Chapter 112 The Second Production Plan
The cotton slippers made by Aunt Zhang have heels and look bulky, but the cotton filled inside is real and very warm.
"Aunt Zhang, you are always so polite. It's great that you can cook for me. It's really nice. It looks warm at first glance. Please sit down."
Cui Changjia asked Aunt Zhang to sit down.
"Jia Jia, your uncle and I have been discussing this for the past two days. I think that buying a house in the state capital that you mentioned before is feasible, so your uncle and I decided to buy a house in the state capital."
"That's great, Aunt Zhang," Cui Changjia said. "Before, our factory bought social insurance for all employees, which means that when uncle reaches retirement age, he can receive money. The factory is in trouble right now, so the social insurance has been suspended. When the factory's performance improves, we will buy it for you all."
"So even if you two can no longer work, you don't have to worry about not being able to live in the state capital. Although the pension is not much, it will be enough for you two to live on. Besides, we are all in the state capital. If you need anything, just let us know and we will definitely come."
Aunt Zhang's face was filled with excitement and satisfaction. She knew that it was the right decision for the old couple to come here.
"Jia Jia, we thought that you should save this money for us and give it to us when we want to buy something later."
Cui Changjia didn’t know what to say. How could she have deserved the trust of Zhang Fengming and his wife?
"Aunt Zhang, it's not appropriate for me to keep the money for you. It's better to keep it in the company's account. I can give it to you when you need it."
Aunt Zhang nodded, sighed and said, "Your uncle Zhang won't talk about this, so let me tell you. You know about those two things. What if one day they find out that we are earning a salary here and come to make trouble again? What do you think we will do?"
In fact, the problem of Zhang Fengming and his wife is easy to solve. If the adopted son does not support his parents, they can use legal means to take them to court, but Zhang Fengming and his wife may not be willing to argue with them.
Cui Changjia really didn't want to do anything bad to Zhang Fengming and his wife.
Aunt Zhang looked at Cui Changjia who seemed to be hesitant to speak and said, "Jia Jia, although I have only been with you for a short time, I feel especially close to you. I have never treated you as an outsider since you came here. If you have something to say, don't hide it. You have to tell me."
If the people in the Cui family are not trustworthy, who else can the old couple trust? "
Cui Changjia said, "Aunt, this matter is actually quite easy to deal with. Just go to court and sue to sever the relationship."
Now that they have severed their relationship, they will no longer be able to "bite" Zhang Fengming and his wife even if they want to.
Zhang Fengming and his wife both came from rural areas and were most afraid of lawsuits. When Cui Changjia said that, Aunt Zhang became a little scared.
Aunt Zhang said hesitantly, "Shall I go back and discuss it with your uncle?"
Aunt Zhang's reaction was within Cui Changjia's expectations. Not everyone in this world is capable of killing decisively.
Cui Changjia said, "Aunt Zhang, my eldest cousin is a lawyer. If you really want to sue, you can just entrust him. It doesn't cost any money."
Aunt Zhang left disappointed.
No one mentioned the matter again. They had agreed with Cui Xiuyuan that if they had money to spend now, their wages would be deposited into the factory's account and they could withdraw it when they needed it.
Cui Xiuyuan naturally agreed to this small matter.
But Zhang Fengming and his wife would never have imagined how much trouble their hesitation in making a decision would bring them. Of course, this is all a story for later!
The sales of folding tables, stools and other items can fully support the operation of the factory, so Cui Changjia just let Cui Chengze, Liu Haitao and Yang Jiangang take care of it.
Cui Chengze was the most cunning one. He had mastered the sales model and made Xu Cheng's business flourish without delaying his schooling.
I am currently contacting my classmates and preparing to copy Xucheng's sales model to Ningcheng. These things seem to be selling a lot, but the profit is low and it depends entirely on the volume. If the Cui family wants to rely on these things to pay off their debts, it will be too difficult.
Besides, their life goals cannot be limited to just paying off their debts.
So with the factory operating steadily, Cui Changjia is going to start her second production plan, which is to make office furniture.
She had discussed this with Cui Xiuyuan before and learned that, at present, there are very few companies in the city that specialize in office furniture, especially those that provide customized office furniture.
Most of them are traditional solid wood furniture, which is relatively expensive.
Therefore, Cui Changjia's idea was strongly supported by Cui Xiuyuan. Although he supported her, Cui Xiuyuan had no idea about its implementation, so he had to rely on Cui Changjia.
There are a total of six offices in the factory, but only two of them are currently in use. One is used by Cui Changjia and his team, and the other is for business purposes. Sometimes workers will sit in there too.
The remaining four rooms were not small in size, so Cui Changjia simply turned them into model rooms for office furniture.
You can still use it after taking the photo.
Among these four rooms, one is used as a meeting room, one is designed as a leadership office, and the other two are designed as centralized workstations.
She first drew a sketch based on her own ideas, then Cui Xiuyuan made it into a graphic design, then went to find relevant materials, and finally Zhang Fengming made it.
A mature product is not just about designing it. We need to consider the product’s aesthetics, service life, and whether it is easy and quick to install.
The panels and hardware are all readily available, and even if they are out of stock, Ding Xinglin and Zhang Shichao can help them solve the problem.
Ding Xinglin helped Cui Changjia find manufacturers of metal filing cabinets, swivel chairs, four-legged chairs and other office supplies, all in Suzhou.
Cui Changjia went there, visited several companies, and brought back some samples. If needed, these can be ordered directly from the manufacturers.
The logistics in 2004 were relatively good. We could ask the manufacturers to ship the goods directly. If there were a lot of goods, they could charter a vehicle to ship them. These were not a problem.
The most important things are the aluminum alloy seals around the office desk and the glass parts that make the screen.
Cui Changjia found the aluminum alloy seals in the hardware market. Since they are only used for sealing and the usage is not too large, there is no need for them to find a factory to make them for the time being.
The hardest to find are the glass pieces.
The hardware market was full of glass, but the only type Cui Changjia wanted was missing. She wanted the kind that alternated between frosted and flat surfaces, so that she could have some privacy but not complete privacy.
She thought that if she couldn't find what she wanted, she could just buy pure frosted or flat ones, but the thickness had to be sufficient.
She searched for a long time in the market, but found that the glass was either too thick or too thin, and none of them were suitable. Finally, she found a thick Changhong glass. Although it was a bit expensive, the quality was very good. She thought that if the effect of Changhong glass was good, she would use it.
After negotiating the price with the boss, Cui Changjia paid and drove the van over to install the glass. Anyway, as long as she could do it herself, she would never look for another car and waste money!
She opened the trunk door and waited for the workers from the glass shop to pack the glass and load it into the car. The boss came out to talk to her, saying that if the quantity needed was large, he could deliver the goods, so Cui Changjia wouldn't have to come over.
As he was talking, a man came over and greeted the glass shop owner, "Boss Zhou, how are the glass sales lately?"
