"Improving social status allows us to live a prosperous life.

Interesting!

Manager Zhang, please explain carefully." Liu Deying asked with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, when I talk about improving your social status and living a prosperous life, I am mainly talking about you and the apprentices and grandchildren of your predecessors.

You, as well as all the seniors here are all famous old artists of our BJ.

Everyone has a name in Haizi, so of course there is no need to talk about social status.

The mayor has to respect you even when he sees you." Zhang Junping smiled and complimented.

Liu Deying and others felt very comfortable after listening to Zhang Junping's words.

"Manager Zhang, go on." Liu Deying smiled and nodded.

"As long as you sign a contract with our art company, and according to the contract, hand over the artworks you make in your spare time to us for sale, you can get a deposit of 110 yuan per piece, and after the artworks are sold, you can also

Receive dividends on the sales price, starting from 50% to 50%.

Our art company will also conduct all-round publicity for signed artists in newspapers, magazines, and television to enhance the visibility of signed artists.

In addition, our company also organizes a nationwide craftsman's art competition every year. The winner will not only get more publicity opportunities, but also improve the contract level.

Let me emphasize here that our company's contract signing is divided into levels, with the lowest level being one level and the highest level being nine levels.

If you seniors are willing to sign a contract with us and become our contracted artists, your contract level will be level eight.

You can get a guaranteed deposit of 253 yuan for each piece of work, and you can also participate in the share of the work, 28% of it. Seniors will get 80%, and our company will get 20%.

Moreover, the 20% is not all put into our company's pocket, but we have to pay for publicity expenses and management expenses. Our market is mainly targeted at the international market, and all expenses such as air tickets, accommodation, etc. are all 20%.

Come out from inside."

"Twenty percent, then you can't lose money?" An Qingxiang said.

"You won't lose money. The works of your seniors may only be worth more than a hundred yuan in China, and large works cost several hundred yuan.

However, if you want to take it abroad, you have to start with at least 1,000 yuan.

I’m talking about dollars!”

After Zhang Junping finished speaking, he paused and then continued: "I will ask our team leader Niu to visit all the seniors later and give you detailed answers."

"Manager Zhang, I have a question. You said using your spare time to create works, there is absolutely no problem with this.

However, the raw materials used for jade carving are not cheap.

We old guys don't have much, we all have some good stuff hidden in our hands.

But those young people who have just entered the industry cannot produce jade materials."

"Mr. Liu, we introduced the guarantee fund to help young craftsmen solve this dilemma.

A first-level contracted artist can receive a guaranteed deposit of more than 110 yuan per work.

This money is enough for them to buy raw materials.

In addition, in response to this situation, we have specially set up a raw material procurement department.

Next, all kinds of creative raw materials can be purchased at BJ Painting Store.…

If you really have difficulties, you can apply to the company to receive raw materials for free, and after the artworks are sold, the cost of the raw materials will be deducted from the share."

"Well, your idea is great! I have nothing more to ask. I'll ask Mavericks to find me tomorrow.

We haven't seen each other for a while!" Liu Deying smiled and nodded.

This means that Liu Deying basically agreed to become a contract craftsman.

As for whether he signs it or his disciples and grandsons, it all depends on Niu Wensheng's ability.

"Manager Zhang, I have listened to your contract and I think it is very good for us craftsmen.

It's like you, the artist, and the artwork. We are just craftsmen, and it's okay to make some handicrafts, but we can't make this kind of artwork." The person who spoke was Mr. Fu Xianjiang Fu, the contemporary successor of cloisonné enamel.

"Mr. Fu, this handicraft and art are actually related. In a certain aspect, they are the same thing.

In order to cope with the tasks assigned by our superiors, what we make are handicrafts.

We invest our whole body and soul into our works, and what we create is a work of art.

Of course, this is just an inappropriate metaphor.

I'm not talking about your seniors.

Although it is our first time to meet each other, we still know something about your seniors.

You are able to achieve what you are today because you put all your energy into every piece of work and strive for excellence in making every piece of work.

Therefore, the metaphor I just mentioned is definitely not aimed at your seniors." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"You're welcome, Manager Zhang, we understand what you mean!

