"Master Zhang, there is no rush to use this furniture. You can do it slowly. Don't be tired." Huo Zhengxiang said.
Chang Xing nodded: "Being idle is also idle."
After Huo Zhengxiang delivered the wood, he mixed a cup of tea with Chang Xing and left happily. It wasn't that he didn't want to stay here longer, but that he was worried about being disliked by Chang Xing.
Not long after Huo Zhengxiang left, He Chengyu came over.
"Brother Zhengxiang sent all the wood over. I'm really willing to pay for it. This wood is in much better condition than the wood I got last time." He Chengyu said.
Chang Xing nodded: "Brother He, are you here for something?"
"You can't come here if you have nothing to do?" He Chengyu said with a smile, "However, there is something wrong. In such a big furniture factory, it is definitely inconvenient for you to be here alone and use so many equipment. I went to look for it before.
The guys who have worked in the furniture factory have good skills and are willing to come back to help. If Mr. Chang is willing, I will ask them to come over immediately. These people are quite honest and know the basics of these jobs, so they can use them with confidence. It depends on whether Mr. Chang needs it.
Yes. Brother Chang, if you don’t need it, don’t worry. I really just want to relieve Brother Chang of some work. When the furniture factory closed down in the past, I told these employees that if the furniture factory reopens in the future, I will call them.
Come here. They are doing well now. I didn’t expect they would be willing to come back.”
"That's good. I'm really not very skilled in operating these machines. It's really too busy for one person. It would be best to have someone to help." Chang Xing said.
"How many people are needed here?" He Chengyu asked.
"You can call back as many people as you want. But in the future, the furniture factory will only make high-end products. Every piece of furniture will have to go through my hands," Chang Xing said.
"Okay, I'll contact them right now. It's unlikely that they will all come back, but if only half of them come back, it should be fine," He Chengyu said.
The next day, He Chengyu called over a dozen people, all of whom were strong laborers in their thirties and forties. Obviously, He Chengyu had selected and selected old employees from the original furniture factory. They were all very smart young adults. Moreover, Chang Xing
It can be seen from their faces that these people are simple and honest people, and recruiting them will not cause trouble.
"Brother Chang, are you satisfied with the dozen young men?" He Chengyu asked.
Chang Xing nodded: "Very satisfied. Let them follow the work today. Don't do these big jobs for the next few days. Let's get some ordinary materials and I will practice with them. The wood to be processed next is too precious
It would be a pity if it gets damaged."
"Well, it's true that they haven't used the machines here for a long time. Let them practice for a few days, and they will soon be able to find the previous feeling." He Chengyu thought Chang Xing's method would be good. If they get used to it, they can use the Huo family's red sandalwood to practice.
, it is estimated that these people would not dare to touch it.
Chang Xing had already made a plan for the content of the exercise, and immediately arranged a series of tasks for these dozen jobs to practice. Sure enough, as Chang Xing expected, the communication between the hesitant and the two parties was not smooth. Once he got started, these ten tasks
Most of the guys fell short due to operational errors.
Dai Rongchang worked in a furniture factory when he was a teenager and worked for more than ten years. It was not until He's furniture factory closed that he went to work elsewhere. He has not done any carpentry work these days. He is full of gratitude to He Chengyu.
When Dai Rongchang's family encountered difficulties, it was He Chengyu who helped him get through the difficulties, so he was very loyal to the furniture factory. When He Chengyu closed the furniture factory, Dai Rongchang squatted in the furniture factory and cried. He felt like he had no home.
Now He Chengyu asked him to come back, and he quit his job without hesitation.
But after all, I haven’t been engaged in carpentry work for a few years. Some craftsmen, although these are very familiar machines, are no longer comfortable to use. The first piece of rough material that Chang Xing gave him for processing was
His processing was ruined.
"I'm sorry, boss. My hands are a little raw. Don't worry, I will get used to it soon." Dai Rongchang felt as if he had committed a crime. He lowered his head and did not dare to look up at Chang Xing's face.
"It's okay. These woods are originally used for practicing. You may not be familiar with the marks I made, so you must remember them in the past few days. The woods we use in the future are all very precious and precious woods. Damage to one piece will
Not to mention it’s very expensive, but it’s also really heartbreaking,” Chang Xing said.
