Chapter 31: Broaden your horizons

After washing his face, Jian Ming immediately started the van and drove Wu Wei and the others to the town.

"Wu Wei, what are you doing in Q City? How much money can I earn in a month? ”

"I'm in the electroplating factory, because I don't work for a long time, one thousand a month. However, the salary of dry precious metals is high, and you can earn two or three thousand a month! ”

"Uh, what does an electroplating plant do?"

"Haha, the electroplating factory is the surface treatment of handicrafts, how to say it? Anyway, the handicrafts, after acid and alkali treatment, are first plated with copper hydride, then copper sulfate, and finally golden, silver-plated or something according to the requirements, I don't understand. ”

"Crafts? What are they made of and what are they used for? ”

The first time Jianming heard about this industry, he couldn't understand electroplating at all, so he asked suspiciously.

Wu Wei couldn't help blushing: "Ahem, I've been working on copper sulfate for two years, and I don't know much about the material of handicrafts." You ask Li Yan, she works as a handicraft factory and knows more about these things than I do. ”

"Hehe, Jianming, why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just curiosity."

Li Yan smiled: "The purpose of handicrafts is to decorate, our factory is mainly for jewelry handicrafts, the materials are brass, lead, zinc alloy, iron, etc. After the handicrafts are made, they are electroplating processed according to customer requirements, and finally sent to foreign countries in fine packaging. ”

"Li Yan, do you have a lot of work in the factory?"

"Many, our factory has a large number of orders every year, most of which are sent to Europe and the United States and other countries, and the domestic market is generally done by small handicraft factories."

"Oh, aren't there any craft factories abroad?"

"Hehe, you don't understand this, handicrafts require a lot of manpower, and they are highly polluting industries, and developed countries are not allowed to do it. At present, most of the handicraft factories and electroplating factories in Q City are opened by Koreans, firstly because of our low wages, and secondly, because Q City has adopted a tax reduction policy in order to attract foreign investment. ”

Jian Ming's eyes lit up: "In this way, handicrafts should be very popular abroad, I don't know how the profit is?" ”

"Hehe, the profit is very high, a necklace of more than ten yuan can be sold for dozens of dollars abroad, almost ten times the profit."

"Damn, the profit is so big!"

"Of course, a necklace needs to be assembled little by little with hundreds of chain clasps, and then electroplated, which is very troublesome and not expensive."

Jian Ming's eyes lit up: "Li Yan, what is your hand and machine number?" ”

"What? Don't be obsessed with sister, sister is just a legend! ”

"Dizzy, I'm interested in crafts, besides, they're all old classmates, am I embarrassed to do it?"

"Hehe, tell me your hand and machine number, I'll call you!"

Jian Ming took out a business card from the dark compartment and handed it to Li Yan: "It has my number on it, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

"What is this? Hey, Linxian Labor Service Company, hehe, Jianming, you are doing well, you even have a business card. ”

"Haha, a box of business cards is only seven or eight yuan, and you can print it."

"Hehe, do you do the work yourself?"

"Well, but the risk of contracting light industry is too high, and the competition is fierce, and it is not a long-term solution. Recently I am thinking about wrought iron, this industry belongs to the same source as your craft factory, and the processing technology of your factory has helped me a lot, therefore, I need your number. ”

"Hehe, let me be a spy?"

"It's not a spy, after all, the development of the arts and crafts industry has matured, and you can buy design albums in bookstores, and what I lack is not design, but the most traditional processing technology. Of course, I won't let you do it in vain, and I will be responsible for your phone bill in the future, what do you think? ”

"Hehe, look at what you said, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me, the phone bill will be free, just invite me to dinner when you come back for the Spring Festival."

"Jianming, I despise you, I obviously want to find a beautiful daughter-in-law, and you still talk about this rotten reason, who doesn't know that there are many beauties in the handicraft factory!"

Wu Wei pursed his lips when he heard this, and immediately raised his middle finger, the beauty of the Q City Arts and Crafts Factory is like a cloud, this is an open secret, he doesn't believe that Jian Ming doesn't know. After all, in Linxian County, most of the young people are concentrated in Q City and are engaged in the electroplating industry.

"Hehe, people Jianming only likes Shui Shirou, so he is not as obscene as you."

"Ahem, there's nothing, don't talk nonsense."

Jian Ming couldn't help blushing, when he was in junior high school, he just had a crush on 'her', how could so many people know?

"Cut, every time there is a break between classes, you just stare at Shui Shirou, your two eyes are motionless, are the whole class blind? By the way, you were admitted to high school together and were in the same class, how did the relationship develop? Why don't you go on it? It can't be the East Window Incident, you were expelled from school, right? ”

"Ahem, let's talk about you, are you in love in Q City?"

"Don't change the topic, let's talk about you first, don't forget, Shui Shirou and I are at the same table, and the relationship is very good, and we are still in touch until now."

