Chapter 2227 Product Selection
Not long after, the group returned to the county compound again, but this time they did not go to the small building, but to a large conference room among the bungalows on the left side of the courtyard.
The conference room has an area of 200 to 300 square meters. At this time, the tables, chairs and benches inside have been basically cleared. The floor is filled with various kinds of crafts. Secretary Li asked the following towns to step up their efforts to collect those that they think can be classified as handicrafts. thing.
“Manager Chu, because time is too tight and we have not made such preparations before, these are the only handicrafts we can find at present, and we don’t know if the talisman meets your requirements.”
Chu Heng stood at the door and looked at the things on the ground. Among them were wood carvings, woodblock prints, cloth paintings, straw sandals, straw grasshoppers, etc. Most of them were old and had been seriously used. Some of the traces or traces of time are exquisite, while others are invisible.
The reason for this is that Kong Jun wanted it too urgently, and they couldn't figure out what could be regarded as a handicraft, so they just had the idea of taking it first, regardless of whether it was useful or not. Besides, it leads to a mixed situation of good and bad.
Chu Heng took a few steps forward and looked down at a pair of rotten straw sandals that exuded a sour smell. His eyes almost rolled to the top of his head. He shook his head speechlessly and said, "I'll take a look first." Let’s look at the information you collected.”
“Oh, okay.”
Secretary Li quickly took out a thin piece of information from his bag and handed it to him.
A county leader nearby was very discerning and immediately pulled a wicker pouf and placed it behind him: "Sit down and watch, Manager Chu."
"Thank you." Chu Heng was not polite, took the information, sat down, crossed his legs and flipped through the information in his hand.
Because he was in a hurry, there wasn't much content on it, and a lot of relevant information was missing, so he didn't read it for long. After a rough understanding, he handed the information back.
"Here you go." Chu Heng handed the information back to Secretary Li, raised his buttocks and stood up, looking down at the wicker seat he just sat on. It's patinated, but it's still very strong. There are floral decorations with northern Shaanxi characteristics woven on it, which is very beautiful.
After looking at it carefully, he looked up and touched again, and soon discovered other wicker products, including the Eight Immortals table that was a set of poufs, baskets, baskets, baskets, chests, etc. things.
Chu Heng immediately stepped forward and took a look without saying anything. After taking out a small notebook and pen from his pocket and writing something, he turned towards other items and squatted down from time to time to pick up something and look at it. After a glance, he wrote a few more words in the notebook, and occasionally asked Secretary Li a few questions.
Kong Jun led the leaders to follow step by step, full of nervousness and expectation.
After more than an hour like this, Chu Heng finally finished reading everything, and then the group moved to the conference room in the small building.
After everyone was seated, Chu Heng put the notebook on the table and spread it out, with a serious look on his face, and said: "I won't say anything irrelevant. Let's go straight to the topic. What I'm going to say next is very important. , please take notes.”
“Wait a moment, please wait a moment.”
Although a note-taker has been specially arranged, Kong Jun and other leaders still found paper and pen. Be prepared to take notes in case you miss any important information.
Upon seeing this, Chu Heng waited for a short while. After they were ready, he said: "Now let me talk about the items of artistic value and economic value among the things you collected."
“The first is wicker items, which have a long history in Yanchuan and have already developed a strong local reputation. Craftsmanship with local folk custom characteristics will be a major selling point, such as those wicker poufs and tables. This one is very good. It is not only strong and durable, but also has beautiful floral decorations, which are quite ornamental. Not to mention foreign devils, I can see it. I’m so excited. If it weren’t for the inconvenience, I would have moved one back.”
“Haha. "
Everyone was happy after hearing this, and Kong Jun continued: "What's this? If you like it, my local commission will ask someone from the transportation company to bring one to you." "Thank you Kong. The high official is kind, but let’s forget it, it’s too numb.” Chu Heng smiled and waved his hand politely, then continued: “Okay, let’s take it. Having said that, this wickerwork is good, but it is a little bit practical. I suggest you organize some ingenious comrades to make some ornamental wicker items, such as vases, animals, etc. Of course, don’t let go of the practical ones. , we need to blossom at both ends and innovate a lot.”
Kong Jun and others quickly picked up their pens and wrote down every word.
Chu Heng paused, and after they finished recording, he continued: "In addition to willow weaving, Yanchuan's cloth paintings are also very good, with unique craftsmanship, vivid imagery, and unique imagination. I think it will be very popular with foreign devils, so you can put more effort into this area."< br>
......
He talked for more than an hour, and finally listed six categories: willow weaving, cloth painting, wool and linen embroidery, paper cutting, wood carving, and woodblock printing. Crafts suitable for export were discussed, and each type was discussed and the creative direction was roughly guided.
“Okay, that’s all for now.”
After finishing speaking, Chu Heng, who felt his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, closed the book, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a big sip.
“Only six items.” Kong Jun was still a little dissatisfied with this, so he suggested: “Manager Chu, I heard from Secretary Li that we still have some things that we haven’t delivered yet because they are hard to find. , how about I organize it again tomorrow?”
“No need to.” Chu Heng waved his hand and said, “You can’t bite off more than you can chew, these six are enough for you to keep busy.”
"Okay." Kong Jun could only give up.
Then Chu Heng said again: "In addition, I am going to send your stuff to next year's Spring Canton Fair, so you have to hurry up and prepare more samples before this year. Send your things over after the new year, and I will help you jump in line to participate in the exhibition.”
"Excuse me, Manager Chu." Kong Jun hurriedly stood up and shook hands.
"Hey, no matter how troublesome it is, it's all for the purpose of building the motherland."
Chu Heng let go of his hands and stood up, stretched his sore waist, and then suggested going out for a walk. Let's go and get some air. Accompanied by Kong Jun and other county leaders, he came out of the county compound and walked around some of the more famous places in the county.
When it got darker, they returned to the guest house.
Coincidentally, Chu Qi and the others came back at the same time, and they bumped into each other.
"Come on, come on, let me introduce you." Chu Heng pulled over the little brother who was holding a few books in his arms and was covered with dust: "This is my brother, Chu Qi, a bastard."
"Hello, Comrade Chu Qi." Kong Jun smiled and shook his hand.
"Hello... hello, comrade, senior official."
Chu Qi shook his hand blankly, and then other county leaders came forward one by one and praised him for being nice.
Accountant Li looked at the group of leaders surrounding Chu Qi, sucking in one cool breath after another, and almost dropped his jaw in shock.
