Indeed, although huanghuali wood can basically be distinguished by wood dealers, it is difficult for so many materials to be recognized quickly.
"The owner is right. We need enough samples to show the advantages of our products to other countries. In the past, Zhongzhou was the main producing area of huanghuali, but the scarcity of huanghuali in Zhongzhou, coupled with the war, has made it far from what they want. Demand for high-end wood.”
"So we don't need to engage in a price war, and we don't need to lower the overall price. As long as we maintain the scarcity and craftsmanship quality of huanghuali, we can make the entire huanghuali industry lively." Liu Qingge said.
Huanghuali is the most high-end wood. The preference for huanghuali in the two countries did represent the recognition of huanghuali by a large number of people.
Now if we want to push the huanghuali from the island, the best way is to make some samples first.
"Currently we don't have a master in this field, and we are missing a piece of craftsmanship in both production and carving. If you want the most exquisite furniture and huanghuali ornaments, you still need to find a master who knows Su Gong."
There are not many masters of Su Gong in Zhongzhou, let alone on the island now.
The previous plan to build factories in various places was empty talk without the masters who knew Su Gong to make patterns and samples.
Although they can also sell only huanghuali wood, it is difficult to obtain higher returns by selling only raw materials.
After all, due to the scarcity of huanghuali and the transportation time of about ten days, failure to obtain high returns is equivalent to doing business at a loss.
Liu Qingge lowered his eyes and pondered: "It is a pity that such good wood is not worthy of Su Gong. What's more, if we don't make more than ten times the profit, this trade will be equivalent to a loss."
"Indeed, when I proposed building a factory in the country of sale, I still had too few ideas for such precious wood. There are very few masters in Donghuang and Nanqi. At the very least, we need to find someone to make samples."
"The most powerful thing about Su Gong's master is his ability to innovate."
"Master, give me half a month to try. If it doesn't work, we will consider selling only wood."
Liu Qingge wondered: "Mr. Lin knows a master in this field."
"I don't know them, but I have a few academy classmates in Northern Jiangsu. I want to ask them about them before I go to Northern Jiangsu to find these masters."
Seeing Lin Anran taking the initiative to ask for help, Liu Qingge handed the matter over to Lin Anran without even thinking about it.
Three days later, Lin Anran brought three people to see Liu Qingge.
"Master, these three are the masters I found." Lin introduced sadly.
"The villain Wang Yichuan."
"The villain Wang Erchuan."
"The villain is king of mountains and rivers."
"Meet the master."
Liu Qingge said politely: "You three don't have to be so polite. You three are masters of Su Gong."
"Master, we are all Su Gong masters. Each of us has more than ten years of experience in making Hainan huanghuali. These young masters can rest assured."
"I need a batch of furniture samples and accessories samples. How many can you make in half a month?"
"Young master, this furniture definitely requires slow and careful work. In half a month, the three of us can make a set of furniture together, which is pretty good, let alone oiling and drying. All of this takes time." Wang Yichuan It was the talker among the three who deliberately emphasized.
Liu Qingge also knew that these things could not be rushed, but there was not much time left for her. Some time ago, she heard that Song Jingrong was defeated and retreated to Xishu with Tuoba Yuanyu.
I believe that within half a year, the winner will be decided between Song Jingrong and Song Jingshu.
What Liu Qingge needs to do during this period is to accumulate wealth initially.
No matter which step she takes in the future, the most critical step is always to make money.
Without money, she would not be able to carry out her next plan.
"Okay, you must make me a set of furniture and accessories in this half month. First of all, there is no need to polish, and secondly, there is no need to oil, just making and carving. I wonder if it can be done?" Liu Qingge thought. This is the most compromise approach.
A few people briefly discussed it before replying: "The three of us brothers will try our best. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the three of us will work as fast as possible."
"Okay, as long as you three brothers have the commitment, I believe you three brothers can make it soon."
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." The three of them saluted in unison and then retreated.
The main steps of Huanghuali furniture are: line drawing, cutting, rough machining, making mortises and tenons, fine machining, and painting. If you save the time for painting, the construction period will indeed be greatly shortened.
During the period of sample preparation, Liu Qingge began to prepare for business. Both Donghuang and Nan Qi expressed interest in this batch of huanghuali wood, but they could not place an order without samples. Liu Qingge understood that in business, It was impossible for her to win such a large order with just a few words. She still had to see the goods before placing an order.
But the problems from trade to sea to land transportation were basically solved by Liu Qingge. There were many huanghuali on the islands, but they were more valuable than gold on the entire continent. Liu Qingge even wanted Qingtian to escort the goods.
After all, this was the first transaction, and she originally intended to let Lu Renjia take the lead in the matter. However, since Lu Renjia and Cuizhu had just gotten married, she was unwilling to break up the two of them, so she decided to do the transaction herself.
When thinking about Liu Qingge, she inevitably thinks of Li Mengxue, and I wonder how she is doing with Song Jingrong now.
Speaking of which, Song Jingrong was quite shameless and had not threatened her with Li Mengxue so far.
…
Under the candlelight, Liu Qingge looked at the letter in his hand and laughed dumbly.
Cui Liu saw Liu Qingge's strange expression and asked, "Master, what's bothering you?"
"The letter said that Song Jingrong and Qian Chuwan were at odds. Now Song Jingrong is facing internal and external troubles."
"Qian Chuwan? A young lady from the Qian family. Didn't she already marry Song Jingrong and become the Princess of Xishu? Before Song Jingrong's great career was accomplished, the backyard caught fire first. Isn't this a joke?"
Liu Qingge said in a deep voice: "Don't you think Qian Chuwan is too strange? She married Song Jingrong on behalf of Qian Chuxue. Song Jingrong will naturally have a lot of dissatisfaction, but she herself has never been able to position herself correctly. If you want to find this phantom's brow, tell me how stupid Qian Chuwan is."
"There are many fools, and Qian Chuwan is not the least of them. Although Qian Chuxue, Shangguan Xizhi, and Sun Baoguo also come from aristocratic families, they are also fools."
Liu Qingge shook his head: "It's still different. There are so many concubines in the Qian family, but there is only one legitimate daughter. It's normal for her to be spoiled. Do you think you can pick Qian Chuwan out of so many concubines to marry Song Jingrong? , do you think she will be just an ordinary concubine?"
