Chapter 106 Bamboo Products (3)
With a faint look of disappointment, Liu Peng left outside, and suddenly a young male voice behind him sounded. "Please stay this gentleman!"
With suspicion, Liu Peng turned around and looked back, only to see a neatly dressed twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man looking at himself with a smile, a square light blue "color" short sleeve, although the weather was very hot, but he was still wearing a black "color" tie, short sleeves copied in a pair of black "color" trousers, a pair of black "color" pointed leather shoes on his feet, looking at this neatly dressed person, I guessed in my heart, is it the boss here? Liu Peng couldn't help but ask, "Did you call me something?" ”
The young man walked forward, took out a business card from his chest pocket, handed it to Liu Peng, and said, "Sir, I am the owner of this shop, and I looked at your expression just now, and I don't seem to be very satisfied with the east inside?" ”
"Manager Zhao?" Liu Peng glanced at the introduction on the business card, and couldn't help whispering out, Liu Peng immediately understood what the boss meant, and said: "Manager Zhao misunderstood, in fact, I want to see if there is bamboo furniture here, to tell you, I am producing bamboo chairs, bamboo stools, bamboo baskets and other small family use, just took a look, and found that no one sells these, maybe everyone doesn't accept these very much!" Excuse me Mr. Zhao, I'll take my leave first! With that, he turned and walked out
Manager Zhao heard that it was some bamboo furniture, his eyes couldn't help but light up, although this Manager Zhao looked very young, but to be the owner of such a big store, his vision was still very unique, and he hurriedly stopped Liu Peng, and said: "Sir, let's go in and talk!" I'd like to hear about those pieces of furniture that you've introduced! ”
Liu Peng thought that there was no drama this time, and he was going to make some low-grade utensils, but he knew that the manager Zhao in front of him wanted to hear about the product he said, and glanced at Manager Zhao in surprise, Liu Peng nodded and agreed to him.
Following this Manager Zhao straight to the office in the house, Liu Peng thought: It seems that this Manager Zhao is a little interested in this bamboo furniture, maybe it feels relatively fresh!
As soon as he stepped into the office, Liu Peng became interested in the decoration inside, the whole room looked very elegant, many decorations were made of wood, there was no sense of style, there was a small pot of cactus on the desk, and a few pots of plants were placed on the windowsill. It's not the same as the groggy feeling outside!
Liu Peng couldn't help but praise: "This office feels very fresh, Manager Zhao is really a funny person!" ”
Manager Zhao smiled, didn't deny it, and said, "This gentleman, I haven't asked your name yet?" ”
"My surname is Liu!"
"Mr. Liu, please take a seat! Tell me about the kind of furniture you just talked about, such as bamboo chairs? ”
"These bamboo chairs, bamboo stools and the like produced there are all made of natural bamboo by hand, and then made by some water chestnut polishing, polishing, etc., giving people a simple and elegant feeling in appearance!" These are all made up by Liu Peng, but these are also his original processing ideas.
After listening to some of Liu Peng's introductions, Manager Zhao began to ponder, although he is more aggressive in business, but before making certain decisions, he will still analyze and judge according to the market situation, so it is not accidental that Manager Zhao can have his current achievements. After a while, Manager Zhao said: "Mr. Liu, I haven't seen the real thing now, so I can't make a judgment, but I'm still very interested in this matter, I don't know if you can provide me with some physical references?" If you can get by, I'll settle everything you produce! ”
"Okay, after I go back, I'll send you the sample, and then I'll ask Manager Zhao to decide!" Liu Peng stood up and said goodbye
After leaving the furniture market, Liu Peng walked to his next destination, this time there is also a task is to buy some processing tools, such as some antiseptic, insect control and other "medicine", and some polishing tools, this time buy some first, go back to make the sample, see how the effect is. Walking on the road, Liu Peng pondered: the road of handmade products this time is very different from those mechanized bamboo products, handmade can only make some small household products, such as stools, chairs and the like, like those large sofas, it is difficult to make them by hand.
After buying some of the tools he needed, Liu Peng walked directly to the bus station, and now it was time to go back to the village to try out the samples. Liu Peng rushed back to the village in the evening, with a large bag of tools and some "medicine", listening to the report of his subordinates, and now he has contacted several weaving experts in the village, and the villagers are also quite interested in the current weaving thing, listen to them, anyway, it's okay now, it's best to earn money, and it doesn't matter if you don't have money.
When Liu Peng saw these weaving experts in the village the next day, he found that the uncle he saw last time was also inside, and it was thanks to his reminder that Liu Peng thought of making bamboo products. In last night, Liu Peng thought about how to process these bamboos, first using "medicine" water to soak the bamboo poles, and then take them out to dry, so that the treated material can be comparable to wood, and the material soaked in "medicine" water in advance can also be antiseptic and insect-proof, so that the service life of the product is extended, and then use these treated bamboo for hand-weaving, mainly producing recliners, chairs, stools and some baskets for fruit or grocery shopping, etc., Finished products such as chairs have to be wound with strips at each connection, which can not only cover up the gaps in the joints, but also increase the beauty of the product, and then polish and polish the processes on some edges and corners, and some have to carry out some "color", such as light white "color", ivory yellow, mahogany "color", etc., most of these "colors" are natural and simple and have a strong texture, and they are slightly urbanized and elegant in the original, so that the living room is full of leisurely, comfortable and quiet natural atmosphere. For his own idea, Liu Peng feels that there is a great chance of success, especially in the city to see some leather, pressed wood and other furniture, as long as his own bamboo products with a strong natural flavor can come out, it will be able to sell well.
These weaving experts in front of them, most of them are more than half a hundred years old, it seems that this hand weaving technology is also after years of accumulation to have today, remember the first two days just to see the speed of the uncle's strips, you can see it. Liu Peng told his thoughts to the most able to weave in front of the village, everyone is very good at weaving immersion, a little by Liu Peng a reminder, they can understand the idea of Director Liu, when everyone listened to the idea of Director Liu, but also loudly applauded in their hearts, I can't think of Director Liu's ideas are really many.
The first trial production was a chair, and for the first sample, everyone was careful to make it, from the selection of bamboo and soaking in "potion" water at the beginning, to the details of the subsequent drying test material, all of which were highly concerned. After compiling, from the joints of the various parts of the whole chair, as well as the polishing of the bamboo joints, they were carefully checked over and over again to see if there were any omissions, and finally to the upper "color", the first time I chose the ivory yellow "color", when the first finished chair was displayed in front of everyone, everyone couldn't believe that it was made by themselves, they had done similar things before, but they were far from the same in terms of craftsmanship and appearance. Liu Peng is also very satisfied with the chair in front of him, the appearance of ivory yellow, the chair surface is made of a piece of flattened bamboo, smooth and comfortable, the back of the chair is also bent according to the back of the person, into an S shape, the armrest is bent by a bamboo pole, the four chair feet are slightly bent outward on the soles of the feet, the whole chair is natural and decent, generous and elegant.
