rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 527 I have some requirements on materials

"Is it Boss Wei?"

When Chen Li got off the Jinbei car, the first thing he saw was the furniture factory owner who cost him his life in his previous life.

To be honest~ If he had just been reborn, Chen Li would have still had some resentment towards this person.

After all, if I hadn't sent this guy away in the first place, I probably wouldn't have been hit by a car.

But what can I say~ If it hadn’t been for that accident, Chen Li would not be in the situation he is in now.

So if you want to say how much Chen Li hates this guy, it doesn't matter.

All I can say is that when Chen Li saw this person, he felt a little weird in his heart.

"Ah~ I am Wei Shuanglin, who are you?"

At this moment, Wei Shuanglin was a little confused. He didn't recognize the people in front of him at all.

"Two sets?"

It's a pity that as a door-to-door son-in-law, he can't complain about these things at home. Instead, he can have a chat with Chen Li, an outsider who has nothing to do with him, after getting drunk.

Many people may not be aware of it. In fact, the term "home-to-home son-in-law" is not a good term.

In 2000, Wei Shuanglin had not yet become the unscrupulous businessman he later became, so he chose to tell the truth about Chen Li's request.

Wei Shuanglin looked at Chen Li with some embarrassment. He never expected that this young man would have such a high level of difficulty from the beginning.

The main reason why Wei Shuanglin had been working for a certain brand before that was because Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory focused on traditional Chinese furniture.

"Come on, smoke, by the way, please come inside~ Please come inside."

When Wei Shuanglin's father-in-law taught him the craft, he didn't teach him this at all.

"Boss Wei, you are running a furniture store, so you should know best."

Under Wei Shuanglin's explanation, Chen Li understood that what he said was a bit vague, so he took out the list he had written in advance from his pocket and handed it over.

Chen Li sighed a little~ In his previous life, he had seen the so-called Qiangong Babu bed on the Internet. This time he planned to gather a handful of wool here in Wei Shuanglin, so he wanted to get a set of Chinese furniture.

In fact, Qiangong Babu Bed is not that difficult for the older generation of craftsmen, but now it is 2000, and those older generation of craftsmen are getting old!

"Basically, we can make almost all the styles you have seen in the furniture mall."

Chen Li was a little surprised, because in his previous life, he had heard from Wei Shuanglin that the most expensive product in their furniture factory was this Qiangong Babu bed.

To put it simply, classical furniture can be roughly divided into five categories!

Bed ~ table ~ chairs and stools ~ cabinet shelves and the remaining miscellaneous items!

There appear to be five categories, but in fact each category is subdivided into many smaller categories.

And just when Wei Shuanglin was about to accept his fate and continue to make OEM products for others, suddenly, traditional Chinese furniture became very popular.

If it were more than ten years later, this guy might just agree to it, and then kill Chen Li without saying a word. In the end, he might just use an ordinary bed to deal with Chen Li.

In fact, many traditional crafts have almost declined like this.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to customize a complete set of furniture. In fact, the furniture factory Wei Shuanglin does not have the conditions.

"We may not be able to make this Qiangong Babu bed!"

Even if Chen Li could afford it, his furniture factory would still be incomplete.

"When he got married before, he ordered furniture from you."

"I have a list here, Boss Wei, you can take a look."

But having said that~ I can’t say there are no such surrogate sons-in-law like Wei Shuanglin, but they are definitely very few.

To be precise, Wei Shuanglin was actually the son-in-law of the original owner of this furniture factory.

The reason why he took over the furniture factory was that, in addition to having learned the craft of carpentry, another reason was that his father-in-law was ill.

"If the quality of the finished products in the furniture store is not good, I won't be interested in them at all."

Fortunately~ Although Wei Shuanglin had become an unscrupulous businessman at that time, he was still a fastidious person after all and did not let Chen Li, the nightclub service staff, suffer.

But it didn't matter. Anyway, Chen Li only knew Wei Shuanglin, his son-in-law.

"I plan to make one set of classical furniture~ no, two sets!"

In fact, Wei Shuanglin's father-in-law can do this, but now his father-in-law cannot do carpentry work at all.

At that time, Wei Shuanglin almost always chose to go to the nightclub run by Chen Li whenever he wanted to socialize. There were even two times when Wei Shuanglin was in a hurry and didn't bring enough money with him, so Chen Li paid the bill for him.

That is to say, later Wei Shuanglin did develop the furniture factory well, and his sister's family as shareholders finally ceased operations.

Chen Li estimated that he might have caught a cold. The main reason was that the weather in Hong Kong Island was very different from that in Sichuan Province.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuanglin didn’t have this skill!

"I can do this~ This is no problem!"

"We also went to the furniture store to have a look before, but what should we say?"

"Is someone in the family getting married? Or has the family purchased a new house?"

And his master carpenter was actually the original owner of the furniture factory.

So the two things Chen Li said seemed a bit nonsense.

