Chapter 433 Qualitative Variables
Wang Yao also knew that he had to stay in the capital for a few more days, snuff bottles sold unexpectedly well in the West, after Wang Yao brought snuff to Hollywood, he gave it to several Hollywood superstars at a party, and was misunderstood as a criminal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
However, after explanations and attempts, snuff suddenly became the new favorite of some Hollywood celebrities led by Leonardo, and even some addictive trends.
Although snuff does not contain as much nicotine as cigarettes and cigars, the special taste and the pleasure of sneezing every time you smoke are more stimulating than cigarettes.
After all, the feeling of feeling comfortable after sneezing is wonderful.
Actors and stars are the most stressful industry, although fame and fortune are gained, but the ensuing pressure is also unimaginable to ordinary people, a person in the face of thousands of people's comments, without a strong heart, can not persevere.
After all, the four words of fearful words really have weight.
So many celebrities will have some of their own 'quirks', which are used to release their stress, some are alcoholic, some are addicted to games, some are addicted to women, etc., and some are even contaminated with some illegal substances.
Among the snuff blended by Wang Yao, there is a calming formula found from ancient recipes, this formula is made of a variety of herbs, the effect is to calm the nerves and nourish the heart, and the taste is extremely light, no irritation.
This kind of soothing snuff is extremely suitable for people with anxiety disorder and mental stress, and Wang Yao has not yet made a special effect of soothing snuff to help him resist physiological depression.
The news that Leslie Cheung smoked snuff has continued to this day, and various entertainment newspapers are gossiping that he smoked some kind of contraband, but Leslie Cheung smokes openly every time, and participating in events is no exception, this bold behavior makes the rumors self-defeating.
Leslie Cheung is a person who has always been reluctant to explain too much of his private life to the media, he thinks he is an actor and a singer, but he is not a star who sells his private life to gain attention.
So he has not clarified this matter, because this rumor will be self-defeating.
However, Leslie Cheung's snuff smoking is a big deal in the circle of friends, Leslie Cheung not only smokes it himself, but also asks his friends around him to change to snuff, thinking that snuff can replace cigarettes and is beneficial to the body.
Leslie Cheung, as a decades-old smoking gun, can quit cigarettes because of this new gadget, and his friends are naturally very curious, so the Xiangjiang entertainment industry naturally set off a wave of 'snuff fever'.
After Leslie Cheung asked Wang Yao for a large number of snuff bottles and snuff last time, Wang Yao directly opened a snuff shop in Xiangjiang and hired two old snuff masters in Guangzhou and Guangdong to help mix various flavors of snuff.
Because of the star effect, business is not bad.
Snuff is such a thing, Wang Yao didn't think about promoting it at first, because there is really no market, especially in China, but he didn't expect that the star effect would be so big, if the consumable of snuff re-emerged, then Wang Yao seemed to see a real huge business opportunity.
There is no doubt about the profits of the tobacco and alcohol industry, and if snuff can steal five percent of the market from the cigarette market, then at least the food that feeds the children of Anbang education can add one more chicken leg and two eggs to each meal.
Since ancient times, there have been two kinds of industries that are profitable, one is 'drinks' such as wine, tea and now cola.
The other is 'addiction', and aside from the illegal, cigarettes and snuff are definitely one of a kind.
The rise of snuff also directly led to the snuff bottle industry, Wang Yao invested in the master Zhang Weimin, and built a 'Lu Xiao Ge' snuff and snuff bottle brand, of which the brand patent of the snuff bottle is Zhang Weimin's master.
The name of Tatexiao Pavilion comes from the "Book of Songs", which is a poem describing the blessings of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, which means wishing others a long life, happiness and health, of course, it is also a bit of a sycophancy to flatter the Son of Heaven in the background of the times at that time.
'Peters, zero dew.
Seeing a gentleman, for the dragon is the light.
Its virtue is not happy, and the longevity test will not be forgotten. ’
Wang Yao liked this sentence more, so he nominated it for the store's façade.
At present, only one store in Xiangjiang has opened, and the snuff bottle has been sold out of stock for a long time, and the snuff bottle is still on the output because of the processing of modern machines, but the snuff bottle has reached the 'collectible' level of the object, and some rich people will naturally buy different ones.
Zhang Weimin also found the previous apprentices back, but the supply still exceeded the supply.
The mass production of snuff bottles was originally criticized by industry insiders, but Wang Yao finally spent money to shut up those people's mouths, after all, they still couldn't get along with money.
The snuff bottle was originally for the royal aristocracy, so although some old families have declined, they still feel superior, and Wang Yao feels that if he wants to save this market, it is not possible to do it without mass production.
There must be a collectible-level snuff bottle, because it is a work of art, especially the snuff bottle with an inner painting, which can basically reach the level of the World Heritage application.
But ordinary snuff bottles should also exist, because only when they are promoted, will there be a market.
Moreover, some professionals in the field of snuff bottles and interior paintings also stood on Wang Yao's side this time, the first is indeed helpful to this cultural promotion, and the second is that Wang Yao promised that they would open a special session of snuff bottle culture abroad, which is still a very important thing for these experts.
Immerse yourself in the hard work to inherit this skill, just to carry it forward.
The development potential of snuff is a surprise for Wang Yao, once the industry has a market, then there will be new blood injection, especially some young people who used to love snuff bottles themselves.
There are many people who are very interested in the skill of snuff bottles, just because they can't make money to support themselves, and in the end their ideals can only succumb to reality, but now it's different, the active snuff bottle market makes them see hope.
And this group of people must be people who really love snuff bottles, only if they really love it, will this inheritance get better and better, and in the next batch, Wang Yao will not dare to guarantee it, because there will be people who are rushing to make money to join the industry.
Once the purpose is linked to interests and occupies the majority, then it will become less pure, after all, in any industry, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.
It is impossible to contain, but Wang Yao only needs to ensure that his property is clean, even if he is the savior, he can't save the conscience of some people.
Wang Yao stayed in the capital and had one more thing, that is, about storytelling, the old man Jin Wensheng's storytelling career is now booming, with nearly 100 disciples, and I heard that some of them have been driven away to gain a foothold in other cities.
At the beginning, he received the revival review task, and the process also indirectly answered about 70%, and the revival value given by the revival task is still very important to Wang Yao, although the prestige value is now a little beyond his means, but Wang Yao knows that as long as the report of "Zodiac Turn" is lifted from the country, then his prestige will be rich for a while.
And what he really needs now is the technology value and the revival value, the things that can be drawn by the revival value lottery are all things that can surprise Wang Yao, and the things that can be obtained with the help of science and technology points can allow him to obtain a large amount of money channels in a short time.
Now in front of Wang Yao is the assistance of some scientific and technological means, the progress of civilization in addition to culture and art, science and technology are also indispensable, culture and art can make civilization reach a height, but the assistance of science and technology can make it popularize and expand its influence and popularity.
Art and culture are the products of niche circles, because they are expensive and extremely expensive, so they can only benefit part of the upper and middle classes, and technology will promote the welfare of some cultural and artistic products to the bottom through the process of 'qualitative variables'.
