She is no longer the best female match for period essays

Chapter 306 The Spring of Eighty Mute Girls (19)

The old man was so angry, he kept pretending that he didn't know anything, and helped his granddaughter-in-law complete the work, but this brat didn't appreciate it, and directly exposed his old background.

As far as the grandson is emotionally bumpy, sooner or later the prospective daughter-in-law will run away!

He turned his head to look at Bei Yunxi, and said pitifully:
"Comrade Xiao Bei, you can see, people are old and useless, and they all start to dislike me for getting in the way."

"I'm not too old to walk, why can't I help and continue to contribute to the organization?"

"Comrade Xiao Bei, you won't go back on what you promised me, will you?"

Gu Xiuqi stared at his grandfather, why did he hate him, why did he become disgusted?
This old man is so unreasonable!
Bei Yunxi lowered her eyes slightly, shook her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips.

Seeing her distant smile, Gu Xiuqi tightly clenched the hand in his pocket, his eyes were flushed with redness.

The old man sighed silently.

He could tell that his grandson, who was invincible in everything, was suffering emotionally now.

The little girl looks good-tempered and patient, but she also has a stubborn temper, but the things she looks for will not change easily.

For example, she removed Gu Xiuqi from her development target!
Today, Bei Yunxi needs to purchase all kinds of materials, Gu Xiuqi is the driver, and the old man wants to ride in the car, so she can only sit behind the man.

However, there was an iron frame on the back seat of the motorcycle, and she held the iron frame tightly with her hands behind her back, wishing she could not leave a distance from Gu Xiuqi's body.

Gu Xiuqi couldn't help showing a wry smile, remembering that when he was playing motorcycles when he was young, the girls all eagerly wanted to sit behind him for a ride.

But he didn't even look at them, how could he let them sit in his car?

Now he has someone he wants to take with him, but he can't wait to sit down.

As if wanting to vent his unhappiness, he started the car and rushed out.

Bei Yunxi held onto her tightly, but the old man staggered and was so angry that he poked him with a cane, and said:
"Stinky boy, ride the bike well. Can't you drive smoothly with the two of you?"

"Everything should be done step by step, what can be accomplished without a little patience?"

Gu Xiuqi looked cold and didn't say a word, but his driving returned to the original stable state.

Bei Yunxi ordered a lot of things, such as various paints, brushes, pencils, erasers, rulers, buckets and other tools for painting on the wall, and asked the clerk to contact the master to deliver them to the door.

They went to the garment factory to see some styles and fabrics of performance costumes, but because she hadn't found an actor yet, she didn't order them, but she had a preliminary understanding in her heart.

After eating, they went to the lighting factory.

This lighting factory is the largest in Kyoto City. It has a wide range of products. It not only produces lamps for households, neon signs for businesses, and lamps for various special occasions, but also craftsmen who are invited to make lanterns.

Hanging up the newspaper sign, Bei Yunxi walked around the lighting factory, lowered her head and began to write. After half an hour, she handed the densely packed two pages to Gu Xiuqi.

Before decorating the Spring Festival atmosphere of the Cultural Palace, she did a simple survey of previous years, including various blackboard newspapers and bulletin boards, simply hanging red lanterns on the trees, and updating the banners.

It's a little bit creative, but it's just that under the change of the lantern style, the blackboard newspaper takes a little more thought, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in form.

Because of this, Beiyunxi has too many places to operate.

Gu Xiuqi took a deep look at her, took the paper and looked down seriously.

He didn't have any doubts about the little girl's ability. Children from ordinary families, even if they are natives of Kyoto, are not simple people who can take the entrance examination for God's University.

He looked solemn, and after reading it once, he smiled slightly in thought, nodded and praised sincerely:

"Comrade Xiaobei, you are worthy of being a talented woman of the Imperial University. You can think of such a way!"

"I think the content on this piece of paper is very practical, so you can try it."

Bei Yunxi pursed her lips, her brows relaxed a lot, her eyes seemed to have fallen into the Milky Way, filled with starlight.

"Then we can recruit lantern sponsors through multiple channels?"

Gu Xiuqi looked at her, "Okay, I'll borrow the office phone later to help you get in touch."

"This is a matter for our entire newspaper office, and I also need to do my part."

