三代木头人的不老歌

木玩世家的繁衍,是精神和工艺的代代相传,正像那座"盖不完的庙""你有能力就当总经理,没能力的话就在边上当当股东算了。"何彬和父亲何尚清的回忆在这句话上重合了。2003年,25岁的何彬接了班,这时距父亲创立和信玩具有限公司已有12年。温州永强机场出来,坐去丽水的中巴,两小时后再转乘出租车,40分钟左右便可驶入云和县城。如果你跟我一样感兴趣于这个"中国木制玩具城"的商业家族,行业领路人何寿祯老先生是绕不过去的传奇。

A Legend of Wooden Toy Family Business

"If you have the ability,then be general manager;if you don’t have the ability,then just stand to the side and be a shareholder,"He Bin and his father He Shangqing remember this sentence exactly the same way.In 2003,twelve years after his father established Hexin Toys,the then 25 year old He Bin took over his father’s position. He Bin once saw a temple in Thailand.Its construction had begun in 1978 and was completely made of wood,however to this date, four generations later,it had still not been completed."What was the goal of the person who began building this temple? He must have known that this temple could never be finished.Why? Because so close to the sea,it is easy for wood to become rotten;as soon as you build one section another section is already falling apart and you have to rebuild it.Did he begin this so that Thailand’s woodworking traditional could continue to be passed down? In the end,spirit and craft have to be passed down from generation to generation.
