Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1594 Examination and Exhibition

Clover Company also has a very strong overseas relationship and technical background, and its financial strength is also quite strong. Therefore, after getting permission from the ministry, Zhou Zhi found another way and took the Hong Kong Island route through Li Laoer, allowing Heheng Group to build on the original basis. Another line was applied for to connect Clover Company and Shu University campus network through a dedicated line.

It is quite easy to apply for a line from the United States to Hong Kong Island. On the contrary, it takes a lot of effort to connect the dedicated line from Hong Kong Island to Guangdong Province, and then from Guangdong Province to the capital of Shu.

Fortunately, Lao Hu, a ministerial-level chairman who came out of the system, provided strong assistance, otherwise this matter would have been extremely difficult to coordinate.

This line has now become one of the key tasks of the current Internet construction like the four major backbone networks. In fact, it operates independently and is prepared to first unite universities in the southwest and northwest regions, but it is nominally part of the China Education and Scientific Research Computer Network—— Western Education Network.

The current Western Education Network is busy at two ends: one is connecting various universities in the region, and the other is connecting to the four major backbone networks, and together they are building a high-speed network for China's Internet communications.

So Zhou Zhi is still quite busy. Although others are doing everything, as investors and managers, we have to constantly listen to reports, make judgments, give instructions, and communicate. The only comfort is that these things are at the national and provincial levels. Relevant departments paid great attention to it, gave strong support, and gave the green light all the way. It was very smooth.

The remaining time is the time to review your homework.

On Jiang Shuyi's side, the study tasks this semester began to become very intense, and the correspondence and phone calls between the two gradually became less and less. Later, Jiang Shuyi began to prepare for the TOFEL test, and the two agreed to suspend communication. , sprint with all your strength until the final exam is over and then contact you.

The Chinese Department of Shu University also proposed a small reform plan in the last month of this semester, which is to divide the courses into elective courses, minor courses, and basic courses, and arrange exams in four weeks respectively. It is not like before, where the exams are arranged to be completed in one week according to the learning progress of the class.

Calculating this way, we only need to deal with two or three courses a week, which makes it a lot easier for students to review for exams. As soon as the news came out, the whole department cheered.

Later, this method became a model for other departments to learn from, and eventually became the mainstream way of organizing examinations in universities across the country.

In fact, no one would have thought that the original intention of this matter was just to allow Zhou Zhi to arrange the exam density for eighteen subjects.

It was possible to open a small stove, but Gu Lao and Zhou Zhi both refused, thinking that it would easily poke someone's spine.

Since you don't want to do any special tricks or cheat, then just follow all the students for reference in an open and fair manner. Only in this way will it be fair.

It was indeed a lot easier for the students, but for Zhou Zhi, the intensity was still about the same as the previous finals, and even the time was extended.

Zhou Zhi could only comfort himself that next semester would be fine. This semester would be more difficult and tiring, and the courses left for him in the next semester would even be less than those of his classmates in the second semester of a normal sophomore year.

Of course, specialization cannot be completely avoided, because except for the six or seven courses in this class, for the rest, Zhou Zhi had to share an examination room with juniors and even seniors.

So it often happens that when everyone is about to start the exam, the invigilator comes in with a boy who is obviously a junior, and points to the "death seat for cheating" where no one is sitting in the front row: "Classmate Zhou Zhi Just sit here and take the exam well..."

Not everyone likes the course of oracle bone inscription appreciation, and a large number of people are "ignorant of outside world affairs and only focus on reading the books of sages." Therefore, there are still a majority of people who don't know Zhou Zhi, and the students are very happy. Seeing someone come to fill the vacancy under the teacher's nose, and then feeling lucky that the teacher didn't ask all the students to move forward one row. In such a weird exam atmosphere, Zhou Zhi passed the exams one by one.

For more than a month, Zhou Zhi missed the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Treasures·Yangyuetang Zhaoxitang Yangdetang Suzhou Jade Carving Factory Jade Sculpture Joint Exhibition" in Hong Kong Island.

This is the highest-level jade carving exhibition so far. The three jade collectors are all well-known jade collectors in Hong Kong. They have collected exquisite jade carvings from the Neolithic Age to the Qing Dynasty. Many of them are treasures comparable to those in the National Museum of the Forbidden City. , and rarely take it out for everyone to enjoy.

The most eye-catching thing here are several jade articles signed "Zigang".

The jade wares owned by the three collectors come from the Ming and Qing dynasties respectively. One jade plaque comes from Lu Zigang's contemporaries, and the rest are imitations of later generations.

However, the level of craftsmanship of these Zigang imitations is also very high, especially the three pieces produced by the internal production office during the Qianlong period, which are 90% similar.

However, it is several "contemporary Lu Zigang" from the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory who are hyping up the news in Hong Kong.

The standards of this jade carving exhibition are extremely high, and the country also attaches great importance to it. The minister of the Ministry of Light Industry of Suzhou Province personally led the team. The general manager of the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory, Yao Chong, and the chief engineer Xu Zhimian led the team. Zhu Qinghong, Lu Man and Zhang Mingyu were in charge of the exhibition. The jade carving masters of 2000 were all on the list, and they also brought along their most capable apprentices, two new potential masters, Guo Changzheng and Lu Jianghua.

The exhibits brought were also a large display cabinet, and most of them were not for sale. They were custom-made items made from jade materials provided by Zhou Zhi.

It’s funny to say that at present, the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory only uses the ultimate craftsmanship to undertake national-level art works orders. The only thing left is the deposit and materials given by Zhou Zhi, which are worthy of the meticulous carving by several masters. Use your craft to its full potential.

The rest are more about "adapting to market demand", which means using ordinary materials and ordinary craftsmanship, so that most people can afford it.

After all, there are really few rich people in China who are not only rich but also like to collect high-end jade carvings.

Therefore, when the invitation letter from Hong Kong Island was sent to the factory, Yao Chong was completely stunned. In this joint exhibition, the three collectors from Hong Kong Island brought out their family's treasures from the bottom of the box, and Li Qiyan's request for the jade carving factory was to provide as much as possible. Contemporary carvings with exquisite craftsmanship, similar themes and similar categories are gathered together with ancient artifacts.

Before Zhou Zhi visited the jade carving factory, the relevant units would also put forward requirements for the "national orders" the jade carving factory received, but basically they were to reflect the people's new life and praise the new era. The themes were all high-end, and the character carvings were either Modern people, or those from ethnic minorities, finally carved a statue of Guanyin, the Water Moon, which has been displayed in the factory for a long time, and they can't find a next owner to take it over.

Nowadays, these finely crafted works are not available at the Hong Kong Island Exhibition. Except for a batch that has been sent to Zhou Zhi and is being processed, the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory really has nothing to show for it.

The superior also said that this matter can only be done well, not badly! At the critical moment, all he could do was brainstorm. Fortunately, Xu Zhimian remembered that there should be a batch of jade articles carved by his master and two master workers in the factory more than five years ago in the warehouse of the Light Industry Department. There were about 20 or 30 pieces.

The jade quality of that batch of jade is similar to that of Zhou Zhi's jade material. If the batch of jade sent to Zhou Zhi is borrowed back, plus the second batch that has been carved for him, it will almost be enough to cope with the exhibition. ?

So Yao Chong called Zhou Zhi again to discuss borrowing the exhibits.
