Chapter 202

Zhou Anbei said: "Gao Yong doesn't study anymore and comes to find me to play every day. A while ago, Uncle Gao forced him to learn carpentry, and then he pulled me to go to the city with his dad every day to make furniture for people.

At first, I also wanted to learn carpentry and have a skill to mix food, after all, I am seventeen, and I can't always hang around at home. But after I followed for a few days, I found that when people in the city make furniture, they all go to buy wood themselves.

Then find a carpenter, and then communicate with the carpenter about their needs and the style of the furniture. The carpenter then works according to the employer's description. This is time-consuming and laborious, and the furniture made in the end, the employer may not be satisfied.

For example, this time, Uncle Gao was busy for more than half a month. After the furniture was made, the employer was not satisfied, and only gave half of the wages, almost fighting.

So I thought, recruit a few carpenters myself, make furniture of various styles, and then rent a storefront in the city, put the furniture in it, and customers can see the style very intuitively. Then after customers choose, we will do it according to what the customers choose.

In this way, customers will definitely be satisfied, and they don't have to waste time buying wood and communicating with carpenters, let alone worry about the carpenter's work not being good and staring at it every day."

In the early 1990s, not to mention Jiangzhou, a fourth-tier small city, even second- and third-tier cities didn't have the concept of decoration, let alone decoration companies. Most people used the word "tidy up" when decorating a new home. Basically, they all found odd jobs on the side of the street, and the quality was hard to guarantee.

Home display was also practical first, and rigid demand was king. It was white walls and cement floors, with half-human-high green, yellow, or blue paint on the walls as wall skirts.

And the terrazzo floor that shone brightly throughout the 1990s had just emerged. Families with good conditions would make this kind of terrazzo floor. Families who were a bit particular would also splice them into patterns in the center of the living room and then inlay copper strips.

As for furniture, it was still dominated by high and low cabinets, similar to concave cabinets, just high on one side and low on the other, with a TV in the middle. The kind of combination cabinets popular in big cities in the south were also sold in Jiangzhou shopping malls, but the price was too expensive, and few people were willing to spend money to buy them.

And there was a drawback, whether it was style or specification, it was fixed. If the place was small, it couldn't be put down, and if the place was big, it would definitely leave a gap. Therefore, many people went to the side of the street to find carpenters to make this kind of combination cabinet.

However, the carpenter's craftsmanship had good and bad, and the quality of the cabinets made was naturally good and bad, and disputes were common.

Zhou Andong looked at Zhou Anbei. This kid was still catching fish in the river and digging bird nests in the tree before the New Year. How did he suddenly grow up after the New Year? It made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Brother!" Zhou Anbei called.

Zhou Andong came back to his senses, raised his hand and rubbed Zhou Anbei's head: "Grown up, really grown up."

Zhou Anbei grinned: "Do you agree?"

"Fine, you do it, brother supports you!"

Zhou Andong was really happy. Obviously, this was what Zhou Anbei had observed and thought about carefully before telling him. What surprised him most was that this kid's idea was very correct. The furniture industry, the trend in the future, is whole-house customization.

"Xiao Bei, have you ever thought that after customers choose furniture styles, you go to the customer's home to measure the size and customize it according to the size of the space? Let the furniture and space achieve a perfect combination."

Zhou Anbei's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Brother, tell me carefully."

Zhou Andong told him in detail about the concept of whole-house customization: "This whole-house customization is just theoretical now. How to do it, you still need to explore slowly yourself."

Zhou Anbei fell into deep thought. Zhou Andong didn't disturb him and turned into the room.

Seeing Jian Qiu asked with a smile: "What's the matter with finding you, mysterious."

Zhou Andong said: "He wants to do business."

"What?" Zhou Xiaoxin heard it, "What did you say, Xiao Bei wants to do business? What business can he do, don't toss around."

Zhou Andong said: "Don't worry about it, I have a count in my heart."

Seeing Jian Qiu asked curiously: "What business does he want to do?"

Zhou Andong said: "Furniture!"

"Furniture?" Seeing Jian Qiu pondered for a while, "Xiao Bei has very good ideas."

Zhou Andong asked in surprise: "Do you think it's feasible?"

"Of course!" Seeing Jian Qiu said: "The real estate market has been liberalized. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the public has money in their hands, and improving the home environment is the trend. The furniture industry will definitely have great development."

Zhou Andong gave a thumbs up. He lived two lives, Seeing Jian Qiu didn't, and she really used the current vision to analyze the future.

Seeing Jian Qiu glared at Zhou Andong: "I went back to Beijing last time, and a friend opened a decoration company, and the business was extremely good. In the future, the home decoration industry will also have great prospects."

"Xiao Bei, it's time to eat." Yuan Liying shouted, and then put the table, "You guys eat some more."

Zhou Andong shook his head: "Just finished eating, not eating."

Zhou Anbei walked in excitedly: "Brother, what you just told me makes me more and more confident."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "As long as you do two points, you will definitely succeed."

Zhou Anbei said eagerly: "Which two points?"

Zhou Andong said: "Quality and service, you must put this in the first place. Free delivery to home, responsible for installation, don't ignore quality because of making money, and don't be afraid of trouble and ignore service.

From the moment the customer enters the store to choose, you have to think about problems from the customer's perspective. Everything must be based on the customer. If they have requirements, try every effort to satisfy them.

Then it is in craftsmanship, to constantly explore, strive for excellence, do better, and let customers not pick out flaws. If there is a problem, don't escape, solve it with the greatest sincerity and make customers satisfied."

Zhou Anbei nodded vigorously: "I remember it."

Zhou Andong continued: "The customer is God. You have to let every customer who enters the store feel the treatment of God. Even if they don't buy furniture from you, you have to smile and say welcome to visit next time. Because everyone has the possibility to become your loyal customer in the future. Only in this way can you make the business bigger and stronger."

Zhou Anbei hesitated: "Brother, the good-looking furniture sold in our Jiangzhou shopping mall is all transported from the south. I also heard that making furniture there uses machines, so I want to go to the south to see."

Zhou Andong asked: "You go by yourself?"

Zhou Anbei shook his head: "Go with Gao Yong. I don't understand, but he is influenced by what he sees and hears, and he is definitely better than me."

Zhou Andong asked again: "Do you plan to do furniture business with Gao Yong?"

Zhou Anbei said: "I think so, but Uncle Gao doesn't agree, so I thought about bringing him by my side to help me and pay him a salary."

Zhou Andong suddenly thought of Wu Cheng. That kid is very clever and has a set of sales. He is a material for doing business. And he always told him he wanted to do business. Now he can give him a chance.

"Fine, when you discuss when to leave, notify me first, I will introduce someone to you, let him go with you."...
