Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 154 The Treasure of the Town Factory (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
After hearing Zhang Junping's request, Director Li burst into ecstasy.

Before Zhang Junping bought 30 pieces of Ming and Qing ancient furniture and remnants, the woodware factory paid back a few months' wages so that everyone can have a good year.

Now, Zhang Junping wants to buy old wood again. Not only can he have a good year, but he can also have a fat year. The year-end bonus can also be considered.

When a carpentry factory starts to rely on the sale of raw materials to maintain itself, bankruptcy is not far away.

"No problem, let's go. I'll take Director Zhang to have a look and see if it suits you."

Director Li led Zhang Junping out of the office and headed to the freight yard.

"Is this the workshop of our factory?" Zhang Junping asked casually when passing by a factory building.

"Yes, this is the production workshop of our carpentry factory."

Zhang Junping's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Can I go in and study?"

"Yes, yes, factory director Zhang is welcome to visit and guide."

At this time, Factory Director Li was obedient to Zhang Junping's request.

Follow Director Li into the production workshop.

Zhang Junping was a little surprised. He originally thought that the woodware factory was not profitable, so the workshop should be overstaffed and the workers were lazily doing foreign work.

But the fact is not like this, all the master carpenters and apprentices are very serious and busy with their work.

In later generations, Zhang Junping once read some reports, saying that the reason why the company went bankrupt was because the workers were lazy, did not work hard, the high failure rate caused the cost to increase, and stole things from the factory... and cited many examples.

Zhang Junping just wanted to say, go to hell.

The bankruptcy of any factory is not the fault of the workers. Of course some of them have the problems mentioned above, but most of them are good.

Factories like Beijing Carpentry Factory are unable to raise wages and produce products that cannot be sold, but these workers are still working hard, and they hope to save the factory through their own efforts.

There is also his own furniture factory. Originally, he was worried that if he recruited so many apprentices at once, it would not be easy to manage, would he be lazy and slippery, or other bad things would happen.

But the result?
None of the things he was worried about happened. Everyone cherished the current job opportunity and asked to work overtime to learn technology. Except for one troublemaker, the others were very obedient.

Only a person whose conscience has been eaten by a dog will think that the bankruptcy of the factory is the responsibility of the workers.

"The abacus is produced here, and the abacus from our carpentry factory is a best-seller in the whole country.

The furniture produced here is for export, and the furniture of our woodware factory is still very popular in the world. "Director Li proudly introduced to Zhang Junping.

"Hehe, it's amazing. Exports earn foreign exchange. Director Li, you are contributing to the realization of the four modernizations." Zhang Junping said with a meaningful smile.

Popularity is true, but it does not mean profit, otherwise it will not be so poor that it will sell furniture and old wood.

Zhang Junping didn't expose them, it was unnecessary.

"Well, there was one more thing I wanted to trouble Director Li, but seeing how busy our carpentry factory is, I couldn't open my mouth."

Director Li blinked his eyes, savoring the meaning of Zhang Junping's words, but said habitually: "It's okay, Director Zhang, please tell me what's going on first. Although I'm busy here, it's not like I can't find someone Come."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that our factory has already placed orders until the end of next year, so I thought, if possible, we can ask our carpentry factory to help process a batch of furniture parts. The price is negotiable." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Junping's words, Director Li felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky, and it happened to hit him on the head, and he was a little dazed.

In the era of planned economy, the carpentry factory was very comfortable. You don't have to worry about anything, just sit and wait for the tasks assigned by your superiors.

However, with the reform and opening up, the country is transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy, and the production tasks assigned by the superiors to the woodware factory have suddenly decreased.

So the life of the carpentry factory became difficult.

After a while, Director Li asked in disbelief: "Director Zhang, you said you plan to transfer the order to us?"

"It's not to transfer the order to you, but to entrust our carpentry factory to process some furniture parts." Zhang Junping corrected.

"It's just some furniture parts?" Director Li was a little disappointed.

"Yes, not much, at most an order of 10,000+ yuan a month, if Director Li can help..."

"Yes, no problem! Our carpentry factory can take this order." Before Zhang Junping finished speaking, Factory Manager Li rushed to agree.

An order of 10,000+ a month is not a small amount for a carpentry factory.

"Alright then, let's take a look at the old mahogany first, and then slowly discuss the price." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

Just seeing the workshop of the woodware factory, Zhang Junping suddenly thought that he was too busy with orders now, so why not distribute the orders to some of the woodware factory.

Not only the Beijing Woodware Factory, but also several other woodware factories can also follow the prescription and entrust them to process it on their behalf.

As for whether they will learn the style of furniture they designed, and then produce it themselves to compete with him for business.

Zhang Junping had already taken precautions against this, and what he handed over to the carpentry factory were only furniture parts.

For example, for a large wardrobe, he only handed over half of the parts to the woodwork factory for processing, and the drawings handed over to the woodware factory were just drawings of the dimensions of each part.

No matter how good the master in the carpentry factory is, it is impossible to guess the furniture style from half of the furniture parts.

Another one, if people really want to imitate, they don’t need to place an order to imitate. Just buy a set of furniture and take it back. Those master carpenters can imitate it. The designed furniture is restored.

"Okay, okay, Director Zhang, please!" Director Li was even more enthusiastic about Zhang Junping.

Although Director Li was a bit selfish, he still had true feelings for the woodware factory. Zhang Junping's order undoubtedly saved the woodware factory.

Otherwise, next year at most, the carpentry factory will really stop working and wait for production. All kinds of furniture for export have been piled up in the warehouse, and there is no place to store them for further production.

"Director Zhang, look, this one is old mahogany, which is the treasure of our woodware factory.

Before the end of the Qing Dynasty, the carpentry factory was still called Long Shuncheng, and a batch of furniture was ordered in the palace. As a result, the wood had just been shipped back, and the Qing Dynasty suddenly disappeared overnight.

Later, when Yuan Shikai came to the throne, he also wanted to use this piece of wood to make a set of furniture, but Yuan Shikai died before we started making it. "Director Li pointed to an old mahogany log with a thickness of two meters and said to Zhang Junping.

Zhang Junping didn't know if what Factory Manager Li said was true, but the old mahogany log with a diameter of more than two meters was indeed qualified to be called the treasure of the factory.

　Thank you for the reward [It's sunny and not sunny]
