A group of more than a dozen people filed out of the tour bus, first Director Chen from the town¡¯s Religious Affairs Office, then several younger monks, surrounded by a kind-hearted old monk. After getting off the car, the group went straight to a white granite statue of Guanyin.
This Guanyin statue is three meters high. The prototype of the lotus platform is the work of He Chaozong, a master of Dehua porcelain carving in the Ming Dynasty. Hei Zai thought about it based on the photo data he collected, enlarged it, and then carved it by himself. After it was completed, Hei Zai placed it in the most conspicuous place in the factory, only five meters away from the gate, as a sample display. Guanyin's face is kind, smiling, and her eyes are lowered. No matter which angle you look at Guanyin's face, you seem to be able to feel the gaze of her kind eyes. It makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze and their minds are as calm as water. This is one of Hei Zai's most proud works. Several merchants offered high prices to collect it, but Hei Zai politely declined them one by one.
These monks are from a famous temple in Malaysia. They are accompanied by directors of the Southeast Asian Chinese Buddhist Association. Accompanying them are the president and several directors of the Southern Fujian Buddhist Association. A group of people gathered in front of Guanyin Buddha to look at it for a long time, whispering to each other. The old monk asked Hei Zai, who was already accompanying him: "Is the person in charge here here?"
Hei Zai said respectfully: "I am the person in charge of this factory!"
"Can we meet the master who carved this Buddha statue?" the old monk asked again.
"I carved this Guanyin statue myself. If there are any deficiencies, please tell me!" Although Hei Zai was confident in his heart, he was still humble in his mouth.
"Oh¡ª¡ª" The old monk turned around again and looked at Hei Zai with a doubtful look in his eyes.
"Let me introduce, this is Master Puhui from Baiyun Temple in Malaysia! This is Master Chen Daoming. He is a well-known rising star in Liancheng Town. Master Chen's works have won many awards" The town Director Chen from the Religious Affairs Office introduced both parties eloquently.
"Can I use your office to talk?" Master Puhui asked with great interest.
"Please come quickly! Please come quickly!" Hei Zai invited hurriedly.
After entering the large and bright office, a group of people took their seats one by one, and Qiang Zai served the top-quality Tieguanyin tea brewed in white porcelain utensils.
¡°Good tea!¡± The aroma of tea aroused the monks¡¯ admiration. Master Puhui took a sip, nodded, then stood up and looked around Heizai's office. A pair of antique war horses are displayed on both sides of the entrance hall. Various figures, animals, Buddha statues and other works are placed along the wall. Hei Zai carefully added a mahogany stand to each work, making it look particularly delicate. On the left side after entering the hall is a large row of large sofas, a coffee-colored coffee table that is two meters square, and a vase polished with black granite. Five or six white flowers are inserted seemingly randomly. lily.
Master Puhui turned around and said to Hei Zai, "Master Chen, where are your products sold?
"Currently, they are all processed for some temples in Taiwan, and some are ordered by gardening companies in Singapore." Heizai emphasized his tone intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yes! Recently some temples in Taiwan are being repaired and renovated. Is that Guanyin statue also ordered from Taiwan?" Master Puhui continued to ask.
Hei Zai scratched his head and replied: "That Guanyin statue is a sample, not for sale!"
"That's it!" The monk turned to a young monk next to him and said, "Jueming, take out the drawing." After hearing this, Jueming hurriedly took out a drawing from the linen bag he carried with him. Master Puhui took the drawing, put aside the tea cup in front of him, and spread it out on the coffee table.
"Master Chen, this is the drawing of the Baiyun Temple we just built. At present, the main project has been basically completed. What is left is that there are still 40 large stone pillars in the square in front of the temple. Master Chen, come and take a look. If I entrust these 40 large pillars to your factory for processing, will there be any difficulty?" He said to Hei Zai and Yan.
Hei Zai moved over the drawings and looked at them carefully. I saw that the pillars marked on the drawing are 20 meters long and 2 meters in diameter. They are divided into sections and stacked. The height of each section is 1 meter. That is, each pillar is divided into 20 stacked sections. Each pillar must be engraved with Buddhist sutras. Story relief. Hei Zai quickly made a rough estimate in his mind. A total of 800 large rough stones of 2 meters x 1 meters were needed. Each rough stone was 4 cubic meters. 1,600 pieces was a huge number. Hei Zai suppressed the shock in his heart and tried to say in a calm voice: "There is no problem in processing these reliefs. What kind of stone do you want to use for the original stone?"
