Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1979, Peng's Wood Industry

Chengdu, Sichuan, Peng Carpenter's home.

It was already more than ten o'clock in the middle of the night. In the past, everyone had already gone to bed early, but Carpenter Peng's house was brightly lit and busy.

Carpenter Peng, his son Peng Laosan, and several teenage grandsons at home are all busy, rushing to catch up with work and goods.

Because the tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, etc. made by Peng Carpenter's house fit the specifications of these suites in Shuxiangli Community, it is now spread in Shuxiangli Community.

In addition, my craftsmanship is really good and well-known, so I received dozens of orders at once, and I can always receive new orders every time I go to deliver the goods.

If there are too many orders, the family will be too busy, as if they can't finish it at all.

The money was earned, but the tiredness also exhausted the whole family.

"It can't go on like this."

"This family has been working hard all day to make one set, and this is still a situation where the materials are sufficient. It will take longer if the materials are selected and prepared from scratch."

"Now the materials stored in the home are almost used up, and the speed will be even slower in the future."

"When will these orders be completed? If customers wait too long, they will definitely get impatient."

Peng Laosan settled down on the work in hand, and began to think carefully in his mind.

All the work is done by myself, and the efficiency is really too slow.

"There are only three specifications for the houses in this book fragrance. If we can produce these accents, wardrobes, and beds according to these three specifications, then we can form standard specifications."

"Split these pieces of furniture into various components, and these components are produced to a uniform specification. If they are finally assembled, the speed can be very fast."

"It's the same as in a factory. Setting up a special factory or workshop, dividing it into different parts for production, and finally assembling them, the efficiency is fast and good."

"There are thousands of households in the first phase of this Shuxiang, and there are second, third, and fourth phases. In the next few years, you don't have to worry about not having customers. This workshop is completely feasible."

Peng Laosan thought silently in his heart. He has always been unwilling to just be a carpenter for the rest of his life, but his father, Carpenter Peng, has only one son, so he has no choice but to be a carpenter.

Now Peng Laosan feels that he can indeed open a workshop that specializes in the production of various furniture, and can aim at the current commercial housing market.

"I'm lazy again, and I'll feel tired when I do a few jobs."

"How to make money if you don't hurry up to do it and earn more money, why are you still in a daze."

Carpenter Peng is getting old, and with years of carpentry work, he already has a sore back and back pain. Seeing his son Peng Laosan sitting there in a daze, he is also half dead with anger.

It's hard work, a big job, a good business, and if you don't hurry up to make money, you're still here in a daze.

"Dad~"

"Let's discuss something~"

Peng Laosan came to Carpenter Peng and expressed his idea of ​​starting a workshop.

"Father, look, if our family is the only one doing the work at hand, we may be exhausted and we can't finish it, and even if we are exhausted all day long, we can't finish it." How many."

"I was wondering if we could open a workshop and recruit some workers to do things."

Before Peng Laosan finished speaking, Carpenter Peng said, "Hiring people to work?"

"How big is your family?"

"Do you think you are like those big bosses, with endless money at home?"

"Still recruiting people to do things, just for this job, do you need to hire people to do things?"

"This workshop doesn't cost money?"

"The wages of this worker don't need money?"

"Also, how can our carpenter's skills be taught casually? When I recruited apprentices before, I had to give us at least three years of free work before I was willing to teach them some real skills."

"Now recruiting people not only requires food and housing, but also a few taels of silver. Otherwise, who will do it for you?"

Carpenter Peng is very opposed to it. He thinks that he has the ability to eat as much as he can. The family works hard and can do as much as they can. There is no need to set up a workshop.

"Father, don't be in a hurry~"

"We have also seen it in Shuxiang. There are three types of houses in Shuxiang. We can produce furniture according to these three specifications."

"Split all the furniture into individual components for separate production, and split all the processes, just like the assembly line in a factory. Everyone is only responsible for the work at hand."

"If we do it this way, we don't need to spend time teaching people, and we don't have to worry about our family's income being taken away by others. The key is that the speed is much faster. We may only need to recruit dozens of people."

"I've already inquired clearly. How many issues are there in this book fragrance? It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of houses to be built. There will be work to be done in the next few years."

