The reason why Chu Heng was confident that Yanchuan's handicrafts could find a market without reading the information was because he suddenly recalled some memories about later generations when he just looked at other information.
He remembered very clearly that there was a kind of cloth painting here, which was very famous in later generations. It was a unique painting in this place, and it was a model of flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall.
In later generations, the reputation and value of Butui paintings can only be said to be moderate in China, but they are very popular with foreigners abroad and enjoy high praise. They have been invited to participate in exhibitions many times and have been selected by many art collectors.
Included in the collection.
"Crafts?"
"What are handicrafts?"
Chu Heng's words made most of the people present look confused. They didn't understand what this so-called handicraft actually covered.
However, this is also a normal phenomenon. During this period, the leaders of many local units were assigned according to their work in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Many people were not highly educated and had little knowledge.
Fortunately, not all people in the room were like this. A few people who had some knowledge immediately explained to the people around them.
"What Comrade Chu Heng means is that handicrafts, such as wood carvings and woodblock prints, do not need machines, they are all made by hand, and they also have some artistic value."
"What is artistic value?"
"It probably means it's not of much use, but it can still be sold for money."
"Oh, uh, I understand."
After Kong Jun had a general understanding, he couldn't help but frown, and asked Chu Heng: "Manager Chu, that is a handicraft that is not suitable for eating or drinking, and is not practical at all. How much can it be sold for?"
Chu Heng smiled and said: "Don't underestimate these things. Many foreigners like crafts with folk characteristics. If this business is completed, it will create tens or millions of income for your county every year."
It won’t be a problem.”
"Even? Dozens or millions?"
Everyone in the room took a deep breath when they heard this, and then became extremely excited.
"Young man, you didn't trick me, did you?" The old man stood up excitedly, his face flushed, and he even forgot to call Chu Heng by his professional title.
"Just a little more." Chu Heng smiled confidently. If he couldn't even handle this small business, he would be called the God of Wealth in vain.
After Kong Jun got the guarantee, his heart suddenly beat wildly. Dozens of millions would be considered just a small amount of money in later generations, but at this time, it was a huge sum of money.
You know, their fiscal revenue in Yanchuan last year was only over one million yuan.
Isn’t this about to get better!!
He quickly called his secretary and ordered: "You immediately take someone to collect our information about the handicrafts. You must act quickly and don't keep Manager Chu waiting!"
"Okay, okay."
The secretary was about to take the order and leave when Chu Heng suddenly said: "You'd better bring some physical objects. This will make it easier for me to make judgments and guidance."
"Did you hear me? I want real things and get more." A leader warned the secretary in a loud voice, fearing that the secretary wouldn't hear.
"Remember it, remember it." The secretary nodded vigorously, opened the door and hurried out.
"Manager Chu." Kong Jun looked at his watch at this time and suggested with a smile: "It will take a while for them to collect information. It's getting late now. How about we go to dinner first?"
"Okay." Chu Heng said happily.
Then, people in the room stood up one after another, and a crowd of people surrounded him as he came out of the conference room and went downstairs. Then some people dispersed on their own, and the remaining main leaders were riding bicycles and riding cars.
He came out of the county compound and ran to the county guest house where Chu Heng stayed.
Chu Heng and Kong Jun arrived first in the Volga, and were then personally welcomed by the guesthouse manager and invited into one of the only two private rooms in the guesthouse.
The room is more than ten square meters, not very big, and the decoration is not very good, but it is clean. There is a round table inside, which can seat more than ten people.
"Sit down quickly, Manager Chu."
After coming in, Kong Jun directly pulled Chu Heng to sit on the main seat, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Manager Chu is here to take your brother Chu Qi back this time?"
"Hey, just talking about it gives me a headache. My second aunt at home sheds tears every day because she misses my son, but this boy is too stubborn. He has been beaten and scolded. He just doesn't want to go back, so I can only settle for the next best thing.
, let him exercise here first." Chu Heng sighed.
"All young people are like this, and so is my brat. He's only in his teens or 20s, but he feels like his wings have become hardened and he doesn't want to be controlled anymore..."
In this regard, Kong Jun and Chu Heng have a lot in common. The second son of his family is also a troubled person. He always confronts him and immediately vomits bitterness.
After chatting for a while, and guessing that the others were coming soon, Kong Jun took out the cigarette and handed it over, promising: "But you don't have to worry, you can rest assured that Comrade Chu Qi is here, I will take care of it for you.
Let's go talk to him tomorrow and see what he thinks, and then I'll find a way to transfer him to the county."
"I would like to thank you, Senior Official Kong, for tea instead of wine." Hearing this, Chu Heng picked up the tea cup and declined with a smile: "But it is not necessary to be transferred to work in the county. This guy is still too young. My idea is to let him go first."
Give him some training at the grassroots level and let him have a good understanding of the people's livelihood hardships. As for the future, you don't need to pay special attention to it. You just need to make decisions based on merit, but don't make specializations."
Kong Jun couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and he was a little unsure whether what he said was true or false.
Since you don’t need care, why do you still want to invite me to dinner?
So he asked tentatively: "Then transfer him to the commune first?"
"No need. I made an agreement with him before to help Liujiagou become rich within three years, so you can just let him stay in Liujiagou for the time being." Chu Heng waved his hand.
"I understand." Kong Jun nodded suddenly, roughly guessing that he was planning to let Chu Qi go through some experience, and at the same time he greatly admired his education method.
"Squeak."
At this time, the box door was opened and several county leaders walked in.
"These four wheels are just faster than two wheels."
"We just went out, and we can't even see the butt of the car."
As they arrived, Chu Heng and the two also ended their conversation. After everyone talked and laughed for a while, the waiters in the guest house began to serve the dishes one after another, and soon they began to push cups and change cups.
Because they still had work in the afternoon, they didn't drink too much. They ate and drank together. At about one o'clock, the secretary came over to inform them that the materials for the crafts were ready. So Kong Jun, who had drunk more than half a catty of wine, picked up his cup and asked
Chu Heng suggested: "Manager Chu, we have something to do in the afternoon. Let's go here for now. We won't go back until we get drunk in the evening."
Chu Heng was not a drinker either. He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's get down to business first and then drink again in the evening."
"Then drink this glass of wine and then we'll go back."
"Okay, done!"
Seeing this, everyone else at the table picked up their glasses, clinked them together, and drank the wine in one gulp. Then everyone left the guest house and returned to the county compound.
