Chapter 8 Do you want me to give it to you for fun?

After Xie Fang took a small step on the spot, he continued to press his legs and exercise, with a smile on his face, "Do you know how much this work sells for?" ”

Yang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I don't know!" Can this also be sold for money? It turns out that it can be sold for money! No wonder you've been sticking to this thing! However, this one doesn't look as delicate as the bracelet, the Yabai bracelet can sell hundreds or even thousands, can you sell this for 500 yuan? ”

Xie Fang laughed, "This is a customer's customized product!" 500 pieces? It's far from buying Yabai wool! You can't buy a small piece of a fingernail cover...... My dear sister Xiaoxiao! ”

Yang Xiaoxiao was stunned, "So expensive?" Do you still have customers? No wonder I always feel that you are rich, and although the scholarship is generous, it is not enough for you to spend as much money as lavishly! It turns out that you can make money by playing this! ”

"I carved this, of course, to make money! This is called making money! Money is not saved by saving, but earned! ”

The solution was helpless, so he had to explain a little and popularize the knowledge of Yabai a little, "This piece of wool belongs to the best collection of Taihang Yabai: aged material + tumor scar." Aged material is the best material that has been grown for thousands of years and weathered after death, and this kind of material is rare! Now the lack of Yabai resources, such materials are even more difficult to find, the appreciation space is huge, very suitable for investment collection, the current price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. ”

This time, Yang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in surprise and opened her mouth wide, "Wool is so expensive?" Is this the wool you bought with your own money, or is it given to you by the customer? You carve this by hand, how much does the customer pay you? ”

"This piece of wool is something I've saved up before. As for wages? I haven't done the math! The total price negotiated with the customer is 1.8 million! ”

“180…… Ten thousand? ”

Yang Xiaoxiao's mouth, at this moment, can directly stuff a big apple into it, "How much do you say?" Is it 1.8 million? Oh, my God...... This ......"

Xie Fang was still smiling, "You heard it right! I have been sending pictures and videos to customers, and the customers are very satisfied, and the deposit has been received 1 million, and there is only 800,000 balance left! So, are you still sure you want me to give it to you? ”

Yang Xiaoxiao looked incredulous, and quickly shook her head and waved her hand.

"I don't want such a precious thing! Having said that, is this root carving you made really so valuable? ”

Yang Xiaoxiao obviously thought that Xie Fang was boasting.

Although the credit value of the solution in the past is still quite high, can such a handmade handicraft really be sold at such a high price? It's really poverty that limits her imagination! However, she thinks that her family is really not poor.

Xie Fang was wearing gloves at the moment, and was practicing Wing Chun at the wooden stake in the corner, and he didn't turn his head back, and while punching quickly, he replied: "Hehe! The wool itself is already very precious, as long as you meet someone who knows the goods, the price is naturally not a problem, and people don't care too much about the price at all! However, it is also a coincidence that this work can be associated with this big customer, and her old man likes it! ”

Yang Xiaoxiao has obviously been accustomed to Xie Fang's daily boxing practice behavior for a long time, and she doesn't feel strange.

She didn't know what she thought, her eyes suddenly lit up, she walked to the stake, watched Xie Fang punching, and her voice became delicate, "Xie Fang, I really can't learn this stake boxing job, I'm afraid of hurting my hand." But I can learn to carve roots! It's so profitable to make this root carving, you can teach me too! I also want to be self-reliant and lighten the burden on my family! Daughters should be self-reliant! I have learned to draw, I have a foundation, I can stick to it! ”

Xie Fang continued to punch on the stake, "Of course you can! However, you need to be mentally prepared! Don't cry when the time comes! ”

Yang Xiaoxiao hurriedly nodded, "I'm not afraid of hardship, I can persevere!" ”

Xie Fang didn't speak, and after another punch, he stopped, took off his gloves, and moved his wrists and fingers again.

She came to the root carving of "Blue Wolf" and pointed to the wolf's head with her finger, "The detailed portrayal here requires a little arm strength, if it can't be done in one go, it will affect its charm." So, you should do push-ups often! Also, spend your own money to buy, good cypress wool is very expensive, to have a certain capital, many people spend a lot of money, may not be able to buy really good materials. ”

She turned her head, her expression was fixed, she looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, and her tone was flat, "The problem of raw materials is not difficult to solve, and you don't necessarily have to use Yabai." The craftsmanship is not refined, it is not recommended to use expensive good materials, you can use ordinary materials to practice your hands first, and buy some cheap root materials...... The roots in my hands basically didn't cost any money, they were all collected by myself, mountains, forests, cliffs, riversides...... Even the firewood in the farmer's house may have some natural raw materials, and if you can endure hardship, you can also find it yourself. However, after the root material is recovered, it is really difficult to peel and clean up the stain, and it is not a big problem to teach you with me......

Yang Xiaoxiao saw that what Fang said made sense, nodded again and again, stretched out her hand and gently touched the wolf's head, and was even more excited about learning to make root carvings.

However, Xie Fang immediately poured a basin of cold water on her.

"But the key is that without ten or eight years of diligent practice, it is not easy to create good works, and if you don't make a name for yourself, it's an ordinary handicraft! It doesn't sell for a good price. The salary you originally talked about depends on whose work it is. ”

"Huh? Ten years, eight years...... Still want to make a name for yourself? ”

"Yes! I started practicing root carving when I was four years old, and this year I have been sixteen years! I wasn't famous before, and I couldn't sell things. Sometimes, the material fee for the sold things has to be pasted upside down, and the wages are free. In the last five years, this has not been the case again......"

Yang Xiaoxiao looked at the solution incredulously. Four-year-old? Still in kindergarten, right? At that time, she didn't know anything but eat, drink and have fun? I think I started to learn how to draw, but I only started learning piano when I was in elementary school......

Xie Fang saw that Yang Xiaoxiao was thinking silently, and he didn't disturb her. When I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and face, I saw that Yang Xiaoxiao was still staring at the root carving of "Blue Wolf" in a daze, and I didn't care about her, put on a mask, and lay comfortably on the bed.

After a few more minutes, Yang Xiaoxiao finally came back to her senses, looking a little depressed, "Xie Fang, it seems that at my age, I am really not suitable for this!" It's impossible to make money, it's okay as a pastime! If I can't make much money, I don't want to do this! Let me ask you, how did you make a name for yourself? ”

Xie Fang closed his eyes and lay on the bed without moving, "Why is it not suitable for your age?" You're the best age for you! The golden age of entrepreneurship with ingenuity! It's just that the profits are not so fast in a short period of time, and the profits will not be very high. If you can stick to it for a long time, just like playing the piano, you will also gain a lot! ”

Xie Fang saw that Yang Xiaoxiao was indeed a little moved, so he continued: "If you are really determined, I suggest that you have the best to collect root materials by yourself. Finding the root material with strange materials and shapes is the most important step to increase the price of root carving...... As for how I became famous, if I want to talk about it, it's really a long story......"
