After getting in the car, Zhang Guifang asked: "How did you know that Factory Director Huang had studied abroad?"
"I guessed it from the photo. In the old photo of the stone window from decades ago, the background is the Gondola, the representative cruise ship in Venice, as well as his clothes and appearance." Jin Huabin boasted proudly: "Overseas Artists often dress like this."
In addition to being leisurely, the work at the cultural station is also characterized by the large number of newspapers, periodicals and books, and the ability to access more external information than others. From the perspective of horizons, it is wider than others. Returning to the cultural station, Jin Huabin asked Yang Zhan After the report was made, Webmaster Yang was a little overjoyed. He just wanted to make a record of Xianju Shichuang, but unexpectedly he found so much in-depth and meaningful content, far exceeding expectations. This special issue will be a hit!
Looking at the exquisite and unique stone window photos and Jin Huabin's tired face, Stationmaster Yang said: "Xiao Jin, you have worked hard these days. Leave the camera and give it to Xiao Zhou to sort it out. Go home and make up for it first." Let’s get some sleep. We’ll discuss how to write it tomorrow.”
Because it was working hours, there was no one at home and it was very quiet. Jin Huabin turned on the computer, took out the photos in the folder, and converted them into electronic documents based on the design draft left by his father.
It's unclear whether this is an imitation or original. At the last Canton Fair, Xiang Haixing and his son saw many Southeast Asian Chinese gathered around an exhibition hall that made wood carvings of the Four Treasures of the Study and jewelry boxes. The business seemed to be good, so they took the opportunity to discuss business. They took pictures of their sample patterns with a digital camera and immediately faxed them to Xianju and gave them to Jin Huabin's father, asking him to see if it was possible to make similar products using colored stone inlays.
To put it simply, the process of inlaying colored stones is to carve out grooves in camphor or mahogany, then embed the cut-shaped colored stone pieces into the corresponding grooves, and carve or polish the protruding stone pieces because the top It is inlaid with various precious jade stones, so it looks more luxurious, but the technical characteristics are the same as wood carving and color filling. It is an upgraded version of wood carving. With the original drawing, it is natural to make similar designs and make products. It was difficult. My father quickly provided a design draft and made two samples with colored stones. After taking pictures, he sent them to them via a color fax machine. After communicating with customers, customers in Southeast Asia expressed strong purchasing intentions.
The requirement for electronic documents is to fix the size, material, quality requirements, cost and other basic information of the sample as the basis for the two parties to sign a contract and quote. At the moment, computers are not being promoted, and Jin Huabin is working at a cultural station. I am engaged in file management, and I am currently in the process of electronic management of files. Those who are closer to the water are better, so I learned painting and design conveniently, so I can earn some extra money in my spare time with my father.
The design is easy to make, but the cost is difficult to calculate, because a lot of colored stones and gems are used. There are only more than ten kinds of wood carving materials such as wood and lacquer, but there are many types of gems and colored stones. What is more complicated is that the prices vary greatly. , the shape is irregular, the cutting loss rate has to be estimated, and the dosage is difficult to calculate accurately. With the help of the EXCEL table, a few hours later, the first draft of the cost was finally calculated. Jin Huabin was shocked when he saw the data. The cost was nearly two times that of mahogany carving. Times, nearly five times that of camphor wood carvings, plus the profit, the price is really scary. A small jewelry box costs more than 300 yuan. Can the customer accept it? Jin Huabin reported the results to Fa Shaoxiang Haixing.< /p>
Xiang Haixing replied: "Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia are rich, and what they want is high-end. Take a look and change the material of the colored stones to better ones. Change the quartz stone to crystal, and the Dushan jade to amber. Amber can ward off evil spirits."
, overseas Chinese believe this, please raise the price higher. Come to my house for dinner tonight, I have already reserved a place for you and your son. By the way, how are your personal problems? I guess you have already taken care of it?" p>
The two families have a good relationship, and it is common for the whole family to go there to eat. Who calls their family the big boss? But the time of the meal this time was not the usual weekday, and Jin Huabin felt a little uneasy. In addition, he
When asked a purely personal question, although the two of them talked about everything since childhood, best friends also have their own privacy. Jin Huabin was still a little shy and said: "I won't talk about this. I'll be busy for a while."
As for the stone inlaid product design, some details have not yet been finalized."
"Why don't you say anything? Do you think we are close friends? I'm always the first one to tell you when I find a girlfriend." As soon as the words fell on the phone, the car horn blared and Xiang Haixing had arrived downstairs.
Picked him up.
After getting in the car, Xiang Haixing sighed. Jin Huabin asked: "What's wrong? Which beauty did you dump at the Canton Fair?"
"Then you are interested in flirting with beautiful women. This time you almost ruined the business." After saying that, Xiang Haixing invited: "Both of you, father and son, resign and come to our place. You can go to the Canton Fair with us. We can't have any fun at this time."
."
Your career is on the rise, prospering, and money is pouring in. How can you have such a sigh? Jin Huabin was very surprised. When he heard him talk about his experience at the Canton Fair, he said: "Nowadays, customers are becoming more and more sophisticated.
When I saw our pictures, I didn’t talk about the price. I repeatedly asked us to explain how the craftsmanship was done, how to ensure the quality, etc. These were all technical details of engraving. How could I reply? You know my previous business was all about hard work.
It’s because of drinking and building relationships, but now, the trend of business people has changed.”
His father is a master of colored stone inlay. Under the influence of the noise, Jin Huabin is not very good at carving techniques, but he has a good grasp of the process and terminology. He then agreed: "The introduction is not complicated. There are all kinds of colored stone inlays."
There are fifteen processes including drawing, hooking, arranging, engraving, latticework, stone matching, frame, filling, inlay, engraving, pasting, polishing, waxing, tracing, and assembly. The protruding process is called relief inlay.
, flat grinding is called flat grinding and inlay. Just introduce the basic concepts to customers, but they don’t really understand.”
"When the customer arrives tomorrow, you and your dad will serve as technical consultants in our factory. With your dad's professional level and the set of five thousand years you brought from the cultural station, nostalgia and legends, etc., we will definitely be able to
The customer was stunned for a while, so it’s decided, I’ll ask Webmaster Yang for a leave on your behalf.” Xiang Haixing made the decision to Jin Huabin in a comprehensive manner.
The cultural station is a Qingshui yamen. During the New Year, few companies send new year's goods, but Xiang Haixing's art carving factory is always full of gifts every year. First, because the art carving factory sees the potential of the cultural station to promote them, and secondly,
I want to give my brother a face. So, I have a good relationship with Webmaster Yang. After a phone call, Webmaster Yang agreed and said: "We are planning to publish a special issue on colored stone inlays after the special issue on stone windows.
I need your support, let’s just call it a business trip tomorrow.”
