Chapter 172
Seeing the strength of Boss Liang and his company with his own eyes, Wu Jin had a strong confidence that "the little girl will definitely be able to revitalize the family business", and left happily.
Before her brother left, Wu Xiaolan also transferred the 5 yuan on her WeChat to him.Take it to treat father Wu Chengdi.
She only left a few thousand yuan for living expenses.
From the looks of it, the employer should have hired her to work with the accommodation package.But it is always right to leave a few thousand dollars for "self-defense".
As for Wu Xiaolan's salary as a carpenter, he didn't discuss it in detail.Liang Teng has already stated his position before: after the ceiling is finished, we will decide whether to continue the cooperation.
If you continue, invite Wu Xiaolan according to the salary level of "Wu Chengdi".
The Wu brothers and sisters suddenly felt the pressure.The two of them knew that replacing the high-end ceiling was a test.
Only after passing this test can Wu Xiaolan be given more work to do.
To test your level of woodcarving, directly use 1600 million worth of wood to test.It can be seen how precious the things to be made later are.
In this case, how can the Wu brothers and sisters care about the little labor money.
If you waste more wood from the big boss, you won't be able to pay for the labor.
Wu Xiaolan stayed and accepted the skills assessment honestly.
Wu Jin went back first.Liang Teng, of course, casually said a few polite words, and wanted to keep him for dinner.But how dare Wu Jin bother the big boss to cook.He quickly said that he would invite Boss Liang when he was free next time, and he must give him a face.
Wu Jin also found an excuse and made an appointment with the attending doctor to go to the hospital to understand his father's condition.A signature may be required, agreeing to the next stage of treatment.
Wu Xia then called a bodyguard and sent Wu Jin to the hospital where Wu Chengdi was staying.
That night, Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu cooked in person.
Wu Xiaolan wanted to help.
Unfortunately, her cooking skills are too poor.When I'm at home, I often catch up with work and work, that is, soak instant noodles in hot water all year round, and just deal with one meal.
Before Wu Chengdi got sick, he would cook occasionally.The female secretary he hired, who was also the mother of the Wu brothers and sisters, was also a poor cook.The family made do with it.
Really tired of eating, just order a takeaway.Therefore, Wu Xiaolan ate like this for many years, which made her pale and emaciated, and she looked malnourished.
Three large refrigerators with double doors, full of ingredients.
Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu carefully selected ingredients and cooked a sumptuous dinner.
All the bodyguards were called, and everyone gathered at a table and had a delicious dinner.
It's time to celebrate Liang Teng's move into this new residence.
While Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu were having dinner, Liang Teng also took Wu Xiaolan to a side room (don't think about it), and personally tested and passed her wood carving skills.
Don't be surprised.The assessment is very simple.
All the carpentry tools have been moved to the 65-square-meter "studio", so Liang Teng went to the "warehouse" to get a fist-sized "small-leaf red sandalwood", which was dismantled from an old wardrobe. one.
Take this piece of stuff and let Wu Xiaolan choose tools, as long as you get him a "Journey to the West" before dinner. Fire" three-dimensional woodcarving.
good!This is the content of Liang Teng's assessment.
He was too lazy to ask Wu Xiaolan to make the simplest "lines" for the ceiling.Even if she is very proficient in cutting "lines", she can at best be called a skilled trade.
It may not be possible for her to complete the bulk of furniture and the production of three-dimensional stories of famous characters by herself.
So simply "one step in place" and let her carve three-dimensional figure wood carvings.Only then can we see her true level.
As for wood loss?
joke!Liang Teng only needs to take out a wardrobe leg dismantled from an old-fashioned wardrobe, which is enough wood to test Wu Xiaolan's craftsmanship.
This kind of "loss" is much lower than the loss of making a suspended ceiling.
Carving the image of "Avalokitesvara sprinkling rain", Liang Teng also made some considerations.
The image of Avalokitesvara has become very popular, and the majority of believers "enshrine" the image of Avalokitesvara in their homes.The difficulty of engraving is not too high.
