"Have you settled the matter of Xianji Bridge for them?" Lao Dao asked with concern.
"Don't worry. It's all done. I won't worry if it doesn't go well," Chang Xing said.
"That's good. You have to rest assured. You grew up in Xianji Bridge." The old Taoist said.
"Master, don't worry. I won't ignore the matter of Xianji Bridge. But now I really don't know how to take care of the machinery factory. When I was at home, I had a good talk with them. I
After it came out, something happened again. They still have the same concept as before. They only know how to produce and not sell. What they build will just wait for others to buy it. How can this be done? Let them come to Xiangjiang one day to have a look.
Learn from the people here." Chang Xing said.
"This is a good idea! Anyway, if you have money now, you can pay for the people from the brigade to come to Xiangjiang to broaden their horizons. You always say that they are ignorant. If you didn't come to Xiangjiang, you would have so many ideas.
?" said the old Taoist.
"Okay, I'll find Huo Zhengxiang and He Chengyu. They should have something to do." Chang Xing said.
"You have to take this matter seriously and get it done quickly," the old Taoist said.
In order to let the old man stay in Xiangjiang with peace of mind, Chang Xing quickly went to find Huo Zhengxiang and He Chengyu. Of course they had a way.
"It's simple. I can get it done by just making a few phone calls. When people come to Xiangjiang, I just take them to visit my factories." Huo Zhengxiang said.
"It's better for me to contact you. I'm more familiar with people in the mainland," He Chengyu said.
"Okay, okay, okay, I know you have a good relationship with the mainland. You are responsible for the affairs in the mainland. After coming here, I will arrange a few professionals here to provide professional training to them to ensure that they can run their machinery factory after they return.
Get up. However, in my opinion, that machinery factory has nothing to offer. That production line is too backward. Our Huo family's factory imported several sets of advanced mechanical processing equipment from the Little Devils. The products processed are comparable to those of factories in the mainland.
The quality is much better," Huo Zhengxiang said.
"Then can I buy some advanced machinery for our brigade factory?" Chang Xing asked.
"This matter will be easy to handle. I will buy some equipment from the Japs in the name of the Huo family. Then I will arrange for people to be responsible for the installation and debugging. But it is not easy to transport this machine to Xianji Bridge." Huo Zhengxiang said.
"Don't worry about this, I have a solution." Chang Xing said.
"That's no problem." Huo Zhengxiang said.
Chang Xing quickly called Zhou Maolin to tell Zhou Maolin about the situation. Zhou Maolin was also very supportive of the young people from Xianjiqiao Brigade going to Xiangjiang to open their eyes. However, he was worried that the cost of going to Xiangjiang would be too high. Because of the brigade's affairs,
I felt a bit sorry to have Chang Xing bear the expenses alone.
"Chang Xing, it's all uncles who have no ability. Without you, no one in the Xianjiqiao brigade has the ability to lead the brigade. You see, this time it's because of the brigade's affairs that you have to spend money alone. How can you be embarrassed?" Zhou Maolin?
He said very guiltily.
"Uncle Maolin, don't think so much. I have already arranged things here. When the time comes, someone will go to Xianji Bridge to contact you. They will be responsible for bringing you to Xiangjiang. When you get here, someone will be responsible for them.
Provide training to ensure that they can independently carry out production in Xianjiqiao in the future and sell the products," Chang Xing said.
"That's good, that's good. It's right to ask you for this matter. Uncle really has nothing to do, otherwise I wouldn't want to tell you all these things. Don't be embarrassed, how much money you spend, the brigade will pay you back in the future. Always.
I can’t let you be burdened again and have to spend money.” Zhou Maolin said.
"Uncle Maolin, you are slapping me in the face. What's the point of spending some money? I have always regarded the folks in Xianjiqiao as my relatives. I am very happy to do something for you. Now I
If you have the ability to contribute to the team, don't stop me." Chang Xing said.
"Okay, Chang Xing, you are a good boy." Zhou Maolin's eyes turned red with excitement, and he shed tears at the point of delivery.
After Chang Xing came back from Little World, he never went to a furniture factory. Originally, Chang Xing planned to close the furniture factory, but Dai Rongchang and others refused to live idle and wanted to do something worth their wages.
