Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 49 Additional Orders
Boss Xue looked at the time: "Xiao Liu, let's not talk about those asides. I want to make an additional order for a pair of bamboo baskets for eight yuan. Before, there were one hundred pairs of baskets, and I will add another four hundred pairs."

"I also want to place an order for five hundred pairs of baskets!" Boss Wang continued.

"I'm sorry, the quantity is too large, I'm afraid it won't be produced!" Liu Xing directly refused.

This is the truth, his goal and focus are on the breakfast shop, but he has no intention to toss this unprofitable basket. Even if it is to make money, the order is not long-term, it is periodic, so how to choose has long been in his mind. plan.

"No, we don't require you to deliver the goods in one go. Wouldn't it be okay for you to ask your staff to weave baskets when you have time?" Boss Xue spread his hands and asked anxiously.

Boss Wang didn't speak. He glanced at the bamboo piled up in the shed and a large number of broken semi-finished strips, and the broom could not help but frown.

Such a scene can only explain one thing, that is, the business of Liu Xing's Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop is really good, otherwise how could he refuse the door-to-door business.

The basket orders he and Boss Xue added up to a thousand pairs. If this was placed in the hands of other bamboo craftsmen, they would definitely be so excited that they would not be able to sleep at night.

But the young boy in front of him had a look of disdain, it really slapped him in the face!
Originally, they wanted to rely on large orders as capital to lower the overall price of Luokung, but now it seems that it is good not to increase the price.

Thinking of this, Boss Wang shook his head and said to Liu Xing, "I don't ask how long it will take to deliver the goods, I just want to have baskets to sell within the next two to three months."

Liu Xing felt that this matter was strange, he hesitated and wanted to refuse, but was disturbed by his father Liu Dagen who rushed over after hearing the news, Liu Dagen said: "Have the two bosses eaten, if they didn't eat together!"

"We ate early!" Boss Wang cupped his hands.

"I ate it too, Boss Liu, you're welcome!" Boss Xue replied with a naive smile.

"Oh, then what are you talking about with my son for a long time?" Liu Dageng moved a chair and sat down.

"Increase the order for baskets, the quantity is [-] pairs!" Boss Xue replied.

"I also need five hundred pairs of baskets, but your son said he didn't have time, so he turned us down." Boss Wang laughed and explained the reason.

"This is a good thing! Why are you refusing?" Liu Dageng looked at Liu Xing suspiciously.

"Sister Zhang's [-] dustpans have not been finished yet! Do you know how long it will take to make [-] pairs of baskets?" Liu Xing asked helplessly.

In the eyes of my father, any business that can make money must not be let go, but this conflicts with his plan!
No matter how good the business of bamboo products is, it will not last for a long time.

When you react, it will be difficult if you want to change.

When Liu Dageng was questioned by Liu Xing, he immediately knew that he had caused trouble, but he was a father, so he couldn't lose face in front of outsiders, so he forced a smile on his face: "I just heard from the two bosses that there is no time requirement, you Just promise them! Anyway, a thousand pairs of baskets are not much.”

"Dad, you..." Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Boss Wang quickly took out 500 yuan and handed it to Liu Dageng: "Hi! After talking for so long, you are still generous and easy to talk about. This is a deposit of [-] baskets. You take it!"

"I'm also giving you 300 yuan!" Boss Xue took out his wallet with a silly smile.

In Liu Xing's eyes, this scene secretly thought, isn't this a typical use of him as a display?Turn around and leave in annoyance, can't he just leave it alone?Anyway, Sister Xiuqing can make baskets, and everything can't be returned to the basket.

Liu Dagen wanted to stop Liu Xing to explain, but in the end he still couldn't say what was on his lips, but sent Boss Wang and Boss Xue away.

At the dining table, Liu Xing immersed himself in his meal.

Ignore the gazes of family members sitting around.

"Ahem..." Liu Dagen, who came back, coughed lightly and sat aside: "Son, don't blame your father's decision. There are some things you have to consider for everyone. Although there are still thousands of Sister Zhang's dustpans Make it, but with our hundreds of shipments a day, how long can he last?"

"How long does it last? You don't want to rely on the craftsmanship of the bamboo craftsman for the rest of your life, do you?" Liu Xing didn't want to answer at first, but he finally said it helplessly: "I don't know if you have any plans in mind, Anyway, my plan is to go home and build a red brick house after I finish making sister Zhang’s dustpan. This house doesn’t have any, so I don’t have much energy to do anything.”

These words deeply hurt Liu Dageng's heart, as well as Zhu Meiling's. The two of them looked at each other silently, and finally lowered their heads in shame.

I really didn't expect that my son was only 14 years old, and he had such a far-reaching plan, and they only saw the benefits in front of them and were complacent. If Liu Xing hadn't spoken out what was in his heart, I'm afraid they would still be a pair of stupid people who don't know what to do .

Liu Xing was right.

What's the use of making money if you don't even have a home.

Their adobe-brick home would have collapsed if they hadn't been overthrown and rebuilt.

"Oh... son, I am sorry for you and this family!" Liu Dagen sighed, "How about I return the deposits of Boss Wang and Boss Xue?"

"Do you think it's still too late?" Liu Xing leaned on the chair and spread his hands: "Don't forget, you are the owner of this bamboo workshop, so there is no reason to go back on what you say."

The most important thing in life is reputation. If the reputation is gone, then this bamboo workshop will not be far from closing down.

"That's true." Liu Dageng laughed.

"Let Sister Xiuqing make the baskets by herself!" Liu Xing looked at Zhu Xiuqing who was busy making dustpans: "Among the natal families invited by Mom, only Sister Xiuqing can make baskets, others including Dad You can't meet the requirements."

These words are the truth, and they definitely don't mean to hit Liu Dageng.

But Liu Dageng blushed.

He didn't have the skills of a bamboo craftsman to make baskets, but he forced himself to take the order for baskets. If Liu Xing didn't help him, he would probably be scolded to death by Boss Xue and Boss Wang.

"How long does it take for Xiuqing to make a thousand orders by herself?" Zhu Meiling couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you hire more people to help?"

Liu Dageng also meant the same thing, he looked at Liu Xing expectantly.

In his eyes, if one more person does things, it may help him make more money.

However, Liu Xing shook his head and denied it: "The craftsmanship of making baskets is very demanding, and ordinary bamboo craftsmen can't make one in a day. Mom, do you think it is a good thing to invite more people to help?"

"This..." Zhu Meiling didn't believe Liu Xing's words, so she left the dining table and went to ask Zhu Xiuqing about the situation.

After a while, she came back, and glared at her husband Liu Dageng angrily: "It's all your fault, I'm making trouble for myself if I have nothing to do."

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Dageng was very puzzled.

"Xiuqing said that making baskets is very complicated, ten times more complicated than a dustpan. If we really need to hire someone to help, we won't make any money at all. My natal family also said the same, they don't even know how to make baskets! "Zhu Meiling replied angrily.

"Ah?" Liu Dageng was dumbfounded.

Liu Xing laughed when he heard the words: "Mom, it's not as scary as you said, and of course it's not as simple as what Dad said. Now that everything is like this, don't worry, I will take care of it."

"That's good!" Zhu Meiling breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned his head and gave Liu Dageng a blank look: "You said that you are not as good as your son, and you don't know as much as your son, so don't get involved in everything."

"I know, why don't you set an example?" Liu Dagen ran away with a wry smile. He swore in his heart that he would never push himself forward again, because the consequences of pushing himself forward would be very serious!
