Chapter 98 Yangzhou Carver
Chapter 98 Yangzhou carving workers
After leaving Fahrenheit Jewelry, both of them felt a little depressed. Ye Xin didn't even know when Tang Han quietly let her go. Ye Xin felt even more depressed. She didn't care about Tang Han's wishes and drove him all the way to Shuyi's gym.
Tang Han had no objection. When he saw Hua Biao, he felt so angry that he needed to release it.
In the gym, Ye Xin pulled Tang Han and chose to practice boxing. The coach next to him was used to it. He was so accustomed to this person who was in society, so how could he not be angry? Especially some professional white-collar workers often regard sandbags as their imaginary enemies to vent their dissatisfaction.
Ye Xin is not the first time, she beat the sandbag hard, as if that was Qin Feng and Huabiao who mocked her.
Although this is the first time Tang Han has worked hard and has decided to do something well and not let those people look at people in the cracks!
The two of them sweated heavily and exercised hard for a while, and then they felt better.
After venting the unhappiness in his heart, the two fell in the rest area exhausted. After talking about some ideas, Tang Han saw that it was getting late outside. He thought that he had to pick up Qin Yue, so he asked Ye Xin to go back and have a good rest by himself and just look open.
Ye Xin also surprisingly did not object, but just looked at Tang Han meaningfully for a long time.
It was almost dark when it arrived at Xiangrui Jade Xingtian. Qin Yue was standing at the door and was waiting for her. When she saw Tang Han, she immediately pouted and complained, "My brother has been there for so long and has not called him. She thought he wouldn't come back tonight!"
"Little girl, what are you thinking about?" Tang Han found it funny. This little girl's thoughts were really strange.
"It's not there!" Qin Yue pouted even higher, holding Tang Han's hand, he refused to let go, and Tang Han let her do whatever she wants. I remember that Dayu said thousands of years ago, "It's better to be loose than to block."
"Grandpa Zhuo's construction has been completed, let's go in and take a look! He also said that he could take it out tomorrow to find someone to process it." Qin Yue didn't bother him much and continued to talk about the main business.
Tang Han heard it, so fast! Mr. Zhuo is indeed not ordinary. Unfortunately, he is alone, and it is far from enough. It is unrealistic to give him all the craftsmanship. Money is not a problem. It is already very disappointing to take up his time to help design Tang Han.
"Brother, in the afternoon, I also learned the design of this with Grandpa Zhuo and cut it for a while." Qin Yue raised her little head, full of pride.
"Little girl, you started to be naughty when I was not here!" Seeing Qin Yue's joy, Tang Han really felt that it was so good to be young. A carefree life like Qin Yue is also what everyone yearns for.
"Where is it? Grandpa Zhuo saw that I was bored and asked me to do it." Qin Yue Liubo's eyes crossed Tang Han, and his little mouth was almost upset, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Tang Han's words.
Tang Han laughed, which made Qin Yue playful again.
When he arrived at the back hall of Xiangrui Jade House, Mr. Zhuo was still busy. The twenty-kilogram piece of jade had been cut into many pieces by Mr. Zhuo, and the design was full of design drawings. Tang Han took it casually and saw that the green and thick place was designed as an egg-face ring, or the ring shape of the bracelet was drawn. Even the middle of the bracelet was painted and marked, whether it was made of necklace beads or rings, or paired beads.
After drawing the design drawings, Mr. Zhuo’s current job is to cut out these bracelets and the like. The bracelets, ring faces and floral materials have been cut next to it.
Tang Han picked up a raw ring bracelet. Although the green bracelet has not been processed at all, it is still dazzling. If it is thought about and polished, the color will be more brilliant.
The little girl Qin Yue was still boasting at first, but Tang Han also asked about her proud work at this time.
Qin Yue blushed slightly and pointed shyly at the skewed-cut jade pendant.
"It seems that Xiaoyue's taste is good." Tang Han smiled.
In order to adapt to Qin Yue's craftsmanship, the jade was made by Mr. Zhuo to make a picture of a monkey offering peaches to worship the birthday of the monkey. The distorted part is the tail of the monkey, which is unique.
"Brother, just laugh at me!" Qin Yue's eyes fell fiercely on Tang Han.
Tang Han then smiled. Actually, it was not a joke. The New Year is coming soon. Many people buy jadeites that are filial to their elders, just like these jadeites that have the meaning of prolonging life and achieving both blessings and wealth.
There are not many green places in the jadeite and Mr. Zhuo designed it as flower pieces, and these flower pieces also have this meaning. For example, pine and cranes prolong life are pine trees and cranes; blessings are the soul, that is, bats, longevity peaches, Ganoderma lucidum, etc.; and blessings and longevity are the patterns composed of bats, longevity peaches and ancient coins. Although it is not very good when it is drawn now, once it is carved, it is definitely a treasure among them.
