Chapter 300 News of Kang Fang's descendants and Kang Fang porcelain
"Lao Liao, our security office has been initially established and is in urgent need of a large number of experts.
You are a former imperial guard, so you should know many retired imperial guards masters, right?
Can you pull them over?"
After a wedding banquet, Zhang Junping and Liao became so familiar that they called Lao Liao directly.
"Manager, leave this matter to me! I promise to bring over all the masters of the Forbidden Army who have retired in the past two years." Liao Bushi said happily.
In this era, unlike later generations, the Forbidden Army was scrambled by various bosses after retiring.
In this era, even the Forbidden Army, after being discharged from the army, is like ordinary soldiers. Those who should go home to farm will be soldiers in the city. Those who are relevant can find employment, and those who are irrelevant can stay at home and wait for a job.
Therefore, after the masters of the Forbidden Army retire, they still have to face the practical problems of finding a job and supporting their families.
Zhang Junping was willing to accept the masters who retired from the Forbidden Army, and Liao Bushi was certainly happy.
He knew, however, that there was no quota limit for the Security Office, and the art company could recruit as many as they wanted.
Of course, the price of having no restrictions is that all newly recruited security guards are contract temporary workers, not even workers.
But even such a contracted temporary worker is the target of countless people's competition.
"Although our superiors have not limited the number of places for us, I think it should not be too outrageous. We have tentatively decided to recruit 100 new people."
Liao Bushi almost choked.
Good guys, one hundred people, it’s still tentative!
"Manager, isn't one hundred people a bit too much?" Liao Bushi asked cautiously.
"Not many! One hundred people will definitely not be enough in the future, but it is enough for the time being.
Come on, Lao Liao.
Let me show you the future plans of our art company!" Zhang Junping led Liao Bushi to a world map.
"Did you see it? All cities with five-pointed stars will have stores of our art company in the future.
Calculate how many security guards it would take for a store to have six security guards?" Zhang Junping pointed at the map and said.
"How can we have a store in such a city?" Liao Bushi opened his mouth in surprise.
He felt that he was from the Imperial Guard, and had served as a personal guard for a big boss. He followed the big boss all over the country, both at home and abroad, so he should be considered a person who has seen the world.
But today, he was really shocked by the world map in front of him.
"In the future, this is the city where we plan to open stores in the future." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"If you are in trouble, then we will directly advertise in the newspaper and recruit nationwide!" Zhang Junping added.
"It's not embarrassing, not at all! Manager, just leave this matter to me! Just a hundred people! Even two hundred people, I can find them for you!" Liao Bushi hurriedly patted his chest and promised.
Good guy, what if the leaders of the Imperial Guard knew that there were once a hundred job opportunities in front of them, but they lost them due to their own reasons. If they had to compete with others, they would have to take off their own skin?
"Okay, then let's recruit 200 people!
If you have extra, you can do something else temporarily." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Well········"
Liao Bushi was shocked again. Such a serious matter of recruitment was decided so casually?
In fact, this was not random, but had been planned by Zhang Junping.
Soldiers from the Imperial Guard may not be among the best in the country in terms of military quality, but they are definitely professional in the field of security.
Moreover, all of them are tall and tall, and all look good.
Such security can definitely enhance the image of an art company.
"Okay! I will definitely recruit all the 200 places!" Liao Buyi gritted his teeth.
With his ability alone, he would definitely not be able to recruit 200 masters of the Forbidden Army, so he would have to go to the old leader of the army.
I think the old chief will be very happy when he hears this news.
Because, in order to solve the employment problem of demobilized soldiers, the old chief often called the local government to ask for help.
I don’t know how many favors I have done over the years.
"Old Liao, are you going to ask the head of your Imperial Guard to give you a contact person?" Zhang Junping suddenly spoke up and directly stated his plan.
"yes!"
"Which... that! Old Liao! You said that you helped your old leader solve such a big problem. Does he have to reward you with something?"
"..." Liao Bushi looked at Zhang Junping in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"Um, you! Don't be so practical. Don't refuse the things the old chief gives you.
