Chapter 155: Bargain Master (Fifth)

Yang Fan, who was riding a bicycle, noticed Jiang Dahai's expression.

So, he immediately asked with concern: "Why, haven't you found a suitable carpenter?"

According to Yang Fan, a carpenter with a good level must be hired. After buying back the wood, the carpenter will tailor the whole house according to Yang Fan's design and requirements, and make a lot of furniture, including tables, cabinets and so on.

Jiang Dahai sighed softly, "The carpenter has been invited, is that the Master Pan I told you about last time?"

"I know." Yang Fan nodded.

Last time I heard from Jiang Dahai that Master Pan is an old carpenter. His family has been carpenters for generations, and their level is good, and they are well-known in the neighborhood.

"Master Pan promised to do the carpentry work for our family, but he also said that he himself is too old to come and do the carpentry work himself, and his son will make the furniture for us."

his son.

Yang Fan was slightly taken aback, and asked, "How old is his son, how long has he been working as a carpenter, and how is his level?"

This is what Yang Fan is very concerned about.

If the level is average, it may not be possible to make the furniture according to the design requirements, and the decoration of the house may be difficult to achieve the design effect.

"Old Master Pan is already in his sixties, and his son should be around 40 years old. He has been working as a carpenter with Old Pan since he was a child. He has worked for more than 20 years, and his level should be good."

That's good, that's good!

Although I couldn't hire Master Pan with better skills and more experience, it was acceptable to have his son come over.

It's an ideal situation.

Yang Fan nodded in satisfaction, while riding his bicycle, he chatted with Jiang Dahai or Jiang Yan from time to time, feeling that the time passed quickly, four or five 10 minutes felt like it didn't take long.

"In front is a timber market, basically all private." Jiang Dahai pointed to the front.

Yang Fan also saw it.

This is a large open-air market, and the scale is not small. From a distance, you can see a lot of wood piled up, and you can also see some simple wooden houses, which are probably built by private shopkeepers for living.

Bike into the market, find a place to park the car.

The three arrived in front of a certain store.

It is said to be a lumber shop, but it is actually open-air. There are a lot of lumber piled up on the site, and there are lumber of various materials and sizes.

"Boss, how do you sell this wood?"

This is Chinese fir, each with a diameter of about 10 centimeters, that is, the circumference of the wood is about 30 centimeters, and the length is about 3 meters.

In the timber industry, it is generally called lumber with a circumference (chest and girth) of about 30 centimeters, 30 timber, 40 centimeters with a circumference of 40 centimeters, and so on.

The boss is a middle-aged man with dark skin, probably due to frequent sun exposure. Seeing that he came to the door with deep intentions, he immediately came over enthusiastically.

"This is a [-]-cent fir tree, each of which costs [-] yuan and [-] cents."

My boy! ! !
Yang Fan was speechless secretly, thinking in his heart, such a thick piece of fir wood only costs more than five yuan, which is really cheap.

In this era, wood resources are relatively abundant, and money is also valuable. A piece of wood like this really only costs a few dollars. It’s just that Yang Fan came to buy things for the first time, and when he heard the quotation from the boss, he thought it was very cheap.

However, Jiang Dahai felt that it was too expensive.

Immediately counter-offer: "It's too expensive, too expensive."

While repeatedly saying that it was too expensive, he shook his head.

Jiang Yan and Yang Fan looked at each other and smiled.

Especially Yang Fan, thought in his heart, he couldn't see that Uncle Jiang was a master at bargaining, no wonder the gravel and tiles he bought before were not expensive.

The boss said helplessly: "Brother, it's not expensive at all. I didn't ask for a price."

But Jiang Dahai still felt that it was more expensive. After looking at it here, he changed to the second one, and then the third one.
Shop around.

Yang Fan also knew this, followed Jiang Dahai to look at a lot of wood, and then he knew the price of the wood.

Generally speaking, the price of wood is not expensive.

It was even a little bit beyond Yang Fan’s expectation. He didn’t expect that the wood in this era is so cheap. A good Chinese fir is basically around a few yuan. Even the thicker wood, such as 40 yuan, is not more than ten yuan. .

Jiang Dahai is obviously a master at bargaining.

In this way, Yang Fan felt relieved.

Of course, Yang Fan's bargaining is not bad, but with this prospective father-in-law, he doesn't need to bargain with those timber bosses, but only occasionally helps to play the side drum.

At the boss of a relatively large company with a large amount of wood piled up, after some bargaining, a deal was finally negotiated.

I got my wish and bought the wood.

I bought a total of more than 200 yuan, mainly 30 and 40 fir, and also bought a small amount of pine, camphor and red toon.

Yang Fan asked for door-to-door delivery, and the boss readily agreed.

