MTL - The Growth of the Richest Man-Chapter 130 Souvenirs

(In the last week, Laoyun has updated about 60,000 words. The update speed of Laoyun should not disappoint parents, right?

From tomorrow, Lao Yun will go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Until the end of the Spring Festival, Lao Yun can only use his mobile phone to code words, and he can only guarantee at least one update a day. Occasionally, there may be two updates a day. It depends on the situation. .

In fact, if Laoyun does not break out this week, it is no problem to save these chapters and keep two to three changes a day during the Spring Festival. But Lao Yun believes that it is very immoral to keep a lot of manuscripts and let parents wait, so it is almost Guoben who has no manuscripts.

I also hope that you will continue to support! The book has nearly 300,000 words at present. As Lao Yun's first book, he is expected to write about 600,000 words. Now the writing progress is nearly half, and he will not be an eunuch. )

Handicrafts really must not be produced by machines, right? To give a very simple example, hand-made watches are often made by different people because different people use different standards, which eventually leads to insufficient precision and cannot be compared with machine-made watches. But this statement is not absolute. Well-known handmade watches, such as Swiss handmade watches, are not like this.

Seven out of 10 high-end watches in the world today come from Switzerland. Watchmaking was initially almost entirely manual. In the middle of the 19th century, after the appearance of watchmaking machinery, mass production appeared, and the industry really became a modern industrial sector. Despite this, the Swiss watch industry has always maintained a decentralized state in the handicraft period. Except for a few famous brand manufacturers, it has never been highly concentrated, and most of the manufacturers are small and medium-sized. And this kind of fierce competition, in order to survive, the handicraft workshops directly lead to this Swiss handmade watch, which is not only very accurate, but also of high quality and beautiful appearance.

Although Zhang Yong is rich, he once had a whim and wanted to buy a top-quality Swiss handmade watch, but when he was about to buy it, he was told that the output of this kind of watch a year is only a few pieces. It's just that, except for the top princes and nobles who can buy by order, ordinary wealthy people, who book in time, also have to queue for a long time. Now if Zhang Yong wants to join the queue, it is estimated that it will take at least four or five years to buy a piece. Zhang Yong is not really that obsessed with collecting watches, so he gave up this idea - in fact, can you tell the time with a hammer phone?

Now, Zhang Yong has also encountered such a problem: the production of national handicrafts must be hand-made in history, because the domestic machine industry has not developed for many years. However, with the development of the large-scale machine industry, the small handicraft workshops have been greatly impacted, and they can no longer sell their handicraft products of good quality.

In the large-scale industrial production of machines, although the initial investment of the factory is relatively large, when the commodities are mass-produced, the unit price of each commodity is very low; and the cost of early learning in handicraft production is also very low. However, the investment required for hand-made in the later stage is also very high, which leads to the fact that the purely hand-made ethnic handicrafts have no price advantage at all.

Of course, people who really want a good collection of handicrafts will not consider the price too much, because the key to the collection of souvenirs is to be comfortable and in line with their own wishes. Just like the 400 yuan donated by Zhang Yong in Fubo Palace at that time, in the eyes of others, it may be that Zhang Yong was cheated of 400 yuan, but in Zhang Yong's own eyes, he had a good time, the 400 yuan Yuan money is not cheated out, but just a reward for this service, and it can even be said to be a tip.

There is only one point that, in large-scale industrial production of machines, it is often possible to register a well-known trademark, so as to obtain the appreciation of goodwill through this trademark; while small handicraft workshops have no trademark at all. People who really want to collect good handicrafts often It is also impossible to find a suitable small handmade workshop to buy pure handmade goods that you like.

Now, what Zhang Yong has to do is to solve these problems.

First of all, Long Dabang found some old local artists who can make those ethnic handicrafts. But relying on these craftsmen alone, the goods that can be produced are very limited, and it is difficult to achieve a level that competes with the dazzling array of machine products on the market through this limited finished product. Therefore, what Zhang Yong and Long Dabang have to do is to recruit people first, and recruit more people who know how to make ethnic handicrafts, or who are willing to learn how to make ethnic handicrafts even though they don't know how to make them. Only a large number of people can produce a large number of handicrafts through manual labor.

In order to make a living, if you are a handicraft artist and your income is low, maybe going out to work is a better choice, so Zhang Yong needs to pay these artists, even apprentices, before he becomes famous for these handicrafts in the early stage. Expensive wages to keep these future craftsmen. It is not difficult to recruit people. This job has solved many local employment problems, and the salary is not cheap, so not only the support of the local government, but also the local people are also very active and enthusiastic to participate in the registration. . The problem of investing money in the early stage, or ~www.novelbuddy.com~ is a big problem for others, but this problem is not a problem for Zhang Yong.

As for the problem that handicraft products are not famous, Zhang Yong also thought of a way to solve this problem. It just so happened that now he is promoting the one-day tour project of the Southern Great Wall and Miao Village. At that time, those tourists who come to travel can give them some handicraft products made by them for free. The handicraft products made by these apprentices were not at a very high level before the accident, but they are handicraft products after all, so I believe these tourists will like it very much. And those who really like handicraft products will buy some expensive high-end products made by masters - after all, Long Dabang has hired a few masters, and there are some of these high-end products.

The free gift event can attract more people to travel. After this tourism project became popular, after so long of study, I believe that those apprentices have already left. I believe that at this time, their handicraft products will also be well-known, and there may be many people who want to spend money to buy some souvenirs to go home. At this time, these makers who have already started their careers can use them again.

In this way, through excellent tourist souvenirs, tourists are attracted to travel; through the popular tourist market, the sales of tourist souvenirs are in turn promoted. As long as Zhang Yong's plan can be implemented and on the right track, I believe that the money path of this project is very bright. But just like the operation of the engine, it needs to be ignited first. To start this virtuous cycle, it also needs a fire. Zhang Yong's personal reputation, funds, and the IP value of Renren are the fire.

In this way, Zhang Yong's "everyone tourism" project and the "pure handmade souvenir workshop" construction sub-project were finalized.
