Chapter 119, there is a happy event in the family

Director Liu, after they came back, they devoted themselves to research. In their words: take back the lost time!

I don't know if I don't go outside to see, but I don't know how big the gap is with others when I go. The United States has already developed CNC machine tools in the late fifties, and other Western countries such as Germany have also followed suit, and then the development has been getting faster and faster. We started in the sixties, but as soon as the movement came, there was little progress. So now the domestic CNC machine tools are almost blank, all of which are imported.

After this trip to the United States, Director Liu and his family are very aware of the importance of mastering technology, and if people don't want to give it to you, they won't give it to you, and if they want it, they will buy their products. So, they decided to come back and work hard to research and come up with their own technology as soon as possible.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Ya invited his brother-in-law and cousins to celebrate the festival, and the cousins discussed whether to open a store in the city that specializes in buying furniture.

"The equipment of our factory has been replaced with new ones, and now the production capacity has come up, but relying on a few brothers to bring people to sell, we can't sell so much, and there is a backlog of products. Brother Yuanshan said, "And there is no store, and people still don't believe us." ”

"Build a store, this is definitely okay. Li Ya said, "There is a store in Shenzhen that specializes in selling furniture, and they are still very large, and the business is booming." ”

"Then get one?" asked Brother Yuanhai.

"To build one, the venue is larger, at least there must be a store of more than 1,000 square meters. The decoration is better, so that people feel high-grade at a glance. In the future, as long as Shanghai people want to buy furniture, the first thing that comes to mind is your store. Don't be afraid to spend money, if you don't have enough money, come to me. Li Ya said.

"To open such a large store, the money is definitely not enough, but to open the market, you must open a store, even if it is small, it can be used as a furniture display. The second brother said.

"But now the price of timber has been rising again, and the cost has been increasing. The eldest brother said, "Will I lose money by opening another store?"

"In the past few years, the price of timber was low, and now there is construction everywhere, although the output of timber has increased, but there are more places to use it, and the price will of course rise. Li Ya said, "I have an idea, you go and collect old wood." The pillars and beams that were demolished from the old house can be used, and the price is cheap. ”

Brother Yuanhai's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! We will send someone to buy it and make furniture, and the price will definitely be cheaper than buying a new one." ”

"And you can buy a lot of good wood, such as mahogany, even if you don't use it for the time being, you can use it later. The price of good wood is low now, and everyone will have money in the future, and furniture made of good wood will be sold at a good price. Li Ya smiled, "You can help me buy some good ones, such as red sandalwood, huanghuali, and golden silk nuts, and I will also make some furniture." ”

"We just run a furniture factory, and we still need you to do it? The eldest brother laughed.

"Big brother, you are made by machines, and I want to make it by hand. Li Ya said, "I have learned a lot of carpentry work in the past few years, and my skills are not bad." I made these chairs you sit on, how about it?"

"Huh, I can't see that this chair was made by you? I thought it was an old thing left over from the past. The brothers stood up and looked at it carefully, and said, "This workmanship is very good, and the carvings are also beautiful, so I will make a few sets for us in the future." ”

"How many sets are there to make?" Li Ya said with a smile, "It took me more than two months to complete this set of tables and chairs! So I'm also a person who is up and down a few hundred yuan per minute, how can I have time to make it for you?"

"There are a lot of masters who can make furniture, so we just need to draw the style and ask them to do it. Brother Yuanshan smiled, "It can also be displayed in the store as a treasure of the town store to attract customers." ”

"That's a good idea!" Li Ya said, "There are many companies, especially foreign-funded companies, people are very rich, as long as you make good handmade furniture, people don't care about the price." Anyway, judging from the domestic economic water, people think that it is good quality and cheap. The products of the furniture factory should also be divided into grades, high-end and mid-range resistance must have, as everyone's life is getting better and better, gradually eliminate low-grade furniture, and develop to the middle and high-end. ”

"Of course, although the furniture market is large, but the technical threshold is low, more and more people will enter, and there will be less and less money in the future. Li Ya said.

"I have an idea. The uncle said, "After my restaurant opened a branch, I went to ** to inspect it and found that many people went directly to the supermarket to buy things. I think the supermarket can be done. ”

"What is a supermarket?"

"It's a shopping mall of your choice. Supermarket prices are lower than other stores, and the profit per piece is also low, relying on scale to win. Li Ya said, "This thing already exists in China, but it is not advanced in management and the scale is not large." If the operation and management can keep up and reach a certain scale, the profit is very considerable, and with the first one, the second and third can be opened soon, and it will soon be able to grow and develop. Unlike factories, you have to train talents step by step and develop technology. ”

"I also think it's doable, it sounds better than my hotel. "My hotel at least has to find a suitable chef before it can open, and as long as the staff is trained in a short time, a new one can be opened." ”

The more we discussed, the more feasible we felt, and we changed from opening a furniture store to opening a supermarket.

Shanghai is the largest and best-developed city in China, and the supermarket area is larger and it is not afraid that no one will come, so in the end it was decided to look at the venue and build a supermarket covering an area of two or three thousand square meters.

To tell the truth, two or three thousand square meters will be a small supermarket in a few decades, but now, two or three thousand square meters is one of the largest supermarkets, and it can become famous at once.

Li Ya then came up with an idea, and then waited to pay for it, and he didn't care about the rest, such as going out to investigate, renting a venue, recruiting people, contacting manufacturers, etc.

On October 22nd, the Chung Yeung Festival, it is appropriate to get married, travel, go to Liangliang, and open the market, and the IKEA supermarket officially opened, just four months before the time when the supermarket was opened.

Li Ya and Shu Yue also came, watching the crowd swarming in, and there was a long queue behind them, it seems that the publicity for the opening of the supermarket this time has been very good.

Soon, it attracted several reporters, both newspapers and television stations, fiddling with long guns and short cannons to conduct interviews.

To say that this supermarket is good, spacious and bright, with a wide range of goods, and the price is affordable. Everyone is a working family, and they get a little salary a month, but now when they see that there are discounts for opening, there are discounts on goods that are already cheaper than other stores, and they can save a lot of money, so how can they not buy them?

After all the people in line went in, Li Ya and Shu Yue also went in and turned, and the employees who loaded the goods inside were sweating profusely, there were too many people buying things, and there were a lot of people buying.

The cashier outside was also tired, and Li Ya listened to the cashier who had just been replaced to rest say that his fingers were numb.

Looking at today's appearance, the supermarket is considered a success, and a few cousins don't have to worry about losing money.

A few days after the start of November, Shu Yue experienced mild retching symptoms, which made Li Ya very worried. You must know that the two of them have been in very good health in recent years and have never been sick.

Li Ya hurriedly checked Shu Yue's pulse, and Shu Yue smiled: "It's not that I'm sick, I should have it, and I'm planning to check it out in a few days." "If the one didn't come this month, Shu Yue knew that it should be there, and wanted to surprise Li Ya after the test results came out.

"What's there?" Li Ya was puzzled.

"Of course I have children. Shu Yue smiled, "I didn't come last month." ”

"So I'm going to be a father?" Li Ya didn't know what it was like, he wasn't ready to be a father yet.

The next day, I went to the hospital to line up for a check-up, and the result came out that I was pregnant.

Li Ya called back and told his mother the news of Shu Yue's pregnancy. My mother was pleasantly surprised on the phone, and asked Li Ya to give the phone to Shu Yue, and then explained that Shu Yue should pay attention to what not to eat, what to eat more, and not to be tired, and it took more than half an hour to end the call.