¡°It¡¯s best to use black granite!¡±
"Using black granite, the mines currently used are mines produced in Shanxi. It is estimated that there is not such a large output of stones of such a large size." Hei Zai was puzzled.
"What do you think?" Master Puhui asked anxiously with a somewhat solemn expression.
&nbsThe phone on the bed rang "Ring! Ring! Ring!" Hei Zai picked up the call and found out it was Wang Fen.
"Brother Ming, my cousin came to our unit to inspect the work in the afternoon. He is coming to my house for dinner in the evening. I would like to invite you to have a meal with me and get to know my cousin by the way."
¡°I may have something to be busy with,,,,,,¡± Hei Zai wondered.
"Are you having any difficulties?" Wang Fen asked.
Hei Zai briefly told Wang Fen what had just happened on the phone. Wang Fen said excitedly: "Then you have to come even more. It's better to come early than to come by chance!" She thought with all her heart. Invite this well-known romantic talent in the town to his home to meet his family.
"I know this is a rare opportunity, but aren't the things I'm doing now really frustrating? You know I get confused when I look at calculations."
"This is not easy to handle. You deserve to turn a blind eye to the 'experts' in front of you!" Wang Fen said in a sweet voice.
"That's right! How could I forget that you are a top student in the Provincial College of Finance and Economics?" Hei Zai couldn't help but be overjoyed, his eyes shining.
"Then are you coming?"
¡°Well, I¡¯ll go directly to your house after get off work in the evening!¡±
"That's it!"
"That's it!" Hei Zai said firmly.
"88!" Wang Fen over there put down the phone in her hand, "yes!" she cheered ecstatically, holding up a V-shaped gesture, causing the surrounding colleagues and customers to look at me in confusion. When she saw that she had become the focus of everyone's attention in an instant, she couldn't help blushing and burying her head in sorting out the accounts.
Hei Zai here is even more delighted. If this contract can be signed successfully, then the funding gap cannot be filled by his own working capital. Without the support of the bank, whether the contract can be successfully performed is a question mark. Thinking of this, Hei Zai breathed a sigh of relief.
??Outside the window, the flowing clouds are flying tiredly, and the ground is covered with fallen flowers and birds are singing.
"My sweetheart, where are you? Why can't I find you anywhere When you leave, I will shed tears of sadness and wait infatuatedly. Don't leave without looking back" Hei Zai played the first chapter A love song that we enjoyed together on a date with Mingzhu. "This girl Mingzhu hasn't called for a few days?" Hei Zai asked in his heart. A few days ago, he hung up the phone several times and came to her work. Mingzhu always said she was busy and hung up the phone in a hurry without saying a few words. Ever since Mingzhu went to Xiamen, every time in the dead of night, Hei Zai would toss and turn because of missing Mingzhu. He always wondered: If he had repeatedly asked Mingzhu to stay, would she have changed her mind and stayed for him? Thinking of this, Hei Zai shook his head: It's not like he hasn't learned this girl's temper before. She's stubborn, right! It has been a few days since I said goodbye to Mingzhu. I will have the opportunity to visit her when I go to Xiamen tomorrow, and I will try to persuade her then.
Thinking of this, Hei Zai reached out to pick up the phone, then slowly put it down after looking at the time.
¡°Brother Ming, let¡¯s eat first!¡± At this moment Qiangzi opened the door and came in.
"Okay, so fast!" Hei Zai stood up and said to Qiang Zai: "Aqiang, please call Lan Daguo later and ask him how the mining there has been recently." Lan Daguo is the owner of the 654# mine. , took over a mine that had been opened by someone else half a year ago, and made connections to buy several hills around the old mine from local villagers. He had just completed the mining procedures, so Hei Zai felt unsure and a little uneasy.
¡°I¡¯ll make a call right now and ask!¡± Qiang Heizai said, putting down the bowl in his hand.
"Don't worry, let's hit it after you finish eating!" Hei Zai picked up the bowl, put the noodles into his mouth with a slurping sound, and said vaguely.
