Gan Liqian held back a smile, this Professor Liu is really special, facing this old artist, he has no consciousness of being a high-ranking official at all. actually played with a sixty or seventy-year-old man, which opened the eyes of the female mayor.

Think about it two days ago, this cadre who faced Suzhou City and Tangshan County was unusually direct, and directly made the leading cadres lose face, and even made Secretary Nong Yunpu run away!

But on the contrary, in the face of this old artist, Professor Liu seems to have become a child, and he is actually fighting with the old man. Gan Liqian looked at these people with a smile to see how the two returnees and a top student from Huaiyang University were fooling.

Huang Lu frowned: "Uncle, rare things are expensive, that's the real work of art, like yours, New Year's paintings, Zhong Kui paintings, and peasant paintings, in fact, in Yangliuqing, they are all printed with woodblock and mass-produced." To put it bluntly, this thing is a one-time consumable, with no high artistic value, more of that folk flavor. ”

The old man was in a hurry, blowing his beard and glaring, and scolded, "Nonsense! If anyone knows this, what else will I use to make money! ”

The little old man seemed to have forgotten in a hurry, these people in front of him were all parents and officials, Liu Feng didn't care, and continued to smile: "Old man, your craft is worth a lot of money, and it's worth a lot of money, and it's a pure handmade and cultural inheritance."

But if you want to sell it at a high price in Hongo, this is unlikely, you think, who would spend a few hundred dollars to buy a New Year's picture to stick on the wall? Don't forget, where is the market you are facing?

It is the New Year gathering in Liujialou Township, at best, it is sold in the county, and who are the customers faced? Who of these people will have the money to pay a high price for your painting? ”

Lan Yuanhai helped on the side: "Old man, in fact, as long as you buy a painting, you can ask someone to copy it when you turn around, and then you can print it in batches." This is also the most effective way now, we came to you, no other meaning, is to respect the old folk artists.

I want you to take the lead, organize a group of people, and carry out factory production. When the time comes, you will be able to work as a technical instructor and earn the highest salary in the factory without too much effort! ”

Gan Liqian couldn't help but help: "Old man, this is a great thing that can benefit the fellow villagers together, and when the time comes, if you accept a few apprentices, you can also pass on your skills, right?"

Aren't you afraid that after a hundred years, your craft will be lost? In that case, how can you be worthy of those senior masters? How can you be worthy of the people who teach you the craft? ”

The old artist was finally tempted, and what impressed the old man the most was not the high salary, but Gan Liqian's words. Like the craftsmanship of the old artists, it is now difficult to find inheritors, and those young people disdain this kind of craft.

Just imagine, who would learn that worthless craft? Nowadays, people are realistic, and they are even more anxious for quick success. Crafts like this, which can only earn a little money every year when the end of the year is approaching, are hardly attractive to young people.

The old artist has been worried, worried that his craft is about to die, and now after listening to the female mayor's statement, he came to the spirit: "Ah? Is this true? So how can we produce in a factory? ”

Huang Lu swore a promise: "Of course it's true!" Our company now needs these goods most to enter the market of large and medium-sized cities, and we are willing to contact the manufacturers in the city for you to give you the plate. Of course, this factory may have been a bit small at first, that is, a dozen people. ”

The old artist is a little dizzy, and more than a dozen people are still young? At present, there are only a dozen old artists in Tangshan County, and there is a lack of successors to folk crafts, which is a very common phenomenon in China. The more impoverished the area, the more these things that have been passed down for thousands of years are neglected.

Many people will think that these are the dregs left over from history, especially after the baptism of the red age, and many people even have a phobia of these things. When the four old ones were smashed, it was not just things that were smashed, many old artists also became the targets of smashing!

It was the darkest era of folk art, and many folk art inheritances were annihilated in the long river of history. The most sad thing is that these thousands of years old things have been discarded in just a few years.

Nowadays, if you want to pick up these folk treasures, you really need a little effort. The old artist seemed to see the day when his craft flourished, with tears in his eyes and a little trembling lips and asked: "How many paintings can those dozen people paint a day?" ”

Lan Yuanhai smiled: "Old man, it's not a few paintings a day, but hundreds of paintings and thousands of paintings, when the time comes, as long as you strictly control the quality and make every painting a high-quality product, you can wait to collect the money!" ”

"So much?" The old man's mouth opened wide in shock, and at this moment the old man was finally a little worried, "Then who is it sold to?" ”

This is also the one thing that Gan Liqian and others are most concerned about, if these folk products produced in Liujialou Township cannot be converted into commodities in time and sold to return funds, then for the local people, it will undoubtedly be a disastrous result.

This kind of worry is definitely not groundless, many enterprises, because the product has no market, only step by step from glory to extinction. Such examples can be found everywhere in the world, and there are several local enterprises in Suzhou City, which are facing this dilemma.

