's confused face, Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said: "It's better to promote it like this - 'Jiangjiacun Porcelain, the fighter among porcelain!'"

"Remember, you must promote the brand 'Jiangjiacun' to me!"

"Let me give you another idea," Jiang Yuan grinned, "Don't you have many nobles in country Y? Just give them samples. As long as they like it, our porcelain will become the standard of your upper class."

"Luxury goods', the prices will definitely get higher and higher by then."

Mark's eyes lit up, "Good idea, let's do it, let's sign the contract!"

Chen Zhong was also a little excited. He was very excited when he thought that the porcelain he made might be popular abroad.

Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "The contract is not urgent. I will take you back to the city later and let my lawyer Gong Ping draft the contract."
