【050】Black-hearted merchant

After receiving Mr. Liu's request, Zhou Yi was not surprised, after this series of actions, Mr. Liu's carpentry workshop productivity has finally reached the limit, and it is impossible to urgently expand production according to the current situation.

The two discussed in a room on the second floor of the woodwork workshop that Mr. Liu belonged to.

"Hengzhi, we now have a total of twenty-seven people in the entire woodcraft workshop, and we can produce seven wheelchairs and a pair of mahjong every day, if others come to my point to pick up the work, I can't do anything, what do you say about this?" Mr. Liu said worriedly, of course, it is fortunate that the business is good, but now that the business is too good, it is troublesome, and no one else can come to buy things and still have no goods.

Zhou Yi was not surprised in his heart, it seems that the effect of this wheelchair is really beyond expectations, mahjong is a fine work, and it takes a long time to be able to do it, so the output cannot be high, the wheelchair has become the main business of the woodcraft workshop now, if there are other tables, chairs and benches business, then I can only say sorry. Zhou Yi had actually expected this to happen, after all, the number of people in the woodsmith workshop was limited, and the introduction of new products too quickly would inevitably face the problem of lack of manpower, but he did not expect this day to come so quickly.

"Mr. Liu, it seems that the woodsmith workshop should make a lot of money during this time." Zhou Yi did not directly answer Mr. Liu's words, but asked like this.

Mr. Liu was a little confused by his words, and he didn't know why he said this, staring at Zhou Yi's face to see what clues, but found that Zhou Yi was expressionless.

"Why do you ask? Yes, thanks to you, the amount of money earned during this period is already the amount of last year. Mr. Liu said that if it does not involve a specific amount of profits, it should not be regarded as a trade secret, and it is okay to say it.

Zhou Yi said: "Actually, a long, long time ago, I pinched my fingers and knew that Mr. Liu, you will definitely face this problem one day, do you believe it or not?" ”

Mr. Liu was startled, then looked at the playful look on his face, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you actually played me, if you can really pinch your fingers, then how can others live." Seriously, do you have a way? ”

"Of course there is, I said, I thought for a long time, you can use the OEM production method, so that even if your business is ten times hotter, you can cope with it." Zhou Yi said triumphantly.

"OEM?" It was the first time Mr. Liu had heard this term, and he couldn't help but repeat it.

"That's right, it's OEM, think about it, a group of people specialize in cutting and polishing mahjong, and make a small square out, it doesn't take much exquisite skills, right? Even wheelchairs, for example, cutting a few large parts, and your doors and windows, making wooden strips, it's not a complicated thing, right? You can leave it to someone else, and I'm sure it doesn't cost a lot of money, and any woodsmith can do it. All things are the same, the lower the technology, the lower the price. Zhou Yi said.

Mr. Liu seemed to have some understanding, but he was still a little unsure, he said: "That's right, for example, the foot of the table, it will cost more than 30 yuan to do a thing." But does this have anything to do with the foundry you are talking about? ”

"Of course it has a relationship, think about it, someone helped you polish the mahjong first, and the wooden board was done, then your job is just carving on the mahjong and putting the wooden board together, is the work much easier? And then isn't it much faster? And for these, you only need to pay a small price, which is simply insignificant compared to your labor costs. Zhou Yi said frankly.

Mr. Liu thought about it carefully, and immediately understood the key, and couldn't help laughing, he patted Zhou Yi's shoulder affectionately and said: "Hengzhi, Hengzhi, why did you suddenly think of such a wonderful way, what an OEM, this is invisibly adding a lot of hands to me." Yes, if we leave some of the preliminary work to others, then our work will be much easier and the production of products will be much faster. I really didn't expect that I couldn't solve the problem that I couldn't solve all night last night, and a few words from you made me pause. ”

"I didn't think about it for a shorter time than you thought, I just thought about it earlier, so I didn't have to put gold on my face. I have already said the method, I believe that with Mr. Liu's connections, it is not difficult to find a workshop like this. Zhou Yi said.

Mr. Liu said proudly: "Of course, I have been in this Qingshen County for decades. ”

Zhou Yi stood up and said: "Well, that's good, I believe you will definitely have a way, I hope that your business will flourish in the future." ”

"Haha, when did you learn to say such a scene? Oh yes, I suddenly remembered something now, what if someone else did the same thing as me? For example, wheelchairs, for example, mahjong? Mr. Liu changed his words and raised another serious question.

