"In this case, I agree to your terms." Fu Qingyang thought about it, and felt that he was not at a disadvantage. After the establishment of the art company, he and Liu Mei might have a lot of work to do, and they couldn't take care of the carving factory at all, so, It's not bad that Tong Guangyuan is in charge.Otherwise, if you hire a factory manager, you may have to give him [-]% of the shares.

"More Mr. Fu." Seeing that Fu Qingyang agreed, Tong Guangyuan showed joy on his face.

Although the Huayuan Art Carving Factory is in a downturn, after all Tong Guangyuan has been in business for several years. He already has deep feelings for the factory and the people in the factory, and he cannot give up easily.Now, re-investing in the company that Fu Qingyang is planning to build can be said to be an opportunity for him to make a profit while retaining the engraving factory.

"How about we go to the carving factory to see?" What Fu Qingyang wants to know most now is to what extent the masters of the carving factory can achieve their skills.

"Okay, I'll lead the way." Tong Guangyuan nodded.

Tong Guangyuan took Fu Qingyang around the carving factory.Fu Qingyang is very satisfied with the factory buildings and equipment here.After turning around, Tong Guangyuan took Fu Qingyang to the warehouse again. There were two long rows of shelves in the warehouse, which were filled with various carvings, some large and some small.

"Aren't there more delicate carvings?" Fu Qingyang frowned when he saw the carvings on the shelves.

"Yes, the exquisite carvings carved by the old master are all in the small warehouse." Tong Guangyuan saw that Fu Qingyang didn't like the things in the big warehouse, so he took him to a delicate small warehouse.

This small warehouse has obviously been carefully decorated, with good lighting, and the shelves inside are not as careless as the big warehouse just now.The shelves in the small warehouse are exquisitely made, and the shape is not limited to a square form, but there are round, fan-shaped, and other shapes.On these exquisite shelves, there are some exquisite carvings, most of which are small carvings.

Fu Qingyang took one, looked it over carefully, and couldn't help but secretly nodded.The carvings here are obviously much better than those in the big warehouse. Not only are the stones used better in quality, but the carvings are also extremely exquisite.At a glance, the carvings have different shapes, or figures, or animals, flowers and birds, or natural landscapes, all are lifelike.In short, Fu Qingyang is satisfied with the carvings here.

"I don't know what the effect of using the spirit pupil to observe will be?" Fu Qingyang thought, and opened the spirit pupil to observe the statue in front of him.

A faint orange glow emerges on most of the carvings, and occasionally some large carvings are much darker in orange.Seeing the color of Baoguang, Fu Qingyang has a general understanding of the value of these carvings.The value of most of the carvings should be more than 1000 yuan, and a few large carvings can be worth about 5000 yuan.

"Boss Tong, how long does it take for a master sculptor to complete such a carving?" Fu Qingyang asked, pointing to a small carving on the shelf.

"It is not easy to carve such fine small carvings. It is very difficult to complete without ten and a half months. Just like this Buddha statue, it is very difficult to make the crown, skirt and accessories vivid and elegant, just like the real thing. It is easy to cause damage during the process of carving, grinding and polishing, and if high-quality stone is used, the risk is very high." Tong Guangyuan replied with some worry.

Fu Qingyang finally knew why Tong Guangyuan's factory was not making any money.It takes ten days and a half months for such a small carving, but it can only be sold for more than 1000 yuan. Leaving aside the master's wages and various expenses, it's no wonder he doesn't lose money.

Tong Guangyuan seemed to have seen Fu Qingyang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Actually, this kind of exquisite small carvings lose money, and the ones that can make money are some rough carvings, that is, those in the big warehouse. Speaking of which, these small carvings I don't intend to sell the carvings, they are used to support the facade."

"Although the carving work of these small carvings is very good, the stone material is too poor. After all, it still lacks a bit of delicate and lustrous feeling, so that it is not so dazzling. But in the future, these master craftsmen can use Nantian stone to carve exclusively. , Carving each carving can also take longer, and strive for perfection. In this way, while we sell some ordinary carvings, we can produce a Nantian boutique, which will definitely be sought after.” Fu Qingyang is very confident in Nantian Stone. He believes that as long as it works well, Nantian Stone will be a hit.

"Mr. Fu is right. If you use a stone like Nantian Stone to carve exquisite and vivid carvings, I am afraid that one piece will sell for tens of thousands or even 10,000+. There is no need to worry about time." Tong Guangyuan thought of Nantian Stone with confidence. hundred times.

"Let's go meet those master craftsmen now. I want to know what they think of Nantian Stone." Fu Qingyang felt that he and Tong Guangyuan were laymen after all. Even though they could tell that Nantian Stone was a good stone, they did not have a thorough understanding of it after all. .

"The master carvers should be here at this time, I'll take you there." Tong Guangyuan took Fu Qingyang to the factory building in the backyard.

