Wang Xudong was sitting in the office smoking. He actually knew that Qin Kexin's teacher had brought several people into the store, but he never went out. Almost twenty minutes later, a shopping guide ran in and told Wang Xudong that a customer wanted
Talk to him in person before he walks out.
Wang Xudong walked out and walked to the lobby. There was a man in his fifties in the lobby, followed by three or four young people in their thirties, standing in the store looking at them one by one, and Liu Yin, the store manager
We are introducing and explaining to them personally.
"This is our general manager, and most of the shoes here are designed by him himself." Wang Xudong walked out and introduced Wang Xudong to the man in his fifties.
"Hello, my surname is Cheng." The man smiled and extended his hand to Wang Xudong.
"Hello, teacher, just call me Xiao Wang. Kexin is my friend. She called me last night and told me about you. I'm sorry, because I have something to do over there and I don't know when you will come over, so I didn't
I'm sorry to receive you here in advance." Wang Xudong said with a slight smile.
"You're welcome, I just came over to take a look. Can you borrow a place to talk?"
"Okay, let's go to the reception room, Liu Yin, and pour some tea and fruit. Teacher, please."
"good."
So Wang Xudong led Teacher Cheng and his party into the reception room and sat down on the sofa in the reception room. Liu Yin arranged for someone to come in and pour tea.
"Mr. Wang, Kexin should have called you, right?"
"Yes, I did. He called me at midnight last night." Wang Xudong answered truthfully.
"What's your opinion, Mr. Wang?" Teacher Cheng asked with a smile.
"If I can have this opportunity, of course I would be honored. Regardless of fame and fortune, I can also contribute to the country. The main thing is, teacher, what do you think? Teacher Jingcheng has also read some of my works.
, I want to hear your evaluation of my work, teacher." Wang Xudong said.
"Is this your production workshop?" Teacher Cheng did not directly answer Wang Xudong's words, but pointed directly to a glass wall next to the reception room and asked. This glass wall was specially made to allow customers to sit in the reception room.
Inside you can see their completely handmade production process.
"To be precise, it's called a workshop, because our company's shoes are completely handmade, using almost the oldest and traditional production techniques left by our ancestors. These masters are also folk craftsmen that I hired from among the people.
." Wang Xudong introduced with a smile.
"Can I go in and take a look?"
"Of course. The reason why we built this wall is for customers to see. Everything in our company is transparent and there is nothing that cannot be shown to customers. Teacher, please come over here." Wang Xudong smiled and walked in with Teacher Cheng and his entourage again.
The workshop.
Teacher Cheng looked very carefully in the workroom. He looked at each process repeatedly and kept asking questions. He looked at it for almost half an hour. Then, accompanied by Wang Xudong, he walked out of the workroom and returned to the reception room.
"What do you think, teacher?" Wang Xudong asked again with a smile.
"Can you find a place where we can talk alone?"
"Then you can only go to my office."
"good."
Wang Xudong walked into Wang Xudong's office again, closed the door, and the two of them sat in the office.
"Has Kexin told you the specific content? Has he told you who the shoes are for?"
"Said." Wang Xudong nodded.
"That's good, I won't have to explain further. You also know that this is not a joke, it is a serious matter. I am a fashion designer, but a good outfit must also be matched with a good pair of clothes.
Shoes, but the problem lies precisely in the shoes. It is too difficult to find a suitable pair of shoes. If you are an ordinary person, you only need a pair of good-looking shoes. It would be best if they can be matched with clothes. But this shoe is not so
It is simple, must match the identity, and must represent the image of the country. Therefore, for two months, I have not found a suitable pair of shoes. I have found many people to design, but I am not satisfied with the final design. I have looked at your shoes.
It made my eyes shine, and after seeing it in person today, to be honest, I am very satisfied. What we need is exactly this kind of thing with our national culture, without losing the noble and elegant temperament. These two things are exactly what we need
What we need most is that we don’t need to be flashy or beautiful, but it must be noble. It would be even more perfect if it can have national characteristics, and your design style is exactly in line with it.”
"But there are still problems."
"You said, I will try my best to solve whatever I can."
"The first question is, the cost of your shoes is too high..."
"Teacher, it is our responsibility to serve the country. We make these shoes for free without charging a penny."
"No, it's not just about money. The first reason why your shoes don't meet the standards is money. Although they are worn by Mrs. Big Boss, after all, they are a country and a public figure. The price cannot be too high. The country has requirements.
Yes, secondly, your shoes are inlaid with too many valuable items, diamonds and the like, and these are not acceptable. Our country pays attention to simplicity and low-key, and the nobility in low-key, do you understand what I mean?"
"Fully understand."
"So can you design it?"
"Teacher, I can say this, if I can't design, then no one in the country can design. You can also see my design. The difference from some foreign customized high-end leather shoes is that they use shoes to set off these gems.
It can be said that they sell gems rather than shoes. The shoes are just a carrier for inlaying gems in their works. But my design is different. The gems are just decorations, not the protagonist. The gems are used to embellish the shoes.
My shoes, no matter which pair they are, if you dig out all the gems, they will still look good, but the temperament will change from extroverted to introverted. Most people who are not well-educated may not be able to understand it, but the teacher is
An expert is an expert, and I believe the teacher can tell that at a glance." Wang Xudong said very confidently, and he needed to show this strong self-confidence.
"Indeed, I am very satisfied with your design, but there is still a problem, because I have been delayed for almost two months, and the remaining time is limited. We need four pairs of shoes and only have one month. You
Can it be done?”
"It's difficult from design to production, but I should be able to do it," Wang Xudong said.
"Actually, I came here for your set of early summer, autumn and winter shoes. I am very, very satisfied with those four pairs of shoes. It would have been great if you had not auctioned off the autumn pair. They are almost perfect."
Teacher Cheng was very sorry.
"Teacher, don't feel sorry. The best work will always be the next one. But teacher, I need your help."
"you say."
"You saw Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I invited a local calligraphy and painting master from Donghai to paint them. How can I put it, his reputation and strength are pretty good in Donghai, but he is obviously not worthy of the master of the next work.
I don’t know much about Chinese painting masters, so I want to ask the teacher for help and ask a famous master to help me paint on my shoes."
"Okay, no problem, leave this to me." (To be continued)
