Chapter 182: Preparations for Engagement
The nervous college entrance examination of thousands of parents has finally passed, and all that remains is to wait for the scores to be announced, and after Wu Ting's college entrance examination is nervous, the next big thing for the Wu family is to prepare for Wu Dao's wedding banquet. Although this is just an engagement and not a marriage, Wu Dao's parents are still cautious to prepare the corresponding things for him.
Considering that when the engagement was made, the bamboo building looked a little out of class, so the Wu family planned to prepare a room for Wu Dao in the old mansion. But in Wu Dao's view, there is no need for this at all, it is just an engagement and not a marriage. And about the house for marriage, Wu Dao has already built a feng shui treasure land in Shuangshengling. After the decoration is completed, you can move in and move in.
The three-story building, built on an inclined plane at the top of the mountain, directly exceeded the height of the mountain when it reached the top of the three-story building. Standing on the large viewing platform on the third floor, you can see the scenery of the Twin Ridges. This is a viewing spot specially selected by Wu Dao for the exclusive viewing point. Unlike several other viewpoints built along the mountains, this is his own private space.
Regarding the decoration of this villa, Wu Dao also fully considered Xu Yiyi's opinions, so in the matter of the marriage room, Wu Dao still did not agree to let his family build another room in the old mansion. When he cut the golden silk nan tree from the primeval forest, find a reliable furniture factory to help order, a complete set of all golden silk nan wood furniture, I believe it will also be very tasteful!
Seeing that Wu Dao and Xu Yiyi did not agree to spend another room to decorate another room, Wu Dao's parents had no choice but to give up. As for Wu Dao's family to the Twin Mountains, they really couldn't understand why the young man's thoughts were like this. But thinking that since the villas have been built, it is undoubtedly not good to waste them.
Therefore, Wu Dong also told Wu Dao that he had recently spent more time decorating the villa beautifully. The next time Xu Yiyi's relatives come over, at least the face will be better. Besides, their family is not short of money now, if they are reluctant to build a house for their son, people who don't know the situation will feel that the Wu Taoist family does not pay attention to Xu Yiyi.
In fact, for Xu Yiyi's parents, they really don't care about this, but Wu Dao's parents don't want to treat Xu Yiyi badly, so that others think that she can only live in a bamboo building if she marries Wu Dao, and she doesn't even have a house. Even if others don't say it, they will feel sorry for it, so with the end of Wu Ting's college entrance examination, Wu Dong urged Wu Dao to quickly decorate the house. In addition, buy some furniture or something, and fill the villa that will soon become a wedding room.
Parents have lives, how dare Wu Dao disobey!
In view of the fact that the little sister also finished the college entrance examination and was ready to go outside to enjoy the feeling of freedom, Wu Dao sent her and Xu Yiyi to the provincial capital. Let this sister, who is also keen on charity, accompany Xu Yiyi to screen the information of college entrance examination candidates collected from various schools in Hanjiang to determine the first batch of recipients of assistance.
As for the office of the charity foundation, it is arranged in the same business building as the headquarters of the Taoyuan company in the provincial capital, and it is easy to discuss anything with Wu Kun, who is the general manager of the company.
As Taoyuan's reputation in the Han River is getting bigger and bigger, the market is almost saturated, and Hanjiang Province has also entered a maintenance period, and Chen Dong, as the sales director, has recently started to develop the market in the surrounding provinces. It is planned to further expand the brand of fairy vegetables. So much so that recently, Wu Kun has recruited a lot of office staff in the Hanjiang Talent Market.
When Wu Dao brought Xu Yiyi and Wu Ting to the company, he found that the company had invisibly grown to a scale of nearly 100 people. Many newly recruited employees don't know that this boy who has a good conversation with the general manager is the boss behind the company.
According to Wu Dao's previous requirements, in addition to some important jobs and recruiting some experienced store managers, more of the staff are fresh graduates with passion and fresh graduates. Some jobs that do not require technical content also recruit some laid-off workers in the provincial capitals who are in difficulty. In short, Wu Dao needs the company to create some human value while creating profit value.
When he came to the office rented by Wu Kun for the foundation, Wu Dao also felt that it was a little too atmospheric, but he thought that it would be Xu Yiyi who would work here in the future, and the officials and wives of retired veteran cadres in some provincial cities would often come here. If the conditions are too poor, there is no doubt that some cannot be justified.
In addition to Xu Yiyi, the chairman, the foundation also recruited two female students who had just graduated from university, and their main job was to assist Xu Yiyi in handling the foundation and liaising with students in major schools. In addition to these two assistants, Wu Dao needs to be hired on a salary, and a group of consultants hired by the foundation are not light, and the bride price is a three-fold shopping card for a directly operated store.
