Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 188 Welcome the Asian Games and prepare for a rainy day (3k)

Xi Susu didn't expect it either.

She just said it casually and got a positive response from her boss.

So I racked my brains to squeeze out the fragmented thoughts and ideas I usually have in my daily life.

Messy and confusing.

Wu Yuan frowned upon hearing this.

This kid has some ideas, but not many.

Just adding sofa towels, sofa pillows, and changing skirt designs are not new tricks.

At most it's a new posture.

But this also reminded Wu Yuan.

It’s time for Xingwang Furniture Factory’s products to be upgraded to adapt to new changes in the market.

As for Xi Susu, the successor, at least he knows how to use his brain.

Wu Yuan felt that he could take over Lin Miaomiao's class, but he still needed to focus on training.

Given time, it shouldn't be a problem to shoulder the burden of Xingwang Furniture Factory.

After all, she could even get used to such a heavy burden.

Just then, the phone in the finance office rang.

As soon as Zhao Guo picked up the call, she handed over the phone and said, "Boss, this is for you."

Wu Yuan picked up the phone and heard it was his third brother-in-law, Xiong Gang.

On the phone, Xiong Gang said straight to the point: "Headmaster Bian heard that you are back and wants to have a meal together."

Listening to this voice, the third brother-in-law must have made the call alone.

Wu Yuan asked directly: "Third brother-in-law, do you know what's going on?"

Xiong Gang guessed: "I'm not sure, but it probably has something to do with the silk reeling factory."

Wu Yuan guessed Bian Xiaosheng's motives in an instant, but his third brother-in-law acted as the middleman.

He couldn't refuse this dinner.

However, when I think that the silk reeling factory was finally completed, it was profitable, and it indeed promoted the development of the entire township, it feels a lot more balanced.

"Now that Fan's restaurant is gone, where are you going to eat?"

"I'll be the host at the county guest house."

"How can I let you do this?" Wu Yuan said decisively: "Third brother-in-law, just be responsible for organizing the affairs. I will take care of it and arrive on time."

"Then at six o'clock tonight?"

"OK."

After hanging up the phone from Xiong Gang, Wu Yuan waved his hand and said, "You all should be busy, I'll go to the woodworking workshop to have a look."

Xi Susu first walked to the sewing workshop. When she saw Wu Yuan walking away, she slipped back and asked Zhao Guodao: "Sister Guoguo, did I behave very badly just now?"

Zhao Guo said frankly: "At least it's not good, but for you, it's pretty good."

"Well what does that mean!"

"Because your brain is somewhere else."

"Sister Guoguo!" Xi Susu stamped her feet in annoyance, and then walked away angrily: "Ignore you, you always laugh at others!"

When Xi Susu walked away, Zhao Guo lowered her head and looked at her chest.

How am I laughing at you? I don’t know how much I envy you!

Before entering the woodworking workshop, Wu Yuan had already unpacked a pack of Xinhuazi.

After entering the door, he called "Master", then a circle of smoke was dispersed, and then the master and the apprentice went to the yard outside to talk.

"Master, why don't you go to Shanghai to help me? I've been waiting for you to help me take charge of the overall situation."

"I'm old and don't want to move." Fourth Master Qiao let Wu Yuan get angry and said: "Besides, should you just throw away this trouble at home?"

Wu Yuan took the opportunity to say: "I am also worried about this matter. At this rate, I am afraid that orders will decline again before the end of the year."

Fourth Master Qiao blew out the smoke and said: "Flowers can't bloom forever, let alone a factory?"

Wu Yuan spread his hands and said: "The order is gone, it doesn't matter if I make less money. The key is that there are so many masters, what should I do?"

These words immediately touched the master's destiny.

When the masters came over, many of them came to Fourth Master Qiao's door to ask for help.

If the factory's orders decline and there is not so much work left, who will be allowed to leave and who will not be allowed to leave?

Thinking about this is a big headache.

After Fourth Master Qiao took a few puffs of cigarette in front of the door, he said: "I don't understand sales and orders. But when it comes to division of labor, we will do whatever you want, no matter what."

What I was waiting for was Master's words.

In fact, after talking to Xi Susu, Wu Yuan already had some idea.

After smoking two more cigarettes with Fourth Master Qiao, Ma Mingchao drove to the village headquarters.

"Just in time, take me to the county." Wu Yuan said, waving goodbye to Fourth Master Qiao and getting into the car.

After Santana left Liyuan Village, Wu Yuan suddenly remembered: "Let's go to the countryside first and go to Fan's house."

Not long after, the silver Santana stopped in front of the Fan family's small building.

The once bright and fresh signboard of "Fan's Restaurant" has become dilapidated, swaying in the autumn wind and making a rustling sound.

The small building that was once brightly lit has become extremely dim.

Wu Yuan got out of the car, stood at the door and shouted several times: "Is there anyone there?"

After a long while, Lao Fan's wife slowly walked out. Wu Yuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to recognize her on the spot.

His eyes were cloudy and his hair was gray.

It seems like he has aged more than ten years in half a year.

Old Fan's wife walked up to Wu Yuanyuan, recognized him, and said: "It turns out to be Boss Wu, please come sit down in the room."

Wu Yuan followed him in with mixed emotions, and saw Old Fan's wife hurriedly pouring tea and looking for cigarettes.

