60s, life in the 1960s(1/2)
The two have known each other for so many years. Ma Dong knew exactly what kind of person Qi Wang was. This person would never lie. Since he said he could add more tricks, there would be no problem.
Ma Dong calculated his assets and placed a generous order for twenty embroidery machines. At this investment meeting, except for a few bosses in Guangzhou, he placed the largest order.
Embroidery machines are still a new thing these days, especially those imported from foreign countries. There are not many people who buy them with such a large sum of money. Ma Dong is also courageous. There are some things that he won't do if he doesn't do them. Now that he has done it, he will naturally do it.
To do your best.
Besides, he had traveled all over the country for so many years and made a lot of friends. He had also heard about the embroidery machine. He had planned to buy it before, but this time he just happened to come across it, so he just bought it too.
If nothing else, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the products at the investment fair.
Ma Dong has connections and friends. Because of Qi Wang's embroidery, he also has contacts with some foreign businessmen. He knows that foreigners have always liked Chinese embroidery. As long as Qi Wang can make the embroidery machine
If he comes up with new tricks, he won't have to worry about sales.
Qi Wang is not worried that after Ma Dong buys these embroidery machines, his embroidery will not be sold, because even though mechanical embroidery production is fast and convenient and can be produced on a large scale, machine embroidery is far from being able to replace manual embroidery.
.
For example, the Cantonese embroidery he learned has more than 100 basic stitches, not to mention the evolved stitches. The gold nail embroidery used in the Kowloon screen he embroidered has complex and changeable stitches.
, in order to increase the three-dimensional effect, embroidery threads of different colors are superimposed, which cannot be replaced by machine embroidery.
In other words, machine embroidery can only produce ordinary embroidery products. Although they look exquisite, they are still missing something.
However, more complex high-end products can only be completed manually and cannot be replaced by machines. To put it another way, the embroidery produced by manual embroidery has a soul that machine embroidery does not have.
Not to mention this era, even in the future where technology is more developed, machine-made products will still be far behind artificial ones in certain handicrafts.
Qi Wang originally planned to invest in buying an embroidery machine, but was stopped by Ma Dong. Ma Dong boldly said that as long as Qi Wang could increase the number of embroidery patterns, he would give Qi Wang 10% of the profit.
Technology investment.
In fact, Boss Ma also thinks simply. Qi Wang is a master of embroidery, and his future achievements will definitely be very high. Building a good relationship with him will be beneficial without any harm. Emotions and interests are the most important things that tie Qi Wang to his boat.
Best way.
Ma Dong didn't mean to hide his thoughts. He used conspiracy and showed his plans openly. It's up to Qi Fan himself how to make the decision.
He can choose to accept it or reject it, it's up to him.
“A pleasure to work with.”
The time in the capital passed quickly. Half a month passed by. The Kowloon screen embroidered by Qi Wang successfully won the gold medal of the National Handicraft Hundred Flowers Award. His work was included in the collection together with the works of two other embroidery masters.
Beijing Art Museum.
The money given by the organizing committee of this competition is not that much - at least it is much less than the previous "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" and "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains". However, the works that can enter the Beijing Art Museum are all carefully selected.
The high-quality works produced and exhibited here are aimed at more people, which is of great benefit to Qi Wang's reputation.
"Old Qi, don't look at the small amount of money given this time, but in fact, for you, the subsequent benefits are not worth the money. You see, all the embroidery masters who can exhibit their works in this museum are
You have been famous for a long time, and the fact that your work can be placed here has proven your strength..."
Ma Dong was afraid that Qi Huan would think too much, so he persuaded him earnestly, so that Qi Huan would not feel that he had suffered a loss. Although the money was not much, there were many hidden benefits.
You must know that it is not easy for an embroidery master to become famous. His works are placed here, and the owner of the works is clearly stated. As long as anyone is interested in his works, they will definitely come to him.
"Don't worry, Old Ma, I know what's going on."
The trophies and certificates of honor have been awarded, and the money has been transferred into his account. The work in the capital has basically been completed.
"Old Qi, things here have come to an end. Shall we go back?"
Qi Huan shook his head and restored Qi Baolai's messy Rubik's Cube to its original state in a few strokes.
"Dad is so awesome!"
After Qi Baolai praised Qi Wang, he lowered his head and started tossing around the Rubik's Cube. Why couldn't he just restore the Rubik's Cube as easily as his father?
"I finally came to the capital with great difficulty. I plan to take Baolai for some fun. I estimate that I will wait a week before going back."
"That's it. My mother-in-law is looking after the business at home, so I'm not in a hurry to go back. I'll stay with you."
From his cousin's mouth, Ma Dong already knew what happened. He estimated that Qi Wang didn't want to go home and face the mess, so he stayed in the capital. It happened that he had nothing to do, so why not
Stay in the capital to accompany him.
Mao Dawei, who had already learned some embroidery skills from Qi Wang, was naturally unwilling to leave Qi Wang - he still hoped that Qi Wang could teach him a little more.
"I won't go back either. Brother Qi, what do you think of the green leaves I embroidered?"
As he spoke, Mao Dawei handed the handkerchief to Qi Wan and asked him to take a look at his craftsmanship.
Qi Wang reached out and took the white handkerchief, lowered his head and looked at the finger-length green bamboo leaves on it.