For example, the old chief has endless supply of special cigarettes. We don’t want giant pandas, just have special supply to China.
There are also Maotai Wuliangye and other things. The old leader can’t drink them all anyway, so you can bring back some more to help the old leader digest them." Zhang Junping rubbed his hands.
Liao Bushi was stunned by Zhang Junping's sudden lewd expression, and thought to himself: You are a real dog.
This was the first time I saw someone dare to hit Qiu Feng, the old leader, and he was so confident.
But after thinking about it, it's not impossible. The old chief is getting older, and the doctor has repeatedly warned him not to smoke or drink alcohol. He should keep it. In the end, he didn't know which one was cheaper.
Liao Bushi nodded excitedly, "I understand, manager! Well, I'll go find the old chief right now!"
"Wait!" Zhang Junping stopped Liao Bushi, "Take my car! How much can you get by riding a bicycle?"
"Manager, you are not an ordinary dog!" Liao Bushi said silently, took the car keys and started to drive.
Zhang Junping smiled proudly and continued playing with his wood.
During this time, Zhang Junping has produced many wood carving works.
Some of these works were given away by him casually, while others were taken away by Chen Lijun to enrich the company's art inventory.
While I was playing with the wood, a man came in laughing.
"Hahaha! Brother, are you playing with wood again?" Li Kaihe walked in with a big smile.
"Brother Li, what kind of wind has brought you here?" Zhang Junping quickly stood up to greet him.
"Dongfeng!" Li Kaihe replied with a smile.
"Xiangzi, make tea for Director Li! Use that Longjing tea!" Zhang Junping asked Li Kaihe to sit on the sofa, and then told Xia Guoxiang.
"This tea is good! Mingqian Longjing or Shifeng Longjing. I drank it once at the leader's place. I still remember the taste." Li Kaihe took a sip of tea and shook his head in thought.
"Okay! Don't be sore there! I'll get you a pound when I leave in a moment!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Hey! I knew, brother, you must have something good here." Li Kaihe didn't give in and just accepted it with a smile.
"This is not to prepare for a literary party on Sunday. Come here to see if you, a busy person, have time." Li Kaihe said with a smile.
"Don't talk about those nonsense. Brother Li, just talk about it directly if you have something to do. If you talk about art gatherings, then I really don't have time." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Yes! I knew I couldn't hide it from you, brother!" Li Kaihe didn't care and said with a smile: "This is not because the production task is heavy this year and the coking coal quota is not enough. I wanted to see if you, brother, can think of a way.
.”
"How much?"
"Three hundred thousand tons!"
"Okay, I'll find a way!
However, it’s all a public matter, and I won’t be polite here!”
What Zhang Junping means is that we are all doing things for the public, not private matters.
Since it is a business matter, it must be done in a public manner and everyone should communicate with each other.
"Brother, if there is anything that my brother can do, just mention it! As you said, it's all public affairs. We use favors to do family work, and we can't add anything to it."
"That's not the case! My Zhiweizhai is planning to expand its scale and build seven new restaurants next month!
I need to trouble Brother Li to fix this steel bar!"
"Okay! No problem, brother, you can use it. Isn't that just a matter of words? Don't tell me that you will help me get coking coal. Even if you don't get coking coal, I'll use it first!" Li Kaihe agreed readily.
"Okay! I'll make a phone call first to get in touch!" Zhang Junping didn't hesitate to pick up the phone and start making calls.
After much searching, I finally found Niu Qingkui.
"Brother Niu! I'm Zhang Junping!
How have you been lately? Have you hugged the beauty?"
"Brother Zhang?! Hahaha! Thanks to you! I'm planning to get married next week. Didn't I just talk about you and say that I'll treat you to a wedding banquet when you come?"
Are you from Shandong, your hometown?
We Shandong people really can’t help but talk about it!
Whenever you have time, come to the Northeast, and my brother will treat you to a drink!"
Niu Qingkui was really happy. As soon as Zhang Junping said something, he started talking a lot.
