The ancient one does have appeal, and the only remaining fruits of these Lingnan jade carving schools are indeed cohesive, and the ancient ones called and began to clean up, which means that when Lei rushed to the small workshop according to the order, the old people had already packed up their things, and the valuables were called to the family to take away and preserve, and the equipment was waiting to be disassembled and packed.

Although there is no demobilized army in Dongjiang Province, there is an operating department of the former Songjiang Rice Industry, as well as vehicles, and in less than an hour, dozens of people rushed to quickly disassemble the equipment and pack the truck.

In order to avoid trouble, Yu Lei asked the team members to drive them to the airport and take a night plane to Songjiang City after the old people packed up their personal belongings.

After all, these old people are the hot treasures of many jade companies, and if there is some obstruction or something, it will be troublesome.

It's a remote place, and they walked neatly, and when the workshop finally became vacant, not many people knew. It is estimated that someone will come to dig people tomorrow, and they will be surprised to see the door locked and the house empty.

Xue Lang's actions are also not slow, although the equipment has not all come in, but the place has been cleaned up, and the location is in a finished product warehouse in Sijiang Rice Industry, which has been temporarily rebuilt, separated from the workshop, classrooms and other places.

After Xue Lang finished arranging, he threw down Gu and Xuefeng, went upstairs to the room, and called Cheng Weiguo directly.

If there are demobilized soldiers in their hands who like carving, they can participate in the screening, but they will not make a big move, because in the past few months, the demobilized soldiers have become familiar with their respective positions, and there is no need to adapt again.

Cheng Weiguo answered the phone, very surprised, I don't know what Xue Lang is doing, why do you still ask to be as young as possible, and ask to choose the dexterous type as much as possible, instead of the five big and three thick power types.

After listening to it for a long time, he asked puzzledly: "I said brother, why do you still have so many requirements, don't you know that if you do this, it will be a lot of work?" You don't have a draft, why are you still picking fat and thin? ”

Xue Lang said with a smile: "Look at Brother Ha Cheng, whether it is a rice factory, farming, or breeding, it is okay for the strength type, and it is easy to arrange work, but if the body is thinner, or the feet and legs are disabled, isn't it difficult to arrange the work?" ”

"You mean ......"

Cheng Weiguo was overjoyed, and then asked uncertainly: "Brother, do you mean that it is okay to have a disability in your legs?" ”

Xue Lang replied affirmatively: "Yes, Brother Cheng, if you have a disability in your legs, even if you are in a wheelchair, you can do it, but you can't have a hand, you need to use your hands, and you can't all be disabled, you can arrange 200 people for the disabled, they don't need to be screened, they are hired directly, and the basic salary is the same as that of other front-line ones." ”

"! Brother, you are a living bodhisattva! ”

Cheng Weiguo is not calm.

You must know that although these disabled veterans have received pensions, the pensions cannot ensure a stable life for the family, right? And it is very difficult for them to find a job, and there are also local departments that are very attentive, but they are not very easy to arrange, some just get a job such as a mailroom, the income is not high, and life is also very difficult, and some can only fend for themselves, and the life can be imagined.

Xue Lang's first-line basic salary here is comparable to the income of employees of large companies in first-tier cities, not counting commissions, it is already quite considerable.

Xue Lang smiled, and his smile was very bitter. My own ability is not enough, and there are too few people who can help.

He calmed down and said: "Brother Cheng, come less, the Bodhisattvas are all used for offerings, I can't do that job, this time is over, you have to continue to collect resources with leg disabilities and can't work normally, it is expected that after a year, the number of 1,000 people should be able to reach." ”

"Good!"

Cheng Weiguo took a deep breath and said, "Brother, thank you!" ”

The corners of Xue Lang's eyes were also a little moist, knowing the weight of Cheng Weiguo's thank you, but he didn't want to make it so heavy, so he smiled and said: "Come less, don't be sensational, thank you, these two hundred people are not required, the family can come with them next summer, and they can arrange work, but the remaining five hundred people, you have to be carefully selected, pick some ingenuity, like carving, like art, otherwise, I can't explain it." ”

"Carving?"

Cheng Weiguo didn't know why Xue Lang got the carving again, and asked suspiciously: "I said brother, why did you get the carving again?" Carved stone? ”

Xue Lang smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, it is carved stone, but it is not an ordinary stone, it is a jade carving, which is a good craft." ”

"Jade carving?"

Cheng Weiguo was touched again.

You must know that this is not moving bricks to build a house, this is definitely a technical job, a very promising technical job. Once learned, it will last a lifetime.

