Chapter 1594 Examination and Exhibition
Clover Company also has a very strong overseas relationship and technical background, and its financial strength is also quite strong. Therefore, after getting permission from the ministry, Zhou Zhi found another way and went through Li Laoer. The Hong Kong Island line allowed Heheng Group to apply for another line based on the original one for the dedicated line connection between Clover Company and the Shu University campus network.
It is quite easy to apply for a line from the United States to Hong Kong Island. On the contrary, it takes a lot of effort to connect the dedicated line from Hong Kong Island to Guangdong Province, and then from Guangdong Province to the capital of Shu.
Fortunately, Lao Hu, a ministerial-level chairman who has come out of the system, has provided great assistance, otherwise it would have been extremely difficult to coordinate this matter.
This line has now become one of the key tasks of the current Internet construction like the four major backbone networks. In fact, it operates independently and is prepared to first unite universities in the southwest and northwest regions, but nominally it belongs to China Education and Scientific Research Part of the computer network - Western Education Network.
The current Western Education Network is busy at two ends: one is connecting various universities in the region, and the other is connecting to the four major backbone networks, and together they are building a high-speed network for China's Internet communications.
So Zhou Zhi is still quite busy. Although others are doing everything, as investors and managers, we have to constantly listen to reports, make judgments, give instructions, and communicate. The only comfort is that Relevant departments at the national and provincial levels attach great importance to these matters, provide strong support, and provide green light all the way. It is considered to be very smooth.
The remaining time is the time to review your homework.
On Jiang Shuyi's side, the study tasks this semester began to become very stressful, and the correspondence and phone calls between the two gradually became less and less. Later, Jiang Shuyi began to prepare for the TOFEL test. The two agreed to suspend communication and sprint to the end of the final exam before contacting each other again.
The Chinese Department of Shu University also proposed a small reform plan in the last month of this semester, which is to divide the courses into elective courses, minor courses, and basic courses, which are arranged in four sections. The exams will be held in a week, instead of being arranged to be completed in one week according to the class learning progress as before.
Calculating this way, we only need to deal with two or three courses a week, which makes it a lot easier for students to review for exams. As soon as the news came out, the whole department cheered.
Later, this method became a model for other departments to learn from, and eventually became the mainstream way of organizing examinations in universities across the country.
In fact, no one would have thought that the original intention of this matter was just to allow Zhou Zhi to arrange the exam density for eighteen subjects.
Originally, it was possible to open a small stove, but Gu Lao and Zhou Zhi both refused, thinking that it would easily poke someone's spine.
Since you don’t want to do any special tricks or cheat, then just follow all the students for reference in an open and fair manner. Only in this way will it appear fair.
It was indeed a lot easier for the students, but for Zhou Zhi, the intensity was still about the same as the previous finals, and even the time was extended.
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to comfort himself that next semester would be fine. This semester would be more difficult and tiring, and the courses left for him in the next semester would even be fewer than those of his classmates in the second semester of a normal sophomore year.
Of course, specialization cannot be completely avoided, because except for the six or seven courses in this class, Zhou Zhi had to share the same examination room with the juniors and even seniors for the rest.
So there will often be situations like this. When everyone is about to start the exam, the invigilator comes in with a boy who is obviously a lower grade student and points to the unoccupied front row: "Cheating is a sure thing." ": "Student Zhou Zhi, please sit here and take the test well..."
Not everyone Everyone likes the course of oracle bone inscription appreciation, and a large number of people are "ignorant of what is going on outside the window and only read the books of sages." Therefore, there are still a majority of people who don't know Zhou Zhi, and the students are very happy to see someone coming. Fill that gap right under the teacher's nose, and then be blissfully happy that the teacher didn't move all the students one row forward. In such a weird exam atmosphere, Zhou Zhi passed the exams one by one.
For more than a month, Zhou Zhi missed the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Treasures·Jade Sculpture Joint Exhibition of Yangyuetang Zhaoxitang Yangdetang Suzhou Jade Carving Factory" in Hong Kong Island.
This is the highest level jade carving exhibition so far. The three houses are all famous jade collectors on Hong Kong Island. They have collections of fine jade carvings from the Neolithic Age to the Qing Dynasty. Many of them are comparable to The treasures comparable to those in the National Museum of the Forbidden City are rarely put out for everyone to enjoy.
The most eye-catching thing here are several jade articles signed "Zigang".
The jade wares owned by the three collectors are from the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty respectively. One jade plaque comes from Lu Zigang's contemporaneity, and the rest are all later imitations.
However, the level of craftsmanship of these Zigang imitations is also very high, especially the three pieces produced by the internal production office during the Qianlong period, which are 90% similar.
However, it is several "contemporary Lu Zigang" from the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory who are hyping up the news in Hong Kong.
The standards of this jade carving exhibition are extremely high, and the country also attaches great importance to it. The minister of the Ministry of Light Industry of Suzhou Province personally led the team, the general manager of Suzhou Jade Carving Factory Yao Chong, the chief engineer Xu Zhimian led the team, Zhu Qinghong, Lu Man The three jade carving masters Zhang Mingyu and Zhang Mingyu were all on the list, and they also brought along their most capable apprentices, two new potential masters, Guo Changzheng and Lu Jianghua.
The exhibits brought are also a large showcase, most of which are not for sale. They are customized models made of jade materials provided by Zhou Zhi.
It’s funny to say that at present, the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory, in addition to undertaking national-level art works orders, can use the ultimate craftsmanship. The only remaining thing is the deposit and materials given by Zhou Zhi, which are worthy of a few master craftsmen. Carve carefully and bring your craft to the extreme.
The rest are more about "adapting to market demand", which means using ordinary materials and ordinary craftsmanship, so that most people can afford it.
After all, there are not many rich people in China who are not only rich but also like to collect high-end jade carvings.
So when the invitation letter from Hong Kong Island was sent to the factory, Yao Chong was completely dumbfounded. In this joint exhibition, the three collectors from Hong Kong Island took out their family’s treasures from the bottom of the box, and Li Qiyan was not interested in the jade carving factory. The requirement is to provide contemporary carvings with exquisite craftsmanship, similar themes, and similar categories as much as possible, together with ancient artifacts.
Before Zhou Zhi visited the jade carving factory, the jade carving factory received "national orders" and the relevant units would also put forward requirements, but basically they were to reflect the people's new life and praise the new era, and the themes were all high-end. , the character carvings are either modern or from ethnic minorities. I finally carved a statue of Shuiyue Guanyin, which has been put on display in the factory for a long time, and I can't find a next owner to take it over.
Nowadays, these finely crafted works are not wanted here at the Hong Kong Island Exhibition. Except for a batch that has been sent to Zhou Zhi and is being processed, the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory really has nothing to show for it.
The superior also said that this matter can only be done well, not badly! At the critical moment, all he could do was brainstorm. Fortunately, Xu Zhimian remembered that there should be a batch of jade articles carved by his master and two master workers in the factory more than five years ago in the warehouse of the Light Industry Department. There were about 20 or 30 pieces.
The jade quality of that batch of jade is similar to that of Zhou Zhi’s jade material. If the batch of jade sent to Zhou Zhi is borrowed back, plus the second batch that has been carved for him, it will be almost the same. Is it enough to cope with the exhibition?
So Yao Chong called Zhou Zhi again to discuss borrowing the exhibits.
