Chapter 29 Custom-made Buddha statues
Xiao Ying said: "Yes, I also heard that you are specially shaping Buddha statues, so I came here on purpose, so I don't know how to work?" What about the price? β
"Come on, I'll show you the goods first, and we'll talk about the price later, okay? The price of each material is different, we can do it for you what kind of materials you need, all kinds of Buddha statue modeling is no problem, our designer is a professional Buddha statue design, and the technical consultant from the Buddhist Academy, there will be absolutely no problem. β
Director Sun said, while taking Xiao Ying and the two of them to the factory, and introduced him one by one: "The products of our factory include the three saints of the West, the Three Treasure Buddhas, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, the Eighteen Arhats, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Thirty-two Avatars of Guanyin, the Vedic Bodhisattva, the Shu Bodhisattva, the Puxian Bodhisattva, etc., all the statues you name the gods, I can make them." β
Xiao Ying paid great attention to the modeling posture of each Buddha statue, as well as the carving, painting and painting skills, etc., and felt that it was really very professional, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.
Xiao Ying asked Director Sun again: "How to calculate this price?" β
"It depends on what you use. We have all kinds of molding materials here, from the most rudimentary clay sculptures, to stone carvings, wood carvings, fiberglass, resin, brass, etc. β
"To be honest, I'm a layman for shaping Buddha statues, so what kind of materials do I usually order more?"
"FRP." Director Sun replied without hesitation, "FRP is durable, and the price is fair, and it can also be sprayed with gold after the surface is polished." Our factory has a special imported gold beads for Buddha statues, which look very beautiful. Of course, if Lord Xiao wants to be more upscale, he can also paste 24k real gold leaf, and when he sticks it, it will be really golden and shining, which makes people awe-inspiring. β
Paste real gold? Xiao Ying smiled bitterly in his heart, I'm afraid that my little money is not enough to stick a finger.
But Xiao Ying had a stern face on the surface, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Director Sun had been looking at Xiao Ying's expression, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he asked tentatively: "Lord Xiao, how many prices are you going to shape?" I'll help you with the staff officer. β
Xiao Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Have you already molded it, let me see?" β
"Most of the ones that have been ordered have been shipped away, and only these few have not been taken away, but I have a picture album in my office, you can go and see it."
Xiao Ying had already seen the completed Buddha statues just now, and there was no golden Jizo King Bodhisattva he saw, and when he heard that he had a picture album, he nodded: "Okay, then let's go and have a look,"
Several people are back in the office.
Director Sun had a bunch of albums on his desk, took them and spread them out, and sent them to Xiao Ying: "These are the works of our factory, there are renderings, and there are also finished drawings, you can compare, we are absolutely in strict accordance with the construction drawings to build." It's even more beautiful than that. -- Sit down and watch, and take your time without hurrying. β
Director Sun took the album to the coffee table and put it away, and after Xiao Ying and Zhuo Ran sat down on the sofa, he hurriedly made tea for the two of them. Then he pulled a chair and sat next to Xiao Ying, and he kept introducing him every time he turned the page.
Not to mention anything else, Xiao Ying was very moved by the enthusiasm of this factory director, and if the price was right, he decided to fix it in this long-term custom.
Xiao Ying asked: "Are you responsible for delivering it after it is done?" β
"Of course, there is no problem within the city, including the suburbs. Shipping charges will be charged elsewhere. The freight is the money for gasoline and tolls, and nothing else will make you a penny. β
"Hehe, you guys are really sincere, what about the installation of the Buddha statue?"
"Installation? ββIs Lord Xiao placed at home or in the temple? β
"I want to shape it and offer it to the temple, and I also want to accumulate virtue and do good."
"So that's the case, then wouldn't it be better for you to donate the money directly to the temple, and the temple will repair it for you?"
Xiao Ying reiterated the words of the factory director, but he heard that he was not in a hurry to make a business, and it was really like what he said, the factory was just to accumulate Buddha's fortune. I feel a little more down-to-earth, at least I won't be wronged.