The furniture factory that has not stopped working is now in full swing. Dai Rongchang and others have been busy. They have to work harder than Chang Xing did when he was at the furniture factory.
"When will this set of furniture be available soon?" Dai Rongchang asked Wang Feng.
Wang Feng said: "It will still take two days. The main reason is that we don't have a carver as good as the boss. Otherwise, the speed will definitely be faster."
"Don't even think about the boss's craftsmanship. If everything is taken over by the boss, what do we need to do? How can we compare with the boss? Is the carpenter's craftsmanship better than his? However, my department does not need to be as good as the boss.
, as long as we can make a rough idea. That’s what the boss said." Dai Rongchang said.
"Two days, give it another two days and I'll get a set of furniture." Wang Feng said.
"I'll give you a week to do a better job. Don't ruin the boss's brand," Dai Rongchang said.
"Don't worry. We can't make furniture at the boss's level, but we can still make first-class furniture in Xiangjiang. By the way, can you be good at the paint that the boss mixed?" Wang Feng said.
"No problem. I will be responsible for that." Dai Rongchang said.
Chang Xing was busy with Xianji Bridge's affairs. He also went to the factory with Huo Zhengxiang and saw the more advanced machines from the world. Compared with Xianji Bridge's, it was indeed much more advanced.
After all, the set of mechanical equipment introduced by Xianji Bridge has been in place for many years. It was probably not advanced equipment when it was introduced. Now that so many years have passed, compared with these relatively new instruments, it naturally lags behind.
many.
Chang Xing knows that even if he drags Xianji Bridge to catch up step by step, in the end, he will still be far behind the factories in places like Xiangjiang. But there is no way, Chang Xing has to drag Xianji Bridge forward even if he drags him.
Let’s go. I just hope that with this experience, Xiao Jinlin and the others can mature quickly.
In the furniture factory, Dai Rongchang led the workers in the furniture factory to work overtime for several days, and finally made a set of furniture. Even the paint has been painted. Compared with the furniture made by Changxing, it is naturally
It lacks charm. But this set of furniture is indeed very exquisitely made. There is no fine carving, but it looks more simple and elegant. In addition, the paint is very special, and it shows its class at first glance.
"I really can't imagine that we can also make such exquisite furniture. This set of furniture should be able to sell for a good price, right?" Dai Rongchang couldn't put it down and rubbed the lubricated furniture panels with his hands.
"Anyway, I've been to Zheng's Furniture Store several times in the past two days. In addition to the set of golden nanmu furniture, there is also a set of mahogany furniture in the back. There is no set of furniture that can compare to the one we made.
A set of furniture. I guess they have never even seen such a painter." Wang Feng said with a smile.
"That's true. The paint made by the boss is really good. It doesn't smell like paint at all, but the paint surface is much stronger than those imported paints." Dai Rongchang said.
"Tell me, if we sell this set of furniture, how much will it cost? The wood we use is not cheap. The cost alone costs several thousand Hong Kong dollars. Including labor, it must be tens of thousands."
?" Ding Wei asked.
"In Zheng's Furniture Store, the furniture that is much worse than ours is priced at tens of thousands. Our furniture is definitely not comparable to the furniture made by the boss, but with the boss's name on it, this furniture must be sold.
Come up with a good price. If we put the price at 60,000, do you think anyone would buy it?" Xie Jiexun said.
"Zheng's Furniture Store is much inferior to ours. The price of our furniture is RMB 60,000 per room. We have to buy our furniture for RMB 88,000." Ding Wei said.
"Are you kidding me, 88,000 yuan, that's a little too high, isn't it? Zheng's furniture can sell for 60,000 yuan, that's because of their reputation. Not to mention that it's their best style." Dai Rongchang said.
"Is our style worse than theirs?" Ding Wei said.
"That's not the case. After all, this is the style designed by the boss. Can ordinary designs be compared with those designed by our boss? It's just that their Zheng family has been doing it for many years." Dai Rongchang said.
"Zheng's has been doing it for many years, so we should back down? The boss said that if we don't do it, we will do it. If we do, we will make high-quality products. If we don't even dare to raise the price of Zheng's, then what high-quality products should we make?" Wang
Feng said.
