My Life Simulator

Preliminary selection is over.

On the website of Xichuan Provincial Government, the list of shortlisted works was announced.

Lu Li's entry work "Pandaren" suddenly topped the list, ranking first.

This ranking shows that Lu Li's work, in the opinion of the judges, is the best of all the works.

Of course, the ranking of the preliminary review does not represent the final result.

In many selection activities, the first work in the primary selection is not the final winning work.

Because the preliminary review only represents the opinions of the reviewers, the final result still needs to be selected by "Party A" and voted by the public.

However... the first trial is already a very dazzling achievement for a freshman who has just entered the university.

"Warmly congratulations to Lu Li, a freshman from the School of Plastic Arts of our school, who was shortlisted for the creation and design of themed sculptures in the capital of Xichuan, and won the first place in the preliminary review."

Instead of hanging a banner or sending a message of good news, a floating message was posted on the campus network.

A bright red floating message box floated on the homepage of the campus website, surrounded by animated fireworks "bang bang".

"Fuck! Lu Li is designing a provincial-level themed sculpture? Why is he a finalist?"

"The shortlist is not the key, the key is that he won the first place!"

"The first is not the key, the key is that he is only a freshman now."

"Seeing this news, as a senior dog, I lost countless hairs for my graduation design. I feel very hurt! I can only shut down the computer silently."

"As a junior dog, I am trying to learn styling design, and I am very hurt! I can only shut down the computer silently."

"As a sophomore dog, I don't even know what the design is. I feel very hurt! I can only shut down the computer silently."

"As a freshman, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I can only call 666, expressing that I am very hurt, and silently shut down the computer."

"Can I ask, how many seeds are in your computer?"

"Pure as me, I can't understand what's going on upstairs."

"Nonsense. Where did the seeds come from? It's all learning materials."

"Learning materials +1!"

Every topic, it is no surprise that it will be crooked afterward.

After the results of the preliminary trial were announced, Lu Li's phone also kept ringing.

"Xiao Lu, congratulations, your work has been shortlisted."

There was a bit of joy in Mr. Han's voice, "This kind of provincial sculpture design is already a postgraduate subject. If you can be shortlisted, it means that you already have the level of postgraduate. Apply for early graduation next year, and apply for my postgraduate study! "

"Okay! Thank you teacher for cultivating!"

Lu Li quickly thanked him. This opportunity to participate was given by Mr. Han, who did not forget to dig wells when drinking water. This thank you, Lu Li said sincerely.

"It's all your own business."

Han Lao smiled, "In the future, it will be good for you to participate in more design projects like this."

"clear!"

Lu Li nodded again and again. How can we reflect the level in the field of dry art? How can I increase my fame? Winning in such a large-scale creative design is a benchmark.

A famous artist, a master craftsman, and of course there are many classic works.

If Lu Li's design can be selected in the end, then the statue standing on the Xichuan Provincial Capital Square is Lu Li's hot stamped business card!

This is like Fatty Yuwen's "Merry Young Hero", which is a masterpiece.

"Lu Li, congratulations!"

After hanging up Mr. Han's phone, many people called Lu Li to congratulate him.

The leaders of the Department of Plastic Arts of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the counselors in Lu Li's class, classmates, and Lin Xiaowen and others were all calling Lu Li.

Lu Li also showed off a message to Liu Qin, and sent the news announced by the Xichuan provincial government to Liu Qin.

"Your paper has been listed in SCI, and my work has also been shortlisted."

Liu Qin immediately replied with a message: "It's amazing! I admire it!"

After chatting for a while, Lu Li received another call from Xichuan.

"Hello, is this Teacher Lu Li from the Central Academy of Fine Arts?"

The voice on the phone was very polite, "I'm Xiao Wang from the Xichuan Provincial Office."

Lu Li... teacher?

Hearing this, Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "I'm Lu Li, but... I'm not a teacher, I'm a student of the Department of Plastic Arts at the Central Academy of Fine Arts."

"Mr. Lu is welcome!"

Xiao Wang from the Xichuan Provincial Government Office said with a smile, "You are highly accomplished in art, and it is appropriate to call you a teacher."

