President Li led the guests to visit all the way from other stores of the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and went to the hardware store department of Yangliufang. Because now the entire hardware store is owned by Yang Liufang, so it can be planned in a unified manner, the style is consistent, and the door is very suddenly open, and with the renovation of the canteen, their newly painted wall is even more new.

Now the leaders walk in the hardware department of the various sales areas, whether it is the hardware hall, the building materials hall is bright and clean, well-organized, especially the furniture hall, from home furniture to office furniture are used in the scene design, as well as sofa and bed area, Yang Liufang deliberately let go of the light, the office furniture scene is bright and modern, and the home furniture looks warm and advanced under the warm light.

Several leaders unconsciously walked to the bed area, and the two Simmons beds were arranged in two partition bedrooms without roofs, one with a white mattress and the other with a bare bed. The general manager of Wolongshan Hotel also personally experienced it, and after trying it by sitting or lying down, he was very happy.

"Ha, Lao Li, I didn't expect you to let me come this time and have a harvest, I'll report when I go back to see if I can replace the beds in the Wolongshan Hotel with this kind of high-end spring bed."

"Oh, my Mr. Wang, it's already very face-saving for you to cut the ribbon for our subordinate units, if you have any instructions, I'll let them be in charge." said that he asked the new president of the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, who followed him, to call Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu over.

"Xiao Yang, Xiao Li, Mr. Wang wants you to replace the room in our Wolongshan Hotel with a high-end spring bed like yours, is there a problem?"

"Ah......" Yang Liufang was stunned for a moment. Through Director Li's introduction before, he already knew the background of the Wolongshan Hotel, but he didn't expect that a dignified provincial guesthouse would be his turn to make a bed, and he didn't expect Director Li to give himself such a big gift by inserting willows, so he was a little surprised at first glance.

Then he asked stupidly: "Leader, how many rooms do we have?" How many standard rooms are there? How much is the queen bed? ”

"The hotel has a total of 298 rooms in five buildings, with a total of 500 beds. What, are there any difficulties? ”

"No, leader, we have finished calculating the engineering quantity." Yang Liu stammered a little when he was nervous.

"Well, that's good, don't be so complicated at the head of the bed, and don't need this kind of storage cabinet below, it's simple and practical, beautiful and atmospheric."

"Understand, leader, we design a few styles, take photos to make a booklet, please choose between you and the leader." Yang Liufang had an idea, remembering some of the exhibits he saw when he went to the exhibition, and he also took photos, and then all the hotel scenes were classified together, and some could even be directly made samples, and it was a big deal to dismantle them into other sales, which was nothing more than a waste of some man-hours. When the time comes, ask a professional organization to make a booklet, which is also convenient for the leaders to decide.

"It's for the best." Mr. Wang of Wolongshan Hotel said.

"Alright, let's go to the scene." Director Li saw that the time was about the same, so he invited the leaders to the opening ceremony.

The ribbon-cutting took place in front of the staircase facing the street, and the red carpet was laid out on a 1-meter-high platform. First, the leaders of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Department of Commerce took the stage to speak, and then President Li gave a speech of thanks to the leaders at all levels for their care. The leaders of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the Bureau of Commerce applauded below. The media came uninvited, and because Yang Liufang had the experience of receiving the media when the wells and buckets were donated last time, he was even better for these reporters this time, because he knew that these "mouthpieces" could make themselves famous and fortune with a casual small article in their TV stations, radio and newspapers, so he also thoughtfully prepared souvenirs for reporters and photographers and cameramen.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony and entering the lunch time, whether it was provincial or municipal leaders and media reporters, everyone took their own plates and lined up to order, which was the first time in Xizhou, under the lens of the media, the leaders behaved very close to the people. Because of the discount on the opening day, many passers-by and customers who purchased at the supply and marketing cooperatives poured in, and everyone came to experience the new canteen. Some citizens who have seen the relevant leaders on TV saw the leaders and recognized them, so they led their families to greet the leaders, and some even took a group photo. The leader was also very casual and cordial to cooperate, and later simply chatted with the citizens who came in to eat while eating. Media reporters seized the opportunity to record this heartwarming scene with their own lenses.

The leaders went deep among the masses and really solved some practical problems. Soon the province issued the "Decision of the People's Government of Northwest Province on Strictly Controlling Prices and Stabilizing the Market", and decided to require the relevant units that have increased prices indiscriminately within the specified time to return the part that has been sold to consumers with malicious price increases, such as Xizhou Xinlong Household Appliances Company was forced to refund customers under the supervision of the media because of the indiscriminate price increases. The people who received the money were full of praise for the deeds of the leaders in serving the people, doing practical things for the masses, and doing good things.

There are also the masses who come to the supply and marketing cooperatives to purchase building materials, and the decoration industry is full of chaos, all of which are migrant workers and no professional talents...... After listening to the opinions of the masses, the leaders of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission specially held a joint meeting with the Provincial Department of Education after going back, and on September 20 of the same year, the junior college class of "Architecture and Interior and Exterior Decoration Design" jointly organized by the Northwest Provincial Committee and the Northwest University for Nationalities officially opened. The actions of these leaders are still talked about by the masses many years later.

