The simple workshop was divided into more than a dozen areas and processes, with dozens of workers busy non-stop.
Some are planing boards, some are drilling holes, and others are cutting wood. Everyone is busy.
The business of Peng's Wood Industry Workshop is quite good.
With good quality, suitable prices, and most importantly, the ability to launch new furniture suitable for community housing, although it has only been established for a few months, there are always so many orders that we can't finish them.
.
"When planing wood, the plane must be flat and the force must be even so that the wood can be planed smooth and flat without damaging the wood. If you use too much force, it will eat it directly."
"This is not how the wood is cracked. You can't use such force. You have to do it slowly, little by little, to avoid using too much force and breaking the wood all at once."
"This batch of wood is not good. It's too small, and the lengths are different. Don't buy from this person next time."
Carpenter Peng walked around the workshop, constantly instructing the workers in the workshop on their work, and carefully inspected the incoming wood.
Carpenter Peng, who has been working as a carpenter all his life, is very good at these things. You can tell how well he is doing at a glance.
"Dad, we received more than 30 sets in Shuxiangli."
At this time Peng Laosan came back. Now he is only responsible for taking orders. Every day he takes a cart of samples to the Shuxiangli gate for display.
The furniture made by Peng's Wood Industry is indeed good. The key is that it fits the size of the suite. Therefore, the business is constant. It can receive a lot of orders every day, and some people even come to the door to customize what they need.
furniture.
"Hmm~"
Hearing this, Carpenter Peng also nodded with satisfaction. Such a big workshop, with dozens of people working and eating, would definitely not be able to do without enough orders every day.
"Dad, a customer gave me feedback today, saying that although our furniture is of good workmanship, the style is too old and asked if we have any new furniture."
"Like this dining table, they think it's too ordinary and not upscale. They feel that their house cost hundreds of taels of silver. If they use too ordinary furniture, it will look low-end."
"Do you think we can consider designing some new furniture, like this stool? We mainly make long benches. It's not good to buy this kind of furniture."
"Can we improve on those Taishi chairs and design some chairs that look more upscale?"
In addition to bringing back orders, Peng Laosan also brought back some opinions from customers.
The most common feedback from everyone is that they feel that the styles are old and not high-end enough, and they hope that new and high-end products will come out.
"Well, let me think of a solution for this."
When Carpenter Peng heard this, he nodded.
If it were in the past, Carpenter Peng would naturally not listen to this. Craftsmen also have the arrogance of craftsmen. This has been like this for generations, why must it be changed?
Whether you like it or not, you all follow the instructions passed down from your ancestors.
But it's different now. You have a workshop now, and you have dozens of workers, and the salary you pay every month costs hundreds of taels. If you are still so arrogant, how can you get orders?
Therefore, customers are the boss. We will do what customers say. We will listen to their opinions and make continuous improvements based on their needs.
Not only the size needs to be changed, but also the style, style, etc. must be continuously improved and introduced, so that we can continuously increase our competitiveness, obtain more orders, and survive.
"Is this Peng's Wood Industry?"
At this time, someone outside shouted.
"Yes, yes~"
"I am Peng Laosan."
Peng Laosan also hurried out. When he took a look, he suddenly realized that it was a delivery boy.
"The machine you ordered has arrived. Where will it be installed?"
"The machine is here?"
"Come, come sit down and have some tea and rest. I'll clear the place right away."
When Peng Laosan heard this, he immediately happily greeted him.
The machine Peng Laosan ordered this time is a machine specially used for cutting wood. It is driven by an internal combustion engine and has a huge saw-toothed saw. The machine can drive the wood to cut wood easily.
Soon, the machine was installed.
"Tutu~tutu~"
As the internal combustion engine started, the huge saw started to rotate rapidly, and the work of cutting out a large piece of wood was quickly completed.
Moreover, it is very convenient and easy to saw wood into boards. You can cut the board as thick as you want, and a piece of wood can be fully utilized.
In the past, it was often difficult to make full use of a piece of wood. Using a small saw to cut wood not only required a lot of time, but also made it difficult to cut multiple boards.
"Tsk tsk, this machine is really good."
"The cutting speed is really fast, and the cut material is also quite smooth. After a little processing and burr removal, it can be used directly."
Carpenter Peng has been working as a carpenter all his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a machine.
Looking at the rotation of the machine, the wood that used to take a long time to saw can now be completed in a few or two. It is very easy, and the wood can also be better utilized. This efficiency and quality are both outstanding.
.
Carpenter Peng couldn't help but nod his head. This machine is really good and easy to use.
"And in the future, much less wood will be wasted. With this machine, our costs can be reduced a lot."
Peng Laosan also smiled and nodded.
Dad is always against the purchase of expensive machines, but you get what you pay for. This machine also has the advantages of a machine. It saves trouble when cutting materials, saves labor and time, and the cost can be reduced a lot, which means that your own
Profits can be higher.
"Well, it can indeed reduce the waste of wood."
Carpenter Peng also nodded and looked at the guys who were busy and busy. They cut the wood very quickly. They cut out all kinds of wood boards, wood blocks, etc.
These woods can then be used to make furniture directly after a little processing.
"Dad, I learned about it from the machinery company."
"There are many kinds of machines, including machines that specialize in drilling holes. When the machine is turned on, all kinds of holes can be opened."
"There are also specialized polishing and polishing machines, which are also very useful."
"And many machines now use electricity. When we have electricity here in the future, we can also purchase more machines."
Peng Laosan said with a smile.
"Take it step by step and eat it one bite at a time."
Although Carpenter Peng was very satisfied with the machinery in front of him, he still felt that work should be done slowly and not in a hurry.
"Yes, Dad~"
Peng Laosan also nodded.
He is full of energy now. Now that he is the boss, he is busy taking orders and delivering orders every day. He no longer deals with wood. This man is full of energy.
In addition, now we are all under the same boss, managing dozens of people, and handling hundreds of taels of money every month, which feels very good.
"Dad, I've seen many businesses and workshops have their own logos and patterns on everything."
"I think our Peng's Wood Industry should also have its own logo and pattern."
"In this way, when others look at the logo and pattern, they will know that this is furniture produced by our Peng's Wood Industry."
"In addition to the furniture we currently produce, I think we must continue to innovate and design new furniture."
"I also want to open a specialty store of our Peng's Wood Industry, where our furniture will be specially displayed, so that we can attract more customers to buy our products."
Peng Laosan also put forward some of his ideas.
He found that doing business now can no longer be the same as before. Instead, he must constantly innovate, learn to show himself and let others know himself, so that he can do better business and do bigger business.
"You have a good idea."
"I will do the design work, and you will be responsible for the other things."
Carpenter Peng thought for a while and nodded in support.
My son is quite talented at this job. The workshop is also prosperous and very profitable now. Next, he plans to expand the scale of the workshop and prepare to build a special factory to produce all kinds of furniture.
.
Now they are also talking about how to learn from other businesses, factories and the like to create logos, patterns, and open specialty stores. These are things that Carpenter Peng doesn’t understand at all.
Since you don't understand, just don't say anything and let Peng Laosan do it by himself. As for himself, he will concentrate on doing the carpentry work that he is good at and designing some new furniture.
"Hmm~"
Peng Laosan also nodded.
He now often visits some factories in Chengdu to learn about the management experience and production methods of these large factories. At the same time, he is thinking about how to improve efficiency, reduce costs, introduce new products, etc.
It is precisely because of Peng Laosan's painstaking management that Peng's Wood Industry, a century-old enterprise that will be famous for generations to come!
