"Exceptor Fan, you've come at the right time. The palace's new enamel factory in Miyun has also started shipping. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of goods have been shipped to the port this time. The goods that just arrived the day before yesterday, hurry up when you're done.
You should be able to make a lot of money if you go to Dingding.”
"Goods from the new factory? Can the goods from the new factory be made from the old factory? Don't let these be all discarded goods! The things used in the south are very particular, and it is not easy to get rid of the discarded goods." When buying goods, merchants have to check the quality of the goods, especially in the south.
In such a wealthy place, ordinary people are very particular about daily utensils, unlike in the north, where it is enough to have something that works.
"You can rest assured that the director of the new factory in Miyun is Liu Dachang, the serious founder of the old factory. His experience in making enamel is unmatched by others. I will let you know quietly. The products of the new factory are really better than those of the old factory.
, and there are many new styles that old factories can’t make!”
"The items in Miyun Factory are the kilns supervised by Eunuch Liu? Don't worry. Eunuch Liu is a great expert in making landscape porcelain. When I was in the south, I heard porcelain makers say that the landscape porcelain supervised by Eunuch Liu
Even the best craftsmen in the south cannot make thin tires. With him at the Miyun Porcelain Factory, the products produced will definitely be good."
Because of the popularity of enamel products, Liu Dachang also took advantage of it and became a celebrity in the industry. Many people gave him the credit for making thin-tired iron enamel. This was a huge misunderstanding. Liu Dachang's only contribution to iron-tired enamel
Contribution, that is, he became the person in charge of the first large-scale enamel production factory in the Ming Dynasty through bad luck. The idea and process of making this thing were conceived by the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youjian, and the craftsmanship was perfected by the tribute porcelain kiln. Now the
It was completed jointly by the Tiangong Bureau and the iron factory craftsmen. In the end, Liu Dachang became the biggest beneficiary. How can I explain this!
The late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty were the earliest times when famous brand products were produced in China, and some brand names even spread to later generations. Most of the brands in this era were named after people, which was basically the same as the Western luxury brands in later generations. However, many domestic brands like this
The name has been passed down through successive social upheavals. Liu Dachang is now a major brand of enamel products, and businessmen recognize his name.
After chatting for a few words with the officials from the Customs Department who inspected the cargo on merchant ships, and getting a general understanding of the current situation at the port, Fan Yiwei took the receipt and hurried to the Customs Department Yamen to handle other procedures.
After completing the formalities, the official inside asked him to come and collect the final flower tickets tomorrow. Fan Yiwei walked to the grain trading hall next to the Yamen, thinking to see if he could sell the grain first. The grain was the one he went north this time.
The biggest cargo to be transported can be used to free up capital first by selling the grain.
As soon as he entered the trading hall, Fan Yiwei was shocked by the strong business atmosphere inside.
A small restaurant actually has signs for dozens of food stores, including a large food store that I have heard of.
Seeing Fan Yiwei come in, clerks from several grain accounts gathered around him, asking him if he had any grain to sell, and quoted the price of their own grain accounts.
After listening to the receiving prices of several grain accounts, Fan Yiwei had an idea in his mind. This time he transported more than five hundred stones of grain. According to the current market situation, it is not a problem to make a hundred and ten taels of silver.
He actually doesn't care much about how much money he can make from grain. What really makes money is the goods shipped from South China. The grain is mainly for duty-free entry into the port. It would be best if he can earn money for travel expenses by the way.
"Fan Dongjia, our Hengyuan Bank has received all of your five hundred stones of grain. We will sign the order contract right now and we will start shipping the goods tomorrow after all the customs procedures are completed." Finally, I chose a company with a reasonable price, and I
A large trading house that I had heard of before sold all five hundred stones of grain to his family. Fan Yiwei felt relaxed instantly. It was a rare good thing to be able to sell the goods so quickly even though he couldn't get the order from the palace.
After signing the order contract and taking the deposit, Fan Yiwei originally thought about leaving this trading hall, going elsewhere, and then going to his regular customers in the city to sell other southern goods shipped this time as soon as possible. But
But the shopkeeper of the grain store spoke again: "Fan Dong's family, stay! I guess your ship is carrying more than just grain this time, right? If Fan Dong's ship has other southern goods, please give some to our merchant house.
"
"Counter, is it possible that in addition to grain, your company also deals in other southern goods?"
"It's natural! Our Hengyuan ship also runs a southern goods store in Beijing. To be honest, business in Beijing is going well this year, but our ship's supply is a bit tight. If Fan Dong's family doesn't give up, please take good care of our ship.
Business. We are a large company with a large purchase volume. Cooperation between our two companies will be beneficial to both parties."
Hengyuan Company is indeed a big company. Can it be an ordinary shop that can open a grain store in the capital? Without a backer and capital, who can do such a business in the capital? In the past, Hengyuan Company’s main purchasing channel was the canal line. In the first half of this year,
The line on the canal side was cut off in 2008, and Tianjin happened to be open, so they came over to try their luck under the organization of Shuntian Prefecture.
I couldn't stop trying my luck. The goods shipped by sea were not only cheap but also large in quantity. The ships brought by other maritime merchants could haul hundreds of thousands of tons of goods at a time, which was not like the flat boats on the canal. It took a lot of effort.
Only a small amount of goods were shipped.
This year's market is also very good. Due to the large-scale factory affairs in the palace and the timely salary payment of officials in the capital, the city's consumer market has ushered in the biggest explosion in the past few years. All kinds of consumer goods are selling very fast.
This also gives various commercial banks the motivation to explore new purchase channels.
I visited the grain trading hall and found buyers for most of the cargo I brought. When Fan Yiwei walked out of this small hall, he turned back to take a look at this place. It’s a great place.
Ah! With such a good place to do business, you have to make several trips to Tianjin Port. Although you will be charged a 10% tax when purchasing goods at this port, what is the delay? The main goods purchased in Tianjin are
It's Jingci. It's convenient to enter the port. The 10% tax is added to the next house if it is shipped to the south. Because of the advantage of being able to sell the goods immediately, Tianjin Port is the most coveted place for businessmen.
Is it possible to have such convenience by going to a common smuggling black port?
It is convenient to ship goods, and merchants can make more trips to make more money. It would be better if there were such convenient ports in the south.
After leaving the port area, Fan Yiwei quickly hired a carriage and headed for Tianjin City! He had several good customers in Tianjin City. If it weren't for maintaining the relationship with these regular customers, he could have sold all the goods at the Grain Trading Hall.
Hengyuan.
New channels need to be opened up, and old customers have to be maintained. Fan Yiwei doesn't want to give up on either side. That's how businessmen are. He won't miss a cent of the money he can make. If he can negotiate well with old customers after entering the city, Fan Yiwei is ready to quickly sell these batches of goods.
After all the goods were sold, I bought a batch of enamel and immediately returned to Songjiang. Taking advantage of this year's good market, I made more trips to Tianjin's trade routes. This way, I can make a lot of money.
