Chapter 917

"Of course, I'm not a craftsman! I tell you, this is done by an employee I hired. Their family has been doing this for generations. His father gave me a carving, and he carved it for me from generation to generation. We have a good cooperation! You see, my shop is not very good, but there are so many repeat customers that they come for his craftsmanship! "

"What's more, the craftsman of our family is very stubborn. He never carves the second one of the same things. It's hard to persuade him."

Jiang Chen nods. He Xiu also picks a jade pendant. Jiang Chen takes it and pays for it.

"You two * have good eyes. The prices of these two jade pendants are almost the same. Add them together and I'll charge you 108800. If you come back to Honduras for a tour, or if you have friends, please recommend my shop!"

The boss can talk. In fact, these two objects are expensive because of the carving technique. The jade material itself is not worth much money. The money is not easy to earn. But the boss just said that you took advantage of him, so you can't find fault.

"The price is not too high. I can accept it, but I have one more condition. I hope the boss will agree."

"Ah? You are a big boss. I'm a small business man. I may not be able to help you. Just tell me. "

"No one can help me except you. I'd like to meet the sculptor."

"Hey, I thought it was something difficult. You wait for me to call for it now!"

The fat boss put down what he had in his hand, pulled back the curtain of the door, and called out a local dialect outside. The people inside seemed very impatient and replied something. The fat boss said two more words, and then heard a rustling voice inside.

More than a minute later, a young man with a blue leather apron stood in front of Jiang Chen. He had a lot of stone dust on his body and a cigarette in his ear. He looked a bit bohemian. He should be over 30 years old. His hair was blowing in front of his eyes. He tilted his head and asked, "what do you want me for? Is there something wrong with the jade? "

Jiang Chen repeatedly waved his hand, "no problem, I just want to see the skillful master. What's your name?"

"Liu Qingxuan."

"Oh, nice to meet you. My name is Jiang."

After Jiang Chen introduced himself, he picked up his things with a smile and left with two people. He didn't say much. But the fat boss was a little uncomfortable. He didn't react just now. Shouldn't he come to dig his own master?

Don't mention the fat boss. Liu Qingxuan himself is at a loss. He doesn't want to know what the owner's surname is. Why bother? Probably a strange person.

After Jiang Chen left, He Yi couldn't help asking curiously, "in order to meet this master, you're throwing a lot of money. It's really a loss!"

Jiang Chen said with a smile, "there's a teahouse on the opposite side. Let's go and have a seat there. After this man comes out, I want to talk to him."

It was nearly 7 o'clock in the evening, but Jiang Chen still had to wait for more than an hour before Liu Qingxuan finished work. He went to the snack stand and ordered a bowl of wonton by himself. Just as he was about to take a bite, there was suddenly another person in front of him.

In order to be kind, Jiang Chen still has a smile on his face, but this smile scares Liu Qingxuan. He is a down-to-earth craftsman. He has been staying in the studio behind, rarely seeing people. Today, Jiang Chen's performance is just a strange person among the strange people.

"What do you want to do

"Don't be nervous, little brother. I just love money. I went shopping in the shop today and I think your craftsmanship is really good. I want to talk about cooperation with you."

"No cooperation. I'll be fine here."

"Don't worry about replying. I haven't said my conditions yet. Don't you think that a craftsman like you is a talent in such a small place? It's a pity that no one will appreciate your beautiful works. Moreover, according to my estimation, the share given to you by the boss is not much. The two things I bought today cost more than 100000 yuan. How much can you get? "

Don't say that. Actually speaking of Liu Qingxuan's heart, Jiang Chen said that he spent more than 100000 yuan on the two things today, but in the end, Liu Qingxuan was paid a dead salary of 30000 yuan a month. No matter how many things he sold, it had nothing to do with him. He was only responsible for doing them.

This money is more than enough to support his family, but there will be imbalance in his mind. He can work overtime a month and drive out four things. The total value of these four things is usually about 300000 yuan. But in the end, he only gets 1 / 10 of the total value. He really loses a lot and feels that his talent has been wasted.

Jiang Chen saw that Liu Qingxuan was moved, and immediately invited people to a luxury restaurant nearby to invite him to dinner.

"Do you drink?"

"If you don't drink, your hands will shake when you drink."

I have to say that although Liu Qingxuan looks like a bad young man, he is very down-to-earth. The more Jiang Chenyue sees it, the more he likes it. There are fewer people who are so self disciplined!Although can not drink, but also does not delay Jiang Chen to talk about business, during the dinner he said his own idea.

Liu Qingxuan was eating and listening. When he heard that Jiang Chen would let people learn from him and make him a master, his eyes lit up in an instant.

"Brother, you are really talking about my heart. My family has been doing this for generations, but when I came to my side, a girl was born, and the little girl was not interested in it at all, and there was no successor. If possible, I would like to pass on the good craftsmanship and not let it rot in my life."

"That's very good. I can't guarantee anything else. But I have a lot of students who are willing to learn from heart. You can not only make more money when you take them, but also let the craft pass on. What do you think?"

"However, I probably know the market situation. Now there are fewer and fewer people willing to work in this industry, especially those who are willing to learn from their heart. People now use machines to polish them, so we don't need craftsmen like us. You are likely to lose money."

"As long as I'm here, there will be no loss in the world. As long as you help me with my apprentice, I will definitely make you both fame and wealth! No matter how good the machine is, no one can make it beautiful in terms of technology. Blindly copying is not necessarily a good thing. Rich people like unique things. "

"What's more, I'm here to buy more jades and Jadeites. When the time comes, I'll open a new base to sell the finished products of carving, so that these jades can be used. Don't turn them into tools for guessing puzzles. All the jades in the base will be carved by hand and come from your apprentices. Let's promote jade culture and make the industry bigger and stronger It's a glorious family, isn't it

Liu Qingxuan raised his head and seemed to be making sure that Jiang Chen was joking with him. "You really didn't tease me. Do you have such a big ability? If you want to invest in such a base, it will cost tens of millions if you want to run a school? And it may not be able to return to the original, are you sure you have thought it over? "
