The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The visitor was a bit beyond Zhang Nan’s expectation. It was the four Chinese compatriots who met in the Wildlife Management Warehouse. It seems that they should have a good network in Botswana, otherwise this Regent Hotel would not be found. .

Out of the feelings of compatriots in the 1980s, Zhang Nan did not let Boss Guan or Brown deal with those uninvited people—if Zhang Nan didn’t bother to pay attention to them after 20 years, there were too many Chinese people who were mixed in Africa at that time. There are also many pitfalls.

In the new century, Chinese people in Africa will have their own circles. Although there are organizations such as chambers of commerce, the relationship between people in competition is not good.

I haven't mixed in Africa in my previous life, but Zhang Nan has a good friend who has mixed in Africa for more than ten years, and he doesn't know anything about this magical big six.

The meeting was arranged in a reception room on the first floor. Zhang Nan didn't let Brown follow, and the boss and Alyosha were next to him.

As soon as we met, the other party immediately introduced herself first, and her posture was lower.

It was almost as I thought it was for that batch of ivory, but what I didn't expect was that one of them had seen him.

Zhang Nan's ability to recognize and remember people is not good, and it hasn't been seen before.

It's the old "palm-eyed" master.

"Mr. Zhang, our dental carving factory really needs a batch of ivory, and there are not many stocks in the warehouse. Now that the ban is imposed, so many masters may soon change their careers, and some people will be forced to go to the bus company to be a conductor. "

Craftsmen don’t talk falsehoods, besides, this is a foreign country, and people who speak falsehoods don’t kill you at all.

The master is called Member Chen, a name that is easy to remember. I went to Botswana with the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Deputy Director of the Dental Sculpture Factory on this trip. I thought I could get two or three tons of ivory back, but I didn't think that this auction was based on 5 tons.

The negotiations were fruitless, and the Botswana did not want to sell the goods separately.

And time is tight, and even the last person from the embassy can't come forward as a lobbyist-just a secretary, and it's not appropriate to contact the ambassador or counselor.

People’s own business, your embassy temporarily intervenes?

The embassy is a diplomatic institution, not a commercial institution, so it doesn't match up at all!

But these four still participated in the bidding together, because Member Chen recognized Zhang Nan—the time when he swept the Liuli Factory, Member Chen urgently shipped a batch of goods from the Tooth Carving Factory to the Liuli Factory.

With so many people at the time, Zhang Nan could not remember people, and even the bodyguards did not remember this ordinary person who only appeared for a while.

Member Chen remembered this crazy American Chinese who was young and easy to recognize.

But at the time of the auction, Zhang Nan was no longer there. The embassy secretary who was used by Zhang Nan as an interpreter immediately returned to the embassy in advance to listen to Zhang Nan's news through various relationships.

Two hours ago, I finally figured out Zhang Nan's general identity and where he is now.

I contacted the country for a while, and it's gone. Let's bite the bullet.

Zhang Nan listened to this member Zhang, thought about it, and said, "Are you trying to buy a part from me?"

Except for the secretary, the other three agreed: "Yes."

Zhang Nan smiled, "Master Zhang, you first listen to some of my opinions."

"As far as I know, the main task of your dental carving factory is to earn foreign exchange. A dozen or twenty years ago, that would really be able to top half of the steel, but the proportion of foreign exchange earned by companies in Beijing should have been declining these years. .

This trip to the United Nations will ban the ivory trade. China is one of the member states that passed the resolution. If it actively abides by the resolution, the import of ivory will stop.

After decades of hard work, returning to the pre-liberation overnight, this is the reality, not only in your factory, but also in the national dental carving industry.

No one can stop the general trend.

Your factory used four or five tons of raw materials a year at most, but now it should also have one or two tons. In the future, there will be no raw material supply and only rely on inventory.

And starting next year, your export of ivory products will also be restricted, and the brain drain and the loss of skills are inevitable.

Nowadays, the country has more and more channels for earning foreign exchange, and the proportion of foreign exchange earning by the handicraft of dental carving is also getting lower and lower, and even exports are completely prohibited. "

When Zhang Nan said this, the faces of the people on the opposite side were a bit ugly.

It's not that I have an opinion on Zhang Nan: People buy things, and they don't owe you 300 mu of land to the dental carving factory. They just tell the truth.

But people always have hope, hoping that policies and reality can change in the future.

The inventory of the tooth carving factory is really low. If you don't get some ivory this time, you will have to switch to more than half of the technicians in the factory within half a year!

If the export of dental carving products is completely banned, the factory will rely on domestic orders. Even if the country's economy is getting better and better, the dental carving factory will have to stop cooking!

At this time, the deputy factory manager opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhang, is your ivory shipped to the United States?"

Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Yes."

Several people were silent.

"Originally I planned to ship all of them to the United States, but since you are here, I will ship 20 tons back to China."

As soon as Zhang Nan said this, when he saw those who wanted to talk, UU Read www.uukanshu.com reached out and stopped.

"It's not for selling to you. I don't lack that little money, and I don't need to show any face to anyone. The pressure of earning foreign exchange over the years has made it difficult for us to sell everything except the atomic bomb.

I will keep the 2o tons of ivory in my own home, and the carving craftsmanship will be passed down. I can help with this. But let's say the ugly thing is first, I won't buy things, because I like to collect them, and I might give them away. You can help me process the supplied materials, and the processing fee can be paid to you in foreign exchange, but don't count the profits of the extra hands on me.

In less than a year, all China's dental carving industry will collapse, and there will be many dental carving masters. "

Zhang Nan’s words are awkward, but in fact they are still polite: there are many dental carving people who want to change careers. The average salary in the past two years is only 156. Even if the dental carving factory is profitable, the teacher will only add two or three bonuses. Hundred.

If this policy changes, even those masters who can stay in the dental carving factory will definitely have their income drop.

Enterprises cannot support people in vain.

I used to be a large foreign exchange earner, and when I can't even support myself, my income will drop drastically.

Whether it is two or three hundred or one hundred and fifty-six, the members of Chen know that as long as the Mr. Zhang in front of him wants to carve his own ivory, he can immediately gather the best dental carving masters in the country.

Don’t care whether it’s the Beijing dental sculpture, the Su-style dental sculpture, or the Yangcheng dental sculpture. When they can’t survive, it may not be a small price for him to gather enough staff.

The quality of 4o tons of ivory is good, and at least 4ooo roots for 2o tons.

If you don't make daily necessities such as combs and ivory chopsticks, which are just top-notch furnishings, 50 masters will not be able to use them in the previous generation!