At this moment, the factory building full of various stone materials was a little busy. Several master craftsmen were carving hard, and some apprentices around were watching carefully.There are also some ordinary masters who are fiddling with some large ornaments. Compared with the things carved by the old masters, these large ornaments are a bit rough and careless.

"Master Feng, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Fu. I want to chat with you." Tong Guangyuan brought Fu Qingyang to an old man who was carving, and introduced him kindly.

"Wait a minute!" Master Feng's attention was all on a small carving in his hand, and he didn't even look at Fu Qingyang.

Seeing that the old man in front of her was so arrogant, Liu Mei was a little upset.In her opinion, Fu Qingyang will soon become the owner of the carving factory, and this old man should stand up respectfully and salute.

"It's okay, we'll do it later." Fu Qingyang saw Liu Mei staring at her and was about to explode, so he waved her hand to stop her.

After about half an hour, Master Feng put down the carving in his hand and walked in front of Fu Qingyang.

"Master Feng, you are very attentive when you are carving." Fu Qingyang smiled. He still admired old man Feng's attitude towards carving.

"Mr. Fu wants to talk to me about something. I still have work to do!" Old man Feng gave Fu Qingyang a very flat look.

"Master Feng, Mr. Fu has come here specifically to ask you for advice, so don't keep a straight face." Seeing old man Feng's bad temper, Tong Guangyuan was really afraid that Fu Qingyang would get angry.If it was the same in the past, but soon Fu Qingyang would be the owner of the carving factory, and it would not be a good thing to offend him at this time.

"I, old man Feng, have this temper. If you don't like it, you can leave." Old man Feng didn't show any face.

Tong Guangyuan couldn't help showing a wry smile, and looked at Fu Qingyang with some embarrassment.Seeing that Fu Qingyang had been acting calm and calm and not angry, he was secretly relieved.This old man Feng is called Feng Yizhou, and he is considered a native of the country.In Huayuan Art Carving Factory, Feng Yizhou's craftsmanship is definitely the best, but his temper is also the worst.However, after getting along for a long time, Tong Guangyuan knew that old man Feng was a person who was cold outside and hot inside. When he was worried about money, he often took the initiative to bring him the money from the family for emergency.

"Master Feng, I have a rock here, I want you to see it." Seeing Old Man Feng blowing his beard and staring, Fu Qingyang looked like an old child, so naturally he would not care about him.Besides, in Fu Qingyang's heart, anyone who has some ability always has a bit of arrogance in his heart, and old man Feng's attitude is not incomprehensible.

"What kind of stone? Why don't you take it out and have a look." Old man Feng couldn't help becoming a bit interested when he heard the word "stone".

"This is it." Liu Mei took out the Nantian Stone from her bag and handed it to Old Man Feng.

"Huh!" Old man Feng didn't care much at first, but when he saw the small piece of Nantian Stone, he couldn't take his eyes away.I saw him turning over and over the rock that was only half the size of a fist, and praised it again and again.

"This stone is a bit like Shoushan Tianhuang, but the quality is worse, but it is still a rare and good product. But I can't see the origin of this stone. I wonder if Mr. Fu can enlighten me?" Feng Yizhou said this time He was quite polite, obviously, he was looking at the face of this stone.

"This kind of stone comes from a mountain in Taoyuan County, called Nanshan, so I call this kind of stone Nantian Stone." Fu Qingyang did not hide the origin of the stone. Anyway, he has contracted Nanshan now and obtained Nanshan's 20-year license For mining rights, even if others know the origin of Nantian Stone, they can't compete with him for business.

"So, there are many such stones on Nanshan Mountain?" Feng Yizhou's eyes sparkled, burning hot, as if he saw a great treasure.

"There are many springs and streams in Nanshan, and Nantian Stone is produced on the riverbed of these waters, or near the water flow, and the quantity is quite large. Of course, the best quality Nantian Stone is mined from the riverbed, and the quantity is relatively small." Fu Qingyang The quarry in Nanshan has also been mined for a long time, and he has some understanding of the conditions of the mined Nantian stone.

"Tong Guangyuan, hurry up and get ready, let's go to Nanshan, Taoyuan County." Feng Yizhou immediately became interested when he heard that there were a lot of Nantian stones, and hurriedly urged Tong Guangyuan.

"Master Feng, I don't think you need to make this trip." Fu Qingyang stopped Feng Yizhou who was in a hurry.

"Why? Could it be that Nanshan belongs to your family, so we can't go there?" Feng Yizhou stared.

"It is not false to say that Nanshan belongs to my family, because I have already contracted it, and within 20 years, I am the only one who has the right to mine." Fu Qingyang looked at Feng Yizhou with some complacency, as if telling him not to dig any more. Nan Tianshi's wishful thinking.