"Our newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations will broadcast it at the three times when people's ratings are highest, morning, noon, and evening."

"We have a lot of big factories in Kyoto, so the collection of lanterns for the Cultural Palace is almost a public welfare project, and everyone is sure to be willing to sponsor them."

Bei Yunxi nodded again and again, and continued to write on the paper: "I asked just now, there are not many lighting factories in Kyoto, and the scale is not too big. This is the only one that can accept customized lanterns."

"If those factories are recruited, they will definitely come here to customize lanterns, so I will go talk to the master first."

Gu Xiuqi naturally supported it.

They went to the lantern production workshop. There are a total of twelve factories here, all of which are large and empty. During the off-season, most of them will be closed. Now that the Spring Festival is coming soon, there are many units that come to the lighting factory to customize lanterns.

The big guys worked overtime to catch up with the order, and opened up all twelve factories, and even transferred a lot of employees from other workshops to help.

Bei Yunxi visited here just now, and has a general understanding of the level of lanterns made by the master craftsmen of this era.

Each of the master craftsmen has at least [-] to [-] years of experience in making lanterns. They have solid basic skills, but only those tricks are repeated, and the breakthrough is not enough.

Bei Yunxi also has a certain understanding of the process of making lanterns. Right now, she is sitting aside, holding colored pencils and scribbling on the drawing book she carries with her.

One after another, beautiful, fashionable and exquisite lanterns are on the paper.

The little girl is good-looking, and now she is drawing obediently by the side, which can easily attract the attention of others. Some old masters stepped forward and only glanced at the painting book, and their expressions were a little excited.

Making lanterns also requires inspiration. Nowadays, there are not many places for them to get inspiration, only the stunning natural landscapes and ancient majestic buildings, and these are not particularly easy to implement on lanterns.

Therefore, most of them are the elements of lanterns handed down from their ancestors, and they are assembled again and again.No matter how good something is, I can't bear to chew it over and over again.

They have already reached the point where they are at the end of their rope.

These patterns seem to be quietly opening their doors, the blood that is silent in the bones is stirring a little bit, and this flower has long been vividly expressed in my mind!

"Little comrade, are you drawing a lantern? Do you need us to help you make it?"

Bei Yunxi smiled lightly and nodded and shook her head. Amid the regretful and puzzled expressions of the master craftsmen, she tore off the paper and handed it over, continuing to concentrate on painting.

Gu Xiuqi quickly understood what she meant, smiled and passed cigarettes to the masters, and explained the purpose of coming in a low voice, "Masters, we are from the Kyoto Daily, and we are responsible for the decoration of the Spring Festival atmosphere in Chengxi Cultural Palace recently."

"It is definitely necessary to customize a lot of lanterns, but we only customize a part, and other units will also come to you to customize lanterns for the Cultural Palace."

"So we are willing to provide you with some pattern drawings, and hope that the list of the Cultural Palace will be given priority in production."

At this moment, the workshop director trotted over, and upon learning of the situation, he nodded without thinking, "But little comrade, when other companies come to customize lanterns, can we present these designs for them to choose from?"

"Of course, we will pay the little comrade a generous design fee according to the market price!"

Gu Xiuqi didn't ask Bei Yunxi, but agreed for her.

The little girl wanted to run the project of the Cultural Palace well, and she probably planned to donate the design for free, but even if they didn't give it some benefits, he would fight for her.

They went to the office and discussed the design and the price of making the lanterns.

The production process of lanterns is complicated, but they have formed an assembly line production, so the efficiency is very high, and the output is large. Every year during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, orders continue.

New styles of lanterns require master craftsmen to think about how to implement them, and the details must also be taken into account. In addition, the staff who make the lanterns, from unfamiliarity to familiarity, this series of processes took a lot of time Energy and time, the price must be high.

However, as the company that provided the patterns, the Kyoto Daily News, the workshop director generously waived the cost of the lanterns as a sample and advertising sponsorship.

In fact, it takes a lot of human capital to make a new lantern at the beginning, but after the big guys get started, they can be mass-produced. For them, lanterns with cheap materials can be equivalent to no-cost business.

They not only returned the favor, but also advertised for their own company!

