Chapter 614 Today I really opened my eyes!
The words "I understand" warmed the hearts of several people!
No one understood them for too long! They almost thought that they were also feudal remnants and should be banned.
As for how much money...
The man pointed to several 30-centimeter-high vases and said, "These are big, they use a lot of materials, and they took a long time to make. How about 10 yuan each? If not, we can negotiate!"
"These small ones are 5 yuan each?" he asked nervously.
10 yuan, which is one-third of an average person’s monthly salary, is not cheap to buy a vase; it is simply a luxury.
But he had no choice, as there was probably only three dollars for labor, and the rest was for materials.
Real cloisonné enamel uses dyes made from ground gemstones, such as turquoise and cinnabar, which are very expensive.
And there will be losses, which depends on skills and luck. Some people waste 10 times the materials to make a finished product, and some people have good skills and good luck, but there is no guarantee that they will succeed every time.
So the price is really not expensive, and you will have to pay money if you are too picky.
Cheng Hui shook her head: "This price is not acceptable."
When a few men looked miserable, there was nothing that could be done.
Although they want to pass on their skills, they don't have the money to invest, and they still have to pay for it at any time.
Cheng Hui said: "This price is too cheap, it doesn't match its value. This type of vase is 30 yuan each, and this small item is 15 yuan each."
The men were stunned, surprised, happy and nervous.
"This, this, this can't be sold, right?" said the leading man.
He was also afraid of this. If they couldn't sell them, Cheng Hui would stop buying them. Then they would still have no extra income and would not be able to do their craft anymore.
"Don't worry, as long as the quality can be guaranteed to be excellent, I will help you sell as much as you make." Cheng Hui said.
She likes enamel and knows a little about it. Enamel of this level is only made by master craftsmen.
In the future, if the masters are packaged a little bit, one of their works can start at tens of thousands, and it will be easy to sell for hundreds of thousands.
If you go the wrong way and try to fake antiques, you can make more money.
Anyway, she couldn't afford the loss and couldn't sell them, so she just kept them all for herself!
But she still asked: "How many people are there in your sect? How many pieces can you make in a month?"
"There are only six of us left. We have other jobs and we're not together. We can only make 10 pieces a month at most, and most of them are small ones," said the man.
Cheng Hui was worried, but she was still afraid that they could only make a hundred or eighty pieces a month, which would be a bit too much.
She has other things to buy with her money.
10 pieces is easy.
"Go ahead and do it, but the quality must be good." Cheng Hui asked the secretary and the financial officer to come over, write a receipt, and give the money.
The four men walked out of the office with 800 yuan in their hands.
They have had these things for several years. They have set up stalls to sell them at market times, but not a single one was sold.
They knew the location was wrong, but what could they do? If no one buys at the rural fair, will anyone buy it in the city? There is not even a market in the city!
But antique shops don’t accept them! They say their stuff is not old and is a fake!
The scrap collection station does accept them, vases for 1 yuan each and bowls for 50 cents each.
Sell privately? Wouldn't that be speculation? They dare not.
Several men held the money with red eyes.
Their future paths seemed a little different.
No, in other words, they can go back to their old ways and make money with their skills!
Director Cheng is such a good person!
......
After seeing off the four people, Cheng Huikan started to unpack the boxes!
In an age without express delivery and online shopping, she could still experience the joy of unboxing!
And it's free!
And everything inside is a surprise!
Cheng Hui was overjoyed.
Soon, the large table in the conference room was filled.
There are bamboo fans, boxes, chests, mats, and even bamboo vest pajamas!
Not to mention, it’s cool and breathable when worn close to the skin, and most importantly, it doesn’t trap sweat hair. What a master!
There are also various intangible cultural heritage artificial flowers, silk flowers, paper flowers, velvet flowers, and twined flowers.
Each one looks like the real thing!
Especially the chrysanthemums made of tongcao flowers, they look so real!
Many people have never seen it.
Even though silk flowers are considered a specialty of the capital, these young people in the capital have never seen them.
It was almost destroyed as a feudal remnant back then.
Gao Zhi exclaimed beside him: "These are good, these are good, much better looking than those fake flowers in the department store, they will definitely sell well!"
Nowadays, it is popular among people to put flowers or something at home, which looks beautiful.
Real flowers are delicate and not everyone can grow them. Artificial flowers are perfect, but the artificial flowers made with current technology are not considered beautiful by people with little knowledge.
A touch of these intangible cultural heritage handmade fake flowers will instantly sell them out.
When Cheng Hui published her advertisement in the newspaper, she also published a form.
Ask the other party to fill in their address and selling price.
If she thinks it is appropriate, she can directly transfer the money to the other party. If she thinks it is not appropriate, she can call or write to discuss it.
Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, she will send the postage to the other party according to the address above.
Now every artificial flower has a price tag, the cheapest is 30 cents, the most expensive is 1 yuan...
The cost of these artificial flowers is not expensive, but the trouble lies in the labor, and the most troublesome ones require dozens of processes.
Cheng Hui doubled the other party's selling price and would make a note to explain it when transferring the money.
And when she sells it, the price will have to double, or even several times higher...
After taking apart the artificial flowers, they took out several boxes of Suzhou embroidery and kesi silk.
There was no other adjective, she could only say that each piece was exquisite!
There were also some people gathered in the conference room.
These are the people selected by Cheng Hui to be in charge of the commercial street in the future.
Originally, these people had no idea about Cheng Hui opening a large supply and marketing cooperative, especially a Taobao area, and instead found it baffling.
It’s bad enough to just sell handicrafts, but you’re also collecting them from all over the country? Is it necessary?
Now they know, it is so necessary! These things will definitely sell because they want them so much!
Many are a bit expensive and unaffordable.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t afford them, they are just there and they will be happy to see them every day!
After the embroidery, there are also various bamboo carvings, wood carvings, and jade carvings that are so fascinating that people can’t put them down.
Especially some young people, most of whom lived before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China and have never seen these good things.
Gao Zhi told the truth: "I have finally opened my eyes today!"
The others nodded repeatedly.
Even a few children of high-ranking officials who came from very good backgrounds nodded vigorously.
They haven’t seen it either!
In the past, I had only seen a few items, such as embroidery, collectibles, and jade that the elderly in my family liked.
Now there are dozens or even hundreds of them displayed in a room, which is too shocking for them.
And they know that this is just the appetizer, and there will be more to come in the first two days.
Just thinking about that scene...my scalp tingles!
They have a hunch that their elders, or the bigwigs in their elders’ circle of friends, will come to visit from time to time!
"This Taobao area is going to be popular!" A young man said, "Our commercial street is going to be popular! Factory Director, you are so talented!"
