Henry nodded and said excitedly: "He told me that he made it all with his own hands. I also followed him and watched him turn a piece of wood into a lifelike figure. This is simply art. He really should go Be a teacher in university.
Hey, tell me a secret, don¡¯t tell anyone else. "
Henry seemed to be quite amazed by the vendor's craftsmanship. They took him to see the making method with his own eyes, and he wasn't worried about what they would do to him. It was also good luck that the vendor seemed to be a nice person, and he eventually became friends with Henry.
"What secret, tell me, we will definitely not tell others." Liu Yiyang made a promise for everyone in a very comprehensive manner.
Henry smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you know, because his handicrafts are worthless to you. But to us, do you know how much they are worth?"
Huang Shaowen was shocked, "You bought and sold? I didn't expect, Henry, that you, a thick-browed and big-eyed man, learned how to speculate, and you were fooled?"
"Speculation? What does this mean? I didn't steal a chicken or a dam. Damn it, how can you say that to me? My wallet was stolen today. I don't like people who do this thing the most. They have all the skills." , are all healthy people, and it is a shame to do such a thing."
Henry¡¯s Chinese knowledge is pretty good and he can use some idioms, but if you don¡¯t understand the idioms you haven¡¯t heard before, you just don¡¯t understand them. The Beijing government officials couldn't speak the word "speculation", nor could the vendors. His colleagues didn't understand it, so they couldn't talk about it.
Henry thought that Huang Shaowen thought that Huang Shaowen's behavior of buying handicrafts here and then returning to China to sell them to others at high prices was like a thief. Henry, who felt that there was nothing wrong with this, believed that Huang Shaowen's comments were slander, slander, and not a true friend. .
You slandered me, everyone saw it, he slandered me, he slandered me.
But it is a pity that no one here seems to think that Huang Shaowen is slandering him. After hearing his angry defense, everyone burst out laughing.
What a fucking thief. You can steal chickens, but try stealing one.
¡°Eh, it¡¯s not impossible. Huang Shaowen remembers watching the news from his hometown in his previous life. It was said that someone stole 500 meters of cement pavement overnight. Five hundred meters long, the cement road is amazing. Huang Shaowen couldn't even imagine how he did it.
Henry was even more angry and shouted eagerly: "Hey! Common! Are you going to go around Brown!"
Huang Shaowen didn't laugh that seriously. It was just the first time he heard someone explain it like this. Seeing Henry being angry, he waved his hands quickly, "Sorry, sorry. I'm not laughing at you, it's just your explanation. No, I didn't understand what you meant. Sorry."
So, while you are working now, you are also running this handicraft business? Did you make a lot of money? "
Back to the topic, everyone stopped laughing at Henry. When Henry saw Huang Shaowen apologizing, he let these guys go.
"Yes, I made some money. But, you know, this is not my interest. I just want to recommend these things to my friends, and they think it requires some cost, so making money is just an unexpected gain. "
In the past, foreigners were not very particular and would cheat and deceive one after another. However, since the two world wars completely established its position in this world, and after thirty or forty years of peaceful and stable development, it has indeed become much more sophisticated than before.
"However, maybe it's just Henry and the people he knows who are so particular. If I remember correctly, in fact, just now Huang Shaowen said that Henry's behavior was opportunistic, which cannot be wrong.
Of course, what Henry did was not serious and cannot be said to be so. But it is true that Xiushui Street gradually became more and more people like Henry.
It¡¯s just that what Henry did was called an unexpected gain. And what they did was intentional.
In the future, as the country becomes more and more open and the production capacity of domestic factories increases significantly, the hat of world factory gradually comes to China's head from Southeast Asia and Japan.
The world¡¯s most complete industrial system and the cheapest labor costs have produced the richest industrial products.
Even the so-called luxury goods in Europe have super imitations here in Xiushui Street. Except that there is no other brand, it is basically the same thing.
Foreigners¡¯ copyright awareness is only forced by strict laws. In fact, later on, foreigners who traveled to China and Beijing still loved the cheap and high-quality knockoffs here.
These people are indeed very pretentious. When I come to Beijing, I just buy and buy, and when I go back I turn around and curse. It's quite typical to behave well when you get a bargain.
But no matter what, this shows that foreigners have a demand for these knock-off goods. As the saying goes, if there is demand, there is a market, and if there is a market, there are businessmen. There is never a shortage of people who find opportunities to make money, and no one says that because they are from a developed country and are already rich, they will despise themselves for having too much money.
So the tourists¡¯ own purchasing behavior slowly turned into the seller¡¯s large-volume import and export trade behavior.
The counterfeit goods from Beijing have gone abroad. On the streets of Xiushui Street, there are many foreign small businessmen looking at their goods. So Xiushui Street became even more famous.
Of course, it will take a few years for all this to become common practice. After all, flower cultivation is not yet the so-called factory of the world at this time. Those who did this were just like Henry. He accidentally let his friends see it when he returned home, and then the friend paid for it, and finally made a small profit.
It¡¯s also quite interesting.
"Brother Wen, it's such a good business." Fu Ping whispered, feeling a little excited.
It seems that this guy has really made a lot of progress, and he is very sensitive to business opportunities. However, Huang Shaowen was not surprised. After all, Fu Ping had been following him for a long time.
"It's not urgent." Huang Shaowen replied to Fu Ping first. Then he looked at Henry and asked: "So what you want to do is promote Chinese handicrafts?"
I became friends with a crafts master. I often buy crafts and recommend them to my friends when I go back. Even if I make money, I say it is just an unexpected gain and that making money is not what I am interested in.
What else could you be interested in? It can only be because of this handicraft.
"You should also have woodcutting in your country. There's nothing to promote it. Besides, you, a foreigner, are helping to grow flowers and promote this thing. What are you trying to do?" Liu Yiyang didn't believe it.
Henry probably understood Liu Yiyang's character, so he didn't care, and said with a smile: "This is different. More importantly, I find that our country, including many people in the West, know too little about you. In fact, this is probably what I want to do, hoping that there will be more people like me who can understand you better.
"However, I don't know what to do. It bothers me that maybe this is impossible. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
