The two have known each other for so many years. Ma Dong knows exactly what kind of person Qi Huang is. This person will never lie. Since he said that he can add tricks, there is no problem.
Ma Dong calculated his own assets, and placed a generous order for 20 embroidery machines. Except for a few bosses in Guangzhou, he placed the most orders at this investment promotion meeting.
Embroidery machines are still a new thing these days, especially those imported from foreign countries. There are not many people who buy them with such a large sum of money. Ma Dong is also a courageous person. If he does not do some things, he will not do them. Now that he has done them, he will naturally To be the best.
Besides, he has traveled all over the world for so many years, and he has made quite a few friends. He has also heard about the embroidery machine. He planned to buy it before, but this time it just happened to happen, so he bought it together. Among other things, there is absolutely no problem with the products at the China Merchants Fair.
Ma Dong has connections and friends. Because of Qi Wang's embroidery, he also has contacts with some foreign businessmen. He knows that foreigners have always liked Hua Guo's embroidery. As long as Qi Wang can make the embroidery machine If he comes up with new tricks, he won't worry about sales.
Qi Wang is not worried that Ma Dong will not be able to sell his embroidery after buying these embroidery machines, because even if the production speed of machine embroidery is fast and convenient, and it can be produced on a large scale, machine embroidery is far from being able to replace hand embroidery .
For example, in the Cantonese embroidery he learned, there are more than 100 kinds of basic stitches, not to mention the evolved stitches, and the gold nail embroidery used in the Nine Dragons screens he embroidered has complicated and varied stitches. , in order to increase the three-dimensional effect, it is superimposed with embroidery threads of different shades of color, which cannot be replaced by machine embroidery.
In other words, machine embroidery can only make ordinary embroidery products, which look delicate and exquisite, but there are always some things missing.
The complex high-end products can only be done manually, which cannot be replaced by machines. Another way of saying is that the embroidery produced by manual embroidery has a soul that machine embroidery does not have.
Not to mention in this era, even in a future with more advanced technology, in some specific handicrafts, machine products are far behind man-made.
Qi Wang originally planned to invest in the purchase of an embroidery machine, but was stopped by Ma Dong. Ma Dong boldly stated that as long as Qi Wang can add more embroidery patterns, he will give Qi Wang 10% of the profit. Technology stake.
In fact, Boss Ma also had a simple idea. Qi Wang's embroidery is superb, and his future achievements will definitely be extremely high. A good relationship with him will be beneficial and harmless. Feelings and interests are the most important things that tie Qi Wang to his boat. best way.
Ma Dong didn't mean to hide his thoughts, he used a conspiracy to show his plans openly, how to make a decision depends on Qi Wang himself.
He can choose to accept or refuse, it depends on his own choice.
"Pleasant cooperation."
The time in the capital passed quickly, and half a month passed in a flash. The Nine Dragons screen embroidered by Qi Wang successfully won the gold medal of the National Handicraft Hundred Flowers Award. His work was included together with the works of two other embroidery masters The Beijing Art Museum.
The money given by the organizing committee of the competition this time is not too much—at least it is much less than the previous pictures of Hundreds of Birds and Phoenixes and Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, but the works that can enter the Beijing Art Museum are all carefully selected. The works exhibited here are aimed at more people, which is of great benefit to Qi Wang's reputation.
"Old Qi, don't think that the money given this time is not much, but in fact, for you, the follow-up benefits are not worth the money. You can see that the embroidery masters who can exhibit their works in this museum are all You have been famous for a long time, your work can be placed here, it has proved your strength... "
Ma Dong was afraid that Qi Wang would think too much, so he tried his best to persuade him, so that Qi Wang would not think that he was at a disadvantage. Although the money was not much, there were many invisible benefits.
You must know that it is not so easy for an embroidery master to gain a reputation. His works are placed here, and the owner of the works has written clearly. As long as anyone is interested in his works, they will definitely come to him.
"Old Ma, don't worry, I know it well."
The trophies and certificates of honor have been awarded, and the money has been deposited into his account. The work in the capital has basically been completed.
