When Chang Xing returned to his residence, Chang Qing was lying on the sofa and fell asleep. The nanny He Chengyu hired to look after Chang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chang Xing coming back.
"Mr. Chang, Chang Qing insists on waiting for you to come back. I asked him to go to bed first but he refused."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go and rest. Just leave Chang Qing to me." Chang Xing said.
After the nanny left, Chang Xing picked up his son and walked to the room.
Chang Qing opened his eyes and glanced at Chang Xing: "Dad, why did you just come back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Dad has something to do today and will come back late. If dad doesn't come back from now on, you should go to bed first," Chang Xing said.
"No. Mom said, let me watch you carefully. Xiangjiang is a feast for the eyes and you are not allowed to come back very late." Chang Qing said.
"Okay, daddy will come back early from now on." Chang Xing said with a smile.
After the auction, everyone in Xiangjiang knew that He Chengyu's family had hired a very powerful carpenter to make a set of golden nanmu furniture, which could be sold for millions.
This set of furniture was brought to Zheng's Furniture Store the next day as a store treasure and placed in the most eye-catching position of Zheng's Furniture Store. Although it cost a high price, it was not completely useless. With such a set
The samples have indeed attracted countless customers to Zheng's Furniture Store. They have also done a lot of business for Zheng's Furniture Store.
Most families cannot afford to buy furniture that costs millions of dollars, and not every household can afford furniture that costs tens of thousands of dollars. However, most families in Hong Kong can afford furniture that costs several thousand dollars. Although Zheng's Furniture Store focuses on the key points.
As for high-end furniture, Zheng's Furniture Store still has a complete range of mid- to low-end furniture.
After Zheng Kuncheng returned, he was given a good lesson by Zheng Zhi: "It's okay to buy golden nanmu furniture, but it's not to be bought at an unjustly high price. In the future, you have to be cautious in doing things, otherwise you will help others if they are sold.
Others count money. In this regard, you are not as good as Guo Yaowen of the Guo family. That bastard has been full of ideas since he was a child and is as cunning as his father. You are not even aware that people are holding your nose."
Zheng Kuncheng was so ashamed that he lowered his head and said nothing.
"This time you have caused a lot of damage to our family. This year your pocket money will be halved. We have spent so much on this set of furniture, so it must be put to use. We must publicize it vigorously and let everyone in Xiangjiang know that this set of furniture is the most popular one in Xiangjiang."
The expensive golden nanmu furniture is in our Zheng Furniture Store. We want people from all over Hong Kong to visit our store," Zheng Zhigang said.
"Dad, if you do this, won't you make me look embarrassed in front of everyone in Hong Kong?" Zheng Kuncheng said in shame.
"You idiot, don't you know the purpose of doing this? People from all over Xiangjiang have come to our store, don't you know what to do next?" Zheng Zhigang was very disappointed with this son. He is really a tiger father and son.
After Zheng Zhigang's reminder, Zheng Kuncheng finally came to his senses: "We can take over this set of furniture and take advantage of the situation to carry out promotional activities. Grab all the furniture business in Hong Kong."
"Well, you can find a few craftsmen with better skills and let them study this set of furniture carefully. It is best to make similar furniture. In this way, you will still have a certain chance to make money from the big price you spent this time.
Come back." Zheng Zhigang said.
Zheng Kuncheng took a master from Zheng's Furniture Shop to secretly inspect the set of golden nanmu furniture.
"Masters, have you looked carefully? Are you sure you can imitate it?" Zheng Kuncheng asked.
"It's actually not that difficult to imitate the appearance. The most difficult thing is carving. The craftsmanship of this carving is so amazing. If we carve it, we will definitely carve something different. If we don't do carving, it's actually not that difficult.
.”
"Actually, it's not just the carvings. We're not sure we can do many of the craftsmanship on this set of furniture. Many structures cannot be seen unless the set of furniture is taken apart. Also, the paint used is not ordinary paint. It should be a secret recipe.
The configuration is different from the paint we use."
Several carpenters worked together and couldn't figure out how Chang Xing made this set of furniture. The lifelike carvings on the furniture were also beyond their reach.
"You can't do it just by following what others have done?" Zheng Kuncheng said angrily.
"It can't be done. The furniture we make now is completely different from the traditional furniture making. Traditional furniture making does not use nails or glue. The final furniture is perfectly seamless. We can't do it."
"A bunch of trash!" Zheng Kuncheng cursed and walked away.
After Zheng Kuncheng left, the group of carpenters were so angry that they cursed each other.
"You bastards, you actually called us trash. We don't know who is the trash. After spending millions to buy such a set of furniture, we came back and said that we were taken advantage of and didn't know. What a stupid pig."
"That's right, I heard that at the auction, he was fooled around. In the end, he got mad and shouted a high price. He was simply taken advantage of."
"Forget it, forget it, just stop saying a few words. After all, he is Zheng Zhigang's son. If we really fall out with the bastard, Zheng Zhigang will definitely fire us all without even asking what happened."
