In her previous life, Cheng Hui was soft-hearted and muddled, and lived a miserable life.
Under the tears of her stepmother, she gave her job to her sister and went to the countryside for her...
Chapter 258 The opportunity is right in front of you, take it yourself
Sun Biao ignored Wang Song's shouting and asked Cheng Hui with a smile: "Little comrade, what do you want to say?"
"I want to know if there are any unsolvable problems in the furniture factory now. If you come forward to solve them, can you continue to be the factory director?" Cheng Hui said.
After hearing what she said, Wang Song stopped shouting.
Sun Biao was stunned and said, "As for the problems the furniture factory is facing now, it seems that there are no problems. Our furniture factory is very profitable. The workers are too busy to work overtime. It is difficult to get a furniture ticket!"
He said this with a somewhat smug look on his face.
Furniture is very difficult to buy nowadays. Cities have a large population, few furniture factories, and most furniture is handmade, so supply is insufficient to meet demand, and furniture must be purchased with tickets.
As for the rural areas, people just ask carpenters to make them themselves instead of buying furniture from furniture factories because there is no channel to get furniture tickets.
The difference between urban and rural areas is once again reflected.
Cheng Hui said: "I want to buy a set of sofas. Does your furniture factory produce them?"
It turned out to be to buy a sofa.
Sun Biao felt it was boring, but he had to give face to Zhang Guangming and Yang Yue.
"Since Director Cheng has spoken, come to the factory to find me tomorrow and I will help you choose a set," said Sun Biao.
"I want it like this." Cheng Hui took out a pen and paper from her briefcase and started drawing.
Yang Yue...here he comes again!
He stretched his neck to see what Cheng Hui was drawing. Before she finished, he shouted, "That's great! I want one like that, too!"
Zhang Guangming looked at it curiously, and nodded with a smile: "It looks good. I didn't expect you can design furniture..."
This is really unexpected.
What else doesn't she know?
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I didn't design it. I saw it in a magazine and copied it."
Zhang Guangming smiled but said nothing. If there was such furniture in the magazine, he would have seen it in real life long ago.
Xiao Cheng is humble.
Sun Biao was extremely curious, so he came over and his eyes lit up!
He is an expert and he immediately saw the market potential for this sofa and knew it would definitely sell very well!
Of course they sell all kinds of furniture, but there is a difference between begging to buy a certain model and having to buy just any model.
Even if they are both meals, eating braised pork and eating steamed corn bread are different.
He has heard before that ordinary people would complain about how ugly the furniture they happily bought was... He is tired of hearing it so much!
After all, the furniture their furniture factory has produced has been almost the same since its establishment. Not to mention ordinary people, he himself is tired of seeing it.
But now this sofa caught his eye. It was a style he had never seen before and it was a style that people liked at first sight.
If they can make this kind of sofa, they will be famous among furniture factories across the country!
Sun Biao's breathing became heavier. From being just one of many mediocre furniture factories, it became the number one furniture factory in the country. Isn't this a huge contribution?
Of course, one sofa is not enough.
He looked at Cheng Hui with burning eyes: "Which magazine did you see it in? Where is the magazine? Can you show it to me?"
Cheng Hui did not answer his question, but finished drawing the blueprint and asked: "What kind of springs are used in the sofas you are producing now? How long can the sofa seats be used?"
"Well, we use ordinary coil springs. If used frequently, they can last about a year." Sun Biao said.
Sofas and Simmons beds are the most popular furniture nowadays, but their production is not large.
Because the manufacturing process is not very good, the quality of domestic sponges is not up to par, and the springs are also not good enough.
Not to mention the sofas from the 70s, even the sofas from the 90s would either have springs that would leak out and prick your butt after you sat on them for long, or they would collapse and not bounce back.
The nice and fashionable furniture suddenly became too ugly to be displayed.
Something that was once a face-enhancing thing has become embarrassing, and no one is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
"I've thought of a way to permanently solve the problem of springs piercing sponges," said Cheng Hui.
"What?" Sun Biao almost shouted.
This is the biggest problem I have with sofas! If this problem can be solved, sales can at least increase several times!
Cheng Hui just smiled and said, "I also heard that furniture factories abroad are all mechanized. They have planers, trimmers, slitting saws, straight slitting saws, multi-blade saws, gluing equipment, plywood equipment, universal saws, band saws, automatic band saws, various drilling machines, back-knife lathes, profiling lathes, and so on and so forth."
Sun Biao blinked his eyes. He had heard of these devices and had longed for them. He even submitted a report to his superiors hoping to import some.
No one paid any attention to him.
That little foreign exchange is not enough to buy national defense supplies, and you are buying it for him to make furniture? The current one is good enough, just use it!
Why is Cheng Hui saying this now?
Yang Yue was much more excited than him: "Hui'er! We don't want this broken house anymore. Uncle will give you his own house! Just make all the machines above for me!"
Cheng Hui turned around and smiled at him, "Uncle, don't ask for such a high price."
Just change a house for so many devices? What a joke.
She never thought of exchanging so many equipment for her current house. It was not worth it. She was just daydreaming.
"Hahahaha." Yang Yue just laughed, but thought in his heart that he had to ask her to make one or two of them no matter what!
"Let me introduce you to Engineer Cheng Hui, a senior engineer who has independently developed several world-class equipment, some machines for making furniture. I guess they don't require much technical skills. As long as Engineer Cheng wants, he can definitely make them for you." Yang Yue looked at Sun Biao and said.
Sun Biao blinked and said, "Since these are machines with low technical content, Director Yang's Anton Factory can make a few for me."
"You..." Yang Yue stared.
Being so good at arguing with people, no wonder he has to make room when he gets older!
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Sun Biao pretended to be stupid and said, "I just have the same idea as you. I think wood planers, trimmers, and drilling machines sound simple. Really, can you make a few for me?"
He looked at Cheng Hui again. Judging from her face, she was not even older than his granddaughter! Still a senior engineer? Do you really think he is awesome?
"Go away!" Yang Yue said, "If it's that simple, I would have done it long ago. Why do you need to urge me? But just because I can't do it doesn't mean Engineer Cheng can't do it.
"The opportunity is right in front of you, so take advantage of it."
Cheng Hui smiled and said: “After solving the problem of sofa springs, I designed a whole set of furniture, including sofas, coffee tables, cabinets, beds, etc., with 72 legs and a harmonious and unified style.
"Can I use these to trade?"
Nowadays, not only are three turns and one ring popular at weddings, but 36 legs and 72 legs are also popular.
If a family has the means, they will prepare at least a room for their son's marriage, even if they don't have to provide an apartment.
If you have a room, you need furniture, such as tables, chairs, benches, double beds, cabinets, etc. In the 1960s, they needed 36 legs. In the 1970s, the price increased and they needed 72 legs.
Some men prepare, some women prepare.
Cheng Hui's words "harmonious and unified style" made Sun Biao's eyes sparkle and he fell into deep thought. It seemed that a door opened in front of him.
"In addition, my previous promise is still valid. I sincerely suggest that you send three people from your family to work in our factory. Then each person will be given an apartment. Wouldn't your family's housing problem be easily solved?" Cheng Hui said.
She said it sincerely so that they wouldn't blame her when they realized what they had missed.
She tried to persuade them earnestly, but they didn't listen, so it was not her fault.
Sun Biao's eyes were struggling wildly.
Wang Song pushed him aside and said, "Director Cheng, our First Garment Factory has encountered a big problem. If you can help me solve it, I don't want this house anymore!"
