The little man is born to make money

"Jinyu, where did you get this thing?" Father Xie asked tremblingly, his eyes full of doubts about life.

The wooden box that Xie Jinyu handed him contained nothing but the first batch of celadon that had been rushed out.And the one in Xie Jinyu's hands was the first time he made it by himself. Washing, making embryos, forging, and coloring were all made by Xie Jinyu himself, and there was no step by hand.

"I made this with my own hands. Father, what do you think?" Xie Jinyu's face was full of pride, and she looked at Father Xie inadvertently, her eyes were full of compliments on me.

Father Xie stood up, took out the porcelain carefully wrapped in red cloth from the wooden box, and kept looking at it in his hand.

The cyan porcelain is translucent all over, with a smooth complexion, and the color engraved on it is a big cyan like grass.The celadon was made into a small jade vase with short feet.The belly is oval and round, which is really cute.The mouth of the bottle is folded from the inside to the outside, like a flower with a pistil, which is extremely beautiful.

This is a very perfect porcelain. Not only is the workmanship exquisite, but the azure color on it is unique, and the highlights are very beautiful!

Father Xie has been making porcelain for so many years, but this is the first time he saw porcelain of this color, and he was so excited immediately that he couldn't put it down.

"You made it, is it really you who made it?" Father Xie stared at the porcelain in his hand without raising his head, and was so excited that he was incoherent, "Jinyu, don't lie to me as your father, when will you know how to make porcelain! "

Although Father Xie thinks that his son is good in everything, this porcelain doesn't look like it could be made by Jin Yu, who doesn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers.

Xie Jinyu snorted, took Xie's father's hand, and was very proud, "I did it, and Master Lin instructed me to do it! Grandpa Wu knew about it, father, you underestimated me too much, if I didn't fully How could he take over this mess with such certainty?"

Father Xie's hand holding the porcelain bottle trembled, and he almost fell. He looked at Xie Jinyu with complicated eyes, "Is it Lao Lin who taught you?" He didn't know what kind of mentality he was in. is his joy.

Xie Jinyu nodded, "That's right, it is the firing method that Master Lin and Master Zhao experimented together. Father, with this celadon, even if Grandpa's secret recipe for making porcelain is leaked, our Xie family will not collapse."

Father Xie burst into tears, holding the porcelain vase in his arms as if holding a rare treasure, and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, our Xie family is saved!"

"Jinyu, you have great skills!" Father Xie suddenly said, looking at Xie Jinyu solemnly, with hopes that Xie Jinyu had never discovered before, "From now on, you will do the business of Xie's family with your father. Let them see how outstanding our Jinyu is!"

"En!" Xie Jinyu happily responded, staring at the celadon in Father Xie's arms with burning eyes.

"We have to hide this matter from the family members first. You and Lao Wu secretly made the porcelain. This time our Xie family was tricked, but we must not suffer from this dumb loss!" Father Xie suddenly thought of the secret recipe. There are also behind-the-scenes masterminds in the leak, and they plan to use their tricks, "They took our Xie family's prescription, and they must want to compete with us for the porcelain business in the six southwest counties. Our Xie family has been in business for so many years, and we are still a bit famous. These If people want to compete with us, they will definitely not be able to compete with us for fame and reputation."

"So, they will definitely win by price. The porcelain they sell in the market must be cheaper than ours!" Xie Jinyu took Father Xie's words and continued to analyze.

Father Xie nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, since they want to lower the price, we'll follow suit, and we'll see who can beat it then!"

Hearing this, Xie Jinyu frowned, "But in this way, we are bound to lose a lot, isn't it worthwhile?"

Father Xie shook his head, with an old fox-like smile on his face, "Jinyu, this is the first lesson my father wants to teach you, businessmen value profits! Do you think those people set up such a big trap to make our Xie family's production What is the purpose of the porcelain prescription? Is it really just to bring down our Xie family?

If you think so, it is superficial.There are so many ways to make money in the world, there are so many rich households in Jiangning City, besides Jiangning, there are other places, there are so many merchants with names and surnames, if anyone is jealous, they will be ruined, such a person will not do anything Get rich!

