Chapter 83 A Little Goodbye Is Better than a New Marriage
A week before the Spring Festival, the tourist visa to Malaysia was successfully issued. I will leave in two days. I have been busy with this these days and have not spent time with my parents. This year’s New Year cannot be spent with the two elderly people. This is the first time in my life. This time, Jin Huabin went to the vegetable market to buy some good vegetables and cooked them silently, hoping to have a good meal with his parents. However, he saw his father's face was unhappy when he came home from get off work.
What happened? Jin Huabin hurriedly stepped forward to hold his backpack for him and dusted it off. His father glanced at the food on the table and immediately entered the studio to get busy.
"Old man, my son will go abroad in two days. It's rare for him to be filial and cook a large table of dishes for us. Why can't you accompany us to have a good meal? Put down your work quickly." Mom was a little angry at Dad's behavior.
, this behavior has been going on for several days, so what happened to his father? After hearing his mother mention it, Jin Huabin remembered that these days, after work, he was either busy decorating a new house or running abroad.
During the formalities, I mostly had dinner with the decoration workers at the new house. It was already late when I got home, and I had very little communication with my father. It was time to take care of me.
Jin Huabin accompanied Xing Xing and called his father to the dinner table. The three members of the family sat down together and asked about the situation. His father replied: "Now, there are many imitation colored stone inlays on the market, and the price is cheaper than those made of fluorite."
There is no other way to keep it low. My father can only work hard to design more products and maintain market share."
"It's lower than fluorspar. Is there such a stone in the world?" He asked in surprise: "Even if it is pebbles from the stream, the price will not be lower than that of fluorspar if you pick it piece by piece."
"Let me show you the counterfeit products I bought from the market." As his father said, he went to the studio and took out a mosaic and said, "This is it. Look at what it is made of."
Jin Huabin took it and took a look. It was obviously made of resin. The color and texture of the resin can be adjusted freely. Add whatever color and pattern you need and what kind of pigments you need. Pour it into the groove and leave it for a day to solidify.
After a little trimming with a chisel, it becomes a work that is highly similar to the inlay of colored stones, which is extremely difficult for laymen to distinguish with the naked eye. Moreover, there are many types of resin and it is easy to color. In terms of technical processing of color transition, it is more natural and beautiful than that of jade.
Higher.
"What is the government's attitude?"
"The seller only said it was an inlaid handicraft, not a colored stone inlaid work. It does not involve counterfeiting. Resin is harmless and cannot be investigated and dealt with like fluorite." The father sighed and said, "So, I just
We can quickly design new samples and put them on the market in batches, but we can't give others a chance."
Jin Huabin asked: "Is this useful? Handicrafts are not fashionable. They have a long shelf life. Tourists will not snatch them when they are put on the market. People who should counterfeit them will still do the same."
"This won't work, that won't work, so you just watch the bad money drive out the good money?" My father, who rarely drank, poured a glass of wine into the glass and said, "We're just going to give up on the money passed down by our ancestors.
Skills, you have to do something, right?"
The cost of resin is low and the difficulty of production is low. Although it is easy to age and change color, it has an aging time cycle, and it will take several years to see it. When tourists choose products in tourist stores, the first thing they look for is its beauty and price. Resin mosaics
There are obvious advantages in these two aspects, and tourists have limited vision and cannot see the difference between jade and resin. Jin Huabin also could not think of a way to crack it, so he could only drink a few glasses of wine with his father to relieve his boredom.
"Since we can't meet its requirements in terms of cost, why don't we move closer to it and also produce resin inlaid products?" My mother saw that my father's expression was wrong, so she carefully accompanied him and said: "Technology is like people.
There is a lifespan. You see how exquisitely the shoes for small feet were made when grandma was a child. Then they disappeared and people had to accept their fate."
"These are not the same thing as little feet. They are national treasures." Jin Huabin got angry at his mother for the first time when he saw his father, who was strict about his wife, and threw the wine glass to the ground. After a while, he fell drunk on a chair.
He hurriedly supported his father and said: "Dad, this is nothing. The overall business of Haixing Art Carving Co., Ltd. is operating well, and tourist souvenirs only account for a small proportion of it. Even if we give up, it will not affect the company's benefits."
Dad breathed on the smell of alcohol and said with a cry: "What does it mean if it is recognized by the rich? It is considered a luxury product. It has a reputation among the common people. Only inlaying colored stones is considered an industry."
Dad was drunk. He and his mother carried Dad to the bed, silently thinking about Dad's words, and after drinking, he uttered the truth. Dad is a real artist. In Dad's heart, the end of the earth is the reputation of the common people. p>
Dad's knot was hard to resolve. Maybe time would make him forget all this. Because he had to catch a plane in Shanghai, Jin Huabin went to the station early the next morning and boarded the early train to Shanghai.
The plane arrived in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. From a geographical point of view, it and BJ are in the same East Eighth District. The time is consistent and there is no time difference, but the temperature difference is too big. It was cold winter when I got on the plane in Shanghai, and it was midsummer when I got off the plane.
Zhang Guifang and the tour guide had repeatedly warned about the clothing issue, but there was no place to change clothes on the plane, so when he got off the plane, Jin Huabin was still wearing bulging winter clothes, like a polar bear that accidentally wandered into the tropical rainforest.
At the exit of the airport, Zhang Guifang was waiting for the airport wearing a collarless, long-sleeved dress and a belt, which made her waist look particularly thin. In Jin Huabin's understanding, Malaysia is a tropical region, and their people dress accordingly.
They mainly wear short clothes that are passionate and unrestrained, exposing arms and legs at the top. Who would have thought that from the airport, most of them are decorated similar to Zhang Guifang's.
Zhang Guifang quickly circled around Jin Huabin, letting her skirt spread out like flowers, and asked: "Husband, what do you think of this decoration?"
He blinked, nodded, pointed to her belt with a very serious expression and replied: "Well, the upper body is a human, the lower body is a human, and the middle is the waist (demon)."
She giggled so hard that her whole body trembled, and she bent down and said: "My stomach hurts from laughing so much. Get in the car quickly, and see how I, the monster, eat you tonight."
Malaysia is a small country. She arrived at her residence two hours later, in a villa on the seaside. After parking the car, she pointed to the sea in front of her and said, "This place is nice, dear. How much do you think this villa costs?"
?"
Guess how much the rented villa costs, what does this mean? The price of the villa has nothing to do with us, the rent is closely related to our wallet. He guessed: "One hundred dollars a month, right, dear."
For a ten-day trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, the travel agency’s price is only 6,000 RMB. Excluding the air tickets, the daily expenses are less than 300 RMB, and the monthly rent of 100 US dollars is estimated based on this.
