In the concession area of Wu capital, the cherry blossom brand silk produced by RuiFeng Silk Factory of Japan once received the commendation from the Japanese emperor. He also presented a tiger-head precious sword to show his reward.
Jiangnan Silk Factory is an old factory operated by the Gu family. The plum blossom brand silk produced by Jiangnan Silk Factory was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi granted the "Three Treasures of Jade Silkworm" (a piece of top grade jade carving) she played with to the Gu family. Since then, the "Three Treasures of Jade Silkworm" has become the main treasure of the Gu family.
The "plum blossom brand" silk occupies the international market for its credit and quality. The "cherry blossom brand" silk is declining day by day, which angered the Japanese emperor, who ordered consul Kangcun Gou to reverse the situation.
