Chapter 214 Family Business 4
Chapter 214 Family Business 4
Wang Jinyi silently took out the work manual from the drawer and opened it page by page.
In order to find Chen Zhiyuan, he was determined to make money and spread Taisheng rice throughout the Daqi Dynasty.
In order to earn money to open a shop, he set up a needlework room in the inner courtyard and opened the Zhen Workshop.
The initial idea was simple, just to expand the channels for making money, but as time went on, Wang Jinyi found that he really liked the feeling of being busy.
With the help of Zhu Yu Niang, many of her own designs were able to be serialized, which enabled the business to expand rapidly. Even the elders in the clan who were in charge of business operations came several times just to finalize a cooperative relationship with Wang Jinyi and jointly develop women's fashion items.
I still remember that it was the month when my parents just passed away. The elder in charge of the clan’s business made a special trip to Xunyang Prefecture to listen to Wang Jinyi’s opinions. They reached an agreement that Wang Jinyi would design a series of shoulder bags, which would then be processed and sold by the clan. This was the first time that Wang Jinyi opened the door to business with design.
Next, Wang Jinyi established Zhen Workshop to develop and produce artificial flowers, and later processed them into headwear, home decorations, and clothing accessories. Once the idea of simulation was opened, artificial decorations and artificial toys appeared. With the help of his grandfather, he set up a craftsman workshop in the front yard.
When Qiaojiangfang was first established, it was just because I thought of it. In addition to artificial flowers, it can also make artificial toys. All the gifts I made for Chen Zhiyuan in my previous life can be reproduced. Besides, this is also a kind of wish of mine...
Later, Wang Jinyi discovered that in this era, many things were related to carpentry, and he wanted to set up a carpentry workshop. He even thought of the topic for the test of carpenters, which was a conch-shaped bookcase.
After the notice for recruiting carpenters was posted, many people came in an endless stream. Wen Bai was responsible for registering the personnel information, and Wang Luanhe was responsible for organizing the preliminary screening. The west door of the house was blocked every day. After recruiting nearly sixty people, they stopped recruiting.
At that time, my grandfather asked himself:
"Jin'er, what are you going to do? Why do you need so many carpenters?"
"Grandfather, this is just a preliminary screening. It's very likely that none of them will be used."
"Oh?"
"Grandfather, I want to build a new bookcase. Here, this is it!"
Grandfather turned the blueprint around and looked at it, then asked:
"What is this?"
"A bookcase."
"Why is it like this?"
"I want a new bookcase that surrounds me. That's what I thought."
"Jin'er, tell Grandfather how you drew this picture. You drew it, but how is the craftsman going to make it?"
"My grandfather would break down the blueprint, enlarge it, draw it, and hand it over to the craftsmen. This is also my purpose of finding the carpenter of my choice."
"Jin'er wants to find someone who can make bookshelves like yours, right?"
"Grandfather, this is a spiral. If you can read this blueprint, at least you will understand what the Pythagorean theorem of trigonometry is. Maybe you have learned mathematics, then..."
"Oh, Jin'er, you understand all this? Then tell Grandfather what the Pythagorean theorem of triangles is!"
From that day on, Wang Jinyi and his grandfather studied the Mathematical Classics together after dinner every day. Later, his grandmother also joined in to ease his grandfather's inferiority complex as a poor student.
After dinner every day, the grandparents brought their little granddaughter to the study in the front yard, saying that the three of them were studying the "Arithmetic Classics" together, but in fact it was Wang Jinyi who was reading the "Arithmetic Classics" and the two old people were listening carefully.
Wang Jinyi carefully concealed her ability and pretended that she had just started learning. She read and studied with her grandparents and did her homework seriously.
Often, he could only learn a theorem or an example in one night. Sometimes Wang Jinyi got so anxious that his attitude became extremely bad, and his grandfather got so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Wang Jinyi would slowly calm down and repeatedly give examples to explain. Just think about it, a grandfather who is nearly 50 years old can still humbly ask for advice. At least this enthusiasm for learning is precious.
In fact, to this day, the "Mathematical Classics" has not been finished. In order to let his grandfather have some free time, Wang Jinyi said that he needed to learn it first, and then study with the two elders after learning it well, so the mathematics training class after dinner was suspended...
It was after this study of the Mathematical Classics that the grandparents began to love Wang Jinyi abnormally, even to the point of being biased towards her without any principles.
Wang Jinyi successfully established the Craftsmen's Workshop. He sketched the products, wrote down the product performance and introduction, and sent them to the clan. Soon the clan leader who was in charge of the business came again.
This time, the clan leader brought a craftsman named Ban, and Wang Jinyi showed them marionette toys, clockwork frogs, cars with wheels, puzzle toys, and movable joint dolls that girls liked.
The intention of cooperation was reached immediately, and the clan leader brought a group of craftsmen and a bunch of samples, and the clan leader and his duo returned to the tribe that night.
Soon the clan sent someone to discuss cooperation, and the deal was successfully concluded. Wang Jinyi had another project to generate dividends, which was to develop toys. Wang Jinyi designed them, and the craftsmen made samples and handed them over to the clan for production.
This time Wang Jinyi wanted to recruit carpenters, so my grandfather naturally wanted to help. He also participated in the assessment of the final 60 people. Later, he found that once the carpenters started to work, they could not display their skills in the cross-courtyard at all, so the assessment was temporarily cancelled.
At Wang Jinyi's suggestion, Wang Jinyi paid for the house himself and with the help of his grandfather, he bought the first house in his name.
Originally, Grandfather took Wang Jinyi to see several houses in the city, but he thought they were small and expensive, so he decided to expand the east courtyard and use it as a carpentry workshop for Wang Jinyi.
Wang Jinyi felt that no matter what the reason was, this was not right, so he persuaded his grandfather to go out of the city and start looking for a suitable house. Later, he bought a spacious abandoned house less than a mile away from the city.
This house is shabby and dilapidated. If it is bought as a house, no one will like it. It is precisely for this reason that it finally fell into the hands of Wang Jinyi.
In Wang Jinyi's opinion, it has two major advantages. The first is that it covers a large area, the second is that it has convenient transportation, and of course one more is that it is really cheap.
Wang Jinyi felt like he had found a treasure. The dilapidated yard could allow these 60 craftsmen to do their internship and assessment while helping to rebuild the abandoned house, which was really killing two birds with one stone.
The house has been built and the assessment is basically over.
Wang Jinyi selected the best according to the plan and kept 6 carpenters who signed the contract. She also kept the information of the remaining craftsmen, paid them their wages, and those who should leave left, while those who should stay were divided into groups to make various unprecedented wooden products according to the young lady's designs.
The first finished product produced by the carpenter's workshop was a conch-shaped bookcase. Later, a small crossbow was made according to the young lady's design. At that time, it was given to Chen Zhiyuan as a demonstrative toy. Now Wang Jinyi wants to make it and give it to her brother as a gift.
After it was made according to the drawings, my grandfather and Wang Jinyi went together to watch the finished product for a test firing. There was no metal arrowhead, only a wooden pin tip, temporarily used as an arrow. Perhaps even the carpenter did not expect that the wooden arrow would get stuck in the tree trunk on the first try. It can be seen that a small handheld crossbow can be so powerful!
The grandfather looked at his granddaughter with surprise, suppressing his uncontrollable excitement.
