Chapter 1310 Too Young
“Blow it?” Zhou Zhi was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that Zhang Xinyi would compromise with his family in the end.
“It was the boy who suggested it.” Jiang Shuyi sighed: “That boy is in Shenzhen now, and I heard he is going to sea to be a sailor.”
“Didn’t you say he opened a shop? ? This span is a bit big. "Zhou Zhi said: "Seamen should be considered in Mrs. Zhao's eyes. Is it a serious career?"
"Xin Yi didn't tell her more specifically. Xinxin and I cried with her at that time," Jiang Shuyi said, "My mother told me, you are not allowed to tell. Xin Yi, it seems... Uncle Zhang went to find the boy’s father.”
"That's it..." Jiachuan is a very closed society with entangled relationships. As the director of urban construction, Zhang Qingping is now considered powerful. If he solves the problem from this level, he will probably make Mrs. Zhao cry, make trouble, and hang herself. There was nothing we could do.
It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter. If we really manage to get it together, the boy will have a very difficult time in Zhang Xinyi's family in the future.
People today still have a hard time letting go of their parents. Zhang Xinyi's character was not very strong to begin with, but in the face of the powerful Mrs. Zhao, she finally gave up on her first love, which had just begun.
Zhou Zhi also sighed: "But when we met that day, she seemed to be in a good mood and not too thin."
"You didn't see her in the first few weeks of school. "Jiang Shuyi said: "Xinxin and I are almost scared to death. We are afraid that she will not be able to think about it. We have to think of ways to call her every day and take her out to relax on weekends. "
"It's much better now."
"Xin Yi should listen to his family after all." Zhou Zhi said: "Otherwise, it's not impossible to follow the sailors all over the world."
"This is unlikely." Jiang Shuyi shook her head: "When Xinyi graduates, it's time for Ziyuan to go to college again. How expensive will the tuition be for this year's juniors? Xinyi can't only care about himself."
"How can money be a problem?" Zhou Zhi also shook his head: "Aunt Zhao and Imperial Doctor Zhao have already left enough for the sisters..."
"You can't tell Xin Yi this either." Jiang Shu Yi was so nervous that her body stiffened: "Having to take care of my sister in the future is Xin Yi's excuse to forgive herself now. She can't let her lose this excuse..."
"Fortunately, Xinyi has friends like you, and we are still in the same city as you." Zhou Zhi said with emotion: "In our letters, she didn't mention a word about these, and I didn't dare to ask a word."
< br>"Well, it's right not to ask about the relationship between your parents and her parents." Jiang Shuyi said: "Otherwise she will definitely think you are a spy and hate you to death."
" I Who are you provoking?" Zhou Zhi was speechless: "My mother has complained to me a few times. She actually feels sorry for Xin Yi and feels that Sister Zhao has gone too far."
"You are my son. "It's different." Jiang Shuyiqing sighed: "My mother quite understands Mrs. Zhao."
"Your mother doesn't have any objections to me, right?" It was Zhou Zhi's turn to be nervous.
"She doesn't know anything about us, so what's her opinion?" Jiang Shuyi found it funny.
Does your mother really not know? Zhou Zhi actually didn't quite believe it. However, Jiang Shuyi's reputation is very thin. When she came to Shanghai this time, she was in the most relaxed state of Jiang Shuyi.
It’s too late to enjoy it, how can I dare to expose this section now?
The two had a meal outside the school that night, and then went to the cinema to watch a movie. Early the next morning, Jiang Shuyi sent Zhou Zhi off to Suzhou on the 7:30 train.
The distance between Shanghai and Suzhou is not far. Even with the current train, it only takes an hour and a half to get there. At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zhi had already walked out of Suzhou Railway Station.
Suzhou Jade Carving Factory Co., Ltd. is located on Baita West Road. It was originally a private workshop. Later, it became a public-private partnership, then became a production cooperative, then became an engraving factory, and now it has been transformed into a limited company.
The factory was once very prosperous. At its peak, it had more than 160 high-speed jade carving machines and 300 to 400 employees. Its business scope accounted for half of the country. It was exported to Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, Taihe Island, and South Korea. Earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country.
The main products include high-end handicrafts such as vertical carvings, antique stove bottles, jade ladies, and jade animals, as well as tourism products such as flat antique flowers and jade carvings. When they are booming, jade origins from all over the country go to Materials are sent here, and craftsmen are sent here one after another to learn skills.
However, in the 1990s, this industry inevitably declined. Except for a few pieces sent to exhibitions every year, high-end handicrafts began to encounter unsalable bottlenecks.
High-end jade materials have also begun to become tense, while new materials such as chalcedony, Mongolian agate, Dushan jade, Xiu jade, etc., the market response is not very strong.
In short, domestic luxury goods consumption has not yet risen at all. Most of today’s rich are nouveau riche. They prefer platinum, gold, diamonds and emeralds, and their appreciation level has not improved. They mainly focus on the twelve zodiac signs of Buddha Goddess Guanyin. Affordable decorations like pendants or beaded bracelets and rings.
It will take another ten years for the domestic jade carving industry to really start to take off, but these ten years have been too difficult.
Fortunately, there are still 3,000 nails in the ruined ship, and the company still has a lot of inventory, especially those large standing sculptures, antique stove bottles, and jade ladies from the 1980s, regardless of labor costs. , animals, are still fully displayed in the main markets along the street.
"Sir, do you need anything?" The girl at the counter has obviously been trained on the job. Today's companies are taking the road of "modernization", and service training has become a trend, and has even been photographed After watching many movies, it seems that as long as we focus on product quality and strengthen service quality, we can gain a firm foothold in the market.
However, the reality is far crueler than in the movies. Many movie script writers ignore that the essence of the market is the satisfaction of demand. Only by producing products that can meet market demand is the prerequisite for a prosperous business.
Obviously, these things in the jade carving factory's stores are really not in line with the needs of ordinary people. Except for the counter business selling small bargains such as jade and chalcedony, the business is not bad. , the real high-end counter here, everyone just casually takes a look to satisfy their curiosity. The number on the price tag alone can completely dispel people's desire to speak.
"Hello." Zhou Zhi was very polite: "I came to your factory specially to visit teachers Zhu Qinghong, Teacher Lu Manlu, Teacher Zhang Mingyu and Zhang."
"You Are you here to become a disciple?" The little girl looked at Zhou Zhi and shook her head: "Forget it, you are so polite, you can't bear that kind of hardship."
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but dumbfounded. It seemed that his age had been misunderstood again, so he had to say: "My elders like the works of the three teachers very much. At home, we have a collection of their Han Jade costumes, animal-faced waists, etc." Button, ring pepper picture; and the duel dance Feitian performed by Teacher Lu and Teacher Zhang.”
"I sent a batch of jade materials some time ago, and I want to entrust a few teachers to make a few more works." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I must have arrived. I came to see a few teachers today to discuss the theme of carving."
"Oh, you are Mr. Zhou, right?!" The little girl at the counter was surprised: "The general manager came to explain a few days ago, who would have thought that you are so young!"