To be honest, Mao Dawei does have some talent. Qi Wang just taught him the two most basic acupuncture techniques. After practicing for so many days, he has already started to see results.
but……
"The stitches are a little thicker, the green transition is a little stiffer, the stitches on the veins can be finer, and the lines in these places need to be tighter..."
Qi Wang pointed out Mao Dawei's shortcomings one by one, then returned the veil to him and asked him to continue embroidering.
In fact, learning embroidery is a very boring thing. You need to practice continuously in the early stage, and embroidery is not just about holding a needle. You have to learn the control of color and layout. This is not something that can be learned overnight.
When Mao Dawei became an apprentice, Qi Wan also clearly told Mao Dawei that the process of learning embroidery was very boring, and it took many years. If he wanted to make money as a teacher, it would take at least three to five years of hard work. At that time, embroidery was
The resulting work may not be as good as machine embroidery.
"There is no room for slacking off in hand embroidery. If you want to achieve results, you can only grind it out stitch by stitch."
Mao Dawei really likes embroidery. He said that these are not problems. He just likes this line of work. He already knew it before he learned it.
There are no shortcuts in this world. If you want to become successful, you have to take it one step at a time.
The next week, Mao Dawei stayed in the hotel and continued to fight with the embroidery needle, while Qi Wang took Qi Baolai and visited various scenic spots in the capital with Ma Dong. Qi Wang bought a lot of things for Qi Baolai, and the prices were not high.
It's expensive, but it's very characteristic of Beijing. You can tell where it was bought at a glance.
Qi Baolai had a lot of fun and was very happy every day. Every time he went to a scenic spot, he would ask many questions, and Qi Wang would explain to him one by one. Facing this child, he had never
Not at all impatient.
It was rare to spend such a long time with Qi Wang. Qi Baolai was so happy that he walked around Qi Wang every day, calling him daddy and daddy.
Qi Baolai felt that these days were the happiest times in his life. Qi Wang, who was always very busy, accompanied him wholeheartedly, which made Qi Baolai feel very happy. He liked this kind of life.
Seeing that Qi Baolai was happy every day and didn't seem to have any psychological shadow at all, Qi Wang felt relieved.
When Qi Baolai was abandoned by Qin Musi, although Mao Dawei quickly appeared and took him away, Qi Wang was still afraid that the child would leave some psychological shadow. Looking at him now, he should not have been affected by what Qin Musi did.
scared.
In fact, thinking about it now, Qi Huan also feels that his arrangements are not comprehensive enough. After discovering Qin Musi's actions, Qi Huan had some backup plans, but most of those backup plans were aimed at Qin Musi. Qi Bao did not come here at the beginning.
He planned to leave someone to watch because he felt that even if Qin Musi was extremely insane, the person she hated was always Qi Huan, and she would not do anything too extreme to Wang Xinhua and Qi Baolai. He felt that no matter what Qin Musi did, she should
Nor would she attack her biological brother who is related to her by blood.
He asked Mao Dawei to follow them just in case - if Qin Musi verbally attacked Qi Baolai or something, Mao Dawei could protect Qi Baolai.
But against all calculations, Qi Wang never expected that Qin Musi would take Qi Baolai away and throw him in a remote alley, leaving him to fend for himself.
If you leave a five-year-old child in that kind of place, even if he doesn't die, he will still shed a layer of his skin.
Qi Wang was very glad that he kept Mao Dawei and asked him to follow Qi Baolai all the time. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
What Qin Musi did to Qi Bao completely angered Qi Huan. Qi Huan, who had always had a good temper, was really angry this time.
No matter what the reason is, those who attack children are not worthy of forgiveness. Those who commit crimes against children have completely abandoned their identity as human beings the moment they attack children.
Qi Wang was still thinking before, whether Qin Musi targeted him so much because something happened in her life before her rebirth, which caused her temperament to change drastically. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the obedient, sensible and kind-hearted woman.
Children will ruthlessly hurt their relatives.
Qi Wang originally wanted to find out the reason step by step, and wanted to figure out the reason for Qin Musi's change.
But now Qi Wang feels that his previous thoughts have gone into a misunderstanding. There is no need for him to investigate the reason. Anyone who can be cruel to a child is a scumbag.
There is nothing wrong with the character of the original owner, but the one with the problem is Qin Musi. This man is selfish and has a cold heart to his core.
A scumbag like her doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
They will set off to go home tomorrow. At this time, Qi Wan is packing his luggage with Qi Baolai.
Qi Wan had already packed most of his luggage, and what was left was Qi Baolai's own clothes and some toys he bought for Qi Baolai.
Qi Wang specially prepared a suitcase for Qi Baolai just to let him put these things.
"The clothes are folded like this, put them here...the pants should be put here, and the underwear and socks should be put here..."
Qi Wang was very patient. Even if Qi Bao couldn't do it well, he wasn't angry and still taught him over and over again.
Qi Wang has always been very patient with children.
Under Qi Wan's guidance, Qi Baolai quickly folded his clothes and put them into his suitcase.
"Dad, is Bora powerful?"
After putting the last pair of socks into the suitcase, Qi Baolai looked at Qi Wan with bright eyes, waiting for his praise.
Qi Wang touched his head and said with a smile: "Our Baolai is the best."
