Chapter 52 Bamboo Mat
Silent all night.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, just before dawn, Liu Xing was woken up by knocking on the door: "Son, don't go to sleep, get up quickly, someone is looking for you to discuss business over there."

"Who? It's so early?" Liu Xing got up from the bed reluctantly when he heard the words. He really didn't understand, even if it was business, couldn't his father come forward?Why do you have to wait for him to go.

In doubt, he and his mother came to the shed.

The person who called him to discuss business with him was a young woman in a red dress, with black eyebrows and phoenix eyes, tall and tall, holding a black handbag in her hand, with an extraordinary temperament.

Liu Xing stared blankly, then walked over: "What business do you want to discuss with me?"

"You are a workshop for bamboo products, of course it is bamboo products!" The young woman in red smiled and looked at Liu Xing: "Why... aren't you welcome?"

"Haha... no!" Liu Xing laughed, and reached out to lead the young woman in red to the dining table by the window.

After sitting down, he asked, "I don't know what bamboo products you need?"

"Bamboo mats are made of bamboo, that is, 'mats' in the dialect!" The young woman in red replied.

"Bamboo mat?" Liu Xing frowned upon hearing this, "The kind of bamboo mat used on the bed?"

"Yes, I opened a department store in the city, and recently I had an argument with a vendor who supplies bamboo mats, so I came to your place!" The young woman in red sat opposite Liu Xing: "I don't know if you are interested Take this long-term order."

"As far as I know, there are many kinds of bamboo mats, and the prices are very low!" Liu Xing replied with a frown: "If you want to do business with me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, at least in terms of price. "

The production process of bamboo mat is very complicated. It is generally made of water bamboo, moso bamboo, oil bamboo and other bamboos, and the bamboo skin is split into thin strips, which are woven by hand after steaming and soaking.

According to different materials, bamboo mats can be divided into green mats, yellow mats, flower mats and dyed bamboo mats.

The green mats are all woven with green mats, the yellow mats are all woven with yellow bamboo strips, the flower mats are green and yellow, and the color is bright, and the dyed mian mats are dyed with bamboo mites in various colors to weave patterns, which are generally used for decoration. .

Before he was reborn, Liu Xing knew that there was a bamboo mat on the market. It was made of moso bamboo, and the two-finger-wide bamboo pieces were made by stringing nylon ropes.This kind of bamboo mat is durable and suitable for Simmons soft beds, but it should not appear now.

And the most important point is that bamboo mats, a bamboo product, have appeared in more than 1000 years, and many people can make them. There is no technology at all, and there is no technology. If you want to make money, it may be a bit difficult.

The young woman in red didn't know what Liu Xing was thinking, she said: "It's not necessarily disappointment, what I value is quality, as long as your goods are good, money is not a problem, although the bamboo mats sold to me by those vendors before are all handmade , but the quality is so bad that my department store can't afford it, and I get complaints all the time!"

"The bamboo mats are all handmade?" Liu Xing was taken aback when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.

He has forgotten that it is 1993, and various small processing workshops have not yet sprung up in major cities. If there are, they are probably located in the developed coastal areas. That is to say, it is difficult to maintain the quality and quantity of bamboo mats in mass production. very high.

And there are many types of bamboo mats in his memory, such as those used on the bed, on the sofa, on the desk, etc., but they are always the same, and the hot sales period is only a few months in summer , When the weather is cold, it will not be able to sell. After all, bamboo products have a characteristic, that is, they are cool.

This cool feeling is cool in summer, but not in winter.

It's summer now, and the bamboo mats of the young woman in red probably sell well, so I found him early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said to the young woman in red: "Let me tell you the truth! Although this bamboo mat is a kind of bamboo mat, I have never made it before! So don't have too much confidence in me. "

"No! Your dustpan craftsmanship has given me a lot of confidence, I believe in your craftsmanship!" The young woman in red smiled and looked at Liu Xing: "Let me tell you the truth! It was Zhang Xiaoying who introduced me to you here."

"Zhang Xiaoying? Sister Zhang?" Liu Xing was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked in a voiceless voice, "Where is she now? I can't even see her!"

"In Banqiao Town, there are important matters that must be handled personally!" The young woman in red replied.

"Okay!" Liu Xing laughed and asked no further questions.

He knew that even if he asked, he probably wouldn't be able to find anything.

"My department store needs bamboo mats. The quantity is very large. I need at least a thousand sheets per month. Can you place this order?"

"Is that the kind of bamboo mat you need?" Liu Xing did not directly agree, but asked some details.

"Just the one with the mattress! The size is 1.5 meters wide, 1.8 meters wide, and 1.2 meters wide. As for the length, they are all two meters!" The young woman in red replied.

Seeing Liu Xing frown, she added: "If you feel unsure, I'll ask someone to send you some samples when I go back later, but the quality of the bamboo mats you produce can't be fooled by me, at least it's better than the samples. "

"It's not that I'm not sure, I just want to ask for clarification!" Liu Xinglian explained.

As long as the bamboo mat has a planer and a crushing machine, it is very simple for him.Of course, if you want to mass-produce, you must use other gadgets.

"Then make me one thousand 1.5-meter and one thousand 1.8-meter bamboo mats this month. This is the deposit!" The young woman in red took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills and put them on the dining table.

"Isn't it that I haven't told you how much a bamboo mat is? Are you so anxious to pay me a deposit?" Liu Xing spread his hands with a wry smile, and didn't know what to say for a while. The young woman in red in front of her, The character is really bold.

"Price it according to the price I bought from the vendor before! What's the point of talking about it!" The young woman in red replied.

"Tell me!" Liu Xing took the tea brought by his mother and poured a cup of hot tea into the cup in front of the young woman in red.

"Eight yuan for a 1.8-meter-wide piece, and six yuan for a 1.5-meter-wide one. This price should be right for you!" The young woman in red took out a stack of receipts from her black handbag: "You can see for yourself, these are all It's the receipt I used to buy the bamboo mat."

"Don't look, the price is low!" Liu Xing shook his head and replied.

"Then how much do you want?" The young woman in red was not angry, but looked at Liu Xing with a smile.

"Is it okay if I don't accept this order?" Liu Xing thought for a while, and finally expressed his thoughts.

The production of bamboo mats is simpler than that of bamboo baskets, but it is not that simple. Now his breakfast shop is about to open, and there are still a lot of dustpans that have not been delivered by Sister Zhang. They picked up another thousand yesterday. If he takes an order for a basket of bamboo mats, he will be overwhelmed.

Therefore, it must be rejected.

people.

The most important thing is to have self-knowledge.

You can do as many things as you can.

This is the valuable experience he has accumulated over the decades since his rebirth.

However, the young woman in red didn't agree at all. She seemed to be angry: "Liu Xing, I was introduced by Zhang Xiaoying. If you don't give me some face, can't you give Zhang Xiaoying some face?"