Gu Xiuqi thanked with a smile, and directly ordered a large number of lanterns according to his own psychological price. Not only the Cultural Palace, but also the Kyoto Daily, which is also not small in size, were also decorated together.

As for the design fee, there are two payment methods, one is a one-time buyout, and the other is to enjoy the profit of each order for ten years.

The former is more trouble-free, can save a lot of trouble, and does not need to bear any risks. From the perspective of total profit, it is definitely not as much as the latter.

But for the latter, there will be suspicion of being deceived, and it will also be accompanied by various unimaginable troubles.

Gu Xiuqi asked Bei Yunxi in a low voice, and both of them felt that the former was more suitable.

It doesn't matter if you have less money, at least you don't need to worry about it.

Gu Xiuqi asked the workshop director to estimate the ten-year profit based on the annual orders of various lanterns and the size and quantity of the lanterns.

Ten percent of this data is also very huge and amazing!

Gu Xiuqi said lightly: "The general design fee is [-]% to [-]%. The director is an insider, so he should be more aware that for a good lantern, besides the master's exquisite craftsmanship, innovation is more important, right?"

"The styles designed by our comrade Xiaobei are all novel and unique. Once they are produced, they will not only become popular models, but they are definitely not slow-selling products."

"We will pay ten times the sales volume of ordinary styles and half of the profits."

"You don't need to think that the money is too much. Compared with the second payment method, you are still full."

"After all, our country's economy is developing rapidly, and money is getting less and less spent. In ten years, the profit in one year may catch up with the usual nine years!"

"Furthermore, you are the only one in Kyoto, and you can also authorize other provinces and cities. The annual income from this part alone is higher than the design fee to be paid to Comrade Xiaobei."

The workshop director didn't even have time to bargain, and Gu Xiuqi finished everything.

He smiled helplessly: "Then everyone, wait here for a while, drink some tea, and I will report to the leader."

Bei Yunxi bowed her head and wrote two lines and handed it over: "I can provide your factory with novel design drawings every year."

One year, it completely hit the director's heart.

The lighting industry is also highly competitive. Don't look at their unit as the only one now, and they are the only ones with lantern production workshops.

However, Xia Hua is full of talented people. He has already received news that there will be two colleagues this year, and there will be additional workshops for making lanterns, which will also be supported by master craftsmen with decades of experience in making lanterns.

Anyone who is called a master has his own unique skills and should not be underestimated.

At this time, if their factory wants to remain invincible, it must seek innovation and breakthrough!

The director didn't dare to stop, he trotted all the way to find the factory director, and told him about it.

The factory manager came over in person, Xun Bei Yunxi and Gu Xiuqi talked about the matter.

In the end, the factory decided that if Bei Yunxi designed it, and the blueprint they liked, it would adopt a one-time buyout method.And they asked Bei Yunxi to be the exclusive contributor.

Bei Yunxi thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

She doesn't intend to really enter the lantern design industry, but she just takes it as a part-time job, and she can just contribute to a family, and the salary is generous.

All the manuscripts that Bei Yunxi drew just now were taken away.

She can continue to draw in her spare time, so the factory will send people to the cafeteria of the Kyoto Daily every morning at breakfast time to pick up her manuscripts.

After all, it is the peak season of lanterns recently, and every design drawing is likely to generate a lot of profit.

After the Lantern Festival, she only needs to pay at least five design drawings every month.

After talking about everything, it was already dark when we left the lighting factory, and Bei Yunxi drew a lot of design drawings. There are only ten or twenty kinds of lanterns that need to be hung in the Cultural Palace, and there are also a dozen kinds of large-scale lanterns. .

There is also a big difference in style, there are traditional styles, fashion elements, and they are also thoughtful and ingenious!

Anyway, Bei Yunxi's backpack was full of stuff, full of solid unity.

Gu Xiuqi sent the old man home first, and then slowly rode back to the unit's dormitory.

The two are still silent, but they are less embarrassed and alienated than yesterday.

When Bei Yunxi closed the door, she turned around suddenly, met the man's deep eyes, smiled lightly and opened her mouth to thank her.

When the door was closed, the man leaned on the door frame and laughed softly: "You should understand, what I want is never your thank you!"

After Bei Yunxi washed up, she didn't feel sleepy at all, sweet distress flashed in her eyes.
