Chapter 519 Furniture Fair
August 1st is the wedding day of Wu Yucheng and Sheng Yunfei.
Given the Wu family's status and Wu Yucheng's wealth, this wedding certainly couldn't be anything less than spectacular.
Wu's relatives and friends gathered together, and even the orphans of several of Wu's old comrades-in-arms who had been adopted came to the capital with their wives and children.
The entire wedding ceremony followed the customs of the capital, and the banquet was arranged at a hotel.
During the ceremony, Sheng Yunfei wore a red wedding dress, which was specially made by a foreign designer that Wu Yucheng had found.
White wedding dresses weren't fashionable back then, and Chinese people couldn't accept them, so they were made in red.
The red wedding dress, adorned with rhinestones, shone brightly under the lights.
Wu Yucheng, dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and red tie, stood tall and smiled as he helped Sheng Yunfei onto the stage.
Amidst applause, he stood side by side with Sheng Yunfei on the stage, receiving everyone's blessings.
Therefore, the furniture produced by Huayang Furniture Factory is simply an improvement on the current popular furniture.
Sheng Xiping naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and chatted enthusiastically with the people, thus getting to know quite a few people.
Sheng Xiping was reborn, so he naturally understood this principle.
On August 3rd, Wu Yucheng accompanied Sheng Yunfei back to her parents' home, where the Sheng family prepared a lavish banquet to entertain her.
This takes much more effort than a wedding dress. When worn, it makes one look beautiful, dignified, elegant, and graceful.
After receiving the deposit, the staff will issue a receipt to the customer, which will include the furniture store's address and phone number.
August 10th happened to be a Sunday, and the exhibition hall was packed with people, with countless people from the capital and surrounding areas coming to join in the fun.
This is a popular rhyme in many places in the 1980s, which shows the popular trends in furniture.
The development of furniture should also keep pace with the times and meet the needs of the people; it is not necessarily better to have the most advanced ideas.
Wu Yucheng, with the grandest wedding, showed everyone how much he loved Sheng Yunfei.
Visitors to the trade fair can simply place an order with the staff if they find a piece of furniture they like.
Taking this opportunity, Wu Bingzhong and his brother specially called Sheng Xiping over and introduced him to many of their friends.
After the ceremony ended and the banquet began, Sheng Yunfei changed into another outfit, a bright red dragon and phoenix gown embroidered with gold.
Therefore, Sheng Xiping attached great importance to this and wanted to stay and oversee the situation.
The products exhibited by Huayang Furniture Factory attracted countless customers immediately due to their novel designs, superior quality, and low prices.
The second set, in particular, required many embroiderers to spend a lot of time and effort to complete.
Each product on display clearly indicated its materials and price, making it easy to understand at a glance and requiring minimal explanation from staff.
Wu Yucheng got married in his early thirties, while his childhood friends' sons are already old enough to run errands.
Wu Yucheng arranged a car to take her family back to Sheng Xikang's house.
In the capital, the staff had already rented storefronts and warehouses, found suitable venues for sales events, and placed advertisements in newspapers.
Everyone else had left, but Sheng Xiping remained in the capital. The reason was simple: Huayang Furniture's exhibition and sales event in the capital was about to begin.
The main reason is simple: large home furnishing stores had not yet appeared at that time, and the rental prices of department stores were relatively high, so trade fairs became the best sales channel.
Generally speaking, the guests from the bride's family did not stay until the end of the banquet. Just after midnight, everyone from the Sheng family got up and left.
So not many people actually went to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber that night. Everyone just went through the motions, sat in the new house for a bit, and then left.
Everyone who can attend this wedding is a prominent figure. These are all connections that will come in handy in the future.
Sheng Liancheng and the others were also thinking about the dinner party when they returned, so on August 5th, the group took a car back to Northeast China.
The design is not too outdated and truly meets the needs of people today.
Among the knowledgeable guests present, it was immediately apparent that both outfits were quite valuable.
Sheng Lianqiu and the others all had work to do and couldn't stay too long, so after Sheng Yunfei returned to her parents' home, they left by car.
Since the Capital Furniture Company opened a furniture exhibition in Hufangqiao, furniture exhibitions have become a new way to buy furniture.
Northeast China is rich in timber, and Huayang Furniture Factory even sources its raw materials from Russia, making it even cheaper.
After the 1980s, with the introduction of machines and assembly lines into the furniture production process, production efficiency greatly improved, and furniture purchases no longer required coupons.
The next day, Wu Yucheng arranged several tables at the restaurant, where relatives from the Sheng and Wu families gathered for a lively meal.
"A combination of furniture, a sofa bed, a black and white TV in the center, three brick houses with cement floors, and a rented truck to pick up the bride."
Of course, the initial trade fairs were very rudimentary, no different from setting up a street stall.
The wedding banquet was also very high-class, with guests filling the room with laughter and joy, offering their sincerest blessings to the newlyweds.
Before the 1980s, furniture production mainly relied on handcrafted work by carpenters, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low output and difficulty in meeting demand. Therefore, most cities relied on ration coupons for furniture supply.
On August 10th, Huayang Furniture Factory will hold a large-scale furniture exhibition and sales event at Hufangqiao.
This is the first stop of the national trade fair. How is the market feedback for Huayang Furniture Factory's furniture? Can it win the favor of consumers? This is the first test.
This outfit was custom-made by a master tailor in Suzhou long ago.
Customers can pick up their orders at the store at the agreed time, or they can leave their address and contact number and the furniture store will arrange delivery after the ordered goods arrive.