This is also what Nong Yunpu and his gang are worried about, but in Liu Feng's view, this is definitely not a reason to evade responsibility. Any entrepreneurship is risky, there is no easy success, and solving it and surpassing it when encountering problems is what a magistrate should lead the people to do.

Huang Lu replied seriously: "Old man, these paintings will be promoted to the whole country and sold to those large and medium-sized cities, which is the most potential market!" ”

Among the production of these folk products, the most difficult to form a batch is probably the production of pharmaceutical cloth shoes, and the production of that kind of cloth soles is the most difficult, which requires special equipment.

For this, Chen Yumin, Chen Feng and several craftsmen specially rushed to Suzhou City, and Mayor Gan Liqian specially introduced Suzhou Machinery Manufacturing Factory to them. Don't look at the dilemma that machinery manufacturing plants are facing now, but the foundation of state-owned enterprises is still there.

Those veteran college student engineers want to solve this kind of process problem, which is not much more difficult than drinking a drink. The folk art supply and marketing company customized more than 20 machines for sewing soles at once, and transported them back to Liujialou Township in the shortest possible time.

With this baby, but the most critical problem to solve, originally a woman can only make one pair of cloth shoes a day, and can produce fifteen pairs of cloth shoes at once! At this moment, the peasant women in the village were happy, what kind of concept is fifteen pairs of cloth shoes?

A pair of cloth shoes factory pays two yuan for handiwork, that is to say, a woman sits at home, manages the baby and the elderly, and serves those poultry and livestock, in addition to earning more than 20 yuan a day, far more than a man working in a foreign country.

On December 8, less than a month after Liu Feng and his entourage came to Liujialou Township, the folk art supply and marketing company was officially established. Not only did Gan Liqian, mayor of Suzhou City, attend the listing ceremony, but even Lan Guangfen, director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, also came all the way to attend.

The group of people from the county party committee and county government who came hard did not expect that they would attend this ceremony together with the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Minister of Organization, which was really an unexpected surprise. For these people, it is more important than anything to be able to meet the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee.

In front of the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee, he is familiar with his face, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and in the future promotion and appointment, at least he will be on the same starting line as those who did not attend.

Subsequently, Nong Yunpu, who was far away in Suzhou City, learned the news, but unfortunately he was in the city, and it was too late to rush over temporarily. This made Secretary Nong annoyed, what a good opportunity to have close contact with the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, there are definitely not many such opportunities!

The celebration banquet to celebrate the opening of the company was held in a small canteen in the township, and the dishes were very rich. The reception was attended not only by cadres at all levels, but also by the first batch of folk art artists who participated in the production.

Lan Guangfen looked at the sumptuous dishes, her face was a little unsightly, Liu Feng explained with a smile: "This meal is not consumed with public funds, it is arranged by Township Chief Lan in order to celebrate today's harvest of the first batch of handicrafts, and Minister Lan ate it casually." ”

Lan Guangfen showed a smile at this time: "Ha, Lan Yuanhai is so generous, this meal is going to be enjoyed, I don't know what kind of wine is served by Township Chief Lan?" ”

Lan Yuanhai is still very afraid of this aunt, the woman of the Lan family is strong when she is young, even stronger than Lan Guangsheng. If it weren't for his congenital weakness, Lan Guangfen's career would definitely be smoother than that of the two brothers.

In the Lan family, not only Lan Yuanhai is afraid of his aunt, but even Lan Yuanjun, who has always done his own thing, respects this aunt. Fortunately, Lan Guangfen was good enough to Elizabeth, and he had Liu Feng's guarantee, which made him feel at ease to come here.

To be honest, he rarely sees his aunt's smiling face, and today he can borrow the light of someone Liu: "Today is based on folk customs, and the wine is mainly glutinous rice wine brewed by the people here, and there is also a local famous wine cellar." ”

Today's guests are different from Liu Feng's reception banquet, there are many village cadres, and once these people no longer have taboos against officials, it is a practice to persuade alcohol. For the first time, Liu Feng saw the enthusiasm and good wine of the Huaibei people, even more elaborate than the Kanto people.

After all, this is a place where the ancient Chinese civilization has been inherited for thousands of years, and the wine culture, which is an important member of the Chinese cultural inheritance, has also been carried forward here. Especially the exquisiteness on the wine table made Liu Feng, a professor at the Yanjing Party School, overwhelmed.

The first dish was served, and the "Wine Commander" began to toast, and Gong Hai and the others hurriedly stopped it. Just kidding, this is not a wedding banquet in the countryside, and if one is not good and annoys the big guys, it is not something they can afford.

Unexpectedly, Lan Guangfen smiled and said: "Today is a festive day, everyone should not be restrained, but drinking should be done in moderation, and don't drink too much." ”
