Yi Yao is very clear that if he wants to create a brand effect and make handmade bamboo products that meet the attributes of the viewing platform, he must make changes in product appearance and functional design.
Qin Yanshan is the inheritor of Daoqin bamboo weaving, and he inherits old craftsmanship. Although there is a lot of room for innovation in handicrafts, daily necessities that meet Yi Yao's requirements are very simple in appearance and function.
Take bamboo baskets as an example. There are agreed-upon standards for size and even the color of the paint used to close the mouth. It is very difficult for veteran craftsmen in the Heiquan community to make breakthroughs in appearance.
At noon, Yi Yao took Qin Mo to find Qin Yanshan and Lao Zhang. The two of them chatted for a long time. Yi Yao determined that the craftsmen in Heiquan community had a serious relationship with the aesthetic needs of young people.
"Uncle Qin, I wonder if we can recruit a designer to help us improve the appearance and functionality of our products?"
Yi Yao was very careful when she said this. She knew that veteran craftsmen like Qin Yanshan had fragile self-esteem.
Qin Yanshan glanced at Lao Zhang next to him, his expression was indeed a bit unhappy as Yi Yao expected: "Lao Zhang, what do you think?"
Lao Zhang is not a stubborn person, but he still asked Yi Yao: "Our current categories are not enough? In fact, we can also design ourselves. How about we make a few finished products and you can take a look first?"
At this moment, Qin Mo also realized that Yi Yao brought her here just to stand up to him: "Old Qin, that's not what Yi Yao meant. It's not that our products are not good enough, it's that... they don't fit the aesthetics of young people. It's like
…”
Qin Mo racked his brains before he came up with a suitable metaphor: "Just like you like listening to Teresa Teng's songs, we like Jay Chou. Times have changed, and our aesthetic needs have also changed."
After a wave of forced explanations, Qin Yanshan and Lao Zhang's expressions remained unchanged and full of doubts.
Lao Zhang brought Yi Yao and the two to the door, and then expressed his concerns: "Lao Qin and I can actually understand what you mean, but is this matter really difficult to handle?"
Qin Mo looked puzzled: "Uncle Zhang, what's so difficult about this? The designer makes the design draft, and our workers make the product according to the design draft. Is it possible that we can't make it?"
Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "Old craftsmen are very stubborn. The craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation, and things are made in this way. They..." Lao Zhang sighed and continued: "Just like Tang Bohu, he finally
He is good at painting maids, and the emperor lets him go to the palace to paint sparrows. Isn't this humiliating?"
In fact, over the years, Qin Yanshan and Lao Zhang were not ignorant of the reasons for the decline of Heiquan community, and they also knew that they had been out of touch with the times.
But change is always the hardest.
Especially for this group of old craftsmen, they will do whatever the master teaches and demands. To change is to violate the master's teachings, or even to be serious, to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors.
Although Yi Yao could understand what Old Uncle Zhang said, she still said: "Old Uncle Zhang, I still suggest that you discuss it with Uncle Qin. Although we are young, we can understand your difficulties, but if Dao Qin wants to pass on the inheritance, then
It has to change. The black and white TV and radios of thirty years ago, and the knife sharpeners on the overpass, they are gone."
Yi Yao has said everything that needs to be said, and the next step is to see what Qin Yanshan chooses.
Even Qin Mo on the side felt that Yi Yao was a little abnormal at this moment, and his sharp edge was not as soft as before.
"Didn't you say it before? If you don't destroy it, you can't establish it. If you want to pass on the Dao Qin bamboo weaving, you have to change this path."
Yi Yao seemed to have guessed Qin Mo's thoughts at once, and said with a serious expression: "I don't want this either, but someone has to say these things. I don't want the Black Spring community to decline like this."
After talking about hiring a designer, it was just past two o'clock. Yi Yao went back to the wooden house to continue testing the data, while Qin Mo went to Qin Yanshan's place.
Judging from Yi Yao's reaction, Qin Mo has also realized the seriousness of this problem. If Qin Yanshan and the others insist on not making changes, Heiquan community and even Dao Qin Bamboo Weaving may eventually face a desperate situation.
In the evening, several things happened in the Black Spring community.
First, Qin Yanshan agreed to recruit designers; in addition, several old craftsmen left the Heiquan community. Second, Qin Yanshan knelt at the door all night.
With Yi Yao's persistence and Qin Mo's instigation, Qin Yanshan finally agreed to recruit designers, but the consequences were obviously something Yi Yao and Qin Mo did not expect.
