Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, school has started for more than three months, and winter vacation is about to begin again.
Over the past three months, Zhang Junping has lived a very fulfilling life.
I spend the morning in the library every day, go to the furniture factory in the afternoon to tinker with and repair old furniture, and practice wood carving or stone carving in the evening.
Zhang Junping's library visits are not limited to CAFA's library, but also the Beijing Municipal Library.
Although I don’t want to admit it, CAFA’s collection of historical materials is far inferior to that of the Beijing Municipal Library.
Not to mention the Beijing Municipal Library, even the libraries of some top schools such as Peking University and Tsinghua University are far inferior.
At first, Zhang Junping was a little bit indifferent to those boring historical materials, but after slowly immersing himself in it, he was instantly fascinated by the charm of history.
Immersed in the charm of history, Zhang Junping will not feel depressed, but will only lament that there is not enough time.
Zhang Junping often laments that time travel and rebirth are not as good as cheating, such as that doctor cheating, gaining knowledge in space, and the outside world stops time.
In this way, he can freely travel through history in space.
"Xiao Pingzi, that's right, you haven't been blinded by fame and fortune." Yang Mingde looked at Zhang Junping with great satisfaction.
Yang Mingde was extremely satisfied with this disciple.
After school started, Zhang Junping transferred to the Sculpture Department to study as a graduate student and formally studied sculpture with the old lady.
It was said that he was learning sculpture from the old lady, but the old lady's teaching to Zhang Junping was basically nothing more than free rein.
In fact, this is also the teaching style of CAFA. It will not force students to learn, learn, and practice various boring basic skills like in middle schools.
It's just that Zhang Junping's care is more thorough. Other CAFA students and graduate students have to complete the teacher's homework. But Zhang Junping doesn't need any of these.
I don’t like the courses, but I don’t like the assignments.
Although the old lady and Yang Mingde never asked about Zhang Junping's homework, it did not mean that they did not care about Zhang Junping.
On the contrary, he paid great attention to Zhang Junping's every move.
Naturally, I am very satisfied with what Zhang Junping has done during this period.
This is not just a matter of satisfaction for Zhang Junping to study hard every day and hone his skills.
I am satisfied that Zhang Junping can calm down to study and hone his skills amidst the overwhelming praise.
What is even more satisfying is that Zhang Junping is already a billionaire, but he is still willing to live an ordinary life and can calm down to study and hone his skills.
A lot has happened in these three months.
Zhang Junping earned great honors for Central America in Xiangjiang. Naturally, Central America would not treat him badly. The school leaders came forward to organize a national exhibition of his works.
After the relevant national departments heard about it, they directly accepted it and turned the exhibition of Zhang Junping's works into a truly national exhibition.
It can be said that Zhang Junping is now one of the most famous young artists in the country.
Speaking of profits, in October, Richard followed Zhang Junping's tips and successfully made Zhang Junping's wealth exceed one billion US dollars, making him a real billionaire.
With so much money, I can buy three bowls of soy milk at a time, or drink one bowl and drink two bowls at a time.
"Hey, fame and fortune are like clouds to me!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"You are said to be fat, but you are still out of breath!" Yang Mingde laughed and scolded.
"Hehe, it's not bad! I've maintained a pretty good figure!" Zhang Junping laughed playfully.
Yang Mingde smiled and shook his head, and did not continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he asked Zhang Junping about his studies, "How have you gained in the past few months?"
"In the past three months, I have mainly studied history and culture, but the more I study, the more I feel that I am far worse, and the more I study, the more I feel shallow." Zhang Junping scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Well, it's good that you can calm down and study history and culture!
Whether it's wood carving, jade carving, or traditional carpentry, if you want to achieve something, you can't do it without hard work, which requires three parts talent and seven parts sweat.
But if you want to reach the level of a master like Lu Zigang, you need one part sweat, two parts talent, and seven parts cultural heritage.
So, no matter what kind of craftsmanship, what matters in the end is culture."
"Yes! I think so too, but I owed too much homework before, and many ancient books seemed very difficult..."
"Well, don't be anxious. Studying history and ancient times is a slow process, so you have to be patient.
By the way! Before you went to Xiangjiang, I told you that we wanted to consolidate the furniture factories in Beijing.
It’s done!”
"Is it done?" Zhang Junping asked with surprise.
"Well! Speaking of which, thanks to your influence, the integration of the furniture factory has finally been finalized with the care of the leaders of the Ministry of Culture and the leaders of the city." Yang Mingde smiled heartily and happily.
After integrating the furniture factories in Beijing, the next step will be to find ways to improve the level of Beijing-made furniture.
Of course, the furniture factories mentioned here refer to those old city-owned state-owned furniture factories.
As for the furniture factories operating on the streets, Yang Mingde looked down upon them.
What he wanted were experienced carpenters who knew the traditional mortise and tenon construction techniques, not the kind of carpenters from street furniture factories who could only use nails.
"What do you mean by this integration?" Zhang Junping calmed down after being surprised and asked slowly.
"We still need to talk!" Yang Mingde said solemnly.
Integrating a furniture factory is not that easy.
Although the leader has agreed and the biggest obstacle is gone, we still need to discuss how to integrate it.
Especially this is not the late 1990s, the early 21st century, this is the early 1980s, when the workers’ big brother was the owner of the factory.
The big brother worker is really not just talking about it.
The fact that the leaders of the ministries and commissions and the city leaders agreed can only be said to be an obstacle from the top. The obstacles from the middle level are gone, but the obstacles from the bottom are still there.
To put it bluntly, if you can't do the work of the general workers, you won't be able to carry it out at all.
If the big brother workers of this era are unhappy, they dare to go to the municipal committee and scold them.
The leaders of the municipal party committee also had to explain with smiling faces.
"Then let's talk!" Zhang Junping nodded, "I will ask Xiangjiang to send someone over to take charge of the specific matters of the integration negotiations."
If private companies were to be integrated, even if they were affiliated with Central America, it would be difficult for workers to do their jobs.
However, it is relatively easy to integrate furniture factories with Xiangjiang companies as the main body.
well!
Although I don't want to admit it, this is the reality.
…
Zhang Junping sent a telegram to Xiangjiang, and Richard quickly sent a negotiating team over.
When Zhang Junping negotiated with Japan's Toyota, Honda and European and American automobile companies, this negotiating team made great achievements and perfectly achieved Zhang Junping's goal.
Of course, Zhang Junping did not treat them badly and gave them generous commissions and generous red envelopes.
As soon as the negotiating team arrived in Beijing, they immediately got to work.
The negotiations went very smoothly. With the support of the leaders, the leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the furniture factory did not bother much during the negotiations. As long as the state-owned assets were not lost, everything else was easy to negotiate.
But when it came time to solicit opinions from employee representatives, problems still arose.
