Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 386 64. Buddha Statue and Shrine

"What... What is [-] Hong Kong dollars? Does our family have so much money? You drank again at noon today, and you are talking nonsense here." The young man winked at his father desperately, and pouted at Sanzang.

"Don't wink, this is a relative of our family, and your brother-in-law is his subordinate, who works for him, but our family's wealth is not as valuable as the clothes on other people's clothes." Dou Zhishan laughed at himself.

"Our relatives?! My brother-in-law's boss?!" The young man looked at Sanzang in surprise.

Dou Zhishan ignored his youngest son's question and quickly introduced it to Sanzang, "Nephew, I'm sorry to let you read a joke for a long time. This is my second boy Xiaogu, and the boss Xiaokuan is still at work and hasn't come back yet."

"Where is it, although he is a little reckless, he is also commendable for his filial piety." Sanzang smiled and waved his hands, praising him.

"Haha, he only has this bit of filial piety left." Dou Zhishan smiled, satisfied with his youngest son, and then waved to him, "Come quickly and meet your elder brother."

"Big...Brother." Dou Xiaogu timidly walked towards Sanzang and shouted stammeringly.

"Well, sit next to me. I also have something to ask you." Sanzang nodded kindly, and stretched out his hand to gesture for the empty seat next to him. I don't know how Dou Wanqing introduced herself in the letter, so let's just be the eldest brother.

"Hey." Dou Xiaogu saw that Sanzang's expression did not seem to be fake, he quickly walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair from below and sat down quietly.

"I heard what you said just now. It seems that you want to ask your father to use the money to do business. What kind of business are you going to do?" Sanzang picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"What kind of business can I do again? I'm just doing my job. I want to find a store in Zhushikou, where I can make furniture and sell it. I can also pick up jobs and make furniture for others. I've said it many times, but my dad just doesn't agree." After Dou Xiaogu finished speaking, he looked at his father complainingly.

"This idea sounds good, uncle, why don't you agree?" Sanzang looked at Dou Zhishan suspiciously.

"Nephew, I don't know. We all make hardwood furniture in Beijing. The first one has to choose the right wood. Now the good wood is in the hands of the public, and there are very few private hands.

Another point is that even if you get good wood and the furniture is finished, the cost of materials, labor and carving is not small. If you sell it at a low price, you will lose money.

Rich people go directly to Long Shuncheng to order, the quality is guaranteed and the price is fair, not much better than you, such a shop is guaranteed to be yellow in three months. " Dou Zhishan broke his fingers and told the inside story in detail.

"Understood, this is really a way to know each other." Sanzang kept nodding after hearing this.

"Then we can make some ordinary fir and camphor wood furniture for sale, who told you to make those fancy Beijing-made hardwood furniture." Dou Xiaogu said weakly, still unconvinced.

"Hey, you earn hard money, and you don't have much? When I was young, I didn't need you to tell me, I did it myself, but now I am old and old, and I can't do it anymore.

Besides, there is an unwritten rule in our line of business, everyone has their own business scope, and they are not allowed to cross the line casually. I am at this age, and there are a lot of disciples and grandchildren, and I even cross the line and run into other people's businesses to grab people's food. , plainly makes people laugh.

If we want to do it, we have to do some technical work. What's the point of earning those hard-earned money? "Dou Zhishan didn't take it seriously when he heard what his youngest son said. The so-called money is a hero's courage. Since he started working, he has been paid a lot of money. The eldest daughter married the son of a capitalist.
His vision has always been very high, and his eldest daughter gave him 2 Hong Kong dollars to keep his capital in the box last year, so now he doesn't even look down on working hard from morning to night to earn a little money.

"When is your old calendar? You are not allowed to cross the line? No one cares about it now. Who doesn't want to do technical work? But then we have to have connections. My sister and brother-in-law made a fortune in Hong Kong City ,
But still can't help much. "Du Xiaogu listened to the constant complaints. He was also forced. He stayed in the countryside for many years. After returning to the city, he didn't have a formal job. He has been working as a temporary worker, and he couldn't find the one he likes.
Since his sister returned home in a beautiful way last year, more and more people came to him for a blind date. He knew what was going on, and they all had various purposes, so they finally fell in love with one. There was also a fight yesterday.

"Okay, okay, I know you have suffered a bit, don't always blame others, people still have to rely on themselves, I'm talking about business with your elder brother, I'll talk about your business later." Dou Zhishan waved his hands repeatedly, stopping the younger son Make complaints.

"Is there any way for me here? How about it? Are you interested in helping me with work?" Sanzang looked at Dou Xiaogu and tried to extend an invitation. This is a person who is unappreciated for his talents but desperately eager to change the status quo.

"What are you doing? I can only do carving, and I don't know how to do other jobs." Dou Xiaogu rubbed his hands, and said a little unconfidently.

"It's fine to be a carver. I need talents like you to open a factory now." Sanzang finished speaking and put the teacup in his hand on the dining table in front of him.

"Could it be a temporary worker?" Dou Xiaogu questioned, he was afraid of being a temporary worker, and only wanted to get started on a big job.

"Haha, why do I spend so much time looking for temporary workers? As a formal worker, you can directly use the best wood. If the carving is broken, it will be mine. The salary will start at 100 yuan. Hard work will pay more. Cap it." Sanzang laughed out loud, and offered his own price directly.

"Hiss, is there really 100 yuan?" Dou Xiaogu gasped when he heard this, and looked at Sanzang with burning eyes.

"Of course, ask your father if you don't believe me." Sanzang smiled and nodded.

Dou Xiaogu really turned his face to look at his father, and sent out a questioning look.

"Nephew, isn't this 100 yuan too much? Now the salary of the eighth-level master worker is only more than 100. Don't worry about my face." Dou Zhishan ignored his son and looked at Sanzang and said kindly.

When Dou Xiaogu heard this, he was so angry that he would die, and secretly complained in his heart that there is such a dishelpful old man, but he no longer has any doubts.

"Not much, not much, we just want to use high salaries to attract skilled carvers. You forgot, we are going to the Eastern Japan to earn US dollars. One carver will carve one piece a month and we will keep our capital. What we earn is our pure profit." Sanzang briefly explained.

"Well, it's reasonable for you to say that. However, opening a woodcarving factory is a lot of things. It's not just a matter of simply hiring a few carvers. The big workers, small workers, helpers, odd jobs, etc. have to be arranged. You have considered everything. Are you ready?" Dou Zhishan stroked the beard on his chin.

"This is exactly the purpose of my invitation to you. There are thousands of people in my family and one person in charge. I have never worked in this line of work. I need an old man like you to be in charge of me. I decided to appoint you to be the head of this woodcarving factory." General Counsel, take full charge of its preparations, what do you think?" Sanzang looked at Dou Zhishan and said sincerely.

"Well, how much power is this?" Dou Zhishan asked after pondering for a while.

"Everyone listens to you, including me." Sanzang understood what Dou Zhishan meant. He didn't want to seize power, but he was afraid that if he didn't know how to pretend to understand, he would order carelessly, and if he didn't do things well, his reputation would be damaged.

"Okay, he is the one who does great things, and this old man of yours will take over." Dou Zhishan nodded solemnly.

"That's great, thank you uncle!" Sanzang was overjoyed when he heard that, he took Dou Zhishan's big hand with both hands and shook it vigorously.

　thank you very much!