Xiao Ying shook his head and said, "I want to worship the Buddha statue I want to shape to the temple according to my ideas, but I don't know how to do it, and I don't know how to operate it." β
"I see, it's easy. Let me tell you, our factory has business dealings with many big temples in the province and even the whole country, and there are many donors who have customized Buddha statues to worship to the temple, so which temple do you want to enshrine to, you tell me your name, I am responsible for contacting the temple, and then send a car to install it, and record your name in the temple merit book. You can check it at any time. Of course, if you have time, it's best to go together, and the host of the temple is very welcoming to the donor who worships the Buddha, and he will definitely be hospitable. β
Xiao Ying was happy in his heart, and in this way, he saved a lot of things.
He then flipped through the album. Turning to one of the pages, my eyes fell on a photo of a Buddha statue. This photo is the photo of the Buddha statue in the album of the leper monk, a person with more than one person on the high ground of the Tibetan King Bodhisattva, sitting on his knees, knotting the Dharma seal in one hand, and holding a jewel in the fingers of the other.
At this moment, a golden light flashed in his mind, and the image from his dream appeared, shining brightly. He immediately had a feeling in his heart that this was the statue of the Bodhisattva that appeared in the dream.
The price marked below reads: "Clay sculpture sprayed gold Jizo Bodhisattva, two meters high, the unit price is 500 yuan." β
Xiao Ying couldn't help but be happy in his heart, the price of this original factory was a full 100 yuan lower than the price in the album of the leper monk, as long as he bought it in large quantities, it would definitely be less, it seemed that his previous caution was right.
Xiao Ying pointed to this photo and said to Director Sun: "I want to order such a Buddha statue, is the price still negotiable?" β
"The price is not negotiable, I said, I am all cost price here, and I don't make any money. Just to accumulate good karma, you can go and inquire, all the Buddha statue shaping factory this kind of specifications of the Jizo Bodhisattva, I am definitely the cheapest here, if you can find the same material cheaper than me, for free! β
Xiao Ying smiled and said: "I believe what Director Sun said, however, the number of my orders is relatively large, and it will be customized for a long time." β
"Oh, Lord Xiao, how much do you want to set?"
"I can't say, maybe several statues a day, maybe one in two or three days, and the future custom is not necessarily a clay sculpture, it may be FRP or other materials."
Xiao Ying found that when he found the Buddha statue that matched his mind, the Buddha statue in his dream would appear. So the next time it appears, it may not be the clay material that points to it.
Director Sun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, raised a fat right hand, put a single palm together on his chest, his face was full of admiration, and said: "Amitabha, Lord Xiao Shi is really devout to the Buddha, and in the future, he will definitely be able to become a Buddha and a bodhisattva, and forever pull out the distress of all sentient beings!" β
Xiao Ying also learned to say: "I also ask Director Sun to help a lot." β
Director Sun thought for a while and said, "How many statues are the main ones of the Xiao family today?" β
"Five!"
I had already saved four people who were going to die, but yesterday in the oncology department, I instructed Mrs. Zhao to save her son, which is to save five people, so it is necessary to shape five Buddha statues.
Director Sun's face was even more happy, he usually ordered one at most two, and five at a time, which is really rare, and I heard him say that he would often come to order, which is really a big deal.
Although he said that he only charges costs, it is definitely not possible to maintain a factory without making money, how much he has to make some money, but he does not make black money, with such a large business, of course he is happy.
Director Sun weighed and pondered repeatedly in his heart, and finally patted his thigh with his fat hand and said: "That's it, I'll tell you the lowest price, please don't bargain anymore, because there is no room for decline." Otherwise, you will lose money. β
Xiao Ying nodded solemnly and said, "I can trust you, you say, I don't bargain." β
"Is it just a Jizo Bodhisattva of this size?"
"Yes at the moment, we will discuss it again if it will change in the future."
"That's good, this kind of Jizo Bodhisattva, I'll give you the lowest price of 460 yuan each." For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
