Era: Village bully, so what if he can't get a wife?

The white porcelain ceramics counter in a state-owned department store!

Raymond Lam, relying on his handsome looks, is having a passionate affair with a 200-pound female salesperson.

"Xiao Juan! Your porcelain ware is so white! But it's just too expensive!"

The saleswoman named Xiao Juan stared at the handsome Lin Feng, her smile radiant.

"Hey! Brother Feng, white porcelain is in high demand right now, it's selling really well."

"There's just too little stock, so we have to sell it at a high price."

"Look at this white bowl, isn't it as white as me? It costs one yuan and fifty cents each, and the supply can't keep up with the demand."

After saying that, she twisted the bucket's waist and pulled down her collar to attract Lin Feng's attention.

"Brother Feng, if you want some, I'll give you a few. That way, every time you see a big white bowl, you'll think of me."

Looking at Xiao Juan's chubby face with its unyielding blush, Lin Feng really wanted to turn around and run away. He decided not to build the kiln and not to fire any more white porcelain.

Being fat isn't a sin, but don't put on makeup like a paper doll! It's terrifying!

He was really going all out to get some information.

Lin Xi and Lin Dong, who were standing behind him, were suppressing their laughter, their faces full of admiration!

"Xiao Juan, white porcelain sells so well, why don't you stock up more!"

"It's not that we don't want to order more goods, it's that we don't have the quota."

"There are no porcelain kilns around here, so we have to go to Haicheng or even further away to buy them."

"But it doesn't happen every time; the good white porcelain is all taken out to exchange for foreign exchange."

"We only get to produce surplus or slightly flawed items."

"If our purchasing manager didn't know someone, we wouldn't even have this much white porcelain."

"Those supply and marketing cooperatives are even fewer; they basically have no stock, and you can only get it through connections."

......

"If it were Brother Feng, you would..."

Before he could finish speaking, a chubby hand grabbed Lin Feng's arm, its eyes filled with greasy temptation.

Lin Feng recoiled as if he'd been electrocuted, gave an awkward laugh, and turned to run away.

"Xiao Juan! I'm going to throw up for a bit. Don't move, or you'll get thinner from exhaustion!"

"Hey! Brother Feng, don't run away! Next time you come, I'll save you a whole set of white porcelain!"

Xiao Juan's shouts made Lin Feng run even faster.

He was frustrated being a bully; he used to be the one harassing others.

Unexpectedly, one day, for the sake of a small business, he was harassed by someone and turned against Tian Gang.

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after running out of the state-run department store in one breath.

Lin Xi and Lin Dong followed behind, trying to suppress their laughter. Their faces were flushed and they were struggling to hold it in.

Lin Feng turned around and kicked each of them in the buttocks.

He said fiercely, "Don't speak! Don't laugh!"

"If anyone dares to mention it again, I'll break their legs!"

"Yes, Brother Feng!"

"Okay, Brother Feng!"

"Ha ha!"

"hehe!"

The two agreed readily, but couldn't help themselves and burst out laughing!

"Holy shit!"

Lin Feng flew into a rage and started punching the two of them repeatedly.

This was a good result; Raymond Lam's efforts paid off.

Lin Feng knew beforehand that in this era, white porcelain and meat were hard currency.

But to his surprise, the actual situation was even more ideal than he had imagined.

After an hour-long in-depth conversation with Xiaojuan, plus fragmented memories from later generations.

Lin Feng already had a clear idea of ​​what was going on and a preliminary sales plan.

In the 80s, white porcelain, especially exquisite pieces with floral designs or complete sets, was a highly sought-after luxury item.

State-run department stores, People's Department Stores, and supply and marketing cooperatives not only lacked goods, but were in high demand and short supply, with long queues and connections required to purchase them.

There are many specific reasons for the market shortage, but the most important ones are raw materials and sales methods.

In terms of raw materials, kaolin is not available everywhere; it is geographically limited.