After the opening ceremony, sending off the relevant leaders, Yang Liufang asked Yanhua to immediately contact the advertising company that made her business card, and made three albums of Simmons beds in the shortest possible time. After the album came out, he sent it to the general office of Wang of the Wolongshan Hotel through President Li, and he arranged a special personnel to dock, Yang Liufang wanted to dock in person, but he was shy of his own cultural level, so he asked Wang Xinye of the supply and marketing cooperatives to dock the Wolongshan Hotel.

Soon, the leaders settled on two Simmons beds, both of which were white and relatively simple, one with a leather sponge backrest and an ordinary European-style carved headboard. Yang Liufang personally started proofing, and stared at the steel structure of Simmons mattresses in the tension spring group, and then tested one spring and one spring, and then tested different parts by square meters. After two weeks of production, after the sample came out, it was sent to Wolongshan Hotel as soon as possible, and the leaders were asked to see the actual effect and the leaders were invited to experience it personally. After the experience of the leader, he put forward some small suggestions, and Yang Liufang made improvements as required, and soon the bed was set. After signing the contract, Wolongshan Hotel paid a deposit to the factory as soon as possible, so that Yang Liufang could step up production and go all out to ensure supply.

Since there is no lathe, in order to maintain the balance of spring force in all parts of the mattress bed, Yang Liufang personally participated in the design, with welders and two apprentices, and used a hand-held scale to make a "spring puller" to ensure that the spring force of each combination is the same. In order to prevent the sponge and the fabric on the mattress from being worn out for a long time, Yang Liufang asked the plastic factory to process a 3cm encryption sponge for himself, so that the comfort of the mattress is improved at the same time, and the sound of the spring is weakened.

500 sets of beds, Yang Liufang also equipped the bedside stool as he saw at the Simmons exhibition, which took the whole factory three months. Because Yang Liufang personally went down, everyone worked hard, getting up early and being busy every day. Every set of finished products comes out, he has to personally check them, and only after confirming that they are correct, they are packaged and put into storage. Yang Liufang led four apprentices and four porters to work from beginning to end for three months, and during the three months, more than 1,000 sets of their office furniture were sold, and the factory and supply and marketing cooperatives made a lot of money.

Since all the technicians in the field have invested in the production of this project, the furniture in the supply and marketing cooperatives has also been ordered, and the orders are scheduled until the end of the year. During this period, Yang Liufang received a call from his hometown, which was from his sister Liu Xia, and Liu Xia's crisp voice on the other end of the phone told him that he was admitted to the highest university in the province - the School of Finance and Economics of Zhejiang University, and she chose the more popular economic management major.

"Is economic management finance? When you finish your studies, you can become an accountant for me. Brother is developing very well here, and there are three companies. Yang Liufang said half-jokingly and half-boastingly.

"Brother, underestimate people, who wants to be your accountant, and besides, finance is only a part of economic management." The junior sister said coquettishly.

No matter how the brother and sister quarrel, the junior sister admitted to Zhejiang University is like a fresh breeze, blowing in this season of fire, it is so fresh. Yang Liufang happily and sincerely congratulated his junior sister on the phone, as if he had been admitted to the university, and told Li Tongfu to remit 20,000 yuan to the master through the post office, and told him not to let his junior sister suffer himself, and he would cover all the tuition and living expenses for school in the future. The current Yang Liufang office furniture and Simmons mattresses are like two money printing machines, constantly spitting money on himself, and it is difficult for him to lack money, so he has the confidence to say so.

Li Tongfu received the news of the remittance, and as the eldest brother in the family, he added another 10,000 yuan, a total of 30,000 yuan and returned it to Yang Liufang's master, Yang Liugen. In the late eighties, even in the nineties, it was definitely a huge amount of money for a college student.

While they were producing Simmons for the Wolongshan Hotel and selling office furniture in large quantities, the sales of sanitary ware were also going on silently. According to Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu's original plan, Wang Shan was specially transferred to be the sales minister. Li Tongfu boldly delegated power and asked Wang Shan to recruit two salespeople by himself, and in addition to Xizhou, the market in other cities was arbitrarily developed.

At the end of the 80s, the reform and opening up entered a period of tackling tough problems, and the lives of the people of the whole country had just improved, and dry toilets were still used in many places in the northwest, and tap water was not popularized, and flush toilets and washbasins belonged to the bourgeoisie for ordinary families. As a result, Wang Shan led his two subordinates to work for three months, except for two cities in Northwest Province that opened sales outlets, and two cities where supply and marketing cooperatives began to sell their furniture and sanitary ware because of President Li's greeting, there was no progress in other cities. And in addition to the furniture selling relatively well, the sanitary ware is almost unattended.
