Chapter 295 Yasuda Consortium
"With the experience of imitating celadon porcelain, all single-color glazed porcelain has a foundation. Dingyao white porcelain and Yongzheng lemon yellow can be gradually carried out."

The next step is to start building kilns, especially to study how to control kiln changes, and to build kiln Tianmu.Celadon is only high-end, once Tianmu succeeds, then Little Japan will go crazy!

Go ahead and do it, Wu Tianyuan took out the three Yaobian Tianmu teacups from the museum, carefully inquired about various details, and recorded them no matter how big or small, maybe it was a breakthrough point.

He plans to use Celadon, Jian Kiln and Ding Kiln as the first step to establish the influence of Tianyuanju brand in Japan, which is very difficult.In the past, antiques were used to open the way, and things were rare and expensive, so it was no problem.

Now we are doing business with the Japanese with our own brand, which can be said to be as difficult as ever!Japan is very arrogant in its bones, especially xenophobic, and it is itself a big country of porcelain with a high level.If you use Chinese porcelain to occupy their market, it can be said that you are besieged on all sides and are struggling.

"First research out the best finished products, and then use the Japanese to open up our own market. The Liu family is the first step, and there are also the Yamanaka and Sakamoto families. By the way, Professor Yasuda's background does not seem to be simple!"

Wu Tianyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He had only recently read Antian's investigation materials. He didn't expect that he had a deeper background. It turned out to be...

Wu Tianyuan called An Tian to come to the capital as soon as possible. He wanted to chat face to face and see An Tian in three days.

"Huh? Lord Tianyuan actually knows that I am a descendant of the Antian family?"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Yasuda with a surprised expression, and said with a smile, "Your name is Yasuda? Can I not think of the Yasuda family, one of the four most famous consortiums in Japan?"

"I see!" An Tian nodded, and said with a wry smile: "This is not a secret, nor is it that I deliberately concealed it, the main reason is that I am just a collateral branch of the family, and although I am also surnamed An Tian, ​​I have no qualifications to share family resources. "

"Oh?"

Seeing Wu Tianyuan's curiosity, Yasuda explained: "The chaebol established by Yasuda Zenjiro's generation is centered on banking, trust, and insurance. The Yasuda family was originally a privileged businessman in the Meiji Restoration era. With ten thousand taels of gold as the capital, the Yasuda Bank was opened in Tokyo, and it developed smoothly.”

"In 1879, after Yasuda was approved by the government, he founded the private Yasuda Bank on the basis of a bank, and maintained relations with local national banks such as Fukuoka, Aizuwakamatsu, and Chiba. After the economic crisis in 1897, the bank capital was strengthened and concentrated, and Yasuda Bank became the first bank. , a big bank on a par with Mitsui Bank. At the same time, it is developing into warehouses, hemp, railways, insurance and other industries.”

Yasuda took a sip of tea and continued: "In 1921, Yasuda Zenjiro was assassinated and died suddenly. At the same time, he encountered the post-war economic crisis, so he hired the Bank of Japan director Yuki Toyotaro as the executive director of Hozensha. He is determined to carry out a large-scale merger of the banks in this system. .In 1923, Yasuda Bank, the country's largest ordinary bank with 210 stores, was established, forming a financial-centered chaebol."

"Actually, the Yasuda Foundation was formally established in 1966 and is currently composed of about 30 large family businesses. The Japanese call Mount Fuji the "Peak of Furong", so the Fuji Foundation is also called the Furong Foundation."

"The consortium has great influence in various important fields such as manufacturing, commerce and finance in Japan. Its core companies include Fuji Bank, Nissan Motor, Nippon Steel Corporation, Sapporo Beer, Hitachi, Marubeni, Canon, and Japan's largest manufacturer of bearings. Japan's Seiko and the largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery, Kubota, etc. Marubeni Trading Company, which started in the textile industry, is a large comprehensive trading company in Japan and one of the largest trading companies in the world. The manager association of the Fuji Foundation is called "Furong Club""

"Later, the Furong Association took Fuji Bank as the core and jointly invested and established enterprises such as the Research Center for Small and Medium Enterprises, Furong Aviation Services, Furong Comprehensive Leasing, Furong Ocean Development, Furong Information Center, and Furong Petroleum Development. Now it has become the third largest consortium in Japan. , only in the Mitsui consortium and the Sumitomo consortium.”