"You flatter me!"

Lu Li replied with a smile, thinking: Is it time for me to be honorably called "Teacher"?

The art world is better. If it is in the entertainment industry, everyone can be called "teacher" with respect, which makes the title of "teacher" less and less valuable.

"Mr. Lu, I'm calling to inform you."

Xiao Wang's words are still very polite, "The provincial government has decided that the shortlisted works will be reviewed at 9:00 am next Friday at the Xichuan Art Center. When that time comes, please come to the venue and explain your design ideas to the leaders and judges present. Is it convenient for you to come over?"

"no problem!"

Lu Li nodded with a smile.

"Okay! Please take a photo of your ID card and send it to me, and I'll book the flight and hotel for you. When you come, please call me and I will arrange a vehicle to pick you up at the airport."

Okay, so that's an expert treatment, right?

Lu Li smiled, "Okay, sorry to trouble you."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

Xiao Wang gave a polite sigh and hung up the phone.

After Lu Li handed out his ID card to Xiao Wang, he got up and went out to Han's old house.

"Teacher, Xichuan provincial government informed me that I will participate in the re-election next Friday."

Lu Li sat down at Mr. Han's house and said to Mr. Han, "This is the first time I have participated in this kind of re-election. I would like to ask for your advice."

"What's the point of this?"

Mr. Han smiled, "When checking, you need to introduce your design ideas and answer some questions, just like when you introduced the design plan to me last time. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the problem of craftsmanship, you Think about it."

"Technology? I have done the complete process design, frame structure, welding requirements, skin modeling, painting and coloring, all of which are clearly written."

Lu Li didn't pay too much attention to the technical requirements.

"That's not it."

Mr. Han smiled, "The key is the cost. How much does your work cost to make. You have to give the provincial government a quotation."

"Uh?"

Lu Li was taken aback, "Isn't it because I provided the design and the provincial government arranged the construction according to my design?"

"of course not!"

Mr. Han smiled and shook his head, "This is your work. You are responsible for designing and manufacturing. So, you have to give the provincial government an offer."

"I do it myself?"

Lu Li opened his mouth, "It's not impossible to do it, the problem is, I have to learn construction, welding, and architecture again..."

"Who wants you to do this?"

Mr. Han waved his hand, "These specific constructions are all contracted by arts and crafts companies. You are only responsible for supervising and paying close attention to quality issues."

"So it is!"

Only then did Lu Li figure out the rules of sculpture design and manufacture.

After calculating the cost of materials and labor, Lu Li quickly estimated the price: "Eight million is enough for labor and materials."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Mr. Han suddenly laughed, "You don't count your design value? You don't count the profit of the craft company? Triple it! The quotation of 24 million is more appropriate."

"what?"

It was only then that Lu Li discovered that doing art... it really makes money!

Well, a painting and a piece of calligraphy can be sold for hundreds of thousands or millions, and it is normal for a statue to be more than 20 million.

"I know an arts and crafts company, let me tell them, let them come to you and make a project bidding document!"

Elder Han also knew that Lu Li had no such experience, so he directly arranged for an arts and crafts company.

"OK!"

Lu Li also knew that he still needed to learn this aspect, and the craft company introduced by Mr. Han was naturally very convenient.

The next day, a person who claimed to be the business manager of "Huaxia Arts and Crafts (Group) Company" found Lu Li.

A company that starts with Huaxia is still a group, this... This is a huge state-owned enterprise!

Lu Li thought that what Mr. Han was introducing was a small business, but he didn't expect that a state-owned enterprise came directly, and he was the leader of the arts and crafts industry!

"Mr. Lu, hello!"

The business manager named Wu Zhengxiong greeted Lu Li very politely.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

A man about the same age as Lu's father, talking to Lu Li so politely and using his honorific title, Lu Li couldn't bear it.

"You are Han Lao's student. In terms of seniority, you are taller than me!"

Manager Wu smiled and spoke very politely, "Mr. Jiang of our company is also a student of Mr. Han. I am an apprentice brought out by President Jiang. Speaking of which, you are still my uncle!"