After searching for a long time, I only found a half-packed one at the front door, which had been unsealed for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, stop working." Wu Yuan took out the 600 yuan that Fan Bingbing brought from his pocket and said, "This is the 600 yuan that Bingbing asked me to bring back. Do you want to know if it's a lot less?"

Old Fan's wife took it gratefully and held it in her hand, but she didn't order it.

"Is Boss Fan okay?"

"Oh, it's so good. Can it be better there?"

"Can you come out before the end of the year?"

"It will be ruined even if it comes out. What else can this society do?"

Wu Yuan smacked his lips, but he really couldn't say anything to comfort him.

In the face of such a family that has gone through great changes, any words are feeble.

"Sister-in-law, Bingbing is doing very well in Shanghai, don't worry."

At this time, the cloudy eyes of Lao Fan's daughter-in-law revealed a glimmer of light: "Bingbing has met such a good person like you, Boss Wu. Lao Fan and I are grateful to you. Thank you, Boss Wu..."

Leaving Fan's house, Wu Yuan looked out the window at the withered streets with a lump in his throat.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Over the past year, private companies have been in trouble, foreign companies have stagnated, and township and village enterprises have been dragged down by triangular debt.

It seems that no one can survive alone.

A small place like Beigang seems to have lost its vitality and returned to before liberation overnight.

When we arrived at the county department store, the popularity was even worse.

Even if the department store just spent a lot of money to replace the escalators, it can't save it.

Wu Yuan suddenly realized that in a small place like Beigang, the style and quality of furniture were second to none.

The key is that ordinary people no longer have the desire to consume.

This is the big problem.

After taking the escalator to the fifth floor, the popularity is almost back to when it first opened in the department store.

The difference was that Yang Chenyu was full of energy at that time.

Unlike now, when Chen Ya and I were doing the housework, they didn't even see him appear, and they just fell flat when they saw him.

In the end, Chen Ya discovered him first, and then Yang Chenyu came over.

"Sister, based on your communication with customers, are the styles of our furniture outdated and have too few styles?"

Yang Chenyu held the lower handful in his hand, lying on the counter with a lazy look and said: "There are people who say this. But I don't think it is the main reason. The main reason is that the customer flow is low!"

As he said that, Yang Chenyu threw over a recording form.

It can be seen that my sister-in-law's order rate has been increasing since she first stood at the counter.

The skill of tongue blooming lotus is also increasing day by day.

But I can't stand it. In the past few months, passenger traffic has dropped sharply.

No matter how high the order rate is, it will not help.

This somewhat confirms Wu Yuan's guess.

But it's not enough.

After drinking the notebook and throwing it back to Yang Chenyu, Wu Yuan left without looking back.

Yang Chenyu was still asking from behind: "Brother-in-law, don't you stay for a meal?"

Wu Yuan said without looking back: "No, I'll go to Big Brother's place to eat."

Two hours later, we arrived at the Xingwang Furniture Store in Beiyin.

I met Yang Ben and his wife having lunch.

As soon as Yang Ben saw him coming, he immediately stood up and said, "I didn't say anything before I came. There is no preparation for this."

"Why don't you let your sister-in-law buy some vegetables and we can have a few drinks?"

Wu Yuan waved his hand: "I can just eat whatever I want. I have to eat with Bian Xiaosheng in the evening."

Li Yun immediately went to get a bowl of rice and said: "Brother-in-law, there is no food, so you can make do with it."

The three of them were eating and chatting while eating.

"Brother, the passenger flow in the county has dropped sharply. How is the situation in the city?"

"I heard about it. But the urban area is fine, the passenger flow has dropped a bit. But everyone comes because of its reputation, and the order rate is high."

"Are there any new requirements for furniture styles, such as pursuing the fashion and foreign style of big cities in the south?"

Without waiting for Yang Ben to respond, Li Yun said first: "Yes, there are some, but not many. But I think our furniture is mainly made of fabrics, which is really too single, and there is not much choice."

This problem is easy to solve.

Wu Yuan has all kinds of styles in his mind, and Mandife even has ready-made ones that he can learn from.

Just graft some western style and trendy elements and it will be enough.

Simply finish your meal.

People came to the store, and the couple began to work.

Wu Yuan went out directly, refusing to let Ma Mingchao drive to follow him, and strolled down the street.

The furniture is easy to make.

Once consumer confidence wanes, it is difficult to revive it.

This is just like when a middle-aged person feels powerless.

At this moment, a panda poster posted on the wall of a store caught his eye.

Panda Panpan?

Wu Yuan immediately thought of the Asian Games next September.

It was a grand event, and the authorities relied on this event to revive the spirit of the entire nation.

In the end, it did achieve the desired effect.

Wu Yuan had an idea. Isn't this the powerful medicine to regain his glory?

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked back.

Returning to the door of Yang Ben's store, he said goodbye directly: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving first."

Li Yunruo hesitated and said, "Why don't you sit down for a while?"

"No, no, no."

Watching the silver Santana go away, Li Yun asked curiously: "How come his uncle seems to have changed into a different person in the blink of an eye?"

Yang Ben was also surprised and said casually: "Maybe I have figured it out, thought it through, and figured it out!"