After learning that these fairy vegetables, which I can't forget after eating, were planted by Xu Shuren's grandson-in-law, the official wives who usually have a good relationship with Mrs. Xu naturally strongly asked to give them preferential treatment. Although these officials and wives are not short of these money, they donate money many times because they are usually keen on charity. So much so that they are all like Mrs. Xu, and they seem to be a little careful when buying this kind of dish.
In view of the love of these elderly people for fairy vegetables, and the foundation will carry out public welfare undertakings in the Han River in the future, Wu Dao made an exception for the first time for Wu Kun to make a batch of three-fold shopping cards for these old ladies. In this way, the price of vegetables they buy in the store in the future can basically be the same as that of vegetables in the vegetable market. This is also an exclusive privilege for these honorary advisors.
Knowing that Wu Dao took out 10 million yuan from the company's profits for public welfare for the first time, these old ladies' favorability towards Taoyuan Company has also increased a lot. It's no longer the same as before, every time I go to a directly managed store to buy groceries and pay the bill, I will complain that the price of the things in the store is too high.
The pair of sisters-in-law, who have been close to each other recently, stayed here to adapt to the environment, and Wu Dao drove to the Longfeng Hotel, ready to find Ma Pang to ask about customizing furniture. Such a large golden silk nanmu blank, if it appears in the market, it will definitely attract the attention of others. Especially in the past two years, the golden silk nanmu market has been bullish.
Many of the old Nanmu furniture in the early years are now priceless, not to mention the Nanmu blank that has grown for more than 100 years stored in the Wu Daoyu Spirit Pearl! The appearance of such rough wood in the market is enough to cause a sensation, and Wu Dao does not want to attract the attention of the outside world because he makes a piece of furniture.
When he came to the Dragon and Phoenix Hotel, Ma Pang was already waiting for him upstairs. On the previous trip to Caiyun, Ma Gongxun was rescued. In this regard, the three parents of the Ma family at that time all called to thank them. Only this dead fat man called Wu Dao to tell him that although he and Ma Gongxun were cousins, they had their own friends, and they didn't want to be a generation shorter when they saw Wu Dao in the future.
Thinking about it, Wu Dao acquiesced to the fact that Ma Gongxun was his disciple. If it is really divided according to generation, the fat man is undoubtedly one level shorter than Wu Dao. He's a fat guy who does so cool, how can he accept something that is a generation shorter!
After the previous dispute with the Du family ended, the fat man also kept the agreement and bought a beetle for Wu Dao's cousin. Of course, after what happened last time, Ma Dingyue was transferred to Xiangnan some time ago, and he was not attacked by the Du family. Now in the position of provincial governor, the work is still carried out relatively smoothly.
Knowing that Wu Dao wanted to find his own help and find a company to customize furniture, Ma Gongcheng said curiously: "You kid is not short of that amount of money now, why don't you just buy some high-end furniture?" Why do you need to find a company to help you customize those ordinary furniture such as screens, tables, chairs and benches? ”
Wu Dao smiled and said, "That's because the furniture I need can't be bought with money on the market." Dead fatty, don't ask so much, you just need to find a furniture factory for me to make some old furniture. I provided the timber myself, and asked for the same as before, and took over my business. Just build the furniture for me, and nothing else can be revealed to the outside world. ”
These words made Ma Gongcheng more and more curious: "I said that you guy, are you addicted to secrecy?" Is it just to find someone to make furniture, as for doing it as secret as a state secret? Could it be that you kid got a golden silk nanmu, a small red sandalwood or a superb wood like huanghuali, and you don't want others to know? ”
Originally, it was just a joke, but Ma Gongcheng saw Wu Dao and glanced at him with some surprise, as if he acquiesced in his guess. Suddenly his face was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't tell me, you kid really got the wood to build a whole set of these furniture, is it really the wood I just mentioned?" Where did you get it from? It's hard to find even old stuff these days, so you can't really get a whole set, can you? ”
Seeing that this guy was coming again, Wu Dao pretended to be a little angry and said, "Fatty, why is it so difficult for you to help find someone, don't you kid want the things on my farm?" You know, after a while, the bayberry in my forest will be ripe. When the time comes, don't be afraid that I will sell all of them in the directly operated stores, and I won't sell you a single one! ”
Ma Gongcheng didn't seem to care about this threat, but said mysteriously: "Brother, tell me something, what kind of wood did you get?" If that's what I just said, how about making a set for my brother too? I can't afford a set, so it should be okay to make me a boss chair, right? Furniture made of wood can be used for heirlooms! How about a gift you give to your future nephew? ”
Faced with this guy's nagging, Wu Dao really wanted to knock him away with one punch. Perhaps it was because he realized that Wu Dao was really a little impatient, and he wanted to find Ma Gongcheng, who made all the precious wood as the boss's chair, so he wisely closed his mouth. Anyway, in his opinion, if Wu Dao can really find such precious wood to make furniture, I believe there should be no shortage of wood for him to make a boss chair!
