Chapter 559: Cultural Construction
After listening to Hong Zhan's words, Hang Yu and Liu Shengjian's eyes lit up, and they felt very reasonable.
The ancestor said well, one person counts the short, and the third counts the long.
"Go on. Hang Yu said.
"I think so, in fact, China's handicraft industry is already very developed, in the past subject to transportation and sales problems, handicraftsmen were exploited by middlemen and sellers, we only need to help them e-commerce. After the e-commerce of the handicraft industry, the market and profits will be multiplied, and more people will naturally participate in the benefits. On the other hand, we should create a more personalized new handicraft industry according to the needs of the times and make this cake bigger. With a two-pronged approach, the craft industry will definitely flourish again in this era. Hong Zhan said.
"Well said, what's your name. Liu Shengjian asked.
"Hello Stationmaster Liu, I am Hang Dong's assistant, my name is Hong Zhan, the flood of Hong, the Zhan of admiration. Hong Zhan said.
"Yunshan, I think Hong Zhan's idea is very good, what do you think?" Liu Shengjian said.
Hang Yu nodded and looked at Hong Zhan with appreciative eyes, it seemed that this was a young man with a lot of ideas.
Receiving Hang Yu's appreciation, Hong Zhan was very happy and knew that he must have added points.
"You just said that you want to create a new handicraft industry, what specific ideas do you have?" asked Hang Yu.
"I don't have a specific idea for the time being, but I think we can start with everyday items, such as the teapots and cups that we commonly use, and make them into different shapes according to the customer's needs. In the past, this would undoubtedly raise the price of the product, but after e-commerce, there is no exploitation by middlemen and sellers, and the price will not increase too much. Hong Zhan said.
"But how can customers clearly express their demands, not every customer can draw. If you are not satisfied with the work and have to redo it, it will greatly overlap the labor force. Liu Shengjian said.
"This ......" Hong Zhan couldn't think of a way for a while.
"There is indeed a big market for the pursuit of personalization, but I don't think it's possible to be extremely personalized. We also have personalized things on our website, such as Weibo skins and emojis, which are all personalized services. But it's impossible to get users to make requests and customize skins and memes according to their requirements, which is too much work. Hang Yu said.
"In this case, it's better to make some styles like skins first, and let users choose directly. Products like teapots and cups can be made of thousands of eight hundred styles, which can be regarded as a kind of limited personalization. Hong Zhan said.
"This method is possible, but it is not easy to make 1,800 styles, and the craftsmanship of the maker is very demanding. It is estimated that there are not a few masters who can make so many styles in the country. Liu Shengjian said.
"It's simple, as long as the sales are large enough, you can attract more people to participate. It is naturally difficult for one person to make a thousand styles, but it is much easier for a thousand people to make a thousand styles. Hang Yu said.
"yes, it's like an assembly line. Liu Shengjian suddenly realized and said: "The industrial assembly line is to split a product into multiple steps, while your assembly line is to split the style to do." In this way, a large number of jobs can be created with one product, and the rural labor force can be fully tapped, but I don't know if it is difficult to train. ”
"Practice makes perfect, and no one's craft is learned. Hang Yu said: "The slightly difficult technical positions in the factory require training for two or three months, and they are almost the same when they are put on some handicrafts." ”
"What about profits?" asked Liu Shengjian.
"Only when you are big can you make a profit. Hang Yu said.
"Handicrafts also have a big disadvantage, the quality is difficult to guarantee. Hong Zhan said.
Listening to Hong Zhan's words, Liu Shengjian was like a basin of cold water on his head, and his heart suddenly cooled down.
It is not for nothing that the handicraft industry is replaced by industry, and who does not like elaborate handicrafts, but they are expensive. Cheap handicrafts, and the quality is not good, may not be as good as those produced by industry.
"I think there should be no problem with porcelain, China's porcelain industry is so developed, there are many talents, and it can fully support this market. If there is enough demand, China's porcelain industry can be further expanded. Hang Yu said.
"I almost forgot that our country is a big porcelain country. Liu Shengjian clapped his palms.
"In this way, let's make a fuss about the personalization industry of porcelain first and see how it works. If the effect is good, let's derive from other products and make the brand of Chinese handicrafts step by step. Hang Yu said.
"Okay, that's it, if you need help, you can ask me. Liu Shengjian said.
"Do we have a porcelain manufacturer in Fairy Town?" asked Hang Yu.
"Jiangdu and Yangzhou have both, and the output is not small. Liu Shengjian said.
"That's good, please contact Uncle Liu and ask them to assist in our plan. Hang Yu said.
"No problem, I'll do their ideological work. Liu Shengjian said.
"Hong Zhan, you came up with this idea, and you assisted Stationmaster Liu. Hang Yu said.
"Okay. Hong Zhan gladly accepted the task.
At this time, they happened to walk to the People's Bridge, where Hang Yu originally started, and since he moved away, this small shop was taken down by a man who did grocery business and opened a convenience store.
Standing by the People's Bridge, Hang Yu couldn't help but recall the original entrepreneurial time. Although the company did not have many assets at that time, it was a very special memory, and I feel very warm when I think about it now.
"The last time our town committee held a meeting, we talked about the cultural construction of Fairy Town. Liu Shengjian said: "Thanks to the drive of Jiangyan Company, the economy of our town is booming, but the cultural industry is not very ideal. You must know that culture and industry complement each other, and if there is a distinct cultural charm, it can attract more people to consume and invest. ”
In the past five years, the gross domestic product value of Fairy Town was 4.45 billion yuan, and now Jiangyan Company alone has total assets of more than 100 billion yuan, not to mention that Hangyu has also driven the development of some other industries.
What makes the town government most pleased is that Hang Yu not only does Internet business, but also invests in industry and rural industries after making money. This kind of practice is rare, and Jiangyan Company has not benefited much in the short term, but in the long run, it has greatly consolidated Jiangyan's fundamentals.
"Our Fairy Town is also a 2,000-year-old civilized town, how can it not have cultural charm?" Hang Yu said, he grew up here since he was a child, and he felt that the scenic culture of Fairy Town was quite good.
"You are familiar with this place, you have a sense of hometown, and of course you find the culture here attractive. But others are not familiar with it, and there are not many people who pay attention to ancient culture now. Liu Shengjian said.
