Chapter 341: Partnership (Part II)
"I have to be idle to joke with you......"
After the casino and the later arrest, the relationship between Man Jun and Fang Yi is also one step closer, it can be said that in addition to the three guns and the fat man, Man Jun is the most trusted person by Fang Yi in business, and he has no scruples when talking to Fang Yi.
"Brother Man, aren't you at a loss if we cooperate like this?"
Fang Yi calculated, the Manchu army spends an extra 70,000 or 80,000 yuan every year, accounting for less than 20% of the shares, which clearly shows that he is letting his three brothers take advantage, since he came down the mountain, the Manchu army has taken care of their brothers a lot, Fang Yi doesn't want the Manchu army to suffer.
"Suffer, he doesn't suffer......
Zhao Hongtao sneered when he heard this, and said: "Lao Man does antique business, which is to earn one or two million a year, and with you, as long as he can seize high-end customers, there is no problem at all in selling twenty or thirty million sales a year, you calculate, even if he accounts for 20% of the shares, how much money can he make this year?"
"Can you sell so much?" Fang Yi still didn't know the bottom in his heart, he was not afraid that the Manchu army would take advantage, but he was afraid that this cooperation would make the Manchu army lose money.
"Just rely on these things in your hands......" Zhao Hongtao pointed to the stack of business cards that Fang Yi was holding, and said: "If Lao Man can't sell sales of twenty or thirty million a year, then he shouldn't mix in this circle......"
"Brother Man, what Brother Zhao said is true?"
Fang Yi looked back at Man Jun, although his business in the antique market was good, but if he died in a month, he would earn tens of thousands of yuan, and this time it had risen to the level of tens of millions, Fang Yi suddenly had a little unreal feeling in his heart.
"Director Zhao is right, but it's not so easy to ......"
Man Jun nodded and said, "The first two years will definitely not work, I will spend two years building your brand." Once everyone has approved of your work, these connections can play a key role......"
Although Zhao Hongtao knows the antique market very well, in the business field, he is not as professional as Man Jun after all, and before proposing to partner with Fang Yi, Man Jun has analyzed the pros and cons of this matter. I also have a rough plan in mind.
Although Fang Yi has now worshiped two famous teachers, he can only enhance his fame in the circle, and for those predator-level collectors, this fame does not mean anything.
The people who handed Fang Yi's business card today were only more optimistic about Fang Yi's future, and they hadn't seen Fang Yi's works, the reason why they were interested in Fang Yi was more because of Lan Lian's offer of five million, maybe after going back. A lot of people forget about it.
Therefore, there are many things that need to be done to cooperate with Fang Yi, not only to improve the popularity of Fang Yi's works, but also to communicate with those big collectors, and the statement that he will not make money for two years can still be established.
"Well, there is some truth in what you said, but Lao Man, how are you going to build Fang Yi's brand?"
Zhao Hongtao asked with interest. Although he is an expert in museums, he also has a deep understanding of the antique market. In recent years, Zhao Hongtao's art investment has also earned him a lot of money.
"First, I want Fang Yi to participate in the sculpture art competition held by the state, and with Fang Yi's ability, it is absolutely no problem to win a gold medal......
"Well, this Fang Yi can participate. It should be no problem to win the award......"
Zhao Hongtao nodded when he heard this, the art carving competition that the Manjun said, including root carving, jade carving, stone carving and other materials, has been held for four or five sessions, and most of the participants are young craftsmen. Those who win awards are often worth more and have some influence in the circle.
More importantly, Zhao Hongtao knew that half of the judges of this art carving competition were members of Qin Haichuan's Calligraphy, Painting and Seal Carvers Association, and if Fang Yi participated in the competition, there would definitely be no one else for this gold medal except him.
"The second is that I want to apply for the title of national arts and crafts master for Fang Yi......" Man Jun hesitated a little, and then said his second thought.
