The Pentium Era - South to North

At noon, Zhang Chen went to the stall at East Station Small Commodity Market and Sijiqing Fabric Market to find accessories for spring clothing samples. As soon as he entered the stall, Xiao Zhao told him Fengzhen's request, and Zhang Chen agreed , I'll write it right away.

He looked at the stall opposite and asked Xiao Zhao in a low voice, did she really want to transfer it?

Xiao Zhao nodded. Zhang Chen took out the A4 paper from the drawer, took out the pen, took off the cap of the pen, but did not write, but was thinking about something blankly.

Xiao Zhao urged, write, write quickly.

Zhang Chen put the pen cap back on, put down the pen, stared at Xiao Zhao for a while, and said to Xiao Zhao, maybe we can transfer this stall.

Xiao Zhao was surprised, shall we turn around?

She looked at Zhang Chen with wide eyes.

Zhang Chen said yes, think about it, although what we sell here are not the latest styles, we can no longer sell them. We have so many styles, and there are so many sample clothes coming out every day, not to mention other things. Most of the sample clothes made by these sample workers are not mass-produced and are hung in the showroom. They might as well hang them here.

How much does this stall fee cost per day if divided equally? We just do a few retail sales every day, selling these sample clothes, and we earn back the stall fees and withdraw funds.

Besides, these Sijiqing stalls are only getting more and more expensive. I have never seen them getting cheaper year by year. The market is gradually getting better. After we buy it, we can sell it when we don’t want it anymore. Then It won’t be a loss either.

Xiao Zhao nodded. She thought what Zhang Chen said made sense. This stall was placed here, so it would definitely not lose money.

"And, have you ever thought about it, if we buy this stall, we only need to add one more salesperson. Although there are two stalls, three people can definitely be busy." Zhang Chen said.

That's right, if there are two stalls facing each other, if you bring two salesmen, you can concentrate on which stall is busy and go to that stall. Three people can handle it, but I'm afraid it will be easier than now. In this way, although the business area has increased by one times, in fact, the expenses are increased by the salary of a salesperson, which is very cost-effective.

Xiao Zhao was moved. She looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Okay, let's buy it."

Zhang Chen pointed to the paper on the table and said with a smile: "Then I don't need to write this?"

Xiao Zhao nodded and stood up, preparing to go over and talk to Feng Zhen about the matter. She walked to the stall door and came back, saying to Zhang Chen: "You'd better write it and let others talk about it, otherwise... "

Zhang Chen understood that there is no unified standard pricing for stalls in this market. Each stall has a different price, and it all depends on the wishes of the buyer and seller. Xiao Zhao is worried that if he talks to Fengzhen like this, no matter how high or low it is, it will not be appropriate. It will give people the feeling that they are taking advantage of others.

It is better to let Fengzhen post the transfer notice. After people from outside come to negotiate one by one, the price of this stall will be announced. When the time comes, I will buy it at this price, and others will have nothing to say.

Xiao Zhao thought for a while, and then she said to Zhang Chen: "I think it's still like this. Let Sister Fengzhen negotiate first. I will tell her that anyway, you negotiate a price first, and we will use the highest price plus one more." Ask her to buy it for 10,000 yuan."

Zhang Chen hesitated.

Xiao Zhao pushed him with his arm and asked: "Why, you don't want to? You can't be so stingy, after all, we have been neighbors for almost half a year."

Zhang Chen knew that Xiao Zhao had good intentions. He was not stingy, but he was hesitant. Will this damn good intention be fruitless? And just like the vegetable farmers near the factory, Fengzhen also came to play tricks on them. Obviously the highest price they offered was 120,000, but she told them it was 130,000 or 40,000. It was impossible for them to chase everyone who came to talk to her and ask them what price they offered.

"No, Sister Fengzhen is a little stingy, but she's not a bad person. I believe she won't mess around. Don't worry."

Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen said, Zhang Chen nodded and said okay.

