Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!
Chapter 116 Guangzhou 25
After the leaders left, the staff members were given free time to move around.
Xiaomeng is not capable of managing the stall.
Manager Teng specifically told her in front of everyone that she could wander around at her own pace, as this small market had gathered many good things and she could broaden her horizons.
Xiao Meng thought, "This is exactly what I wanted."
I opened the system and checked my daily task completion status. This morning I spent 12 yuan at the bonsai company, 10 yuan on a fish tank, 1 yuan on a golden arowana fry, and 30 yuan on a competition-grade golden arowana. That means I've already spent over 53 yuan today.
There are still 460,000 tasks to be completed.
Next to Xiaomeng's booth was the booth of a certain silk tapestry research institute.
Xiaomeng had long wanted to go and see the trinkets displayed at their stall.
This is the legendary "an inch of kesi is worth an inch of gold," a precious silk fabric that is as famous as Suzhou embroidery.
Xiaomeng first took a liking to a set of silk tapestry fans featuring the Four Gentlemen: plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.
This is a set of four palm-sized silk tapestry palace fans, small decorative pieces.
It's not a normal size; it looks like a small object meant to be played with.
Although it is small in size, it is a genuine kesi (silk tapestry) work.
Therefore, such a small fan set would cost several thousand yuan.
Xiaomeng asked if there were any genuine palace fan works in normal size.
The young girl at the stall said repeatedly, "Yes, but unfortunately our leader didn't allow us to bring them here to set up stalls this time, saying that bringing expensive souvenirs wouldn't be in line with the public's taste."
Xiaomeng said understandingly, "That's right, that's right. Our embroidery museum also only brought some smaller peripheral products, such as small coin purses, small sachets, keychains and the like."
"Yes, that's right. But our company has an online store. You can log on and see if there are any works you like."
If you find a piece you like, you can commission one on-site.
Xiaomeng opened the website and looked around. "Why is it only available for customization? There are no in-stock items?"
The young woman seemed a little embarrassed. "We don't have many in stock; most items need to be made to order."
In the past two years, as the art of kesi (silk tapestry) has gradually become known to the public, many people have come to buy kesi works to appreciate and collect.
The production period for these works is very long, and there aren't that many skilled kesi (silk tapestry) artisans available. Therefore, our artisans' production schedules are basically booked for several months from now.
Even if you place an order right now, and a craftsman happens to accept it, you'll still have to wait about a month to receive this standard-sized fan.
Goodness, this is another extremely time-consuming top-tier luxury item; you really can't wait without a lot of patience.
Xiaomeng was feeling regretful; she wanted to spend money to buy some nice things today, but now she couldn't spend the money.
A young man standing next to the girl suddenly interjected, "Miss, I happen to have a finished kesi (silk tapestry) piece on hand. Would you like to take a look?"
"Little Good Teacher?" The little girl noticed the young man beside her. "Ah, yes, Little Good Teacher happens to have one."
Someone placed an order with him to create a kesi (silk tapestry) scroll, which not only used a lot of expensive materials but also took Teacher Xiaohao a year of his time.
But after Teacher Xiaohao's artwork was completed, the person who commissioned it disappeared. That's incredibly unethical of them.
The young girl who was setting up the stall was quite indignant and stood up for Teacher Xiaohao.
Xiao Meng's eyes lit up. That was perfect! "Teacher Xiao Hao, hurry up and take out your scroll so I can admire it."
If it's really good, I'll take it.
As Teacher Xiaohao bent down to take something out of the box, she said, "I've only been in the research institute for a little over two years, and I'm still learning my skills."
While this work is acceptable, there are still many areas for improvement.
I've used all my savings to buy materials, and I desperately need living expenses. So I need to sell it to recoup some of my costs.
Girl, just give me the cost price.
I spent over 6 yuan on silk threads, gold and silver threads, and peacock feather threads. The production took over a year. You only need to pay 4 yuan for the labor.