Well, Mr. Han is worthy of being the Taishan Beidou in the art world. I have been separated from my elders.

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Lu Li shook his head again and again, "I haven't officially entered yet! I have to wait for me to be admitted to graduate school before I can be considered a student of Mr. Han."

Manager Wu praised Lu Li Yitong again, and then he got down to business.

"Mr. Lu, we have also noticed your work in Xichuan provincial capital."

Manager Wu stretched out a stack of documents and said to Lu Li, "If you authorize our company to make your works, we will prepare a bidding document based on your opinion and participate in the bidding of themed sculpture works by Xichuan Provincial Government. how?"

"no problem."

Since it was a company recommended by Mr. Han, and it was also a leading enterprise in the domestic arts and crafts industry, Lu Li would naturally not refuse to cooperate with them.

"OK!"

Manager Wu opened the document, took out an authorization agreement, and handed it to Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, take a look at this agreement. If there is no problem, please sign it."

"I'll take a look first."

I believe that Mr. Han is one thing. The signing of the contract must be read carefully.

However, Lu Li's scrolling speed was very fast. From Manager Wu's point of view, Lu Li just turned it around.

This authorization document stipulates that once Lu Li's "Pandaren" sculpture has passed the review and final review, the production and construction of the "Pandaren" sculpture will be authorized to Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company.

In this document, the most important one is profit distribution.

According to the agreement in the document, Huaxia Art Company undertakes the construction and manufacturing. Apart from Lu Li's design fee, construction cost and labor, the profits will be shared equally by Lu Li and Huaxia Art Company.

Design fee... five million?

Seeing the design fee agreed on in the document, Lu Li blinked and sighed... It's really profitable to engage in art!

Of course, most people who are engaged in art can only make ends meet. It's not that they don't want to make a lot of money, but... the strength does not allow it!

After closing the folder, Lu Xin secretly calculated that if his "Pandaren" sculpture could be selected, he would get five million for the design fee when he signed the contract.

After the construction is completed and the acceptance is passed, the profits can be shared equally with Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company.

In this way, Lu Li can almost earn tens of millions from this "Pandaren" sculpture!

How terrifying!

Thinking about it this way, every bigwig in the art world is an invisible rich man!

Lu Li is also very clear. He cooperated with Huaxia Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd., and he was able to get such good conditions and so many benefits. It was definitely because of Mr. Han.

If it weren't for Mr. Han, a small college student, who would give a few hundred thousand casually, it would be easy to pass up, and you would still be happy.

"Thank you, this contract is fine."

Lu Li smiled, picked up the pen and signed the license agreement.

"Okay! Teacher Lu, I will prepare the relevant bidding materials immediately."

Manager Wu got up and shook hands with Lu Li, "I wish Mr. Lu's work to pass the review and win!"

"thanks!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded.

Three days later, Manager Wu found Lu Li again with a thick stack of documents.

"Mr. Lu, this is the bidding document we made. There is a complete quotation and construction plan in it. You can take a look first. After the review is passed, our company will conduct bidding negotiations with the Xichuan Provincial Government."

Manager Wu handed the thick stack of documents to Lu Li.

"OK!"

Lu Li took the information and nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, did the Xichuan provincial government book you a ticket for the morning of the day after tomorrow? I'll come and take you to the airport then."

Manager Wu said and got up to leave.

"Then trouble you."

It would be best if someone sent him to the airport, but Lu Li did not refuse.

After Manager Wu left, Lu Li took a look at the bidding documents and was speechless for a long time.

Engineering quotation...40 million!

Lying in a groove!

The cost I calculated was 8 million, and Mr. Han tripled it to 24 million. Now... Huaxia Arts and Crafts Co. has raised prices again!

Sure enough... the value of art is immeasurable!

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, black! It's so dark! Is this killing the Xichuan provincial government as a fat pig?

How expensive is a statue? This money... will people give it out?

When Lu Li arrived in Xichuan and participated in the re-examination, he realized... It turns out that Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company is not black at all!

Others' quotations are more than 50 million!