"Don't worry, boss. A few days are enough for me to adapt to these machines," Dai Rongchang said.
Ding Wei on the side was a little disapproving. Why was a young man so afraid of him? He was also from the mainland. He didn't know what method was used to defraud the factory from Boss He.
Ding Wei made mistakes from time to time and was a little absent-minded in doing things. Chang Xing could tell at a glance that he was not convinced.
Chang Xing naturally would not be polite to him: "Master Ding, right? You just processed five wrong pieces of wood in a row. Do you know how much the loss will be if it is the wood we really want to process? What we will process later is
Rosewood. You are in the carpentry profession, do you know the price of rosewood?" Chang Xing said sternly.
"Of course I know. I admit that I made a mistake in this piece of aniseed, but I can't blame it entirely. We use machines to process and are accustomed to using centimeters as the unit of measurement, but here you only use feet and inches. I didn't get used to it all of a sudden.
Come here, something went wrong." Ding Wei said.
Chang Xing glanced at Ding Wei: "From now on, our furniture factory will use feet and inches as units. You must adapt to it in the past few days. If you can't adapt, then I'm sorry and I can only ask you to leave. As for why we use rulers,
The reason we use inches as the unit of length is because we are all making ancient furniture styles. Ancient furniture has a lot of particularities, and it would be very inconvenient to use work points as the unit. Have you ever seen the golden nanmu furniture from Zheng's Furniture Shop?
No?"
Everyone nodded.
"I made that set of furniture. From now on, our furniture factory will only make furniture of that grade. If you are interested, you can learn something from me every day. If you don't want to learn, just do your own thing well."
Chang Xing said.
Everyone had expressions of disbelief. There were not many people in Xiangjiang who didn’t know about that set of furniture, and there were very few who hadn’t seen it. Except for a few people in the upper class circles, few knew what that set of furniture was.
The new ones are still antiques, and few people know that the furniture was made by Chang Xing.
Before coming, He Chengyu did not disclose this matter to them. So when Chang Xing talked about this matter, everyone was shocked. It was a set of antique furniture that sold for millions of dollars. Before, they all
I thought it was a royal antique that He Chengyu brought from the mainland. Unexpectedly, the golden nanmu furniture turned out to be a modern work, and the person who made it was right in front of me!
"Boss, are you telling the truth?" Dai Rongchang said excitedly.
Chang Xing nodded: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Brother He."
"Boss, can we really learn furniture making from you?" Wang Feng, who was carefully operating the machine beside Dai Rongchang, asked.
Chang Xing nodded: "As long as you can learn it, I will not hide anything from you about all the processing processes."
"Then if we learn how to do it in the future, will you let us go?" Wang Feng asked.
"If you want to leave, you can leave at any time. I will never stop you." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"Really?" Ding Wei asked.
"Can you please stop being so realistic? The boss is willing to teach us and has already treated us well. If we just leave after we learn, are we still human?" Dai Rongchang said.
often
, I will let you go immediately."
Ding Wei lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. He wanted to learn Chang Xing's skills. If he could make such good furniture, he would not have to worry about food and drink in his life as long as he made one set. Why would he have to work for others?
Everyone cooperated with Chang Xing enthusiastically. Some of them were not very familiar with units of length such as feet and inches, and they spent some time to study them. In fact, it is not difficult. The key depends on whether you are careful or not. These can make He Chengyu come back.
People are still very smart. Although some of them are a little older and their learning speed has slowed down, they have done carpentry after all. If they study hard, they can learn it quickly.
Ding Wei always made mistakes at the beginning, not because he was really bad at work, but because he didn't put in the effort at all. After he put in the effort, he rarely made mistakes, and he was also afraid of being driven away by Chang Xing soon. Not only was he unable to learn skills
, which is even more embarrassing.
Three days later, Chang Xing still had no intention of using that batch of rosewood to make furniture. Instead, he took out a batch of mahogany from the space magic weapon. Since he was planning to start a furniture factory, he had to do it seriously.
The furniture for Huo Zhengxiang's family was the first order of business after the furniture factory started operations. Chang Xing wanted to make sure that this order of business was done well. He knew that even if the furniture was mediocre, Huo Zhengxiang would not say anything.
Huo Zhengxiang's purpose was just to get closer to each other. But Chang Xing couldn't really do that.
