Volume 1: Entrepreneurship Chapter 151: The Birth of Office Furniture's Best-Selling Bed
Taking advantage of the absence of the newly recruited migrant workers from Wang Shawan and Zhao Magou, Shi Yong and Shi Fang devoted themselves to the production of tables and chairs in the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative. Because of the experience of making tables and chairs in the canteen of the furniture factory, this time they did not need proofing, they directly made noodles according to the standard cutting boards, cut wood squares to make legs, and with the help of four porters, they opened the materials for 40 tables in half a day. Then the two divided the labor, Shi Fang will have cut the table materials, the details, and then demonstrate to the porter the combination of the table top and the table legs, after a few sets, the two porters can already combine a whole table by themselves. Recently, they have been working together like this, as the saying goes, learn 300 Tang poems, can't make poems and steal, the four porters have been observing for a long time, and also followed Shi Yong and Shi Fang to the city to assemble furniture, and slowly became familiar with some assembly processes, and they can deal with simple furniture assembly independently.
The two porters who cooperated with Shi Yong got started faster, because their office furniture was all plates, and there was no need to open the mortise and tenon joints, and there were very few bevels, so they only needed Shi Yong to measure the size and mark it, and they could start the machine to cut the plates. Therefore, Shi Fang's table had just made two, and Shi Yong's had already nailed the four chairs.
With the help of woodworking table saws and other machines and porters, Shi Yong and Shi Fang were able to deliver their dining tables and chairs to the painting and painting workshops in a steady stream of efficient and fast speeds. This is a hard grinding worker, the original responsible for grinding only two workers, and later because of the involvement in grinding after scraping putty, the two applied to bring their respective mothers-in-law back to help, now they are all proficient, but still can't bear such a large workload. The four of them came the earliest every day, and the one who came out was the latest, and after eating, they couldn't wait to put down the plate and put it into work, and they were still busy. When he was eating in the canteen at noon, he saw Yang Liufang and told him about the situation, and Yang Liufang suddenly realized that with the increase in workload, the number of personnel really needed to increase. Let him call Shi Fang over and eat at a table for three.
"Shi Fang, as a manager, you have to have a holistic view, and you have to pay attention to whether the quantity of work and the workers match. The army (the workers in charge of grinding) has already exceeded the workload, you have to help them solve it quickly, contact your Uncle Shi first, ask him if he is suitable, and you yourself will ask if there is a suitable one, and you should also talk to your Uncle Shi if there is a suitable one, as a sign of respect. ”
"Master, I made a note of it."
"As for how many people you need, you consult with the army."
"Okay Master, is there also more manpower in the spraying and baking workshop?"
"You discuss this with Da Ga and Xiao Ga, since Master has decided that you are the manager of the factory, you must have the courage to take on the burden."
"Thank you, Master, for your trust, I will do a good job."
After eating, Shi Fang went to discuss with Secretary Shi, who thought twice and felt that this kind of long-term work in the factory was better than temporary workers on the construction site. Therefore, it is mandatory to take away two skilled workers who scrape putty and plastering from the construction site, as well as two workers who push paint, let them go back to the factory, and explain to them that the construction site is a temporary worker, and it is a long-term time to enter the factory, and a good person can drive the family to a well-off.
Under the personal supervision of Deputy Director Yan, the profiles of Xizhou Aluminum Plant were delivered to the factory on May 7, and four porters, plus four new workers, unloaded two truckloads of profiles to the new workshop in the afternoon. On May 8, the new workshop was fully operational, Shi Yong and Shi Fang were responsible for roving supervision, four cutting machines worked non-stop, four porters in the factory who were familiar with the assembly process, and several women in Shibi Village who were in charge of assembly at the beginning with dozens of newly recruited workers from Wang Shawan and Zhao Magou worked hard to put into production. Yang Liufang went to the industry and trade company, and Shi Fang saw the situation and called Boss Li to the Xizhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, asking for instructions to install a few fans in the new workshop. The supply and marketing cooperatives happened to have a new batch of diamond ceiling fans and gave them six. When Yang Liufang came back and saw it, he appreciated Shi Fang's initiative and responsibility.
After three consecutive days of belt coaching, the workers were able to assemble the office partitions independently. Shi Yong and Shi Fang began to study the production of Simmons, the bed is no problem, whether it is baking paint or cutting and customizing with ecological boards, they can complete it, but they can't design the style, fortunately, there are photos taken at the exhibition, they choose a few easy to start production. The most difficult thing is the mattress, they have experience in manually assembling springs, but they have never done such a large one, and they can't weld the steel frame.
According to the master's explanation, Shi Fang first went to ask Secretary Shi for instructions, saying that he needed a worker who knew how to weld the bed frame. Sure enough, the stone secretary had a way, went to Zhao Magou to find Yinhua she Da (father), and the next day a welder who could repair the car came, and after listening to their description, he also made improvements to the bed frame, and made the four corners rounded to avoid bumping. After hearing this, Shi Fang and Shi Yong were like a treasure, and they really met a good talent. When the other party proposed to need an electric welding machine, welding rod, etc., Shi Fang did not hesitate to contact the boss of the supply and marketing cooperative, and sent a welding machine and a box of welding rods in the afternoon.