Destroying Xie's family is just one of their goals, the real purpose is to make money from Xie's porcelain recipes.In the eyes of some people, our Xie family's porcelain making recipe is an old hen that lays golden eggs. As long as this old hen is always around, the Xie family can live a life of counting silver every day.

Let me ask, if you had a way to get this secret recipe, would you be tempted? "

Xie Jinyu took a breath, suddenly realized something, and hesitated to speak.

"You guessed it right, money touches people's hearts. Only enough benefits can attract wolves, tigers and leopards to bite. If they only want to bring down the Xie family, those people have no grievances with us, so why take such a big risk Participating in it? Presumably the person who came up with such a poisonous plan must have promised great benefits!

And this benefit is naturally our Xie family's secret recipe for making porcelain.

Those who can participate in this matter are basically rich, powerful and powerful. Otherwise, how can the family be killed without knowing it? "

Xie Jinyu clenched her fists tightly, her nails were about to dig into her flesh.No wonder, the Xie family fell so quickly in the previous life, he only thought that those people turned their faces and ruthless, never thought that this matter involved a wide range, maybe there is also the handwriting of the family that the Xie family had befriended!

Xie's father saw that Xie Jinyu's eyes showed displeasure. Although he felt distressed, he still tore away the dark side early. Only the bloody lessons can make him remember, and it will not be easy to suffer losses in the business field in the future.

"As the saying goes, if you don't get a profit, you can't get too early. If they want to get a share, there will not be too many people participating, because if there are too many, the benefits that they can wait for will be less; but it will definitely not be just two or three. People, because in this way, they can't swallow the whole Xie family at all."

When Father Xie said this, seeing that Xie Jinyu was still a little confused, he explained more bluntly, "Therefore, after they get the secret recipe, there will never be more than five families that actually participate in porcelain making. And among these five families, who wants to If they completely annex us, they will definitely want to seize the market with us at the beginning, and their cheap price is their biggest advantage.

Our Xie family may be more famous than them at the beginning and can take advantage of a little bit, but as more porcelain is sold, ordinary people realize that there is no difference in quality between several porcelains, and they will naturally choose the cheaper one. payment.

And by that time, our reputation will start to decline, and we will gradually be swallowed up by several other companies. "

Xie Jinyu nodded, staring at the porcelain in Xie's father's hand, and asked, "This situation is based on the assumption that we are not as good as them. It stands to reason that they have mastered the recipe, and our Xie family has insufficient background, so we really can't compete with them." Head-to-head. If we were smart, we should shrink the industry honestly and make a fortune in the end. But now that we have celadon and a new trump card, should they be the ones who are really afraid?"

Father Xie chuckled, "Jinyu, you should really get involved in the family business earlier!"

"We have celadon, and we are not afraid of them. On the contrary, their purpose of lowering the price at the beginning was just to overthrow us. After the Xie family really no longer exists, they will definitely restore the price of porcelain to normal levels. They lowered the price, and we also lowered the price Now, people see that all the prices on the market are the same, so they will naturally choose to buy porcelain in our time-honored brand.

In this way, it is completely different from their expectations, so they can only grit their teeth and continue to lower the price, and as long as we keep up with their prices, within half a month, even if they get the porcelain square, so what?Still can only do business at a loss! "

Xie Jinyu's eyes became brighter and gloating, "They wanted to get our family's secret recipe just to make money, but in the end they found that not only they couldn't make money, but they also lost money. They must be very angry." pissed off!"

If the Xie family didn't have celadon, they would naturally have to let mermaid go. But now that they have celadon, they are naturally not afraid to compete with the people behind the scenes for price. In the end, they will be the first to be unable to bear it and close the business.

Father Xie laughed loudly after hearing Xie Jinyu's words, his eyes were full of pride, "Brother Yu, you are indeed my child!"

"When we put the celadon in the shop, it will definitely make those angry people vomit blood!"

"Is father going to sell celadon like this?" Xie Jinyu asked quickly.

"That's natural. Could it be that you have other ideas?" Father Xie became interested and asked with a smile.

Xie Jinyu really disagrees with selling celadon like this. The Xie family can benefit too much from celadon. If it is just a simple sale like this, it will inevitably feel a little overkill.