Understanding Xue Lang's purpose of recruiting, Cheng Weiguo patted his chest and said, "Okay! I understand, rest assured, this is not bad, the list will be completed in five days, and all will be in a week. ”

"I don't have to worry about you, the receiving process is still the old way, and I will provide it if I don't have a wheelchair."

Xue Lang said and hung up the phone.

After getting the students, Xue Lang was a lot easier.

In this way, Xue Lang has not discussed with Xue Feng, let alone with Gu, but he believes that neither Xue Feng nor Gu will object to his approach.

Lingnan jade carving is not fake, but it can't abandon the low-end market, only do high-end, or how to carry it forward?

Not to mention that what Xue Lang did was to benefit a group of people, even if it was a normal business, it must not be sold out of the apprentice's products, those raw materials also cost money, and there are costs, which businessman is willing to pay for a few years to train a carving master? If you can't learn, won't all the investment in the early stage be wasted?

Besides, different crafts, different materials, there is a gap in the selling price, what are you afraid of, even if the apprentice's product, as long as it is not obviously broken or something, it is cheaper, and there are thousands of jade carvings on the market, or even hundreds of jade carvings, not to make money, only to recover the cost, this is not a big problem, right?

Xue Lang finished making the phone call and returned to the living room to invite Gu Gu to dinner, but saw Gu and Xue Feng holding a strong flashlight, squatting in the middle of several huge rough stones, studying something in a whisper, and occasionally holding a flashlight on the stone to observe the faint transparency.

Through the stone skin, the light can be transmitted very weakly, but experienced people can judge the quality of the material in the rough stone through the small traces of guò.

Xue Lang saw that the two of them were very attentive, so he didn't bother, and walked straight behind the two of them and listened to the two of them discuss and discuss.

After listening to a few words, Xue Lang couldn't help but interject: "Ancient, you said that the quality of the jadeite in this big triangular stone is not low?" ”

Gu Gu turned his head to look at Xue Lang, moved his squatting posture, turned sideways and said: "Xiao Xue, this stone is an old pit Burmese material, a rare dark gray stone skin, there is no moss, no Tsubaki, and no locks, the luster of the strong light flashlight is analyzed, the emerald inside is not small, the thin skin is big filling, at least the ice is sunny green, if it is a glass species, it is sky-high, these pieces are all from a pit, the stone skin is the same, you spent a lot of money, right?" ”

"It's okay, money is a small thing, as long as it doesn't buy a stone."

Xue Lang smiled and didn't answer the old question, he couldn't say that he didn't spend money.

Gu Gu didn't pursue it, but continued: "These large rough stones obviously did not enter the gambling stone auction, or they are gambling stones in a small area and only large buyers participate, otherwise how could there be no movement when these stones appear?" ”

What can Xue Lang say? Wen Yan smiled and said, "It really made Gu guess right, it is a small-scale auction, and there are not many people." ”

"Good stuff......"

Gu didn't ask in detail, this is a secret of people's origins, it's not good to ask too much, but for such a high-quality rough stone, he still can't help but be shocked.

sighed, shook his head again and said, "It seems that Lao Xie is useless." ”

Xue Feng asked puzzledly: "Old man, why is Old Man Xie useless?" ”

Gu Gu slowly stood up, and moved his legs under the support of Xue Feng and Xue Lang, and then said: "We old bones have their own specialties, Lao Xie's specialty is not carving, his carving level can only be regarded as mean, his specialty is calcite and gambling stone, especially calcite, you can rely on your sense of hearing, not only can you hear the grade of the material, but also stop when the blade just touches the jade, so as to avoid destroying the original form of jade, but also reduce losses, and achieve the maximum utilization rate of jade." ”

"That's amazing!"

Xue Feng was surprised.

Xue Lang was also surprised, and at the same time understood why Xie Lao could tell what kind of jade it was.

The ancient activity of the sour shoulders said: "In addition, gambling stones, when he followed the master, he learned to view stones with Jianye, although he did not have Jianye's vicious vision, but there are few big spans, the general rough stone will not be lost, even if the profit is not big, there can be a surplus." ”

That's great!

Xue Lang was overjoyed when he heard this.

Entering raw materials, is a lack of trusted, eyesight and experience of people, in this way, into the raw materials do not have to worry, or, at every turn hundreds of thousands, millions of a piece of rough stone, who dares to guarantee that there will be jade back? At least I don't dare to say that I am sure.

