Chapter 295
When everyone arrived, Zhang Junping didn't get angry or scold anyone, but told the story slowly, "Yesterday I chatted with Master, and Master told me that before liberation, there was a Jianghu sect called Jiangmen.
Master Du, you are all old craftsmen before liberation. I wonder if you have heard of Jiangmen? "
"Jiangmen?" Master Du's face changed drastically, revealing a look of reminiscence.
"Jiangmen is a sect formed by us craftsmen. It is said that at the time of its heyday, Jiangmen had 800 million members. My master was a craftsman of Jiangmen. Unfortunately, I was still young at the time, and I was only an apprentice carpenter, so I was not qualified to join. The country will be established..." Master Sun said with a look of nostalgia.
Although Master Sun didn't say anything after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Junping knew the meaning behind it.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, all creatures were not allowed to become spirits, and Jianghu sects were not allowed to exist, so the craftsman's school naturally disappeared, and only existed in the hearts of some old craftsmen.
"Back then, the master was the master of Muzitang." Master Du added beside him.
"Master?"
Zhang Junping was a little puzzled by Master's statement.
Shouldn't the master master refer to the one with the best craftsmanship in the workshop, or the foreman?How to use it to describe Dongjia.
Seeing the puzzled expression on Zhang Junping's face, Master Du explained with a smile: "Master is the name inside the craftsman's sect, and outsiders generally call it elder or hall master."
"Oh!" Only then did Zhang Junping realize that there is another set of titles in the Jiangmen: Master, Master, Craftsman, and Craftsman's Apprentice.
To the outside world, it is called with a more quack flavor, elder, hall master, incense master...
Zhang Junping nodded to show that he understood, and then continued to speak: "Master told me that there was a saying in the Jiangmen back then, that is, if you don't work hard, you will have nothing to eat.
There is a new China, a new society, and the craftsmen are gone, but this principle has not changed.
If you don't work hard, if you don't work hard, you will have nothing to eat.
Maybe you don’t care. Anyway, the furniture factory is not yours. If you work hard or not, as long as you do it, I, the factory manager, will have to pay you wages. Otherwise, you will have to sue me in the labor department.
Yes, you are right, I want to pay you wages, and not a penny less.
But can I?
You produced unqualified products, how can I explain to customers?
My word of mouth has been ruined, and customers no longer buy my furniture, what should my furniture factory do?
When I can't do it any more and the stalls are scattered, who will pay you wages?
I am not a state-owned factory. Without the support of the state, if I break up the stalls, I can only buy two pieces, each going back to each house, each looking for each mother. "
Zhang Junping's words made everyone chuckle.
"Do you think it's funny? Think I'm joking?
Let me tell you, the reality is crueler than this!
You are all craftsmen, if your crafts cannot make money, what else can you do?
It is no longer the same as before. In the past, it was a planned economy. As long as things were produced, how to sell them was the business of supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.
Now that the reform and opening up have begun, the planned economy has begun to transform into a market economy.
What is a market economy?
That is, you produce something, and you have to sell it yourself!Whether it sells well or not depends on whether customers like it or not.
With the development of reform and opening up, commodities will become more and more abundant in the future, and ordinary people will have more and more choices.
Why should people buy your stuff? "Zhang Junping asked loudly.
Without waiting for everyone to answer the question, he asked himself and answered: "There are two reasons why customers choose our furniture. First, the quality is excellent! Second, the style is novel and beautiful!"
Excellent quality, this is our lifeline!
Ask yourself, if you are buying furniture, should you buy a piece of furniture that can last for decades, or a piece of furniture that looks good but breaks after a few years? "
Everyone bowed their heads because of Zhang Junping's series of questions, even Master Du, Master Sun and other masters also bowed their heads, their faces turned red.
"You may feel that the difference is just over a millimeter anyway, and when assembled, it won't be noticeable, and it won't even shake.
However, do you know what the result will be with this millimeter error?
After less than two years of use, the furniture will become empty and shake.
Master Du, Master Sun, you are all old carpenters. You should know that the damage of a family's furniture often starts from shaking...
In modern society, when such a problem occurs, the customer will at best scold her, and then tell the neighbors not to buy our furniture in the future.
If this problem occurs on the furniture made for the palace in ancient times, it will be a matter of losing your head..."
Zhang Junping spoke earnestly and sternly, and he stopped everyone. Although he didn't criticize anyone by name, the eldest brother-in-law, Master Du and others almost stuffed their heads in their crotches in shame.
This is also playing the drum without a heavy hammer.
In fact, the problems detected by Zhang Junping are not called problems in all domestic furniture factories in later generations.
The error is about half a millimeter more than the allowable error value, and Zhang Junping will probably be regarded as picky in future furniture factories.
With an error of more than one millimeter and less than two millimeters, the furniture made will be used for three to five years without any problems.
After three to five years, the legs and feet of the furniture may shake. In the eyes of many people, this effect is not great.
However, in Zhang Junping's view, this represents a kind of thinking, a way of muddling along.
If left unchecked, there is an error of more than one millimeter now, and it may become an error of more than two millimeters in a month.
What's more, what Zhang Junping wants to create is the Rolls-Royce and Versace in the Chinese furniture industry.
At present, there is no soil for the survival of luxury brands in China. Zhang Junping's furniture factory is to let the eldest brother-in-law and the others practice their hands and learn crafts to lay the foundation for the future.
As a result, after just practicing his hands, he started to indulge himself, and Zhang Junping naturally got angry.
Just after Zhang Junping made a fuss, when everyone thought that the wages and bonuses would be deducted, Zhang Junping did what they thought, and announced: "Big brother-in-law and third brother, one of you will be the workshop director, and the other will be the quality inspection director. If there is a problem with the quality, you should take the main responsibility.
Therefore, deduct your monthly salary and half-year bonus, and stay in your job for inspection. "
Everyone showed such a look.
However, for the direct deduction of the half-year bonus, this punishment is a bit bitter.
"As for the others, your salaries and bonuses will not be deducted, but everyone must write an in-depth self-criticism, no less than [-] words.
If you want to stay in the factory and continue working, leave it to me tomorrow!
If you don't want to do it, you can go directly to the accountant to get your salary and leave! "After Zhang Junping finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving everyone a chance to speak.
Halfway through, he turned his head and said, "Oh, that's right! An announcement is made that our furniture factory will soon be reorganized into a Sino-Hong Kong joint venture furniture factory."