After hearing this, Wu Tianyuan asked with great interest: "That is to say, the largest trade in Japan is controlled by your Yasuda family?"

"It can be said so!" Yasuda admitted: "Although the Mitsui consortium claims to monopolize all fields in Japan from eggs to atomic bombs, in fact many fields are still divided up by the three consortiums. Especially in trade, the Yasuda family has been cultivating for more than 100 years. No matter the brand or Brick-and-mortar stores are way ahead, there’s no doubt about that.”

"That is to say, if I want to enter the Japanese high-end porcelain market, the Yasuda family is the best partner?"

An Tian was taken aback, and asked in disbelief, "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

Wu Tianyuan smiled slightly, and took out a set of four high imitation celadon tea sets for Yasuda to have a look at.

"This is?" An Tian's eyes lit up. As a great connoisseur, he naturally knew how to appreciate porcelain, and he couldn't put it down. When he saw the bottom price, he suddenly turned pale with shock, "Tianyuantang?"

Wu Tianyuan said proudly: "Yes, this is the latest antique Longquan celadon from my Tianyuan Hall, how about it?"

Yasuda appraised it carefully excitedly, and it took a while to sigh: "It's too shocking, I didn't expect the Chinese antique technology to reach such a level? If it weren't for the base payment, I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference!"

"How? Can this set of tea sets be used as a certificate of cooperation with your Yasuda family?"

"Of course!" Yasuda put down the celadon carefully, and said seriously: "The Japanese admire porcelain and tea ceremony the most, especially celadon. A set of slightly higher-grade celadon tea sets cost at least hundreds of thousands of yen. A must-have welcome. Not to mention such high-quality antique porcelain, it's simply stunning!"

"However..." An Tian hesitated and said: "To tell you the truth, Tianyuan Lord, it seems that you have mastered the secret recipe of imitating celadon, and with your reputation and status today, you are absolutely qualified to cooperate with the An Tian family. But my identity is not enough, You still need to find someone with more power to negotiate."

"Need not!"

Wu Tianyuan shook his head, and said firmly: "Mr. Antian is underestimating me, Wu Tianyuan! We are old friends. I don't care what your status is in the so-called Antian family. I value your level and connections. To put it bluntly , even a prodigal son like Hiroaki Yamanaka, I can be promoted to the position of Patriarch, doesn't Professor Yasuda have any ideas?"

"Really?" An Tian stood up excitedly, staring at Wu Tianyuan with hot eyes and said: "Tianyuan Lord, are you serious?"

"I am very nostalgic, Yasuda-kun is the first Japanese I have worked with, I believe in you!"

After hearing Wu Tianyuan's assurance, An Tian thanked Dade and said: "Okay, since Lord Tian Yuan thinks highly of me, An Tian, ​​then there is nothing else to say, I will represent you to negotiate with the An Tian family! We will definitely win the best interests!"

Wu Tianyuan is quite satisfied with Yasuda's methods, after all, he has status in the antique circle, and it is very suitable for his future antique high-end porcelain to enter Japan through him.Once the Yasuda family agrees to cooperate, they can instantly enter the Japanese market.

Then join forces with the Yamanaka family and the Sakamoto family to raise the price, and finally let Liu Huasheng and Kazama as master figures to enhance the added value of the brand, and it is best to become the Japanese imperial porcelain!
An Tian happily left with a set of celadon, and went back to open up family relations. Wu Tianyuan did not believe that he had no ambitions for the family.With such a huge benefit, who can not be tempted?

In the past, Yasuda suffered from lack of strength and opportunities. Now that he has his own support, he will definitely strive for more resources and rights.Another benefit of a big family is that those who can live in it!As long as you have the ability, you will have a corresponding status.What's more, Yasuda himself is a member of the family, so it is easier to gain trust.
