Chapter 2124 It's time to show the industrial strength of Daming
Wangyue Tower in Beijing.
Today, Wangyue Tower was taken over by the Ming Dynasty. It was obvious that something big was going to happen.
The people who were invited by the imperial court paid great attention to them. They started preparing early. They wore decent clothes, got in the best car at home, and arrived at Wangyue Tower early.
The same goes for Duan Hai, the director of the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory. When he received the invitation, he thought it was a fake. After repeated confirmations, he dared to believe it, and then he hurriedly prepared.
Not only did he get a new haircut, he even went to buy a brand new outfit. Since the Ming Dynasty is the host and invites everyone to Wangyue Tower, there must be something for everyone to do.
Although I don't know if there are any benefits to being able to do things for the imperial court, it is definitely a major event that must be taken seriously.
Before coming, he also tried every means to confirm with Liu Jin that it was a good thing and not a bad thing, which made Duan Hai even more relieved.
When Duan Hai arrived, he discovered that Wangyue Tower was already home to many well-known Ming Dynasty factories, business owners, and presidents.
For example, Director Li of Daming Watch Factory, Manager Qian of Daming Electrical Company, Director Wang of Caiyun Textile Factory, Director Yang of Jingcheng Machinery Factory, Director Zhang of Miyun Iron Works, and the sales general manager of the South African Gramophone Factory in the Beijing-Tianjin area.
Manager, manager, etc.
We are all industry representatives in various fields, leaders in each field, and leaders in each field.
"Old Duan~"
When everyone saw Duan Hai arriving, they all came forward and said hello with a smile.
"Old Li~"
"Old Wang~"
"Lao Yang~"
When Duan Hai saw many of them were acquaintances, he quickly said hello with a smile.
If you take a closer look, you will be surprised to find that many fields here are actually industries under Liu Jin's command. Everyone is familiar with them. Many of them were colleagues before, so they are all familiar with them.
"Old Duan, have you asked Mr. Liu what the reason for calling this big guy here is?"
Director Li from the Daming Watch Factory pulled Duan Hai over and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Mr. Liu didn't even say hello to us in advance. I have no idea at all."
Manager Qian of Daming Electrical Trading Company also said quickly.
Everyone is under Liu Jin's command. They help manage Liu Gong's property and are all acquaintances.
"I don't know either, but I also asked people to go to Liu Gong to inquire about it. Liu Gong said it is a good thing!"
Duan Hai said softly.
"As long as it's a good thing, it's okay as long as it's a good thing."
When everyone heard this, they all felt relieved.
Since Liu Jin said it was a good thing, it must be a good thing.
Soon the appointed time came, and Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, and Li Kun also arrived at Wangyue Tower by car.
When everyone saw that the three elders of the court had arrived, they immediately rushed forward to greet them.
"Mr. Liu~"
"Prince~"
"Mr. Li!"
"Well, hello everyone, hello everyone!"
Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and Li Kun also smiled and nodded with everyone.
Soon, everyone entered Wangyue Tower and sat down one after another. Naturally, they were not in the mood to eat. For everyone present, this meal was too much for them, and everyone was more concerned about what happened this time.
"Everyone~"
"I have called everyone here today because I have something to discuss with you."
Liu Jin stood up, and everyone immediately became quiet and looked over.
"As you all know, these days are important days for the emperor's enthronement ceremony. All nations have come to court, from all regions of the world, and envoys from various countries have also presented generous gifts to His Majesty."
"We have been a country of etiquette since ancient times. We pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. Naturally, we have to return gifts to the countries that come to Korea."
As soon as everyone heard Liu Jin's words, they immediately understood the purpose and intention of Liu Jin calling everyone here. This was basically to ask everyone to help produce some products as a return gift.
"Originally, according to past practice, my Ming Dynasty's return gift will naturally be mainly gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin."
"But this time, the emperor felt that such a gift in return could not truly show the world the power of our Ming Empire, so he thought of giving back some of our Ming Dynasty's industrial products to show the power of our Ming Dynasty."
"This is also the main reason why I called everyone here."
"This time, taking advantage of the important moment of the coronation ceremony, major manufacturers started to produce some commemorative products."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]
"For example, the Mercedes-Benz automobile factory will produce a batch of commemorative cars and bring them back to the envoys from various countries. This will not only show the grace of our Ming Dynasty, but also showcase our Ming Empire's automobile industry to the world.