All Dai Rongchang and a dozen other employees have to do is help Chang Xing prepare the rough materials, and the last process is completely completed by Chang Xing. Dai Rongchang and others only help Chang Xing complete those simple and tedious tasks, while Chang Xing
Complete the last meticulous craftsmanship yourself.
Finally, use a plane to smooth the surface carefully, and then manually use emery cloth to grind the surface extremely evenly. Then clean the dust on the surface. Use traditional techniques to prepare the paint and paint it by hand. The paint surface produced by this traditional technique is as good as its use.
The paint surface sprayed by the machine is not the same.
Under normal circumstances, the paint surface produced by electrospray painting may be smoother, and if it is sprayed in a clean room, there will not be many defects on the paint surface. However, it is different from the paint produced by Changxing by hand.
First of all, the characteristics of the hand-prepared natural paint used by Changxing are different from that of chemical paint. After the paint is applied, it almost merges with the wood, and finally a very unique bonding layer will be formed. The furniture made in this way will
It embodies a special charm. It looks like it is alive.
As long as Dai Rongchang and others finished the work at hand, they would go see Chang Xing at work.
"Boss, if you polish this by machine, it will be flatter and finer than if you polish it by hand. Why do you polish it by hand?" Dai Rongchang asked puzzledly.
"It may not be better to polish it flatter and finer. You have seen the set of furniture from Zheng's Furniture Shop. Do you think the machine can process such furniture?" Chang Xing asked.
Dai Rongchang shook his head: "How is that possible? Machines can only process mass-produced products, but they cannot produce works of art."
"That's it. Since the machine can't process it, how can I completely use the machine to process it? But letting the machine complete the previous tedious work can also save a lot of effort." Chang Xing said.
Wang Feng smiled and said: "Boss, no wonder you are teaching us. In fact, you knew earlier that we would never be able to learn. If it were so easy to learn, everyone could become an artist. I took a look at the golden nanmu furniture again
.The carvings are so beautiful. I asked other people. Experts said that the set of furniture is a rare art treasure just because of the carvings on it. Not to mention the craftsmanship of the set of furniture and the value of the golden nanmu.
. Someone has long offered Zheng’s Furniture Store a high price, twice as much as what Zheng originally paid, and even the Zheng family is unwilling.”
"Then do you still plan to continue working here?" Chang Xing asked.
"Of course I have to keep working. Even if I can't learn to be at the level of a boss, if I can learn to look like a three-pointer, I will definitely be very popular when I go out." Wang Feng said.
Chang Xing also did not hide his secrets. Chang Xing would tell the onlookers Dai Rongchang and others about the precautions for each key step.
Of course, there are a lot of parts in a complete set of furniture. Although Chang Xing's work is extremely detailed, Chang Xing's speed is extremely fast. Dai Rongchang and a dozen other people can meet Chang Xing's needs. It is rare to have the opportunity to see Chang Xing's work.
processing process.
Only at the end of the day, all the work of Dai Rongchang and others was completed, and the remaining work was all Chang Xing's alone. At this time, Dai Rongchang and others had the opportunity to go over and watch Chang Xing's operations.
Changxing is in Xiangjiang, and the furniture factory is on the right track, while Changqing is already in primary school, and Lao Tao talks with Han Huaiyi every day. His life is very stable.
On the other side of the East China Sea, not long after Chang Xing left, the East China Sea Religious Affairs Action Team came to visit.
"Comrade Wu Wanyi, right? We are from the Donghai Religious Affairs Action Team. This is Comrade Zhou Shaonan, the captain of our action team. I am in charge of this area. My name is Jin Bangmin." Jin Bangmin and Zhou Shaonan found Wu Wanyi's school.
"I am Wu Wanyi. I wonder what you want from me?" As soon as Wu Wanyi heard the name of the unit mentioned by Jin Bangmin, she knew that they were here for Chang Xing.
Zhou Shaonan said: "Comrade Wu Wanyi, don't be nervous. We are here to ask you about some of Comrade Chang Xing's situation. Times are different now, and religious affairs are treated differently."
"Why are you telling me this? My husband is a carpenter, not a religious person. You may be mistaken. My husband went to Xiangjiang to make furniture for friendly people in Xiangjiang, and everyone in the city knows about it," Wu Wanyi said.
