"What, don't you understand?" Chen Nanshan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Xiao Zhang nodded.

"Actually, it's very understandable, Xiao Zhang, let me ask you, you have now won the first gold medal in the national joint exhibition of Ru porcelain, do you think you still have room to move forward on the road of Ru porcelain?" Chen Nanshan asked.

Xiao Zhang pondered for a moment, then nodded.

I definitely have room to move forward.

The Ru porcelain fired by himself is indeed very good, which can be seen from heaven and earth, the sun and the moon.

But can Xiao Zhang say that he has reached the top?

This obviously can't, because Xiao Zhang knows that there is still a long way to go before the real peak, and he is now just firing Ru porcelain better than most people.

can be ranked in the country, but in the real Ru porcelain world, there are more excellent Ru porcelain, Xiao Zhang thinks that he can continue to improve.

In other words, Xiao Zhang thinks that even if his Ru porcelain reaches the current level, there is still room for improvement.

Xiao Zhang believes that he will be able to fire better Ru porcelain in the future.

"Yes, I know what you have in mind, but I can tell you that the Ru porcelain fired in Ruzhou last time was my limit, it looks good, the top ten, but what...... This is how the Ru porcelain I fired four or five years ago, I haven't improved it for a long time, and this is me, the tallest person standing under the invisible ceiling! Because this is the level that ordinary craftsmen may fire in this life, and I have seen too many people like me. Chen Nanshan sighed and said.

Without waiting for Xiao Zhang to speak, Chen Nanshan continued: " You don't have to comfort me at this point, I know, there are so many craftsmen in the world, hundreds of thousands or even millions of craftsmen, most of them are the same as me, and you are different, any craftsman who can pass the ranking in the national competition has crossed this invisible ceiling, your future is endless, you may be moving forward all your life, the craftsman who can break through this point may be a small group of people since ancient times, I have thought that I should also belong to such a person since I was a child, but until I grew up, I slowly felt that I was the same as those ordinary craftsmen I once looked down on, I was separated by an invisible ceiling, unable to continue to progress, this life may be burned like this, and I will not have the opportunity to become a person who can stand at the top like you in the future!"

Xiao Zhang listened to Chen Nanshan's words and fell silent.

What is the ...... Makes sense.

This is true of any artisan's trade.

Even the creators of any craftsman and the entire art industry.

Whether it is porcelain burning, jade carving, calligraphy, ink painting, or even lacquerware, wood carving, ivory carving, embroidery, etc......

There are many inheritors of these old crafts, but there are only a few people who are really at the top.

Some seem to be fixed in this life, and it is impossible to go further, and there are too many unknown craftsmen.

It's not that they don't want to forge ahead, but they really reach a bottleneck and can't break through.

Otherwise, why are there always so many people who are famous in all walks of life?

There are only a few people who can be remembered.

Chen Nanshan's analogy is very appropriate.

In an industry where craftsmen have no ceiling, no one knows what the pinnacle is?

The best fired is always the next piece in the future.

And there will also be an invisible ceiling that will hold down most people, so that they can't break through!

Chen Nanshan said that he was the tallest under the invisible ceiling, which means that although he was the best among these mediocre craftsmen, he met a great god like Xiao Zhang......

will also be crushed......

So?

"So I'm very depressed now, because what is going to happen next is likely to change our family's status in Jingdezhen is the survival situation!" Chen Nanshan shook his head and said.

This......

Xiao Zhang was a little incomprehensible.

Chen Nanshan's family is also a famous porcelain master in Jingdezhen, and there are so many kilns below, operating for many years, to be invited to participate in the exhibition of the National Ceramics Joint Exhibition, it must be so many years of painstaking management, how can it be changed so thoroughly?

What exactly is it?

Looking at Xiao Zhang's inquiring gaze, Chen Nanshan continued: " I still remember the National Ceramics Joint Exhibition a few days ago, our family was invited to participate in the exhibition, because this kind of exhibition is that porcelain dealers from all over the country take their own porcelain to the exhibition, looking for new opportunities, and this year there will be a key cooperation project, according to the person in charge of the blue and white porcelain group, it should be to carry out the joint exhibition of the world's blue and white porcelain, and it is expected that about 100 countries around the world will establish a Chinese porcelain propaganda hall, and each kind of porcelain will choose the best one as a porcelain supplier in this 100 countries!" Chen Nanshan looked at Xiao Zhang and said.

Xiao Zhang nodded, it seems that he heard the teacher Tang Qingchuan say this.

The teacher is in charge of the Ru porcelain group, it is said that there are many opportunities and a lot of profits in some industrial chains, according to the teacher, he will choose those areas that need help, one is to choose the local culture of the factory, and the other is poverty alleviation, this is the teacher's choice standard.

Although I don't know which Ru porcelain the teacher chose, I think it should be going to the Su family in Ruzhou, right?

But who is in charge of this blue and white porcelain, Xiao Zhang is completely unclear.

"Once this project is implemented, even if a country's porcelain museum needs 100 pieces of porcelain, 100 countries are also 10,000 pieces, not including the publicity, the follow-up of the countries of the unknown countless large number of orders, this will be a subversive business opportunity, who is selected, it can almost be concluded that in the next few years this will become the country's largest supplier of similar porcelain, set up a monopoly...... We have countless porcelain families in Jingdezhen, and this time we want to participate in the blue and white porcelain, and our Chen family naturally has a quota, but our family is the best master...... It's not as good as I burned, and I'm ...... Like I said, I stand at the top under the invisible ceiling, but what's the use, to see this opportunity lost? And then wait for the next few years to be sidelined, waiting to be acquired, to be monopolized, and then to work for others?" This is Chen Nanshan's visible future......

Xiao Zhang finally understood what Chen Nanshan's problem was.

Now Jingdezhen seems to be calm, and everyone restricts each other and shares this big cake together.

But the next change is who becomes the same porcelain global supplier in the future, who will become bigger and bigger in the future, and finally monopolize the whole industry, and the choice of other peers who are squeezed is either to lose their jobs, or to be acquired and assimilated......

Chen Nanshan's worries are not unreasonable......

Because he's really weaker......

But Xiao Zhang was also distressed...... My own blue and white porcelain is only entry-level...... Can't help at all!

The matter of Chen Nanshan is also intentionally killing the enemy, and he has no power to return to heaven......

Why don't you give Su Darong a call?

Ask if the Su family in Ruzhou needs to do it themselves?

There is no problem in helping the Su family earn the first place in Ru porcelain......

But it seems that this Ru porcelain is the responsibility of his own teacher, and the teacher should have his own unique ideas......

Oops, Xiao Zhang patted his head, this Chen Nanshan was still sad, so he slipped away to study Ru porcelain!