Invisibly, it is equivalent to advertising to the whole world."
"For another example, the watch factory can specially customize a batch of commemorative watches, pocket watches, clocks and so on. When the time comes to participate in this time-sharing event in various countries, we can take them back. This can also be used to promote our Seiko watches from the Ming Dynasty."
"The steel factory can forge a batch of fine swords to promote our Ming Dynasty's steel strength."
When everyone heard Liu Jin's words, their eyes suddenly lit up slightly.
This is really a good thing.
This is equivalent to sending their products as gifts to various countries around the world. This is a kind of publicity for their products invisibly.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime advertising opportunity.
Although the manufacturers Liu Jin found this time were all leaders in the fields of various countries in the Ming Dynasty, their own brands and reputations were already very loud.
But of course everyone wouldn't mind the opportunity to appear on such an important occasion, and have their products become important gifts to ambassadors from various countries. This is a supreme honor, and it's also a kind of recognition.
Not only is it helpful to sell their products all over the world, but even in Daming, they can use this to promote their products, improve their quality, and sell better.
"Of course, the imperial court will not let everyone's work go in vain. The imperial household department purchases all products at market prices, but this time the time is relatively short, so we did not think of this in advance so that everyone can be prepared. It is necessary
Everyone has been working overtime these days to rush it out."
"If you have any difficulties, you don't have to accept it, and we won't force you. What do you think?"
Liu Jin said to everyone with a smile.
With the development of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty, the industrial production capacity has become very strong, and has even begun to produce surpluses.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, I naturally have the obligation and responsibility to solve this problem and find ways to open more markets and promote sales. This is one way.
At such an important moment, the Ming Empire responded with these industrial products.
For the Ming Empire, industrial products are not valuable in the first place. They can be produced continuously without causing the loss of wealth. It is not like the previous burden is too heavy and cannot be maintained. It can only increase the number of vassal countries.
Pay tribute every few years.
The second and most important thing is to promote the products of the Ming Empire. These products are sent out as gifts in return and will inevitably reach the hands of kings and nobles from all over the world.
When they use these products, they will naturally drive more nobles and wealthy people to use and buy Ming products.
Invisibly, you can advertise Daming's products, open up sales, and sell better.
Of course, it also has another function, which is to position these products of Daming as high-end and high-end products.
After all, if it can be used as a gift to various countries, it must be of good quality and high-end. The quality is completely different.
Just like a tribute, something that can be offered as tribute to the emperor is definitely the best thing. There is no need to doubt this. Just by saying the word "tribute", everyone knows that the quality of this product must be excellent.
Of course, this is a marketing tool in later generations, but in this era, no one dares to use this as a marketing tool easily, unless they are tired of living.
This method was a very common phenomenon in later generations.
Like the Queen of England in later generations, she always rides a Rolls-Royce when going out. No matter what car she rides, it is the same to her, but it is an advertisement for her country's cars, letting people all over the world know about Rolls-Royce.
Lexus is the absolute king of cars.
"Mr. Liu, of course there is no problem. Our Mercedes-Benz car factory will design and manufacture the best car overnight."
Duan Hai was the first to stand up and said there was no problem at all.
"Yes, Mr. Liu!"
"This is a time for us to gain face. No matter what, we will definitely not delay the important affairs of the court and handle this matter beautifully."
Director Li of the clock factory also said quickly.
"Yes, yes, I would also like to thank the emperor, the court, and Mr. Liu for giving us such an opportunity to show ourselves."
"We must complete the task on time and with quality, and do it beautifully so that we can show face when we take it out."
"Great, this is a supreme honor, we will definitely do it beautifully."
Others also expressed their opinions one after another. Such a great opportunity to show their faces must not be missed. No matter how many problems there are, they must be solved and handled beautifully.
"Haha, that's good, that's good, I'm here to thank you all."
After hearing this, Liu Jin smiled happily and expressed his gratitude.
The Ming Empire can no longer rely on silk, porcelain, and tea to conquer the world as before. Now the Ming Dynasty has strong industrial strength and strong scientific and technological strength, so it should be demonstrated in this aspect.
Cars, clocks, motorcycles, bicycles, gramophones, electrical appliances, etc. These are all products that can demonstrate the industrial and technological strength of Ming Dynasty, so they should be displayed in greater numbers.
