My place is on fire

Chapter 206 Self-Taught Boss Luo!

The little clay figurines on the window sill of the meeting room were made by Luo Rongning for the leaders of the scenic spot, big and small, when he was free.

Among them, Yang Mimi, the assistant to the general manager's assistant, was included.

"Old Zhang, look at this..."

When Deng Wenjuan saw Yang Mimi's clay figurine, her small mouth opened so fast that she could stuff her own fist.

"This is... this is the girl who just brought us in!"

When Zhang Hongtu saw the little clay figurine his wife was pointing at, he immediately recognized Yang Mimi who had just brought them in.

"This hairstyle, this clothes, this expression, these eyebrows, these facial features... Absolutely!"

Zhang Hongtu wiped his glasses again, put them close to the little clay figurine, and praised him a lot.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

With just one glance, Zhang Hongtu knew that the skill of the person who made these clay figurines was definitely superior to his.

"Old Zhang, this time... we're afraid we're going to fail."

Although Deng Wenjuan is not as famous as Zhang Hongtu, her skills can be called an expert in making clay figurines.

From the analysis of the works in front of her, she felt the huge gap between herself and her husband and the authors of these works.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not ashamed to be inferior to others. It's a great joy in life to meet a craftsman who surpasses the craftsmanship of our Zhang family!"

Zhang Hongtu didn't show any disappointment on his face, but was very excited.

Before today, Zhang Hongtu was recognized as the "ceiling" in this industry.

Someone overturned the "ceiling" and raised the upper limit of the craft of making clay figurines to another height.

For the development of the entire industry is the most important event!
It is the mission of "clay figurine Zhang Chuanren" of all dynasties to publicize and promote the cause of making clay figurines.

However, after more than 100 years and nearly 200 years of development, the industry of "clay figurines" is still a minority among the minority, and it is difficult to form a scale. There are very few people in China who know this industry.

There is no shortage of talents like Zhang Hongtu in the clay figurine industry, but there are very few geniuses like these clay figurine authors!

An industry can only be known by everyone if there are brilliant geniuses that emerge across the ages.

It's like Wang Mazi who sharpens scissors, Wang Shouyi Shisanxiang who is in the seasoning industry, and Lao Ganma who is in the chili sauce industry.

Mei Lanfang in the opera industry, etc., etc.

If there are people with more advanced skills, the craft of making clay figurines will become popular.

It will also greatly promote and promote the publicity and promotion of this craft.

Although this challenge may fail, for Zhang Hongtu, the gains are more than the losses!
"Every piece of these works is lifelike. This author is definitely a genius who was born to make clay figurines!"

Zhang Hongtu looked carefully at all the works on the window sill, and then he straightened up and sighed.

"Sure enough, the masters are among the folks. We, the husband and wife, boasted about the ceiling of this industry before, which is really a bit arrogant."

Deng Wenjuan suddenly remembered something and said in surprise: "By the way, Lao Zhang, I remember that the person making the clay figurine in the video seems to be a young man?"

"Yes, he is still a very handsome young man." Zhang Hongtu couldn't help but his eyes brightened when he said this.

Superb craftsmanship and handsome looks, these are important elements to "get out of the circle"!

In this era when good looks are justice, as long as you have good looks, even if your skills are almost poor, you can still be popular.

For example, those vases in the entertainment circle, small fresh meat and the like.

He obviously has no acting skills, with a dull expression and dull eyes, but he is good-looking and has traffic.

Zhang Hongtu felt that he failed to bring the clay figurines into flames, and his appearance was largely responsible for it.

If I were one-tenth as handsome as the young man in the video, I might be able to set the clay figurine industry on fire.

As soon as the two finished speaking, the door of the conference room creaked and pushed open from the outside, and Luo Rongning brought Shui Miaomiao into the conference room.

"You are Mr. Luo from the scenic spot? It's a pleasure to meet you! My clay figurine Zhang Chuanren Zhang Hongtu!"

When Zhang Hongtu saw the two people entering the door, he stepped forward excitedly to shake hands with Luo Rongning.

"..." Luo Rongning was confused by Zhang Hongtu's enthusiasm and excitement.

"Hello Mr. Luo! I am Deng Wenjuan, Hongtu's lover. It's an honor to meet you."

Deng Wenjuan also stepped forward, greeting Luo Rongning eagerly.

"Ahem...Hello, hello." Luo Yuning greeted the two with a puzzled expression, "Welcome both of you to visit our Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area."

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiley face with your hands. Although the two are opponents who came to the appointment, they have a gentle attitude and eager words.

