Chapter 473 Returning to Beijing and Starting the Chinese New Year Visit
After Zhang Junping returned to BJ, he did not relax.
It's the end of the year, and many relationships need to be visited.
In addition to some leaders, there are also some old artists and craftsmen in China.
In fact, the artistic achievements of some old craftsmen are no worse than those of old artists, such as the jade carving master Liu Deying and the tooth carving master An Qingxiang. Their achievements in calligraphy and painting are also very high, but they are used to thinking of themselves as craftsmen.
Zhang Junping needs to visit these old artists and craftsmen in Beijing in person.
As for those outside, make a phone call to greet them, and then arrange for someone to deliver the gift to your door.
Make sure everyone feels respected.
"Mr. Liu, I heard that you are retiring this year. I wonder how Mr. Liu has considered the matter I mentioned before?" In Liu De Winner, Zhang Junping directly changed the topic after chatting for a few words.
He personally visited these old artists. The purpose of the old craftsmen was to open Tianji Pavilion after the spring.
Zhang Junping had approached Liu Deying before, hoping that Liu Deying could come to Tianji Pavilion to teach and pass on his jade carving skills.
Zhang Junping can also understand this. After all, jade carving is a relatively popular craft. There is never a shortage of apprentices and there is no worry about the inheritance being cut off.
The price is a little more expensive than planned, but not outrageous.
Ten Tan Jiu Kong is not a simple talk.
Old Redwood is the name of Sijiu City, and in the south it is called Dahong Rosewood.
However, Zhang Junping was not discouraged. Liu Deying was not necessary for him.
"That's okay, Brother Yang, please take the trouble." Zhang Junping felt relieved.
It's not that I don't want to get small-leaf rosewood, that one is more pretentious.
However, Liu Deying was a little hesitant, or perhaps not very enthusiastic.
"Okay, give me a call when you get in touch." Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
"It's not because of you. The factory got a batch of New Year's benefits last year."
If this spreads out, your Tianji Pavilion will become famous." Yang Shankui couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
The first person I invited hit a snag.
Under such circumstances, it is normal that Liu Debing is not enthusiastic.
"Brother Yang, how have you been busy lately?" Zhang Junping came to the woodwork factory and found Yang Shankui who was creating in the workshop.
Zhang Junping even imported old redwood from Myanmar and Vietnam through the forces controlled by Gao Yuan Korea, and the price was very cheap.
"Haha, aren't I looking for an excuse?" Yang Shankui said with a laugh.
Unfortunately, Gao Yuanchao's tentacles have not yet reached India, and even in India, red sandalwood aniseed is a scarce resource.
"Brother Zhang, what you said is true.
Of course, you need to pay taxes when entering the country. With taxes and fees, the price is slightly more expensive than pine, but not much.
There is no need for him to work hard to promote it, countless people and media will rush to help him promote it.
"If you don't come today, I'm going to call you in the next few days to have a meal together and thank you." Yang Shankui said with a smile.
"Thanks to your brother, my furniture factory is quite prosperous." Yang Shankui laughed and stepped forward to hug Zhang Junping.
However, old redwood can be called Siamese rosewood, but Siamese rosewood cannot be called old redwood.
Cheaper than buying pine wood in the country.
One hundred and eight pavilions, naturally, all kinds of office furniture and living furniture are indispensable.
"It's good if it's booming! If it's booming, it means workers get wages and bonuses," Zhang Junping said with a smile.
After working as a jade carver all my life, getting old is like taking a good rest, fishing in my spare time, and entertaining my grandchildren." Liu Deying finally shook his head and declined Zhang Junping's invitation.
"Brother Yang, what you said is that if I forget someone, I can't forget Brother Yang either!"
"I said, brother, you are really extravagant. One hundred and eight buildings are all made of old mahogany furniture.
Therefore, Zhang Junping could only do the next best thing and use old redwood instead.
It can be regarded as a time difference. At this time, the price of old redwood is still at a low level.
"Isn't this a trivial matter? Is it worth treating you to a special dinner?" Zhang Junping said with a careless smile.
What are you doing here today?" Yang Shankui asked Zhang Junping with a smile as he asked Zhang Junping to the reception area, made him some tea.
"What's going on! Do you have to treat me to dinner to express my gratitude?"
It can be said that those who want to learn from Liu Debing should queue up on Chang'an Street.
After Liu De emerged as the winner, Zhang Junping sighed, it was really a bad start.
Ten or twenty years later, all the furniture in Tianji Pavilion will be made of small-leaf red sandalwood, which will definitely be the envy of everyone.
"Chairman Zhang, as an old man, my hands are starting to shake. I can't move anymore and I don't want to do it anymore.
There is something better. Liu Deying is relatively well-known in the jade carving circle. In the early days of Tianji Pavilion's establishment, it was able to better enhance its reputation and build up the Tianji Pavilion brand.
After coming out of Liu Deyingying, Zhang Junping visited several old craftsmen again, and the results were good or bad. Some agreed, and some still declined.
"It's almost done. I'll deliver it to your home in the spring next year. I promise it won't delay your use." Yang Shankui promised with a smile.
"Isn't this the Chinese New Year? Come and see you!"
No, it doesn't matter much.
It is really difficult to collect enough furniture for 108 buildings.
With the reform and opening up, although supplies are still relatively tight now, they are no longer as tight as before, and there are more and more unplanned supplies.
Even, I am proud to be able to visit Tianji Pavilion.
"Okay! Then I won't disturb Mr. Liu's enjoyment of his old age. In the future, if Mr. Liu is restless and wants to come out for a walk, I will welcome Mr. Liu at the gate of Tianji Pavilion at any time." After Zhang Junping said some scene words
, then said goodbye and left.
Tianji Pavilion will be officially opened soon. If it is delayed because of the furniture, it will be a joke.
"By the way, are all the furniture ordered from Tianji Pavilion ready?" After chatting, Zhang Junping talked about another thing.
"Thank you, thank you! It's rare that you still remember me, brother!" Yang Shankui said with a smile.
In order to show his strength, Zhang Junping requested that all old redwood be used.
Because old redwood is a type of Siamese rosewood, and Siamese rosewood is a large type of wood.
This is not the first time Yang Shankui has lamented. The first time he heard Zhang Junping say that all the furniture should be made of old mahogany, it was very suitable. Yang Shankui almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Even now, every time he talks about this matter, Yang Shankui can't help but sigh.
"Brother Yang, this is the effect I want. By the way, don't forget, you can be one of the teaching elders of Tianji Pavilion.
In terms of wood art, it’s up to you, Brother Yang, to support the show." Zhang Junping reminded with a smile.
"Brother, you flatter me too much. With my little ability, I can't say I'm supporting the scene. It's okay to help you with your disciples."