But precisely because the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva is too popular, it is difficult to carve a high-level image of Guanyin (and a dynamic portrait of sprinkled rain).
This proposition is definitely a test of the carpenter's level.
Wu Xiaolan did not refuse, and began to think seriously.
It can be seen that she immediately saw the difficulty of this "examination question".
Time is running out, you have to finish carving the Avalokitesvara before Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu prepare dinner.
At that time, I didn't know that Wu Xia was going to make a big meal, which took three hours.Wu Xiaolan didn't dare to waste time, with a preliminary "plan" in mind, she started.
Liang Teng was quite satisfied with the resulting wood carving.
He doesn't judge Wu Xiaolan's woodcarving skills by his likes and dislikes.He has a very straightforward set of criteria for judging.That is, after Wu Xiaolan sculpted the image of Guanyin from "Journey to the West", how would he judge whether this woodcarving would be liked by the big businessmen?
Liang Teng did not engrave the stories of the "Four Great Masterpieces" for his own collection, but to leave them as "family heirlooms" for his descendants in the future.
He was going to sell to some bigwigs in the business world.Of course, the big guy's aesthetics should be used as the "judgment" standard.
Everyone has different tastes, and of course different visions.But Liang Teng asked Wu Xia in advance for the personal information of several "intended buyers", that is, the group of business leaders who were going to sell the sculptures of the "Four Great Masterpieces".
After thinking through the temperament and hobbies of those big boss buyers, Liang Teng's requirements for the characters in the famous stories were very detailed.
The refinement of the standard makes it very easy to judge whether the things carved by Wu Xiaolan meet the taste of the boss?
In addition, the assessment of some basic techniques of woodcarving is also included here.
As a result, Liang Teng was quite satisfied.
When everyone was having dinner together, Liang Teng made a decision in public: he had recognized Wu Xiaolan's craftsmanship.It was decided to formally hire her to make woodcarving works for the company.
Liang Teng made decisions so quickly, Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu knew his work style better, so they didn't find it abrupt or strange.
On the contrary, among the male and female bodyguards who came to "Cengfan", one or two of them were rather gloomy, and couldn't help but secretly had bad associations in their minds - the little girl only came this afternoon.I just sent my brother away.Then the eldest lady and Qian Yu went to make dinner.Your boss Liang called the little girl into a room alone.Stayed there for more than an hour, and then came out and said that the little girl passed the skill assessment... What aspect of the little girl's "skills" did your boss Liang assess? !
God!Can't go any further!It's simply too evil! Evil!Let these pure people destroy their three views!
The two parties involved, Liang Teng and Wu Xiaolan, as well as Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu, two people who had considerable confidence in him, could not have guessed that a bodyguard would have "unconstrained imagination" in his head.
If you know, they are the ones who suffer from the "destroyed three views".
Anyway, everyone enjoyed their dinner this time.We had a great chat.
There are a total of 4 male bodyguards, led by Wan Yuning.The other four female bodyguards were led by Yan Qianyu.
There were a total of 8 bodyguards, and Boss Liang's meal was equivalent to a sumptuous meal of "entering the banquet".
Push Yan Qianyu from behind to come forward, and get information from Wu Xia.
But Wu Xia knew Liang Teng's temper well, and said that Liang Teng was just eating, not wanting their congratulations.If he wanted to receive red envelopes, Liang Teng would have set up a banquet with hundreds of tables, inviting friends and relatives to attend the banquet in his new house.
Liang Teng never paid much attention to this.He kept a low profile and didn't put on a big banquet, just because he didn't want everyone to spend money.and so on.
Instead, Wu Xia earnestly urged the bodyguards not to give red envelopes.Even Liang Teng will be politely declined.
But the bodyguards rely on the Wu family for food.In private, they all regarded Liang Teng as the only "candidate for son-in-law" of the Wu family.It is not necessary to pay for the housewarming wine of other people's house, but can the wine of "Uncle Liang" be drunk for nothing?
