Chapter 397: So Generous
Liu Xinyu didn't stay in Fangjiazhuang for long, and she had to take Carpenter Fang back to Changchun Lane to look at the house today.
"Master Fang, you can't make enough money, but you have to take care of your health!" On the way back to the city, Liu Xinyu glanced at Master Fang, who was dozing off in the back seat.
The urban construction in the capital was gradually on the fast track, and Carpenter Fang led the engineering team to start the business of demolishing old houses.
Now he is so busy that he can't even take care of the furniture factory. The furniture factory has been managed by his youngest son who just failed the college entrance examination.
Not only has the quality of the furniture declined, but the output has also been significantly reduced. If this continues, the furniture factory is not far from closing down.
Although Liu Xinyu didn't own any shares in this furniture factory, it was founded at her suggestion. Liu Xinyu certainly didn't want to see a good furniture factory close down like this.
To be honest, Liu Xinyu didn't understand what Carpenter Fang was thinking.
The profit of a furniture factory is not low, and it is safer and less labor-intensive than demolishing a house.
Maybe it would be more profitable to demolish old houses!
After listening to Liu Xinyu's words, Fang Carpenter showed a wry smile on his face and sighed: "If you can rest, who would want to be busy all day long! Now more and more people are coming to the city to work, and you can get along with just a few people.
We are grabbing business, and it is becoming more and more difficult to demolish houses. If we don’t work harder, how can we make money! Alas, we really don’t make much money, but we just earn some hard-earned money.”
Liu Xinyu raised her eyebrows, paused for a moment and said: "Master Fang, I have a doubt. If I am wrong, please forgive me."
Carpenter Fang looked up at Liu Xinyu and said, "Tell me, we have known each other for several years. Is there anything we can't say?"
"I just want to ask Master Fang, does it make more money to demolish a house or make furniture?" Liu Xinyu asked directly.
Carpenter Fang was stunned, and after a while he wiped his face and said: "Oh, how can I say this? Not everyone can make furniture, and the engineering team I led was just me, my two sons, and a few apprentices.
If they can do carpentry but can't do anything else, we can't let them squat in a furniture factory and earn a living."
From Fang Carpenter's expression, Liu Xinyu could tell that he should have understood what Liu Xinyu meant, so Liu Xinyu smiled and did not continue, leaving Fang Carpenter to think about it himself.
If it doesn't work, let Liu Xinjian and Zhang Hongliang withdraw their shares from the furniture factory. In this era, if you have money, you can make money in any business.
After Fang Qia graduated from his master's degree and was assigned to the Ministry of Engineering, he transferred his shares in the furniture factory to Zhang Hongliang, probably because he planned to enter politics.
After seeing the house in Changchun Lane based on Liu Xinyu's personal renovation plan, Carpenter Fang made some small suggestions. Liu Xinyu looked around and determined that Carpenter Fang's suggestion was more reasonable than her own plan, so she immediately revised the plan.
.
"What is Dr. Liu's renovation budget?" Carpenter Fang put away the tape measure and looked at Liu Xinyu and asked.
Liu Xinyu was already prepared. Her budget, including renovation and office furniture, was 5,000 yuan, but the amount reported to Carpenter Fang was 3,000 yuan.
Carpenter Fang frowned.
This was not the first time that he renovated Liu Xinyu's house to make office furniture. He knew that Liu Xinyu's requirements were relatively high and all materials must be good, so it was not easy to give him only 3,000 yuan.
But it’s not impossible, it can be done using old bricks and old wood.
It just so happened that the engineering team demolishing old houses had a lot of old bricks and timber, and they were all good bricks and timber. However, the engineering team's profit was small.
But if you earn less, just earn less. Liu Xinyu’s line cannot be broken.
As he just said, although there are more and more houses that need to be demolished now, there are more and more teams participating in the competition, and the phenomenon of price reduction is becoming more and more serious. It is better to take on a few such renovation projects and
Focus more on the production of furniture factories, and the money you make will not be less than demolishing houses. The main reason is that it is safe and less worrying.
"Is there any difficulty?" Liu Xinyu asked when Carpenter Fang frowned and remained silent.
Carpenter Fang scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "It is a bit difficult. If Dr. Liu doesn't mind using old bricks and old wood, it will be less difficult. You know, we will always leave some bricks when we demolish the house.
and wood.”
Liu Xinyu nodded: "As long as the bricks are good bricks and the wood is good wood, I don't mind. Well, I won't make it difficult for you and add another thousand yuan, but the wood used for office furniture and doors and windows must be good.
wood, plus wood floors in two rooms.”
Although wooden floors were added for two rooms, the cost was a thousand yuan. Not to mention Carpenter Fang, even Liu Xinjian was stunned by Liu Xinyu.
I knew Liu Xinyu was generous, but I didn't expect him to be so generous.
Carpenter Fang asked some more details, such as whether the other rooms should be paved with tiles or terrazzo except for wooden floors in two rooms.
Liu Xinyu clicked on the floor tiles directly.
Although the floor tiles of this era have few colors and are not of good quality, Liu Xinyu would rather use floor tiles than terrazzo, which may contain radiation.
Carpenter Fang wrote down Liu Xinyu's requirements one by one in his notebook, took Liu Xinyu's renovation plan and office furniture drawings, and Liu Xinyu's prepayment of two thousand yuan in his arms, and Liu Xinjian drove him home.
After watching Liu Xinjian drive away, Carpenter Fang first went around the furniture factory. Looking at the messy wood, weak apprentices and rough-processed boards, Carpenter Fang finally understood why Liu Xinyu mentioned the furniture factory.
He hasn't been here for just a few days, and the furniture factory has been ruined like this. If it continues like this, let alone making money, I'm afraid it will have to close down.
He took the engineering team to demolish houses outside. Making money was only one of the reasons. The main reason was to collect good wood for the furniture factory.
What now?
I collected some wood, but I didn't make much money.
I thought I wouldn’t make much money from demolishing the house, but there was always a furniture factory supporting me.
The results of it!
The furniture factory is closing soon!
Who wants to buy this kind of quality?!
When the apprentices saw the master coming, they cheered up, but they were used to being lazy and their skills on their hands were rusty. This plane was crooked and that saw blade was broken.
Carpenter Fang became angrier as he watched, and said in a deep voice, "Where's Fang Lin?"
None of the apprentices spoke, but their eyes were all directed towards the small room next to the workshop.
Needless to say, his unlucky son must be hiding in the small room.
Carpenter Fang came to the door of the small room in three steps and kicked it open with one kick.
Fang Lin was indeed inside, sleeping soundly. He was woken up by the sound of the door being kicked, and he cursed in a daze: "Who, didn't you see me sleeping?"
It was a good thing that he didn't speak, but these words instantly ignited Fang Carpenter's anger, and he picked up a wooden board and threw it directly at Fang Lin.
Although the wooden board is light, it carries the anger of Carpenter Fang, and it will certainly hurt when it hits you.
Fang Lin sensed something was wrong and opened his eyes to face the angry eyes of the carpenter above him and the wooden board raised above his head.
Fang Lin got up from the ground, screamed "Ouch" and "Ouch" and ran out.
The father and son were chasing each other around the furniture factory...
