Chapter 337: Woodworking Workshop

Zhang San originally had a furniture workshop, but it was only a scattered furniture manufacturing, and now since he wants to engage in large-scale furniture, it is not suitable to call it a furniture workshop, Zhang San simply merged those who made wooden chess pieces and furniture makers to form a wood workshop.

Zhang San planned to put this workshop in the Tokyo shipyard, so that wooden boats as small as a wooden hairpin and as large as one or two thousand stones could be made in the wood workshop, and the shipyard had a special workshop for baking wood, so that the production of wheels would not have to start from scratch.

Carriages, carriages, wheelbarrows and other cars are also an important kind of wooden furniture in ancient times, Zhang San remembered which book wrote, inventing a four-wheeled carriage to make a fortune, Zhang San did not think that the traffic conditions of the Great Song Dynasty could run the four-wheeled carriage, and the problem of springs and bearings could not be solved, and the four-wheeled carriage was not much more advanced than the two-wheeled one.

What's more, the reason why four-wheeled carriages are popular in Europe is also because Europe has excellent horses, and the Great Song Dynasty does not say that even an excellent war horse is scarce, and the Great Song Dynasty's ploughing horse-drawn strength is limited, and it can't pull a load-loaded four-wheeled carriage at all.

However, this does not affect Zhang San's manufacture of carriages, if the technology is not advanced, then improve efficiency and reduce the price, so that he can still seize a large market, such a business is also a technology industry, at least it will not rob those farmers of their jobs.

For example, the princess made straw sandals, rattan baskets, and reed mats, all of which the peasants did in their spare time, planning to buy some necessities for two pocket money, and if you produce one more, people will sell one less, and if you produce ten more, people will not have enough money to eat salt for a year.

Zhang San told Qian Jin about his thoughts, Qian Jin nodded after listening to it and said that he knew, Zhang San asked him about the department store plan, Qian Jin said happily, first plan to open one in the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple on the edge of Yixing Hutchison, and then open one in the southeast of the city, try to open four more next month if the effect is good.

Zhang San asked what goods he planned to sell, and how were the preparations? Qian Jin said happily that in addition to the things he produced, Qian Jin also planned to contact some other goods to sell together at that time, so as to ensure that every store would meet the requirements of Zhang San, and all the necessities of life would be available.

Zhang San looked at him full of confidence, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, think about it, forget it, Qian Jin's work is still reassuring to Zhang San in general, if he lets him slow down his progress, won't he seem to have no courage?

Zhang San told him about the perfume, and Zhang San planned to set up a counter for the perfume to be sold in the department store, so that the department store would be equivalent to having the treasure of the town store, and the grade would be improved instantly.

It's just that Qian Jin frowned after listening to Zhang San's words, Qian Jin thought about it and said, "Third brother, I think it's better not to put this perfume in a department store." ”

Zhang Sanyi was stunned and asked, "Oh? Tell us what you think? ”

Qian Jin straightened up and said: "Third brother, I think first of all, our department store sells daily necessities, and all the people who come are from the lower riba, and the perfumes depicted by the third brother are all for the ladies and ladies of rich families, and such people will not go to department stores." ”

Zhang San immediately understood that this was indeed a random idea for himself, but not selling it in a department store and building a store by himself would undoubtedly increase the corresponding cost of building a store, and wouldn't the new store have to be advertised again?

Qian Jin saw that Zhang San was deep in thought, and he should have listened to his own words, so he continued: "Third brother, in fact, we can put this perfume in those rouge gouache shops to sell, as long as they are given enough profits, these people will be willing to sell our perfume." ”

Zhang Sanyi listened, yes! This is indeed the truth, why do you keep thinking about your own direct sales, isn't it good to wholesale to others like this? Although some of the profits are ceded, it is more conducive to sales.

These rouge gouache shops have regular customers, and they don't have to open up the market on their own, and there is a certain competition between perfume and their rouge gouache, and opening a separate store may cause their hatred.

But if they were to sell it together, the problem would be gone, and the perfume would be at best a novelty gouache, and these people would not regard the perfume producer as an enemy, but as a god of wealth.

Zhang San said with satisfaction: "Qian Jin, your idea is good, then when your fourth brother's production is on the right track, it is expected that perfume will be produced in a month, and then you will have to bother to sell perfume." ”

Qian Jin saw that Zhang San had listened to his suggestion, and said happily: "Third brother, I still have something to discuss with the third brother." ”

Zhang San listened carefully, Qian Jin thought about it and said: "When the third brother first recruited us to help sell thirteen incense, now some of these people involved in selling spices have done business in other state capitals, and some have changed careers to do other things, I want to ask the third brother how to deal with these people in the future?" ”

Zhang San asked strangely, "Why do you want to deal with it?" Aren't they selling very well now? ”

Qian Jin said anxiously: "But third brother, our next step is to start opening branches in various state capitals, and these people are selling other things in addition to acting as agents for our spices, so I'm afraid there will be conflicts in the future, right?" ”

Zhang San thought about it and shook his head and said: "That being said, we can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, Sixteen incense can have today's sales, and you can run out little by little with two legs, as long as they are still willing to sell, we can't easily stop supplying them." ”

Zhang San saw that Qian Jin was about to say more, so he waved his hand and said: "We may only be able to take care of some prosperous state capitals in a few years, but there is still a large market for them to sell in the counties and towns under each state capital." Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty can't sell it, and they can still sell it to foreign countries. ”

Seeing Zhang San's insistence, Qian Jin stopped dwelling on this issue, thought about it and said: "Then the third brother, there are two or three brothers who used to work alone and now want to join our Yixing Hutchison, I don't know if this is the case, can we accept it?" ”

Zhang San asked, "Oh? What about the ability? ”

Qian Jin thought about it and said: "I remember that they once also got the first sales in a certain month. ”

Zhang San turned around twice and asked, "Why did they join us?" ”

Qian Jin shook his head and sighed: "They are alone outside, or they are harassed by local ruffians, or they are exploited by government officials and tax collectors, in short, after earning money up and down, they can fall into their own hands not much more than one of our shopkeepers, and they have to be afraid." ”
