Chapter 203, Furniture Factory

Li Yuanshan brought people here, settled down first, and then asked Yang Mingdong: "How is this time?"

"Of course it's booming!" Yang Mingdong said with a smile, "There are construction sites everywhere, there are new houses built every week, and new companies are opened every day! Since you are opening a company, even if you are really short of money, at least you must be glamorous on your face, so that people believe in your strength, isn't it? So our furniture sells very well." There is already not a single piece of furniture left in the storefront, and a batch of them will be looted immediately! It's great if you bring this group of people over, and we can expand production. ”

"None of them are gone, what about the set I made?" Li Yuanshan asked, "Sold too?"

"It's sold!" Yang Mingdong said with a smile, "Sure enough, as you said, the boss outside is really rich! As long as the things are good, no one will make a counteroffer." And he also left a message, I hope you do it as soon as possible, he still wants a set. ”

"Okay, let's make a few more sets. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "It's so easy to make money, it's a fool not to do it." ”

"I'm going to buy some more machines when I have enough money in a while. Yang Mingdong said, "What we are doing now is to make money, but people are working too slowly." It is more efficient to use the machine to do it, even if the price is low, but you can make more money. ”

"I think the same way. Li Yuanshan nodded and said, "Now we have to do it as a last resort, we rent a factory storefront, there is not much money left, and we buy a depalletizing machine and go halfway, so we can only use labor." In fact, I can't make much money, and the technical requirements of the furniture factory are not high, and the competition will be bigger and bigger in the future. When there were more competing factories, there were probably a lot of rich people at that time, so we went back to expand the production scale of handmade furniture and create a famous brand of handmade furniture. ”

"As long as your craftsmanship is there, this brand can be played at any time. Yang Mingdong said with a smile.

"I can't just build a brand. Li Yuanshan shook his head and said, "You also have to continue to improve your skills." The same is true for the workers in the factory, who cannot leave their craft behind while operating the machines. ”

"It's simple, mechanics and handicrafts are exchanged, and then the good ones are picked out and continued to be cultivated. Yang Mingdong said, "Anyway, we don't give up the handmade furniture stall." ”

"Mingming, no one has come to make trouble during this time, right?" After talking about the factory's next plans, Li Yuanshan asked Yang Mingliang again.

"Hehe! nothing happened during this time. Yang Mingliang smiled, "Those second-rate people are scared of being taught a lesson by you." "It's not so easy to open a factory, especially here, there are all kinds of cheating, cheating, and stealing, and there are more and more trends. Small gangs also began to form in the streets.

As soon as the factory opened, some thugs came to the door with sticks and knives to extort money. Li Yuanshan was not used to them, he was beaten fatly, dropped a stick and a short knife and dagger, and lay on the ground and snorted. Li Yuanshan was measured, they were not seriously injured, but the pain was terrible, and they lay down for a long time before limping away.

"Not only here, but also the store is very quiet now, and they are all scared. Yang Mingdong said, "Anyway, I really didn't expect to have to pass this hurdle in business!"

"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Li Yuanshan said, "But when I'm not there, you still focus on stability, just give some money to send away, don't hurt yourself for some money." "It used to be a thug, but then it's different. The operation that began last year shot and killed a lot of people, but it still didn't frighten them, but it was just a little more restrained during this time.

For this reason, Li Yuanshan decided not to buy timber directly from the factory, but to let the timber merchant pull it over. He didn't want to cause accidents to the villagers because he came to set up a factory.

After arranging it here, Li Yuanshan didn't even go to the store, so he took the rest of the people to go around one construction site after another, looking for work.

It is easy to find a job that can build walls, and the salary is much higher, and others who have no skills can only do manual work such as porters.

Although the wages for manual work are lower, they are much higher than in their hometowns, and they are all in their twenties and thirties, and they are not afraid of being tired, but they are afraid that they will not be able to earn money.

On the construction site, Li Yuanshan also saw two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, with thin and short bodies, struggling to pull a large cart of bricks. Li Yuanshan helped and said, "You are still young, and your body will not be able to bear it if you do this kind of heavy physical work." ”

"I don't have the skills, so I have to do this job. The other party wiped his sweat and said.

"Let's go home when the month is finished. Li Yuanshan said, "Don't exhaust your body, the money you earn is not enough for medical expenses." ”

"What can I do when I go back?" said the other party, "and the family is already having a hard time." ”

"No matter how bad it is, you can't come to do manual work. Li Yuanshan said, "At your age, it is the time to study and learn knowledge, if you don't study now, what will you do in the future?

"No money. The other party said.

"If you don't have money, you have to use your brains, and hard work is a last resort. Li Yuanshan smiled, "Listen to your accent, your family is from the province, right?"

