Chapter 38 Workshop Transformation, New Contradictions Emerge
When Master Chi went and returned, Wu Yuan announced in front of everyone: "That's how the factory recruits people first, and everyone tries to do the work as soon as possible." It won't be long before there will be proper adjustments. β
These words made the old generation secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
It made Master Chi slightly embarrassed.
Although it was said that it was not recruiting, it was not said what the reason was.
But when he wanted to recruit people, Wu Yuan told him and the old generation respectively.
Now that he has only entered one person, he will not recruit, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the problem lies with him or the person he is looking for.
Gambler, you killed me!
"Alright, let's get to work."
After Wu Yuan finished speaking, he personally took his apprentices to work hard.
After more than half a year of training, Zhao Baojun is now able to complete most of the processes of the combination cabinet independently, but his proficiency is still somewhat lacking.
As for Ma Mingjun, he doesn't know much.
But the crafts he mastered, such as cutting boards and planing boards, were all comparable to those of a master.
It's a pity that for the slightly more difficult mortise and tenon structure, he can't catch it, and his brain is confused.
In this regard, Wu Yuan did not force it.
After all, this great apprentice's qualifications in his previous life were like this.
It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's that he's capped here.
As for Zhu Liubiao, even Ma Mingjun said that he had a good brain, but he didn't use it much.
So these two Wolong and Phoenix chicks are united, and they can almost top a skilled carpenter.
Take your time.
When preaching and teaching, we should have the patience to teach our own children.
Give the apprentices more time.
There is an extra master in the workshop.
Instead, Wu Yuan worked in the workshop for a week.
During the week, the workshop delivered two Simmons beds and one high-end combination cabinet.
Wu Yuan also observed that the newcomer Master Chen does not always get together with Master Chi, and occasionally he can smoke a cigarette with the old generation with a stinky face and chat for a few words.
This is an experienced master.
There is not only the amount of tolerance, but also the ability to accommodate people.
Therefore, Wu Yuan will often chat with him for a while and exchange some experiences.
Master Chen originally thought of himself as a lot.
In terms of age, he is a little older than Koike.
In terms of experience, he is a little more experienced than the old generation.
However, after he chatted with Wu Yuan a few times, the little bit of pride in his heart disappeared.
"I didn't expect Boss Wu to have such a profound insight into the carpenter industry at a young age."
"I studied under Fourth Master Qiao, and he taught me a lot."
Master Chen frowned slightly.
He has seen the old man of Qiao Siye, and he is a little stubborn.
The insight into the carpenter's profession may not be as profound and long-term as Wu Yuan.
It's just that at the moment, Master Chen didn't break it, and smiled.
It was also during this week that Wu Yuan came into contact with five or six carpentry masters from other villages and even townships.
He took some samples of the standing and horizontal logs of the combination cabinet and the purlin of Simmons's bed, and asked them to try a batch of them.
In the end, three masters were selected and signed a long-term supply agreement with them for processing with materials.
Among them is Zhong Wenqiang's second uncle Zhong Zhenyuan.
There is no doubt that Zhong Zhenyuan was recommended by his fourth brother-in-law, Zhong Zhentao.
But from beginning to end, Zhong Zhentao did not show up.
It's all the third brother-in-law, Xiong Gang, who contacted and mediated.
After the OEM processing was determined, the workshop in the village was adjusted accordingly.
As long as the semi-finished products provided by several OEM masters are within a reasonable range from the standard, it will not hinder the subsequent assembly and modeling.
And thanks to the use of plywood veneer, the original wood finishing and even some carving and carving work have all been simplified.
All of them are supplemented by a variety of uniformly printed stickers.
The final baked combination cabinet saves a lot of time and effort, and it is high-end.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to the end of July and the beginning of August.
Wu Yuan settled the wages of the three masters in the workshop, and by the way, he also raised the subsidies for the three apprentices.
"Baojun, you did a good job, the subsidy has risen to 100 yuan. Ming Jun and Lao Liu, you two 75. Do you have any opinions? β
Ma Mingjun patted Zhu Liubiao and said, "Master, in fact, he is also qualified to get 100." β
"Can I not see it?" Wu Yuan asked rhetorically: "The problem is, I don't just have to see ability, but also hard work. β
"And you Mingjun, think about yourself more, can you save your brain?"
"As a master, I naturally hope that each of you can take charge of your own as soon as possible and leave the master as soon as possible."
Zhao Baojun was puzzled: "Master, it is said that carpenters have to be taught for three years and one festival. Are you overestimating us? β
"Everything is changing, and there will be opportunities to make other furniture in the future, and you will understand it if you experience it carefully."
The apprentices received the subsidy, and they were all happy.
Wu Yuan also took the opportunity to close the accounts.
At present, after the OEM mode is adopted, the cost has risen slightly compared with before.
However, due to the simultaneous improvement in efficiency, the overall income of the factory has continued to rise.
It's just that since then, the delivery cycle of orders has become shorter, and the growth rate of follow-up orders has obviously not kept up.
It seems that relying on the word-of-mouth model of a few albums and customers, it can no longer keep up with the needs of the OEM processing model.
The opening of the faΓ§ade of the city is imperative.
Because of this, not only the father-in-law's side has no clue, but even the third brother-in-law's side has no response.
Realizing this, Wu Yuan brought a cigarette and went straight to the third sister's house in Xiawei Village.
Just after seven o'clock in the evening, it was not dark yet, and the third brother-in-law Xiong had not yet returned.
Wu Xiuhua hasn't even cooked yet.
Looking at the cold pot and cold stove, Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Third sister, this Xiao Wu Xiaowen is not at home, so you two won't be like this, right?" β
Wu Xiuhua said disapprerovantly: "I don't want to eat much when it's hot, but when I'm hungry, I can just roll the pancakes and green onions." β
Then he asked, "Brother, have you eaten?" If you don't eat me, I'll do it, you and your third brother-in-law will have two cups? β
Wu Yuan didn't plan to trouble the third sister.
But at this moment, Xiong just came back, and he looked at him vigorously and said, "Let's make two cups, brother." β
"Okay, third sister."
Wu Xiuhua heard that she was busy going out.
Xiong Gang sat down and said sadly: "If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have even been able to eat a hot meal." β
"Third brother-in-law, is there a problem at home? If you have any difficulties, you can say, "What else is there to see with me?" β
Xiong Gang waved his hand: "It's not difficult, it's much better than before." It's just that the kids aren't at home, and it's not worth cooking a decent meal. If you do too much, it will be bad, so you can just eat it. β
After a while, peanuts, mixed cucumbers, scrambled eggs with persimmons, and roast pork with green beans were all served on the table.
After Wu Yuan and Xiong Gang straightened up a few cups, they also talked about business.
"I've been asking about the faΓ§ade. Recently, in response to the above-mentioned policy, department stores have taken out a part of the counters and contracted by self-employed individuals. I heard that there are a lot of robbers, and they can't take it down without a slip. I'm looking for a relationship with the slivers. β
"Again, the business license thing is easy to do. But it's best to find someone too, so as not to be targeted by the people who voted for it. After all, the current policy is uncertain, and there are too many ways to interpret it. β
"Okay, third brother-in-law, you help me sort out the relationship, and I'll come forward."
