The fabrics and silk fabrics produced by the Annan factory have occupied a certain market share overseas.
Because the quantity is large, the price is not high, and the quality is good, it is sought after by many people.
Sales are not only good in Nanyang, but also in South Asia and the Persian Gulf. Most of the revenue of the Annan factory comes from selling silk fabrics overseas, which can also support the operation of the factory.
"It turns out those pieces of cloth belong to His Highness!"
Yue Changxing said in surprise.
They were secretly glad that they had not taken advantage of those merchant ships, otherwise His Highness would definitely not let them go.
"If His Highness wants to do business, he can use the name of a cloth merchant to contact merchants from several nearby countries and ask them to come to Old Port and trade with His Highness. What does Your Highness think?" Liang Daoming asked.
Hearing this, Zhu Xuan fell silent.
He was thinking, what should he do to maximize his interests in Nanyang?
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Xuan changed his plan and waved: "Hou Xian, bring some of our enamel, pastel and enamel."
Enamel is the common name of cloisonné.
It is also called copper-embedded filigree enamel, or inlaid enamel.
It is now the Hongwu period, and it is still unknown whether there will be another era name named Jingtai in the future. Zhu Xuan did not use the name cloisonne, but instead used the name enamel.
After a while, Hou Xian brought these porcelains from the boat.
"This is……"
Yue Changxing knew very well how popular porcelain was overseas. Seeing these exquisite porcelains with completely different patterns and colors, his eyes widened in surprise.
Ordinary porcelain, blue and white porcelain, etc., overseas people have long been tired of aesthetics.
Yue Changxing believed that porcelain with brighter colors and brighter appearance, such as enamel porcelain, would soon become a trend overseas as long as it was sold. He asked in surprise: "Excuse me, your highness, are these porcelains made by you?"
Zhu Xuan said: "Of course I fired it. I am the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who can do it. When you arrange for people to contact those merchants, bring this kind of porcelain and show them to them. They will come to Old Port immediately."
Yue Changxing believed that Zhu Xuan was right in what he said.
Even he would like to have one or two sets of these porcelains called enamel and pastel for his collection.
Although the people of these overseas island countries are not as wealthy as the Ming Dynasty, there are still many wealthy people among them. When they see enamel colors, they will definitely come to Old Port. They buy porcelain, not necessarily for their own use, but also for resale to other places. For example, sell it to South Asia and other places.
The market for these things can be very broad.
Yue Changxing added: "I will make arrangements later."
Zhu Xuan contacted merchants from other countries and handed them all over to Yue Changxing.
Next, he won't be leaving the Old Port any time soon.
We are also planning to hold an auction in the Old Port to sell porcelain at the auction. The highest bidder will get it, so as to maximize the profits.
Zhu Xuan really no longer pursues the issue of their false accounting.
Just correct it!
They do it just for money. If they are willing to help him do things down-to-earth, Zhu Xuan is willing to take them to make a lot of money and give them a little favor, which is also a way to win over them and help him do things.
After sending Zhu Xuan out of the office, Yue Changxing and the others wiped the sweat from their foreheads and slumped down on the chairs next to them.
Although they can survive, they are still afraid and can feel pressure in front of Zhu Xuan.
Liang Daoming and Shi Jinqing feel very uneasy whenever they think about what happened last year, when Zhu Xuan bombarded Chen Zuyi.
"never mind!"
Yue Changxing said cautiously: "His Highness is not very old, but he can overwhelm us and make us breathless. He is indeed His Majesty's favorite grandson. He has inherited all of His Majesty's strength."
Many years ago, he had been to Yingtian and met Zhu Yuanzhang once. The scene was so solemn and so invisible that he did not dare to straighten up.
Zhu Xuan feels 70% to 80% like Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Xuan went back, he found Xu Miaojin and the others and went to the old port city together to experience the overseas customs here.
In fact, most of these places are similar to Panyu.
Many people here came from Guangdong, such as Liang Daoming, etc. Maybe they couldn't make it in the Ming Dynasty, or maybe for other reasons, they had to go to sea, so they settled here and brought all the things from the Ming Dynasty here.
There are many similarities between here and Daming.
"It turns out that the old ports overseas are not much different from Panyu."
It was Cen Jing's first time to come to this place, and the novelty at the beginning had long since worn off.
Wu Yongfeng is a veteran who goes to sea. He has been to Old Port many times. He smiled and said: "Most of the people here are still our Ming Dynasty people. The difference is not big. Your Highness conquered this place last year and it completely became our Ming Dynasty place." ”
"Is Your Highness really that powerful?"
Cen Hua next to her asked unconvincingly.
Zhu Xuan said: "Of course I am powerful. If you don't believe me, go ask the people in Old Port."
Cen Hua really didn't believe it.
Xu Miaojin echoed: "My younger brother is the most powerful!"
They came out without many people around.
In addition to Hou Xian, there were a few Jinyi guards who were hiding in secret to protect him.
"Brother, where should we go next after we leave Old Port?" Xu Miaojin asked.
"Go west."
Zhu Xuan said: "First go to Tianfang and other places to see, and then continue to the west. If little sister Hua'er can't endure the hardship, she can stay in the old port and wait for us to come back."
Cen Hua pouted her lips and refused to admit defeat: "His Highness can go, I can also endure hardships, and I am not His Highness's little sister."
She is a bit strong and doesn't want to hear others call her little sister, as this will make her look too weak.
But Zhu Xuan just likes to call him that, and Cen Hua has to correct him every time.
"Hua'er, you can't be rude to His Highness."
Cen Jing said in a serious voice.
Cen Hua stopped talking and followed them quietly.
"There are quite a few shops here."
Zhu Xuan looked to both sides of the street.
Wu Yongfeng said: "Many of the shops here are opened by the people of the Ming Dynasty. They came here from Guangdong or Fujian. The shops they opened mainly sell things that are convenient for them and sell them overseas. People in Srivijaya cannot buy so much. However, people from Java, Bali, Manchuria and other countries often come to the old port by boat to trade with them."
From this point of view, the old port has become a trade center in the Southeast Asia region.
"In the past, the sea ban was still there, and many merchants came to the old port secretly. But now it has been relaxed. Your Majesty has abandoned the sea ban. In our Ming Dynasty, the circulation of goods to and from Sriwijaya has become even more prosperous."
Wu Yongfeng added: "I heard that His Highness persuaded His Majesty to abandon the sea ban."
These things have long been spread.
It is normal for Wu Yongfeng to know.
Zhu Xuan didn't say anything. He looked at a relatively large store next to it and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
He also wanted to know what types of goods those merchants sold in the Old Port, besides the three major categories of tea, porcelain and silk, he treated it as market research.
"Wu Yongfeng?"
Just at this moment, a well-dressed man walked out of the shop.
He knew Wu Yongfeng.
