"Master, when will you take us to see Hong Kong?"

"Yes, master, we've been here for several days, and we haven't been anywhere except here or the construction site!"

On 21 June, the day after the factory was topped out, the three apprentices of the eldest and second uncles, with their apprentices, a total of 26 people, rushed to the special zone from their hometown in Nanbin to join the master and the master's master.

The chairman's nephew and son-in-law explained that the villa decoration must be completed before his mother-in-law, that is, their sister Wu Xiulan, arrived, and even specially invited a designer from Hong Kong.

After finishing the renovation of the factory and office building, Wu Xiufeng and Wu Xiucheng felt a great responsibility, and the apprentices and grandchildren were pulled to the villa as soon as they got off the train and began to decorate day and night.

"Huang Si'er, are you here to work or to play?"

Wu Xiufeng seemed to forget that when he first got off the train, he was also shouting to see Hong Kong, so he stretched out his hand and slapped the back of the sixth apprentice's head, and roared with a beard and glare: "Those who have apprentices, I don't know the severity yet!" If you want to go back for the New Year, just work hard for me, otherwise don't think about any TV or tape recorder! ”

Seeing that the eldest brother's apprentice was still a little emotional, Wu Xiucheng put down the electric drill in his hand and persuaded him step by step: "Isn't this a hurry, Si'er...... Say a few soft words to your master, then go upstairs and work hard, and I'll take you to see it when I have time. ”

The brothers rubbed one by one, and cleaned up these disciples and grandchildren who had never seen the world.

After nailing a few pieces of plywood, Wu Xiufeng had a little backache, straightened up and sighed: "Second child, do you have any young people now, you are too heavy-minded, how can we do whatever our master told us to do at that time, and we didn't dare to put a fart." ”

The second child snorted and said: "Times have changed, or Xiaozhu and Xiaojun would rather work with San'er than learn the craft from you?" ”

"Don't say it, those two boys are really good. I went to the gate in the morning, and when I came back at noon, I went to Huaxing Electronics Factory to learn management, and I had to go to study TV secondary school in the evening. Wenming and Zhang Bing said that by the end of the year at the latest, one of them will be the workshop director and the other will be the supply and marketing staff. It's up to the father, let them go, anyway, it's better than being a carpenter. ”

When he mentioned his son Wu Xiufeng, he was proud, and even his voice was a few decibels, for fear that his disciples and grandchildren would not hear it.

However, it's okay not to show off, as soon as you show off, the apprentices and grandchildren who have already gone to see Hong Kong are even less motivated, and they put down the guys in their hands one by one, and begged with nonsense: "Master, your nephew and son-in-law are such a big boss, and they open such a big factory, and there must be a shortage of workers under them, or you can help me say a few good words, and let me go to the factory like Xiaozhu and Xiaojun." ”

"Master Wu, I have studied in junior high school, can I write and calculate, and I can also help talk about it?"

"And me, I'm not afraid of hardship, no, I can learn like Xiaozhu."

"Learn from your size!"

Wu Xiufeng raised his arm and slapped again, and said with a disdainful face: "I have a few pounds and taels of peeing photos, and I can still write and calculate, if I can write and calculate, you can still be a carpenter?" Besides, if you all go...... Who's going to do the job? ”

One step slower when the charter was pounding cigarettes, and was preempted by the boss. Whenever Wu Xiufeng regarded himself as a hero and a veteran, Wu Xiucheng felt very uncomfortable, making him feel as if he was following behind. In addition, he gave birth to Wu Xiaolian as a girl, but the eldest has two boys, which has always been unhappy, and he wants to make a career with all his strength, so as to raise his eyebrows in front of everyone.