…
After Zheng Kuncheng ran out of his furniture factory, he suddenly remembered that at the auction, there was a young man about his own age sitting next to He Chengyu. He had always been puzzled about the identity of this young man. Now that he suddenly thought about it, he felt that this person
It is very likely that he is the carpenter hired by He Chengyu from the mainland. Of course, this young man may be just an apprentice. But as long as he finds this person, he will definitely be able to find a carpenter who can make that set of golden nanmu furniture.
But where did the man He Chengyu invited live in Xiangjiang? Zheng Kuncheng suddenly remembered something. The He family used to make furniture. They had their own furniture factory, but later they could no longer operate it, so they gave up the furniture factory.
"That furniture factory should still be there." Zheng Kuncheng was overjoyed. Zheng Kuncheng could think of this and could quickly find He Chengyu's furniture factory by just asking a few people.
Zheng Kuncheng followed the route he had taken and found a dilapidated furniture factory. When he arrived at the door of the furniture factory, he found a big lock on the door.
Zheng Kuncheng walked forward and fiddled with the big lock. The big lock hit the iron door with a loud bang.
"Isn't it here?" Zheng Kuncheng said to himself.
Zheng Kuncheng tried to ask around but couldn't find anyone. People in this area had moved away long ago, and several nearby bungalows had been bought by the He family.
Zheng Kuncheng had no choice but to go back. In fact, Zheng Kuncheng's arrival was unlucky. After the auction, the Zheng family's funds were already in place, and the auction house had temporarily transferred the funds to the He family.
Today, Chang Xing and He Chengyu went to the bank to go through some procedures, open an account, and transfer the money to Chang Xing's account. Therefore, Chang Xing did not come to the furniture factory, which happened to make Zheng Kuncheng lose all his money. I don't know if Zheng Kuncheng was unlucky or not.
Lucky.
He Chengyu is a smart man. After the Zheng family took a picture of the set of furniture, he was a little worried that the Zheng family would have Chang Xing's plans.
"The Zheng family is not very well-behaved. When my family first started a furniture factory, we had dealings with the Zheng family. The collapse of our furniture factory actually had a lot to do with the Zheng family. At that time, the Zheng family's Zheng's Furniture Store was located in a store in Xiangjiang.
The only one. My furniture factory also struggled to survive in the cracks. It bought advanced machinery from abroad and slowly built up a reputation and gradually grew bigger. Finally, Zheng's Furniture Store felt threatened. Zheng's Furniture Store
The price war at the beginning did not work. Because we have advanced machinery, better management, and much higher efficiency than them, the cost is much lower. Although we entered into a price war, we still did not suffer losses. However, Zheng's Furniture Factory lost money to my wife.
The loss was not small. Later, they started to use dirty tricks. It happened that my family also planned to shift its focus. Due to the price war, the profit margin of the furniture store was getting more and more compressed. My family simply gave up on the furniture business and moved to
The furniture factory has also closed down," He Chengyu said.
"Don't worry too much about this. I'm not planning to set up a furniture factory right now and go against the Zheng family directly. If he uses dirty tricks, I still have the power to protect myself," Chang Xing said.
"Brother, don't be careless. Before Zheng Zhigang got rich, he was a gangster. I heard that he used to be a drug addict, but later he cleaned himself up and used the money he earned from drug addiction as capital. His former gangsters
, I still work with him now. If there is anything difficult to settle, let his team do it." He Chengyu said.
"Don't worry. I won't be careless." Chang Xing said.
"I suffered a loss at the hands of Zheng Zhigang back then." He Chengyu patted Chang Xing on the shoulder.
When Zheng Kuncheng returned home, he was stopped by Zheng Zhigang.
"Where have you been today?" Zheng Zhigang asked.
"I want to find the carpenter from the He family." Zheng Kuncheng said.
"What are you going to do?" Zheng Zhigang continued to ask.
"Coercion and inducement." Zheng Kuncheng said.
"What's the result?"
"No one was found. I originally thought he was at the He family's furniture factory, but I missed him."
Zheng Zhigang smiled and said: "You are a little clever, but not smart enough. We sent the money to the auction house, and the auction house should transfer the money to them, right? How could he be at the furniture factory at this time? He must have gone there
It’s the bank!”
"Dad, are you looking for that carpenter too?" Zheng Kuncheng asked in surprise.
Zheng Zhigang nodded: "Can't you see the purpose of He Chengyu inviting such a person from the mainland?"
"The He family wants to start up a furniture factory again? Their furniture factory has been abandoned for so many years, how can it be possible?" Zheng Kuncheng asked in confusion.
"It is definitely difficult to make ordinary furniture. But what if their goal is only the high-end furniture market?" Zheng Zhigang asked.
"Aren't you trying to steal meat from our mouths?" Zheng Kuncheng said.
"So, if you don't take action, that's it. If you take action, you must target their weak point." Zheng Zhigang said.