It's not easy for Luo Rongning to throw face at the two of them, as if he has no heart.

"This is..." After Deng Wenjuan and Luo Rongning shook hands, they smiled and extended their hand to Shui Miaomiao.

Shui Miaomiao extended her hand generously to Deng Wenjuan: "Hello, Ms. Deng, Shui Miaomiao, the vice president of Heilongshan Scenic Area."

"A good name, a good name, Mr. Shui really lives up to his name, and the water is beautiful."

Deng Wenjuan smiled and shook hands with Shui Miaomiao, and casually praised her.

Zhang Hongtu also praised the two with a thumbs up: "Mr. Luo and Mr. Shui have managed the scenic spot so prosperously and lively at such a young age. They are really young and promising, and they are role models for my generation!"

Luo Rongning: "..."

Shui Miaomiao: "..."

Luo Rongning and Shui Miaomiao looked at each other and asked each other with their eyes.

Luo Rongning: Miaomiao, are you sure these two are the clay figurine Zhang Chuanren who came to the scenic spot to participate in the challenge?

Shui Miaomiao: Before I went to you, these two were still aggressive. I don't know why the attitude of these two people has taken a 180-degree turn!

Luo Rongning: ...

After exchanging some polite greetings, the four sat down separately.

Luo Yuning went straight to the topic and said, "Does Mr. Zhang have any comments or suggestions about the competition schedule?"

Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan's attitudes were warm and polite, Luo Rongning could not feel any hostility towards them, so his attitude towards them also changed and became very polite.

Zhang Hongtu waved his hand and said, "There's no need to compare, I admit defeat, and I will publicly admit defeat on my Weibo and apologize to Mr. Luo and your scenic spot."

"This..." Luo Rongning and Shui Miaomiao looked at each other, feeling that the development of the matter was a bit inexplicable!

It's not even a match, why did you admit defeat?Also take the initiative to ask for a public apology?

Zhang Hongtu continued: "Before, I was arbitrarily assertive and said that your scenic spot was falsely advertised without investigation.

I sincerely apologize to Mr. Luo and your scenic spot, and hope to get the understanding of Mr. Luo and the leaders of the scenic spot.

If the reputation of our scenic spot is damaged, I am willing to make compensation for it. "

After Zhang Hongtu finished speaking, Luo Rongning and Shui Miaomiao were completely dumbfounded.

"This time, this incident really flooded the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family anymore."

Deng Wenjuan said sincerely: "Mr. Luo, Lao Zhang and I sincerely apologize to you here, and hope that you will not pursue our mistakes."

The more Luo Yuning listened, the more confused he became. How could he become a "family" as he talked?

Zhang Hongtu asked expectantly: "Mr. Luo, may I ask, who did you learn to make clay figurines from? Can you recommend it to us?"

"Me..." Luo Yuning said with an embarrassed smile, "To be honest, I studied it by myself when I was free at night."

"Boss Luo is still self-taught!" Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan were shocked again after hearing Luo Rongning's words!
Seeing that Luo Rongning is not very old, he must have been engaged in this industry not long ago.

To be able to learn by oneself in such a short period of time is beyond the category of genius, it is simply demon abuse!
Zhang Hongtu said excitedly: "Mr. Luo, you, is it convenient for you to show me and my wife your skills?"

Deng Wenjuan also said: "If you can have the honor to observe Mr. Luo's craftsmanship on the spot, Lao Zhang and I will make this trip worthwhile."

"Then, let's go!" Luo Rongning reluctantly agreed, turned to look at Shui Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, go to the handicraft department and help me get some plasticine."

"Okay boss, I'll come as soon as I go." Shui Miaomiao agreed, got up and walked towards the door.

After Zhang Hongtu watched Shui Miaomiao leave, he said curiously, "Mr. Luo, the handicraft department you are talking about..."

"That's right, our scenic spot recently established a handicraft department..."

Luo Rongning briefly explained to Zhang Hongtu the original intention of establishing the handicraft department and the progress of the handicraft department.

After Zhang Hongtu listened to Luo Yuning's narration, he looked excited and said: "Boss Luo's action is of far-reaching significance!

It not only solves the problem of human resources in the scenic spot, but also cultivates a large number of talents for our clay figurine industry!Really admirable! "

Luo Yuning said modestly: "It's nothing more than a little effort, making clay figurines is a craft that our Chinese nation has passed down for hundreds of years.

As future generations, we are naturally obliged to carry forward it and not let such a unique skill be lost in our generation. "

"Mr. Luo! Your speech is great! Please accept Hongtu's bow!" Zhang Hongtu was moved by Luo Rongning's words, and bowed with his hand.

