Chapter 143 Zhang Junping's point of view (seeking a monthly ticket)
No one expected Zhang Junping to be so tough. The few people who originally stood up to protest suddenly felt as if they had eaten shit, and their faces turned red.
"You wait, if you dare to fire me, you will wait for me..." Hu Yuan finished his sentence, turned around and greeted the brothers who had just followed him, "Let's go, I don't want to stay here, I will have my own."
My place···········”
At some point, two of the four brothers who had just stood up with him quietly retreated.
"You..." Hu Yuan's face turned livid, as if he had just eaten shit and been raped by a dog.
"Brother Hu, you know, I have four younger brothers and sisters, and I rely on my mother to make money alone...I can't lose this job..." A tall and thin man explained in a low voice
road.
"Brother Hu, I also have younger brothers and sisters to support..."
"Okay, okay! You guys are very good!" Hu Yuan said and left the furniture factory angrily. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would vomit blood.
It didn't matter that he lost his job, but being betrayed by his brother made Hu Yuan want to vomit blood.
A bunch of idiots, as long as everyone works together, why should they be afraid of Zhang Junping? At the very least, they have to force him to pay overtime... The result is... a bunch of idiots.
"Is there anyone else who wants to leave? If you want to leave, hurry up. If you don't want to leave, let me know when you go home tonight. Starting from tomorrow night, you will work two hours of overtime every night." Zhang Junping didn't care at all about Hu Yuan's threat and bit him.
Dogs that don't bark and dogs that bark happily are usually pugs.
There is a kind of dog in Beijing called Jingba. This kind of dog has long lost its teeth and can only bark, so it is loved by women and children.
After the training, Zhang Junping called Master Du, Zhao Jiazhu, Qian Manfu, Zheng Fugui and others to the studio.
"Master Du, the elders of you are all masters, and you have brought out many apprentices. The way you brought up your apprentices cannot be said to be wrong. After all, you have brought up your apprentices like this for thousands of years. But now that the times are developing, you
It turns out that the way of bringing up apprentices needs to be changed.
Society is developing rapidly, and so are our furniture factories. A large number of orders far exceed our production capacity are generated every day, so we need more carpenters and need to speed up the training of carpenter apprentices to cope with the new orders.
"
"Director Zhang, this..."
"I know this is a bit difficult for the masters, but time waits for no one. The country is reforming and opening up, and the economy is developing rapidly. We don't talk about catching up with Europe and the United States. We only talk about developing new Chinese-style furniture and allowing traditional carpentry skills to flourish here.
Why not be eliminated in the market changes and continue to bloom vitality? Step by step will definitely not work."
"Director Zhang, just tell us what you need us to do!"
"Actually, it's very simple. In the past, when we learned arts, we paid attention to three years of study and two years of service in the old society. In New China, although we no longer pay attention to three years of study and two years of service, we still have to test it and let the apprentices do it.
Do some chores to temper your mind.
We can now skip the test step and start directly by teaching them to be familiar with the use of tools, understand the properties of wood, and learn the techniques for making mortise and tenon structures."
"Director Zhang doesn't test his character. If in the future..." Zhao Jiazhu was a little worried.
Zhang Junping is worried about Zhao Jiazhu next year. What if the apprentices he teaches, after learning to be carpenters, stop working in the furniture factory and go to other furniture factories or work alone?
This cannot be eliminated. After ten years of testing, those who should leave will still leave. Just look away from such things.
Zhang Junping smiled calmly, "Haha, you are just preaching to us so that you can go out and compete with us for business in the future, right?
It's okay, we're not saying that we won't test our xinxing at all. We will test it while teaching. In three months, we can get a rough idea.
So what if I teach a white-eyed wolf in the end?
As long as he learns the carpenter's trade, it doesn't matter even if he stops working for me in the future and runs out to do it on his own and competes with me for business.
What I want is the prosperity of the entire traditional furniture industry, not the dominance of my family.
A branch blooming alone is not spring, but white flowers blooming together fill the garden.
Therefore, whether he goes out to work alone or competes with me for business, as long as he accepts our training now and accepts the ideas about new Chinese furniture, everything he does in the future will contribute to the prosperity of traditional furniture craftsmanship.
The furniture market is so big that even a thousand more furniture factories of my size wouldn’t be able to eat it all.”
"Director Zhang, you are so kind and generous. It's really admirable."
"You are truly worthy of being a disciple of the young master's family. The young master's family also said similar things back then."
"That's right, my young master said back then that there is a lot of food in the pot of furniture and he can't eat it alone. If more people eat together, the food will taste more delicious."
"Master Du, you guys please do some hard work!" Zhang Junping said hard to Master Du and others with his hands clasped in fists, ending the conversation.
After sending Master Du and others away, Zhang Junping dived into the warehouse and found an elm Taishi chair from the Qing Dynasty.
One of the legs of this elm Taishi chair was broken, and only half of the backrest was left.
Restoration is not that difficult. What is difficult is finding the right wood and maintaining the original flavor of the Taishi chair after restoration.
After checking, Zhang Junping came to the place where the remaining pieces of furniture were stored.
For more than a week, Du Meili has classified all the furniture fragments.
There are two major categories of furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and then they are further subdivided according to the different materials of the furniture.
There is a sign in front of each pile of furniture fragments, which states the material and age.
Elm furniture is very popular among the people in the north. The representative furniture of Lu style furniture is elm furniture. The stock is quite large. In the past, you could basically find a pile of elm furniture in the homes of any landlord or wealthy businessman, or even in the homes of ordinary people.
You can also find several pieces of elm furniture.
Therefore, the piles of elm furniture pieces in the warehouse are several times larger than the piles of furniture pieces made of other materials.
Zhang Junping quickly found the suitable remaining parts.
Once you find the replaceable parts, the next job will be much easier.
This is a bit like a surgical operation. First match the model and look for furniture parts with the same material and similar or similar patterns.
After finding the parts, you can either modify the size of the parts or adjust the size of the furniture according to the size of the parts, so that the size of the parts and the size of the furniture become consistent.
Disassemble the furniture, replace and assemble the modified furniture parts to the furniture, and then assemble the entire furniture.
Polish it a little, then iron it with wax again, and it's done.
Such a simple repair left Zhang Junping with no sense of accomplishment.
After putting down the restored Qing Dynasty elm Taishi chair, Zhang Junping prepared for a more difficult one.
Just bring out a late Qing Dynasty rosewood Arhat couch.
This rosewood Arhat couch is from Guangzhou Furniture, with an inlaid marble backboard in a rosewood pattern.
The back panel of the Luohan couch is inlaid with three round marble pieces.
By this time, the three pieces of marble had long been broken, leaving only some marble fragments still embedded in the backboard of the Luohan couch.
