Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After leaving Director Zhou's office, Li Feng began compiling a book on portrait painting techniques.

According to what Li Feng knew.

Many of the artists in the factory are not very good at sketching.

Not to mention apprentices.

So Li Feng came up with the idea of ​​grid painting, which involves dividing the porcelain plate into grids with a pencil and then coloring and painting on them.

The purpose of doing this is to avoid distortion.

A crucial point in Western painting is that the shapes must be accurate; if the shapes are not drawn accurately...

That means it lost its real effect.

So this is very important.

Unlike pastel or traditional Chinese painting, Western polychrome painting cannot be abstract or impressionistic.

But what Western lottery tickets want is authenticity.

So Li Feng began writing on the new draft document about how to draw a nine-square grid, as well as the mixing ratios and methods for each color.

There are also Western-style coloring techniques.

Li Feng was very skilled at using these things, as if they were engraved in his mind, so he wrote them very smoothly.

However, there are quite a lot of things to consider, and the acceptance of apprentices or other artists needs to be taken into account. Therefore, Li Feng needs to consider whether they can accept it, and he also needs to give special consideration to the direction of writing this content.

So, in the following period of time, Li Feng began to write about these things.

Around 4:10 p.m., Li Sheng entered Li Feng's office.

After Li Feng saw Li Sheng return from the factory office, he turned to Li Sheng and asked him a question.

"Li Sheng".

"Has Director Zheng returned yet?"

When Li Sheng heard that it was Li Feng who asked him, he quickly replied to Li Feng.

"Director Li, Factory Director Zheng has been back for a while. When I arrived, he was still in his office."

After hearing Li Sheng's answer, Li Feng nodded, then got up, took the personnel allocation plan he had prepared, left the office, and went to Director Zheng's office.

When Li Feng arrived at Director Zheng's office, Director Zheng was explaining the task to Assistant Han.

When Director Zheng saw Li Feng arrive, he gestured for Li Feng to wait a moment.

After Li Feng understood what Factory Director Zheng meant, he stood to one side. About ten minutes later, after Factory Director Zheng finished explaining the work to Assistant Han, he asked Assistant Han to leave.

At this moment, Director Zheng noticed the folder in Li Feng's hand, and then he asked Li Feng a question.

"Is the plan ready?"

Upon hearing what Director Zheng said, Li Feng immediately nodded in response.

"Yes".

"I have already prepared the plan."

"Now I'll show it to you."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he placed the proposal on Director Zheng's desk.

Factory Director Zheng nodded to Li Feng, then took the plan into his hands and began to read it.

At this moment, Director Zheng was looking at it very carefully, after all, the plan included the three-fixed plan for the branch factory, as well as the personnel reform of the old factory.

About forty minutes later, Director Zheng finished reviewing the entire plan prepared by Li Feng.

At this moment, he asked Li Feng with some doubt.

"I've just reviewed the personnel allocation plan for the branch factory and I think there are no problems. However, it seems that only nine more people will be added to the porcelain painting workshop?"

"Is that enough?"

At this time, Director Zheng was thinking about how to solve the problem of insufficient personnel in the new color group once and for all, as well as the problem of whether they could undertake national tasks in the future.

Although increasing staffing levels is a troublesome issue, he still wanted to resolve it. After all, he knew he might be promoted to a ministry position in the future, and if this matter wasn't handled well, it would affect his future work.

Therefore, Director Zheng wanted to resolve these issues during his term of office.

At this moment, Li Feng answered directly to Factory Director Zheng.

"Regarding the staffing of the new lottery team, I propose that we increase it to fifteen people. Originally, our new lottery team had a staff of six people. If we increase it to fifteen people, we will be at full capacity."

"Fifteen people are more than enough for the factory's business related to Xincai."

"Another issue is the responsibility of undertaking national tasks. I believe we should strengthen the training of personnel."

"Although the apprenticeship system can teach apprentices how to use their skills, I believe that regular training is more helpful in improving everyone's skill level."

After listening to Li Feng's words, Director Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded to Li Feng.

"Um!".

"That makes sense. As for the training, what are your plans?"

At this point, Li Feng told Director Zheng about his plan to compile "Techniques of Western Color Portrait Painting".

Li Feng then told Director Zheng.

"I believe that as long as they follow the textbook I compiled, their technical level will definitely improve."

"I have compiled a list of several difficult techniques for painting Western colors. For the national projects I have completed before, I have basically used the above techniques for painting."

"Moreover, during this period, Master Deng also trained the members of the new color group. Hou Yun now has new insights into the new color technique, even though he is now the deputy leader of the light color group."

"But I believe he will be able to take on the tasks assigned by the country in the future."

After listening to Li Feng's explanation, Director Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The issues Li Feng is talking about are all problems that urgently need to be solved, and now that he has heard that Li Feng has a solution, he is very pleased.

He felt relieved and then nodded to Li Feng.

"You and Master Deng can discuss the training issues for the new color group together."

"I want results."

Li Feng understood what Director Zheng meant; as a leader, Director Zheng had already done more than enough.

Director Zheng trusts his subordinates quite a bit, so it's normal for him to delegate authority to them.

Director Zheng also provided ample support to his subordinates.

This also motivates subordinates to work harder.

Li Feng felt that working under such a leader was quite good.

At this moment, Li Feng immediately nodded to Director Zheng.

"it is good!".

"I will handle this matter well."

After hearing Li Feng's answer, Director Zheng was very satisfied. He then pointed to Li Feng's report and said...

"Um!".

"I will get this report from the department..."

"We can start recruiting once the ministry and the organization department approve it."

"You can discuss the requirements for some of these positions with the HR department in advance."

"I only have one requirement: to be able to perform the job duties at the branch factory."

After understanding Director Zheng's request, Li Feng immediately responded to him.

"Yes".

"Regarding personnel matters, I will coordinate with the personnel department." (End of Chapter)