Seeing that the apprentices didn't want to go back to their hometown after finishing their work, he said along the way: "Big brother, I have always had an idea, if this idea can be realized, we will not necessarily be worse than San'er and their juniors." ”

As an uncle, he was called by his nephew and nephew and son-in-law all day long, and he may have to be called by his son in the future. ”

Wu Xiucheng pointed to the woodworking machinery he had just bought from Hong Kong, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Big brother, we are not as good as in our hometown now, you see that these guys are enough to open a furniture factory, and they still need to go back and continue to make coffins, eight immortal tables and chests of drawers?" ”

"Second child, are you saying that we also open factories and furniture factories like children?"

"Even if you open a factory, there are many rules, and you can do something for you. It's better to honestly open a furniture store, an individual industrial and commercial household, do your own sales, and craftsmen do handicraft work, and no one can say anything. ”

Wu Xiufeng's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "This is a good idea, those new furniture sold on the market, in addition to the fancy style, the craftsmanship is not as good as ours." ”

The boss was tempted, Wu Xiucheng was overjoyed, and immediately changed his words: "With so many factories and so many buildings built in the Special Economic Zone, the furniture store will definitely make a lot of money if it is done well." However, in addition to the furniture factory, I also found a way to make money, if our brothers are in charge of each other, it will be difficult to think of underdevelopment in the future! ”

"What other ways to make money?" Wu Xiufeng became more and more interested, and pulled the second child to walk out of the door, for fear of being heard by the disciples and grandchildren.

"Decoration!"

Wu Xiucheng pouted at the villa opposite, and said excitedly: "After finishing work yesterday, I took a turn, and I found that the people who do the decoration work here are not regular units, they are all guerrillas like us. They are capable, we are just as capable, and when the villa is finished, and then the office building and living area in the factory are installed, won't the reputation be played out all of a sudden?

When the time comes, let the chairman help introduce you, aren't all the decoration work of the big boss in Hong Kong ours? The salary is more and it is easy to get, so it is better than going back to your hometown. Of course, even if we don't go back to San'er, they have to support us, but it always feels like eating idle food, which is boring. ”

Opening a furniture store and engaging in decoration projects, Wu Xiufeng suddenly realized that the second child's wings were stiff, and he imagined starting a business like a child.

Thinking of the provincial second construction company Wang Zong because of the calculation of the project money, almost lost all his money, nodded his head, said all the good things, and sent the chairman's son-in-law and Li Xiaoshan to kneel, Wu Xiufeng gasped, and said solemnly: "Second child, I raise my hands in favor of opening a furniture store, but I don't agree to decorate, the risk is too great, we can't afford to pay!" There are no outsiders here, just our brothers, if you have anything to say, the eldest brother will not hide it, if you want to divide the family again, I can let all those guys who work for you to open a store, I will go to the factory to help tinker, anyway, there is our shares, even if it is not ashamed. ”

"Brother, I don't mean to break up, I just see that the decoration is really promising."

Looking at Wu Xiucheng's expectant look, Wu Xiufeng sighed helplessly, and said with a self-deprecating wry smile: "First Xiaozhu, then Xiaojun, not to mention the bunch of rabbit cubs in the house who don't work well, now even you want to fly, why do people become like this when they arrive in the Special Economic Zone?" Forget it, you can do whatever you want, and you can fly wherever you want! ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Xiufeng went in and continued to work without looking back, and the back image suddenly aged by more than ten years.

Brothers, Wu Xiucheng not only knows that he can't do decoration, but also can't even open a furniture store. Thinking of the sentence of separation, my heart suddenly became sour, and it was very unpleasant.

However, words are like water spilled, and once you have made up your mind, you have to act on them.

Wu Xiucheng returned to the villa and did it without saying a word, explained to the apprentices, and began to inquire door to door in the villa area.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and a Hong Kong owner was really moved by him, ran to the villa that had just finished work, and saw that the plum, electricity, bricklayer and equipment were complete, and immediately decided to hand over the work to him.

