What's even better is that the profits from tourism handicrafts have also significantly improved the business performance and customer reputation of Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall and Jianguo Hotel franchise store.
Ning Weimin, who already outperformed his competitor Zou Guodong in terms of business capabilities, had another bargaining chip for final victory.
Even as the head of the operations department, Zou Guodong couldn't complain, so it was unfair to say something behind his back.
No matter how aggrieved he was, he had to endure it forcefully.
The only thing he could do was to break his teeth and swallow them.
Why?
Just because almost everyone in Pierre Carton's company knows it.
If we trace back to its origins, not to mention tourist crafts, even the idea of a sculpture art exhibition came from Ning Weimin’s mind.
The follow-up planning was also implemented by Ning Weimin himself.
By virtue of this activity, Ning Weimin not only won a good social reputation for Pierre Carton, but also earned a lot of good reputation.
What's more, he can do what no one else can. Miraculously, he can turn something that was originally a loss-making business into a profitable business.
All of this, the credit is firmly established.
No one can take it away, and no one can deceive it.
If you want to accuse, there is no way to blame, and if you want to slander, it will only be counterproductive.
No matter what he said, whenever Zou Guodong opened his mouth, it was a denial of himself and a fulfillment of Ning Weimin.
Look how infuriating this is!
I actually came across an egg with no cracks!
In Zou Guodong's thirty years of life experience, this is definitely an evil thing that he has never encountered before.
But that's nothing.
If Zou Guodong can really understand that Ning Weimin is the founder of the sculpture exhibition and the plenipotentiary representative of the organizer.
We will also continue to hold this event to see how many benefits and valuable things we can get from it.
I believe he will be even more jealous and mad.
It is very likely that he will lose his fighting spirit and vomit three liters of blood just like Zhou Yu resented Zhuge Liang.
This is no exaggeration at all.
Because when the time entered August, Ning Weimin handed over the tobacco shop to Zhang Shihui and began to fulfill the promise he made to the company at the beginning of the year - to upgrade the specifications of the sculpture art exhibition and turn it into a real sculpture industry event.
For this purpose, he specially prepared a fund of 30,000 yuan
On behalf of Pierre Carton, he also sent invitations to the National Artists Association and the Temple of Heaven Park, hoping that they could jointly hold the event for a long time.
As a result, the matter went smoothly and we hit it off immediately.
Pierre Carton has the funds and reputation, the Temple of Heaven Park has the venue and style, and the Artists Association has credibility and professional authority.
The three companies happen to join forces and get what each other needs.
In this way, the news that the "Second Temple of Heaven Zhai Palace Sculpture Art Exhibition" will be held at the end of the year was quickly announced to the media jointly by the three parties.
At the same time, the Artists Association also published a nationwide "Call for Papers" in the industry's authoritative "Art" magazine, as well as news of the upcoming establishment of an exhibition organizing committee.
So it is conceivable that since this is the first time that it is limited to one place in the capital, it is purely a small, experimental sculpture art exhibition.
All of them have received such strong social response, such extensive social attention and recognition.
So this exhibition has more funds, the organizer has more background, and the selection process is more formalized.
It makes absolutely no sense to throw the blame.
Therefore, almost everyone in the industry can be sure that this sculpture art exhibition will once again achieve brilliant success.
He also believes that the impact and value of his award will definitely be much greater than the first time.
All in all, for a relatively unpopular art industry, a professional exhibition event of this scale is too attractive.
Anyone who is engaged in sculpture art is almost full of desire for the opportunity to participate in this sculpture art exhibition.
So forget about those young people who want to become famous in one fell swoop.
Even many successful professors and associate professors have given it some thought.
I want to see if I can use this to improve my personal reputation.
If you think about it, you will know that people who have never tasted sweetness are still like this.
How will those people in the two art schools in Beijing who have already received fame and fortune react?
There are bound to be many people who will rely on their acquaintance with Ning Weimin and the advantage of being close to the water and building, first come first served.
They are the ones who come first to build relationships and gain friendship.
Those elders who pay attention to the dignity of teachers mostly wanted to inquire about the possibility of joining the organizing committee.
And those students who are still studying naturally want to have more opportunities to participate in the competition and award.