Two days later, Fengzhen came over and told them that she had negotiated and the offer was 110,000. After hearing this, Zhang Chen felt that this was a reasonable price. It seemed that Xiao Zhao was right. On this point, Fengzhen did not hide from them or play tricks.

They bought Fengzhen's stall for 120,000 yuan, so that they had two seven-shaped stalls facing each other, which made them a big player in their market.

Zhang Chen found the boss who had made light boxes for them and asked him to use the same size, material and color to make light boxes as door covers. The two light boxes running horizontally on them also said, "Our source of supply is ourselves."

However, the upright light box over there had "Zhaomei" clothing on it, and the one upright here, Zhang Chen asked the boss to change it to the words "Half an Acre of Field", even though the trademark he applied for was not approved. It's still early, no matter what, Zhang Chen also added a "" in the upper right corner.

In this way, people coming and going will understand at a glance that these two stalls are from the same company, but they have two brand trademarks. When the light boxes of the two stalls light up, this area will be particularly eye-catching, and it can be seen from a distance Seeing this, the old customers who bought their goods suddenly gained more confidence.

The stall was still being renovated, and little girls came over one after another to ask if they wanted to hire a salesperson. Xiao Zhao chose one of their Sichuan fellows named Xiaojuan.

Zhang Chen laughed at her, "Comrade, I can't tell, you are very localistic."

Xiao Zhao giggled, "No way, I just want this Yaomei to know how to eat spicy food. Otherwise, when eating, Xiaoli and I both eat spicy food, and one of us doesn't. It would be boring."

Zhang Chen continued to smile and said, from now on, the three of you can eat hot pot in the stall.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Xiaoli shouted.

Zhang Chen glanced at her and cursed: "You are not from Sichuan. When you first came here, you didn't seem to know how to eat spicy food. Why are you so brave now?"

"The boss lady brought it." Xiao Li pointed at Xiao Zhao and then pointed her finger outward: "There is also her."

Zhang Chen saw He Hongmei walking towards them.

…

The BB machine in Zhang Chen's waist rang, which startled Zhang Chen. Ever since he had a big brother, Zhang Chen's BB machine seemed to have become a decoration. No one detained him, and those who came to him just hit him directly. His eldest brother, Zhang Chen himself, didn't even know how long it had been since his BB machine rang, so when the BB machine suddenly rang, Zhang Chen would be startled.

Zhang Chen looked at it and saw that it was a familiar number. He couldn't remember who it was. He picked up the phone on the table and called back. Hello, I'm Zhang Chen. Who's calling me?

"Zhang Chen, are you still in Hangzhou now?"

The other party spoke out word by word. Each word was spoken very standardly, but when connected together, it was a bit strange. That was because there was no change in tone. Zhang Chen knew who it was as soon as he heard it, and said quickly:

"Hello, Mr. Harada, I'm still in Hangzhou."

It turns out that the person on the phone is Shino Harada of Shochiku Pictures on the fifth floor of the Friendship Hotel.

"Zhang Chen, can you come to my place for a while? I have something to ask you."

Zhang Chen quickly said, OK, I'll come right away. I'm at Sijiqing. Do you know Sijiqing?

"Is it the place with a lot of clothes?"

"Yes, Mr. Harada, I'm right here. I'll go over now and I'll be there in about half an hour."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the office."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen saw the three women looking at him. From his conversation, they heard that the content was a bit weird. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao laughed and said, do you still remember the Japan I told you about? Shino Harada, he came to me and said something was wrong.

"Remember, is it that Doubanjiang?" Xiao Zhao asked.

Zhang Chen laughed, he said yes, he asked me to come over.

"We are still international friends. Master, do you want me to send you there?" He Hongmei asked.

Zhang Chen said no need, there’s not much road, I can just ride there.

Harada Shino was very happy to see Zhang Chen. He got up and poured water for Zhang Chen and asked him, are you still looking for a job?

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "I'm not looking anymore, I have my own company now."