The bed frame problem was solved, and the next step was to pull the spring, they used the manual pull spring when making the sofa, and now the four temporary workers responsible for the pull spring have been in the new workshop as a master, knowing that the workers assemble the office furniture, the new pull spring personnel can not be found for a while, and the two brothers have to try it themselves. It took two days for the two to combine into a single bed, and because there is no pound standard, the whole bed is unevenly soft and hard, and of course non-professional customers will definitely not be able to experience it. After the mattress steel structure and spring assembly were completed, they asked four workers who were originally responsible for handling to come and see, and the porters originally pulled the spring for the sofa, and knew how to assemble it at a glance, and Shi Fang and Shi Yong explained that they would pull the spring next time.
Next, I asked Secretary Shi to go to Wangqingchuan to ask the workers who made sofa covers for the sofa to make bed covers, so that these need to be clean, and they should not be too far away from the new workshop, so as not to waste time and increase the workload of the steel frame spring mattress around for no reason. As a last resort, Shi Fang asked the master to separate a 200-square-meter space inside the new workshop for the production and laying of mattress finishes. Only then did Yang Liufang realize that there was still a lack of relevant planning at the beginning, resulting in a cramped site.
Since the use of new office furniture in the aluminum factory, the Second Light Bureau and the bank, the factories under the Second Light Bureau have come to purchase, and Yang Liufang is still in short supply when they are fully engaged in production. There are more and more units calling and handing over notes, and some even directly go to the director of the aluminum factory Yan and the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, President Li. The new 100 sets of chair accessories were quickly consumed, and I had to contact Yiwu to send 1,000 sets. The plastic factory, which used to make a living from the production of plastic pots and buckets, was on the verge of bankruptcy, because Yang Liufang's factory orders for chair bases and backs were also revitalized, and the aluminum factory set up a special production line for office furniture, doors and windows.
The two products of a factory in Yangliufang only took one month to revitalize two large enterprises, and the scenery in Xizhou City was unparalleled for a while. It's just that there are too many slivers, Yang Liufang can't cope with it, so he simply hides in the office of the industry and trade company, and the production in the factory is all presided over by Shi Fang, and all the customers who hand over the slivers and purchase are required to pay a deposit in advance, and pay the full amount when picking up the goods. Even so, more than 600,000 white slips were generated, and Li Tongfu heard Yanhua's report and looked through the office one by one, and found that Xizhou Iron and Steel Plant, Xizhou Chemical Plant, etc. were some units that he and Yang Liufang could not afford to mess with. Some of these white slips were not recovered until three years later, when the factory closed down and the workers were laid off, and they became ownerless dead debts.
In the busy and anticipation, the first Simmons mattress of the Hanwangchuan wood processing factory was produced, Yang Liufang received a call, and took advantage of the evening workers to get off work, the factory closed before riding a motorcycle back, in the gypsum board and light steel keel separated from the finishing workshop, he saw this mattress, he struggled to pounce on it first to feel it positively, and then fell down again, because he slept better, the one produced in his own factory, how much he could still feel the uneven force of the spring, but this is handmade after all, Yang Liufang is very satisfied. He also asked Shi Fang and Shi Yong to take off their shoes and jump on it with themselves, and there was no problem in terms of load-bearing and abnormal sound control. After the test, Yang Liufang asked them to combine another one, and then made two beds to match, and pulled them to the furniture hall of the supply and marketing cooperatives to prepare for sale.
Half a month later, the canteen of Xizhou Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperatives was completed, Yang Liufang chose a good day, and invited President Li and his colleagues in the Xizhou catering industry to experience their new canteen, of course, the secretaries of the two villages where their factories are located were also invited. President Li was invited to be the guest of honor as the leader in charge, and he also raised the event to a higher level in the name of the market-oriented reform attempt of state-owned enterprises, and successfully invited the general manager of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Commerce and the Wolongshan Hotel to come together.
"President, the canteen of our supply and marketing cooperatives is open, why do you invite the general manager of a hotel to come, and their hotel is not here to eat." Yang Liufang asked President Li in confusion.
"You are a native hat, Wolongshan Hotel is known as the State Guesthouse of Northwest Province, and undertakes the reception service of receiving party and state leaders and heads of state and VIPs from all over the world who come to Xizhou, as well as groups, conferences and important meetings and large-scale activities in the province that come to Northwest for inspection and work. Although this general manager is at the level of the director, it is more energetic than me, and I can't invite any number of people, and I can't see it. ”
"Oh, I see."
Soon came to the day of the opening of the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative, before the ceremony, President Li, as the old leader of the Northwest Supply and Marketing Cooperative, accompanied the leaders who came to participate in the ceremony to visit the supply and marketing cooperative, and led all the way to talk about how to respond to the spirit of cleaning up fixed assets and increasing reform efforts in the province when he was the president of the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and how to carry out market-oriented operation of the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperatives under the guidance of the president of the old leadership palace, and take the lead in turning losses into profits in the province's supply and marketing system. After listening, the leaders and guests nodded frequently in approval.