As Qin Yanshan expected, as soon as he announced his decision, he aroused opposition from the old craftsmen in the Heiquan community. Exceptions are extremely rare in the traditional master-sect relationship. Moreover, Tao Qin bamboo weaving has continued from the Ming Dynasty to the present
, the rules have never changed, Qin Yanshan is making an exception by doing this.
Several veteran craftsmen in their seventies became very angry when they heard that Qin Yanshan wanted to change the rules and make exceptions. But Qin Yanshan was the director of the factory, and these people had no choice but to leave the Heiquan Bamboo Weaving Factory.
Express inner dissatisfaction.
The workers all thought that Qin Yanshan would try his best to persuade him to stay, but to their surprise, Qin Yanshan not only did not persuade him to stay, but also said on the spot that anyone who disagreed could leave together.
This incident had a great impact on the Black Springs community.
In the Heiquan community, although Qin Yanshan is the inheritor of Dao Qin bamboo weaving, Qin Yanshan's seniority is not high. In particular, there is an old man named Dong who is Qin Yanshan's uncle, and he can completely crush Qin Yanshan in terms of seniority.
Qin Yanshan agreed to recruit designers, which was tantamount to breaking the rules of Dao Qin bamboo weaving. Several old craftsmen who were determined to leave the Heiquan community immediately approached Mr. Dong and asked him to seek justice.
The Black Circle Bamboo Weaving Factory belongs to Qin Yanshan, and all the workers' shares were taken back some time ago. Qin Yanshan has absolute decision-making power. But when Mr. Dong came forward, Qin Yanshan did not dare to be too disobedient, and went to the door in person that night to be punished.
His uncle, Mr. Dong, and several senior craftsmen were very dissatisfied with Qin Yanshan's actions and gave Qin Yanshan, who was over fifty years old, a hard lesson.
Mr. Dong insisted that Qin Yanshan take back his decision. Qin Yanshan's attitude was gentle, but he still refused to give in.
In a fit of anger, Mr. Dong took out Master Qin Yanshan's ranking and made Qin Yanshan kneel at the door all night in the name of Master Qin Yanshan.
Qin Mo was outside the door at the time. She wanted to step forward to help him, but was stopped by Old Uncle Zhang on the side.
"Let him go, so that he can feel better."
That was the first time Qin Mo truly realized the ideological differences between the two generations. In the past, she just thought that the older generation was stubborn, paranoid, out of fashion, backward and pedantic. Knowing this moment, Qin Mo finally had some reflections.
, she finally realized that the older generation had made much more efforts than modern people in adapting to the times and following the times.
We are born into the times, but people of the older generation have to cross the gap to get ashore in the trend of the times.
Qin Yanshan knelt all night, and Qin Mo stayed all night. When Mr. Dong opened the door the next morning and saw Qin Yanshan still kneeling at the door, he sighed silently and said: "The world has changed, the world has changed, what do you want to do?
Just do it.”
Qin Yanshan knelt all night and finally gained his master's understanding. However, several veteran craftsmen in Heiquan Community suddenly lost their jobs, and many important processes suddenly lost the people to check them, and the production efficiency instantly dropped to a lower level.
After learning about the situation, Yi Yao was as shocked as Qin Mo. Neither of them expected that a decision to recruit a designer would cause such a big reaction.
Because of guilt, Yi Yao went to apologize to Qin Yanshan, but Qin Yanshan did not mean to blame Yi Yao: "Sooner or later, this step must be taken. You pushed me on this matter, and I am actually grateful to you. Now.
Okay," Qin Yanshan let out a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Now all the roads have been paved for you. Next, it depends on your performance."
Recruiting designers is very important. Uncle Zhang knows his stuff and said that there is a team in Yunnan that specializes in bamboo weaving product design. They have been approached before. Uncle Zhang has been in contact with one of the designers and wants him to try it out.
.
Yi Yao is always worried. After all, the designer's concept must match the operation idea of the bamboo weaving account to achieve the best results, so Yi Yao plans to take Qin Mo and Old Uncle Zhang to Yunnan in person to see this design.
division.
Firstly, this seems to be sincerity; secondly, Yi Yao must check it personally to feel at ease.
The three of them agreed to go to Yunnan the day after tomorrow. At noon, Qin Mo took Yi Yao back to the company on Dawang Road and planned to go to the 4S store to wash the car.
When the car drove to the entrance of the 4S store, Yi Yao suddenly turned and went straight to Dong Zhi's auto repair shop. This chapter has been completed!