Coal is in extremely short supply; you have to pull strings to buy high-quality coal!

Controlling glazes is also a major challenge.

Without these raw materials, it is impossible to produce good white porcelain.

Low production volume and low production efficiency will lead to market shortages.

Furthermore, prioritizing export earnings is another key factor contributing to market scarcity!

At that time, the vast majority of white porcelain produced by the state-owned white porcelain factory was allocated for export to earn foreign exchange!

In those days, the government also faced difficulties, and it used every means to generate foreign exchange to alleviate the pressure of foreign blockade.

However, white porcelain is a very popular product abroad!

Finally, only the defective or second-grade products left over from the white porcelain factory will enter the domestic market.

Even so, the good second-class goods couldn't be displayed on the counters; the department store's internal staff would prioritize keeping them for internal consumption.

It can be given to family members, or as a gift or a favor...

The counter usually only has a small number of coarse porcelain bowls and large porcelain basins. The coarse texture is not attractive, but the supply still cannot meet the demand.

81 was a peak year for weddings. In addition to the "three turns, one sound, and one click" (referring to a traditional Chinese wedding accessory), a set of white porcelain tableware was also an essential item for weddings, as it was a matter of face and a hard requirement.

Of course, white porcelain is also the most popular welfare item for government agencies during holidays and festivals.

The demand for white porcelain is also considerable in various unit canteens, as well as for gifts at commendation ceremonies, housewarming gifts, asking for favors, and making money on the black market... etc. It's all a necessity.

Lin Feng already had a sales plan in mind: to diversify his approach.

First, state-run stores and department stores must stock the goods!

Second, find someone to open a white porcelain specialty store in the city.

Third, it allows the black marketeer to put some of their stock on the black market, where they can sell it for a high price.

Of course, the optimal solution is export trade, which allows you to sell at a high price and still achieve high sales volume.

However, it is too difficult for a village-run white porcelain factory to achieve foreign trade exports.

Not only do you have to be affiliated with a state-owned foreign trade company, but you also have to go through layers of review, with so many management departments that it's enough to make your scalp tingle.

After thinking it over, Lin Feng decided to give up on this path.

Let's open up the market in the surrounding cities first.

At this moment, the three of them were driving a donkey cart, carrying rice, flour, and cooking oil, heading towards a remote mountain village.

Lin Xi glanced at Lin Feng and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, are those machines used for firing white porcelain?"

"You even went to the state-run store specifically to ask about white porcelain!"

"But aren't we going to make red bricks?"

Hearing Lin Xi's question, Lin Feng squinted, basking in the sun, and lazily replied as the donkey cart swayed along.

"Firing red bricks and firing pottery and white porcelain are all the same thing!"

"Just set it on fire! Burn whatever you want!"

"Red bricks only sell for a few dollars. Look at the white porcelain in state-run stores, it's a crudely made second-rate product. A bowl can sell for more than a dollar."

"I burn over a thousand items a day, that must cost a fortune!"

"One day is enough for you to marry three wives."

Lin Xi and Lin Dong exchanged a glance; even if they were fools, they felt it wasn't the same thing.

"Brother Feng, don't rush to marry three wives in one day. I think if firing bricks and firing white porcelain are the same, why is there not a single white porcelain kiln in our county?"

"Yeah, Brother Feng, we can't even make bricks properly, let alone porcelain. It's not the same thing!"

......

"You know nothing! I'm just stating a fact!"

"I'll not only fire bricks and porcelain! I'll also fire special ceramic tiles to cover the pyramids!"

"Don't talk to me, you're disturbing my sleep. Wake me up when we get to the village."

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. Damn it, from top to bottom, from relatives to enemies, from friends to adversaries, from the village to the city, not a single person believed him.

Both openly and secretly, everyone is watching him suffer a complete defeat and making a fool of himself.

I'm not going to explain anymore!

We'll see whose face gets swollen from the beating then.
