"Ping...director, they are the newly recruited apprentices? Didn't they say sixty people?" The eldest sister originally wanted to call her Pingzi, but when she saw the person behind Zhang Junping, she cleverly changed her name and called her director.
"Sister, you can call me whatever you want, no need to avoid taboos, and besides, you are the director of the furniture factory.
These are the carpenters who came for interviews today, I will bring them here to assess their skills."
"Oh!" The eldest sister nodded.
"Let's start with polishing, sister. Find them a set of tools and let them try their hand."
Eight people demonstrated their polishing skills one by one.
After everyone finished their presentation, Zhang Junping took them directly to the processing workshop without commenting.
"Can you use a chainsaw and an electric planer?"
"I won't!"
"Me neither!"
…
"I used it once!"
The result surprised Zhang Junping. Only one of the eight people knew how to use it, and he only used it once.
"This is a blueprint, can everyone understand it?" Zhang Junping found another blueprint and handed it to eight people.
"I can understand it!"
All eight people nodded.
"Each of you choose the mortise and tenon structure on the drawing and process it. You can use the blanks they have prepared. There are traditional tools over there. Go get it yourself."
Because he wanted to recruit apprentices, Zhang Junping prepared a hundred sets of traditional carpentry tools in advance: adzes, chisels, axes, saws, and various types of planes.
For these 100 sets of carpentry tools, Zhang Junping spent a lot of money, and he spent a lot of money.
Du Meili was the first to walk over and took a ruler, a play set, an ax and two chisels.
The others looked at it and followed suit to get the tools they needed.
Zhang Junping stood aside and watched quietly as eight people processed the mortise and tenon structure.
It wasn't until all eight people had finished processing that Zhang Junping stepped forward to inspect them one by one, but still didn't make any comments.
Then, he took eight sketch pads, including sketch paper, pencils, and meter rulers, and handed them to eight people.
"Did you see that big wardrobe? Draw it." Zhang Junping pointed to a newly assembled big wardrobe and said.
Du Meili rolled her eyes, feeling that Zhang Junping's assessment seemed to be insulting her, but for the sake of work, she did not speak, but silently stepped forward to measure the size of the large wardrobe.
When eight people were painting, Zhang Junping called his eldest brother-in-law over again and explained in a low voice.
The eldest brother-in-law arranged the arrangements according to Zhang Junping's instructions.
After eight people drew the perspective drawing of the large wardrobe, Zhang Junping asked them to write their names on it and then put it away. Still no comments were made.
Then he took them to another house.
This house is a training room specially arranged by Zhang Junping.
"There are one hundred and forty-eight types of mortise and tenon structures in this room. What you have to do now is to write down the names and application parts of these mortise and tenon structures.
Take the exam carefully, this is the last question, and your salary will be determined after the exam is over."
"One hundred and forty-eight types of mortise and tenon joints? How can there be so many?"
"Are there so many? Where are they displayed? You can go and see for yourself." Zhang Junping pointed his finger and said with a smile.
After a brief contact, Zhang Junping also basically understood Du Meili's character, which was a bit shrewd and a bit arrogant.
This time it took a long time, and it was not over until noon.
Zhang Junping temporarily stopped and asked them to finish their meal at the furniture factory before continuing.
Another hour later, Du Meili finished first and handed the sketch pad to Zhang Junping.
"You can now supplement the large wardrobe you drew before, draw a structural diagram, and explain the mortise and tenon structure used in the large wardrobe." Zhang Junping took a look at the sketch pad and said to Du Meili with a smile.
"Can I ask who designed those furniture?"
"I designed it."
"You?" Du Meili glanced at Zhang Junping with suspicion.
"Haha, don't believe it? Once you join the job, you will know that all the furniture here was designed by me.
Now go and supplement the structural diagram of the wardrobe." Zhang Junping did not care about Du Meili's doubts.
What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.
It doesn't matter if you are arrogant, take your time, there will be plenty of time in the future, and I will slowly let you know that there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world.
Du Meili didn't say anything anymore, and directly took the sketch pad and the drawings she had drawn before to supplement the structural diagram of the large wardrobe.

After a while, the other seven carpenters also came over to hand in their test papers.
Well, since it's an assessment, it's naturally a test paper.
Zhang Junping also asked them to supplement the structural diagram of the large wardrobe.
It took until three o'clock in the afternoon to finish the assessment.
"Ahem, um, the assessment for the eight of you has been completed. First of all, congratulations to all of you for passing the assessment.
Now tell me about your salary.
The salary for the five of you, Wang Qiang, Xu Bin, Zhou Meng, Li Shengqiang, and Zhao Pengfei, is tentatively set at thirty thirty per month, and bonuses will be calculated separately.
Li Wenhua, Zhang Jianguo, the salary for you two is tentatively fifty yuan, plus bonuses." Zhang Junping first told the salaries of the seven male carpenters, and then asked: "If you have any comments, you can raise them now.
.”
"Well, what does tentative mean?" Wang Qiang raised his hand and asked.
"Our salary is linked to your skill level. The skills of the five of you are equivalent to a carpenter apprentice who has not yet graduated, so the current salary is thirty yuan.
When your craftsmanship improves and reaches the standards for apprenticeship, you will be able to get the same salary as them.
You two have basically reached the level of becoming a teacher, so we’ll tentatively charge fifty yuan.”
"What criteria do you use to determine whether we are apprentices or graduates?"
"This is the picture you just drew, as well as the test paper you just took to identify the mortise and tenon structure in the training room.
The drawings drawn by the five of you all had more than five errors and omissions, and the number of identified mortise and tenon structures was less than ten. However, you all independently completed the processing of a mortise and tenon component and met the processing standards.
These are the basis.
If you are not convinced, you can take a look at the drawings painted by Li Wenhua and Zhang Jianguo.
There is no omission in their drawings, and they all identified about twenty mortise and tenon structures, which is the standard for starting a master's degree." Zhang Junping took out the drawings they had drawn before and the mortise and tenon structure test paper they wrote and put them aside.
on the table, signaling that they could come up for inspection and comparison.
Wang Qiang and the other five who were designated as apprentices were unconvinced and stepped forward to look at the drawings and test papers. After reading, they all returned to their seats silently.
"What about me?" Du Meili was a little anxious. Why did she have nothing to do after she finished talking?
"If you are willing, you need to take another exam. If you pass, your salary will be one hundred. If you fail, you will get fifty like them." Zhang Junping looked at Du Meili and said with a smile.
"I'll take the exam!" Du Meili agreed without even thinking about it.
If you pass, you can get twice as much salary. If you fail, there is nothing to lose. Only a fool would not take the exam again.