As Zhang Chen spoke, he took out the business card from his pocket and handed it to Harada Shino with both hands. Harada Shino took it with both hands and read out every word on the business card very seriously. He laughed and said, I'm looking for you. It's also about clothing. I didn't expect that you now have a clothing company of your own, so it would be even better for me to find you.

Harada Shino told Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen found out that they were planning to come to Zhejiang next year to make a movie. This movie is actually a combination of the two stories of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai and the Legend of White Snake in China. told a story.

He thought of Zhang Chen, who could do design, and it turned out that he was an art artist for the theater company. He should be familiar with both stories. He wondered if he could help with props and costume design.

"You started your own company, do you still have time now?" Harada Shino asked.

Zhang Chen was very interested when he heard about this matter. He asked when the design draft would be needed and he could squeeze in the time.

"Before the end of April next year, the film will start shooting in June."

"That's okay. There happens to be a Spring Festival holiday in the middle, so I can make it."

Zhang Chen used to work in a theater troupe, and he said he was an art artist, but in fact he did everything related to art. Where could a small theater troupe have any professional costumers? Of course, Zhang Chen also did the costume design job. In addition, he is now a professional Those who design clothing are more confident and think that there is no problem in doing this.

"Very good."

Harada Shino said that he took out a movie script from the drawer and gave it to Zhang Chen. Because the female lead and several other actors in the movie are from China, they had already translated the script into Chinese.

Zhang Chen put the script in his bag, and the two continued chatting. Shino Harada looked at Zhang Chen and said with a smile, you should be fine now, you can tell.

Zhang Chen wondered, is this good? Can you still see it?

"Okay, okay, you are different now than when I saw you before."

Harada Shino said, stretched out his right hand, wiped it in front of his face, and said to Zhang Chen:

"You have a happy expression on your face now."

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Zhang Chen told Shino Harada that he was married and had a child not long ago.

"Boy? Girl?" Harada Shino asked.

Zhang Chen told him it was a boy.

"Then I want to bless you."

Harada Shino said that he thought for a moment, shouted "ha", stood up, walked to the cabinet next to him, took a purple-red cloth bag, put it on the table, opened the cloth bag, and inside was a The exquisite wooden box has two powerful calligraphy characters "Shou Dao" written on it.

Harada Shino opened the lid of the wooden box. Inside the box were two long paper packages. Harada Shino opened the paper wrapped outside. Inside was a knife and a sheath. They were opened separately, not as usual. Yes, the knife is in the sheath.

Harada Shino and Zhang Chen said that the Japanese sword was improved from the Tang sword of the Tang Dynasty in China. Its full name is the plane fragment composite dark light pattern blade. It is one of the three most famous swords in the world. Since ancient times, it has been used as a weapon. Known for its graceful shape and collected as art by collectors around the world, Japanese swords embody the symbolic meaning of the soul of the samurai.

Different from knives in other countries, one of the biggest features of Japanese knives is the artistic sense displayed by the knife body itself in addition to the appearance decoration. In Japan, knife makers are called "knife craftsmen", "knife makers", or "knife makers". Knife forging”.

Harada Shino pointed to the place where the blade was close to the handle, and asked Zhang Chen to look closer. Zhang Chen saw the four characters "Yamaguchi Kappei". Harada Shino told Zhang Chen that this was Japan's late national treasure-level sword forging. This knife was made by Harada Shino when they went to shoot one of his documentaries two years before the master's death.

"What's your son's name?" Harada Shino asked.

"Zhang Xiangbei, the direction is Xiang, the north is north."

Harada Shino wrote the words "Zhang Xiangbei" on a piece of paper and asked Zhang Chen, is this it?

Zhang Chen nodded.

Harada Shino went to the cabinet and took a brush and ink. He turned over the lid of the wooden box with "Shou Dao" written on it and wrote "Guard Zhang Xiangbei, Harada Shino prays" on the inside of the lid. Zhang Chen looked at it with a feeling in his heart. shock.

After Shino Harada finished writing, he closed the wooden box and said to Zhang Chen, I will give this knife to your son and wish him to be as sharp and discern right from wrong as this knife.
