Chapter 230 Shocking America
A carving factory in Beijing
"Master Zhang, how many pieces did you carve today?" Master Liu, who works in the same carving factory as Master Zhang, looked at Master Zhang with curiosity.
Master Zhang slowly held up two fingers and responded with a smile: "It's exactly two by the time we get off work!"
Master Liu's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Wow, Master Zhang, you made 40 yuan in just one day! That's almost as much as my previous monthly salary."
Master Zhang showed a proud look on his face and said, "Of course, I really hope to have such work every day."
At this time, Director Liu said mysteriously: "You also know that I have some connections in the purchasing department. I just got the news that our carving factory has received an order for 1000 wood carvings. I guess the factory will definitely announce it tomorrow."
Master Zhang said in surprise: "With just the number of us, it will take at least two months!"
As he spoke, Master Zhang calculated in his mind that if he worked without a day off for two months, he could earn 2400 yuan.
Master Zhang thought secretly, of course no one would rest at this time unless it was something important.
Master Liu said again: "That's based on your speed, Master Zhang. Master Zhang, how come your speed is getting faster and faster? Can you share your experience with me?"
Master Zhang waved his hand and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. I just let my apprentices carve out the shape first, and then I'll do the fine work. Although they don't have enough experience, they can still help a lot with some basic carving work."
"That's a good idea, Master Zhang. I'll try it tomorrow! Let's go! Let's go have a drink after get off work! It's my treat!"
"Since you're treating, let's go!"

Jancis has been looking forward to the day when toy stores will be selling carved wooden toys again.
Days passed, and finally this day came. However, to Jessie's surprise, there were no small-sized wooden toys sold in the toy store.
Originally, Jesus happily planned to buy two small toys of different characters, one was the majestic Monkey King, and the other was the domineering Erlang Shen.
However, the absence of the small-sized toys instantly made Jesus' mood plummet, and he fell into deep entanglement.
Jessie wandered around the toy store for a long time, unable to take her eyes off the exquisite wooden carved toys.
He was struggling internally. On the one hand, he felt extremely disappointed that he didn't get the small-sized toy he wanted.
On the other hand, the wooden carving toy of the Monkey King is so exquisite, and the lifelike shape seems to make people feel the Monkey King’s tyranny and indomitable spirit.
Finally, after a fierce ideological struggle, Jesus made up his mind and bought the wooden sculpture toy of the Monkey King.
Jesus was playing with the wooden sculpture of the Monkey King in his hand, looking left and right, feeling very happy.
What Jessie didn't know was that the sales of this wooden sculpture toy hadn't fully taken off yet.
Jiang Weimin will definitely present the various forms and fighting moves of the Monkey King, Erlang Shen, and Nezha in the future.
As a toy designer, Jiang Weimin will certainly fully explore the charm of these mythological characters that are deeply loved by people.
Drain the wallets of those who like the Monkey King and like to collect.
While woodcarving toys are selling best, Chinese metal toys are now available in toy stores around the world.
These metal toys quickly attracted the attention of many consumers with their unique design, exquisite workmanship and high-quality materials.
Together with the wood carving toys, they bring a wonderful toy feast to toy lovers around the world.
There are four metal toys in total, and they are divided into three sizes: large, medium and small.
Among them, the ex-factory prices given by Qingdao Publishing House are: US$50 for small, US$200 for medium, and US$500 for large.
However, when these metal toys were put on store shelves, the selling price increased significantly.
Small metal toys cost $100, medium-sized ones go for as much as $500, and large ones soar to $2000.
If you want to collect a set of metal toys, it will cost you a lot of money. It costs about US dollars to collect a set.
This was undoubtedly a huge expense in the United States in the early 20s. At that time, the average salary in the United States was only 80 yuan a month.
For most families, more than $1 is really an unaffordable expense. Of course, these toys are not for these people to buy.
When Jess saw the latest steel toys, he initially thought the prices were not cheap.
And compared to his favorite wooden toys, these steel toys clearly lacked the vivid sense of movement and subtle expressions.
Therefore, he quickly lost interest in these steel toys and turned around to leave.
However, at this moment, Jesus happened to see the staff taking apart the metal toys and then putting them together skillfully.
What shocked him even more was that all the joints of these metal toys could move flexibly.
This wonderful scene not only shocked Jesus so much that his eyes widened, but also deeply shocked readers across the United States who loved the Monkey King.
They never thought that toys could be done like this and could be designed in such a unique state.
Soon, metal toys set off a wave of hot sales in the United States. This trend was not limited to the toys themselves.
Even the comic strips related to the Monkey King received new orders.
As one of the first people to know the wonders of these metal toys, Jesus' love and desire to collect them were ignited again.
He gritted his teeth and bought four more small-sized metal toys. Fortunately, he bought them early, because these metal toys were quickly sold out.
This batch of metal toys was so popular that it seemed to have triggered a buying spree in an instant.
They had just appeared on the market and were sold out at an astonishing speed. The speed of sales was staggering.
Those exquisite metal toys, with their unique designs and charm,
It quickly disappeared from store shelves, leaving behind regret and expectation for many who were unable to buy it.
Jesus didn't dare tell his family, because he knew very well that if his family knew that he spent so much money to buy a few toys, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