"Brother Niu, this is your fault! You didn't even plan to notify me of such a big thing as getting married!"
"Brother, it's my brother's fault. It's not because we are too far apart. I'm sorry to trouble you!" Niu Qingkui said with some guilt.
"Okay, Brother Niu, if nothing else, when are you getting married next week? I have to go there!" Zhang Junping interrupted Niu Qingkui and said.
"Here, brother, there's no need to make a special trip. I'll wait for you to come whenever you have time. It's the same for us to get together again."
"Brother Niu, stop talking, I will definitely go there.
By the way, you are getting married. Do you still need anything? You should not be short of anything else. For other things, you can ask your sister-in-law to see what you want. It is not easy to buy from you. When I went there
, I’ll take it to you.
We have agreed, I will just run errands for you and do the shopping for you. How much will it cost? How much will you pay me back!" Zhang Junping blocked Niu Qingkui's mouth with one sentence.
If you refuse, you can't say anything.
"Okay! Brother, thank you first. Please wait until I come back to discuss with your sister-in-law to see what you need, and then I'll call you!"
After a few more polite words, Zhang Junping left Niu Qingkui's phone number and ended the call.
"Okay! I originally wanted Xiangzi to make a trip, but now I'll go there myself!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junping said to Li Kaihe with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, it would be better if you go there in person!
In this way, you can figure out when to go, give me a call, and I will arrange a ticket for you. It will definitely be a soft sleeper.
I will pay all the round trip expenses." Li Kaihe promised with a smile.
"Forget it about tickets, travel expenses, etc., we are all short of that." Zhang Junping smiled and waved his hand.
It's all a matter of exchange of favors, there's no need to be so petty.
"Alright!
Well, there is really a gathering of literary friends on Sunday, brother, why don't you go and help me organize the event?" Li Kaihe asked in the end, unwilling to give up.
"I'm not going! I'm afraid if I go, I'll ruin the place for you." Zhang Junping smiled and rejected Li Kaihe's invitation.
Li Kaihe's so-called literary gathering was a gathering of calligraphy and painting enthusiasts.
If that's all it is, then it's okay to go.
However, the problem is that people like Li Kaihe did not learn much about the artist's skills, but they learned a lot about the artist's quirks.
A group of LSPs take advantage of women and engage in underground transactions in the name of literary gatherings.
Zhang Junping would not dare to attend such a gathering.
Maybe it would have exploded that day, but it would have hurt both others and myself.
Therefore, ever since he figured out the secret behind the so-called gathering of literary friends, Zhang Junping never dared to attend it again.
Yang Shankui was the same. He rarely attended Li Kaihe's gatherings of literary friends. He only went once because he couldn't save face.
After sending Li Kaihe away, Zhang Junping continued to play with the wood.
The next day, Zhang Junping received a call from Niu Qingkui, asking Zhang Junping to bring a Leica camera over.
Niu Qingkui's partner is a bit of a bourgeois literary person and likes photography.
So please ask Zhang Junping to buy a Leica camera to please his wife.
For Zhang Junping, this is a piece of cake.
Zhang Junping called to book train tickets for Monday and then waited patiently.
········
"Old Niu is back!" Zhang Junping smiled and let Niu Wensheng sit on the sofa, and arranged for Xia Guoxiang to make tea for him.
"Manager, I didn't handle things well this time when I went to JDZ, and I'm not worthy of your trust." Niu Wensheng reflected on himself as soon as he sat down.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Why are you so angry like this?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Alas! It was going quite smoothly. I arrived at JDZ, met a few old friends, and also found a batch of modern-fired collectible porcelain.
When I proposed a long-term cooperation with JDZ Porcelain Factory and fired collectible porcelain for us, that person got in the way." Niu Wensheng said angrily.
"Who! With such great energy and a clear win-win situation, you can mess up something?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"He is the director of JDZ Porcelain Factory. The secretary and the director are competing for the right to speak in the factory. Originally, the secretary and I had a good discussion, but the director got mixed up.
