Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 38 Factory transformation, new contradictions emerge

When Master Chi left and returned, Wu Yuan announced in front of everyone: "This is how the factory recruits people. Let's do the work as quickly as possible. It won't take long before there will be appropriate adjustments."

These words made the old generation secretly relieved.

It even made Master Chi feel slightly ashamed.

Although it said it wasn't hiring, it didn't say why.

But when he wanted to recruit people, Wu Yuan told him and Lao Dai respectively.

Now that we have just hired one person, we no longer recruit anyone. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the problem lies with him or the person he is looking for.

Zhang Gambler, you really killed me!

"Okay, let's get to work."

After Wu Yuan finished speaking, he personally led his three apprentices to work hard.

After more than half a year of training, Zhao Baojun is now able to complete most of the processes of modular cabinets independently, but his proficiency is still somewhat lacking.

As for Ma Mingjun, he didn't know much.

But the skills he mastered, such as cutting boards and planing boards, are all comparable to those of a master craftsman.

Unfortunately, for the slightly more difficult mortise and tenon structure, he was unable to do it and his mind was confused.

Wu Yuan does not insist on this.

After all, this great disciple had such qualifications in his previous life.

It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, it’s that his upper limit is here.

As for Zhu Liubiao, even Ma Mingjun said that he had a good brain but didn't use it very much.

So these two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks can almost equal a skilled carpenter together.

take it easy.

When preaching and teaching, one should have the patience to teach one's own children.

Give your disciples more time.

There is an extra master in the factory.

Instead, Wu Yuan worked hard at the factory for a week.

Within this week, the factory delivered two units of Simmons beds and one unit of high-end modular cabinets.

Wu Yuan also observed that the new Master Chen did not always hang out with Master Chi. Occasionally, he could smoke a cigarette and chat with the older generation with a bad face.

This is an experienced master.

It has both the capacity to accommodate people and the skills to accommodate them.

Therefore, Wu Yuan would often chat with him and exchange some experiences.

Master Chen originally had a high opinion of himself.

In terms of age, he is older than Xiaochi.

In terms of experience, he has more experience than the older generation.

However, after he chatted with Wu Yuan several times, the little bit of pride in his heart disappeared.

"I never expected that Boss Wu would be able to work as a carpenter at such a young age and have such profound insights."

"I studied under Fourth Master Qiao, he taught me a lot."

Master Chen frowned slightly.

He had seen the old man named Fourth Master Qiao, and he was a bit stubborn.

Wu Yuan may not have as profound and far-reaching an understanding of the carpentry profession as he did.

But at the moment, Master Chen didn't point it out and just laughed it off.

It was also within this week that Wu Yuan contacted five or six carpenters from other villages and even the township.

He gave them some samples of the uprights and crossbars of the modular cabinets and the purlins of the Simmons bed, and asked them to make a batch of them and try them out.

Finally, three masters were selected and signed long-term strip processing and supply agreements with them.

Among them is Zhong Wenqiang’s second uncle Zhong Zhenyuan.

There is no doubt that Zhong Zhenyuan was recommended by his fourth brother-in-law Zhong Zhentao.

But from beginning to end, Zhong Zhentao never showed up.

It was all brokered by third brother-in-law Xiong Gang.

After confirming the contract processing, the village factory also made corresponding adjustments.

As long as the deviation between the semi-finished products provided by several OEM masters and the standard is within a reasonable range, it will not hinder subsequent assembly and modeling.

And due to the use of plywood veneer, the original wood board finishing and even some engraving work have been simplified.

All are supplemented by various uniformly printed stickers.

The final combination cabinet saved a lot of time and effort without losing its high-end quality.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of July and the beginning of August.

Wu Yuan settled the wages of the three masters in the factory, and also increased the subsidies for the three apprentices.

"Baojun, you have done a good job. The subsidy has been increased to 100 yuan. Mingjun and Lao Liu, do you both have any objections?"

Ma Mingjun patted Zhu Liubiao and said, "Master, actually Liubiao is also qualified to get 100."

"Can I not see it?" Wu Yuan asked: "The problem is, I not only need to see ability, but also hard work."

"And Ming Jun, if you think more about yourself, can your brain be saved?"

"As a master, I naturally hope that each of you can take charge of your own affairs as soon as possible and start teaching as soon as possible."

Zhao Baojun said doubtfully: "Master, they say that it takes three years and one section for a carpenter to become a carpenter. Are you overestimating us?"

"It never changes without departing from its roots. If you have the opportunity to make other furniture in the future, you will understand if you experience it carefully."

The apprentices were all happy after receiving the subsidy.

Wu Yuan also took the opportunity to settle the account.

After the current OEM model is adopted, the cost has actually increased slightly compared to before.

However, due to simultaneous improvements in efficiency, the factory's overall income still continues to rise.

However, since then, the delivery cycle of orders has become shorter, and the growth rate of subsequent orders has obviously not been able to keep up.

It seems that relying on a few picture albums and word of mouth among customers can no longer keep up with the needs of the OEM model.

The opening of the city's facade is imperative.

Because of this matter, not only my father-in-law had no clue, but even my third brother-in-law had no response.

Realizing this, Wu Yuan took a cigarette and went straight to the third sister's house in Xiawei Village.

It was just after seven o'clock in the evening, it was still dark, and the third brother-in-law Xiong Gang hadn't come back yet.

Wu Xiuhua hasn't even cooked yet.

Looking at the cold pot and cold stove, Wu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Third sister, if Xiao Wu and Xiaowen are not at home, you two won't end up like this, right?"

Wu Xiuhua didn't take it seriously and said: "It's hot and I don't want to eat much. When I get hungry later, I can just roll a pancake with green onions."

Then he asked again: "Brother Yao, have you eaten? If not, I will cook it right away. You and your third brother-in-law will make two cups?"

Wu Yuan had no intention of bothering the third sister.

But at this moment, Xiong Gang came back and kept winking at him and said: "Take two cups, Yaodi."

"Okay, third sister."

Wu Xiuhua heard this and went out to get busy.

Xiong Gang sat down and said sadly: "If you hadn't come here, I wouldn't even be able to eat a hot meal."

"Third brother-in-law, are you having trouble at home? If you have trouble, just tell me if there is anything else you can do with me."

Xiong Gang waved his hand: "It's not difficult at all, it's much better than before. It's just because the children are not at home, it's not worth making a decent meal. If you cook too much, it will go bad, so I just eat some casually."

Not long after, peanuts, mixed cucumbers, scrambled eggs with persimmons, and roasted pork with green beans were all served on the table.

After Wu Yuan and Xiong Gang finished eating for a few times, they started talking about business.

"I've been asking about the facade. In response to the policy from above, the department store has recently allocated part of its counters to be contracted by self-employed people. I heard that there are a lot of people robbing it, and it's impossible to get it without a note. Approval of the note has nothing to do with me.

Looking for."

"Another one, the business license matter is easy to deal with. But it's best to find someone to avoid being targeted by those who want to take down the business. After all, the current policy is unclear and there are too many ways to interpret it."

"Okay, third brother-in-law, help me sort out the relationship, and I will come forward."