In fact, the difference between handicrafts and works of art lies in the care!

We all know this, but not as clearly as Manager Zhang said.

On this point, you can have a good chat with your disciples and grandchildren when you go back.

Only those who understand this truth can improve their craftsmanship." Liu Deying smiled and excused Zhang Junping.

After getting down to business, the wine table instantly became lively again. People came and went to toast and we chatted about the past and present, making the atmosphere on the wine table relaxed and cheerful.

The banquet didn't last long and ended at Liu Debing's suggestion at around eight o'clock.

After Zhang Junping sent everyone away, he returned to the bar.

"Mom, have the squad leader's table left?" Zhang Junping asked while lying on the bar.

"No, I just ordered two more bottles of Maotai! I think I was happy with it.

Ten people drank six bottles of Moutai." Mother Zhang said without raising her head while keeping accounts.

"How many more Maotai do we have?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

Zhang Junping felt really sorry for the Maotai liquor being sold in the store, but as the most upscale hotel in the city, it couldn't be justified without Maotai.

A bottle costs fifty yuan, no tickets required.

This is simply a cabbage price.

However, in the eyes of people in this era, this is a sky-high price.

It only costs 8 yuan a bottle at supply and marketing cooperatives outside, and you just need to show your Moutai liquor ticket to buy it.

In order to ensure the supply of the restaurant, Zhang Junping also made great efforts. Scarface spread to more than a hundred people, and they were present in all pigeon markets in BJ...

They are also found in surrounding cities.

People go all over the world to collect drink tickets, and they want all kinds of drink tickets.

In this way, we can barely meet the wine supply of the restaurant.

Therefore, a bottle of Moutai costs 50 yuan, which is really not expensive and an absolutely conscientious price.

"There are still more than thirty boxes! Do you want wine?" Zhang's mother raised her head and asked.

"I don't have to, I'm just asking. If it's not enough, I can think of a way in advance."

"It's enough. A few days ago, Hou San sent over more than 200 wine tickets, including Maotai Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, and Luzhou."

"Well! Where is my dad?"

"Your dad is studying chess records in the office!

During this time, I became obsessed with playing chess and went out to play chess with the old man in the alley every day."

"That's good! Playing chess is better than drinking!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Don't talk about your dad, and you should drink less. The wine belongs to the public, but the body belongs to you." Mother Zhang raised her head and warned seriously.

"Mom, I know, you see I never drink at home, I only drink a little when something happens.

It’s different now than before, as long as I don’t want to, I don’t have so many social activities.” Zhang Junping said with a smile.

Zhang's mother is still very relieved about this. During the time they moved here, Zhang Junping really rarely went out to drink and socialize.

They all eat at home. The old couple, Qiu Wenyan, and the child's grandfather and grandmother also drink three and a half qian of medicinal wine every day, but Zhang Junping never drinks it.

Zhang Junping was lying on the bar, chatting with Zhang's mother.

After about an hour, Xu Shaomin and his group finally finished and left the private room.

After sending the guests away, Xu Shaomin returned to the bar.

"Oh, you haven't left yet?" Xu Shaomin's face turned red after drinking. When he saw Zhang Junping, he asked with a smile.

"Waiting for you!" Zhang Junping handed Xu Shaomin a cigarette.

"Do you have a problem with me?" Xu Shaomin took the cigarette and lit it with the help of Zhang Junping's fire.

The two of them found a free table and sat down, and the waiter brought them two cups of hangover soup.

"Monitor, I think the guest just now is a small book?"

"Hmm! Is it a small book, or is it from Shinichi Industrial Co., Ltd., you don't know?"

"What do I know!" Zhang Junping laughed.

He also didn't expect that Xu Shaomin would receive people from his company in the evening.

"Haven't they already signed the contract? Why do they still need you, the director, to receive them?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

As the director of the Investment Promotion Office, Xu Shaomin is actually responsible for making connections. After the investment is implemented, he is no longer responsible for it, and various competent departments take over.

"They want to invest in a washing machine factory in China." Xu Shaomin said with a smile.

"Have the textile and television factories we invested in started production?" Zhang Junping asked with a frown.
