Chapter 274 Xiao's Jade Carving Studio
After the attack, Xiao Xingyun was in sanity for a while and was at home with Xu Qingni for a few days, tasting tea and reading books, and raising energy.
It was not until the large number of jade carving equipment he ordered were arranged and debugged and the materials were piled up in the warehouse that he suddenly remembered that even a jade carving master was not recruiting.
However, Xiao Xingyun had no worries and called his master Wu Changyou. The master said that he would make arrangements immediately.
Wu Changyou's jade carving skills gathered the strengths of each family and formed a school of their own. I don't know how many disciples they taught them.
That was just a few disciples who were taught casually and carefully passed down all the secrets.
Gu Qingcheng is one, but Wu Changyou is more optimistic about Xiao Xingyun and thinks that he has a higher understanding. Whether it is his gambling skills or jade carving skills, it is very likely that he will be better than blue from blue.
In fact, Wu Changyou is a professor in the Department of Archaeology at the Imperial Capital University. He is better at archaeology. Unfortunately, Gu Qingcheng and Xiao Xingyun are not very interested in archaeological excavations.
Wu Changyou could understand that because with Gu Qingcheng's family background and the money he earned from the jade business would be endless in his life, so how could he still have the interest in studying ancient tombs?
As for Xiao Xingyun, let alone asking him to study ancient tombs, he was not interested in robbing tombs. He took the risk of illegal activities and worked hard to dig out a bunch of odorous objects. It would be better to go to the raw stone market and cut a few pieces of them casually.
Jade makes a lot of money.
After understanding these, Professor Wu stopped persuading them. Everyone has their own aspirations and the disciples can have fun in their areas of interest.
I found my master to solve the problem of the jade carving master, and Xiao Xingyun signed up for the Yingjiang public market, and it has also been confirmed.
The next day, a master named Zhong called Xiao Xingyun and said that he was invited by Professor Wu to lead a jade carving team to join Xiao Xingyun.
Xiao Xingyun was shocked and did not even discuss the preliminary consultation, so he dared to lead a team to join him.
If you are either incompetent, you have received great kindness from your master.
Without a word, Xiao Xingyun immediately asked Master Zhong to go to the warehouse and negotiate in person.
This is also a two-way choice. Xiao Xingyun needs to check Master Zhong’s jade carving skills and carving style before deciding whether to use him.
Master Zhong also needs to examine Xiao Xingyun's jade carving studio environment and overall strength before considering how long to sign the contract.
He can ignore the issue of salary and benefits, but he has to consider it for the entire team.
He has indeed received great kindness from Professor Wu and can work for Xiao Xingyun for a year for free.
But if the treatment is not good, he will lead the team to leave after he repays his kindness.
At the door of the warehouse, Xiao Xingyun personally welcomed Master Zhong’s arrival.
Master Zhong is in his fifties and has a cultural heritage as a whole. He is surrounded by two disciples in his thirties.
"Welcome to Master Zhong, I am the owner of Xiao's Jade Carving Studio. The opening is rushed and it is only listed. There are still many facilities that are not perfect. Please forgive me."
Xiao Xingyun pointed to the signboard of the jade carving studio that had just been hung at the gate and explained to Master Zhong.
"Boss Xiao is polite. I was invited by Professor Wu and I am going to lead the entire jade carving team, a total of 12 members, to join us. You can take me to visit the place where you work and tell us about the benefits. Don't bother us.
As a craftsman, everyone is a craftsman, so it’s up to this to make a living.”
"What Master Zhong said makes sense, let's talk while walking."
Xiao Xingyun brought the three of them into the warehouse area, pointed to the employee dormitory being built next to them, and said to them: "This is the employee dormitory being built. If you don't want to go home in the future, you can rest here if you don't want to go home. One room is two
There is a bed, hotel apartment-style standard, and a canteen, which provides free three meals a day."
Master Zhong was so moved that this big cake was drawn.
However, this is not important. The working environment and salary are what they care about the most.
Xiao Xingyun said, taking them to the second floor. Seeing the neatly planned and spacious and bright work area, Master Zhong felt particularly comfortable.
He checked the equipment in the entire jade carving workshop and found that it was all the latest high-end equipment and there was no junk item.
"Because jade and jade feel different, I specially divided two areas to avoid the materials being too mixed and affect the work efficiency of the jade carving master."
"Salary benefits are similar to other jade carving studios. The basic salary plus piece-based salary is used. If you make extremely rare fine products, there will be additional rewards."
Master Zhong and his apprentice were basically satisfied with this treatment.
Then, at Xiao Xingyun's request, they used Huanglong jade on the spot to show their design level and carving level.
Xiao Xingyun thought it was good, at least he was more than a little better than a beginner like himself.
So Master Zhong asked him to bring all the members of the team and after passing the test, he would go through the entry procedures.
Afterwards, Wu Changyou introduced Master He to Xiao Xingyun. After a simple test, he was also the first-class level in the jade carving industry.
The original words Wu Changyou said to Xiao Xingyun were: "Xiao Xiao, the management team is not that simple. The two people I found for you have some gaps between them, and the team they led naturally cannot have a harmonious relationship.
As a boss, you can properly reconcile or provoke it appropriately, so that it is easier to control subordinates."
Xiao Xingyun laughed secretly. Master was really worried about him. He even thought of such trivial matters of daily management for him.
After the two teams officially joined, Xiao Xingyun pointed to a pile of Huanglong jade in the warehouse and said, "In the first month, you will first use Huanglong jade to carve it. The carving theme is not limited. You can make popular styles on the market or you can be yourself.
Favorite style.”
"In the second month, you will choose jade carving or jade carving based on your own situation."
Master Zhong hesitated and put forward his own opinions: "Boss, you have tested our jade carving skills, why do you still let us carve Huanglong jade?
This kind of thing is too cheap, most of it is something that costs dozens or hundreds of dollars. Carved out, and only our labor costs can be paid. How do you make money?
It is best to use machine engraving and mass production, which can save a lot of labor costs.”
Master He said to the side: "Whatever the boss asks us to do, we will do what we do. Where did you get so many questions? Among these Huanglong jade materials, there are also good materials worth thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. You don't know the goods.
But the boss knows the goods."
Xiao Xingyun raised his eyebrows, Wow, what a guy, the office struggle has begun now?
What they both said makes sense, but Xiao Xingyun just wanted to test it comprehensively. Earn a little and lose something, which is not the most important issue.
Testing machines, test jade carving masters, test overall expenses, and revenue.
There was no problem, so I used jade materials and Hetian jade materials to officially enter this industry.