But to be honest, people who really have a cold can’t feel it at all by touching their forehead.

After learning that business was coming to his door, Wei Shuanglin's face instantly burst into a bright smile, and before Chen Li could open the cigarette, he had already taken out a box of Zhonghua from his pocket.

After all, there are women and even little girls here, so they are definitely not looking for trouble.

"Cough~cough!"

For example, table cases are divided into Kang table, Kang table, Kang table; Incense table; Wine table, half table; Square table; Table table, case; desk, book case, painting table, painting case, etc.

It is not that these skills themselves have been eliminated by the times, but that the consumption level of their skills is simply not enough to be accepted by contemporary people.

In fact, what Chen Li didn't know was that the reason why Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory had Qiangong Babu beds twenty years later was because Wei Shuanglin hired two master craftsmen at that time.

Moreover, the reason why Wei Shuanglin agreed to marry into his family was because there was no one else in his family. He was the only one living alone, and it didn't matter whether he wanted to marry into his family or not.

But Wei Shuanglin was different. He was indeed forced by life to work as a carpenter's apprentice in his master's house. Later, he was recruited by his master to become his son-in-law.

"Uh okay then!"

To put it mildly, that is called a son-in-law. To put it mildly, the so-called door-to-door son-in-law is more like a free long-term worker who does not need to pay any wages.

When Chen Li helped Wei Shuanglin pay the bill, he was already prepared that he would not be able to get the money back.

Chen Li calculated in his mind that the reason why he approached Wei Shuanglin was actually not just because Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory made Chinese furniture well.

Later, many film and television works and even online novels would also be written in this capacity, but in fact, the real door-to-door son-in-law was not treated as well as those in those film and television works or online novels.

The first item on the list immediately made Wei Shuanglin tense up.

But what Wei Shuanglin can be sure of is that the other party should not have any malicious intentions.

“Then let’s make a canopy bed!”

"Boss Chen, do you have any requirements for the style? There is no problem with this. We have pictures of the finished product here, you can take a look."

No one else~ Because the money Chen Li earned from Wei Shuanglin far exceeded this figure.

Wei Shuanglin is actually from this town, but his parents died when he was young, and his uncle sent him to learn the craft from a carpenter.

According to what Wei Shuanglin told Chen Li when he was drunk in his previous life, when his father-in-law gave him the furniture factory to take care of, it even aroused great dissatisfaction from his wife's sister's family, and even his daughter-in-law and his sister's family later argued with each other.

Totally falling out!

"Yes, yes, we can customize furniture here."

Although Chen Li didn't know what Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory looked like at this time in 2000, looking at the small scale of the furniture factory now, Chen Li could guess the meaning of Wei Shuanglin's words with his toes.

Wei Shuanglin in 2000 was actually less than thirty years old.

A complete set of Chinese-style furniture~ If you really want to count it carefully, the items are really not that small.

"If it's an ordinary step-down bed, our factory can actually make it."

And he, Wei Shuanglin, is still far from this old-fashioned classic technique!

In fact, it’s not that it’s technically difficult, but that in modern society, these older generation craftsmanship are simply not popular.

In fact, most of the adopted sons-in-law's life is not good, it can even be said to be a bit bad.

And if this happened a few times, Wei Shuanglin would become very familiar with Chen Li.

However, Chen Li did not expose Wei Shuanglin, because the purpose of his visit this time was to order a batch of traditional Chinese furniture.

"But what you want is a Qiangong Babu bed. Our skills here may not be able to achieve this."

And combined with the other furniture items on the list, this order is expected to make a lot of money.

"Our family has built two new houses, so we want to buy some furniture."

"Uh~Can't you do it?"

"I don't know what kind of furniture you want, Boss Chen. I, Old Wei, are not bragging~!"

But in fact, Wei Shuanglin is also a little dissatisfied, because he almost supports the development of the furniture factory alone, and his wife's sister's family can share 30% of the profits every year without doing anything, which also makes Wei Shuanglin complain again and again.

He spent a long time wandering around the furniture store with his family today. Although he wore a woolen coat, the thermal insulation effect of this thing was much worse than that of a down jacket.

"Oh~ Boss Chen, you are right."

"Just recently, a friend of mine got married. He said that he ordered a batch of furniture from you last year and it was fine~"

"No way~ I just asked for the address and came directly to the door. Ahem!"

Especially techniques like the Qiangong Babu Bed, let alone modern techniques, were placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties and were not techniques that could be used by small households.

"Well~ except for this, we have no problems here."

According to modern people's understanding, the so-called complete set of Chinese-style furniture often includes a bed, a table, a table and its matching tables, chairs, benches, etc.

In modern times, regardless of the decline of Chinese furniture, the cost of a Qiangongbabu bed alone is not acceptable to ordinary people.

"It's not a matter of style. Of course, I definitely have demand for style, but we'll talk about this later."

"Oh~ right!"

