Chapter 7 Qi Yao shows her skills
"Yao'er! You're good at that! Why didn't I think that the pattern of a piece of furniture can make several grades of wood! In this way, whether it is expensive or cheap, it will be according to the customer's budget! This can increase the number of customers! Gu Shi stood up excitedly and grabbed Qi Yao's arm, "It's just that you said that you will make some money first and then enter the wood, where is there a profitable business, Niang still has some expensive jewelry here, why don't you sell it, and then bring in a few batches of wood?" ”
"Mother, no, it's not good to keep too much wood, and too much capital squeeze is not good for the operation of the shop, and if we want to reverse this loss-making situation, we must first build momentum, and then come up with drawings, and finally enter the wood to create furniture, so there is no hurry to enter the wood." Qi Yao analyzed in a logical manner.
"Yao'er, a few days ago, my mother said that she would hand over the account to you to take care of, but you always shirked it, there is such a good way, why didn't you say it earlier?" Gu's mother looked at her daughter-in-law with some confusion, although she was as well-behaved and docile as ever, she always felt that this daughter-in-law seemed to be a different person since she was immersed in the pig cage yesterday.
It's become more courageous-
"I-" Qi Yao's tongue was knotted, and she paused before she said, "My father has always taught me to do things safely, haven't I been thinking about it these past few months?" If I hadn't thought of a safe way, I wouldn't have dared to hold it up. ”
Qi Yao said, and quickly changed the topic: "Master Xiaojiang, Master Xiaohe, what kind of wood is used in the shop now, tell me first, I can analyze it, divide it into several grades, let's write it down while talking." ”
Seeing Qi Yao's posture, Xiao Jiang Xiaohe seemed to have some ability, so he hurriedly moved a small stool and began to introduce her: "Now the furniture on the market is made of precious wood such as rosewood, sour branch wood, yellow rosewood, wenge wood, followed by rosewood, teak, walnut, oak, ash, yellow pineapple, elm, maple, birch, camphor wood, pine, poplar, fir and so on. ”
Qi Yao nodded and said: "The first few belong to mahogany, the wood is heavy, with aroma, the material is hard, the strength is high, the wear resistance, and the durability is good, but the output of these woods is not much, and it is too heavy, it is not conducive to handling, and it is easy to wear and tear. ”
Xiao Jiang Xiaohe just said that, I don't want Qi Yao to really understand wood, and the analysis is also in place!
"Let's talk about teak, teak is hard, very shiny, odorless, corrosion-resistant and termite-resistant, it is a good wood, what is the price of this teak now? If it is not high, it can be used as the main raw material of high-end furniture, and walnut is also good, no deformation, no cracking, no peculiar smell, moderate softness and hardness, and easy to process. Qi Yao said again.
"This teak and walnut are not expensive, but the average rich and noble family has to use red sandalwood, in fact, where there are so many red sandalwood, nine times out of ten are fake!" Gu's mother sighed, "We use teak and walnut, will it be downgrade?" ”
"Mother, grade, in fact, it is not only determined by the wood, but also the style and craftsmanship and later maintenance, these can cause the grade, don't worry, look at me, I will never spend a penny on you, if you want to enter the wood, I will earn the money first." Qi Yao swore an oath.
Qi Yao discussed the wood with Xiaojiang Xiaohe again, and finally divided the grades, the special party only used mahogany, high-end furniture with teak and walnut, medium with oak, elm, maple, affordable grade with poplar, fir, pine, and camphor.
Seeing that they were discussing energetically, Gu's mother couldn't interject again, so she couldn't hold back her stomach and eat a stomach full of dumplings.
In the end, after Qi Yao handed the written booklet to Xiao Jiang to read, she finally couldn't bear it, stood up, and said to Qi Yao: "That, Yao'er, what is the business you just said about making money and making profits without capital?" Tell my mother quickly, my mother is panicking. ”
Qi Yao saw that everyone was scratching their hearts and lungs, and they didn't sell it anymore, so she pointed to the warehouse in the backyard of the shop and said: "This method is very simple, it is to turn waste into treasure, I just slipped around, and saw that there are many discarded wood bulk materials in the warehouse, these woods, I can make it into all kinds of gadgets, and then sell it." ”
Those waste materials, in addition to doing some repairs, are to be used as firewood, if Qi Yao can really sell them, isn't it profitable?
Gu's mother was a little incredulous, and said, "Can you really sell it?" What is it made of? ”
Qi Yao sold a pass at this time and said, "I'll go home and draw drawings, as for what it will be, my mother will know tomorrow." ”
This carpenter's shop will be the main reliance of her and her children in the future, if there is no financial source, she will definitely be unable to move an inch in this ancient period, so Qi Yao is also very concerned, and when she went back, she specially asked Gu to buy her pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let her take it home to draw drawings.
Qi Yao returned home, went into the room, and was about to start drawing drawings, however, she found that the peaches on her desktop had been replaced by a bunch of sweet and sour mangoes.
This, there is only Aunt Chen in the family, presumably Aunt Chen put it for her.
Qi Yao came back from walking, her throat was dry, and she just peeled one to eat.
Well, sweet, this ancient naturally ripe mango is different, especially moisturizing and sweet.
After she finished eating a mango, she wiped her hands and began to draw drawings.
The ones she wants to make out of loose materials are the best-selling wooden toys of modern times.
Riding rocking horses, baby strollers, and miniature versions of tables and chairs, now in this Jokhang Kingdom, tables and chairs are all high-legged, and there are no such things as small benches and low tables, so Qi Yao specially designed small square tables and small benches.
Then, she also drew Rubik's cubes, chess toys, building blocks, puzzles, etc.
But during pregnancy, Qi Yao was extremely sleepy, and after only drawing a dozen pictures, she became sleepy and couldn't help but fall asleep on the table.
The man who had been hiding in the tall tree and secretly observing Qi Yao couldn't help frowning again when he saw her like this.
He thought that Qi Yao was just tired of painting, so he rested on his stomach, who would have thought that after she lay down, she didn't get up for a long time.
Is something wrong? His heart thumped.
He has been guarding the Gu family day and night, if something happens to her again-
His heart tightened, and he flew from the tree to her window, leaping in with agility and agility. He anxiously reached out to probe Qi Yao's snort, and his fingertips were warm and evenly breathing.
It's okay. He was a little embarrassed at the moment, feeling that he was too nervous, so he hooked the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and then took a thin quilt from the bed and wrapped it around her.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a stack of design drawings pressed by books on the table.
He was curious in his heart, and flipped through it, but the bottom of his heart, which was originally calm, set off turbulent waves.