Xue Feng also smiled, the jade carving factory is indispensable to understand the original stone, or go to the solution of the material, not to mention the high cost, there is still a problem, that is, whether the technique of calcifying the stone is in place, the biggest feature of Lingnan jade carving is to carve utensils according to the shape of jade, and some are even just polishing and polishing, retaining the original appearance of jade, so the jade carving factory is indispensable to understand the original stone.

Before Xue Lang could speak, Xue Feng smiled and said, "Old man, who said it's useless?" We lack experts in this area, so Xue Lang has prepared enough apprentices, including those who have studied geology. But I don't know who can bring it, now it's okay, isn't the problem solved? ”

Xue Lang muttered when he heard it, when am I ready? If you still study geology, you will come back and find it.

The ancient was happy to hear it, and said while walking to the sofa: "Lao Xie's level is now also a top one, if you work alone, just gambling stones, this will be worth no more than how much, now it's okay, he has insisted for so many years, he couldn't always go out before, most of the Jianye goes, this time you can enjoy it, not to mention, you can rest assured that you can take apprentices, but it's a pity that a few of his former apprentices, although they didn't learn home, but this will make a fortune in the mountains and seas, and there is no trace of it......"

The old said, with a sigh.

Xue Lang and Xue Feng looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning conveyed in each other's eyes.

Xue Lang understands the ancient saying very well, if you buy a stone for tens of thousands of yuan, you will buy the kind of material that is not in good condition, and solve a piece of high-quality material, then it will not be a matter of 300,000 or 500,000, it will be a gap of millions, or even tens of millions, such a temptation, how many people do not go to make a fortune alone? That's why Lao Xie guards the teacher's door......

Thinking of the loss of many things nowadays, Xue Lang said solemnly: "Ancient, here, I can promise that the Lingnan jade carving culture will be thoroughly implemented to ensure that the absolute quality of the world, no matter how expensive the raw materials here are, they are used as the utensils you want to carve, no matter how big or small, even if this piece is carved, it is not a problem to carve for a few years." ”

Xue Feng also nodded. But the ancient did not leak joy, after all, the human mouth has two skins, up and down, it will change at any time, and you can only know it when you walk by. Even if he agreed to come here, he still didn't trust Xue Lang all.

Xue Lang didn't expect his words to make Gu You think anything, he paused and continued: "Apprentice, I will try my best to select a standard apprentice who is suitable for you to choose an apprentice, and I promise that I will be determined to inherit the culture of my own school, but there is one thing, ancient, and the new factory will be divided into three pieces." ”

As soon as Xue Feng and Gu heard that Xue Lang was going to talk about business, they all looked at him.

Xue Lang didn't intend to let anyone answer anything, and said to himself: "This first piece is to train a group of apprentices who can carve low-quality jewelry that can be carved into mass production market, they are all demobilized soldiers, and they lost their legs in the fight against danger and disaster relief, or when they were on duty, or one, or two, let them support themselves with their hands, I don't think they want to become a drag on the society and pass on their troubles to the society." ”

Xue Lang said this, Xue Feng and Gugu's eyes lit up, obviously, even Gu didn't mind that the apprentice's products could be sold in this situation.

Xue Lang continued: "There are many of these people who are ingenious and have reached a certain level, and they can be trained together with the selected ones. I think that inheriting the jade carving culture does not have to have sound arms and legs, I think that without legs, they will work harder. ”

Gu Gu and Xue Feng both nodded, obviously agreeing with Xue Lang's opinion.

Xue Lang didn't care about the two of them, and continued: "The second piece, the selected apprentices are divided into two categories, one is worthy of cultivation, as your descendant disciples, you can assess your character and ability by yourself, and you can learn more advanced jade carving skills with you." The selected ones are compiled into the section that produces mass-produced jewelry. They also follow the improvement of their skills, come to learn while supporting themselves, and when they reach a certain level, they can be diverted to make mid-range products, and finally become carving masters, the mainstay of the jade carving factory. And the last piece is the life of you masters. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Lang paused, and saw that Gu Gu had no intention of speaking, so he continued: "Your salary has been agreed on before, it will not change, here is a point, Gu You have to bother, take time to train apprentices, almost a year, build a factory in the spring of next year, and officially open in the autumn, and you, only carve fine products, this point will remain the same, and it will not limit your output." ”

After Xue Lang finished speaking, Gu pondered a little and said: "Xiao Xue, your idea is very good, this is also in line with market demand, and it can also help a group of people." Training apprentices is something that a few of our old guys can do, and in the next few days we will find you a group of hands to cooperate with us to teach apprentices, they are also our old guys' apprentices, not all of them deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, they are driven away by us, they always have to live, or we can't afford to raise so many people. ”

"Great!"

