Chapter 183: Just a Fee for Running Errands (1 update)
The two people’s friend circles overlap to a certain extent, after all, they are both big names in the calligraphy circle. As
soon as these two friend circles were posted, the two immediately became the most followed people in the friend circle. Not only that, they were also the most envied and hated.
After all, this is Chengxintang paper!
Looking at the countless likes and comments in the friend circle, the two were so proud and complacent, they were simply very happy.
The sense of superiority that others don’t have made the two people feel extremely happy.
At the end, Zhao Xuhuai also introduced Sang Yian to a talent who makes traditional handmade paper. If possible, he can start work tomorrow.
Sang Yian was so happy.
The formalities were almost all gone. The garment factory had completely become history. Now it was a brand new paper mill, and it was still paper milling using the traditional method.
After agreeing to bring the professional here tomorrow, Zhao Xuhuai and Liang Yongdong were sent home by Yuan Yuan.
Both of them felt that they had gained a lot today.
Liang Yongdong was smiling all the way. Not only did he show off in front of his competitor Qin Wenbo today, but he also got 10 sheets of Chengxintang paper!
Satisfied!
Zhao Xuhuai was thinking that he had not only solved the work problem of his old friend's son, but also solved the problem of the lack of talent for his young apprentice, and got Chengxintang paper. He also showed off in his circle of friends. It was a really fulfilling day!
However, things that go from happiness to sadness happen from time to time.
When they returned home, they encountered similar problems.
Liang Yongdong was blocked by several friends before he entered the building.
Eight people took away a piece of Chengxintang paper from him. The other party was outnumbered and he had no ability to resist.
These people were like bandits and robbers. No, they cannot be called bandits and robbers, because they still gave him money.
One person transferred 10,000 yuan to him, and he received 80,000 yuan in transfers, but lost eight pieces of Chengxintang paper.
Liang Yongdong was simply in tears.
"I say, is it really okay for you to force me to buy something like this? I'm not buying on behalf of others?"
"Lao Liang, how can you say that? We have been brothers for more than 40 years. Wouldn't it be awkward to talk about buying and selling? However, you worked so hard to bring the Chengxintang paper back from the small supermarket. How can I, as your brother , say nothing?"
"You're right! Lao Liang, we have been brothers for so many years. How vulgar is it to talk about money? The money I transferred to you was not used to buy Chengxintang paper. I was just giving you a fee for running errands!"
Liang Yongdong: "..."
Thank you, I don't want to have brothers like you!
"It is said that we should share happiness and difficulties. You have 10 pieces of Chengxintang paper, and you brothers have also benefited from them. Didn't we also leave two for you? You have one more than us!"
Liang Yongdong said expressionlessly: "Should I thank you?"
"No, no! No need to be so polite, we are all brothers! What are you thanking me for!"
Liang Yongdong: "..."
He didn't want to talk.
After sending away this group of shameless brothers, Liang Yongdong didn't go into the building. He squatted under a peach tree and made a video call to Zhao Xuhuai, accusing the group of animals who stole his Chengxintang paper.
"Old Zhao! Those people are such bad people! This is the reward for my hard work! They only left me two! Only two!"
Zhao Xuhuai had a blank expression on his face, "Haha, that's good, I only have one left."
Liang Yongdong then noticed his expression of despair, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly understood everything.
He suddenly didn't feel so bad.
Sure enough, happiness is all about contrast.
"Next time, you must not post on WeChat Moments again!" Zhao Xuhuai said in a deep voice.
Liang Yongdong agreed, "Yes! I must remember it next time! I can only post on Weibo!"
The two hung up the phone miserably.
Of course, the two of them had many friends in distress, and although they said they paid the money, everyone was a smart person and knew the importance of Chengxintang paper. Ten thousand yuan was really nothing.
If you take someone else's paper, you owe them a favor, and you must repay this favor.
The two of them were not polite and immediately mobilized everyone to find someone with experience in ancient papermaking.
They are all calligraphy and painting enthusiasts, and they have come into contact with a lot of traditional handmade paper, so they naturally have some understanding of related practitioners.
Finding relevant talents is not that difficult for these people.
It can be said that these two people are also worried about Sang Yian's paper mill.
Although it is in the suburbs, it takes a lot of money to buy such a large clothing factory!
It has already been produced, and with the popularity of the small supermarket, it can be sold as soon as possible!
*
Early the next morning, Zhao Xuhuai took people directly to Sang Yian's paper mill.
Nowadays, there are not many people who know how to make paper by ancient methods. The art of making Xuan paper has long been rated as an intangible cultural heritage. However, this is not the mainstream. Not many people have mastered this skill. Many people have been doing this for generations.
With the development of science and technology, the advancement of modern papermaking technology, and the development of mechanization, the production cost has been reduced, and the selling price has also dropped significantly.
The pure handmade ancient Xuan paper takes a long time, has high costs, and is also expensive. It has no competitiveness in the market.
Many small workshops that make Xuan paper have closed down.
The workers in the workshops can only change their careers.
Li Lihong is one of them, but he is even worse. He is the son of the owner of a small workshop. The Xuan paper in the workshop has no market, and everyone can't make money, so naturally they can only find other ways out.
Li Lihong is just like this, but he graduated from junior high school and has no education. Even if he went out to work, he could only move bricks on the construction site.
He has always lived in the mountains and is a simple person. He was either deceived or bullied. He moved bricks on the construction site for half a year and did not get paid.
If Zhao Xuhuai had not always liked to buy rice paper from Li Lihong's workshop, was familiar with Li Lihong's father, learned about his work, and helped him get his salary back, he might have worked for nothing.
Originally, Zhao Xuhuai wanted to find him a reliable job like a security guard.
Later, he heard that Sang Yian opened a paper mill and wanted to reproduce watermark paper, but was in need of professionals. He thought that Li Lihong was just the right person, so he introduced Li Lihong to her.
The ancient papermaking process is a very cumbersome process. Let’s not talk about other things, just talk about watermark paper, which has more than 100 processes, big and small.
Moreover, in the production process, there is no clear data, and time is used to measure it. There is only a vague state in the papermaking method, and this can only be done by experience.
It can be said that this is a technical job.
Sang Yian has been doing experiments and researching, but she has not studied this deeply before, so she needs professionals at this time.
Li Lihong came at the right time.
In Sang Yian's eyes, this dark-faced, muscular man is a senior technician. Sang Yian even asked Anle about the salary of senior technicians in Ancheng.