Luo Yuning hurriedly supported him: "Mr. Zhang is serious, and Luo is ashamed."

"No! Mr. Luo deserves this worship!" Zhang Hongtu said excitedly, "Compared to Mr. Luo's outstanding contribution to our clay figurine industry.

Hongtu is too far behind, it's really embarrassing!Hongtu will definitely learn more from Mr. Luo in the future! "

"In order to cultivate clay figurine talents, Mr. Luo worked hard and paid back the money. This kind of selfless spirit of dedication to the industry is worth my respect from Hongtu."

As Deng Wenjuan said, she also cupped her hands and bowed to Luo Rongning.

Clay figurine making is an industry that needs to learn slowly and polish carefully.

Moreover, the employment prospects of this industry are extremely worrying.

It is very likely that you have learned how to make clay figurines for several years, but in the end you can't even support your family, and you have to find another way out in the end.

Especially the young people of this generation, either go to the factory to screw screws, or go to deliver couriers and takeaways.

Few people are willing to learn the old-fashioned traditional craft of making clay figurines.

Even a "clay figurine Zhang Chuanren" like Zhang Hongtu has only accepted three or five apprentices over the years.

Moreover, these apprentices did not make a living from this, they all developed it as a hobby.

Luo Rongning has trained dozens of clay figurine professionals at one time, and also provided them with living security and employment opportunities.

Although his main purpose is to solve the problem of overstaffing in the scenic area.

But his outstanding contribution to the clay figurine industry is also obvious.

After all, in the future, these dozens of people will be engaged in the clay figurine industry and will make a living from it.

Practitioners in the clay figurine industry will usher in a huge growth!
This is a great thing for the inheritance of the craft of clay figurines and the social influence of the entire industry.

"You two speak too seriously..." Luo Rongning waved his hands modestly.

At the beginning, he really didn't think so much, let alone make any contribution to the clay figurine industry.

He just wanted to find something to do for the idle people in the scenic spot, so as not to be said that he was supporting idlers!

As soon as Luo Rongning finished speaking, Shui Miaomiao knocked on the door with a few pieces of plasticine.

Deng Wenjuan said politely, "I'm sorry for the vice president of Laoshui, please."

"No trouble, Ms. Deng, you are too polite." Shui Miaomiao and Deng Wenjuan greeted each other, and handed the plasticine to Luo Rongning.

Luo Rongning unpacked the package casually, kneaded the plasticine, and said, "The two of you have come from afar and are our guests at the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area.

I don't have any presents that I can give, so let me make two statues for you as a gift to welcome you. "

"There is Mr. Luo Luo!" Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan nodded, and Luo Rongning's proposal was exactly what they wanted.

After Luo Yuning finished speaking, he glanced up and down at Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan for several times, and only after firmly memorizing their appearance did he start to concentrate on shaping.

The plasticine changed into various shapes in Luo Rongning's hands, Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan became more surprised and startled the more they watched.

"So fast, so clever!"

"You can still pinch your eye sockets like this, why didn't I think of it before!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The shape of the lips is still so pinched!"

"..."

Even though Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan were experts in making clay figurines, they couldn't help being amazed after seeing Luo Rongning's technique, and felt that they had learned a lot.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes...

In three minutes and 41 seconds, the first clay figurine was finished.

Luo Rongning made Zhang Hongtu first, his hairstyle and clothing are relatively simple.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even if I was killed, I wouldn't believe that someone could make such a similar, realistic and lifelike work in such a short period of time!"

"Mr. Luo's grand plan of craftsmanship is willing to be inferior! He dared to challenge Mr. Luo before, which is really beyond the sky!"

Deng Wenjuan and Zhang Hongtu were completely convinced after seeing Luo Rongning's speed and technique with their own eyes.
Luo Rongning was not proud, and continued to pinch the second one, which was the statue of Deng Wenjuan.

Deng Wenjuan's hairstyle is much more delicate than Zhang Hongtu's bald head, and her clothes are also much more complicated, and it takes more than double the time.

It took 10 minutes and 13 seconds for Luo Rongning to make the statue of Deng Wenjuan.

"Mr. Luo! Hongtu is convinced! From now on, you will be the ceiling of our clay figurine industry!"

Seeing the statue of Deng Wenjuan made by Luo Rongning, Zhang Hongtu bowed down again.

The most portrait Zhang Hongtu made in his life is his wife Deng Wenjuan.

There are hundreds of statues he made for Deng Wenjuan, if not a thousand. It can be said that he is extremely proficient.

But compared with the work Luo Rongning had just created, he was still a little behind.