"Father, let's not say that the materials and time required to make celadon are much more expensive than ordinary kiln porcelain. Could it be that you haven't considered that the Xie family will take this opportunity to make another move?"

There was a different look on Xie Jinyu's face, and he looked uplifted. He lowered his voice and leaned into Xie's father's ear, "This is a new kind of porcelain! Look at its color, texture, and appearance. Is it more beautiful? Exquisite and extravagant? Compared with ordinary kiln porcelain, it looks more like the appearance that rich people like!

Official families, aristocrats, and those rich and wealthy households, what do you like most?They like to show off their identity, status, and show off what others don't have!And this last point is the biggest advantage of celadon.As long as we operate well, celadon will become popular throughout Jiangning City and become the new favorite of the nobles, and maybe even be sold to those officials in the capital! "

When Xie Jinyu finished speaking, Father Xie was surprised, and stared at the celadon in his hand even more fieryly, "You are right, you are still thoughtful! This is a big treasure, as long as we find a way to make the upper class people in the city like him, The reputation of our Xie family will naturally increase! In the future, we will not only be able to sell ordinary kiln porcelain, but also open up noble line business, the best of both worlds!"

Xie Jinyu agrees very much, and he thinks the same way, but how to make the upper class favor celadon?

At the same time, Jiangning City suddenly opened a new Zhangji Porcelain Shop, the porcelain sold there is not only exactly the same as the ones that Xie's is selling, but also the price is twice as cheap as Xie's!

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! Their Zhang family has gone too far, and they won't let us live!" The third uncle smashed a teacup violently, and cursed angrily, "Didn't your father just steal a steamed stuffed bun from old man Zhang back then? As for all these years, are you still worried about it?"

Father Xie chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, without saying a word.The Zhang family is just an enemy on the surface, the real enemy is still hiding in the dark, waiting to see Xie's jokes!

"Since they lowered the price, let's lower the price too!" Father Xie said, looking coldly at the rest of the family with their eyes wandering around, looking bewildered.

"No, no, if the price is lowered, how much money will you make?" A clan elder retorted.The Xie family's porcelain is originally a price of conscience, under the banner of high quality and low price, the more the better.

If the price is lowered, it is really a loss.

"Yes, second child, are you confused? We can't lower the price, otherwise we won't waste anyone else, and we will go bankrupt first."

"That's right, that's right!" Many clan elders agreed with this statement, and they were unwilling to sell porcelain at a lower price.

"Then what do uncles and uncles think about it?" Father Xie took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

"This..." The clan elder who retorted at the beginning felt like sitting on pins and needles, afraid to speak.

They don't know how to do business, how do they know what to do?Shouldn't this matter be considered by the second child?

"You guys are not willing to lower the price, and you can't think of a way to save it, so what's the use of sitting here?" Father Xie sneered. He pointed fingers.

"This……"

Several clan elders looked at each other, and then someone bit the bullet and said, "Why don't you let Jinyu marry Prince Wang? I think Wang Shouren is not good in appearance, but he is pretty good in other aspects, and He is sincere to Jinyu, it is good for Jinyu to follow him!"

"That's right, that's right, the Wang family has a lot of money, Jinyu just needs to blow the pillow a little bit to get married, and our Xie family will be saved."

"enough!"

Father Xie knocked the teacup on the table, making a muffled sound.

He frowned, his face was cold, and he stared at the elders in the clan with cold eyes, "So you actually have such an idea!"

It's not enough to just suck his blood, even Jinyu won't let it go!

"Second, what do you mean? We are doing it for Jinyu's sake. Strictly speaking, Jinyu's marriage to Prince Wang is considered a high-ranking man. He is just a brother, why sacrifice for the Xie family? Let's Just give him a few more dowries."

A patriarch retorted indifferently, and just said that Xie Jinyu was lucky to be able to play a role at a critical moment.

"Hehe~" Father Xie sneered, staring at everyone, "You all think so?"

No one answered, and they all avoided Xie's father's sight.

"I don't agree!" The third uncle slapped the table fiercely, staring at the few clansmen, hating that iron cannot be made into steel, "If something happens today, let Jinyu get married, but if something happens tomorrow, should you let your daughter marry?