Isn't that piracy? Since the emergence of genuine copies, piracy has also appeared, which is impossible to eliminate, and the existence of interests will make some people frantic and take risks, which is not unusual.

Even if the imperial court estimates this, there is no way to put an end to it, let alone Zhou Yi, but it is better to comfort and comfort Mr. Liu. He said, "We don't have to be afraid of this, only we can make these things now, and you don't forget." Each of our mahjong games, every wheelchair, has the words made by Daguan Group, and now these six words have long been known along with our goods. Didn't I tell you before? This is brand recognition, to let everyone know that only things with the words "Daguan Group" are the most authentic. ”

"Oh." Mr. Liu responded, and then said, "Okay, that's okay, you can go on your way." ”

Zhou Yi returned home, and before he could sit down, Zhang Zhong had already rushed in, and when he saw Zhou Yi, it was as if he had seen a great savior, and shouted loudly without any scruples: "Hengzhi, Hengzhi, I finally found you, I just sent someone to make you pounce." ”

"What's the matter? What can make the elegant and indifferent Brother Boya excited like this? Could it be that you have fallen in love with a great beauty who has fallen in love with the country and the city? Zhou Yi joked with a smile.

Zhang Zhong looked at the guests around, grabbed Zhou Yi's hand and walked back: "Something's wrong, something big." ”

The two entered the study, and Zhou Yi also felt that something was wrong, otherwise Zhang Zhong would not have been like this. "What the hell is going on? Speak slowly, look at what makes you anxious, even if the sky falls, there are no taller people than you? ”

"My fairy brew has been transferred, and now the people in the inn are still making trouble in my winery, do you think I can not be in a hurry?" Zhang Zhong frowned and said quickly, his forehead was already covered with sweat, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Zhou Yi was also stunned and said, "Didn't you produce this immortal brew and sell it yourself?" How can someone transfer it? Could it be that someone is guarding and stealing, and there is a mole in your wine shop? ”

"It's impossible, the workers in the winery are all family disciples, how can they be their own family." As soon as Zhang Zhong heard this, he immediately denied Zhou Yi's speculation, in his opinion, how could someone in his family do such a thing?

Since he said so, it is not good for Zhou Yi to continue to pursue on this road, and said: "Okay, then you tell me to see what happened, so that I can judge." ”

"Here's the thing, after a period of operation, the fairy brew has also opened up the market, and we have signed long-term supply contracts with several inns and taverns. This morning, I still sent someone to the Seven Star Tavern to deliver the fairy brew, but the delivery man said that on the way, his head was suddenly knocked out by something that fell, and when he woke up, he found that the wine was still there, and he didn't notice anything abnormal, so he could only consider himself unlucky. After sending the wine over, there were guests there to buy wine, and it turned out that it was not the right taste, and the tavern checked it one by one, and found that the taste of this batch of wine was very bad. Zhang Zhong said, he felt very wronged, obviously his own people encountered flying disasters, why did he become a black-hearted businessman?

Zhou Yi asked, "Do you send wine to one person?" ”

"yes, what's wrong? It's just fifty bottles, just a car. Zhang Zhong asked rhetorically, is it possible to let this little wine still need someone to escort it?

Zhou Yi felt that he seemed to know a little bit, and he said: "Okay, what about the wine, I mean those fake wines, are there any of them now?" ”

"Yes, they all went to me, saying that they wanted me to compensate them for their losses and to cancel the cooperative relationship with me." Zhang Zhong said.

"Then let's go to the brewery."

The two soon arrived at the winery, and at this time, because of this incident, the winery was already surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three floors. Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong finally squeezed in, and when everyone saw Zhang Zhong, they immediately shouted loudly, and the scene was a little uncontrollable.

Zhou Yi couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "Why are there so many people?" Isn't it supposed to be the only one in that tavern? ”

Zhang Zhong didn't know why, he said, "There weren't so many people when I went to your place." ”

Zhou Yi involuntarily touched the beard on his chin that had not yet appeared, and said meaningfully: "It seems that this matter is premeditated, think about it, what is the chance that you will be knocked on the head and fainted directly when you are walking on the road?" ”

"This ...... I haven't encountered it. Zhang Zhong honestly said that he didn't understand why Zhou Yi would ask such a question.

The two of them came to the courtyard and looked at the workers who were working, and Zhou Yi asked, "Who went to deliver the wine this morning?" ”