It is said that their porcelain factory is a big exporter and does not need our art company to step in and peel off a layer of skin.
They also said that we are vampires and want to suck the blood of their porcelain factory.
After being instigated by him, the old masters in the factory also expressed their opposition, and the secretary could no longer make a strong decision."
"Um!
Lao Niu, is there more than one porcelain factory in JDZ? If the first porcelain factory doesn't agree to cooperate, then find the second and third porcelain factories to cooperate." Zhang Junping didn't take it seriously and said with a smile.
"I contacted you, but I was all messed up by that idiot."
"If a large porcelain factory doesn't work, then switch to a small one. Aren't the so-called porcelain factories all grown up from a young age? Are there no porcelain factories in the counties or towns below that are willing to cooperate with us?"
"There must be some, but those small porcelain factories have poor technology and cannot produce collection-grade porcelain." Niu Wensheng said frustratedly.
"Besides, if that bitch lets out words, the small porcelain factory below won't dare to offend him."
"Lao Niu, do you have a grudge against him? Otherwise, even if he refuses to cooperate with us, he won't fight you to death! This is the rhythm of offending him to death." Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Alas! This matter has to start with my master. At that time, my master was the owner of a famous antique shop in Sijiu City, and he was also a master of antique appraisal.
The factory director's surname was Kang, and he was a descendant of Kang Fang. After Kang Fang was exposed by my master, he disappeared. Unexpectedly, decades later, his descendant actually became the director of JDZ Ceramics Factory No. 1."
"Good guy, it's interesting. A descendant of a fake Kang imitation turned into the director of a porcelain factory.
It turns out that we followed your master and suffered a lot.
Wait, I'll go back to Xiangjiang and I'll have to let him treat me." Zhang Junping joked.
"Manager, look at this!" Niu Wensheng said, taking out a large colorful bowl and putting it on the coffee table.
Zhang Junping narrowed his eyes and reached out to pick up the colorful bowl.
"A large bowl of Kangxi's Five Blessings with branches and peach patterns? Lao Niu, you are so lucky!" Zhang Junping said subconsciously.
"No, this thing is wrong!" Zhang Junping then denied his opinion.
I searched carefully for a while on the patterns such as peaches and bats, and then put down the big bowl with relief, "This is a good imitation!"
"The manager has great eyesight!" Niu Wensheng first flattered Zhang Junping, and then took out a large colorful plate and two small colorful bowls from his bag.
"Are you stealing Kang Fang's nest?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Manager, I suspect that the descendants of Kang Fang, that is, Director Kang, are firing antique porcelain under the cover of the porcelain factory." Niu Wensheng expressed his suspicion.
"Hmm! Your inference is very likely that these items were not fired for a long time, and the glare on them has not receded, otherwise it would be difficult to distinguish." Zhang Junping nodded.
"Alas! You said you have such a good craftsmanship, why do you insist on doing these crooked ways instead of following the right path?"
“Money comes quickly!”
"Haha! Lao Niu, in the past, your statement would have been true, but now, if you sincerely cooperate with our art company, you will make a lot of money.
Moreover, by cooperating with us, you will gain both fame and fortune." Zhang Junping shook his head and said.
"Let's do this! I'll handle the matters at JDZ.
You’re ready to take office!”
"Preparation for taking office?"
"Yes! Since Director Kang doesn't agree to cooperate, I'll give him a blow. I'll buy the entire first, second, and third porcelain factory for him. I'll see how he can refuse.
After I take over JDZ Porcelain Factory 1, 2 and 3, I will mobilize elite talents to set up a fine porcelain factory, and how about you becoming the director?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Manager, can I do this?"
"Why can't it work? Your skills in porcelain are no worse than those of his descendants, but you are taking the right path."
"Okay! Since the manager thinks highly of me, I will be the director of this fine porcelain factory." Niu Wensheng was also a cheerful person, and he agreed without further hesitation.
"That's right!
Let me try first to see if I can help you remove the resistance." Zhang Junping stood up with a smile, walked to his desk, and picked up the phone.
