1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Furniture, if you can use it at home, take some back, and transfer the rest." Lu Hao said.

He is in the department store business, and there are also furniture for sale in the store. The quality of the furniture factory owned by the uncle and the third uncle is indeed good, but he does not want to take over, nor does he want to transfer the furniture to the department store for sale.

One is that the distance is relatively long, the transportation is troublesome, and the cost will increase after transportation, so it is not as convenient as purchasing nearby.

Another thing is that this furniture factory is not well-known. Although the quality of the products is good, the quality of the furniture sold in the department store is also not bad. They are all local brands in Jiangcheng, and many of them have won awards.

"So much furniture is made with care, and the quality is excellent. It is definitely not at this price when it is transferred out, and it will definitely be much lower." Lu Hanyue felt a little regretful.

He looked at Lu Hao, "You are doing business in Jiangcheng, is there any way to sell these furniture, even if it is sold at cost price, it is more cost-effective than transferring it out."

These are not only furniture, but also his painstaking efforts. It is a bit unwilling to let others be so cheap, thinking that it would be good if Lu Hao could sell them at the cost price.

"There is a way, but it is more troublesome, and the loss outweighs the gain." When it comes to business, Lu Hao is not polite at all.

Even the very close uncle, third uncle, and aunt, he said very clearly, "There are furniture for sale in my store, but they are all local products in Jiangcheng, and most of them are state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises. Their products have won the title of famous, new and special products."

"It's famous, it's close, and the transportation is convenient. Another thing, state-owned units and collective enterprises have jurisdiction over them. I buy from them, which is equivalent to taking care of their business. In other respects, they can give me convenience. Mutual benefit, if I eat the products of Uncle and Uncle’s Furniture Factory, the business volume with them will decrease, which is not worthwhile for long-term business.”

There are many enterprises in the Jiangcheng furniture industry, and there are many products.

So far, there are about 50 furniture enterprises in total, state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises occupy the majority, and there are also some sporadic private enterprises.

But most of these private enterprises are not simple.

Most of these private furniture enterprises were established through contracting and purchasing state-owned and collective furniture factories. The bosses of private enterprises may be the brother-in-law or younger brother of some company, and they all have backgrounds.

The water inside is very deep, and the relationship is intricate. Although it is private in nature, there may be connections within the system.

Lu Hao wanted to keep in touch with them.

This principle is actually similar to dating a man and a woman. I bought you a brand-name bag and there is a hotel next to it. I want you to go in and sit down. You have to agree.

There is a tacit understanding between each other.

exchange.

Most of the furniture factories belong to the light industry system.

Jiangcheng's light industry system is mainly composed of the Municipal No. 190 Light Industry Bureau and the Municipal No. 18 Light Industry Bureau. It has a large management authority, with more than [-] items, which are divided into long-term planning, annual planning, production scheduling, external coordination, internal coordination, formulation of plans, and inspection and supervision. [-] categories, including guidance services, standard-setting, industrial statistics, economic information, comprehensive research, personnel training, general consultation, industry management, administrative affairs, entity management, and social work.

The Municipal No. 5 Light Bureau has 5 industrial companies including food, printing, paper, glass ceramics, and daily chemicals, and 10 general factories of bicycles, sewing machines, enamel, brewing, and pens, and a total of [-] secondary companies.

The Municipal Second Light Bureau has 15 secondary departments for hardware, tools, household appliances, lamps, metal furniture, bamboo and wood furniture, plastics, aluminum products, daily style, arts and crafts, leather, leather bags, clothing, shoes and hats, metal recycling, etc. level industrial company.

These companies not only do business, but also have administrative functions.

Simply put, it is both a player and a referee.

In the past few years, the separation of administration and enterprise has been implemented. Some companies have stripped their administrative powers and only do business, but the bones and tendons have been broken.

Moreover, even if it is spun off, it will only enlarge the independent management rights of the enterprise, and the light industry system still has administrative management rights.

Hongyuan Beverage Factory is under the management of Light Industry System.

Lu Hao is still working on the idea of ​​Hongyuan Beverage Factory. No matter what, the relationship with the light industry system should not be too rigid. It is necessary to maintain a good relationship with the furniture factory that has a state-owned background and belongs to the light industry system. It is necessary to maintain business contacts.

Hearing Lu Hao's explanation, Yu Xiufang looked at him and boasted repeatedly, "It's different, it's really different, it's much more mature and stable, and it's finally grown up."

She looked her nephew up and down, very happy, "If your uncle had your brains, the furniture factory wouldn't be opened like this."

She was very happy that Lu Hao could think so carefully, and she was not angry because of Lu Hao's straightforward words.

If it were an ordinary person, she believed that Lu Hao would not be able to explain so clearly the twists and turns.

She looked at Lu Hao, "Then do what you want, bring back the furniture that can be brought back, and sell all the furniture at a low price if you can't."

Lu Baisheng and Lu Hanyue also nodded.

"The market here in E City is still a bit small, and transportation is not very convenient at the moment. In fact, you should go to a big city for business." Lu Hao said.

In small cities, the market is very limited and the consumption level is also low, whether it is now or in the future.

"At that time, I thought that the contracting cost of this furniture factory was lower, and in a small city, there were fewer peers, and the competition was not so fierce, but only now did I realize that the competition is indeed not so fierce, but the market is also small, and there is less human relationship. It's not inferior to big cities." Lu Baisheng sighed.

He had his own considerations for contracting the furniture factory in Xia'e City, but he only said that his considerations were different from what Lu Hao mentioned.

"How many days are you going to stay at home?" Yu Xiufang looked at Lu Hao.

"Go up today." Lu Hao said.

Jiangcheng is above Duandian Town, and E City is below Duandian Town.

In other words, he was going to Jiangcheng.

"It's better to go back earlier, Xiao Min is a good girl, don't let her down, treat her well, you know?" Yu Xiufang looked at Lu Hao and reminded her.

"I know." Lu Hao nodded.

"Don't go back at noon, have a meal at aunt's." Yu Xiufang pulled Lu Hao and refused to let him go.

She went to buy vegetables, and when she came back, she washed the vegetables and cooked. The table was full, and all of them were Lu Hao's favorite food.

At the table, several people chatted in detail about some details.

After eating, Lu Hao got into the car and left.

Yu Xiufang went all the way to the door, still telling him to drive slowly on the way.

The three of them will stay in the furniture factory for a few days to deal with the follow-up matters.

Lu Hao drove back to Lujiawan directly.

In front of the house, Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang were turning over the rice stalks so that the rice underneath could also dry out.

Dried earlier, threshed earlier.

To thresh the rice, the rice stalks are usually spread out, and the cows pull the stone rollers, and press them in circles on the top. The cows are shared by several families, and the rice must be dried on the day when it is the turn of the family, so that the cows can be used. Otherwise, it will have to be delayed for several days and other things will be delayed.

Seeing Lu Hao come back, Lu Liexing asked, "Your uncle and third uncle agreed?"