These works, Mr. Zhuo seems to be easy to pick them up, but they are actually quite charming. Qin Yue was bored when he was idle and couldn't help but fiddle with them. Only then did he discover the mystery. Not only was it meaning, but even the cutting force could not be practiced in a day or two. As for the design, it would require even more time and experience. If he had not been immersed in many years and had hills in his heart, he would not have been able to draw it.
Mr. Zhuo refused to waste these rare jade, so almost every inch of jade has its value. If it were someone else, such a piece of jade would make a fortune. The price of such a piece of jade should be more than tens of millions of yuan alone. As for the finished product, the value is even more immeasurable.
Seeing Tang Han coming, Mr. Zhuo put down his work. Although he had been busy all day and was a little tired, he was very happy. He was able to design such a top-quality jade himself, Mr. Zhuo's heart was also stirred up for a long time.
"Ah, if you are in a hurry, you can bring some jade to find carving tomorrow. Bihai has not many carvings, and the craftsmanship is generally not very good. Yangzhou's carvings are famous all over the world, so it should not be insulted such good jade. It would be the best thing to invite one or two famous masters to come here." Mr. Zhuo was not belittled by himself, but the jade market here in Bihai is not as strong as the carving craftsmanship passed down from ancient times, and the atmosphere is still very important.
"Well." Tang Han knew that this carving is indeed important. As the saying goes, jade will not be made into a tool. Although the raw materials of this jade must be well carved, it must be well carved to add icing on the cake. So he asked, "Does Grandpa Zhuo know which famous carvings are in Yangzhou? I think it's better to invite a few to come here. I'll have to go around like this every time, and it's hard to guarantee safety issues."
"Yes! You can just spend a lot of money to hire a few carving workers with good skills. If a safety issue is not handled properly, two or three pieces of jade will be more than the price of these carving workers." Qin Yue also understood the truth.
"I don't know much about carving workers. You can go and see their skills first before making a decision! Real masters will not leave their hometown easily. But they don't have to hire masters. In addition to them, there are many carving workers with good craftsmanship." Mr. Zhuo also understood very well that ordinary masters set up their own business after they have fame, and who is willing to receive such a dead salary?
"For example, those masters' apprentices." Qin Yue understood at a glance, thinking that it was also very interesting to poach others' corners.
"Xiaoyue is right. Masters have masters' skills, but the younger generation is not necessarily inferior to masters with the spirit of motivation and study. Moreover, most of the good skills are between the age of twenty or thirty, so you need your own sharp eyes to carefully distinguish them." Old Zhuo smiled kindly. Qin Yue, the little girl, really has a good understanding.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhuo. We will go to Yangzhou tomorrow. As long as we take out Grandpa Zhuo's design, many people will come here." Tang Han also took pictures of the flattery that he can't remember.
"Haha!" Mr. Zhuo smiled heartily. These days, he has become younger and younger. Thanks to these little guys, his life has become more fulfilling and interesting.
"And such good jade raw materials can also attract some people! After all, sculptors hope that the things they carved are the best." Qin Yue said with a smile.
"You just do it yourself. Remember to pay attention to safety on the road." Although Mr. Zhuo was a little worried about the two brothers and sisters, they always wanted to grow up. He could never do everything for them. Besides, although Tang Han seemed very cowardly, he actually understood the way to advance and retreat. This can be seen from his previous experiences.
Tang Han and Qin Yue thanked each other repeatedly, and Mr. Zhuo helped them too much.
In the evening, he had dinner at Mr. Zhuo again, and during this time he discussed the issue of security with Zhuo Ming. When talking about this, Zhuo Ming was an expert, and he patted his chest and promised that he could be fully responsible for recruiting people. He had many classmates and helped to see the venue. Another stone in Tang Han's heart fell. Although it was difficult to start a business, it was quite fun.
When Tang Han also went back, in addition to a green bracelet, he also brought a few jade flower pieces with patterns back, preparing to show the carving workers when he went to Yangzhou tomorrow.
In Qin Yue's words, see if this trip can lure a few carving workers back.
Mr. Zhuo repeatedly told them to pay attention to safety and not reveal their wealth. The same is true for this jade. Never take it out before you can see the right person. The two brothers and sisters should claim that it is, and they still understand this. They also accepted Mr. Zhuo’s kindness together.
When she got home, Tang Han called Ye Xin and gave her a task, asking her to register the company as soon as possible and handle the factory and storefronts during the period when the two brothers and sisters went to Yangzhou.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xin also said she wanted to follow her. Tang Han persuaded her and persuaded Ye Xin. Tang Han and his sister went to bed early and prepared to take the bus to Yangzhou early in the morning.
Early the next morning, Qin Yue and Tang Han got up. Tang Han originally wanted to keep Qin Yue, but unfortunately the little girl looked pitiful and refused to stay alone. She also said that no one would take care of her after Tang Han left.
Tang Han had to shake his head, but what he didn't expect was that when Tang Han went out with jade on his back, the sound of the car horn beeping. He regained his spirit and looked so full of energy Ye Xin opened the car window and grinned at him, looking like he succeeded in the conspiracy and was flattering.
