During this time and the following time, Fang Yi and the five of them were quite busy, because they had to prepare their own works, and the next would not only be the Venice Biennale, but also the second American group exhibition, but this time it was not as large as the last time, only four cities. Although the scale has become smaller, the standard is higher, and this time the exhibition hall is no longer borrowed from the big gallery or someone else's exhibition hall, but is exhibited in the exhibition hall of some art museums.

Now the price of the works of the five people is gradually increasing in the American market, and has been pushed to the early 300,000s by the gallery, and the price of Fang Yi's works in the American market is now about 350,000 yuan, temporarily leading the five people, and the other four friends have also exceeded 300,000 US dollars a piece.

Zou Heming is not only busy with this, but also recommends the works of the five people to the exhibition halls of their respective countries. It is hoped that the works of the five will be displayed in their respective national pavilions.

Fang Yi is the busiest one, not only to prepare his own works, but also to return to China to attend the wedding of his friend Zhang Xu. It is impossible to spend much time in China, and even the traditional Chinese New Year will not be celebrated in China this year.

"Next, we're in a little trouble," Fang Yi sat on the sand chief and said to his friends: "There is a bottleneck in the production of materials!" I don't have much time to devote to the production of the materials! ”。

Originally, Fang Yi didn't think about how much paint he needed for the five of them to use together, but now that everyone is used to making their own paints, Fang Yi can't take care of it by hand, and with more and more varieties of pigments and oils, this situation will continue to worsen. Now the time has come to discuss it.

Kahima listened to Fang Yi's words, thought for a moment and said, "Hire an apprentice to produce!" We don't even have the spare hands to help you make paint! ”。

"Unexpectedly, we have developed back and returned to the situation of the previous handicraft workshop!" Anders quipped: "The effects of industrialization are immediately useless to us!" ”。

Paint is made like a workshop. That was a long time ago, and now almost all artists are taking it, who would mix paint! However, in these days, everyone felt that the things made by Fang Yi were really good, and no one would be happy to let a few people use them back.

"Still that problem! Recipe secrecy issue! Fang Yi opened his mouth and said about this matter.

Kahima asked, "Didn't you apply for a patent, so what are you afraid of?" If you're not worried, sign a contract before hiring them! Find a lawyer to draw up the contract."

That's right! Fang Yi remembered. I'm a bit of a bull. Forget that you are in France, and the management of cottages here is still very strict, and there will be no skills that you have learned today. The phenomenon of hiding from one side and opening another factory, even if there is, it can play the role of a lawyer!

"Yes! Then I'll be looking for someone when I get back from my home! Fang Yi patted his thigh and said.

Artur said to Fang Yi, "How many people are you going to find?" We can't use paint all the time, we should also put in a little effort! Nothing else, the hired workers can still pay a little! ”。

"Why don't you expand the scale of production? Either? Escape. You're going to launch your own brand! That's what I'm talking about! I'll go back and make you a packaging design and brand LOGO, make sure you look satisfied! Anders opened his mouth to say.

Fang Yi looked at his friend and asked with a smile, "Which of us do you think is the material for promotion?" Why don't you give up your time painting to sell my style? It's not just your shares, you're the CEO! Discretionary management".

Anders blinked his eyes when he heard this and said, "Forget it, I don't have this ability!" ”。

Just now, how many people's small fame has launched their own pigment brand? Even if the five of them invested all their income into it, I am afraid that it would be a lot of waste, who would use the materials that Fang Yi had made up now? Even if someone uses it to promote, there are a few people sitting down who have not done it, and when it comes to painting, one person has a few on top. When it comes to doing business, a few bundles together are not enough for people to see.

Watching Anders retreat. Fang Yi said with a smile: "I think it's okay to hire two people, it's a big deal to hire three people!" The result was enough for the five of us! You don't need to be full-time, just part-time! ”。

"We'll cover the employee's salary," Kahima said, looking at his friends.

Rude listened and said without hesitation: "No problem! ”。 Except for hiring some models who are not in tune, Ruud almost does not spend any money, and there is no problem at all in hiring people.

Anders opened his mouth and asked, "So how much is the salary set for a month?" ”。

Fang Yi looked at Anders looking at him, and immediately waved his hand and said, "You ask me where I can guess, this question is still for others!" ”。

Rude thought for a moment and said, "How about about two thousand five hundred euros a month?" It's a little higher than the average salary! ”。

"I think it's good!"

"Well, that's not too low!" Artur opened his mouth to speak.

