Fight the Giants

  Chapter 350 for what

  In the fan workshop, there were a lot more people than Huo Xi came last time.

  Huo Xi was just a middleman at the beginning, but later his business grew, and he didn't expect to have a women's workshop and a fan workshop.

  Maybe all businessmen in the world have the same number of ways.

  When I had no capital at the beginning, I became a middleman, buying other people’s goods to sell, buying low and selling high to make a difference. When the business grows bigger and I have my own sales and brand, I want to have my own products.

  Just seeing other people's products selling well, makes my heart itchy enough to grow grass.

  Huo Xi didn't expect that from the beginning, he only wanted to win over the women from Qionghua Lane, and only planned to do some business processing. He didn't expect to have two workshops after doing it.

  In addition to the sugar workshop on Zhuangzi, she also has three unique products of her own.

  Walking in the fan workshop now, I also feel a little emotional.

  There are many types of fans, and it is impossible to make all kinds of fans. Now the fan shop mainly makes round fans, folding fans, waist fans, bamboo silk fans and sandalwood fans.

  Nowadays, even if half of the process is put on Zhuangzi, the fan workshop is still crowded.

  Fans are not limited to fan surfaces, fan bones, fan nails, etc. It also has many accessories, such as fan pendants, fan covers, fan boxes, fan boxes, and fan cabinets.

  Even if the women’s workshop receives the production of fan-faced fans and fan covers, the fan workshop only makes other things, which requires a lot of processes and craftsmen.

   Walking in the fan workshop, she knew that Shen Qianzhong's house was still too small.

  Walking into the folding fan room, I saw the master craftsman leading two apprentices splitting bamboo. The ground occupied a large area, and there were bamboo sawdust, bamboo shreds, bamboo skin and other things everywhere, and I frowned.

  The selection of materials, splitting, and peeling of the bamboo are all done in Zhuangzi, and then sent to the workshop? Why did you move bamboo and wood to the workshop again?

   Step forward.

   One, the other, and the young were concentrating on their work. When they saw her coming, they looked up.

  When Huo Xi revealed his identity, Weng Liangyou hurriedly pulled his cousin Weng Yaofeng to stand up to say hello, but the old man sat on the stool without moving. He just looked at her with a straight face, as if he blamed her for delaying his work.

   All craftsmen have tempers, and the more capable a craftsman is, the weirder his temperament will be.

  Huo Xi is different from the people nowadays who look down on craftsmen. She likes these professionals very much. Kneel down in front of the old man's head, hugging his knees to watch him work.

  The old man’s first two grandsons looked at her while working. I heard that the owner was not very old, but I didn’t expect it to be so young. Sure enough, my grandfather was right, there are people outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains.

  The old man ignored Huo Xi and just buried himself in his work.

Huo Xi looked at it for a while, saw him chopping the bamboo thread with his own hands, and said: "Your old man is one of the best fan makers in a hundred kilometers, why bother to chop the bamboo yourself? Let Zhuangzi do the first steps. Are you a poor fan?" easy?"

  The old man gave her a sideways glance: "What do you know, kid."

   "I'm a layman, so I want to ask you for advice."

Seeing that she had a good attitude, the old man glanced at her and said, "Do you think it's easy to make a fan? A good craftsman has to go up the mountain to choose wood and bamboo. For a good wood, he may have to be by his side. Keep it for a few years."

While talking, his subordinates kept on saying, "From chopping back, to every process, you have to do it yourself, and the fan you make has life. For example, if you hand over every process to someone else, the speed is fast, but that's not a craftsman. Teacher's own things."

  Uh... Huo Xi was a little speechless.

  Nowadays, the industry has not yet sprouted, and it has to be made by hand. A craftsman has to do it himself from the selection of materials to the cutting of materials. How many months and a year does it take to make a fan, and there are still shops selling it?

  Huo Xi tilted his head and looked at him.

   This is obviously a master of advanced customization, who disdains things that come out of the assembly line.

  Of course she knows that the products produced by high-end order and assembly line are different. But she is a businessman. A businessman must first have products to sell, and the shop must have something to put on the shelves. How many fans can be sold a year? Is this what Guangfengshui can do today?

  Haute Couture or something, of course she wants it too.

   I'm afraid I won't be able to protect it, so I can only touch it quietly, and mix it with mass commodities without showing the mountains and not revealing the water.

   Otherwise, it is hard to say whether it will be sold under the high-end custom brand. I am afraid that the old man and his two grandsons will be robbed by big merchants.

  She is very vulgar, and at this stage, she still plans to focus on flow production. The cool breeze comes slowly is the original intention of the fan.

   began to try to reason with the old man.

  Talk about the difference between mass merchandise and haute couture, and why she wants to make mass merchandise.

  The old man kept his hands on his hands, didn't look at her, and didn't know if he listened to her.

   I think Xia Chong is beyond words.

  Maybe still think that Huo Xi is a businessman who only cares about money, and has different ideas from him. If you don't agree to ask others to make materials, you have to do all the processes yourself.

   "What do you know." The old man said for a long time.

  Huo Xi's mouth was dry, and he was a little angry when he waited for such a sentence.

  She is going to sea next year and needs a large number of fans. Of course she hopes to mass produce them. The old man said so much, she didn't say anything, and said she didn't understand.

"Why don't I understand? You can see that your idea has been solidified. Even if the fan you make is of good craftsmanship, there are some changes in the style. Look at the folding fans you make, those fan heads are still square and square. appearance."

   Now that the sea ban has been lifted, Fan people like Wei Chao fans very much. If your fan shop has nothing new, how can you sell it to others.

   "What's wrong with my fan?"

The old man glared at Huo Xi angrily: "You little boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This folding fan is also called a gentleman's fan. After it is folded, it looks upright, and it looks like a gentleman. What's wrong? "

"It's not that it's not good. It's true that this folding fan is called a gentleman's fan, and it's true that it will be a standard square shape after folding, but do all gentlemen in the world have the same character? Ten kinds of people have ten kinds of preferences. Of course, we need to make more styles. , to attract more people.”

  The old man choked his head and refused to listen.

  He thinks this kind of fan head is popular nowadays, and everyone likes this kind of gentleman fan, and this little kid who doesn't understand anything is just talking nonsense. Whether the style is good or not suitable for eating or drinking depends on the craftsmanship.

  Huo Xi took a semi-finished folding fan next to him, saw that the nails of the fan were made of ox horns, and that the bones of the fan were even more exquisitely crafted, and looked at the head of the fan.

  The head of the fan is the gathering place of the folding fan, and the holding part is the head shape of the fan. Huo Xi only knows about a dozen kinds of fan heads. She is a small business, and if she wants to stand out, she must keep innovating.

  While letting Vanilla go to the workshop to find charcoal pencils and paper, she broke with the old man.

  Wait for Xiangcao to find the paper and pen, Huo Xi drew more than ten kinds of fan heads on the paper.

"You see, there are many types of fans in the world, and there are many styles of the heads of this fan. In addition to the square head nowadays, there are also round heads, flat heads, and pointed heads. According to various shapes, there are magnolia heads, Piba heads, and monk heads. Gourd head, cloud head, goose head, swallow tail head, sunflower petal head..."

  The old man kept his hands on his hands, but his eyes slanted away.

"Look, with so many styles, isn't there more room for choice? Then the fans you make are still sold? If you add your craftsmanship and innovation, wouldn't it be more expensive? Or are you The fans you made are not for sale? You are not short of money, and you don’t intend to support your family, just a hobby?”

  The old man was stunned by what she said.