Now that the eldest lady has made it clear that Liang Teng will not accept "red envelopes", the eight bodyguards no longer consider sending red envelopes.
So what should be given as a congratulatory gift that is both timely and will please the future uncle, and he will not refuse it?
In the end, Yan Qianyu was more familiar with what Liang Teng and Wu Xia were up to recently?
Didn't they invite a master woodcarver recently to make furniture and carve the stories of the "Four Great Masterpieces"?
Carving and making furniture, the bodyguards can't get involved.
But to carve the stories of the "Four Great Masterpieces", it is said that four complete tree trunks with a large diameter are required to act as "pallets".
These "pallets", Liang Teng said, only plan to find hard ordinary wood.
The key is that the diameter of the wood must be large enough to be cut to make a "pallet".
It doesn't matter how valuable the wood is, but the integrity of the pallet must be guaranteed.
Don't splice it, it's too ugly.
After discussing with the eight bodyguards, let them chip in and buy four complete cut "beech wood" as pallets.
This "beech wood" has no other advantages, only one character characteristic - "heavy".
Beech of the same volume can be one-third heavier than other woods.
The weight is heavy, which means that the density of this "beech wood" is very high.Won't wear out easily.
It is a good choice to use it as a tray, if it is not too cheap.
This "beech wood" is really cheap, and the bodyguards went to the local timber market to find four suitable "beech wood".The selling price of each piece is only 1.2 yuan.
The representative of the bodyguard negotiated a price with the other party.In the end, the store saw that he wanted 4 yuan in one go, so he wiped off the "changes", and a whole cut beech "pallet" was sold for 1 yuan.
4 yuan, a total of 4 sold.
The bodyguard representative readily settled the bill.Then put 4 pieces of "beech wood" on the pickup truck, and pulled it back to the "King's Building" as a "housewarming" gift for Liang Teng.
The 4 yuan was shared equally by 8 bodyguards, and each person paid 5 yuan.
This gift really "followed what he liked", and Liang Teng "greatly accepted it".Not a single word of rejection was mentioned at all.
After giving gifts, the bodyguards drank with peace of mind at the banquet that night.Drunk for five minutes (because I still have to perform security work, I dare not open my arms and drink until I am very drunk).
But they also returned with all their heart's content (of course, only the first floor of the building was returned).
The production of woodcarvings will officially start tomorrow, and Wu Xiaolan told Wu Xia early on that she went back to the guest room she had chosen to sleep.
The guest room she chose was the one next to the far side.Quite deserted, no one pays attention to the corner.
From all the signs, it can be seen that this is a very quiet, obedient, hard-working, and at the same time very introverted and out of gregarious little girl.
On the second day, quite unexpectedly, what Liang Teng first asked Wu Xiaolan to make was a three-dimensional wood carving of the story of the famous "Journey to the West".
Liang Teng completely trusts Wu Xiaolan's technology, she can make "red sandalwood" furniture first, or carve the stories of famous characters first, she can do it well.
But to make the latter first, Liang Teng has his own considerations.
For example, for the suspended ceiling, Wu Xiaolan only needs to cut a bunch of "lines" according to the specifications and requirements.As long as the size and interface don't show the slightest discrepancy, it's fine.
To install the suspended ceiling, of course, another decoration worker who is used to "working at heights" is invited.
Therefore, it is relatively simple to make a suspended ceiling.It only needs Wu Xiaolan to spare one or two days, and it will be almost the same.
In addition, like making 6-piece sofa furniture and wine cabinets, these are for personal use.It's okay to fix it later.
Including preparing a set of furniture for Wu Xia's father as a birthday gift, there are still more than two months to slowly prepare.There is no rush.
Now that Liang Teng is anxious to get some cash, Wu Xia has already vowed that he has a buyer.Of course, Liang Teng wanted to get out the wood carvings of the "Four Great Masterpieces" first, in exchange for some cash.