"Haha, I chose to drop out of school because I couldn't study anymore and was worried about my grades declining."

"What else?"

"And I want to make money."

"Go on!"

"Oh, as you can see, my parents are too old to provide for me to go to college, and I have no choice but to drop out."

"Straight to the point."

"I'll go to Q City to play with you in a few days, and when the time comes, can you take me to visit your factory?"

"Uh, what are you doing in Q City?"

"Haha, I didn't go to City B until the New Year, and it's not interesting to stay at home for so long, so I want to go to Q City to go around, and by the way, I will process some accessories and make a few wrought iron lights."

"Wrought iron lanterns? What is this? ”

Jian Ming laughed: "There is a picture album here, you can take a look, this is similar to your work, and it also belongs to handicraft processing." ”

Li Yan took the album, opened it, and was instantly stunned by the wrought iron lighting, the lighting in the album is very beautiful, and it is a well-deserved handicraft.

"Wow, Jianming, are you going to do this?"

"Yes, the wrought iron lamp is synonymous with luxury and elegance, derived from the European classical style art, imitating the effect of the ancient European palace, with the charm of European classical, its unique traces of historical years, can reflect the elegant and timeless bearing, representing the owner's excellent taste of life.

Combined with the ancient bronze lighting art of our country, we can create a work of art with both Chinese and Western characteristics. In today's society, this art has not been eliminated, but has only been marginalized because of the impact of minimalist decorative factors. Just like that, the potential of wrought iron lighting is very large, whether it is the revival of Han and Tang culture, or the retro of European culture, this industry will prevail in the world.

Of course, I have just come into contact with this area, and I still lack understanding of the field of wrought iron, so I can only make a small fuss at this stage and try to find the way to it. This is also the reason why I asked you to help, as long as you understand the processing technology and find out where the market of iron art is, the iron industry is definitely a good project to make money. ”

"Hey, Jianming, we also have the blades of this lamp, and we have done a batch of them a few years ago, and it seems that the demand for wrought iron lamps abroad is much greater than that at home."

"Haha, that's for sure, Europe and the United States are mostly developed countries, they have higher incomes, and they also pay more attention to the quality of life."

"Hehe, you know a lot, but how much can such a lamp be sold for?"

"I don't know the specific price, but it will cost at least a few hundred yuan, after all, the cost is not low."

"Wow, a lamp costs a few hundred yuan, who can use it?"

"Wrought iron lamps are synonymous with luxury and elegance, and they are exclusive to the upper class, and it is impossible for them to be popularized by the whole people. Therefore, every lamp should be made into a handicraft worthy of collection, only in this way can it have vitality and greater competitiveness. ”

"Hehe, your vision is quite high, but it's not easy to communicate with foreigners, and just communicating is a headache."

"We are still young when we are ready to win everything, and it is best to invest all the money we earn now in training, in fact, the biggest factor in success is not the network, but the improvement of our own ability. In today's society, it can be said that there is gold everywhere, but some people can seize the opportunity, while some people can't. ”

"Hehe, people who study well are different, we now go to more than ten hours a day, where is there still time to study. Besides, after ten salaries per month, as soon as you pay the rent or something, there is not much left, and then send some home, barely enough to eat! ”

Jian Ming sighed when he heard this, this is indeed the sorrow of migrant workers, the more they want to earn money, the more they can't earn money, because they don't know their skills, so they can only blindly go to work and receive wages.

"Jianming, how much money can you earn a year by doing your own work?"

"How to say it, it is very risky to work by yourself, and the profits are relatively high, if everything goes well, you will make a lot of money, and you are most afraid of meeting black-hearted people in this industry, or you will not be able to work. When I first went to City B, I did it with someone else, and he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but in recent months, I have only done it myself, because I was lucky, I have not been idle, and I have earned a lot. ”

"Hehe, how much is it? Honestly, I'll help you get Shui Shirou if you earn more. ”

"Ahem, I did two big jobs and a small job a year ago, and I earned a total of more than 600,000 yuan."

"How much? How much do you say? ”

"More than 600,000 yuan, in fact, it is also good luck, otherwise, I can't even earn 10,000."

Wu Wei laughed: "Jianming, no matter how much you want to get Shui Shirou, you can't blow it so much, more than 600,000, who believes it!" ”

"If you don't believe it, you don't even believe it."

"Hehe, I heard Wu Hao say it, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful."

"Haha, you and Wu Hao ......, in fact, he has earned a lot this year, and he will definitely be better than me in the future."

Li Yanqiao's face flushed: "Get out, I didn't expect you to be so dirty." ”

"You, we're not students now, in a few years, getting married and having children will be our top priority, do we still need to be shy?"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, the station is here, my sister is leaving, I have something to call and call, bye!"
