Zhang Junping did not ask the old lady to help him find a truck, nor did the old lady take the initiative to find it for him.
This is not a big deal. If Zhang Junping wants to be pulled by a cart, he can just use the cart. The old lady won't care.
Ten pallet trucks can haul away about ten tons of wood at a time. One hundred and twenty tons of huanghuali alone took twelve days to haul.
At first, Zhang Junping personally watched. After just one day of watching, he left the job to Li Xiangqian and Zhou Jianjun.
Central American Dream Factory was about to open, so he didn't have time to focus on transporting wood.
It just so happened that Secretary Gao of the Wangfujing Neighborhood Committee came to the furniture store to see him in person and said he had something to discuss with him.
Zhang Junping had to go to a furniture store.
“Classmate Xiao Zhang, it’s really amazing that he has accomplished such a great career at such a young age.
I heard from Sister Wang that you bought a yard in Liulichang and plan to expand the scale of your furniture store?" Secretary Gao first praised Zhang Junping and then asked.
"Yes, now the lives of our people are getting better and better, and the demand for furniture is also increasing. In order to better meet the people's growing needs, we plan to expand the scale of production..." Zhang Junping crackled and said a lot
Promote politically correct words such as serving the people.
"Xiao Zhang is indeed a college student from CAFA and a future people's artist. His ideological consciousness is very high..." Secretary Gao praised Zhang Junping again.
Zhang Junping listened to Secretary Gao's compliments with a smile on his face. He nodded from time to time, indicating to continue, but said modestly, "Secretary Gao, I'm sorry. I just did a little bit of what I could do, but I don't deserve your praise..."
The two of them were polite for a long time before Secretary Gao finally expressed his intention, "Xiao Zhang, since you intend to expand the scale, do you think you can help solve some problems on the street?"
"You are too polite. If you need anything from me, Secretary Gao, just ask me. I will never refuse if I can do it." Zhang Junping promised impassionedly.
Secretary Gao secretly thought, what a naughty little guy.
Zhang Junping's words are beautiful, but in fact they have no actual content at all.
Even so, Secretary Gao still expressed his request, "In recent years, the educated youth have returned to the city, which has caused great employment pressure. There are many unemployed young people on our streets. I was thinking that since Xiao Zhang is planning to expand the scale, can he
Can you help me solve the employment problem?"
Two, I can accept two educated youths who have returned to the city, but they must go through interviews and meet our requirements.
Of course, those who are good at carpentry can be given priority." Zhang Junping thought about it and said.
"Two? Student Zhang, are the two quotas a little less? Can you add a few more? I heard that your furniture orders have been scheduled until the end of the year.
If you accept a few more, don't worry about not having any orders, we will help you promote them on the street..."
The two quotas obviously did not meet Secretary Gao's expectations. He personally came forward in order to arrange for a few more unemployed young people.
"Secretary Gao, it's not that I don't want to accept more, and it's not that I don't want to share the worries of our street. In fact, I am also a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice.
The chief engineer of our furniture factory only has four machines, and he has nowhere to arrange them if there are more people!
If Secretary Gao can help us coordinate and solve the machine problem, I can accept it even with ten people." Zhang Junping looked confused.
If you don’t take the opportunity to raise some conditions at this time, when will you raise them?
"What kind of machines do you need?" Secretary Gao was stunned, obviously not expecting Zhang Junping to make such a condition.
This condition is really not too difficult for him to achieve. It may be troublesome to buy woodworking machines privately, but as the secretary of the neighborhood committee, it is not that difficult to coordinate the purchase of some woodworking machines.
"Woodworking electric saws, electric planes, and band saws. One machine can arrange for two to three people to work. Therefore, if Secretary Gao can help us coordinate and solve the problem of the machine, I can guarantee that according to the principle of two people working on one machine,
Recruit until there are three people available."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. In that case, let me help you coordinate and see if I can solve the problem of this machine. It is also the responsibility of our street to solve problems for the companies within our jurisdiction." Secretary Gao said with a smile.
.
He didn't agree directly, but the meaning behind his words was that he basically approved the exchange conditions proposed by Zhang Junping.
After chatting for a few more words and encouraging Zhang Junping, Secretary Gao said goodbye and left.
After seeing off Secretary Gao, Zhang Junping returned to the store.
As soon as I sat down, a middle-aged man of medium height and gentle manner walked in, "Comrade, is this the Central American Dream Factory?"
"Yes, are you looking at furniture or decoration?"
"I don't buy furniture or decorate my house. I heard that you have a tutorial class for painting?"
"Yes, are you planning to register your child?" Zhang Junping quickly replied.
The propaganda I entrusted to the neighborhood committee aunt was effective.
"How much does it cost?"
Zhang Junping did not answer, but glanced at Huang Juan, meaning this is your job.
Huang Juan was also very discerning. Seeing that Zhang Junping was silent, she glanced at herself and quickly stepped forward to answer, "We have two types of tutoring classes here, one class a week and two classes a week.
There are thirty-two classes and sixteen classes in a semester respectively. The charging standard is thirty-two classes and sixteen dollars for sixteen classes.
Sign up now and we will also give you a drawing board.”
"Thirty yuan a semester, so expensive?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
"Brother, our prices are not expensive anymore, and the people in charge of teaching are all college students from Central America, and they have all won awards in various youth painting competitions.
Look, these are their works." Huang Juan pointed to the paintings and calligraphy works hanging on the wall and explained to the middle-aged man.
Zhang Junping looked on from the side and saw that Huang Juan was really good, she spoke well and had no stage fright at all.
The middle-aged people are very attracted to it, but they are a little confused about the price.
In fact, what middle-aged people struggle with is not whether the price is high, but whether the charge is reasonable.
In the 1980s, paid extracurricular tutoring classes were definitely a new thing, and I didn’t know much about them. I didn’t know whether the fees were high or low.
Even if Zhang Junping charges ten yuan a semester, he would still have such doubts and worry that the fee is too high.
"If you sign up today, you can also enjoy a special discount, that is, you can designate a CAFA college student to teach your child to draw." Zhang Junping interrupted at the right time: "Whether your child will learn Chinese painting or oil painting in the future,
, if you want your child to have a better development in this area in the future, then there is only one thing you need to learn now, and that is sketching.
Take a look, these are all sketches drawn by my classmates. You can choose the ones you think are good and teach them to your children."