Just when Wu Xiucheng was ecstatic to receive the first home improvement project in the real sense, the charter, Liu Siwei and Li Xiaoshan were also happy for Huang Li'an, Guo Junru and Sun Xiaoguang, who had just returned from abroad.

“…… If you don't go out to see, I really don't know that the gap is so big, it turns out that those things in our laboratory have already been mass-produced, the chairman, the general manager, and colleagues Zhang, this trip is really eye-opening and beneficial! ”

Several people who went to Europe came back, and even came back with two orders of intent, which made the charter very surprised, looking at the few foreign business cards on the table, and asked curiously: "Lao Guo, how did you find this agent?" ”

Guo Junru put down the cup and introduced it 1510: "After I went, I found that the patent application in West Germany is based on the first-come-first-served principle, which means that as long as we submit the application first, it will be too late for others to submit similar applications." Since I am not afraid of plagiarism, I can do a lot of things, so as soon as I heard that there was an electrician electrical exhibition in Frankfurt, I immediately went over with a sample.

There was definitely no booth, and even if there were, I wouldn't have the money to pay for it. So I found a tailor shop, asked people to sew all the samples onto the suit, and then put them on and stood outside the exhibition hall to meet people and hand out business cards. It's weird and weird, I stood for two days and didn't have the police to take care of it, and then I learned that people thought I was protesting or something, so I turned a blind eye and didn't care as long as I didn't enter the museum to make trouble.

There don't seem to be many people in Germany who know English, and no one talked to me until the afternoon of the next day, and he asked me if I didn't enter the museum, and I told him that he didn't have a booth when he was late, and in fact he didn't, otherwise I wouldn't dare to tell this lie. Later, he told me that he had been to Hong Kong and that China wanted to take back Hong Kong, and he was worried about the future of Hong Kong.

The next thing was easy, and with his help I found the largest distributor of switchgear in Frankfurt, the same Mr. Matthias on the business card. He is very satisfied with our design, workmanship, especially the price positioning, and is willing to order 1,000 pieces to see if there is a market, I can only regret to tell him that the product has not been officially launched......"

Taking cheap flights and staying in the cheapest youth hostel, in addition to the fees he had to pay for patents and certifications, he spent less than $7,000 in total for 28 days of round-trip!

Thinking of a yellow man who had never been abroad, standing alone on the steps outside the exhibition hall, with his suit hanging all over the switch and socket panels, he couldn't help but feel sad and choked up and said: "It's hard, it's really hard this time." Mr. Matthias will give him a reply tomorrow and tell him that we will soon be going to the Federal Republic of Germany for a product presentation. ”

"Haode, I'll call him tomorrow."

As soon as Guo Junru finished speaking, Huang Li'an eagerly introduced: "I haven't met an electrical exhibition in France, and after the matter is done, I will focus on a few peers who produce industrial electrical appliances. With the help of French students, I was allowed to visit a factory specializing in the production of contactors, relays, circuit breakers and limit switches. ”

Liu Siwei and Li Xiaoshan glanced at each other, handed over a cigarette and said with a smile: "Speak slowly, let us also have a long experience." ”

"First of all, in management, we have to learn from others, management forward, the supervisor's office is in the workshop, a very small one, and the supervisor is on the production line most of the time, rarely go back to the office to rest; Secondly, the degree of automation is high, the injection molding workshop automatically feeds and automatically batches, and the shell is directly sent to the assembly workshop by the conveyor belt after it comes out, and is installed by the workers responsible for each process in turn, and it only takes ten minutes to change from raw materials to products......"

Unconsciously, it was almost time to eat, and the charter glanced at his watch and said meaningfully: "A few of you have worked hard this time, first pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, sleep well after eating, and turn the time upside down." We will hold a meeting again when the spirit is sufficient, and all the personnel of the electrical department and the electronics department will participate, and introduce what you have seen and heard to you again, and then discuss in groups to see what advanced experience we can absorb from foreign counterparts and implement it after the factory is delivered. ”
