God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 564

If Xu Jingxing spread the news as usual, people will only say that Xu Jingxing treats people harshly and is easy to tell the truth. If those who have a relationship with him know, it will inevitably cause another disturbance. I'm still a little unreasonable, and I don't even know where to start my defense.

What's more, Zhao Changfa said so, but if he really wants to take it as truth, it can only show that he is too stupid.

What Zhao Changfa said is just saying that. If he really doesn't give a penny, even if Zhao Changfa can learn something, he will inevitably feel resentful in his heart. After all, he is so old and has been busy for so long But I can't even get a penny of wages. If I say that I don't feel dissatisfied, who will believe it?Maybe he learns something with the front foot, and speaks ill of him with the back foot.

Of course, this is just his speculation, because there is no basis for this kind of thing, maybe Zhao Changfa's desire to learn is so strong that he would be happy to learn something even if he pays for it. That kind of situation is also possible.

But he can't gamble with human nature, and the stakes are not high, and even if he wins, there is not much profit to speak of, right?
Therefore, he thought that it is not impossible to keep Zhao Changfa, but the salary must be paid, not too high, just according to the normal deputy standard, four or five thousand a month, which not only gave Zhao Changfa face, but also blocked him. He can command Zhao Changfa calmly even if he is the mouth of the world.

As for whether Zhao Changfa can learn something, and how much he can learn, it depends on Zhao Changfa's understanding, after all, he can't guarantee this.If he didn't charge money, he would let Zhao Changfa gain something technically even if he was just stuffing it. But since he decided to pay Zhao Changfa according to the standard, he can only learn more and learn less.

So, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world. Zhao Changfa would rather learn something without paying a salary; but he would rather pay a part of his salary than pay that kind of guarantee.

But this was just his imagination, he didn't know whether Zhao Changfa would accept this condition.

So after hearing Zhao Changfa's words, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are already a senior who has achieved success and fame. Being an apprentice to me is not only uncomfortable for you, but also uncomfortable for me as a junior." , not to mention that you don’t want to pay a penny of salary, if you want to do that, I dare not use you, if I use you, I will be scolded to death by the people in the circle.”

Zhao Changfa became anxious, "Little Master Xu, I really want to learn something, really, if someone dares to speak out against you, I will help you hate them."

He waved his hands unhurriedly, "Mr. Zhao, you can't say that. I can also hate people, right? The main thing about this matter is that you can't do that. I feel sorry for it. After all, this is not a day or two. One day's workload, but more than half a year or even a year's construction period, even if you really want to not pay a penny, what about your family? They can accept it? Even if you can accept it, your financial situation can allow you to be so willful ?”

Hearing this, Zhao Changfa opened his mouth, a little frustrated, "Well, ah, if there is no income for a year, my family will not be hungry, but they will not be as nourished as before. Now the children and grandchildren count on me for this. It's a handicraft."

Hearing Zhao Changfa's words, he was also a little stunned. Zhao Changfa was in such a miserable situation?Ordinarily it shouldn't be.

In any case, Zhao Changfa's craftsmanship is among the best in the island city area. Even if his income is not as high as those of the so-called famous artists, he should still be at a well-off level. After so many years, he should have accumulated a lot of money. Stuck in a pinch?Could it be that Zhao Changfa's children and grandchildren really do nothing and just count on the old man to work and make money?

If that's the case, Zhao Changfa can be said to be unlucky for his family.

However, according to his guess, it shouldn't be that extreme. The biggest possibility is that Zhao Changfa's income is not high in the first place.

Thinking of this, he tentatively asked, "Old Zhao, what was your income last year?"

Zhao Changfa didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "About 30."

"So little?" He was really surprised when he heard this number, because this number may be considered good for ordinary people, especially in the Daocheng area, where the annual income of 30 can already make the whole family live very well. Comfortable.

However, compared with Zhao Changfa's craftsmanship, this number is really not much.

Don't talk about others, let's just talk about himself. From last summer to the New Year's Eve, his income from wood carving alone was more than 200 million. But starting from scratch, he didn't have the slightest reputation when he started. It can be said that he is a very newcomer. Just like that, he also earned more than 100 million in half a year.

According to this standard, Zhao Changfa, a well-known old craftsman in the island city, should have a high income.

Did Zhao Changfa lie?

Zhao Changfa didn't know what he was thinking, but thought he was a little surprised, so he replied with a wry smile: "Master Xu, we don't make much money as woodcarvers, and now there are so many people doing it, it is shared among everyone. Naturally, there are fewer, not to mention that the low-end market is basically monopolized by machine carving, we can only do the mid-to-high-end market, but the mid-to-high-end market sounds beautiful, but in fact only those at the top can eat it When it comes to meat, it would be nice for someone like me to drink some soup."

This is really powerless to refute.

He thought that Zhao Changfa's inability to make money was due to other reasons, but he didn't expect it to be caused by the general environment, but it was normal when he thought about it. Before the advent of machine carving, Zhao Changfa could even create sculptures for people in the countryside with his skilled carving skills. The home can also be quite comfortable.

But now, whose furniture is not bought directly from the market?How many ordinary people still use old-fashioned solid wood furniture now?Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that coffee tables and stools are the two most commonly used. Whose coffee tables in ordinary people’s homes are not made of glass or marble?How many are solid wood?
The same goes for stools. For a few dollars, you can buy a clinker stool or metal stool that is strong, beautiful, light, and does not take up much space. Who would pay for the wood and ask a carpenter to build that kind of clumsy solid wood stool?
Of course, this is not to say that solid wood furniture is not good. On the contrary, high-end solid wood furniture is better than those modern assembly line products in terms of practicality and ornamental value. What you accept, you get what you pay for, that’s the truth.