"Lao Man, this can't be nonsense, Fang Yi is not qualified ......" Hearing Manjun's words, Zhao Hongtao, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly became solemn.
"Why is Fang Yi not qualified enough?" Man Jun said very seriously: "As far as craftsmanship is concerned, I have never seen anyone whose jade carving skills can surpass Fang Yi, even those famous teachers of the older generation can't, Fang Yi is fully qualified for this......
"I didn't mean that, I mean, Fang Yi is not qualified for selection......" Before the Manchu army finished speaking, Zhao Hongtao opened his mouth to interrupt the Manchu army's words.
"Hey, I said don't quarrel with the two of you, what is a national arts and crafts master? You should explain it to me first......" Seeing that Zhao Hongtao and Manjun had a tendency to quarrel, Fang Yi hurriedly interjected, and he was still confused, and the two of them almost blushed.
"Master of Arts and Crafts is a national title awarded to domestic arts and crafts creators......"
Zhao Hongtao saw that Fang Yi really didn't seem to know, and explained: "Only people who have made significant achievements in the field of arts and crafts will be awarded this title."
In this field, it is divided into 11 categories: craft carving, craft ceramics, craft printing and dyeing, craft weaving and embroidery, craft braiding, craft carpet, lacquer craft, craft furniture, metal craft, jewelry craft and other crafts, among which craft carving is the first ......"
Zhao Hongtao didn't look down on Fang Yi, but he knew very well in the system that it was almost impossible for Fang Yi to get this title, because the declarant had to meet five requirements at the same time.
The first requirement is very simple, that is, the applicant needs to be patriotic and dedicated, law-abiding, moral and artistic, and have no bad reputation record.
However, the second requirement can make Fang Yi stuck, because it requires that the applicant must be a professional who has been engaged in the design and production of traditional arts and crafts for more than 20 consecutive years (including 20 years).
Although Fang Yi's carving craftsmanship is exquisite, he is not inferior to some master-level figures at all, but he is only over twenty now, and he can't pass this condition at all.
In addition, there is a fifth, is required to declare the title of the provincial master of arts and crafts, not to carry out the assessment of the provincial master of arts and crafts, should have the provincial human resources and social security departments in accordance with the unified provisions of the national assessment of the senior arts and crafts title, this article is also not eligible.
"Brother Man, forget about this, I haven't been in this business for as long as others at my age......"
After hearing Zhao Hongtao's explanation, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was confident that his craftsmanship would definitely not be inferior to others, but the rules and regulations of those yamen turned him away at once.
"Fang Yi, it's not impossible, there are special cases in this......
Man Jun looked at Zhao Hongtao and said: "Director Zhao, do you know that there is a statement in the declaration conditions, if they do not meet the requirements of Articles 2 and 5, as long as they can master unique skills or stunts, or those who have mastered endangered skills in ethnic minority areas, they can be allowed to declare exceptionally, but the approval is quite strict......
Since the Manchu army mentioned this matter, he still knows it very well, because the Manchu army has a friend in Ji Province, is the descendant of Fengning Manchu paper-cutting, in Fengning was listed by the Ministry of Culture as the "hometown of national folk paper-cutting art" in the third year, his friend who was only in his early thirties was rated as a national master of arts and crafts.
"Hmm, according to what you say, Fang Yi is really likely to be rated......"
Hearing Manjun's words, Zhao Hongtao's eyes lit up, he knew that Fang Yi had a handful of miniature carving skills, which was also a unique skill, and there were many external factors to artificially evaluate these titles, as long as the operation was done properly, Manchu's idea might not be realized.
"Brother Zhao, this is not talking about partnership, why is it related to what title......
Seeing that Zhao Hongtao and Man Jun were discussing the feasibility of this matter, and threw themselves aside, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a little crying and laughing, why didn't any of these two old brothers ask their opinions, anyway, Fang Yi may not be willing to evaluate the title of this master-
PS: There is another chapter later, asking for a guaranteed monthly pass in June!(To be continued.) )