"Old Qi, the matter here has come to an end, shall we go back?"
Qi Huang shook his head, and restored Qi Baolai's messy Rubik's Cube to its original state with a few strokes.
"Dad is amazing!"
After Qi Baolai praised Qi Wang, he lowered his head and tossed the Rubik's Cube again. Why couldn't he recover the Rubik's Cube as easily as his father
"I just came to the capital with great difficulty. I plan to take Baolai to have a good time. I guess I will wait a week before going back."
"Well, my mother-in-law is watching the business of Zuo Zuo's family, and I'm not in a hurry to go back. I'll just accompany you."
From his cousin's mouth, Ma Dong already knew what happened. He guessed that Qi Wang didn't want to go home and face the mess, so he wanted to stay in the capital. Stay in the capital to accompany him.
Mao Dawei, who had already learned some embroidery skills from Qi Wang, was naturally unwilling to leave Qi Wang - he was also counting on Qi Wang to teach him a little more.
"I'm not going back either, Brother Qi, what do you think of the green leaves I embroidered?"
While talking, Mao Dawei handed the handkerchief to Qi Wang, letting him have a look at his handicraft.
Qi Wang stretched out his hand to take the white handkerchief, and looked down at the finger-length green bamboo leaves on it.
To be honest, Mao Dawei does have some talent, but Qi Wang just taught him the two most basic acupuncture techniques, and after so many days of practice, he has already achieved initial results.
but…
"The stitches are a bit thicker, the green transition is a little stiffer, the stitches of the veins can be finer, and the lines in these places should be tighter..."
Qi Wang pointed out Mao Dawei's shortcomings one by one, and then returned the handkerchief to him, letting him continue to embroider.
In fact, learning embroidery is a very boring thing. You need to practice continuously in the early stage, and embroidery is not just about holding a needle. You have to learn the control of color and layout. This is not something that can be learned overnight.
When Mao Dawei was apprenticed to a teacher, Qi Wang also clearly told Mao Dawei that the process of learning embroidery is very boring, and it is a long-term effort. If you want to become a teacher and make money, it will take at least three to five years. At that time, embroidery The finished works may not be equal to machine embroidery.
"Hand embroidery cannot tolerate a little slack. If you want to achieve results, you can only grind it out stitch by stitch."
Mao Dawei really likes embroidery. He said that these are not problems. He just likes this line of work. He already knew it in his heart long before he started learning.
There are no shortcuts in this world. If you want to become a talent, you have to step by step.
In the following week, Mao Dawei stayed in the hotel and continued to fight with embroidery needles, while Qi Wang took Qi Baolai and visited all the scenic spots in the capital with Ma Dong. Qi Wang bought a lot of things for Qi Baolai, and the price was not high Expensive, but it has the characteristics of the capital, and people can tell where it was bought at a glance.
Qi Baolai had a great time, and was happy every day. Every time he went to a scenic spot, he would chirp and ask many questions, and Qi Wang would explain them to him one by one. Facing this child, he had never A little impatient.
It was rare to stay with Qi Wang for such a long time, Qi Baolai was so happy that he walked around Qi Wang every day, and his father and father called him shortly.
Qi Baolai felt that these days were the happiest time in his life, and Qi Wang, who has always been very busy, accompanied him wholeheartedly, which made Qi Baolai very happy, and he liked this kind of life.
Seeing that Qi Baolai was happy every day, and he didn't seem to have any psychological shadow at all, Qi Wang felt relieved.
When Qi Baolai was left behind by Qin Musi before, although Mao Dawei quickly appeared and took him away, Qi Wang was still afraid that the child would leave some psychological shadow. Looking at him now, he should not be affected by what Qin Musi did. scared.
In fact, thinking about it now, Qi Wang also feels that his arrangements are not thorough enough. After discovering Qin Musi's actions, Qi Wang left behind, but most of those backhands were aimed at Qin Musi. He intends to keep people watching, because he thinks that even if Qin Musi is crazy to the extreme, the subject of her hatred has always been Qi Huang, and she should not do too much to Wang Xinhua and Qi Baolai. He thinks Qin Musi should be Nor will she attack her younger brother who is related to her by blood.