Chen Li took out a cigarette from his pocket and joked casually while opening the cigarette.

"Hey~ Qiangong Babu bed?"

Chen Li waved his hand and signaled Wei Shuanglin to listen to him.

"Bosses, what kind of furniture do you need to order?"

This didn't seem to be due to the dust from the furniture factory. He touched his forehead with his hand while talking.

"You guys should be able to do this, right?"

In nightclubs, it is almost impossible for staff to help customers pay their bills, but Chen Li helped Wei Shuanglin pay twice.

"We sell it at the ex-factory price here, but they sell it for several times as soon as it changes hands."

I don't know if it was because of the heavy dust in the furniture factory, but Chen Li suddenly coughed inexplicably, but then he changed the topic to the purpose of his trip.

Although Chen Li is in good health, this cold sometimes comes just as it comes.

Because before 2006, Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory had actually been manufacturing for a certain brand.

And even so, his wife gave him two sons, one with his wife's surname and the other with his Wei surname of Wei Shuanglin.

"Cough cough~ cough cough!"

This actually has something to do with economic development. Many skills that were amazing in the past have almost been lost in modern times.

And the most important thing is that Chen Li remembers very clearly that before 2006, Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory did not develop very smoothly.

But why is Wei Shuanglin now the person in charge of this factory?

Therefore, Chen Li knew very well the meaning of Wei Shuanglin's words. This guy was just bragging.

"I have another request for these two sets of furniture."

But when Chen Li heard his words, he had a different feeling.

It’s not that Wei Shuanglin’s furniture factory didn’t make money in these years~ but it didn’t make much money!

"That's right!"

"Actually, to tell you the truth, most of the furniture in the furniture city is produced by factories like ours."

"Occasionally, some brands of furniture look okay, ahem~ but the price is basically like a rip-off."

Wei Shuanglin thought that Chen Li had some requirements for product design. This was a normal requirement, so he didn't think much about it.

If nothing else, at least when people in this town get married, many of them will choose to go to his furniture factory to order furniture.

Regardless of whether Chen Li has that demand, these two sets of classical furniture alone are not affordable for ordinary people in terms of value.

"No~ you listen to me."

Wei Shuanglin here didn't notice anything strange about Chen Li. Compared with Chen Li's health, he was only concerned about whether he could get an order today.

In fact, this is not a lie, because Wei Shuanglin's furniture factory already has this business.

"Um, Boss Chen, I'm sorry!"

"Uh~ That's right, I was introduced here by a friend."

Although he runs a furniture factory, it is normal for someone to come looking for him, but the feeling of seeing a large group of people coming down is somewhat strange.

Wei Shuanglin quickly agreed. The cost of the canopy bed was naturally not as good as the Qiangong Babu bed, but it was also much more expensive than an ordinary bed, and the corresponding profit would be higher.

But from beginning to end, both his master and his wife were actually quite good to Wei Shuanglin.

"Boss Chen~ Let me tell you the truth!"

Not to mention him, not even his father-in-law has mastered some traditional crafts.

Basically, if it weren't for the pressure of life, almost no one would be willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law.

That's because Wei Shuanglin's wife is his master's daughter.

At that time, Hainan huanghuali and traditional mahogany furniture began to be popular in China, and it was at that time that Wei Shuanglin launched his own brand, and after that, he even sold his products to overseas markets.

So in Wei Shuanglin's opinion, Chen Li's casual nonsense meant that business was on his way.

But there was still something to be said, so Chen Li took a sip of hot tea and looked at Wei Shuanglin opposite.

In the middle, Wei Shuanglin also tried to transform~but in the end the transformation failed.

Wei Shuanglin took the list and looked at it, then he was immediately startled.

After finishing speaking, Chen Li started coughing again. At this time, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

And depending on the needs, there are often matching cabinets, dressing tables, etc.

"Uh~ Boss Chen, if you want to order a complete set, then the furniture will be quite big!"

Wei Shuanglin actually made a lot of money by doing OEM work for others, but compared with the time when he later made his own brand and even sold it overseas, the gap was not the slightest bit.

After finishing the busy work of serving tea and pouring water, Wei Shuanglin then asked Chen Li and his party about the real purpose.

"Dongzi~ Hurry up and bring a pot of boiling water to make tea~!"

Chen Li suddenly coughed again, and this time he clearly felt that he might have a cold.

A door-to-door son-in-law is also called a door-to-door son-in-law. A more refined term is called a "brother-in-law".

"Ah~ I was a little vague."

Just a few years ago, Wei Shuanglin's father-in-law, the former head of the furniture factory, underwent a major operation due to illness, and then the furniture factory was handed over to Wei Shuanglin.

But now the furniture factory, let alone any masters, only has one apprentice, Wei Shuanglin.

"That's right~ these two sets of furniture!"

"I have some requirements on materials!"

"One of the sets, I want to use huanghuali!"

"And the other set is made of mahogany!"
