Chapter 63 Furniture Factory Positioning
The controversy did not stop because of Liu He's arrival, others said hello to Liu He, or nodded, and then joined the argument again, but there was a trend of getting more and more intense, they were all masters, they all had their own ideas and persistence, and no one could convince anyone in a short time.

Seeing that he couldn't stop for a while, Liu He simply turned around in the workshop.
The wood used to make tables, chairs and benches is cedar trees, and people in mountain cities are used to calling it sand trees, which originate from the many mountains and forests of the Zhongliang Mountains, Yunzhuan Mountains and Jinyun Mountains.
Sand tree wood straight and rapid growth, is an important tree species for mountain greening, excellent material, wood yellow-white, sometimes heartwood with light reddish brown, aroma, the material is moderately soft and hard, the texture is straight, easy to process, more corrosion-resistant, for construction, bridges and other wide uses.
In addition to the above characteristics, its heartwood, branches, roots, bark, leaves, seeds, and oil can be used in medicine; The bark, roots and leaves can dispel wind and dampness, astringent and stop bleeding; The seeds contain about 20% oil and are used to make soap.
Due to its many uses, the sand tree is known as the all-purpose tree.
The sand trees in the mountains of the mountain city are planted after the special era, Liu He was just born at that time, these trees are very cheap, no matter how barren the soil is after more than ten years of growth, they can almost become trees, the diameter and length of the trunk are forty or fifty centimeters, and the small ones are more than twenty centimeters.
In the workshop, the sand trees are cut into plates with a thickness of several centimeters to many centimeters according to the needs of processing furniture, and then they are also cut into lengths according to the proportion of furniture, and then these semi-finished products will be sorted by employees and put to the next process.
Then there is the selection, and some of the lumpy or moth-eaten wood in the sand tree will be all removed, and then it is the turn to intercept, shape, and polish the qualified wood sections again.
For example, the processing process of making wooden tables and chairs is very simple, and after a little shaping and polishing, various sizes and lengths of wood begin to drill holes, and finally the rest is assembly, and after the assembly is completed, it is a finished product.
If the informal manufacturer completes this step, the assembled furniture can be put directly into the market.
However, the lark furniture will be a company that wants to break into the industry and take the brand route, Liu He told Liu Kaiming in advance that before leaving the factory, the product quality must be inspected again, and some defective products will be screened out, and all the problems of the furniture can be solved before they can be sold.
At present, the wooden tables and chairs produced by the furniture factory are for the low-level rural people, if it is for the high-consumption group, to make high-grade furniture, then not only the product must be novel and stylish, but also after all the wood is assembled into a finished product, it is necessary to polish, wax and paint, and the process will be much more complicated.
There are only a few hundred square meters of workshop, even if it is a stop-and-go shop, it does not take much time to complete.
Finally, Liu He came to the corner of the workshop, which was divided into a small room with a few tables, which seemed to be a resting place for Liu Kaiming and other workers.
Liu He walked in with novelty, a few very large pieces of paper on the table, it was estimated that it should be 32 open, and on it were the standard drawings of some furniture, but I didn't expect my father and Uncle Tan to do it quite professionally.
However, what made Liu He complain was that the furniture form on the drawings was too traditional, and it was not that it was bad, because some of the dining tables on the drawings were also carved with patterns, and they were very beautiful, but before the lark furniture was not famous, making these furniture not only could not be sold at a high price, but also took time and labor, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.
At present, the problem faced by Skylark furniture is positioning, if it has been doing low-end furniture, then it will affect the brand of furniture to a large extent in the future, and want to seize the high-end market, and there is not so strong strength to do publicity and promotion, advertising on the radio and so on.
Therefore, Liu He chose to go to the mid-end consumer market, with the mountain city becoming a municipality directly under the central government, the economic development has been rapid in recent years, whether it is a rural city to install a new house and buy new furniture, if there are a few fashionable, so that some petty bourgeoisie can lightly pretend to be forced furniture I am afraid that this kind of people will be very willing to pay money.
Thinking of this, Liu He suddenly thought of a must-buy furniture for the decoration of a new house in the early 21st century, that is, a long table, the workmanship is not complicated, the style can be varied, and the price is not cheap at all with a full set of six chairs.
Maybe other manufacturers will definitely follow suit in the future, but Liu He still decided to drink that oral soup.
After pondering for a while, Liu He picked up the pencil on the table and drew on the thirty-two open white paper, fortunately, he had done a technician's job in his previous life when he was a salesman for automobiles and motorcycles, and the level of drawing had not yet fallen.
In a short time, several of the popular long table graphics appeared on the paper, and there were also a few matching chair drawings.
At this time, a voice interrupted the self-absorbed Liu He: "He Wa, it turns out that you are here, now come with me to dinner!" ”
"Dad, you're finally done discussing, who loses and who wins?" Liu He asked jokingly.
Liu Kaiming sighed: "I'm afraid there will be no result for a while, my final idea is to make traditional furniture, and go to the coastal city to invite a few furniture factory masters, I heard that the furniture factory over there makes good furniture styles, we have to be the first to do those furniture in the mainland, I believe there will be a market." ”
I didn't expect Liu Kaiming's idea to be more avant-garde, and he could think of hiring a master from the coastal furniture factory, although he would definitely pay a high salary, and others may not agree, but once he invited the master who innovated in the coastal furniture factory, even if he paid a certain amount of furniture factory dividends, it was worth it.
"Dad, how could you have such a plan?"
Liu Kaiming smiled: "After you gave me the idea to set up a furniture factory, I asked Kaiqing and Kailin, as well as people who went out to work in the same village, and they all suggested that I should make new styles of furniture, the old traditional furniture is not easy to sell, this is not from before the factory I was trying to persuade Lao Tan to them, but they can't accept it for the time being without seeing the good of new furniture." ”
"Ah, you've done so much homework, huh?" The honest father really surprised Liu He.
"Nonsense, you can't mess up such a big thing as opening a furniture factory, can I not ask more." Liu Kaiming glared and said seriously: "By the way, didn't Kaiqing Fish Farming borrow 10,000 yuan from my family, he knew that we were short of money to open a furniture factory, so he wanted to return the loan money to us." ”
Seeing Liu He listening to the other party, he continued: "Everyone is cousins, how can I take it at such a critical time, but Kaiqing's personality is twisted, and when he sees that I don't take it, he says that the river he contracted is half of my two people, and if I don't do anything, I will earn half of the money I earn in the future, you say ......"
Liu He Moran, Uncle Liu Kaiqingtang is still the same upright and righteous character, the same as in the previous life.
Next year, the Yangtze River basin will encounter a catastrophic flood, and whether the built embankments can withstand the monstrous floods will be a huge question mark.
"It's okay, but we can't take half of the shares if we don't do anything, otherwise it will be unfair to Uncle Kaiqingtang, and we will be gossiped about by the villagers."
"Well, I'm pretty much what you thought, so let's do it." Liu Kaiming made a decision.