He asked Mao Dawei to follow them, just in case - in case Qin Musi made a verbal attack on Qi Baolai or something, Mao Dawei could protect Qi Baolai.
But after thousands of calculations, Qi Huang didn't calculate that Qin Musi would take Qi Baolai away and throw him in a remote alley, leaving him to fend for himself.
Throw a five-year-old child in that kind of place, even if it doesn't die, it will peel off a layer of skin.
Qi Wang was very glad that he kept Mao Dawei and let him follow Qi Baolai all the time, otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
What Qin Musi did to Qi Baolai completely angered Qi Wang, and Qi Wang, who has always been very good-tempered, was really angry this time.
No matter what the reason is, those who attack children are not worthy of forgiveness. Those who commit crimes against children have completely abandoned their identity as human beings the moment they attack children.
Qi Wang was still thinking about whether Qin Musi targeted him so much because of something that happened in her life before her rebirth, which caused her temperament to change drastically. Children will ruthlessly hurt their loved ones.
Qi Wang originally wanted to find out the reason step by step, and wanted to figure out the reason for Qin Musi's change.
But now Qi Wang felt that his previous thinking had gone into a misunderstanding, and he didn't need to investigate the reason at all. Those who are cruel enough to deal with children are well-deserved scum.
There is nothing wrong with the character of the original owner, but the one with the problem is Qin Musi, who is selfish and cold in his bones.
A scum like her doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
Tomorrow they will leave for home, at this time Qi Wang is taking Qi Baolai to pack their luggage together.
Qi Wang has already packed most of the luggage, the rest is Qi Baolai's own clothes and some toys he bought for Qi Baolai.
Qi Wang specially prepared a suitcase for Qi Baolai, just to let him pack these things.
"The clothes are stacked like this, put them here...the trousers should be put here, and the underwear and socks should be put here..."
Qi Wang was very patient, even if Qi Baolai did not do well, he was not angry, and still taught him over and over again.
Qi Wang has always been very patient with children.
Under Qi Wang's instruction, Qi Baolai quickly folded the clothes and put them in the suitcase.
"Father, is Baolai powerful?"
After putting the last pair of socks into the suitcase, Qi Baolai looked at Qi Huang with bright eyes, waiting for his compliment.
Qi Wang patted his head and said with a smile: "Our Baolai is the best."
After receiving this compliment, Qi Baolai laughed immediately, his chubby little body twisted, and then he started to work again.
This time he sorted out the small toys and souvenirs that Qi Wang bought for him. Although he was young, he was able to hold his temper. He put all the toys neatly into the suitcase, and soon he put them away. Toys and handicrafts are put in.
Qi Wang has been sitting beside him, watching him busy with a smile.
Children's affairs don't need to be taken care of by adults, some small things within their ability can be done by themselves, such as tidying up things, he does very well.
After packing up these things, the father and son lay down on the soft bed after washing.
When it was time to tell bedtime stories every day, Qi Baolai, who was not sleepy, suddenly asked, "Dad, why did my sister throw me away that day? Did Baolai do something wrong, so my sister punished me?" ? Dad said that children who do wrong things will be punished. Am I doing something wrong?"
As he spoke, Qi Baolai's voice became smaller and smaller, and his tender voice was filled with sadness.
He is really sad.
Although his father has been playing with him all this time, he has almost forgotten what happened that day, but when he was packing up those toys and handicrafts just now, he saw a wooden doll with a long index finger, and suddenly remembered that day things.
He remembered that when he was young, his sister also made him a wooden doll of about the same size. Although the doll was very ugly, without arms or legs, and his sister painted the eyes and nose with colored pens, Qi Baolai was still very cute. I like it, but later he lost that wooden doll somehow, and cried for a long, long time.
It was his sister who told him that he would make him a better one in the future, so he stopped crying.
My sister has always been very kind to him. If he didn't do something wrong that day, how could my sister leave him in that kind of place
The more Qi Baolai thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He was so wronged that Jin Doudou kept gushing out of his eyes.