"Wang Feng is right. We only make high-quality products. Regardless of the high price, in fact we can't make a few sets in a month. After removing the raw materials and wages, we won't make much money in the end. It's not even what the boss makes casually.
Here’s a set of furniture.” Ding Wei said.
Dai Rongchang thought about it and agreed: "Then it's settled, eighty-eight thousand."
"Where can we sell this set of furniture?" Ding Wei asked.
"This is not easy to handle. We are not like the Zheng family. We don't have a store. Why should we open a store just for this set of furniture? We won't even be able to earn back the rent of the store," Dai Rongchang said.
"Why are you anxious? We don't have a store, but others do. Huo Zhengxiang and He Chengyu, two big families, have stores. We will send this set of furniture to a well-located store for a few days, and maybe someone else will buy it.
." Wang Feng said.
"Does that mean we need to find the boss?" Xie Jiexun asked.
"No need. Don't bother the boss with this matter. We can just go find Boss He ourselves." Ding Wei said.
Dai Rongchang and others used to work in the He family's furniture factory, and were naturally familiar with He Chengyu. They were not familiar with Huo Zhengxiang. They only knew such a person from TV and newspapers.
When Dai Rongchang found He Chengyu, He Chengyu agreed without hesitation: "There is really no need to disturb my brother Chang with this matter. Just leave this matter to me. I will be responsible for the sales of these furniture. The furniture you will make in the future
, I will be responsible for sales.”
"That's great." Dai Rongchang said excitedly.
"How is your boss doing now?" He Chengyushun asked.
"Last time we said we were going to a place. We were originally going to give us all a holiday, but we insisted on staying," Dai Rongchang said.
"What? Brother Chang really went out?" He Chengyu asked.
"It seems so." Dai Rongchang nodded.
"Okay, I will solve the sales problem." He Chengyu said.
The next day, a set of furniture was added to a large shopping mall that He Chengyu had just taken over. The price was very shocking.
"Look, look, there is a set of furniture in the hall. This furniture is really exquisite. How did you make it?"
“It looks good, but it’s a bit expensive.”
When ordinary people see this set of furniture, they can mostly just admire it. After all, the price of a set of furniture is RMB 80,000, which is really amazing. But people who see this set of furniture can understand this set of furniture.
Price. Because this set of furniture strives for excellence in both design and workmanship.
Dai Rongchang and others also took advantage of the weekend to go to the mall to admire their own masterpieces.
"It looks like we won't be able to sell it for a while." Wang Feng said.
Ding Wei also sighed: "If I had money, I wouldn't sell it and keep it for myself. This is the first set of furniture we made, and it is very memorable."
"Well, it's a pity that I don't have any money." Dai Rongchang also sighed.
When Zheng Zhigang heard the news, he also ran over to take a look. As a result, He Chengyu caught him in the act.
"Brother Zhigang, you didn't even say hello to your brother when you came. I should prepare some tea." He Chengyu said with a smile.
"Brother Chengyu, you understand very well what I am here for, but don't pretend to be confused because you understand." Zheng Zhigang said.
He Chengyu smiled: "Why am I pretending to be confused? My mall already has furniture business. How could I not care about the furniture from my brother's furniture factory?"
Zheng Zhigang looked at it with envy: "Forget it, I have expected all this a long time ago. I knew that once Master Chang was destined to enter the furniture business, the furniture business in Xiangjiang would not have a good life. But it seems that he can get into Changjiang.
The only things that masters have a good eye for are high-end furniture in the furniture market."
"Of course, can furniture like that set of golden nanmu be put in the mall for bargaining? Let me tell you, from now on I will let the furniture factory Chang Laodi take over all the high-end markets in Xiangjiang." He Chengyu
said.
While He Chengyu and Zheng Zhigang were talking, a salesperson hurried over to report.
"Mr. He, that set of furniture has been bought by someone!"
"Bought?" He Chengyu stood up excitedly. He never expected that this set of furniture could be sold so quickly.
"Bought?" Zheng Zhigang obviously didn't believe it.
"The person just took one look and paid the money." The salesperson herself is still a little confused now.
"Didn't I bargain with you?" He Chengyu asked.
"No, I came over to take a look and bought it directly," the salesperson said.
