Chapter 463 I'm Going to the Police Station to Report the Case
In the next few days, Xu Chunsheng concentrated on making furniture at home.
Now he is becoming more and more comfortable with the electric saw, and in half a day, he has cut all the polycarbonate panels.
Then, it was polishing, edge sealing, etc. Wen Laowu helped with it. Now that he was busy, he didn't talk about drinking much.
Sure enough, people should not be too idle. Only when they are idle can they have a leisurely mood, and only then can they want to drink wine, sip tea, play birds and admire flowers.
When the chainsaw started working here, the sound alerted the neighbors in the village. Everyone came to watch and see what was going on.
With such a small courtyard and half a courtyard wall, Xu Erlong certainly couldn't stop others from coming to watch.
Here, there is a family named Luo, who also has a young man in his twenties.
I used to work as a temporary worker in a steel rolling mill, but I broke two fingers due to improper operation and was sent home.
At this great age, I have become a disabled person. It is really frustrating to stay at home.
Now seeing the outsiders renting houses making furniture in the small yard all day long, Luo Limin also became interested.
Like others, he squatted at the door and watched Xu Chunsheng and others making furniture.
This time, Xu Erlong plans to finish all the furniture and then sell it slowly.
This time, the pallet truck pulled more goods, including a total of five folding tables and several table shelves.
I still chose the street market from last time, carefully set up the stalls, and started selling goods slowly.
After so many visits, Xu Chunsheng and Wen Laowu were a little better than the last time. They no longer felt embarrassed standing in the back with their heads down.
In addition, it was Sunday, so there were a lot of people shopping, and a lot of people asked questions when passing by.
Xu Erlong explained and introduced them one by one.
Especially the desk rack, there were a lot of people interested, but it sold out quickly.
Xu Erlong decided to make more such table shelves based on market demand.
This thing is too simple to make, just cut it into plates and then put them together, so it can be mass produced.
Since it's mass production, Xu Chunsheng definitely can't do it alone.
Moreover, the production process of this thing is simple, and it is estimated that more and more people will follow the trend in the market soon.
Xu Erlong's idea is to recruit some apprentices in the name of apprentices, and then wholesale the furniture to others for sale in the name of wholesale. He will operate purely as a furniture factory.
As long as the wind blows fast on your side, others will not be able to keep up.
After selling out the tables at the back, Xu Erlong took Xu Chunsheng and Wen Laowu to the lumber company to purchase goods.
On this trip, Xu Erlong asked for twice as many boards as last time, and successfully reduced the price of each piece of Polywood board by 50 cents.
"Little brother, it looks like your business is doing well." The boss selling wood said to Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong said modestly: "No, we are just making ends meet, relying on small profits but quick turnover."
"Why don't you put two pieces of furniture with me and I'll help you sell them." The other party smiled and offered this condition.
Xu Erlong smiled and shook his head. He mainly sells boards, how could he take the initiative to help sell furniture for himself.
This is a drunkard whose intention is not to drink.
As long as the sample is placed at the door of the store, other customers can buy more polyplates and process them according to the sample.
This boss is cultivating his own customers, but Xu Erlong is cultivating potential rivals. Xu Erlong will definitely not be happy.
Even if Xu Chunsheng is not good at sales, Xu Erlong only plans to develop other channels.
The owner of the wood shop was asked to deliver the goods to the small yard as requested, and the villagers came over to watch out of curiosity.
When Xu Erlong and others were unloading the goods and moving the boards into the yard, Xu Erlong found a young man not much older than him helping.
While lifting the planks, Xu Erlong saw that his index and middle fingers were gone.
Xu Erlong secretly guessed, could this be a carpenter too?
Are you here to spy on the situation?
After all, in the 1980s and 1990s, too many carpenters lost their fingers because of improper operation of electric saws.
After placing all the materials properly, Xu Erlong smiled and handed the cigarette to the young man, and asked him about his situation: "Thank you so much, brother, I don't know what to call him yet."
"My surname is Luo, and my name is Luo Limin." The other party responded.
"It turns out to be Brother Luo. Thank you for your help just now." Xu Erlong smiled and walked forward, holding a match and lighting a cigarette for the other party: "I think there is something strange about Brother Luo's hand. Was it injured while making furniture?"
Luo Limin looked a little sad: "No, it was rolled by the machine tool when we were in the steel rolling mill."
"Is that so?" Xu Erlong looked surprised and sad: "That was a work-related injury? Has the factory compensated you?"
"No, they say I did it improperly." Luo Limin said.
Xu Erlong complained for him: "This is too merciless. I have lost all my fingers while working for the factory, but it can't be counted as a work-related injury. No compensation is given. It's simply too much."
This was Luo Limin's sad story. He sighed: "What can we do? My parents went to the factory to talk to the boss about it, and the factory gave them 100 yuan, and that's it."
He spoke so calmly, but Xu Erlong felt a pity in his heart, alas, two fingers are only worth a hundred dollars.
"However, now I'm used to it. I can still work with just three fingers," Luo Limin said.
Xu Erlong believed that he was quite flexible just now when he was helping to move the boards.
Think about those people without arms. After long-term exercise, they can comb their hair, cook with their feet, and do things with their feet, and they can still do it smoothly.
Xu Erlong chatted with him for a few words and made sure that he was not a carpenter and was not sneaking in to spy on the situation, so he felt relieved.
In the evening, when Xu Erlong and Xu Chunsheng were having dinner, Xu Erlong tentatively discussed with Xu Chunsheng: "Yao dad, if you were asked to recruit some apprentices to help us work together, how would you feel?"
These days, these craftsmen still have a stubborn understanding, and they always have the idea of teaching apprentices and starving the master to death.
There is a kind of resistance to accepting disciples.
Unless they are extremely close relatives or have other very deep friendships, they will accept a disciple.
Moreover, after accepting a disciple, he will not teach him well. At least he will have to be helped by others to do the work for a few years, and only then will he be taught some skills bit by bit.
Even so, I still want to keep my last trick and refuse to teach it to others.
Xu Erlong now just wants to see what Xu Chunsheng's attitude is towards accepting disciples.
Xu Chunsheng held the rice bowl and looked at Xu Erlong strangely: "Erlong, you want to learn this? If you want to learn, I will teach you."
