Chapter 29 Custom-made Buddha Statues

Xiao Ying said: "Yes, I also heard that you are specializing in shaping Buddha statues, so I came here specially. I don't know how the workmanship is? What is the price!"

"Come on, I'll take you to see the goods first. Let's talk about the price again. Is it okay? The prices of each material are different. We can make you any materials you need. There is no problem with the various Buddha statue shapes. Our designers are professional Buddha statue designs and technical consultants from the Buddhist Academy. There will definitely be no problems."

Director Sun said while bringing Xiao Ying and the others to the factory and introduced him one by one: "The products of our factory include the Three Saints of the West, the Three Treasures of Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Eighteen Arhats, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Thirty-Two Responsive Bodies of Guanyin, Weituo Bodhisattva, Shy Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, etc. I can create all the statues of the gods you mentioned with your name."

Xiao Ying looked at the shape and posture of each Buddha statue, as well as the sculpture, painting and painting skills, and thought it was really professional, so he couldn't help but nod.

Xiao Ying asked Director Sun again, "How do you calculate this price?"

"It depends on what material you use. We have all kinds of shaping materials here, from the simplest clay sculptures, to stone sculptures, wood sculptures, fiberglass, resins, brass, etc., all kinds of materials."

"To be honest, I am an amateur in shaping Buddha statues. What materials do I usually order more?"

"Fiberglass." Director Sun replied without hesitation, "Fiberglass is durable and has a fair price. After the surface is polished, it can be sprayed with gold. Our factory has imported beads and gold for special Buddha statues, which look very beautiful. Of course, if Mr. Xiao wants to be more upscale, he can also paste 24k real gold foil. Once he pastes it, it will be really golden and rays, which makes people respect it."

Is it true gold? Xiao Ying smiled bitterly in his heart. I am afraid that this little money is not enough to even put a finger on it.

But Xiao Ying looked serious on the surface and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Director Sun had been looking at Xiao Ying's expression, and could not figure out what he was thinking, so he asked tentatively: "Master Xiao, how much is the price you are going to create? I will help you with the staff."

Xiao Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever created me a look?"

"Most of the custom-made ones have been shipped away, and only these people have not been taken away. However, I have picture albums in my office, so you can go and take a look."

Xiao Ying had just seen the completed Buddha statues, but there was no golden light that he saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. When he heard that he had a picture album, he nodded: "Okay, then let's go and take a look,"

Several people returned to the office.

Director Sun had a bunch of picture albums on his desk, and he took them over and spread them out, and sent them to Xiao Ying: "These are works of our factory, including renderings and completion drawings. You can compare them. We definitely strictly follow the construction drawings. After making them, it is even more beautiful than this. - Sit down and watch them slowly, and don't worry."

Director Sun carried the album to the coffee table and placed it. After Xiao Ying and Zhuoran sat down on the sofa, he quickly made tea for the two of them. Then he pulled a chair and sat next to Xiao Ying. He kept introducing him every time he turned the page.

Not to mention anything else, Director Sun's enthusiasm moved Xiao Ying very much. If the price is right, he decided to customize it in this store for a long time.

Xiao Ying asked: "Are you responsible for delivering it after you have made it?"

"Of course, there is no problem in the city, including the suburbs. Other places charge additional freight. The freight is gasoline and road and bridge fees, and you won't make a penny for anything else."

"Haha, you are really honest. Where are you installing the Buddha statue?"

"Installation? - Does Mr. Xiao put it at home or in a temple?"

"I want to create and worship it to the temple after I create it, and to accumulate virtue and do good deeds."

"So that's the case. Then you donate the money directly to the temple. Wouldn't it be better to repair the temple for you?"

Xiao Ying reiterated what the factory director said, but instead heard that he was not in a hurry to start a business. It was as he said, running this factory was just to accumulate Buddhist connections. He felt a little more at ease in his heart, at least he would not be wronged.

Xiao Ying shook his head and said, "I want to worship the Buddha statue I want to create to the temple according to my idea, but I don't know how to do it."

"So that's the case, that's simple. I tell you that our factory has business dealings with many large temples in the province and even the whole country. Many donors are custom-made Buddha statues to worship temples. So, which temple you want to worship, tell me the name, I'm responsible for contacting the temple, and then send a car to install it, and record your name in the temple merit book. You can check it at any time. Of course, if you have time, it's best to go together. The temple host is very welcome to the donor who worships the Buddha and will definitely be warmly entertained."

Xiao Ying was delighted, which saved a lot of trouble.

He then looked through the album. When he turned to one of the pages, his eyes fell on a photo of a Buddha statue. This photo was the photo of the Buddha statue in the album of the bald monk. There were many people in the high place, sitting in a cross-legged position, making a seal with one hand and holding a bead with the fingers of the other.

At this moment, a golden light flashed in his mind, and the image in the dream appeared, shining brightly. He immediately felt in his heart that this was the statue of the Bodhisattva that appeared in the dream.

The price marked below is: "The clay sculpture sprayed with gold Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, two meters high, and the unit price is 500 yuan."

Xiao Ying couldn't help but feel happy. The original price of this factory is 100 yuan lower than that of the bald monk's picture album. As long as you buy it in large quantities, you will definitely be less. It seems that his previous caution is correct.

Xiao Ying pointed to the photo and said to Director Sun: "I want to customize such a Buddha statue. Is there any discussion on the price?"

"There is no negotiation on clearly marked prices. I said that all of my here are cost prices and I don't make any money. Just to accumulate good fortune, you can go and inquire about all Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas of the Buddha statue shaping factory. I am definitely the cheapest here. If you can find the same material, you are cheaper than mine, and you will give it to you for free!"

Xiao Ying smiled and said, "I believe what Director Sun said, but I have a large number of customized products, and I have to customize them for a long time."

"Oh, Mr. Xiao, how much do you have to decide?"

"I can't say that, maybe there are several ones a day, maybe one every two or three days. Moreover, the custom-made ones in the future may not be clay sculptures, but may be fiberglass or other materials."

Xiao Ying discovered that when he found the Buddha statue that fits his mind, the Buddha statue in his dream would appear. So the next time he appeared, he might not be pointed at the clay plastic material.

Director Sun was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his fat right hand, put his palms in his chest, his face full of admiration, and said, "Amitabha, Master Xiao is really devout to the Buddha. In the future, he will definitely achieve Anuttara Samyaksambodhi and forever eliminate all sentient beings' distress!"

Xiao Ying also learned to be accustomed to the Hoshi and said, "I would like to ask Director Sun for more help."

Director Sun thought for a while and said, "How many people are the ones in Xiao's family today?"

"Five Lords!"

Four people who were bound to die had been saved before, but yesterday he gave Mrs. Zhao a guide to save her son in the oncology department. In fact, it was to save five people, so he had to create five Buddha statues.

Director Sun's face was even more happy. He usually ordered one at most two, and it was rare to order five at a time. I heard that he would make a reservation often, which was really a big deal.

Although he said that he would only charge costs, it would definitely not work to maintain a factory without making money. He would make some money, but he would just not make bad money. Of course he was happy with such a big business.

Director Sun repeatedly considered it in his mind, and finally his fat big hand slapped his thigh and said, "Let's do this, I'll say the lowest price. Please don't bargain anymore, because there is no room for decline. Otherwise, you will lose money."

Xiao Ying nodded solemnly and said, "I can trust you. You said, I won't bargain."

"Are you the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of this specification?"

"Yes, we will discuss it later."
