Chapter 228 Are you still there?
Chen Sanlang secretly sighed in his heart, thinking of the craftsmanship of the ancients in making wood products. If he gave his drawings to them, he would surely be able to perfect his ideas.
Cooperating with inheritors of craftsmanship like the Qian family will benefit both the Qian family and ourselves!
They never expected that when the two arrived at the gate of Qian's house, they were driven out like beggars, saying that something big happened at home that day and they wanted to clear out the idle people in front of the gate.
Chen Sanlang stood under the archway again, feeling a little regretful. He would only make less money, but would not suffer any loss. The slow promotion might be beneficial to him.
If we really want to cooperate with the Qian family, it will be difficult to keep the design concept of the drawings confidential. Once people's minds are opened, they will follow the trend. For people like the Qian family who have been engaged in the wood trading for many years, as long as you give them an idea, they will naturally think of all the possibilities behind it.
Even after looking at the blueprints, if the character is unreliable, something might happen. I can't compete with the big wood companies. It's better to keep the technology in my own hands, even if it means making money slowly. After all, it is a way out for me at the moment.
Thinking of this, Chen Sanlang calmed down and asked calmly:
"Brother Huo, do you know of any smaller woodworking shops or carpenters you are familiar with?"
When Huo Ying heard what Chen Sanlang said, he remembered and said excitedly:
"Brother, don't tell me that I really know these two families. When the gambling house was renovating its backyard and stairs, I contracted the woodworking to two woodworking shops in the north of the city.
Let them do it because we are retired soldiers together, and if there is any benefit, they should take care of us brothers. "
Now that they had reached a consensus, the two went to find the carpenter Binghan mentioned by Huo Ying.
Standing in front of the door, Chen Sanlang thought for a moment. Rather than a woodworking shop, it was more like a slightly neater courtyard. The two families were next to each other, and each had their family name on the door. One was Zhang, and the other was Chen. There was no carpenter mark on the two wooden doors next to each other, indicating that they were small craftsmen, not a woodworking shop.
Chen Sanlang was a little hesitant, afraid that these people would not understand his ideas. But since they were already here, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try.
After knocking on the Zhang family's door, a lame man came out. He was very strong and looked honest and simple. Carpenter Zhang and Huo Ying knew each other well, and they were very excited to meet.
Carpenter Zhang led the two men into the courtyard. Before letting them sit down, he hurriedly asked Huo Ying about his cheating in the gambling house. He then looked at Huo Ying with regret, shook his head and asked:
"Boss, what are you going to do in the future? If you can't make it, come to my place. Do some odd jobs here, and we'll get by together. I'll never let you go hungry."
Although Huo Ying was very grateful in his heart, he still said stubbornly:
I don’t need you to feed me, I’ve brought people here, we will find a way to make money…”
In fact, Huo Ying just said this, but he never expected that Chen Sanlang really thought so.
Soon, Carpenter Chen from next door was called over. After everyone gathered and exchanged pleasantries, since they were not sure about the carpentry skills of the two, they asked:
"Two big brothers, can I take a look at your work first?"
Huo Ying quickly introduced the two parties:
"Chen Sanlang was my lifesaver when I got into trouble at the gambling house. These two were soldiers who returned home with me."
After the three of them got to know each other, they got up and went to look at the two houses. After a round, they came back and sat down in the Zhang family's yard.
Chen Sanlang already had a plan in mind. He took out the blueprints from his arms. There were five blueprints in total. The simplest one was the first one to transform the wooden bed. The original simple single bed was changed into a single bunk bed structure with a simple small ladder hanging on the side.
The next few drawings showed double-bed stairs that were either visible or hidden, or even folded. The two carpenters were a little surprised after seeing them. They were surprised that the beds could be placed in this way and transformed into so many structures. They looked at each other and then looked at Chen Sanlang with a scrutinizing look.
Welcome. This is not the first time I have seen this blueprint. I did not understand it before. I have heard Chen Sanlang talk about it before, so I understand why these two people are curious. I do not understand what this kind of ship is used for, but I just think it is strange.
Freight asked, if you don't understand, just ask
Both of them said that they didn't know what practical use this bed had, and shook their heads and said, can this bed be sold after it is made?
Chen Sanlang said indifferently that rich families would not use this bed themselves, but would buy it for servants. Families with tight living conditions or more people would also make this kind of bed, so the material of this bed must be affordable, as long as there is some profit, it will not necessarily make money.
After repeated fighting by the Hokage, the three of them followed him back to Huo Ying's house. The bunk beds on the stairs were taken out and shown to the two of them. This time, the two of them were a little stunned and asked what this was?
Even before I, Chen Sanlang, explained, Huo Ying was eager to try it out, saying that this was a staircase, which was great, and could be opened. There were drawers inside, and a lot of things could be put in the drawers. It was edible.
This time the two carpenters turned the drawing to their own direction and started to discuss. Finally, they both decided to make this type of bed first, because they thought this type of bed would have a good market.
However, Chen Sanlang still required that both types of beds be made in similar quantities. At least 3 to 4 beds of each type should be made first, and then put in different markets to sell, to see how the market responds, and then continue processing after getting orders.
Huo Ying and the two carpenters thought Chen Sanlang was very smart, so they decided to buy some relatively cheap and sturdy wood to make the first type of simple bunk beds, and then upgrade the wood to make the second type of bunk beds with stairs.
After thinking it over, Chen Sanlang asked the two to calculate the cost. When the time came to invest, Chen Sanlang called Huo Ying aside and asked
Brother Huo, among us, you are probably the only one who has been a big showman and seen the world, and you are the only one with money. I am afraid that only you can invest and make the connection in this matter.
Huo Ying thought about it. After all, he would not lose money if he used the wood and his skills, and he could still earn back the money for the wood. So without thinking twice, he decided to buy the wood himself.
Chen Sanlang arranged for several people and turned back. Wenmofang, he wanted to confirm that this book was indeed written by Wang Jingyi.
If it were him, he would be able to feel Wang Jingyi's presence between the lines or in every poem. Maybe for others it's just reading a book, but for him it's almost like being with Wang Jinyi. This is a kind of happiness. He wants to experience it alone in silence.
Li, the shopkeeper of Wen Mo Fang, saw Chen San Lang coming back. In the process, he was kicked and knocked down in front of Wen Mo Fang. He asked him timidly, "Are you okay?"