Tang Han was speechless. Why did she run over again? The company she is responsible for is still invisible!
"Sister Xin is in good spirits! Are you going to work on the company's affairs? We are going to go out now, so you don't have to come to send him there in person." Tang Han pretended not to understand her intentions.
"I'm going with you!" Ye Xin was anxious and explained hurriedly.
"So that's it." Tang Han pretended to think deeply, "This... is probably..."
Ye Xin hurriedly got out of the car and carried Qin Yue into the car. Then he smiled at Tang Han, "We can discuss it slowly on the road! You can't hurry up and you didn't give me the company registration money, and you didn't even think about the company name! Besides, for safety reasons, you should not squeeze into the bus, so I have to escort it."
Xiaoyue in the car poked her head out and was very happy, instigating: "Yes, yes, it's so unsafe to squeeze the bus! And many migrant workers seem to be very scary."
"Yes, yes, the environment on the bus is so bad. It's so common to go to Yangzhou, Xiaoyue's health can't stand it!" Ye Xin added seeing the opportunity. Like Qin Yue, both of them frowned.
Tang Han really couldn't do anything to them when they sang like this.
Seeing that Tang Han was still hesitant, Qin Yue said again: "When you buy a car, you don't have to bother Sister Ye Xin like this."
"I'm also buying a plane!" Tang Han was so dizzy that the two women could sing operas even if they got together.
Qin Yue shook her head and thought, "What a good idea! If you fly around often in the future, it's better to buy a private plane, which is so convenient and cool!"
Tang Han stepped forward and gave Qin Yue a thunderous sound. This little girl knew she was thinking randomly.
It was both funny and angry. After Ye Xin's repeated urging, Tang Han got into Ye Xin's Elantra, and Qin Yue took the opportunity to have a fight with him again.
Drive straight to Yangzhou.
Qin Yue couldn't rest. She slept well last night and was in good spirits. "Brother, what name do you think we have to give this company?"
As Ye Xin said, you can discuss it on the road! Otherwise, four hours will be too boring.
"You are very literary, so let's do it!"
"Tanghan Jewelry Company? Tang Jewelry?" Qin Yue, who turned around, covered her mouth and smiled.
Tang Han was almost bleeding from his nose. What's the name? "Everything is good, just don't want these two names."
"The Tang family is good, or the Tang Dynasty jewelry company? Yes! It's very popular now, the Tang Dynasty and the like!" Ye Xin said while driving.
"It's not good, I don't have to add a surname." Tang Han shook his head.
So Qin Yue and Ye Xin started talking nonsense, but unfortunately, none of them liked by Tang Han. In his opinion, these names were similar and had no special meaning. The good ones were used up by others.
In the end, Tang Han made up his mind and took one word from the names of the two chirping people, Xinyue Jewelry. Anyway, for him, any name is just a code name.
This made only the two beauties, one big and one small, and the jewelry company was named after them. No matter what kind of woman it was, she would feel very happy. This time, Tang Han's life was a little better.
Regarding the company's location selection, Ye Xin also gave many plans for Tang Han to choose. The processing factory can find any place, but the best one is near Chenghuang Temple, which is a gathering place for processing factories of large and small jades in the blue sea.
As for the store location, although the two of them didn't spend much time yesterday, Ye Xin often paid attention to this aspect. Her suggestion was to open a counter at Meimei Department Store first. If it was opened independently, it was first of all, the customer flow was a problem. Secondly, whether there was a good sales momentum was not yet determined. Besides, these jades have not been processed yet, and the others will be planned slowly later. As for the security personnel recruited, they are mainly used to ensure the safety of the processing workshop and during transportation.
In addition, the question that Tang Han thought of yesterday was unique. Sales staff should be unique. Not to mention good professional ethics, it is best to have some kung fu. After all, the jewelry sold is of high value. Tang Han's proposal quickly attracted the ravages of two women. Tang Han thought to himself that I hadn't said I would recruit beautiful female clerks! But it is certain to recruit beautiful female clerks.
But the two women were helpless, and this was indeed a matter of fact. Ye Xin volunteered to take care of the recruitment and training of these service ladies, so Tang Han could save him all the effort.
Qin Yue also helped to come up with some ideas while discussing related matters. Children's imagination is rich. Although most of them are not realistic, they also have certain reference value.
It was noon when I arrived in Yangzhou. After asking about the direction, Ye Xin parked her car at the Yangzhou Hotel not far from Yangzhou Jade Factory and booked a room for two days.
After a rest after having a hearty lunch, a few people were ready to take a walk on Jade Street.
Yangzhou was extremely prosperous in ancient times, and many migrants and poets left behind great works here. The famous Yangzhou jadeware was already famous in the world as early as the Tang and Song dynasties. As for now, Yangzhou's carvings are still the best in the world. It is rare to go back to Yangzhou, and the two brothers and sisters of Tang Han naturally had to take a good look at the carving craftsmanship here.
The most famous thing in Yangzhou is the carving of Hetian jade. It would be even better if you could meet the best white mutton fat jade.
