The Rebirth of 88s Begins with a Carpenter

  Chapter 38 Factory Transformation, New Contradictions Emerge

  When Master Chi left and returned, Wu Yuan announced in front of everyone: "This is how the workshop recruits people first, and everyone tries to do the work as fast as possible. It won't take long, and there will be appropriate adjustments."

   These words made the old generation breathe a sigh of relief.

   Made Master Chi even more ashamed.

  Although he said he was not recruiting, he didn't say why.

  But when he wanted to recruit people, Wu Yuan told him and the old generation respectively.

   Now that only one person has been recruited, no one will be recruited. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the problem lies with him or the person he is looking for.

  Gambler Zhang, you killed me!

   "Okay, let's work."

   After Wu Yuan finished speaking, he personally led his three apprentices to work hard.

  After more than half a year of tempering, Zhao Baojun has now been able to independently complete most of the processes of the combination cabinet, but his proficiency is still somewhat lacking.

  As for Ma Mingjun, he doesn't know much.

  But the skills he has mastered, such as cutting boards and planing boards, are all comparable to a master.

  Unfortunately, for the slightly more difficult mortise and tenon structure, he was powerless, and his mind was confused.

   Wu Yuan did not insist on this.

   After all, this great apprentice had the same aptitude in his previous life.

   It's not that he doesn't work hard, but that his upper limit is here.

  As for Zhu Liubiao, even Ma Mingjun said that he has a brain, but he doesn't use it very much.

  So the combination of these two crouching dragon and phoenix chicks can almost support a skilled carpenter.

take it easy.

   To preach and teach, one should have the patience to teach one's own children.

   Give the disciples more time.

  There is an extra master in the workshop.

  Wu Yuan instead worked full-time in the factory for a week.

  During this week, the factory delivered two sets of Simmons beds and one set of high-end cabinets.

  Wu Yuan also observed that the new Master Chen doesn't always get together with Master Chi, and occasionally he can smoke a cigarette and chat with the old generation with a bad face.

   This is an experienced teacher.

   Not only has the ability to accommodate people, but also has the skills to accommodate people.

  So Wu Yuan would often chat with him for a while to exchange some experiences.

  Master Chen had a high opinion of himself.

  In terms of age, he is older than Koike.

  In terms of experience, he is richer than the old generation.

  However, after he chatted with Wu Yuan a few times, the little bit of arrogance in his heart disappeared.

   "I never thought Boss Wu would be able to become a carpenter at such a young age, with such profound insights."

   "I am under the tutelage of Fourth Master Qiao, who has taught me a lot."

  Master Chen frowned slightly.

   He has met that old man, Fourth Master Qiao, and he is a bit stubborn.

  Wu Yuan may not have such profound and far-reaching views on carpentry.

   It's just at the moment, Master Chen didn't point it out, just laughed it off.

   It was also within this week that Wu Yuan contacted five or six carpenters from other villages or even the township.

  He gave them some samples of the standing wood and cross wood of the combination cabinet, and the purlin of the Simmons bed, and asked them to make a batch of samples.

  Finally, three masters were selected from them, and a long-term belt processing supply agreement was signed with them.

   Among them is Zhong Wenqiang's second uncle Zhong Zhenyuan.

   There is no doubt that Zhong Zhenyuan was recommended by his fourth brother-in-law Zhong Zhentao.

   But from the beginning to the end, Zhong Zhentao did not show up.

   It was the third brother-in-law Xiong Gang who contacted him for mediation.

   After confirming the contract processing, the village workshop also made corresponding adjustments.

  As long as the error between the semi-finished products provided by several OEMs and the standard is within a reasonable range, the subsequent assembly and modeling will not be hindered.

  Besides, due to the use of plywood veneer, the original wood finishing, and even some carving work, are all simplified.

   All supplemented by a variety of stickers printed uniformly.

  The combination cabinet that was finally baked saves a lot of time and effort, and it is still high-end.

   In a blink of an eye, it was the end of July and the beginning of August.

  Wu Yuan settled the wages of the three masters in the workshop, and also increased the subsidies for the three apprentices by the way.

   "Bao Jun, you have done a good job. The subsidy has increased to 100 yuan. Ming Jun and Lao Liu are both 75. Do you have any opinions?"

  Ma Mingjun patted Zhu Liubiao and said: "Master, in fact, Liubiao is also qualified to get 100."

   "Can I not see it?" Wu Yuan asked back: "The problem is that I not only need to see ability, but also have to see hard work."

   "And you Mingjun, if you think about yourself, can you save your brain?"

   "As a master, I naturally hope that each of you can be your own as soon as possible and become a teacher as soon as possible."

  Zhao Baojun asked suspiciously: "Master, it is said that a carpenter takes three years and one festival to become a master. Are you overestimating us?"

   "Every change remains the same. If you have the opportunity to make other furniture in the future, you will understand after careful experience."

  The apprentices received the subsidy, and everyone was happy.

  Wu Yuan also took the opportunity to close accounts.

  After adopting the OEM mode, the cost has increased slightly compared to before.

  However, due to the synchronous improvement of efficiency, the overall income of the workshop still keeps rising.

  Just because of this, the delivery cycle of orders has become shorter, and the growth rate of follow-up orders obviously cannot keep up.

   It seems that relying on the word-of-mouth model of a few albums and customers can no longer keep up with the needs of the OEM model.

  The opening of the facade in the city is imperative.

  Because of this matter, not only the old father-in-law has no clue, even the third brother-in-law has no response.

   Realizing this, Wu Yuan took a cigarette and went straight to the third sister's house in Xiaxu Village.

  It was just after seven o'clock in the evening, it was still dark, and the third brother-in-law Xiong Gang hadn't come back yet.

  Wu Xiuhua hasn't even cooked rice yet.

  Looking at the cold pot and cold stove, Wu Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Third sister, this little Wu Xiaowen isn't at home, so you two shouldn't be like this?"

  Wu Xiuhua didn't take it seriously and said: "It's hot and I don't really want to eat it. When I get hungry later, pancakes with green onions will do."

   Immediately afterwards, he asked again: "Brother Yao, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll make it right away. You and your third brother-in-law make two cups?"

  Wu Yuan didn't intend to trouble Third Sister.

  But at this moment, Xiong Gang came back, and he kept making eye contact with him and said, "Let's make two cups, Brother Yao."

   "All right, third sister."

  Wu Xiuhua heard that she was busy going out.

  Xiong just sat down on his ass, and said sadly: "If you didn't come here, I wouldn't even be able to eat a hot meal."

   "Third brother-in-law, is there any difficulty at home? Just tell me if you have any difficulties. What else can you do to see me?"

  Xiong Gang waved his hand: "It's not difficult, it's much better than before. It's purely because the children are not at home, and it's not worth cooking a decent meal. If you cook too much, it will spoil, so you can just eat whatever you want."

   Not long after, peanuts, mixed cucumbers, scrambled eggs with persimmons, and roast pork with green beans were all served on the table.

   After Wu Yuan and Xiong Gang finished a few cups, they also talked about business.

"I've been asking about the facade. Recently, in response to the policy from above, the department store has taken out some of the counters and contracted them to self-employed people. I heard that there are many people robbing them, and they can't get them off without a note. The approval of the note has nothing to do with me. looking for."

   "One more thing, the business license is easy to handle. But it's best to find someone, so as not to be targeted by those who voted for it. After all, the current policy is unclear, and there are too many ways to interpret it."

   "Okay, third brother-in-law, you help me sort out the relationship, and I will come forward."