After paying a deposit of 50 yuan, the boss issued a receipt, and the business was negotiated. It was agreed to deliver the wood in the afternoon.

The three happily left the wood market.

Jiang Yan said: "Dad, I can't see that you bargain so hard."

"Yes." Yang Fan also felt the same way, "Uncle Jiang is really good at bargaining, and the boss said he was going to lose money."

After speaking, all three of them laughed happily.

Generally speaking, it is really a good deal to buy so much wood for more than 200 yuan.

At noon, I had dinner at my prospective father-in-law's house.

In the afternoon Yang Fan went back to Donghai Institute and waited in the new house for the wood to be delivered. At about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the car came, and it was full.

Yang Fan instructed them to unload the wood on the open space in front of the building, arrange it neatly, count the quantity, and then settle the accounts, which is considered to have completed a major event.

The wood for making furniture was finally bought back.

Some people know Yang Fan, and when they see Yang Fan and the wood, they usually greet him proactively, "Director Yang, I'm going to buy wood and ask a carpenter to make furniture."

"The wood is nice."

"How much did it cost?"

"."

Faced with everyone's greetings and inquiries, Yang Fan often smiled and answered enthusiastically.

When someone learned that so much wood only cost more than 200 yuan, he was suddenly surprised and envious, "It's really cheap, it's a good deal!"

"The furniture in our house is basically bought. It costs more than 80 for a wardrobe alone. You only have 200 for so much wood. This can make a lot of furniture."

Yang Fan smiled happily.

I also think it is very cost-effective, and there is a feeling of picking up a big deal.

I also thought in my heart, Uncle Jiang still haggles the price very badly. If it is replaced by a beneficiary, it is estimated that there is not more than 300 yuan, and I will definitely not be able to buy it back.

Two days later.

Master Pan, who works as a carpenter, came here. Jiang Dahai brought them here. There were three people in total. An old man who looked to be in his 60s and was in good spirits was Old Master Pan.

A 40-year-old is Pan Maoyuan, the son of Master Pan.There is also a person younger than Yang Fan, who is Pan Maoyuan's apprentice.

"Thank you for your hard work, I will leave it to you here."

Yang Fan greeted them politely and took out cigarettes, one for each of them.

Pan Maoyuan took the cigarette, "We just get paid for our work, that's too polite."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Pan Maoyuan asked: "If you have any requirements, what kind of furniture do you want to make, just tell us."

It can be seen that he still has some confidence in his carpentry skills.

As long as Yang Fan makes a request, he will definitely make everything.

Yang Fan didn't talk nonsense, took out the blueprints he brought over, and unfolded one of them. This is the design rendering of the living room.

"I want to create some furniture according to this design."

Facing the drawings, he talked about some of his ideas and requirements.

Immediately, Pan Maoyuan became a little restless.

Eyes wide open.

He has worked as a carpenter for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has seen someone come up with such a drawing. The key is that the design is very beautiful and high-grade.

Not only Pan Maoyuan, but also the old master Pan next to him became eager.

There is also such a design.

Great, great!

In addition to admiring, Old Master Pan looked at the drawings again and again, and was very moved. He hadn't performed the knife himself for several years, and his son basically did the carpentry.

I came here today just to take a look, give his son some advice, and then go back, mainly leaving his son to work here.

Gradually, he had an idea.

Such a good design drawing, he wanted to do it himself, feeling a little itchy.

"It's well designed, it's really level, how about it, I will be here these days, doing carpentry work with Maoyuan."

what!
Pan Maoyuan's eyes were wide open, and he seriously suspected that he had heard wrong.

He knew that his father hadn't done carpentry work himself for several years, and today the sun must have come out from the west.

Where's Yang Fan?
Happy.

I was very happy in my heart, and I fully understood that my few design drawings convinced the old carpenter and made him want to help me with the carpentry work.

This is wow!

Simply good!

Such an experienced old carpenter, if he comes to do these carpentry jobs, the design effect can be best reflected, and such a design of his own is not in vain.

While being happy, Yang Fan talked with the other party.

In addition to explaining my own design and some requirements, I also negotiated wages.

The wages are not expensive, very cost-effective.

Then, under the leadership of Yang Fan, he looked at the wood, and went upstairs to see the specific situation of the house. Combining the house and design drawings, Yang Fan talked about these designs.

Yang Fan explained in detail, and there are design drawings, Lao Pan and his son fully understand how to do it.

That's it. Old Pan, father and son, together with the young apprentice, will do carpentry work here for the next few days.

In the days to come, Yang Fan can only come over occasionally to take a look.

They'll get all the carpentry done, put it up there horizontally, and it'll do a nice job.

at this time.

The design of the 052 ship of the East China Sea Institute has entered the final finishing stage, and the progress of the East China Sea Shipyard is also good.

...............

That's all for today's update, thank you all!
