Chapter 961 Request for Cooperation

Hearing that he was asked to help again for no reason, Liu? did not show any impatience, but pretended to listen attentively, "Please go ahead."

Bang felt comforted by her attitude, and his tone naturally became softer. "In the past two years, the trend of Chinese character tattoos has been rising in the United States. Dozens of my clients, including J, have plans to get Chinese characters tattooed. I think you should have seen the Chinese character reference pictures I sent to Jason."

Liu nodded.

"What do you think of those words?"

"Uh..." Liu was speechless. She couldn't give a bad review in front of the owner.

Bang laughed and said, "Is it terrible? I can't read those characters at all, and I don't know how to write them. I am really helpless in Chinese, and I can't refuse the customer's request. I can only find these things on the Internet to deal with customers."

Jason laughed angrily, "Your client - I'm right here, how dare you say that."

"Hey, we are brothers, aren't we? You have to understand me," Bang said to Liu, grinning, "I have been planning to find a Chinese character consultant who is not only proficient in the profound meaning of Chinese characters, but can also design Chinese character patterns for my clients. However, in fact, some people can't even write the 26 letters of the English alphabet crookedly, which is extremely ugly. Until I met you and saw your calligraphy, I had a strong hunch that you are the one I'm looking for!"

Liu? roughly understood, "Do you want your customers to have my calligraphy tattooed on their bodies?"

...

...

"Bingo, that's what I mean," Bang looked at her with a look of great ambition in his eyes, "You write on paper, and I tattoo it on people's skin. I heard that you are a young calligrapher in China, and your calligraphy has a high value, but you probably don't know how big the world tattoo market is. My customer base is all over America, Europe and Australia. In this way, your calligraphy works are not only limited to China, but can also be promoted all over the world."

Bang was very cunning. He put the benefits in front of Liu first and painted a big pie, so that he could have the dominant power on the price.

However, he underestimated Liu?'s intelligence. Liu? looked simple, but that didn't mean she was stupid. Her original purpose of writing to Jason was just to ask him to help her to make Li Xiaoru's reputation as a "pianist" more famous. However, she didn't expect that the business opportunity came so unexpectedly and suddenly.

While Bang was talking, her mind was working fast. It is undeniable that Liu Jin followed Professor Su's teachings and put her calligraphy on the Internet for the appreciation of both the elite and the masses among netizens. Learning calligraphy is still in its infancy. She has only taken the first step and does not dare to think of such an exaggerated goal as to promote it to the world.

Bang's proposal was very appealing to her. Not to mention that tattoos were taboo in her time, even in modern China, many people still maintain traditional concepts and associate tattoos with bad men and bad women. However, in the United States and other Western countries, tattoos are very popular. Most Americans regard tattoos as a kind of art. They will tattoo their favorite things on their bodies as a souvenir. If you want Americans to understand Chinese calligraphy and Chinese culture, tattoos are a better choice than collecting a thin piece of paper that is not easy to preserve - they may not understand how to frame calligraphy and paintings.

Liu asked Bang, "How much do you charge for tattoos?" She hadn't seen the price list all the way in.

Bang didn't expect her to ask him the most important question directly. Jason whispered in his ear, "Don't think she's young and easy to fool. She's also a businesswoman. She sells good cat food. You have to talk business with her seriously."

Actually, Bang didn't mean to cheat Liu?. As a businessman, he values ​​profit more. "The cost of a tattoo is determined by several factors. The first is the size of the pattern. The larger the pattern, the higher the price. However, small and detailed patterns are not cheap either. The second is the type of pattern. Do you want an original hand-painted one, or one that you can find online, or you can bring your own pictures? The prices are all different. The third factor is the qualifications of the tattoo artist. For the same pattern, I charge $5,000 more than my apprentice. In addition, colored tattoos are more expensive than pure black ones. In general, the price is random and varies from person to person. Every customer is different."

Flexible pricing means huge profits. Just like the previous Fuxin Pet Hospital, they charge whatever they ask. Liu was lost in thought. Should she also set prices in this way? One price for each piece of calligraphy, one price for each character, or a profit-sharing agreement?

In fact, Bang hadn't thought it through. He hadn't expected to meet a suitable Chinese character consultant so soon, so he wasn't mentally prepared at all. "J said you'll be in the US for a few more days. Let's take this time to calm down and think carefully. There's no rush."

Liu? thought of another question, "After I return to China, if you need it, do I have to mail my calligraphy to you?"

Hearing this, Bang and Jason laughed as if they had heard a big joke. Bang asked, "Oh my God, do you think I'm painting patterns on people's bodies?"
