After solving all the preliminary work of custom furniture, Huang Shouzhen only needs to hand over the list to Zhou Wenhua and his wife, and the next thing is to communicate with the merchant themselves.

In short: pay for what should be paid, and ship for the goods.

And Huang Shouzhen himself is like an intermediary responsible for helping to match people in the middle, and after completing the docking tasks with each other, there is nothing for him.

Of course, he is a purely free intermediary, which is exactly in line with the famous sentence of the future advertisement: middlemen do not make the difference.

As for the material rebate, although it is an invisible unspoken rule between Party B and the material supplier in the design market, Huang Shouzhen does not intend to profit from it.

One is that the design fee he has set now is really high for an independent designer with an unknown reputation, in the current era, which is enough to match his salary.

The second is to secretly eat kickbacks behind Party A's back, although it is true that it can increase some additional income, but once this kind of thing is leaked out, it is actually a very bad thing, which will inevitably cause the impact of smashing the signboard.

At the end of the day, he's a designer who does pure design, not engineering, and has some taboos, and what should be avoided must be avoided.

Moreover, he sacrificed this part of the rebate, just to make less money, but for the material supplier and Party A, it is a win-win situation.

For example, in Zhou Wentao's previous project, Huang Shouzhen could have eaten a lot of furniture rebates, but after he decided not to take this part of the profits, he secretly reached a long-term agreement with the previous furniture suppliers, and in the future, he will give half of the rebates to the material supplier himself, and half of it is to use the discount method to bring him more preferential treatment on the basis of the market price, so that the material supplier itself can make more money, and Party A can save a sum of money, why not?

Of course, this is Huang Shouzhen's careful thinking of sacrificing himself for self-gain.

Compared with most people, he has seen the world himself, so in terms of long-term development, if he really wants to have a place in the entire design market of Bailu City, he must first accumulate reputation.

So, how do you accumulate this reputation, and where do you start with it? This is actually quite a complicated question.

First of all, it must be hard power, that is, its own professional ability, which is the foundation of accumulating word of mouth, as long as there are good works landed, they can be passed on by word of mouth.

For example, after he completed Zhou Wentao's project before, he indirectly got Zhou Wenhua's project, which is the word-of-mouth effect.

The second is the ever-changing market rules, using money to create word of mouth.

By sacrificing some of your own money, let others get the benefits, so that you can achieve the effect of advertising.

For example, if Party A saves money and gets good results, it will naturally help you to praise your excellence in front of relatives and friends, which is much more efficient than you use your three-inch tongue to promote yourself in front of strangers.

After all, as long as you are a normal person, you will definitely believe in the introduction of acquaintances, and will not directly choose to believe in the self-praise of a design company.

In addition to the communication effect of Party A's help, the more important advertising revenue comes from word of mouth among material vendors.

As a top designer, Huang Shouzhen deeply knows that if he can gain a good reputation in the material market, then whether it is for his future fame or the creation of a design brand, the effect is definitely far greater than the feedback from various Party A.

Of course, the scope of this is too wide, so I won't say more, just need to understand.

......

After sending the docking list of customized furniture to Zhou Wenhua by email, Huang Shouzhen was not so busy in the short term, in addition to receiving a text message from Chen Qinghe every day to reply to the construction inquiry, his spare time was basically to go to the library to read books, and by the way, he took the time to point out the drawing training of Xu Fan, Chen Lei, and Ye Haiwen.

As for the normal class time, he always went to class well.

In any case, since he is on campus, unless he is forced to skip class, under normal circumstances, he will be a good student, go to class seriously, and strive to graduate smoothly, which is not only an explanation for himself, but also a decent explanation for his parents who want their son Jackie Chan.

"Students, you are going to have a sleepless night tonight, I hope that before class tomorrow, each of you can draw 20 different logos for me to see, do you hear clearly?!"

On the podium, Huang Shouzhen listened to the overloaded homework arranged by the professional teacher, and his heart was suddenly pulled back to the history he had experienced.

This is the second time in his life that he has heard this phrase from the same course: logo design, and from the same teacher.

The reason why they are so impressed is that this teacher is so crazy that he asks them to come up with 20 different logo designs in one night, which is undoubtedly an impossible task for them now.

Of course, although the teacher asked for this, they were not stupid, if I remember correctly, basically everyone of them only stayed up late to make three or four logos, and then unanimously decided to go to bed.

When it came to class the next day, the teacher saw that they had only made three or four logos, and he didn't say much, as if he had expected this result.

"This teacher is so perverted, he even let us stay up all night, and also let us come up with 20 different logos in one night, who can do this!"

"It's just, I don't think I can make 10 of them......"

"10, you're too confident, it's nice if you can make 5!"

After school, Huang Shouzhen listened to the complaints of Luo Junjie and others, and did not choose to interject.

This is also the student era, even if you can't complete the task, the teachers won't say much, but if you get to the workplace, that is, when to hand over the map, when you have to hand in the map, whether you are up all night or not, live directly in the office, in short, when the time comes, you must complete the work tasks assigned by the company, there is no room for maneuver and bargaining!

It's better to be a student, without having to survive independently or face layers of pressure from employers...... Huang Shouzhen sighed silently.

But no matter who you are, you can't be a student forever.

As for coming up with 20 different logos in one night, he's not stupid, of course he wouldn't do such a stupid thing...... Not only will he not even be able to do 20 logo designs, he will only do one.

Of course, this is the only logo, which he uses as an assignment, but also for his own needs, because he himself needs to create an independent brand logo for himself in the future.

So, after returning to the dormitory, Huang Shouzhen directly took out a piece of A4 paper, and then on the white paper, in a hand-drawn way, he drew a graphic LOGO that he had already thought of in his heart, and behind the LOGO, he wrote a line of words: Countercurrent Design Office.
