Lose From Poor God to Richest Man - Chapter 134

In order to lose money, Zhen Qiong founded the Wahuang hand-run company and asked him to hire woodcarvers and stone carvers, saying that it was to fill the vacancies in statues.

In Zhen Qiong’s view, whether it is wood carving or stone carving, it takes a lot of time and energy to complete the artwork.

If good materials are used again, then both money and time costs will rise steadily.

And compared with the more affordable hand-made and assembled models, the price of the statue is not something that can be taken over by any glue guy.

If you can’t sell the statue, but you still have to pay the craftsmen, don’t you lose the money?

But I didn’t expect that this Wahuang hand-run company hadn’t been completed yet! The statues can be sold, and there are many people who want to buy them, and they even actively said that it doesn’t matter if they are not carved so finely.

It’s very relevant, okay?

“How many engravers do we have now?” Zhen Qiong asked.

The matter has not reached the point where it is out of control, so there is still room for salvation. Zhen Qiong feels that he must handle it carefully, even if he can’t lose money, he has to make a lot less!

“There are ten woodcarvers and eight stonecarvers.”

“Are they fast to carve a statue?”

After thinking for a while, Li Hubai said: “The masters took five days to complete the two statues at the competition site, but they were sculpted by their combined efforts. If they were sculpted by themselves, the time would be extended several times. “

“There are also differences in materials, which will also affect the time of carving. We are lucky and just have good materials ready, otherwise even if the masters work together, it is estimated that it will take ten and a half months.”

Zhen Qiong nodded his head and said: “In the future, the masters can complete the statues alone. We recruit the craftsmen. In addition to filling the vacancies in the statues, we mainly want this craft to be passed on.”

“If all the masters work together to sculpt, wouldn’t their apprentice be fine? Without experience, how can they make progress? Not to mention inheritance.”

After taking out the small notebook, Li Hubai memorized it for a while and said: “President Zhen, I understand. It is not a problem to let the masters sculpt separately. Anyway, they already have their own places of work.”

Zhen Qiong had thought of this for a long time, so he continued: “As for the materials used for carving, just use…”

Zhen Qiong originally planned to use the most expensive materials to persuade the most people.

Imagine a wood carving or stone carving that sells for tens of millions of dollars. The carving is still a character in the game. It has no collection value. Even a local tyrant has no desire to buy it!

But unfortunately, this idea of ​​his was warned by the system. Unless someone customizes it, Zhen Qiong cannot turn ordinary statues into luxury items.

And it’s not environmentally friendly. The reason why expensive wood and stone are expensive is that besides their own characteristics, the most important thing is that they are scarce.

Things are precious!

Nowadays, many expensive woods are protected grade plants, which grow slowly. If you want to cut a tree, you need to go through layers of audits.

But even so, there are frequent cases of hacking and logging every year. Although the prisoners were caught by the police afterwards, the trees were cut down, and there was no way to revive the prisoners if they were caught.

If Zhen Qiong asks for the statues to use these wood materials, for the benefit, there will definitely be people who will take risks. By then, the trees that are already endangered will probably be extinct.

Stone is a non-renewable resource, but the same is true, not to mention unrestrained mining of stone, it will cause huge damage to the mountain and cause extremely bad ecological impact.

“Got it! I was wrong! Stop scolding! Any more scolding children will be stupid!”

Listening to the systematic and righteous preaching, Zhen Qiong quickly confessed his mistake. He also had a whim and wanted to use this method to achieve the goal of losing money.

But after learning that the consequences were serious, he decisively gave up this idea. Compared with reinforced concrete and the polluted environment, Zhen Qiong liked the vibrant nature more.

“Engraving materials, just use the materials that the masters usually use! Of course, it must be the best material in this grade, and it must be legal and environmentally friendly.”

The wood used by woodcarvers is generally from economic forest farms.

In the economic forest farm, the growth cycle of the trees planted is very fast, usually one or two years can grow to about ten meters in height, and the diameter is almost the same as that of a truck tire.

As long as planning is done, tons of wood can be produced every year.

With these timbers injected into the market to meet the basic needs of the market, those protected forests can also be a little more settled.

As for some of the more expensive trees, many of them were cut down after natural death and flowed into the market to make furniture or wood carvings to give play to their final value.

However, because there are too many monks and porridge, trees like this can only be obtained by means of access or means, not just having money.

The stone materials are similar. They all come from state-owned or legally private quarries. With the area of ​​Longhuang Kingdom, it can be said that the land is vast and rich in resources.

If only ordinary stones are mined, the stones will not be exhausted in a billion years.

Li Hubai again wrote in his small notebook and said after earnestly: “President Zhen, I know, there will never be any black spots in this matter.”

“Also, every time a statue is sold, a 20% commission is given to the carving master.”

“Okay. Mr. Zhen.”

Although Qiongshen’s treatment and benefits are good, in general, the woodcarving and stone carving craftsmen are not in a very good situation today.

The main reason is that the machine is too developed, especially the recent rise of 3D printing technology.

Whether it is wood carving or stone carving, or other carvings, no matter how complicated it is, the machine can make it.

In the past, craftsmen could only sculpt a statue after studying for most of their lives, and the machine only needed to import drawings.

There is also the speed and quantity of carving, which are not the same as those of the craftsmen who inherit the old craftsmanship.

Therefore, under the impact of the engraving factory, the artisans have no power to fight back.

Moreover, these old crafts are hard work and can not make money. Young people are unwilling to learn, and the older generation of craftsmen is getting older and there is a risk of breaking the inheritance at any time.

Therefore, Zhen Qiong doesn’t mind, giving the craftsmen a commission on the original salary, as long as the industry can make money, even if the enclosure is spontaneous, it is not afraid of breaking the inheritance.

Not only can you lose money, but also make a little contribution to traditional craftsmanship, killing two birds with one stone.

As for those carving factories, will they follow the carving of statues? No need to worry about it.

Long Huangguo is very strict on copyright. If he does not get the authorization, he will engrave the role of the IP under the name of Qiongshen, and he will be fined or even jailed.

In particular, there is another Qiongshen who is thinking about the legal department that is fighting the eight wilderness all day long.

Sculpture factories, teams and individuals who dare to sculpt and sell privately or make money through other methods are afraid that they will be sued for bankruptcy.

“Also, the precision of engraving must be high. You must not ignore any detail in a hurry. If you find a perfunctory situation…”

When Zhen Qiong said this, Kun Yuxin on the side took over and said: “The money will be deducted in the light, and the dismissal will be the most serious. If there is any violation of law and discipline, it will be directly handed over to the Legal Department.”

Kun Yuxin’s tone was flat, but Li Hubai could still hear her, the unsparing face in the words.

“In the future, we must never make President Kun angry!”

After warning himself in his heart, Li Hubai quickly wrote it down in his notebook.

“By the way, Li Zhuce is not the person in charge of Wahuang’s hand-run company! If you leave the statue to him, will he be a little bit weak?” Kun Yuxin asked.

“Indeed. But I haven’t found a suitable candidate yet, so I can only let Lao Bai bear it first.” Zhen Qiong asked Wen Wan’er to find talents in this area before.

However, the applicants are too reliable. Zhen Qiong is afraid of making money, so he has not decided on a candidate for a long time.

“Or, how about we hold a competition?” Kun Yuxin suggested.