He didn't know what he did wrong, and let his sister who had always been good to him leave him alone. If it wasn't for Uncle Mao's sudden appearance, would my sister never come back to look for him
Sensing that the child's mood was not right, Qi Wang took him into his arms and calmed him down with soft words.
"We Baolai did nothing wrong, it was your sister who did it."
Qi Baolai sniffed, looked up at Qi Huang, his big eyes were full of tears, his nose was red, and he looked very pitiful: "But dad didn't mean that only children who do wrong things Will I be punished? My sister will punish me if I do something wrong... "
Qi Huang patted his head, and said seriously: "There are good people and bad people in this world, and bad people hurt you so they don't care if you did something wrong or not. It's just because he is a bad person, so there is no reason for him to hurt people. Yes, just because a good person is hurt by a bad person, we can’t think that the good person must have done something wrong and the bad person is punishing him, don’t you think so?”
Qi Baolai stared blankly at Qi Fan, he was too young to understand the meaning of Qi Fan's words, he frowned and thought for a while, then he whispered, "Father, you mean that I don't have It's wrong, it's my sister who is wrong, she is a bad person, right?"
Qi Huang nodded: "Yes, you are a child, your sister deliberately left you in that place, she is a bad person, in the future you should avoid her and stay away from her, you understand?"
Hearing his father say that his sister is a bad person, Qi Baolai felt a little uncomfortable. Although his sister left him in the wild, what if it was a misunderstanding? After all, my sister used to be very kind to him...
Qi Baolai spoke out what was in his heart, he really couldn't figure out why this happened.
Qi Huan touched Qi Baolai's head, and said seriously: "People will change. Baolai, you have to remember that if a person treats you badly, hurts you, bullies you, makes you sad, no matter what he was before Look, no matter who he is in other people's mouths, he is a bad person to you."
"And bad people who have done something wrong and seriously hurt you are not eligible to be forgiven."
Qi Wang said many things to Qi Bao, and Qi Baolai also listened to these words, and the fog that had troubled him dissipated in an instant.
"Dad is right. My sister is not good to me. She is a bad sister. I don't want her to be my sister anymore."
Qi Baolai has a temperament that distinguishes between love and hate, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes. Now that he has said so, he will no longer treat Qin Musi as his sister. It is almost impossible for Qin Musi to use her sister's status to hurt Qi Baolai in the future. thing.
After being relieved by Qi Wang, Qi Baolai, who let go of his worries, quickly fell asleep. Looking at his son's rosy cheeks, Qi Wang couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.
A sensible and obedient child is really the best treasure in the world.
Qi Huang got up early the next morning, and after breakfast, he took Qi Baolai and Ma Dong to the station to take the train.
As for the minivan they drove, Mao Dawei returned with the driver. It would be more comfortable to take the train with Qi Baolai, a child.
Both Qi Wang and Boss Ma were not short of money. It took twelve hours to go back by train from the capital, so they simply bought soft sleeper tickets, which made people feel much more comfortable.
Qi Wang was well-prepared, toys, books, picture books, and oil pastels were all prepared, and Qi Baolai was not a noisy child, so the journey was extremely easy.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the train arrived at the station.
"Old Qi, do you want me to go back with you?"
Arriving in the provincial capital, Ma Dong looked at the big and small in front of him, and couldn't help feeling worried.
Although it was beyond his expectation that Qi Wang asked his little cousin to guard Qi Baolai before, but in Ma Dong's heart, his friend is still the simple and honest man who has no intentions and only thinks about embroidery.
His stepdaughter is so vicious, his wife is incomprehensible, Qi Huang is so kind and soft-hearted, and there is a son standing in the middle... What if Qi Huang is bullied
Ma Dong was worried, and felt that Qi Huang's ability should not be able to handle such a matter, in case his heart softened...
Thinking of the disastrous consequences, Ma Dong felt uncomfortable in every possible way. After hesitating again and again, he still couldn't help asking.
If he passed, let's not talk about anything else, just his size is enough to deter.
