Chapter 113: A new look (Part 2)

Not only Qihai Trading Company, after getting the news, many merchants from Jiuzhou Trading Company also entered the exhibition with good relationships with the senior management of Qihai Trading Company. In this experimental ordering party, a total of 122 merchants of all sizes and merchants from all walks of life participated in the exhibition, with a total of 417 booths, and a total of more than 40,000 products displayed. The ordering meeting of Qihai Trading Company can be regarded as a full demonstration of the strong strength of the merchants from all over the country, and also allowed a large number of merchants, including those Hu merchants, to see the opportunity.

There are as many as 2,200 products related to Ye’s Workshop alone. Most of them belong to the high-tech products of this era. This is when Ye’s IKEA Home Furnishings only came up with some of the products suitable for ocean-going trade.

The various styles and levels of the Tissot Watch House attracted a lot of attention. At this ordering meeting, the Tissot Watch House even displayed and released the first portable type of this era, a small clock that was one circle larger than a can in Ye Tao's impression.

Ye Tao didn't know whether Yi Zhanlou was in line with the habits of Hu Shang and more Westerners. But his equal treatment of his merchants made Yi Zhanlou occupy a booth. In this booth, in addition to setting up a chessboard for two people to play and hanging out a schematic diagram of the grand strategy game, he only displays some marching chess tools, as well as some marching chess and grand strategy game rules manuals translated into Frank and Persian. However, many Hu Shangbao have seen the prosperous business of Yi Zhanlou in Yicheng. These people tentatively purchased some chess tools and rule manuals, which is also a big order for Yi Zhanlou.

If the two most eye-catching booths at the entire exhibition are also the Yes Workshop. Yes Workshop has now produced and formulated various navigational measurement instruments, geological and terrain measurement instruments, military rangefinders and other more than 30 precision measurement instruments. It is preparing to establish a special sales agency called "Bosch Instruments". Although these instruments are expensive, except for samples on the day of the exhibition, all the samples were sold out. As for the printed instructions, product lists and technical indicator manuals of Yes Workshop, there is even a shortage of supply. Once you taste the benefits of sextant for navigation and understand the benefits of rangefinders and shooting calculators for naval combat, the sales results of "Bosch Instruments" in the future are unlimited.

Another booth is an emerging growth point of Ye’s Workshop: porcelain. Originally, the production process of Ye’s Workshop was quite extensive, mainly to meet the mid- and low-end markets. However, as Ye Tao became a partner of Baishi City Guan’s company, the situation completely changed. Ye Tao, Tan Weixin and Guan Yinhang discussed and split the Guan’s into two parts. After the improvement of Ye Tao’s technology, the output of Yun Kiln increased by more than three times, and finally it could meet some orderly supply orders in Dongping, and it could also have some surplus of output. This part of the surplus was finely packaged and became an extremely precious gift.

The production and sales of Guan's middle and low-end porcelain sites, which were originally not well-known, were merged with the Imperial Kiln belonging to the inner palace and the porcelain workshop belonging to the Ye Family Workshop. The production process and management of Ye Family's porcelain workshop, the formulas of special porcelain specially supplied to the royal family and Guan's craftsmanship were organically combined. It actually became a leading position in the domestic porcelain industry. The three families moved the porcelain craftsmen and equipment to a newly built town near Danyang. The migrant craftsmen and their families occupied most of the town at once. Therefore, the town was honestly and unceremoniously named "Jingdezhen" by Ye Tao and Tan Weixin. This ordering party was the first time that the porcelain site produced by Jingdezhen was unveiled.

Bone porcelain, blue and white porcelain, and thin body porcelain can arouse the amazement and price-seeking of Hu merchants who have never seen high-end porcelain in the East. The vases and plates produced by Yun Kiln, which were displayed on display, were even regarded as "magic tools". However, at the Jingdezhen booth, the most eye-catching thing was Ye Tao's display of colors in a dazzling manner. In the booth, there were twenty-four unglazed colors on a row of shelves outside, just a simple fired porcelain blank, and behind, eight rows of vases were placed in a step-shaped shape, with a total of 256 vases exactly the same shape and none of the same color. Ye Tao almost used the vase to put out a set of color cards. Two hundred and fifty-six colors, according to the electronic game, it is eight colors.