Xue Feng and Xue Lang were overjoyed.

With some backbones, the jade carving factory will be able to shorten the cycle of losing money. And to train hundreds of people, just a few old people can't do it.

Xue Lang was overjoyed and said: "Ancient, thank you so much for your support, so that there will not be too many people I recruit." ”

"How many did you recruit?"

Xue Feng asked suspiciously.

Gu also asked, "Is it a lot?" ”

Xue Lang smiled, nodded and said: "Two hundred people with physical disabilities, this is the first batch, it will increase next fall, it is expected to be a thousand people, as long as they ensure that they break even or lose a little less, I will not expect to make a profit from them." The number of apprentices is five hundred, the qualified ones stay with you, concentrate on learning technology, and the unqualified ones will be merged into the ranks of mass production jewelry, and a batch will be recruited next year for you to select high-quality apprentices. ”

This amount of Xuefeng is not in a hurry, abandoning mechanical processing and making zuò by hand, which can be regarded as a way out for these disabled soldiers. And a large factory, three or two thousand workers are a small number.

But the ancients don't look at it that way, these numbers show a problem, the chance of choosing a inheritable mantle is great, not to make a mediocre, difficult city, and suffering from no apprentices, so they have to accept it.

The Ancient smiled.

This will make him really feel that he believed that Teng Huamin was right at the beginning, and this Xue Lang can indeed be trusted. What he said is not based on the consideration of wealth, in addition to helping those disabled soldiers, it is to consider the issue of inheritance for them, that is, the problem of high-quality apprentices.

As long as he can really persist for three to five years, the backbone of the jade carving factory will come out and can mass-produce mid-range products, and the reputation of the jade carving factory will be gained, and the income will increase geometrically.

Xue Feng also interjected: "There is an apprentice, here, the jade carving factory will not cooperate with a jewelry firm, we open a jewelry company by ourselves, produce and sell our own, divide the high, medium and high grades and high-quality products, and ensure that they are all A goods under the premise of creating our own brand, a brand belonging to the Lingnan jade carving school." ”

"Yes, and then hold their own exhibitions, hold auctions, start the brand, ensure quality, exclusive sales, I believe that in three or four years, the jade carving factory is on fire, and the fame of the Lingnan jade carving school has also gone out, and then the jewelry branch will open abroad and earn foreign exchange back!"

Xue Lang was very excited and looked forward to it.

The ancient eyes also lit up.

The idea of these two young people is indeed feasible, not exaggerated, not impatient, so that not to mention fakes, but also to reduce some of the price, after all, there is still a layer of skin picked up by the jewelry company, and it must be passed on to consumers.

In a good mood, Gu smiled and said, "You two young people are really not a family that doesn't enter the door......

Before Gu Gu finished speaking, Xue Feng blushed and said twistedly: "What's the matter, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum old man......"

Xue Lang also smiled awkwardly, but did not explain.

"Huh?"

Gu is very surprised, how do you look at these two people as a family, otherwise you can't tell who is the boss?

Before he could speak, the door opened.

As soon as the door opened, Cui Ying, Bai Xiaogui, and Xia Ziyi came in one after another.

As soon as they came in, a few people greeted the ancient, the sound of the warbler and the fragrance hit people, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Gu looked at a young beauty who was more beautiful than the other, and he couldn't figure it out, which one was Xue Lang's daughter-in-law?

After Cui Ying finished saying hello, she walked straight over and sat down next to Xue Lang, hugged him by one arm and said, "You two, why did you let the old man stay in this room for so long?" ”

Before her words fell, Bai Xiaogui also twitched her nose and frowned and said, "That's it, there is still the smell of formaldehyde, go over there." ”

Xue Lang really forgot about this stubble, if it weren't for the fact that those big rough stones were here, he wouldn't have let Gu come here directly.

Without waiting for him to speak, Xue Fengjiao smiled and said: "No, just chatting with the old man, I forgot that the smell of decoration here is heavy, Xue Lang, you accompany the old man over there, Ziyi, go, go get some food, let's eat at home at night, don't go to the restaurant, let the old man taste our craftsmanship." ”

"Yes, yes! I'll go too. ”

Bai Xiaogui smiled, followed Xue Feng and the others to the kitchen.

The freezer here is stocked with fresh vegetables and meat.

Cui Ying didn't follow, let go of Xue Lang, hugged one of the ancient arms and said, "Let's go, old man, I will taste the special dishes of our rice factory in a while, and I guarantee that there are no restaurants." ”

"Good!"

Gu stood up with a smile, and muttered in his heart, there are so many beautiful girls, which one is the main one?
