"Look at Senior Brother Chen Xingchen, he just wants to be recognized by the world, so he often made high imitations before. I know this best. Unfortunately, it seems that it is more difficult to be recognized by the world, but it is not hopeless. For example, I am one of you
A role model, right?”
"We will work together in the future. Look at my craftsmanship. Why can my craftsmanship be recognized by the world? And the works that can be recognized are at least professional level, that is, level 4 or above.
."
While talking, he walked into the workshop and looked at their workmanship just now.
The sixteen teapots are all plain, without any decorations or carvings. Such purple clay teapots cannot be sold at a high price, and naturally they cannot be recognized by the world.
He picked up a horizontal pot. It was thick enough and looked very honest. As for the cuteness and simplicity, it was gone.
This is the difference between master level and ordinary craftsmanship.
Chen Wenzhe carefully picked it up and took off the lid.
At this time, he placed the entire teapot on the drawing machine and slowly started turning it.
Although the pot has been successfully made, it is not dry yet and can still be repaired.
Chen Wenzhe didn't think about much modification. He kept shaping it with his hands with the help of the drawing machine.
The most important thing about a good work is its shape.
For example, the one in Chen Wenzhe's hands now can only be said to be a mediocre and qualified product. It has no special features and is just an ordinary handmade purple clay teapot.
This kind of thing, because it is a handmade product, can only be sold for two to three hundred yuan at most, which is the ultimate.
And there are still suitable channels for this, otherwise you won't be able to sell it for two to three hundred yuan.
Of course, if you want to trick people, you might be able to sell it for two to three thousand if you package it a little bit.
However, that is a crooked approach, because the cost of this craftsmanship and the purple clay is only worth two to three hundred yuan.
Chen Wenzhe repaired the teapot again. At first, many people were confused, but soon, they were shocked.
The teapot is still the same teapot, but after Chen Wenzhe's constant repairs, soon the previous teapot completely disappeared. Now the teapot in their eyes has become different.
They haven't noticed the specific difference yet, but they feel it's not wrong.
Chen Wenzhe has made this kind of horizontal pot too many times.
He dipped his hands in water and kept moistening the body of the pot to soften it so that it could change its shape.
As the shape changed, this teapot, which was originally a bit thick, began to look pleasing to the eye.
It was just an ordinary teapot at the beginning, nothing special, and nothing special at all.
It's different now, it looks very pleasing to the eye, and the following facts have subverted many people's perceptions.
As time goes by, this relatively thick teapot has shifted its center of gravity downwards and become more stable!
Steady? Can this feeling still appear on a teapot?
It's this feeling, a feeling of being as stable as a mountain and making people very trustworthy.
At this point, Chen Wenzhe stopped moving, and he could only modify it to this extent.
At this time, in Chen Wenzhe's eyes, this teapot still had many flaws.
For example, the proportions of the pot body are still a bit uncoordinated, and the thickness of the walls is uneven.
Furthermore, the spout is not made fine enough, so after it is fired, although the water will pour smoothly, it is not the smoothest.
Also, the lid of the pot is made a bit large. After it is fired, the lid will easily stick to the body of the pot after thermal expansion. If it cannot be opened by then, the pot will be useless.
Of course, these are things for the future. Looking at it now, this teapot is quite satisfactory.
At this time, this teapot should barely reach the professional level quality. In other words, if you take it out and have a darker heart, you can sell it for one or two thousand yuan.
"A teapot like this barely reaches the fourth level of craftsmanship, which is the primary level of expertise. A set of purple clay teapots of this level can be sold for five hundred yuan on the market, which is considered a reasonable price!"
"That's five hundred? What's our two days' salary?"
"You're just trying to make a profit? Work hard. If we reach Level 5 or Level 6, we can get a share of the profits!"
“How much profit can be achieved?”
"If you calculate it, after excluding all kinds of costs, why is it still only one or two hundred per handful? Even if you give me a 10% commission, it won't be less in a month, right?"
"This is still a fourth-level craft. What if it is a fifth-level craft or a sixth-level craft?"
"Why didn't you say seventh-level craftsmanship? That's the master level. Not only will you get commissions, but you'll also get dividends!"
"It doesn't make sense to say that. If you reach the seventh level of craftsmanship, you will be at the master level. What is the price of a master's work? There are no points?"
Seeing the students become active, Chen Wenzhe smiled. This is the kind of atmosphere he wants.
Visible skills can be achieved with just a little effort. This is hope. Don’t people just live for a hope?
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. You guys, do you think the fourth-level craftsmanship is easy? You have studied for four years. How many of you think you have the fourth-level craftsmanship? You can stand up and show it. The fourth-level craftsmanship is for everyone.
An additional four thousand yuan per month!"
Seeing his classmates getting excited, Chen Xingchen stepped forward to attack them.
The pie looks very tempting, but you have to be able to reach it and don’t aim too high!
"Isn't there anyone? Let's start with the simplest pot-making process. How about mixing mud? Who feels that the mud they make is the best? Don't underestimate this. I noticed it when I was making mud strips. Many times, purple sand
The clay you mixed is not up to par. I think you didn’t notice the boss’s expression when he was shaping the body just now, right? He was very dissatisfied with the clay you mixed.”
"It's okay if you don't want to show off now, but we will divide the work later and strive to produce professional-level works at once. Only works of this level can be sold."
Chen Xingchen thought about it when Chen Wenzhe spoke just now. If they want to make qualified products, they really need to divide the labor and cooperate.
His own kiln-firing technology, as Chen Wenzhe said, can definitely reach level four.
If Chen Wenzhe teaches some more tricks, the kiln firing techniques at Level 5 and Level 6 will not be difficult. It is rare to surpass Level 6 and reach the master level.
I can't say that the master level can be easily achieved, but at the fifth and sixth levels, Chen Xingchen is still very confident.
"Now my kiln-firing skills must have reached level four. If the boss teaches me some more techniques, I can master level-five or even level-six kiln-firing skills. So how much salary can I get at that time?"
"Add four, five, and six, it's fifteen thousand, plus nine thousand, it's twenty-four thousand. A monthly salary of twenty-four thousand. In Dahai City, this level is okay, right?"
Is it okay? Can you remove the last word?
A monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan is quite acceptable in an international metropolis like Dahai City.
