As for those cat scratching boards, they don't require much skill; you can just find any spot.

Therefore, Sheng Lianjie directly summoned all the village secretaries of the twenty-odd villages under the jurisdiction of the township to a meeting. At the meeting, he asked everyone to raise their hands to indicate that they must strictly follow the requirements to complete the orders.

Then, these orders of more than 10,000 sets were distributed evenly among the various villages.

The village secretary went back and organized manpower. As soon as the design drawings and samples arrived, they would first weave the cat house, and then make the frame, wrap the rope, etc.

A few days later, Sheng Xiwen and Sheng Xiwu returned to their hometown with pictures of the samples and various design drawings.

Sheng Lianjie immediately organized a meeting to discuss how to make the cat house both sturdy and beautiful.

This is the first big order their township has received, and they absolutely cannot mess it up. They must ensure quality while increasing production speed and delivering the goods as soon as possible.

A few days later, the wood and corrugated cardboard arrived, and all the villages under the township's jurisdiction got busy.

There are people who specialize in weaving cat houses, making wooden frames, wrapping ropes around them, and even making cat scratching posts.

The old ladies, having nothing better to do, divided up the cotton cloth and cotton and made cotton mats at home.

In any case, each type of product has a specific price, and you are paid according to the amount of work done. In the end, the township inspects the goods and finds them to be qualified. Then, a special person will assemble the parts according to the specifications, pack them into boxes, and ship them out.

Sheng Xiping offered to buy the entire cat tree for fifty yuan.

This is only because of Sheng Lianjie's influence, and he's taking care of things back in his hometown. Otherwise, if he sent it elsewhere, there would probably be plenty of people scrambling to take the job even for twenty yuan.

A few wicker baskets, a few pieces of wood, plus some hemp rope, corrugated cardboard, cotton cloth and cotton, how much money could that cost?

What's being sold here is entirely based on creativity. The cost of materials is low, and the labor costs are negligible in this day and age.

Fifty yuan is quite a lot. If the purchase price is set too high from the beginning, the business will not be able to continue.

Sheng Xiping first transferred 100,000 yuan to Sheng Lianjie, mainly for the initial purchase of various materials. The remainder would be settled upon acceptance of the goods and delivery.

"Arrange for someone to go on a business trip to the port city and register all of these products for me with global patents."

With arrangements made back home, Sheng Xiping immediately began working on the patent registration process.

Cat trees and similar items are purely about selling a creative idea, and they don't require much technical skill, making them easy to imitate.

So Sheng Xiping had already decided that he would register the patent first and make money for a few years first.

By the time someone else replicates it in a few years, he'll have already come up with other ways to make money.

"President Sheng, I don't quite understand why we don't submit this product to the Autumn Trade Fair? Wouldn't that help us secure more orders?"

In the company, someone asked Sheng Xiping a question, puzzled.

"Tch, this thing is easy for anyone to make. What are we going to do with it at the Autumn Trade Fair? Make money by giving directions to others?"

Let me tell you, some money can be earned openly and ostentatiously, while other money must be earned discreetly.

"By the time everyone else realizes what's going on, we'll have made enough money and moved on to something else." Sheng Xiping sneered. He wasn't stupid; why would he send everything to the Canton Fair?

The employee who asked the question nodded and quickly went to attend to other tasks.

The company arranged for someone to immediately set off for the port city, where they not only registered this series of products, but also registered patents for names such as cat climbing frames and cat scratching boards.

In this way, as long as they produce similar products, regardless of whether they are made of wood or other materials, it is equivalent to infringing on their patent, and Tengyue Company can hold them accountable.