Especially those sculpture students who are about to graduate can't help but yearn for Ning Weimin.
Because apart from the competition, they are about to leave school.
Although the art academies of this era were responsible for allocating work.
But they all understand that no matter where they go to work, the income they receive cannot compare with the remuneration Ning Weimin gives them by selling their works on behalf of them.
What happened to people who do art?
Those who engage in art also eat the fireworks of the world.
No one is stupid at heart, and they all know what they should think about in the future.
We have to continue to rely on Ning Weimin to drink wine, eat meat, and have enough food and clothing.
Therefore, whether for fame, profit, or even future livelihood, these people had to come to Ning Weimin for a "good chat."
To be honest, even Ning Weimin himself did not expect that his net worth would soar at rocket speed.
As soon as the news of the art exhibition was announced, he felt similar to how Aunt Bian was praised by the self-employed, and was worshiped by the teachers and students of the sculpture department as if they were gods.
I don’t know how many people want to flatter him every day, treat him to meals, and give him gifts.
There are even people who are particularly concerned about his personal life and want to introduce him to a partner.
Even Xiang Qun, who had a good relationship with him, took great pains to imitate the sitting statue of the president in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, USA, and made a full-length wooden statue of him more than 30 centimeters tall.
Then I spent a whole day looking for him, waiting eagerly at Jianguomen Hotel to see him.
Until they met, he presented the gift respectfully and confirmed that he was truly satisfied with the gift.
Only then can this kid go back to work with peace of mind and come up with entries for the competition.
In the beginning, Ning Weimin really enjoyed it.
Because he came from a lower-class background, even though he later became the boss of a small company, he still managed dozens of employees.
But because his education was too low, he lived a wandering life, and the business he engaged in was speculative, so he never really gained the respect of the intellectual class.
Talents from the sculpture department like those from the Academy of Fine Arts, thirty years later, will be respected social celebrities and academics in the art world.
Everyone who met him was called "Teacher", and there were several followers who were called "Teacher".
In his previous life, he might not even be qualified in front of others, but now he is being chased and complimented by these people.
Naturally, I am very proud and feel that I am who I am, and indeed I am not just any ordinary fireworks.
But gradually, he felt bored, even a little disgusted.
Because he never expected that some people in the art circle would degenerate so quickly and become so utilitarian.
He actually put all his thoughts into crooked and evil activities.
Not to mention that the request was unrealistic, but he was so bold that he wanted to give him money as a bribe.
Even the flattering words he said sounded exaggerated and he couldn't help but feel ashamed for the other person.
There are also some people who are obviously afraid that everyone will come and it will be a sin for them not to come, and they come because they are afraid of offending others.
I couldn't help but say a few flattering words, and I felt so ashamed that I wanted to plunge into the ground.
Of course he doesn't want to force people to be like this, especially artistic talents with a pure heart.
He can best understand the difficulties faced by poor children who want to work their way up on their own, and has great sympathy and sympathy for this grassroots mentality.
Especially in his heart, these people who can create beautiful things should be the noblest, most refined, and purest.
He couldn't even accept that because of his own reasons, he had created a group of "artists" who only knew how to flatter others, were worldly, and were philistines.
So does everything he does today still have any significance to society?
I'm afraid that even he himself will feel guilty.
But what's worse is that he can't keep himself clean even if he doesn't want to be a philistine.
Because there are some people that even he himself cannot refuse.
For example, Song Huagui and her husband Wan Man, because they both studied at the National Academy of Fine Arts, it is inevitable that there will be some teachers and old friends there.
Song Huagui was his big boss, and he was kind to him.
This eldest sister introduced some people who were going to participate in the exhibition to him. Is there any need to explain what the purpose was?
How could he live up to his trust?
Master Guan, who had helped him in the past, also came to join in the fun and asked him to help ask if the organizing committee still needed anyone.
It was even more difficult for him to refuse someone who was interested in him.
So it's hard to be a human being, and the first taste of being in a superior position doesn't seem to be as wonderful as imagined.
The balance of interpersonal relationships, the scale of interest exchange, and the choice of principles and favors.
In this new situation, it was no longer a question to which he could casually give the correct answer.
