"Okay, I will explain this much. You can vote by a show of hands whether the old furniture belongs to me personally or to the furniture factory.
You don’t have to worry about offending me or anything. If you say something unpleasant, I hope you will object. Those old furniture belong to me!” Zhang Junping didn’t give them a chance to think at all. After explaining, he directly asked for a show of hands.
To put it more selfishly, Zhang Junping was really reluctant to return all those old furniture to the factory.
After all, many of the so-called old furniture in their eyes can be sold for sky-high prices in future generations.
That pile of old furniture may be worth more than the entire furniture factory twenty years from now.
“If you agree that the recycled old furniture belongs to me personally, please raise your hands!”
After a long silence, everyone raised their hands.
Only the eldest sister and Zhao Wenlong did not raise their hands.
"Director, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just..." Li Guohua explained with a smile.
"Yes, we still believe in your vision, director..." Wang Jianguo also explained.
"Yes, yes! Director, we believe in your vision..."
Everyone opened their mouths to explain. After all, the goal was achieved, so naturally everyone didn't mind saying nice things.
"Okay, no need to explain, I understand! As I said just now, I am only happy if you are willing to give me these old furniture.
I’m going to treat you to roast duck in Quanjude tonight!” Zhang Junping interrupted everyone’s embarrassing explanations with a smile.
"Yes, yes! Director, we just see that you like these old furniture, so we are embarrassed to take away their love..." Li Guohua explained again.
Zhang Junping ignored him and said directly: "Next, let's talk about the factory's next production plan!
The first is the procurement of raw materials!
Factory Director Wang, you are in charge of purchasing, and your tasks will be very heavy in the next period of time!"
"Director, don't worry! I, Old Wang, don't dare to say anything else. If you want to talk about purchasing, I am familiar with lumber factories all over the country!" Wang Jianguo stood up and assured after hearing this.
After this merger, there were five top factory directors who remained, two secretaries, and seven or eight deputy directors.
This has also resulted in the furniture factory's management being somewhat bloated.
"Lao Wang, the raw materials we need are not available in China. You need to go abroad to purchase them in the United States, Canada, India and other countries.
It’s a pity that our country is currently at war with Vietnam, otherwise going to Vietnam to purchase wood would be a very good choice!”
"Ah?! Are you going abroad?" Wang Jianguo said in surprise.
When Wang Jianguo heard that he was going abroad, or to the United States or Canada, he was still so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
In the 1980s and 1990s, many people dreamed of going abroad. In order to go abroad, they did all kinds of fancy things.
It has also created many writers, screenwriters, directors, and stars.
"Next, I plan to set up a classical furniture factory to specialize in the production of classical furniture.
These classical furniture are mainly for export!
Therefore, I plan to use black walnut from North America as the material of the furniture.
This kind of wood has a relatively large output, beautiful wood grain, hard texture, good stability, and is not easy to deform. It is a good material for making high-end furniture.
I plan to use black walnut furniture as the flagship product of our factory in the future.”
"Director, I don't know what the black walnut you are talking about is like, but I have a question.
That is foreign exchange. Our furniture factory has no foreign exchange.
If we want to apply for foreign exchange to purchase wood, it may be difficult!" Wang Jianguo had already woken up from the surprise and said with a smile.
Wang Jianguo's words have already saved Zhang Junping's face. It is not only difficult, but also impossible.
The country's foreign exchange reserves are limited, and every penny of foreign exchange must be used wisely to purchase technology, equipment or materials that are urgently needed in the country.
Foreign exchange reserves are so tight, what kind of black walnut do you actually want to buy?
This is the reform and opening up. Five or six years ago, I had to let you know why the flowers were so red.
"Well, Director Wang doesn't have to worry about foreign exchange. I can temporarily lend the factory a sum of money and then pay it back after the furniture is sold." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Then there's no problem!" When Wang Jianguo heard that Zhang Junping was willing to lend foreign currency to the factory, he nodded happily and agreed.
"In addition to black walnut, we also have to go to India, Myanmar, and Laos to purchase small-leaf rosewood, rosewood, and rosewood."
"Director, why do you still need to buy small-leaf rosewood?"
“In the future, classical furniture in furniture factories will be divided into three grades!
As the main product, black walnut belongs to the third grade.
Siamese rosewood belongs to the second grade and is a luxury product.
Regarding luxury goods, we must learn from those capitalists and learn their routines.
A file must be created for each piece of furniture. The origin of the raw materials must be recorded in the file. Even the age of the tree must be clearly recorded. In addition, the buyer's information must be recorded in the file.
A nameplate will also be made on the furniture to indicate the furniture manufacturer, production time and other information."
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. This is only the second grade of furniture? What is the first grade? What should it look like?
“The first-grade furniture is all made of small-leaf red sandalwood or Hainan huanghuali.
Globally limited edition!
We only produce nine pieces of each style of furniture."
As soon as Zhang Junping finished speaking, there was silence in the reception room, except for the sound of swallowing saliva.
"Director, there are only nine pieces left. How much will they cost?"
"How much does it cost?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Let's put it this way, for those foreign luxury goods, a cowhide bag can be sold for the price of ten cows.
Even some top-notch luxury goods can be sold for the price of a hundred cows."
"How much does it cost to sell ten cows for a pack? Isn't this... this... too expensive?"
"Yeah! These capitalists are so wasteful!"
Everyone condemned the capitalists' extravagance and squandering.
But what can't be hidden in the eyes is envy.
"Well, this is just our ideal. We still have a long way to go before we can achieve this goal." Zhang Junping knocked on the sea of tea to wake everyone up.
"Director Li, you will organize the selection of masters to establish a classical furniture workshop.
After the selection of personnel is completed, let them study the old furniture and practice repairing furniture first."
"I know, director!" Li Guohua nodded in agreement.
"Others will not be assigned tasks for the time being.
They all went to Xiangjiang for a half-year training.
After the training is over, I will arrange for professionals to conduct business assessments on everyone, and only those who pass the assessment can start working."
"Going to Xiangjiang for training?" Everyone felt happy again.
I went to Xiangjiang for training for half a year, and now everyone no longer envied Wang Jianguo and Li Guohua.
