Gu Ranzhou walked into the furniture factory with a folder in his hand, but was stopped before he had gone far.
"Comrade, you're here to make furniture, right?"
Gu Ranzhou looked at the person who called him from a distance and nodded, saying, "Yes!"
"Then comrade, I would like to ask if you want it freshly made or pre-made?"
Gu Ranzhou said: "It's freshly made. My name is Gu Ranzhou. What's the name of the master?"
The middle-aged man scratched his head and said enthusiastically, "My name is Li Youcai."
Gu Ranzhou said, "Oh, Master Li."
"yes."
Gu Ranzhou then asked, "Master Li, I'd like to ask if we can customize furniture here?"
Li Youcai nodded immediately after hearing what Gu Ranzhou said. "Customized? Sure! Comrade Gu, do you have the drawings?"
Gu Ranzhou waved the folder in his hand and said, "Yes, I have it with me now."
Li Youcai quickly invited the other person aside to discuss, "That's good, let's take a look now, do you think it's okay?"
"good."
Gu Ranzhou sat on the bench and handed the folder in his hand to Li Youcai. Li Youcai took the folder and looked at the design on the drawing.
"Then Comrade Gu, please sit down for a while."
Gu Ranzhou smiled faintly: "It's okay, Master Li, just take care of yours."
Li Youcai looked at the drawing on the paper and exclaimed in admiration, "Oh, this drawing is great! Excuse me, did you draw this yourself, Comrade Gu?"
Li Youcai has been making furniture for so many years that he has quite a keen eye. After looking at them for a while, he figured out the ins and outs of these sets of furniture.
Gu Ranzhou smiled faintly and said, "I drew this in my spare time. Master Li, do you think you can make it?"
Li Youcai looked at the blueprint in his hand fondly and nodded, "This needs to be carefully considered."
Gu Ranzhou was naturally happy when he heard the result, "Good!"
After Li Youcai looked at the drawings, he found them more and more interesting. Then he started chatting with Gu Ranzhou, and the two of them had a very lively conversation.
Li Youcai knew he couldn't finish it all by himself, so he suggested, "Comrade Gu, I think it should be no problem for a few of my old buddies to do it with me, but it might take a while. I wonder if you can wait?"
Gu Ranzhou nodded. He knew how long it would take to make these furniture. He had done this before. "That's no problem. My house is being renovated and I plan to let it air dry for a few days after the renovation. It won't be a problem to finish these furniture in one or two months."
Li Youcai finally felt relieved after hearing what Gu Ranzhou said. He nodded and replied, "Okay, Comrade Gu, we'll take it."
At this time, Li Youcai thought of the wood again and asked, "But Comrade Gu, what kind of wood do you want to use to make furniture?"
Gu Ranzhou had already thought about the wood problem and said to Li Youcai, "Your furniture factory should have wood, right?"
Li Youcai nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade Gu, come over here and I'll take you to see it. You can choose it yourself?"
"good."
The two talked all the way and soon arrived at the wood warehouse where furniture was placed.
Li Youcai led Gu Ranzhou to the warehouse where the wood was stored and said, "Comrade Gu, there are more than twelve kinds of wood here. Please take a look. Which one do you like?"
Gu Ranzhou looked at the wood in front of him and nodded. "These are good, but they're not the kind I want."
Li Youcai knew that none of these woods were what he wanted, so he asked, "How about you just tell me what kind of wood you want, and I'll take you to see it. Is that okay with you?"
Gu Ranzhou didn't even think about playing Tai Chi and asked directly: "Do you have Huanghuali?"
When Li Youcai heard that this was a big customer, he quickly said, "Yes, this way."
Li Youcai led Gu Ranzhou inside, and soon they arrived in front of another batch of wood.
Gu Ranzhou inspected it with his eyes, then walked over, touched it, nodded, and said, "It is indeed Huanghuali. This batch of Huanghuali is really good!"
Li Youcai smiled and said, "Of course."
Gu Ranzhou saw another batch of wood and walked over to it, touched it, and then asked in surprise: "What is this? Small-leaf red sandalwood."
Then he exclaimed, "I didn't expect you still have small-leaf red sandalwood here, and so many?"
Li Youcai knew from Gu Ranzhou's words that this man was very interested in both types of wood. He explained, "Well, Comrade Gu, this is indeed small-leaf red sandalwood. However, this type of wood is not only expensive but also easily wasted, so few people are willing to buy it. The factory rarely imports this type of wood these days. These are the last batch, and the boss told us not to buy any more until we sell them all."
Gu Ranzhou looked at the wood and made a decision with a trembling heart, "It's really a good one!"
Then he said to Li Youcai: "Master Li, you have also looked at the drawings I just gave you. There are several sets of furniture in it. I have decided to use these two types of wood to make furniture."
Li Youcai was of course happy to hear what Gu Ranzhou said, but he was a little confused and asked, "What? Comrade Gu, I don't seem to understand what you mean?"
Gu Ranzhou didn't get angry. Instead, he patiently explained, "What I mean is that the drawings I gave you include five sets of furniture. Please use these two types of wood one by one according to the specifications. Make one set of furniture with each type of wood. Please make 10 sets of furniture."
After Gu Ranzhou finished speaking, Li Youcai was shocked and asked in astonishment, "10 sets? Comrade Gu, are you sure?"
Gu Ranzhou nodded calmly and said, "Well, let's do the next 10 sets first."
Then he continued, "But Master Li, I have to say something upfront. After we agree on the price and I pay the deposit, you have to be more meticulous when you're dealing with furniture."
Li Youcai was naturally happy to hear that Gu Ranzhou wanted to order 10 sets of furniture at once, but he didn't get carried away by his joy. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Comrade Gu. I, Li Youcai, am not that kind of person. Comrade Gu, since you trust me so much, how about this: after I finish making the furniture, you can come and inspect it. If there are no problems, you can pay the balance afterward."
Gu Ranzhou smiled faintly and said, "Okay, Master Li, I'm relieved to hear what you said. Now, may I trouble you with the furniture I need to make?"
"good."
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Ranzhou said to Li Youcai, "Master Li, let's estimate it now and then go and pay the deposit. You can choose the wood for the furniture. Money is not a problem. Once we have the estimate, we can go to the bank to transfer the money."
"OK!"
Gu Ranzhou and Li Youcai hit it off and worked together to estimate how much wood was needed to make the furniture. Since Gu Ranzhou was going to make 10 sets of furniture, the amount of wood would only be more, not less. After they estimated the amount, more than half an hour had passed, and they went to the bank together.