As soon as the salary here came out, Fang Yi nodded and thought it was good! All five of them feel that this salary is set at a good level, which is higher than the average salary in France, but it is not too high.

When they were satisfied, none of the five could figure out how the so-called average salary was calculated. If a real businessman were here, he would laugh at five idiots! This kind of ordinary manual work is 1,500 euros a month, and some people rush to do it, let alone 2,500!

Although Kahima and these people were all poor, none of them had officially worked in a company, and where did they know about these adjustments, a few people knew that they were talking about the average salary, and they didn't know how other companies worked. Fortunately, as an up-and-coming artist now, five is really not bad for money! This little money is not in everyone's eyes!

"When will you be hired?" Rude proudly finished setting his salary and asked Fang Yi.

Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me to come back!" ”。

"What if we don't have enough paint when you come back?" Artur looked at Fang Yi and asked.

"I'll go back for four or five days, and I'll be back soon," Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, where did he have time to spend more than ten or twenty days in China this year. After attending Zhang Xu's wedding, he accompanied his parents for two days and then came back after watching his dog.

"That's fine!" Rude nodded and said with satisfaction.

"You're not going back for Christmas?" Fang Yi asked his friends.

"Don't go back!"

"It's not interesting!"

This is the answer given to Fang Yi by several people, Fang Yi is very strange about this matter, none of his four friends went back for the holiday, but it is not easy to ask about other people's family affairs.

After deciding on the recruitment of the small workshop, Fang Yi remembered Luan Xiao here, and I don't know if Lu Dao didn't find a suitable part-time job in Paris, if he didn't find it, he would hire someone here anyway, if it was suitable, let him come over, and the fertilizer and water would not fall into the fields of outsiders!

Thinking of this, Fang Yi said to his friends: "Last time, my friend didn't know if he had found a place to work, if he didn't find it, I asked him if he would like to work in the small workshop!" ”。

"We just need to see that the paint box is full, and we're not interested in who you hire!" As soon as Anders heard Fang Yi's words, he hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that this kind of thing should not bother him.

Kahima and Ruud, as well as Artur, didn't care who Fang Yi hired.

Fang Yi naturally stood up, walked outside and called Luan Xiao, asking him if he had found a part-time job!

As soon as Luan Xiao heard that Fang Yi had a job here, and the salary was 2,500 euros a month, he thought about it for a while and agreed, and finally thanked Fang Yi, this small village is really far away from Paris! And Luan Xiao himself doesn't have a driver's license, although it looks good with Fang Yikai's salary, but the round-trip travel expenses add up to the current salary.

Back in the house, as soon as Fang Yi sat down, he heard Kahima ask, "How did you push Bobile's technique?" ”。

"What about you?" Fang Yi took out a cigarette from his pocket, and all the smokers came and lit one and asked his friends.

Artur said: "I haven't made much progress! ”。

"I'm stuck with the same situation as last time," Anders said.

"I had a little idea, but I didn't think it was right, I couldn't draw his colors," Ruud said, "Maybe it's a problem with the material!" ”。

"I have some ideas, and it's also a problem of color cast! There is no feeling when I saw it at that time! Yi, have you thought of it? Khima looked at Fang Yi and asked.

"I've got a little bit of experience in terms of technique!" After speaking, he pointed to the canvas he had brought.

"There's still a problem with color!" Rude glanced at Fang Yi's canvas and said, "There is no sharpness like his!" ”。

"That's a problem with the paint, it shouldn't be a problem with our technique!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, Fang Yi has been mixed with the things in the technique for a while, and Fang Yi has told his friends in several batches, and the Khima and the others have also absorbed some useful things and dissolved them into their own works, as for paints and the like, Fang Yi really has no interest in putting them out, there are better ones in his mind, of course he won't use the old man's things, maybe one day the old man will sue himself for stealing his formula or something.

Fang Yi stood up and demonstrated the technique of curling color to his friends, and then explained his own experience, and everyone discussed it for more than two hours before it ended.

At noon the next day, Fang Yi and Belonica had just finished eating when they heard a knock at the door.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Fang Yi opened the door, he saw a villager in his forties standing at the door, all of whom lived in the village, Fang Yi was also very familiar with it, so he came into the house and sat down and asked.

"Yi! I heard that you were going to find someone to work in the workshop," he said.

No way! And the news came out? A sentence popped out of Fang Yi's mind. It's only been one morning and someone has gotten the news to come for an 'interview'! (To be continued......)