Eight colors can be realized in the past. How much time and energy he has put into finding suitable glazes and formulating production processes. The gradual birth of a variety of colors is common in the Ye Family Workshop, but when these things are concentrated into a set of color cards, this visual impact is dazzling even if those technicians who specialize in glaze making are dizzy. As for merchants everywhere, especially those who have some understanding of porcelain, they are admiring and racking their brains to think about how these colors were made. Looking at the awe, confusion, puzzlement, and helpless expressions of these people, Ye Tao felt that the efforts he had put in was definitely worth it.

Some merchants in Chunnan and Beiliao are interested in the various heavy weapons that the Ye Family Workshop can produce. Long-range strike weapons such as catapults, crossbows and divine arm bows are not produced except for a few merchants in Dongping. As for the crossbows, they are even more unique to the Ye Family Workshop. The arms business has always been huge profits, but Ye Tao, who knows this, dares not and does not want to make money in this regard. He already knows that the Tan family's father and son want to unify the Central Plains, so there is no need to cause trouble for his future "family members". For these "merchants" who obviously have official backgrounds and can smuggle weapons, although they cannot sell things such as catapults, such as arrows and spears, can still make some money. Ye's rolling machine produces this

The labor cost of some things is almost negligible. In Dongping, the price of these military consumables cannot be oversuppressed, and only targeted the supply of troops with strong relationships such as the Blood Qi Army, Yicheng Navy, and the City Defense Forces. However, there is no such concern for the foreign sales of these things. The low price of arrows and spears in Ye's workshop really surprised those "merchantrs" who knew this at least had some knowledge of this door. However, they naturally ordered in large quantities. What satisfied Ye Tao even more was that the two merchants from Bei Liao actually proposed a transaction method of using wood to exchange arrows. For the Qihai Trading Company, which is booming and has too many large-scale construction areas and many ships need to be built, this is much more cost-effective than collecting money and buying wood.

Excellent and unique goods, orderly exhibition arrangements, and low-key but solid marketing have made Ye's corporate group a role model for many businesses to learn from. Ye Tao has understood that instead of spending a lot of effort to make those merchants believe that what they said is useful, it is better to let everyone see the results and then learn it effectively by themselves. At this exhibition, Ye's, as the not-most-strongest member of Qihai Trading Company, achieved the best results, and the on-site ordering and intention ordering reached an astonishing 14 million taels. Although there are 600 such big heads as clocks of various levels, this result still caused a chilling sound when it was announced at the internal meeting of Qihai Trading Company. But everyone had to accept that not only clocks, but almost all the goods sold by Ye's workshop were unmatched by others.

The members of the exhibition at Jiuzhou Trading Company were excited about the wealth he made in this exhibition, and also realized that the form of the exhibition was powerful, and even realized that Qihai Trading Company could be regarded as far-sighted in absorbing Ye Tao as a member. Just the day before Ye Tao was about to set off to return to Danyang, he became the first person to be a member of the two major commercial groups, Qihai and Jiuzhou, Dongping. Jiuzhou Trading Company, where Tan Weixin was in charge, had a much clearer arrangement for his position than Qihai Trading Company. His position was the "Chief Technology Officer".

Ye Tao stayed in Yicheng and Crescent Island for a total of one and a half months. During these times, he laid a good foundation for the construction and development of Crescent Island with his abundant enthusiasm for work. As for the innovation of the business model of the ordering fair, in Ye Tao's opinion, it was just ordinary.

Originally, Ye Tao wanted to go back to Crescent Island for another half month, and wait until the lighthouse and watchtower were topped off before returning to Danyang, but the letter from Tan Weixin received in Yicheng made Ye Tao feel a little strange. In Tan Weixin's letter, there was no mention of the court's business policies, no mention of her progress in promoting the monetary reform in Dongping, and no mention of any of the chambers of commerce that had nothing to do with Ye Tao. It was just that she would gather the boring children of aristocratic families gathered in Danyang to do dramas.

"Drama?" Ye Tao frowned when he saw the word mentioned in the letter. It is true that Tan Weixin still retains a large amount of petty bourgeois complex, but she is not the one who squanders her energy. Especially her weak body, she always makes her cautiously do only necessary things. Now she is full of everything, so where can she get the energy to play dramas?