Wu Xia estimates that a set of famous woodcarvings can be sold for about 4000 million to 6000 million. Liang Teng is not greedy, so even if it can sell for a median price of 5000 million.
This is equivalent to an "order" business. As long as you can make qualified products, you can get money.How could Liang Teng not care?
Liang Teng has carefully verified with Wu Xiaolan, on the premise of ensuring the quality, how long will it take to carve out all the wood carvings of the "Four Great Masterpieces"?
Wu Xiaolan is very cautious in her professional field.
She first asked about the volume of each famous woodcarving, and how many characters and scenes need to be carved?
With all the data in hand, she can calculate her working hours.
Liang Teng asked Wu Xia to calculate these data early in the morning.Print on A4 paper.
Liang Teng showed it to Wu Xiaolan.
Seeing the various data in black and white, Wu Xiaolan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.The famous sculpture that Liang Teng wants to make is not too big.Each piece is about the size of an ordinary rectangular desk.
This is not surprising.If it was too large, the cost price of the "Little-leaf Red Sandalwood" that Liang Teng took out would be far more than 5 to 6 million.
Wu Xiaolan said that she can complete one piece of woodcarving artwork the size of the "boss table" in about 10 days.If you are more diligent, reduce your sleep time, and strive to complete a sculpture within a week, it is also possible.
Liang Teng was very satisfied with such efficiency.
He could see that Wu Xiaolan was a serious girl. Since she could give such a time, of course she said that she only needed to spend 10 days to ensure that the things she made could stand the test.
Liang Teng made an agreement with Wu Xiaolan to complete a masterpiece carving in 10 days.Sleep time must be guaranteed.
According to the speed of one piece in 10 days, after the "four great classics" were all moved to the solid wooden pallet, it took only 40 days.
After that, there was only one month left until Wu Zhenting’s birthday, which was enough for Wu Xiaolan to make two sets of “red sandalwood sofas”.
Besides, the two sets of sofas that need to be made do not have to wait until the completion of the "Four Great Masterpieces" before officially starting.
Wu Xiaolan can completely relax her brain nerves when she is mentally tense, and then use tools to cut the "rough embryos" of the furniture - those furniture that have not been carefully polished must first be cut into a rough shape , commonly known as "hair embryo", to carry out the next detailed process.
It is inevitable to produce a lot of "leftovers" after cutting out the "rough embryo".
Wu Xiaolan can use those "corner wood" to carve the characters in famous stories.
Otherwise, the woodcarvings of the "Four Great Masterpieces" would not be enough to complete the woodcarvings of the "Four Great Masterpieces" simply by dismantling the wood from 11 old-style wooden beds, wardrobes and dining tables.
The "leftover materials" of the two sets of sofas and the wine cabinet must be used, which is barely enough.
The entire process of engraving the "Four Great Masterpieces" needs to adjust the "shape" of the characters in the "Four Great Masterpieces" or the choice of the "scene" of the story according to the shape and size of the "leftover materials" obtained from the sofa.
This is not surprising.Sometimes there is not enough wood, or no suitable ones can be found. Of course, the "carpenter" has to adapt to the situation and fine-tune the design plan in order to continue to complete the "Four Great Masterpieces".
It is impossible to plan these details thoroughly from the beginning, and there are even some things that cannot be predicted at the beginning.
At the critical moment, the skills and craftsmanship of a woodcarving master are very much tested.
After all, it is impossible for such a precious "small-leaf red sandalwood" to be opened to supply large logs, allowing you to cut and use it as you like.
Liang Teng instinctively decided that Wu Xiaolan should be a suitable sculptor.
As long as she works for two months and ensures that she is not seriously ill and bedridden, she will be able to successfully complete the task.
According to 5000 million pieces of famous woodcarving, 4 pieces of Liang Teng can recover 2 million cash.
What he paid was only Wu Xiaolan's labor and some fragments of precious wood.