"And it's not just Beijing Real Estate. Zhang's Real Estate, Sangong Real Estate, and Universal Real Estate have also started building real estate around them. After that, there will be new-style building businesses."

"If we seize the opportunity now, we will be able to slowly develop a large factory at that time. This is a real foundation for future generations, not just this little craftsmanship."

"It's not just our family who know how to be a carpenter. Let alone Chengdu, there are dozens of carpenters, big and small, with names and surnames. Our family's craftsmanship is rare."

"Look at Carpenter Wang and Carpenter Li. Their craftsmanship is no worse than ours, and they harvest land as well."

Peng Laosan disagreed with his father's conservative ideas, and he also expressed his own ideas.

When Carpenter Peng heard this, he looked at his son slightly, only to realize that his son had grown up and had his own ideas.

Carpenter Peng has always been relatively strong, and he has the final say on everything in the family. This son is in his thirties, and he rarely has the opportunity to express his opinions.

This time, Carpenter Peng had to say that what his son seemed to say was very reasonable, and his vision seemed to be very good.

"I'm old, and this will be your young people's world from now on."

"Since you have such an idea, then do it according to your own ideas, and I can help you supervise."

After pondering for a while, Carpenter Peng decided to let his son do it after thinking about it.

Looking at my grandsons, they are already at the age of marrying wives. At that time, apart from other things, it will be very difficult to buy a house in a scholarly place in Chengdu.

It's time to toss, toss.

Since the appearance of the house in Shuxiangli, it has become the wind vane of Chengdu area. Families with good conditions are eager to buy a house in Shuxiangli.

This house is several hundred taels of silver, which is really expensive.

It is only a few taels of silver to make a whole house of furniture for others. It takes hundreds of sets to buy a house for others. It is too tiring to afford it.

"Dad, do you agree?"

When Peng Laosan heard this, he immediately said excitedly.

"Hmm~"

"It's good for you to have your own ideas, go for it."

"The money in the house will be taken care of by you in the future, if you have any ideas, do it."

Carpenter Peng nodded, thinking that he was too strict.

He is already in his thirties, he has never had a lot of big boys in his hands, and he is not a flamboyant person, and he has always been an obedient and sensible person since he was a child.

After he grows up, he is also an honest and responsible person, and he is also diligent in doing things. I really control him too tightly.

There was no other way. Raising this one after giving birth to several sons was naturally the most important consideration. Even though the grandson was already in his teens, in Carpenter Peng's heart he still felt that his son was not mature enough.

Now it seems that it is true that I have given him too few opportunities, and I should let him be the master of the house and do what he wants to do by himself.

"Great!"

"Father, I found out from someone that there are now specialized wood workshops and wood factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and they all use machines to do things."

"Take cutting wood as an example. If you use a machine to cut wood, it is very labor-saving and time-saving. The key is that the quality of the wood you cut is good, and you can make full use of the wood."

"We have a workshop, and it's best to buy some of these machines back."

"Don't rush to buy the machine, I've heard of these machines too, they are very expensive."

"You have to eat food at one bite, and you have to walk step by step. If you walk too fast, you will fall easily. The most important thing right now is to find a way to complete the orders in front of you and make money. After that, you can slowly buy more machines. .”

"Father, I know, I know~"

"I see that there is a construction site at the head of the village. It should be very good for a workshop. Just build a shed."

"That piece of land belongs to Old Liu's family. I'll go to him and discuss it with him. If I can buy it, I'll buy it first. If not, I can rent it."

"If we recruit people, they are all provided with food and housing. Where can we live here?"

"If conditions permit, of course food and housing are provided. If there are no conditions, there is no way to provide food and housing. Now there are many people working in the capital. There are always people who are willing to do things, and they can learn crafts when they come to us."

"Hmm~"

The father and son kept discussing this matter, and when the family members heard it, they also began to make plans one after another, discussing the matter of opening a workshop together.

A few days later, a workshop named Peng's Wood Industry was born. At first, it was just a few people in the family, but it soon recruited dozens of workers and began to get busy quickly.

Rented a place to run a workshop, separated many processes to form a series of immobile processing steps, and implemented an assembly line-like production method, and the efficiency was greatly improved.
