Chapter 961: Request for Cooperation
Hearing that she wanted to help again for no reason, Liu Yan did not show the slightest impatience, and made a posture of listening to her ears, "Please speak." ”
Her attitude made Bang feel ironed, and his tone naturally became softer, "In the past two years in the United States, the trend of Chinese character tattoos has risen, and dozens of my clients, including J, have plans to tattoo Chinese, I think you should have seen the Chinese character reference image I sent to Jason." ”
Liu Yan nodded.
"What do you think of those words?"
"Forehead......" Liu Yan was speechless, she couldn't say a bad review in front of the main owner.
Bang laughed, "Isn't it terrible?" I can't read those words, I don't know how to write the analogy, I really can't do anything in Chinese, and I can't refuse the needs of customers, so I can only go online to find these things to deal with customers." ”
Jason laughed angrily, "Your client - I'm here, how dare you say it." ”
"Hey, we're brothers, aren't we? you have to be considerate of me," Bang grinned and said to Liu, "I've always been looking for a Chinese character consultant who is not only proficient in the profound meaning of Chinese characters, but also can design Chinese character patterns for my clients, but in fact, some people even write the 26 letters of English crookedly, which is extremely ugly, until I met you and read your calligraphy, I have a strong hunch that you are the one I am looking for!"
Liu Yan roughly understood, "Do you want your customers to tattoo my calligraphy on their bodies?"
"Bingo, that's what I mean," Bang looked at her with a big picture 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 is very valuable, but I am afraid you don't understand how big the world tattoo market is, and my customer base is all over the Americas, Europe and Australia, so that your calligraphy works are not only limited to China, but can also be promoted all over the world. ”
Bang is very cunning, first put the benefits in front of Liu Yan and draw a big pie, so that he can dominate the price.
However, he underestimated Liu Yan's IQ, Liu Yan looks simple, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, her original purpose of writing to Jason was just to ask him to help as a trust, so that Li Xiaoru's reputation as a "pianist" is even louder, but she didn't expect the business opportunity to come so unexpectedly and suddenly.
While Bang is speaking, her brain is also running rapidly, it is undeniable that Liu Yan strictly followed Professor Su's teachings, put calligraphy on the Internet, and appreciated it with netizens.
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 the traditional concept of associating tattoos with bad men and bad women, but in the United States and other Western countries, tattoos are very popular, and most Americans regard tattoos as an art category, and they will tattoo their favorite things on their bodies as souvenirs. If Americans want to learn about Chinese calligraphy and Chinese culture, tattoos are a better choice than collecting a thin piece of paper that is not easy to keep, and they cannot learn how to frame calligraphy and paintings.
Liu Yan asked Bang, "How much do you charge for tattoos?" All the way in, she didn't see the price list.
Bang didn't think she could ask him the most important question directly, Jason said in his ear, "Don't think she's young and foolish, she's also a businessman, she sells cat food well, you have to talk to her seriously." ”
In fact, Bang didn't mean to pit Liu Yan, businessmen, more important interests, "The cost of tattoos is determined by several factors, the first is the size of the pattern, the larger the pattern, the higher the price, but the small and fine picture is not cheap; Overall, the price is random, varies from person to person, and is different for every customer. ”
Flexible pricing means huge profits, just like the previous Fuxin Pet Hospital, shouting how much is what, Liu Yan fell into thought, should she also set the price in this way?
In fact, Bang didn't think about it, he didn't expect to meet a suitable Chinese character consultant so soon, and he was not mentally prepared at all. "J said you'll be in the U.S. for a few more days, and we'll all take advantage of this time to calm down and think about it, and things are not in a hurry. ”
Liu Yan thought of another question, "After I go back to China, if you need it, do I have to mail you the calligraphy I wrote?"
Bang and Jason were overjoyed as if they had heard a big joke, and Bang asked, "My God, do you think I'm drawing patterns on human bodies?"
Liu Yan was puzzled, "Isn't it?"
The tattoo she imagined was that the tattoo artist drew directly on the human skin, and if it was colored, she would fill in the color according to the pattern, which was the ancient way of tattooing, and she was even worried that Bang would not be able to imitate and draw her handwriting, after all, the ancient copying and rubbing could not be exactly the same as the original. As everyone knows, with modern technology, tattoos are very simple.
The two men laughed louder.
"It seems that you have no understanding of how tattoo artists work, and we don't need your original calligraphy. So let's get a tattoo of J now, and you can see the whole process on the side. ”
Bang called an assistant to come in, and the assistant picked up the seal script version that Liu Yan had just written, "Within the Four Seas, All Brothers", after so long, the ink was dry, he carefully put the paper in the scanner, scanned every word, and transmitted the electronic version to the computer.
Bang asked Jason, "Are you sure each word is only 1.5 inches?"
"yes, I don't want to make it too big. ”
"Shrink to 1.5 inches, pay attention to the proportions of the kanji, and don't distort them," Bang commanded the assistant.
"Okay," said the assistant, skillfully using image software, to modify the eight characters to the size Jason requires.
Bang asked Jason to go to the office, the tattoo equipment was inside, a comfortable leather bed, with two layers of sterile cloth on it, Jason took off the whole shirt, **** lay down on the bed. At the same time, Bang put on a mask, put on antibacterial clothes, he was going to disinfect and start preparing for the tattoo.
Seeing this situation, Liu Yan felt like they were going to have an operation.
"Come in, don't be nervous," Jason tilted his head and fingered at Liu.
Liu Yan didn't listen to the greeting, she only stood by the door, she had to keep a distance from the **** man, and she was afraid that she would have germs or something on her body, which would hinder other people's work. On the other end, the assistant walked in with a long strip of paper that had just been printed out with a printing device.