All the men in our Xie family are dead, so we have to rely on a woman to marry to save the Xie family?If you really think so, then you might as well divide the sect!I think the second child has spoiled you all these years, making you all forget what your family lives on! "

The third uncle was panting heavily after finishing his speech.Such a clansman, don't mind!He understood now that the entire Xie family, except for the second child's family, were normal people, the others were nothing but a group of blood-sucking leeches and people-eating white-eyed wolves!

"Third Uncle, what do you mean by this? What sect?"

"That's right, third brother, isn't this bad?"

Many people tried to persuade them, but no matter how they sounded, they felt a little guilty.That's right, if they were in the past, they would never have been willing to divide the clan. With such a good backer as Father Xie, what advantage would they get if they split the clan?

But it's different now, the Xie family is about to collapse.Seeing that Father Xie has no other way to save the situation, if he doesn't hurry up and break up with them at this time, is it possible that he is hiding away when Father Xie pays his debts?They're a little messed up, but they're not stupid, so hurry up and run away now!

The third uncle saw the reaction of the people, and he knew how they made the choice in their hearts.He originally thought that these people would hesitate for a while when he proposed to divide the sect, but now it seems that he took everything for granted.

"Since that's the case, let's divide the clan like this while everyone is here today!" The third uncle sighed and asked someone to ask for the genealogy.It is said that the tree has big branches, and the Xie family has not yet risen, but the hearts of the Xie family are already scattered. How can such a family last for a long time?

Xie Jinyu didn't know that he had been thinking about how to divide the clan, so it was solved by the third uncle and his father together.

He is currently sitting on top of the largest teahouse in Jiangning City, quietly eating refreshments and waiting for others.

Early this morning, Xie Jinyu invited Lin Qi to the teahouse to discuss the sale of celadon.It's just as if Lin Qi was stumped by something, Xie Jinyu couldn't help but feel puzzled before he reached the teahouse at this point.

"Master Xie, I've been waiting for a long time!" Lin Qi hurried over, his face still full of heat.

Today's Lin Qi was wearing a light purple robe, the cuffs and hem were embroidered with dark patterns with silver thread.The majestic yet luxurious, coupled with that handsome and sharp face, is enough to make the girls who come and go.

Xie Jinyu's face also heated up, especially when she noticed the envious eyes from all around her, she felt even more embarrassed.

He should find a private room!

"Let's go to the private room and talk about it. After all, it involves commercial secrets?" Qi Lin smiled secretly, as if mentioning it casually.

"Okay!" Xie Jinyu nodded, secretly relieved in her heart, and followed Qi Lin upstairs.

"Young Master Xie, try this dim sum. This is the signature of this teahouse. If I hadn't known the shopkeeper well, I wouldn't have been able to eat such hot food." Qi Lin pushed the dim sum in front of him and placed it in front of Xie Jinyu.

The green tea is dotted with a small petal of pink peach blossoms, with a scent of clear tea after the rain.

"It does look exquisite." Xie Jinyu took a sip, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

Qi Lin drank tea and said leisurely, "I have already made an agreement with my uncle. When the time comes for my cousin's adult ceremony, all the porcelain in Prince An's Mansion will be replaced with celadon. There are famous people in the six counties, Mr. Xie has to step up his supervision of the porcelain workshop and rush to produce a batch of celadon."

"You said you've already made an agreement with King An?" Xie Jinyu's eyes widened, staring at Qi Lin roundly, surprised and delighted, "Really?"

He asked Lin Qi out because he wanted Lin Qi to be on the line of the prince, and tried to get the prince to help them make Celadon famous.But before he had time to say it, Lin Qi actually managed all of this!

Qi Lin nodded and looked at Xie Jinyu with a slight smile, "Young Master Xie and I have thought of going together. Compared with other things, with the signboard of Prince An's Mansion, Celadon's reputation will definitely be a hit!"

In the entire Southwest, who can be more honorable than King An?As long as King An nodded, it would be difficult for Qingci to stay popular.

Xie Jinyu clenched his hands into fists, his palms sweating excitedly, staring at the stars in Qi Lin's eyes.

Lin Qi, you are awesome, you are really my best partner!
