When it comes to traditional paper-cutting, we must all be very familiar with it. After careful carving with a pair of scissors and a piece of red paper, beautiful patterns and patterns will appear in a short time. But if I tell you that through the traditional paper-cutting Through improvements, a new paper-cutting method was formed, which enabled the college student who created this new paper-cutting method to earn as much as 300,000 yuan in the first year. Do you believe it? Many people may think this is just a promotional gimmick, but if you read the following report, you may not be able to help but be a little moved.
Apply for an invention patent for paper-cutting
“Tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect that the seemingly complicated paper-cutting could be made in a short time.” In the Entrepreneurship Park of Hangzhou Normal University, the shop opened by Wang Ziyue attracted many girls who love beauty and hands-on work. Several girls picked up the scissors on the spot and started working attentively on the templates provided in the store. In less than 10 minutes, the girl Xiao Liu had completed a paper-cut with a cartoon pattern in her hand.
“Not only is the process much simpler than ordinary paper-cutting, but the magnetic paper-cutting we designed can also be easily adsorbed to iron objects such as refrigerators, security doors, cars, filing cabinets, pencil boxes, etc. Spray a little water or wash The detergent can also be attached to glass or other smooth surfaces." Wang Ziyue called his invention magnetic paper-cutting and applied for a patent for it.
Business opportunities discovered at the Olympic Games
Speaking of how he invented magnetic paper-cutting, Wang Ziyue said that the process was actually a bit of a coincidence. Wang Ziyue’s hometown is Jincheng, Shanxi Province, the hometown of paper-cutting. When she was still in high school, the attentive Wang Ziyue discovered that although traditional paper-cutting looked good, it was inconvenient to stick it up.
“Take the happy word posted when you get married as an example. Sometimes it can happen if you are not careful.Yi broke the words on the sticker. "Wang Ziyue said that it was for this reason that she thought about whether she could design a paper-cut that was more convenient to use.
And the refrigerator door sticker at home made Wang Ziyue even more fanciful: Can paper-cutting also be designed with such a magnetic adsorption function? Soon Wang Ziyue found a special magnetic material to replace traditional paper-cutting. Relying on magnetic adsorption, this kind of paper-cutting can be easily adsorbed and pasted.
During the 2008 Olympic Games, Wang Ziyue also brought magnetic paper-cutting into the Xiangyun House in the Beijing Olympic Park on behalf of the Shanxi delegation to show Chinese paper-cutting art to domestic and foreign tourists. “Foreigners saw that we combine tradition and modernity. I am amazed by the paper-cutting that combines craftsmanship." A Yiwu businessman contacted her at the exhibition, hoping to work together to develop a magnetic paper-cutting project. It was at that exhibition that Wang Ziyue discovered that traditional folk crafts such as paper-cutting could be as accepted by ordinary people as cross-stitch, and even spread to thousands of households.
I want to use the board shop to PK the grid shop
In June last year, Wang Ziyue co-founded the company. In less than a year, the companys turnover has exceeded 300,000 yuan, and there are more than 10 franchise stores in various places. "We are not just selling paper-cuts." Wang Ziyue excitedly introduced her companys unique marketing method to reporters, "We can make paper-cuts of scenery from various places into tourist souvenirs, and design the companys name and logo into the patterns. It can be made into the companys promotional materials." A small paper-cut can be sold for 3 yuan to 2,000 yuan after creative design. It greatly exceeds the original value of the paper cutting.
Wang Ziyue said she hopes more college students can join her entrepreneurial team. "We have specially designed a magnetic paper-cutting board shop in view of the lack of entrepreneurial funds for college students." Wang Ziyue said that this board shop is like a grid shop. They provide 100 boards on the wall of the store, and each board is It can be flipped, and students can put their own DIY paper-cut works on the boards for sale by paying part of the rent, and each board will be provided with a corresponding website to help "tenants" sell it online and offline. "I believe that soon our paper-cutting will become popular and be loved by more and more people." Wang Ziyue is full of confidence in future development.