The consumption of those woods (including the woodcarving of the "Four Great Masterpieces", including the production of two sets of 6-piece sofas, wine cabinets, and suspended ceilings), is estimated to require about half of his "small-leaf red sandalwood".
In reality, there are two sets of sofas, one for Wu Xia's father, and one for his super huge "hollow hall".
But Liang Teng is very good at life. From the beginning, he had no intention of making money on this.
Without Wu Xia's help, how could he have such a popular "wood carving market"?
Send a set of expensive furniture to her father, to win the favor of her and her family, it should be.
The set of sofas I keep is placed in the "hollow hall", which is regarded as one of my fixed assets.
If you are poor in the future, you can use this "small leaf red sandalwood" furniture to cash in,
Of course, if the business has been booming, these furniture can be kept as a kind of "fixed assets".Good to pass on to your grandchildren.
In the short term (referring to these two months), Liang Teng plans to realize about 2 million in cash from the inventory of "Xiaoye Zitan".
He is now preparing to raise cash.
Because Liang Teng has started to develop the shops along the two main streets behind the "King Building".
Preparations also need to be done more than a month in advance.
To develop these projects, design drawings need to be produced, and the plans need to be reported and announced to relevant departments.It is also known as "going through the program", which takes time.
Liang Teng has assigned Wu Xia to carry out the work related to "design" and "reporting".As for himself, the most urgent task now is to "raise funds."
Originally, only about three floors of "shops" were built along the main street of the city for sale, with a total length of 5 kilometers of shops on both sides, and an investment of 2 million yuan could be done well.
But only three floors were built, which was the real estate development model 20 years ago.
At that time, the cost of acquiring land was very low, and the developers were basically local companies with limited strength, so they hurriedly built three-story shops and sold them in a hurry to "return funds".
If all the shops are sold out, the profit can be about 3 times.Developers feel very cost-effective.
However, times have changed, and after many years, the cost of acquiring land has become higher and higher.The shops along the street, if they don't build more than seven floors, will not be able to recoup the cost of buying back the land.
Later, as good plots in the urban area became increasingly rare, even developers willing to invest in the "old city. Renovation".
The high cost of "renovation of the old city" lies in the high cost of compensation for demolition and relocation.Randomly requisitioning a dilapidated mud house of tens of square meters, looking at the mud house that was about to collapse, the original owner had to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation.
Developers want to make money, and this cost is of course included in the price of the building.
Liang Teng has seen a developer who won the "Old City. Renovation" project in Liang Teng's hometown. The "design drawings" and "effect bird's eye view" announced at the beginning were to build 11 buildings with a height of 16 floors. commercial housing.
But as the cost of demolition is getting higher and higher, and the expected profit is getting smaller and smaller, the developer is in a hurry, and finds someone to redesign and publicize it again.
The revised design has become 11 high-rise buildings with a height of more than 30 floors.
With this change in planning, the number of houses built almost doubled.
No way, the land is so small.If you want to make more money, you can only build more commercial housing.
Because Liang Teng is good at drawing experience from others, he initially thought about investing 3 million yuan to develop 5 kilometers of shops on both sides of the street, and that would be enough.About 8 floors of buildings along the street will be built.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it couldn't be so "bad. Collapsing".
In the future, it may not be possible to obtain such high-quality first-line land in the "open capital" at such a low cost.Therefore, the houses built along the street do not exceed 30 floors, and I feel a little sorry for my good luck.
To build a building with more than 30 floors, this is not a "small fight" of several hundred million.At least one billion yuan needs to be raised to carry out project operations.
More than a billion yuan, even Liang Teng, who already has a small amount of capital, thought that he really had to raise such a huge amount of money by himself in a short period of time, and he immediately felt the pressure of "overwhelming" overwhelming!
The huge pressure of fundraising forced Liang Teng to "follow his own preferences" to make woodcarvings of the "Four Great Masterpieces", hoping to get about 40 million in cash in just 2 days.
It seems that with sufficient cash flow in hand, a heart can be more at ease.
