Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 541 If you have the heart, drink this cup

"Divided, diverted?" The two officials of Sun Zhifu and Ji County were fine, but Cheng Qian, the head of the porcelain industry, was struck by a thunderbolt.

It's all strung together, everything is strung together!

Why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu come to Jingdezhen suddenly with those gangs of Jiangnan merchants?

Why did you attack yourself as soon as you came, and put a big hat on yourself and the Porcelain Industry Guild as a smuggler?
Why did he propose the establishment of the Porcelain Industry Association yesterday, and set up so many branches?
Why are the floating population of Jingdezhen being used again today to question Jizhi County?

Everything is foreshadowing, the purpose is to poach part of Jingdezhen's industry!

It's a pity that it's too late to wake up, His Highness has already made every step of the way, completely cornering himself, leaving him with no choice but to agree...

~~
In fact, Cheng Qian forced himself to add drama.If Zhu Zhen wanted to mess with him, he didn't even need to speak, just a look was enough.

Only considering the particularity and complexity of Jingdezhen's porcelain industry, His Royal Highness the King of Chu patiently did enough foreplay to make it easier for Cheng Qian to accept.

The relationship between the two parties should be smoother, so that the follow-up cooperation can be good, and the disharmony between the two parties will not cause a lot of trouble.

Zhu Zhen has learned that Jingdezhen's porcelain industry is a very close group.They jointly kept the industry secrets and consciously xenophobic to maintain the monopoly position of Jingdezhen porcelain.

And through these few days of visits, he also understood how Jingdezhen keeps secrets.In addition to various secret recipes, the most important thing is the extremely detailed division of labor.

A worker goes in to work for several years, repeating the same process.While practice makes perfect, I basically don't understand other processes.

Therefore, it is almost useless to simply poach people, and it is also difficult to poach workers who work in more than 100 processes.Even if you get all of them, you have no way to organize production, let alone select ingredients, which are the secret recipes only mastered by the owner.

In addition, there is a very real problem. Even if the human problem is solved, will all the raw materials have to be transported from Jiangxi to Suzhou?Still have to try to find alternatives locally.

This requires the subjective initiative of everyone from top to bottom, and even the collective efforts of the entire industry.Only then will it be possible to successfully replicate Jingdezhen in Jiangnan.

Therefore, he didn't want to spoil the relationship with Cheng Qian and his group.

To put it simply, it is not only to rob you, but also to ask you to cooperate happily.

But for Cheng Qian, being robbed is easy, but it's really hard to be happy.

That's cultivating a competitor in person!Moreover, the opponent's back is against the south of the Yangtze River, with strong financial resources and convenient transportation. The conditions in all aspects are unmatched by Jingdezhen.

Once they are really successful, they will definitely become Jingdezhen's strongest competitors, and it is even possible to bring Jingdezhen to the ground.

Thinking of digging his own grave with his own hands, it was too late for Cheng Qian to cry, so why should he laugh?What a joke!

"Hey, don't be like this." His Royal Highness Chu Wang was very considerate of his difficulties, poured a glass of wine for Cheng Qian himself, and said to him: "Come, drink this glass, and listen to me and you slowly. explain."

"Thank you, Your Highness..." Cheng Qian took the wine glass tremblingly, and drank it with his head raised.I just feel that this is the bitterest glass of wine I have ever drank in my life, and my whole face is wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.

"Cheng Qian, don't make a sad face. Your Highness pours wine for you, what a face!" Seeing Cheng Qian's bear, Sun Zhifu wished to eat him alive, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

"Yeah, Cheng Qian, just smile." Ji Zhixian thought the same thing, for fear that he would offend Lao Liu, the smiling tiger.

"Hey..." Cheng Qian forced out a smile, which was uglier than crying.

"Okay, okay," Zhu Zhen waved his hands with a look of resignation, "Don't stand and talk without back pain, both of you shut up. It's normal for Lao Cheng to have emotions. Twisted melons are not sweet, my lord." You have to relieve him of his worries before he can untangle his heart."

"Hey." Both officials shut up obediently.

"I know what you're worried about." He walked to Cheng Qian's side, pressed his shoulder and said, "It's nothing more than the group of people who were separated, will they turn around and compete with me for business?"

"Yes, it is like this. Jiangnan is rich and powerful, and is His Highness's own son. Let them do it, how can we have a job?" Cheng Qian nodded and said tearfully:
"The villain is the leader of the industry, and he has to consider the more than 500 colleagues in Jingdezhen."

"Understood, this king fully understands." Zhu Zhen nodded and said with strength in his hands:
"That's why this king wants to set up this porcelain industry association to curb vicious competition and promote the healthy development of the national porcelain industry. And this king has decided that you will be the first president of this association, okay?"

"Cheng Huishou, this is a great face." Eunuch Zhou said sourly: "Yesterday, His Highness told our family that all porcelain for export in the future must be certified by the Porcelain Industry Association. No export is allowed.

"What's more, what price to export each type of porcelain, and how much each branch will share, all have the final say. If you become the president, all the kilns in the country will be opened or closed, and it's all up to you. What is there to be afraid of?"

"The words are like this..." Cheng Qian was really moved, but he was too embarrassed to agree so he had to be reserved first.

Seeing that he really took the bait, Sun Zhifu and Ji County on the side couldn't help sighing secretly, the businessman just looked at his eyes.So what if you are the leader of this meeting?With His Highness here, can you still turn the world upside down?If His Royal Highness is unhappy in the future, is it just a matter of him replacing you?
But after thinking about it, how could His Highness play such petty thoughts with him? As long as Cheng Qian doesn't go too far, His Highness probably will protect him.After all, he was the first leader introduced by His Highness.

Thinking about it this way, the two officials were quite envious of Cheng Qian.Your Highness really treats him and Jingdezhen Porcelain Industry differently...

It is more than ten times better than those who are officials.

Of course, isn't this meeting a curse?
After all, the condition for His Highness to let him be the leader of the meeting is to let him help Suzhou establish a porcelain industry.If he doesn't work hard, not only will he not be able to be the president, but they will lose their share in the export in the future.

"Haha, old Cheng, why are you still playing tricks?" Sun Zhifu teased Cheng Qian.

"Cheng Huishou is thin-skinned, normal." His Royal Highness smiled and poured him another glass of wine, and said, "If you want to, just drink this glass, how about it?"

"Hey, as ordered." Cheng Qian picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

"Hahaha!" Everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

"Is this glass of wine good?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's delicious." Cheng Qian smiled embarrassedly.Then he got up quickly, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness is so magnanimous and loving, how can a villain not know how to flatter you? From now on, I will follow His Highness's lead, and I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

"Haha, good." Zhu Zhen laughed happily and said, "From now on, Daming's porcelain industry will be entrusted to Cheng Huishou!"

"Yes." Cheng Qian hurriedly replied loudly.

Everyone also congratulated, congratulating His Highness for accepting another tiger general.