"Well, I'm from Huizhou. ”

"That's not far away. Li Yuanshan said, "You won't sell your things there? If you have more things, you can ask someone to help, or you can ask a car to pull it, this is much easier than moving bricks, right? But I still hope that you will put more energy into studying, and don't just think about making money." ”

Sent people to the construction site, Li Yuanshan accompanied the deputy county of Gao, the chief for two days, when he left, the deputy county of Gao, the chief's heart was hot, not to mention the matter of running a factory, so many construction sites, many members can be arranged to come out to work, even if the salary is low.

This is indeed a hot land, even if you enter the construction site, the salary is higher than that of other cities, and it is good for the county to seize this opportunity. As for what is too far away from home, you can't go home once a year, and what left-behind children are, you can't take care of these now, and the consequence of being blind and hypocritical is that you can't make money and can't change your poor life.

In Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", the pipa girl said that businessmen value profit over separation. If she could stay at home and live a good life, who would want to run around? If it weren't for the businessman running around to do business, would she have had the leisure time to play the pipa in her arms? I am afraid that she would have been overwhelmed by heavy labor! This is a typical blind hypocrisy!

As for educating children, there is still a daughter-in-law at home. Don't think that these mothers will only spoil them, in order to teach their children well, they are also ruthless.

For example, Yang Guangliang and Yang Guangyou, who have been soldiers for many years, often can't come back once in two or three years, and their children rely on their daughter-in-law's education. Other people's families are all evil people, and the children sometimes cry and call their mothers when they are beaten by their mothers, and their children cry and call their fathers.

"Boss Zhang, next pay attention to collect some sour branches and wood, of course, it is better to have red sandalwood and yellow pear. Zhang Hongyang and the two sent wood over, Li Yuanshan said.

"What kind of boss, don't you rely on your support Brother Li!" Zhang Hongyang said while scattering a cigarette, "There are a lot of sour branches and trees here, and it's easy to collect them." However, it is not easy to make rosewood and huanghuali, especially rosewood, which is mostly made into furniture even if it exists. The four of them were instigated by Li Yuanshan before they began to collect timber, and now there is only one furniture factory.

"It can also be made into furniture. Li Yuanshan said, "Of course, it is best to use whole wood, and the price can be high." ”

"I've heard it all. Zhang Hongyang admired, "Brother Li, the set of furniture you made sold for more than 200,000 yuan!

"What is this?" Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "The paintings of those foreign painters are millions or pounds at every turn. In exchange for our money, it will be tens of millions!" Of course, that's the case, but it's a surprise to be able to sell so much. That is, those who come to the mainland to do business have money, otherwise they will definitely not be able to sell it. Even if some people have the courage to earn one or two million after a few years, they are reluctant to spend so much money to buy a set of furniture, no matter how good the workmanship is, how high the artistic value, ornamental value, and collection value.

However, for people from outside, more than 200,000 yuan is only how much? Half of the masters' craftsmanship is more than that, not to mention the craftsmanship of the masters among the masters! Therefore, Li Yuanshan also plans to sell one or two more sets at most, and the rest will not be sold for the time being.

Think about it twenty years later, the important works of Qi Baishi and others are tens of millions of dollars. At the price of precious wood at that time, plus his own craftsmanship, it was okay to buy a dozen pieces of furniture for twenty or thirty million, right?

"At this time, the domestic economy has not yet developed, and more than 200,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money! Even if the salary is 15 yuan a month, not 200 yuan, it will take 100 years of work to get it, more than 500 tons of grain to buy, and more than 1,000 bicycles to buy." ”

"Why don't you say buy a car?" Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "You can buy one ordinary car, and even better, it's only enough to buy a few wheels." ”

"Cars are so expensive because they are produced too little. Zhang Hongyang said, "If the output is large, it will definitely not be so expensive." "This is true, twenty years later, the average car will only cost more than 100,000, but the more than 100,000 at that time is not the same as the current 100,000, the wages of workers now are tens of hundreds of yuan, and the wages of workers at that time were two or three thousand.

"That's great, I'm going to save up for a few years and buy a car. Zhang Hongyang's younger brother said happily.

"Buy a car?" Li Yuanshan shook his head and said, "Then it's better to build the house first." The car is a consumable, the price is still expensive, and the longer you buy it and drive it, the more depreciation it will have. Build a house to live in better, and it won't depreciate. ”

Zhang Hongyang said: "That's it, if you want to buy a car, you have to buy a truck, and you can also transport goods." ”

"It's okay to buy a truck, just in time for you to transport timber. Li Yuanshan said, "Even if you don't do timber business in the future, you can use it in other businesses." ”
